(3rd PoV)
While Shiori, Shino and Kiba went to search for Gaara's location, Naruto was anxious and worried.
Both for Gaara's safety, and his own.
While he was resting in the bed provided to him in Suna, five clones of Shiori were guarding him.
Thankfully, Kakashi-sensei was in the room, otherwise, he might have not remained innocent anymore.
This weird girl has kept attacking him, and even just kissed him in front of everyone just now.
Just who the hell is she!?
And just looking at her body in a tight-fitting bodysuit has started rising something in him.
And it is not the Shield Hero.
Yet, despite her predatory behaviour, she seems lonely.
"Hey! Why are you my bodyguard?"
"You don't like it?"
"Umm, I mean, it's not like I don't like it, but I want to become strong enough so that I won't need a bodyguard..."
"I was assigned the mission to protect you. In the village, you are the most important individual.
Though personally..."
She put her hand inside her suit, and took out a picture book.
"I want to experience romance like this. Commoner bodyguard saves the princess, and they marry happily."
This was a picture book that is popular with little kids. Afterall, boys want to become a ninja who saves princess, and well... girls want to be a princess-
"Who are you calling Princess!?"
Since Shiori was the bodyguard here, doesn't it mean that Naruto is the princess?
Shiori just shrugged.
"Why didn't no one see you in the village?"
As Naruto asked this, her face got a little sad.
"I was in ANBU since young. And was in your orphanage before. But you don't remember me..."
"Of course I remember you! Hahaha!"
Even though he said it, everyone knew that it was a lie.
Shiori's clones' suddenly received a message. All their consciousness are connected afterall.
"We have found Kazekage's location. 21 kms 4 O' clock from the main gate of Suna.
Sasori and Deidara are in the middle of extraction of the Bijuu, and Kisame is on guard. His chakra is on the same level when he fled. About twice as Kakashi-sensei's."
Kakashi still hasn't recovered completely. He didn't use Kamui, but Itachi's genjutsu certainly did damage him, just not enough to put him into hospital.
The team gathered, including a weakened Kakashi, Naruto, clones of Shiori, Sakura, Chiyo, Gai and Lee. Shiori, Shino and Kiba are already near the target.
"I have healed Kankuro. He should be fine with a week of rest. But... I could only prepare two more antidotes of Sasori's poison."
This means that atmost, two people can fight Sasori. And they will have to somehow separate Sasori from his group.
Shiori could copy the antidote with her symbiote, but didn't.
"Chiyo-sama, Sakura and Shiori's clones will deal with Sasori, since poison can't be transferred back to the main body."
Kakashi instructed the formation.
Chiyo is familiar with Sasori's fighting style, and Sakura and Shiori's enhanced strength are perfect for breaking his puppets.
Everyone nodded, and Shiori's clones teleported them all to the location.
'Gaara, I am coming to save you!'
Naruto thought, determined.
--------------------
(First PoV)
"They have arrived."
I informed Shino and Kiba as we were hidden at a sufficient distance from the target's position.
Suddenly, everyone was teleported to our position by my clones.
I dispelled them, and pretended to get memories back from them.
I created three Shadow Clones again, and gave them to Sakura and Chiyo.
"Keep Hokage's disciple safe. If worst comes to worst, abandon Chiyo."
"Yes Boss!"
I ordered my clones, making everyone uncomfortable.
Well, I have to play the part of the future leader of ROOT.
Guy, Lee and Kiba will take care of Kisame.
And Naruto, Kakashi, Shino, and I will take care of Deidara, who can fly.
"Kakashi-sensei, will you able to fight?"
Even after Sakura has healed him, he isn't really at full strength. He will be a burden-
"Don't worry. I have a new jutsu."
Oh. Kamui.
Hmm... Let's have him use it. I will then 'heal' him and copy Kamui.
"Yosh! Let's Go!"
-----------------------
(3rd PoV)
"They are here. Too soon."
Sasori and Deidara grumbled. They have not been able to extract even one-fourth of One-tail's chakra.
"I will go and blow them up!"
Deidara shouted in frustration, and went outside, while Sasori and Kisame's projection clone continued to extract One-tail's from Gaara.
But just as he was about to leave, the cave started cracking, as if hit by a strong force.
Another punch, and the whole cave crumbled.
Sasori, Deidara, and Kisame's projection clone without Samehada were now face to face with Konoha's reinforcement and Chiyo of Suna.
Shiori, who brute forced her way using punches like Tsunade, didn't waste time and threw several kunais all around, and her tentacles connected to them.
They all tried to dodge, but in the process, one of her tentacles touched Gaara, and teleported him away. Even acquiring his DNA in the process.
Deidara immediately took out his clay dragon, intending to fly away. But, she appeared behind him, teleporting to a kunai, and slammed a Rasengan on him, quickly marking him and acquiring his DNA as well.
Meanwhile, Chiyo and Sakura engaged with Sasori, and Kakashi and Guy engaged with Kisame.
"Katsu!"
One of Shiori's tentacles exploded due to Deidara's nano-bomb, and she activated her Byakugan vision to find out where the real Deidara is.
Deidara was escaping using the Hiding in a mole technique, but, that made her smirk.
She let him escape, knowing that she has already marked him without him noticing.
"Sixth Gate: Open!"
In the meantime, Guy and Kakashi killed Kisame's projection clone, and Sasori was having difficulties by facing not only Sakura and Chiyo, but Naruto's Rasengan Barrage.
Poison?
Naruto just sent Shadow Clones and bombarded then with Rasengans.
Shiori looked above, seeing through the ceiling of the cave, watching Deidara on the top of his clay bird, ready to drop explosions.
She teleported to him, and quickly severed his head and absorbed some of his DNA.
This time, he was dead for good.
But suddenly, his body and head started bloating, as if ready to explode.
She threw it away with all her strength, and in the sky, a loud explosion was about to happen.
"Kakashi-sensei! Erect a Mud Wall!"
Shiori teleported back to Naruto, covering him with her symbiote and intending to teleport him and the all others whom she grabbed with her tentacles.
"There is a jutsu I want to try out. At my signal, teleport us away."
Deidara's body exploded mid air, and Kakashi activated Kamui.
While the explosion happened very far away from them, it was on a very large scale.
Kamui started absorbing some of the explosion, but it certainly won't be enough.
"Now!"
Shiori teleported all of them away to Gaara's location.
They arrived inside Suna where they were resting before.
Gaara was still alive and breathing, just unconscious.
Sakura immediately started healing him, and Shiori started healing Kakashi who fell down due to using Kamui. And in the process, she copied Kamui.
"Kazekage Rescue Mission, successful."
