Author's note: Ok some things here will not be the same but there minor. After all it has to go with the story but enjoy!:)
Naruto does not belong to me but to Masashi Kishimoto
" You two.."
" ..They are.."
' We were a bit too late it seems' Tension was high in the air but broken by Naruto's question.
" Sa-.. Sakura-chan! Who.. Who the hell is that!?" Naruto pointed to Garra while looking back to sakura.
" Although his figure has been transformed... He's the one named Gaara!" Pakkun sniffed.
" He.. attacked Sasuke-kun.." Naruto gritted his teeth in shock.
" Mind you I'm not a battle-type!"
" I CAN TELL!" Sakura was not happy or amused.
" .. You.. you're the one I failed to kill that time" Gaara looked at Naruto with hate.
" You guys! Get Away!.. Huh!?" Gaara jumped towards Sasuke.
" DIE! Uchiha Sasuke!" Sakura went in front of Sasuke guarding him.
" Sakura-chan!" Gaara used his sand arm to crush her against a tree. Naruto Grabbed Sasuke before he could get hit. Gaara held his head in pain. Memories started playing in Gaara's head.
" What's wrong? Weren't you gonna retreat?"
" ... Sasuke-kun... Naruto."
" What are they to you"
" There're my Precious people! You leave them alone, or else! I'll kick you ass!" Gaara squished Sakura more with his sand claw.
" Now what? Aren't you gonna kick my ass?"
" Damn you!" Naruto rushed to Gaara and was forced back by his sand.
" Shit" ' I know.. I got no other choice... Although it'll drain me of so much chakra... I must summon Gama the boss!' Naruto slammed his hand on the tree branch. A small frog appeared surprising Naruto and Gaara.
" What the!? it's only a kid! Gimmie snacks if you wanna ask a favor! Otherwise, I won't play with you!"
" Well, you know what!? I Hate you frogs altogether!"
" What's that!? Don't you dare take amphibian for a fool!"
" Wait.. I haven't got the time to play around with you lil' warty-face!"
" Precious people..!? You make me laugh I fight for my sake only!" Gaara transformed further now.
" She won't be released from the sand unless you beat me. Not only that It'll only get tighter as time passes and eventually kill her!" Gaara shot out sand balls to Naruto. Naruto grabbed the frog and was hurled across hitting a tree.
" Boy, you're weak"
" Shaddup!"
" ! But what is he?" Naruto looked at Gaara in the eyes.
' What sad eyes.. Very lonely eyes...' Naruto went through his memories and then remembered when Sasuke accepted him even knowing he had the kuuybi sealed inside him. Naruto's will resolved and he stood up with determination.
" Show your powers like the time you defeated that Hyuga! I will crush those powers!" Gaara's Sand hand shot at Naruto, But Naruto dodged and then smiled.
" Here I go! Brand new Advanced Taijustu Technique! Uzumaki Naruto: Clone Body slam!" Naruto Summoned some clones and they jumped to Gaara.
" DO it Now! " One of the Naruto clones grabbed the original and threw him at Gaara. Naruto summoned another clone to dodge gaara and another one to jump up to Gaara, using the clone.
" Hidden Leaf Ancient Taijustu Supreme Technique! 1000 YEARS OF PAIN!" Naruto stabbed Gaara in the but with a kunai. Gaara looked at Naruto indifferently. He used his tail to hit Naruto towards a tree.
" Boom!" Naruto smiled even with his injuries. Sasuke had shielded Naruto before he could hit the tree. Naruto looked back to Sasuke.
" Sasuke...!"
" You idiot that was reckless! And you only managed one blow!"
" Stop nagging will ya!"
" Hey.. Naruto.. You can save her no matter what. I know you can save her... Once you got her carry her, and run.." Sasuke got cut off from Naruto
" NO! I am not leaving you here! Not in a million years, I know what real strength is.. I WILL PROTECT THEM , NO MATTER WHAT!" Naruto had summoned hundreds of clones. Everyone was in shock.
" He's pretty good this guy!" The small toad sounded relieved.
" SORRY TO HAVE KEPT YOU WAITING! WELL, ARE YOU READY!? IM GONNA START THE " NARUTO NINJA SCROLLS" NOW" Naruto was smiling with determination.
" What the?"
" What is this?"
" This... this is incredible"
" Sasuke take it easy Ok Just leave the rest to me" Naruto turned around and gave a small peck to Sasuke's cheek.
" Y-You Idiot there's people here" Sasuke still blushed. Naruto merely smiled handsomely. He looked back to his opponent.
" ALL RIGHT EVERYBODY LET'S GO! JUMP!" They all jumped towards Gaara.
" U-ZU-MA-KI! NARUTO NISEN RENDAN!"All the Naruto had punched Gaara in one fell swoop. Beating him to a bloody pulp.( not literally)
" Ugh.. this guy who the hell is he..?"
" That ain't all I got! Here's some more! This time I'll use both my hands and feet and... I'll go at it with a Yosen Rendan! All the Naruto were going on Gaara.
" .. this guy how can I to AHHHH Lose No Way I can!" All the Naruto clones were poofed away with impact.
" Wha.. What is that.."
" The enemy's pretty good too!" A gigantic tanuki had appeared. Sand started going around Naruto.
" Naruto!"
" Inu tori Saru Hitsuji"
" Sabakukyu DESERT COFFIN!"
" Kuchiyose No JYUTSU!" A gigantic toad appeared in place of Naruto.
" Whats with you.. YOU AGAIN! What cha want!?"
" Im counting on you, Oyabin"
" Nope!"
" Huh!? But, like why!" You said you'd make me your underling last time! A boss is someone who's supposed to help a underling when he's troubled, ain't he! That's what Junji( Way of the Family) IS ain't it!"
" For sure, I said i'd make you my underling but... I ain't exchanged my Sakazuki( sake) with you yet, so..."
" But, but, but! Im not 20 years old yet! I can't drink Sake!" The small toad from earlier jumped on Naruto's head.
" Now, don't be saying that and listen to the fellow. Would ya! I was saved by this' un so! Pops!"
" Huh! Pops!?"
" Why you here Gamakichi!"
" I was bored so I came out to play, But never mind that, that guy tried to bully me' round!"
" Tell you what kid.. I'll recognize you as my underling and I'll show you all about Jingi!"
" Huh? Huh? You're father and son?"
" That's right!" Gambunta unsheathed his sword.
"It's payback time, you hoodlum! HOLD ON TIGHT NOW!" Gambunta jumped to the large tanuki. Gaara Pushed him away causing the ground to shake.
" Hey! Hey! Boss! Sasuke and Sakura are over there on that side! So don't go to that side! Lure him this way, would ya!"
" It's his this( main squeeze) Pops"
" We have to defeat him! Or else we can't save Sakura-chan!"
" You're fun! This is fun! UZUMAKI NARUTO!" The body of Gaara started showing onto of the tanuki's head.
"..so, that's the medium, huh.."
" Thank you for keeping me entertained so far... Now i'll show you the true powers of the Sand Demon!"
" That medium shows the signs of insomnia, from being possessed by shuukaku, eh... take a look at those bags under his eyes. I could give him competition..."
" INSOMNIA!?"
" Those possessed by the badger demon, Shuukaku, become such that they can't even have a single night of decent sleep. I understand- It's because of the terror! If they sleep their personality is eaten away by Shuukaku. bit by bit until they disappear! Because the medium suffers from lack of sleep, their personality tends to be unstable but ya know.. while that medium's normally awake, shuukaku's real powers are suppressed but.. if that medium were to fall asleep on his own then.."
" SPELL OF FAKE SLEEP!" Gaara was put into a deep sleep.
" HAHAHAHA I'M FINALLY OUT! HIYAHOOO! AND HERE'S SOMEONE I WANNA KILL, RIGHT-OFF! FUUTON..."
" We're gonna jump!"
" RENKUUDAN!" A powerful attack of sand was sent to Gambunta but he jumped right on time. Gambunta shot large balls of chakra enhanced water was sent to shuukaku. Water splashed everywhere.
" This is bad, boss! There's still one left!"
" YEAH! I DID IT! I KILLED HIIM I KILLED HIM!"
" THAT HURT! YOU PUPMED SO MUCH DAMN CHAKRA INTO THAT BALL YOU THREW AT ME! EVEN I CAN'T TAKE TOO MANY HITS FROM THOSE! " Gambunta recovered obviously angry.
" What are we supposed to do!"
" FOR NOW, ROUGH UP THAT MEDIUM KID! SO THE SPELL WILL BREAK!"
" HOW!?" Gamackichi was still on Naruto head smiling.
" WE'LL GET CLOSE TO THAT STUPID BADGER AND STOP HIM IN HIS TRAKCS! WE'LL DO IT WHEN HIS GUARD IS DOWN!"
" I'M asking you, how exactly are we going to do that!?"
" IM JUST A TOAD SO, I DON'T HAVE ANY FANGS OR CLAWS TO STOP HIM, SO-! USING THE HENGE NO JUSTU, I'LL TRANSFORM INTO SOMETHING THAT DOES! I'm no good at transforming, so! You will be my will and do the "in" for me.. I'll lend you my chakra! IT'LL BE A COMBO HENGE! You're probably out of chakra since you summoned me!"
' Huh!? Something with claws and fangs... umm! umm!'
" HERE WE GO!"
" AWW- MAN-!" Smoke covered Gambunta and what came out was a fox!
" Ahaha!
" Ok! do it now! Naruto ran to Gaara and Gambunta and shuukaku were in a deadlock.
" Wake up!.. YOU!" Naruto's foot got stuck in the sand and sand was about to hit him but Gambunta used his tongue to cover Naruto.
" DONT LICK ME!"(that what she said). Sand was wrapping around Naruto's legs.
" You're going to be killed by me. My existence will continue "Naruto made a hand sign and concentrated.
' Im begging you.. all i need is a little bit.. Give me enough so I can protect everyone.. Your CHAKRA!" Chakra covered Naruto in an instant and the sand was forced away.
" Die!"
" Here I go you dumb badger!" Naruto ran to Gaara and before he could punch him sand grabbed his arm.
" You.. BASTARD!" And Naruto head butted Gaara with all the strength he could. Blood ran down their sand cracked and then collapsed bringing Gaara and Naruto with it. Gambunta looked at Naruto with something akin to respect.
" Gamakichi, lets be heading on home!"
" Yeah! Pops!" The father and son disappeared with a poof. Naruto and Gaara landed on separate trees.
" ... after all this I fell.. so tired.. so empty you too right? I finally reached my limit with that final blow.. We are the same you and I, lets make this the end of it!" Naruto and Gaara jumped at each other with their fists.
' The fire of the shadow illuminates the village.. and so.. a new leaf sprouts'
Naruto was the one to land to the punch. It was his victory. Sasuke had grabbed Sakura and set her down next to pakkun.
" Check Sakura.."
" Hey!"
' What.. that guy is dragging himself over here?'
" ...My existence won't be put out.. It won't be put out! Will I be saved!?" Naruto still dragged him self even though it was painful he still kept going.
" D..Don't come any closer!" Naruto looked at Gaara with a painful expression.
" ... Being alone.. Being incomplete.. what you must feel.. What your pain must be, I understand that. But... For the people that are precious to me, to be able to... The people that are precious to me.. If you are hurting them ... And if you are trying to kill them.. I will stop you.." Naruto looked at him with a fearless and hard face. Gaara looked beyond shocked.
" What the.. What? until now, for the sake of other people, you've.."
" Because they rescued me from the hell of being alone... They acknowledged my existence... That's why they are all the most important"
" ...Love..." Gaara's eye's softened finally realizing the answer to Naruto's strength.
" That's enough, Naruto.. Sakura is all right now. This guy has run out of chakra"
" Is that so" Naruto smiled, exhausted. Temari and Kankuro appeared in front of Gaara.
" That's enough.. stop it." Kankuro looked back in shock.
" I understand..." Kankuro put Gaara's arm over his shoulder and they left.
Sasuke did the same but he pecked Naruto on his cheek with a smile.
' You did well, my koi'
