"We are 'here," stated Pakkun as they noticed a boulder with a seal on it. "I'll destroy it," stated Sakura as she condensed chakra into her fists and hit the boulder which had no impact but transferred to the floor cracking it.
"This is how you do it... Sakura" stated Naruto as he had his Zenchogan active and he dashed at it not destroying not only the boulder but the entire base which disrupted the meeting of the Akatsuki and delayed the extraction of Shukaku from Gaara.
Deidara had his giant clay bird and flew in the sky with Gaara as he dropped. Naruto and Kakashi faced Sasori, while Sakura and Chiyo faced Deidara. They'd quickly switched places and the fight between Sasori V Sakura and Chiyo occurred outside of the cave.
"I need to be careful, this jinchurriki has one shot moves, but I can probably use his little friend here. This clay bird should work nicely," stated Deidara chewing on the clay as he stated Explosion is art. The medium-sized bird bomb had fallen straight down, but before it exploded; Naruto had used purple lighting to disarm it and it spread around the area destroying the rocks and platform above them. Kakashi was shocked as Naruto just created a new jutsu and he made 2 separate handsigns afterward. Deidara had used this opportunity to escape thinking he got the jump on them, but on the left side of his body, he saw small centipedes slowly explode. This caused a chain reaction that completely blew off the left side of his body.
"What the fuck was that!" questioned Deidara as he tried to think of a plan but he immediately got punched so hard that he went through the forest destroying the trees and animals in the path. However, Deidara held a hand sign right before Naruto looked back seeing a blown-up Gaara which infuriated him, but he'd calmed down remaining stoic and calm.
"I let him get away, my bad, Kakashi-sensei," stated Naruto. "Huff, puff, I barely managed to catch up with you. You countered that Akatsuki member so easily and efficiently. I'm surprised we didn't even get battle-damaged." stated Kakashi as he looked at the new Naruto in awe.
Sasori had shown off his Iron Sand which shocked Chiyo as it was the 3rd's Kazekage unbeatable jutsu. As the sand was about to hit the duo, 2 iron sand fists with lightning emanating from them(like Shinki's) suddenly punched through the other block of iron sand. This attack from Naruto also destroyed Sasori's actual Puppet Body.
As Sasori just realized what happened, Naruto's leg was on his head. "So. Mr. Puppet Master, where is Orochimaru? I heard from a little birdie that you were having a meeting with him." Sasori looked at Naruto and smiled saying, "The meeting is going to be orchestrated at Tenchi Bridge." and then killed himself which removed the stoic expression off Naruto's face, and left him disgusted.
Sakura walked towards Naruto while being damaged from the battle and stated, "Is Gaara okay, I heard an explosion near him," Naruto looked at her and stated, "He's fine, I'd shielded him with a non-explosive clay shield,"
"When?" thought Kakashi.
Naruto and the others brought Gaara back to the village after he lent Chiyo enough chakra for herself and Gaara. The people cheered on their Kazekage which surprised Gaara as Kankaro and Temario hugged him happy he was back. He thanked Naruto and stated, "Let's have a drink as Kages." Naruto smiled back saying, "Dattebayo, it'll be sooner than you think."
They'd return to the leaf as Kakashi reported what happened and how it went smoothly thanks to Naruto. Naruto hung out with Shikamaru and Choji and tried to talk with Hinata who ran away. Just then, a tiger-like paint creature rushed at them as Shikamaru used Shadow possession and Choji destroyed it.
"Found you, stalker," stated Naruto as he rushed towards the opponent. The stalker Sai was about to launch another attack from the Super Beast Scroll when his brush was destroyed and he felt the cold tip of a kunai on his neck. Sai smiled at Naruto, and stated "So you aren't weak." Naruto released him and sent him off as Shikamaru and Choji were also confused about who the paint guy was. Naruto thought in his mind that, "It's probably some goons hired by the villagers."
