In an office is a man. The man has black hair and an orange mask with one eye hole in it. The man is looking over the village as he listens to the report. Behind him is a man dressed in shinobi attire as he is on his knees.
"They took the dates and one of the forts. They are most likely going to take the one near it as well." The man said. The man looked out of the eye hole in his mask.
"That's fine, just dont lose the last one, or you'll lose your life Mizukage." The man said waving his hand. The Mizukage then stood up.
"Yes, I understand." The Mizukage said. The man in the mask walked out of the office and as the door shut behind him he was deep in thought.
"The Nine Tails Jonchuuriki, as well as the One Tails. We don't need them just yet, but I need to keep tabs on them for now." The man thought as he walked away.

Naruto and Gaara stood on a tree branch staring at the next fort they where ordered to take down. "This place does seem to be heavily guarded. Definitely more than the last one."
"Yes. More guards at the entrance as well inside. It is also much bigger." Gaara responded. The fort they where staring at had the same sized wall as the other one, but covered a much bigger area. The fort was filled with men, either training or preparing for them to be shipped out.
"It'll be night soon. We should attack then. There seems to be about forty in all, not counting for the ones inside. We can do it." Naruto said holding out his fist. Gaara met it with his own as they fist bumped.
As the sun fell and moon came out Naruto and Gaara soon began moving in. "Six guards at the entrance." Gaara said as the two where now on the wall looking down at them. Naruto and Gaara looked at eachother and nodded.
They both jumped down while Naruto activated his wind cloak and Gaara released some sand. Naruto landed on a guy causing him to go face first into the ground. Naruto made a slash from left to right and decapitated three other men, while Gaara landed behind a dude and stuck a kunai right in his throat causing him to fall alerting the others around them.
The last guy looked behind him and was ready to scream but was stopped by sand covering his mouth. Gaara formed a ball made of sand around his head. "Sand Coffin." Gaara said causing it to crush his head.
Naruto then the threw a kunai into the head of the man he was on. "Ok. How long will it take you to prepare?" Naruto asked Gaara who was now releasing all the sand from his seals on his arm.
"Five minutes." Gaara responded as his sand dug into the ground.
"I'll go see if anything can of use to us." Naruto said walking into the village. Naruto looked around and couldn't see anything stand out except for a large building in the back of the fort. It not only stood out because of its size, but also due to it having so many guards. "That's definitely the place." Naruto said jumping on top of the building and moving towards it.
Naruto jumped from building to building before landing on the street in front of his destination. The guards didnt take long to notice him. "Hey! What are you doing?" One man asked. Naruto swiped his hand causing all the guards be cut in half at the waist.
"Alright, time to look." Naruto said as he walked in. Gaara from afar could see everything go down and he shook his head.
"Would it kill him to use a little bit of stealth?" Gaara questioned as he saw a man get tossed out the second story window.
Naruto dodged a kunai before spinning and throwing his own and it flew landing right in the mans chest causing him to fall lifeless. "Alright, what where you guys hiding?" Naruto questioned as he walked forward and looked at the desk on the other side of the room.
Naruto read papers about shipments and how many men they would be shipping put, but one stood put. It was a list on who they where trying to hire to help aid the war. He saw on the list the number of people they wanted. There where about ten people in all. The number three spot happend to be 'The Deadly Three'.
"Number one is...me?" Naruto couldn't help but laugh. "Why would they want to hire me?" Naruto questioned as he looked at the number two spot. "Kishi. The Mummy of The Sand." Naruto read. "Who's that?" Naruto exited the building with the list and headed back to Gaara.
"I'm finished. Took you long enough." Gaara said as stood up and put his hands by his side. "Ultimate Sand Tsunami!" Gaara yelled as he held his hands up and sand burst from the ground and rushes forward moving so it didnt it himself and Naruto. The sand tsunami met with the fort and crashed into the buildings causing some to collapse while other barely held on.
The fort was completely cover in sand as Gaara slammed his hands on the ground. "Sand Coffin!" Gaara yelled as the sand began to squish what was below it.
"Well if someone did survive that, they are definitely dead now." Naruto as he handed Gaara a piece of paper and he read it.
"Kishi? Never heard of that person." Gaara said shrugging.
"Me neither, oh well.Lets go back to Mei and tell her another fort has fallen." Naruto said as he started to walk with Gaara following closely.
"That was surprisingly easy." Gaara pointed out.
"Dude dont jinx it." Naruto said, but soon after rumbling was felt below him. "To late." Naruto said as he jumped up and following him was Gaara. They landed far from the ground that was now holding to people.
One was tall at least seven feet tall while the other was was around Narutos height. "Aee you the two that almost killed us." One asked smoking a cigarette in his mouth.
"Yeah. Who the hell are you guys?" Naruto asked.
"Names Kishi, that's my partner Moto." The tall one said.
"You two woke me from my nap, that I can not forgive." Moto said walking towards them. He had a sword on his back that unsheathed. "Die!" He screamed as he rushed Gaara.
He swung his sword down towards Gaara but Gaara sidstepped. Gaara then went for a punch but Moto pulled back in time.
Naruto watches they fought but then felt someone behind him. He moved his and dodged a fist. He grabbed the mans arm and threw him over his shoulder. He landed on his feet and spun trying to kick Naruto who moved back. "Intresting." Naruto said activating his lightning cloak.
The man rushed him. "Eath Style: Earth Bullet!" The man yelled sending pellets of eath at Naruto. Naruto jumped from his spot before holding out his hand.
"Shocking Wave!" Naruto yelled. Lighting in the form of a wave shout of his hand toward the man.
"Earth Style: Earth Wall!" Kishi yelled as Narutos jutsu made contact with it canceling eachother out. Naruto landed on the ground and rushed the man and threw out many attacks. Kishi would block but some where getting thorough, even when he blocked the lightning would still damage him a lot.
Naruto slowly picked up speed now faster then the man could keep up as he got hit in the stomach sending him up and Naruto jumped following and kicked him back down crashing into the ground causing a crater. "Lightning Stream!" Naruto yelled as a stre am of lightning flew from his hand and into the man causing him to scream in pain before going silent.
Gaara simultaneously dodged the blade and jumped back. Moto rushed him again aimed the blade for vital points but would be stopped by sand and on his last swing the sword got caught in the sand. Gaara crushed the sword with his sand.
Gaara the blitzed Moto as he looked around and up but then jumped right before his feet where grabbed. "Earth Style: Earth Pillar!" Moto yelled as he brought a pillar up from the spot Gaara was at causing him to rise with it. Moto then through a kunai at Gaara and it him, but was only met with a puff and smoke. Moto widened his eyes and looked around.
He the noticed sand rising behind him but was to slow to react as it covered him and forced him down on the ground. "Sand Coffin!" Gaara yelled as he crushed Moto under his sand. Naruto then walked up behind him.
"Ok. Kishi and Moto are dead. Now we can head back." Naruto said turning around and started to walk off. Gaara soon followed.
