SAGA 1 : Digging the Roots Saga

ARC 3 : Sand Family

CHAPTER 2 : Gonna Throw Dirt in your Eyes

Naruto woke up from his sleep as he heard a knock on his front door. He looked at Sasuke and Sai to see that they were sleeping. He got up as he scratched his head. He opened the door to see there was a short man with shaggy brown hair and sports a pair of small, circular black glasses. He wore a black suit with a purple tie, a yellow shirt underneath his coat and closed-toed shoes.

"Huh. I think you have the wrong room." Naruto was about to shut the room but one of the many thugs behind the Short Man stopped it.

"You are the one that defeated Yagura, aren't you?" Naruto nodded. He cut the hand of the thug holding the door. And proceeded to kick the man away.

"So what?"

"I am Gato. I work directly under Saint Rosward. And attacking me and my Territory means that you are attacking the World Goverment. You have already destroyed my Town Center and killed my Representative. I can't have this. Come with me Silently to the execution platform."

Naruto stopped moving. "So you work for a Celestial Dragon? I hate Celestial Dragons."

Naruto unleashed a Wave of Hao and knocked all of the Thugs out. He grabbed Gato and dragged him out of the building and onto the Town center. Naruto beat Gato to the brink of death and tossed him into one of the Cells that was still not destroyed.

Naruto walked back to his room. He pulled out a Den Den Mushi and pressed a number. The Den Den Mushi rang for some time before Naruto heard the sound of a Shamisen.

"I hope you continue to play it for me after our marriage." Hearing Naruto's remark, the women on the other end laughed.

"My Mother taught it to me. And My Father used to listen to it. It would always remove all of his problems."

A smile formed on Naruto's face. "It must have been your Beautiful Voice. It eases me too."

"Is that why you called? What happened?"

"I was reminded of Sabo's Death Again."

"Don't worry. He is looking at you from Heaven."

Naruto wiped his tears away. "Don't you worry. I have already started collecting my Crew. Sometimes, I will come to Wano and take it from Orochi and Kaido."

"I will be waiting." Den Den Mushi stopped speaking. Naruto stored the Den Den Mushi as he sighed. His Crew would have to fight the Beast Pirates. It was a battle that was fixed after all. Kaido the Beast Vs Gol D Naruto. A Battle to be watched.

Naruto looked out and saw that it was time to go. He coated his throat with Buso. "Wake up. We need to go."

Sasuke and Sai woke up, startled. They look at Naruto like he was mad.

"What didn't you hear me?" Sasuke sighed as he stood up.

Sometimes later,
Halina …

"Well, we were not attacked this time. Maybe we will go through this town peacefully." Naruto brought out a flask from his storage and took a sip of it.

"What is that?" Naruto handed the flask to Sasuke who sniffed the flask and handed it back to Naruto. Took it back and sipped.

"I told you to not come near my Sister." They turned to the sound and saw a man wearing black, baggy, full body suit with a red and yellow circle on the front with a black hood which covered his head completely, and had cat-like ears slamming a man with narrow brown eyes, a black goatee and a typical expression suggesting he is either bored or irritated and shoulder length black hair tied in a spiky ponytail, wearing cream-colored coat and black pants.

But the Cat hooded man was smacked by a blonde girl with two ponytails at the bottom of the back of her head. She wore a pair of simple white earrings, a light pink lipstick, and also a shuriken holster on her right thigh. Her outfit consists of a dark blue short sleeved dress that reached her above her knees, a beige belt with white polka dots around her belly, fingerless black gloves, and high-heeled boot-sandals with wooden soles. She carried a huge fan on her back.

"Forget about him, Kankuro. Let's go back before Gaara is pissed and does something."

Kankuro sighed as he let Shikamaru go. "Whatever you say, Temari."

Naruto helped the Bored Man up. He gave his flask to the Man, who took a swig of it.

"That is some good stuf. Who may you be? I have not seen you here before."

Naruto took the Flask back and wiped the opening. "We just arrived here. We are going to go to Pesvi."

"It is far from here. Troublesome. Why don't you spend the night at my home? The Inn here has had a huge increase in Price since the new Noble came here."

Naruto looked back at his crewmate before he nodded. "Very well. My name is Nara Shikamaru."

"I am Gol D Naruto. This is my First-mate Uchiha Sasuke and Navigator Sai."

Shikamaru stopped. "So you are Pirates? Well, don't tell anyone that you are a Pirate."

Naruto laughed as Shikamaru opened They will over react."

Shikamaru opened the door. "I am home."

As soon as Shikamaru entered the house, a long, dark brown hair kept in a low ponytail with three strands framing her face, fair skin and dark eyes wearing a pink blouse and dark-coloured skirt along with an apron over it and a pair of simple hoop earrings hit Shikamaru on his head.

"What did you do? Why are you covered in dirt?" Shikamaru moved his head towards Naruto. The Woman let Shikamaru go as she bowed to them.

"I am Nara Yoshino. I am Shikamaru's Mother." Yoshino ran in and dragged a man with two scars on the right side of his face, dark hair tied up into a spiky ponytail, dark eyes as well as a goatee and his ears were pierced and wore a simple, light-coloured kimono and a haori.

"This is my husband, Nara Shikaku. Welcome to the Nara Household." Naruto looked at Shikaku closely.

"I feel like I have seen you somewhere."

Shikaku smiled. He raised his hand and it turned it into shadow. "I was a pirate with a Bounty of 772 Million Berry. I was the Archeologist of the Konoha Kaizokudan. I served under Senju Hashirama. But the Crew was forced to disband because of Shimura and the First Mate."

Sasuke and Sai looked at each other. "Wait, you mean Danzo Shimura, the Head of Root."

Shikaku nodded. "Disbandment of Konoha Kaizokdan was Roots first mission. Only some of us survived. But that is the story of Past, lets not dwell on it."

Shikaku went in. Shikamaru followed his father. Naruto and his crew followed him in.

That Night…

Naruto woke up as he felt thirsty and walked into the Kitchen and took a swig of water. He heard the sound of footsteps and looked out of the window to see Temari. Shikamaru jumped out of his window and landed infront of Temari. They looked at each other before kissing.

"We were almost caught today. Thank God it was not Gaara. He would have killed you."

"What a drag! Why can't we just say it to them?" Temari slapped him.

"Are you mad? Why would you want to do that? Are you sucidal?" Shikamaru laughed nervously.

"I gotta go." Temari gave a quick peck and ran away. Shikamaru walked in and saw Naruto looking at him.

"Did you see what happened?" Naruto nodded. Shikamaru sighed.

"Well, I have been dating Temari for 3 years. But her father is a Noble of the Sabaku Clan. Her father has been ruling this Town. Till this date he has not caused any problem to the town so we let him be."

Shikamaru walke dinto his room and closed the door.

"You have not trained him in Ken, have you?" Naruto turned to a Dark Corner as Shikaku walked out of the shadow.

"I have taught him basic Buso. But not Ken."

"You must be good at Haki to coat yourself in Buso and blend into the Shadows." Shikaku laughed. "Why don't you try to move?"

Naruto looked at Shikaku before walking to the door and back. "Was something supposed to happen?"

Not hearing any reply from Shikaku, Naruto decided to go back to his room. As soon as the door closed, Shikaku fell to the ground. He activated his Ken and looked at Naruto's Room and it felt like he was looking straight at Sun. Shikaku had tried to use Emission and Grab Naruto's leg, but Naruto had broken out of his hold without any effort.

Next Day,

Halina Gate …

"So, this is it." Naruto looked at the road to Bagegraum.

"It was a pleasure meeting you." Naruto shook Shikamaru's hand. He let go and was about to walk away.

"Shikamaru, Get away from Halina now. Go get your family and get away." Naruto and the crew stopped as Temari ran in.

"Why? What is about to happen?"

"Father is about to unleash Gaara's Full Zoan Form. And Gaara does not have any control over it. He is going to turn this whole island into a Desert."

Naruto smiled. "Is that so? Then we will have to jump in. As a thanks for letting us stay, we are going to take care of this problem. Now, where can we find this Gaara guy?"

Temari started shaking. "You think you can defeat Gaara? Gaara has eaten Tanuki Tanuki no Mi, Model : Ichibi. He can't be touched."

Naruto laughed." Just Icibi, I have taken care of Sanbi."

"But the user was in control, but not with Gaara. The Fruit's will will be the one that will cause destruction."

Naruto stopped laughing. "I will take care of it myself."

Naruto activated his Ken. He felt the largest presence. He looked to his side and saw Sasuke had also used his Ken. They nod to each other as they run towards the Presence. Sai followed them.

Shikamaru hugged Temari as he tried to calm her. Shikamaru coated himself with Buso as a Single Blade of Air hit him. He let her go as he turned around and saw a very tall two distinctive, red markings on the right side of his face, the only visible part of his head, with the rest being covered by his turban-like head gear and by a sheet hanging from it on the left side of his face.

"So Rasa-Dono was right? You are a Threat and as such you have to be klilled."

Temari laughed. "Are you stupid? I have eaten Kaze Kaze no Mi. It is a Logia Type and as such you can not defeat me."

Baki just raised his hand and it was covered by Buso. "Well, let's see about that. Kamaitachi."

Baki released a single small air blade but Shikamaru coated his fist with Buso and grabbed the blade before it could hit Temari. "You should follow them. They might need your help."

Temari nodded as she ran towards where Gaara was.

Nara Shikamaru VS Baki Begins …

"You think you can fight me? I have mastered the Art of Rokushiki. Someone like you can't think of defeating me."

Baki appeared before Shikamaru and thrust his finger at high speed trying to pierce Shikamaru but Shikamaru coated his chest with Buso and the attack did nothing to him.

"I will have to end this battle quickly. Troublesome." Shikamaru coated his fist with Buso and punched Baki in his stomach. Baki coated his stomach with buso, The Punch connected. But Baki had a smile on his face.

Shikamaru learned why Baki was smiling as he felt something pierce his fist. He looked down to see a Wooden Stake had pierced him. Before he could react, Baki hugged him. And multiple stakes appeared out of him and pierced Shikamaru. He let go of Shikamaru as Shikamaru hit the ground.

Baki raised his hand as a Blade appeared in his hand and was about to stab Shikamaru but he was back handed.

"This was your Grandfather's Devil Fruit. Hope you will use it well." Shikaku held a small, spherical, black fruit that seems like a black pearl, but has swirls and patterns over the whole fruit near Shikamaru's mouth. Shikamaru took a bite. Shikaku lifted him and moved him to a shade.

Baki stood up and approached Shikaku. "So, you are going to be my opponent."

Shikaku walked past Baki as he made his way to his home. Baki raised his leg as he was about to fire a Rankyaku but found that he could not move.

"Your battle is with me." He felt his body move and turn and looked straight at the person he had thought he had killed.

Shikamaru made Baki walk to the Stake and pick it up before stabbing himself with it. He then let his technique go as he came infront of Shikamaru.

"What are you doing?"

"This is the Shakou Shakou no Mi. I am and can control Shadow itself." Shikamaru coated a stake with Buso and stabbed Baki. Baki was killed and his lifeless body hit the ground.

"What a drag." Shikamaru pulled out a Cigrate and lit it before moving towards where Temari had gone.

Nara Shikamaru VS Baki Ended…

Winner : Nara Shikamaru

With Temari…

Temari was running towards Gaara but she saw flaming orbs that resembled a small sun coming towards her. She waved her fan and the Orb was sent into the sky, where it exploded.

"I am sorry but I will have to eliminate you." Temari saw a fair-skinned girl with pupiless brown eyes. She had green hair that she tied in a bun on top of her head with a hair needle running through it and one short and long strands of hair with orange tips framing each side of her face. Her attire consisted of a sleeveless, backless top and short tight pants, with two lapels on the front and the back. She wears an obi around her waist, as well as purple arm-warmers which extend up to her shoulders, and has bandages around her tights and ankles.

"Don't stop me Pakura. We have to stop Gaara."

Sabaku no Temari VS Pakura Begins…

Pakura concentrated Scorch into both hands and created two whips. She whipped Temari but shot multiple bullets of air at the whip with intense speed. The bullets had great power causing the Whip to miss her.

"You have some strength. But not enough. Koboshi." Pakura condensed Scorch into a ball shaped miniature star. The star floated around Pakura in a circular formation, as if orbiting him before it shot towards Temari.

"Fujinheki." Temari summoned a swirling stream of wind, which started encasingher and dispelled the incoming attacks. The Swirl of wind stopped as Temari looked at Pakura.

"Very well." Pakura raised her hand and a Scorch Ball formed on his palm. It started to grow. Temari thought about how she was going to defeat Pakura but stopped as she remembered what Shikamaru had told him.

"Renkudan." Temari gathered Wind in her mouth before slamming her stomach causing the wind to be shot at Pakura. Pakura couldn't dodge as she was preparing her attack. The Wind tore through Pakura's hand, causing the attack to cancel.

"That's it. I will destroy you and this whole world." But Temari just slammed a Blade of wind into her head killing her.

Sabaku no Temari VS Pakura End…

Winner : Sabaku no Temari

"So you remembered what I told you." Temari looked at Shikamaru and smiled. She ran at Shikamaru and jumped him.

"You both did good. I am especially impressed by you princess." They all turned to Naruto and saw that he had a Red Glowing Apple and a spiky brown banana in his hand.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were going to fight Gaara. Don't tell me you got scared and chickened out." Naruto stored the fruit and looked at Temari. He smiled.

"I am." Naruto dispatted into smoke.

With Naruto, Sasuke and Sai…

They were jumping through buildings as they were moving towards the town center. But all of a sudden a three-eyed, four-armed humanoid with jagged teeth and a spiky brown hairstyle protruding from the top of its head and framing the sides jumped at Naruto. Sai kicked it away as Sasuke and Naruto continued.

Sai felt the Stomach of the Humanoid thing's stomach and tried to capture him but Sai jumped up. But he was hit by multiple hand-like objects.

"How dare you capture my Sister?" Sai dodged another fist as Kankuro appeared before him. His hand was held up.

Sabaku no Kanakuru VS Sai Begins…

Kankuro moved his finger as a Mouth appeared out of the ground and bite. But Sai created a bird and flew up. The three humanoid objects stood before Kankuro.

"I will kill you." Sai held his blade as the first puppet appeared above him and slashed at him with a Hidden Blade. Sai lifted his tanto and held the blade. But the puppet raised his hand and a jet of fire was unleashed.

Sai covered his Body with Buso as the fire hit him. His shirt was burned off but he did not have any burns on his body.

"Very Well. You are foolish to attack me." The third puppet rose again and was about to bite him. But Sai created a huge Rhino which broke through the Third puppet.

He then Created a Flock of Crows which then flew at the two other Puppets and destroyed them. He moved towards Kankuro and was about to behead him, but he was pulled towards Kankur, who kicked Sai in his chest.

"You were foolish to believe that I could only control puppets. I can control even living beings as I have awakened my Devil Fruit." Sai was pulled towards Kankuto. Kankuro grabbed the arm of the second puppet and slammed it into Sai.

Kankuro mooved his hand up and brought it down, causing Sai to be tossed high into the sky before being smashed into the ground.

Sai stood up and felt his hand raise as he felt his tanto press onto his Neck.

"You should not have messed with my Family." Sai felt blood pour. He knew he had to remain calm. He thought about what he could do. Then he remembered a conversation between Naruto and Sasuke.

Flash Back Begins

Sometimes before

At Road to Thei…

"So there are more uses of Haki?" Sasuke asked as he looked at Naruto for an answer.

"Well, haki is the thing that always gets the upper hand in a battle. In a battle between Devil Fruit and Haki, Haki always comes out on top. That is how my father and his crew came out on top of the World." Naruto brought out an apple and bit it.

Flash Back Ends

Back with Sabaku no Kankuro VS Sai…

Sai coated his hands with Buso. He poured every will he had to it. It turned as black as Obsidian before he pulled his hand backs. He then coated his whole body with Buso. He gave a shout as he felt Kankuro's control losse.

He then appeared before Kankuro and hit him. He uncoated himself and He was about to stab Kankuro but he felt that he could not move.

"Are you still trying to control me?"

"No I am." Sai turned to Shikamaru.

"Why are you stopping me?"

"Well, he is my Girlfriend's Brother. So I can't just let you kill him." Temari walked out and stood before Kankuro.

"You are safe. Father said that these Pirates Captured you."

"No. He is planning to destroy this town and us with it seems. Afterall we are not as strong as him or Gaara."

Kankuro started tearing up but Temari hugged him and let him cry on his shoulder. Sai looked up as he saw something shiny from where they were heading.

"Do you think we will win this battle?" Sai looked at Shikamaru and nodded.

"We will not lose until Gol D Naruto stands."

Sabaku no Kankuro VS Sai Ends…

Winner : Sai

Back with Sasuke and Naruto…

Sasuke and Naruto reached where they felt the massive presence and saw a man with auburn hair, dark eyes and a very stern look on his face and two creases around his mouth, who wore a simple black jacket and pants with mesh armour underneath. He carried a small canister strapped to his hip. His presence was not as strong as that of the boy beside him, so he had to be the Father, Sabaku no Rasa.

The Boy beside him, Gaara had fair skin, green eyes, and short spiky auburn hai. He lacked distinctive pupils or eyebrows and had tanuki-like black rings around his eyes. He had carved the kanji for "love" on the left side of his forehead, which his hair was parted in order for it to be kept visible.

He wore a long-sleeved crimson coat and full-length dark trousers with a pair. Over the coat he wore two buckled belts, a grey vest held in place by a single strap over his left shoulder, and two buckled belts which he carried a gourd.

Rasa looked at the Duo before motioning for Gaara to go on. "Go. Unleash Ichibi on my signal."

Gaara nodded as he walked in. Naruto followed him. Rasa cupped his lips as he expelled a large amount of Gold Dust at Naruto. But Sasuke parried by doing the same thing, but it was Black Fire.

Rasa turned to Sasuke with a Scowl in his face. "You have quite a powerful Devil Fruit. But it won't matter. You are unlucky to have any enemy like me."

Uchiha Sasuke VS Sabaku no Rasa Begins…

"Ryusakin Bakuryu."Rasa caused a considerable quantity of Gold Dust to erupt from beneath the surface, by placing both of his palms onto the ground directly in front of him, before manipulating the resulting substance into a wave of tidal proportions and forcing it towards Sasuke.

"Hi no Maki." Sasuke coated his sword with Black Fire before he slashed his sword and unleashed an enormous trail of intense flames which torrented towards the incoming Gold Dust Waterfall. The attack met and the Black Flame melted the Gold Dust.

"Sakin Juu." Rasa compressed an amount of Gold Dust in his index finger, and firied a small amount with tremendous force and speed.

"Lorentz Gun." Sasuke responded with his own version of the same attack but a little bigger.

"It seems we are evenly matched in terms of Devil Fruit. But I have years of Experince and Haki." The Rasa in front of Sasuke fell to reveal that it was not him.

Sasuke's Ken activated as he jumped up as a wave of Golden Dust flowed onto the area and it was covered with Gold Dust.

"You know the thing is I knew you were coming and created a Clone, thinking I can take care of you and your crew. But I can't believe you let your Crewmember go and take on Gaara. You are a Failure of a Captian."

Sasuke smirked. He landed on the field of Gold Dust. "What makes you say that I am the Captain of our Crew? That guy can defeat me without using his Devil Fruit. You would have been killed if he was the one you were fighting him."

"Kin Kyu." Rasa slamed both hands down onto the golden dust, creating powerful shock waves that compressed the sand to generate tremendous pressure. The Gold Dust raised and started to surround Sasuke. It started to shrink. The Gold Dust was then coated with Buso as it pressed against Sasuke.

Rasa smiled as the Gold Dust Shrinked. He turned around and saw that Gaara had yet to unleash Ichibi.

But Rasa stopped as he heard the sound of birds chirping. He turned around and saw that Sasuke had escaped the Gold Dust Coffin. But his eyes had changed and now it was the fabled eyes that had adapted to constant use of Ken, the Sharingan.

"So you are part of the Cursed Uchiha Clan. Very well. I shall complete what Danzo could not." The Gold Dust started to surround Rasa before forming a Golden Armor and Golden Wing. He launched towards the Sky as he formed a Sword. He swung the sword and the blade extended towards Sasuke at an instance. But Sasuke just jumped over it and ran on the Blade Towards.

Rasa swung the Blade again causing Sasuke to jump and create a flame burst out of his giving him a huge burst of speed. He reached higher than where Rasa was. Rasa formed the large blade again as he slashed at Sauke. But Sasuke just stabbed straight through it with his Chidori and advanced towards Rasa. Rasa raised his hand as he produced multiple Golden Swords and shot them towards Sasuke. Sasuke jumped on all of them as he stabbed Rasa and killed him.

He used the lifeless body of Rasa to stop the impact of his stood up and looked around to see that the area was covered by Gold Dust. He felt it touch his feet as he lost his Shoes during the battle.

Uchiha Sasuke VS Sabaku no Rasa Ends…

Winner : Uchiha Sasuke

"I am back, baby." Sasuke looked at the Giant Tanuki weird marking that had come fromt the Colleseum where his Captain had gone to.

"So, Gaara has managed to unleash the Full Zoan Form of the Ichibi. It will be hard for your Captain to Defeat him." Sasuke looked at Temari before looking back at the battle that was about to happen. His Sharingan Spinning wildly.

Sometimes Before,

The Coloseum of Halina…

Naruto and Gaara were standing before each other. Naruto raised his hand as he grabbed the Cork that Gaara had thrown at him.

"There is no need to get Angsty." Naruto crushed the Cork and let the dust fall to the ground.

Gol D Naruto VS Sabaku no Gaara Begins…

As soon as the remnant of the Cork hit the ground, Naruto spun and kicked Gaara. But Sand flowed out of the Gourd and blocked it. But Naruto just applied a little bit more strength causing his feet to go through the Sand and hit Gaara. Gaara was sent flying to the wall of the Coleseum. The Sand tried to swallow Naruto but Naruto just tore through it and stood straight.

Gaara came out of the wall only to be met with an Uppercut from Naruto. Then he was hit with a kick and then another punch. Gaara tried to use his Sand to block but Naruto just tore through the Sand.

Naruto stopped his assault as he let Gaara stand. As soon as Gaara stood, Naruto appeared before him with his fist ready for a punch. This time Gaara coated his sand with Buso,hoping to stop Naruto's Punch but Naruto appeared behind him instead and punched him.

Crack starte forming on Gaara's face. Gaara grabbed his face as the sand around him started to be lifted.

"Don't get angry, mother. I fed you some nasty blood earlier but this time it will be delicious."

Naruto just raised his fist and made a come motion. But the crack started changing as Gaara started layering sand onto parts of his body. He starte to gain a Tanuki like appearance with Claws.

"If he hadn't stopped me transforming, I would have used my Zoan Transformation. But right now, I will have to use my Hybrid Form." Gaara lunged at Naruto at a huge speed. Naruto unstored Ace and cut cleanly throught the Claw.

Gaara started laughing as a tail sprouted from his back and lunged at Naruto, faster than before. But Naruto appeared above him and gave him a Dab Kick.

Gaara stood up yet again. But this time he did not lunge at him. He stopped and asked a question. Naruto felt Sadness and Loneliness inside Gaara.

"Why?" Gaara asked. Naruto came before Gaara and touched his Forehead.

Flash Back,

17 Years Ago,

Mariejois,

Gaara's Birth…

"It's still small and premature." An Old Doctor named Chiyo Asked. She held a baby Gaara.

"He will have to do it. He is the only one we can give the fruit to." Rasa said as he cut a strange looking fruit and made the baby swallow it.

"Let me see my son." Chiyo looked at the Girl in the bed as she placed the baby next to her.

Some years later…

"You foolishly decided to make your son eat the Devil Fruit. Now he has killed another Slave that did not belong to you. The others have also agreed that your son is a failure. He even killed his guard, Yassamaru. You will either have to give him up to me or leave the Marejois. " A bald elderly man who has a very large white mustache as well as birthmark spots on his forehead said. He wore a black suit over a black tie and a white buttoned shirt, as well as black pants.

Rasa was mad even though he did not show it. He could not give up his son.

"Very well, Saint Topman Warcury. I have decided that we will leave Marejois. Come Gaara let's go." Rasa dragged Gaara out of the room.

"You will be my weapon now Gaara. You will help me destroy the MArejois and the Gorosei." Rasa said as he dragged Gaara out.

Flash Back Ends…

Naruto let Gaara's forehead go as dozens of Golden Arrow hit near him.

"That's the Signal. Thank you for keeping me entertained so far. Now, I wll show you the full power of the Sand Demon." Gaara exclaimed. Sand started circling him as his body Grew into a sandy-brown coloured tanuki, with black cursed seal markings all over its face, body, and tail. It had a jagged, concave mouth with no tongue, and the sclerae of its eyes were black, with yellow irises and pupils that each took the shape of a black four-pointed star with four black dots around it.

"I am back, baby."

The Ichibi then looked at Naruto.

"And here is someone I wana kill off. Renkudan." It beat its stomach as it let out a loud roar that turned into a blast of wind. The wind tore through everything but Naruto coated his blade in Buso and stabbed it on the ground causing the blast of wind to be split.

"Yeah. I did it. I did it." It shouted not knowing that its attack had been nullified. But Naruto appeared before him and let his Hao loose. It thought it would not be affected but it was wrong as it started to lose consciousness. It started to shrink before it turned into Gaara. Gaara started to panic.

"My existence, it will never be extinguished. There is no way that I will let it disappear." Naruto walked up to Gaara as he patted his head.

"You don't have to worry. Even if you are not strong, there will be people that will still love you." Gaara started crying on hearing Naruto's words.

Gol D Naruto VS Sabaku no Gaara Begins…

Winner : Gol D Naruto

Well, another chapter. I am going to be writing another fanfic now. And I have not mentioned but Ace is a black blade. Next Chapter, Naruto's Devil Fruit power will be used.
