SAND 2
When Obito came to stop his ex-teammate Kakashi and his team, he never thought he will return with such a sorry state. It was a mistake on his part to underestimate their child. Ofcourse the leaf village did an excellent job stunting her growth for the first part of the life of Kyuubi Jinjuriki, but it seems that once she got an opportunity, she will fully utilise it. When, Pain asked him wheather they should keep an eye on the Kyuubi Jinjuriki, or not, he dismissed. He also thought that it wouldn't be necessary and with Jiraya by her side, it was risky as he doesn't have enough information on what toad sage is capable of. And he was regretting it. The Jinjuriki has gotten fast and strong. Almost matching or even surpassing his own. Kakashi and Naruto assaulted him with well coordinated attacks. He had to phase through many of them because it was nearly impossible to dodge them all. But once in between the fight, the pink haired girl punched at him. He first thought of parrying the attack. As he wanted to save kamui for the other two. But his instincts screamed at him and he decided to phase through. And he was right on his choice as the ground beneath him, cracked and got destroyed. Obito was sweating bullets. Kidding... It was hard but not enough. But suddenly the atmosphere changed as the busty blondie got serious. It happened when one of Naruto's attacks missed. And Obito went to touch her. She seemed to be the most troublesome in the group,... Nara style. But then suddenly instincts screamed at him and he just tilted his body as something pierced through his shoulder just missing his heart. That was too fast that he couldn't even activate kamui. Tilting his head he saw a small blue portal just a couple of inches below him and a platinum blue chain coming from it. He felt his chakra began to fade away. His sharingan turned off. He couldn't think of a way. The blondie threw another solid punch and this time it rattled his head. Without any option, he pulled out a kunai and quickly severed his left arm in hope for freeing himself. But just before he could active Kamui again, a kunai got embedded in his family jweles courtesy of a certain blondie. A girly scream rang in the forest. As Obito activated Izanagi in his left eye. 'Is she taking revenge for killing her parents ?' the last thought that rang across Obito's mind before he disappeared. The moment he reappeared, his arm was back like he never severed it in the first place. Obito decided to go on offensive. First he attacked with countless wooden spikes all around him in hope of catching off guard others. Naruto was the closest so she took the attack head on. While others jumped away hastily, the saw in astonishment as the spikes stopped at the contact of her spandex. Obito was surprised. But he didn't hesitate and launched another massive fire attack at the blondie. But then he saw the fire being absorbed into the palm of Naruto. He Cursed as he activated kamui to escape. He hadn't taken account how strong the Jinjuriki could get. That was a different space-time technique. Worst case scenario, pain and himself will have to attack simultaneously. It seems he will have to hasten the process of extracting ichibi. Maybe save those two. Saving both might be impossible. Then again He can wait and see if Sasori and deidara could chip away their number. The technique that Naruto used was a portal connecting two spaces. He would not take a chance against his kamui untill he discovered all about her. He might be prideful. But he was no fool. Then anger took over Obito as he started to curse the'bitch' . If they continue in this pace, they will reach there within six hours. It seems he has to really sacrifice those two pawns.
In a dark cave, infront of a scary looking statue, laid Garra. In front of him on the fingers of the statue stood figures in black cloack with red clouds. Among them, only two were real while the others were just projections. They were in the middle of the process of extracting ichibi. When their leader pain suddenly opened his eyes. "Leaf's rescue squad is closing rapidly. They were using mass teleportation on your trail. The squad will reach there in about six hours. So we will hasten the process and you two will flee after the process is finished. You may stay and try to fight, but your death will be on yourself."
Then a black and white creature spoke up. Although in reality only the black part spoke."The Copy nin Kakashi Hatake, Blue beast Maito Guy and leaf's Jinjuriki are in this squad. The Jinjuriki has chakra restraining chains and some kind of teleportation portal so it will be wise for you to flee."
Before Deidara could complain, Sasori agreed.
Neji looked at the destruction caused by the supposed intern of Akatsuki, Tobi.
"That guy has a sharingan. But it wasn't your normal one. It's shape is odd like three reverse scythes joined at one point."As Naruto spoke, Kakashi froze.
"Are you sure ?" Kakashi asked.
"Yes ! I have seen his eyes just he went intangible after I stabbed his..."
Naruto answered and Kakashi winced.
And Neji knew instinctively that he should not know what she stabbed.
"Bu-but that was wood style !" Sakura stammered.
"Ok ! We can discuss the identity of Tobi later. What we need to do is find Garra." Naruto butted in again.
"Alright ! let's complete our missions first."
...
After almost five hours of none stop running, the rescue team finally reached the cave where the Kazekage was being held. As soon as they reached, Naruto went to inspect the seal on the cave.
"It is a trap. She stated simply. Soon she created four shadow clones and sent them to different points. After that she took out a brush and some ink and started scrribling on the rock. After a few minutes she stopped drawing. And a minute after she suddenly said "Everything is ready." Then with a boar sign, she activated the seal and after a few seconds both the seal vanished.
As soon as it vanished Sakura charged forward. And with a quick punch destroyed the bolder. It happened fast. Before Neji could understand what's happening, a platinum blue chain came from behind the blondie missing nin from iwa. It was strange to his byakugan. It seemed like the chain was coming from a round chakra construct. But at the same time the chakra construct did not have a start or finish. Was it even a chakra construct ? But he didn't have time to muse,as the chain directly pierced through his stomach and threw him at his partner before they could understand, what was happening, they both were slammed into the wall of the cave. Naruto instantly teleported near Garra and after touching him teleported back to the group.
"Elder Chiyo, Sakura !" As Naruto called out, she handed an almost dead Garra to them and stood infront of the cave. "You should go to a safe distance." As she called out, she held her palm forward creating a light golden barrier stopping a clay blast and several poisonous needles.
Then Naruto crouched down and five golden and two platinum blue chains came out of her back. Seeing her Kakashi decided to order. Guy and me will take care of the iwa nin. You guys can have the other one. formation D. Then Naruto lunged inside again and not a moment after the iwa shinobi flew outside the cave on a large clay bird dodging a few chains. His right arm was missing from his torso. As he saw Guy,Kakashi sensei and a clone of Naruto with golden wings, chasing after the flying shinobi, he went to assist inside the cave. The fight was not in his favour. Neji was a close range fighter. Although he was able to protect himself from stray poisoned senbons with kaiten, he wasn't able to do much with attack. First the third Kazekage puppet and then the hundred puppets. But Sasori wasn't able to ran away. Naruto destroyed every puppet even grinding some of them to dust. Lee covered tenten while she provided support. Then at last ditch effort, Sasori threw a large shower of flames towards them which Naruto absorbed with her palm and then redirected it in a more concentrated form of beam, from his palm. It didn't take long to defeat Sasori. When he told about his Spy near Orochimaru.
