Chapter 56 - RESCUING GAARA (Part-5)

We left the Sunagakure and moved towards *Shinore terrain* as according to the tracker the bird-man was last seen flying their on his bird while held the Kazekage in its claws or talons whatever.

We arrived at the *Igor river-side* and kept running towards the kidnappers direction.

Two covered more distance Guy's and Kakashi's team went from two different routes as *Shinore terrain* was pretty big and we need to find the place where the kidnappers would hide.

"So mind telling us ,exactly why us the Kazekage kidnapped.???" asked Sakura.

"The reason for them to attack our village and kidnap our Kazekage is not yet known as the kidnappers haven't made any kind of demands ,so we simply don't even have the slightest of idea for their reason to willing be chased and hunted down by an entire village." said Chiyo with some murderous intent contained in her tone.

'Well they just want to suck out all of Gaara's chakra including the chakra of the one-tails sealed within him.' thought Ichizu.

"Argh.....if I catch those bastards who kidnapped Gaara ,I will surely give them a free ticket to suplex city....ahem...I mean to hell." said Naruto with hatred and dislike in his tone.

"Calm down naruto you will get your change." said Kakashi.

"So Sakura-chan tell me who taught you medical-ninjutsu.???" asked Chiyo with curiosity ,as according to Ichizu he was self trained and Sakura was someone's student.

"Ahh...I have been studying medical ninjutsu under Lady Tsunade for 2 years and sometimes Ichizu sensei would also teach me things." said Sakura.

"Ohh...so that slug-girl is your teacher huh....humph.!!!" said Chiyo with dislike but she still appreciated Sakura' talent in the field was medical Ninjutsu.

While Ichizu and Naruto burst out laughing "Old-granny slug.!!!! HAHAHAHAHA...." & "Tsunade the slug..HAHAHAHAHA.....I must tell her of this new nickname... pftt...."

Kakashi and Sakura this time really fell forward after listening their teammate and Konoha's Great elder making joke of their own Hokage.

After getting back on their feet they once again burst forward towards the *Shinore terrain* ,they had only covered a little distance when they suddenly halted if we don't include Ichizu who kept on running forward.

Standing in front of them were 2 individuals ,both of them were wearing black clothes with red cloud icon printed all over their uniform.

One was tall-slim bodied individual with black hair and red-eyes with 3-tomoes revolving in clockwise direction while the other was extremely short heighted with black cloth covering his face and had an extremely Strange hair style.

Itachi and Sasori blocked the path of our heroes .....ahem...I mean Naruto and friends. But our Mc didn't stop and kept on running forward without even looking towards the duo much to Sasori's annoyance as he lauched his steel scorpion tail towards Ichizu's neck with the intent to kill.

But his tail simply passed through his neck as Ichizu had already activated his E.M.S and just passed through them and said without looking back "You guys take care of both of them I am going on ahead." and Ichizu disappeared from their sight.

Sasori looked towards Itachi and asked questioningly "What was that.???".

Itachi replied without any emotion "Oni-san M.S allows him to pass through everything."

Even though Itachi knew that it isn't the truth and there is something different about his brother's M.S as no matter how strong genjutsu is being used on his brother it wouldn't have any effect on him but this isn't the only ability of his eyes.

Since he could do no shit he just ignored his brother and focused on the people in front of his while saving His chakra after all he only had 70% of his true strength usable due to borrowing another body through *Sacrifice-body* jutsu ,he also couldn't use his M.S.

"Now now...it's been quite sometime since we last meet Kakashi-san." said Itachi while trying to put him under a genjutsu but it had no effect on the latter.

"Now that's surprising.....!!!!" said Itachi.

"Why are you blocking our way Itachi...!!!" shouted naruto as his eyes turn full red while a black slit in the middle.

"Ohh...so tell me naruto did you improved since the last time we last met????." asked Itachi successfully putting him under a genjutsu.

"Humph...you think I will fall for your petty tricks." snorted Naruto as he made some handsigns as shouted "RELEASE.!!!!" successfully breaking out of Itachi's genjutsu.

'Hmm.....he has gotten much stronger than before ,though if i had my real body then things would have been different.' thought Itachi.

"Stop playing around Itachi and let's just kill them we still have to deal with that Kazekage ,i will add him in my puppet collection hehehe hehe....." said Sasori.

Chiyo narrowed her eyes at Sasori's antics while sharp canines and nails could be observed on naruto's hands and mouth.

"MOVE!!!!!!…...." Naruto only said one word but anyone could sense the insane body of murderous intent inside the voice.

"Looks like the Nine-tails inside your body in influencing you due to your anger." said Itachi.

"Let's just capture....." before he could finish his Kakashi suddenly appeared above him with extreme speed and slashed down with his 'bokken' while covering it with massive amount of *Lightning-chakra*.

Sasori attacks the ground with tail, using the momentum from the strike to dodge the incoming attack. Itachi also jumped back while making some handsigns while thinking 'So much chakra and this speed.....looks like somehow Kakashi-san has improved his chakra pool and has also gotten faster.'

Ichizu had given Kakashi two pills ,one for increasing his chakra pool to that of one-tails and other making his M.S eternal while also synchronizing it with his body so that it doesn't take a toll on him and he could activate and deactivate it naturally.

Kakashi had actually mastered his M.S but using the long-ranged Kamui attack also makes him venerable so he doesn't like to use it in close quarter fights.

BOOMMMMM...!!!!!!

A large explosion occurred destroying place where Sasori was standing. Itachi lauches a *Fire-style:-Great fire ball* jutsu while Sasori fires many explosion kunais.

Before it could reach Kakashi, he activated his M.S and said softly "*KAMUI*" and the fire ball and the kunais were s_u_c_k_e_d inside the distortion caused by the wrap.

"Troublesome....." said Sasori.

"We should attack from different directions." suggested Sasori to which Itachi nodded as soon as they tried to move forward they found themselves to be bound by some sort of formation and they couldn't move.

"How...???" asked Itachi.

"When I activated my M.S ,I placed you under a genjutsu so that both of you wouldn't notice Sakura's movement and lady chiyo's chakra threads." said Kakashi while sheathing his bokken.

'Hmmm.....due to this not being my own body and also due to the lack of M.S I could noticed that I was under a genjutsu but what about Naruto.' thought Itachi as he looked for Naruto.

"Where is Naruto.???" asked Itachi.

"He has already gone ahead." answered Sakura.

"Well...well..looks like this was the maximum we could do." said Sasori while still being paralyzed.

"Indeed..." said Itachi.

"Well...we will see each other again he you all are alive hehehe....." said so he exploded.

"Shit!!!!!!..." said Kakashi as if he understood something.

Everything was blown to dust in the radius of 1km. As the dust settled down a ripple appeared in the air and 3-individuals with some burn marks appeared from the ripple.

"Huff....huff....damn that was close." said Kakashi as at the last movement he wrapped away with Sakura and Chiyo to survive the blast.

"He exploded himself...!!!!" exclaimed Sakura with horrer written on her face.

"Nope, I don't think so." said Chiyo as she moved towards the remains of their bodies and sighed after checking them.

"What happened.????" asked Sakura...

"It is Jiro and kimme from our village." said Chiyo with sadness contained in her voice.

"Looks like they used *Sacrifice-blood* jutsu on these poor shinobi." said Kakashi while wipping away the blood coming out of his left eye. Due to the attack being to sudden ,he had to push his ability to its limit which put a strain on his body and eye.

Sakura quickly healed Kakashi's eyes and said "All of is are hurt ,I think we should rest for a bit."

(A/N:-Itachi also has E.M.S and much stronger fire-release but normal chakra pool as I will not give it to him before he leaves the akatsuki.)

"Guess we should rest for a bit." said Chiyo to which Kakashi nodded his head and they sat down to rest and recover.

{Meanwhile}

"What do you think would they have survived.???" asked Sasori.

"Yes...at most they would have sustained some injuries but they are certainally alive, don't underestimate Kakashi. He is probably stronger than most of our members." said Itachi.

"Looks like you both couldn't hold them any longer." asked Pain.

"Yes ....we did what we could do but we didn't expect Kakashi to be this strong." replied Itachi.

"Doesn't matter we have almost sealed the one-tails ,a little while longer." said Pain.

BOOOMMMMMM......!!!!!!!!!!!!

The rock placed at the entrance of the cave suddenly burst while it's pieces scattered here and there. A man wearing gauntlets suddenly came into view following him was a yellow haired teenager.

(A/N:-16 ORBS MODE:-GUANTLETS.)

A man had long hairs and possessed hypnosis-patterned red-black eyes.

Ichizu saw Gaara ,floating mid-air as all his chakra was being s_u_c_k_e_d out of him.

"*Dispersion*" used Ichizu to disrupt absorbing which resulted in the falling of the body towards ground but Ichizu used *Kamui* and teleported him in his dimension while again summoning his body and giving his body to naruto "Go to grandma Chiyo, though he is alive and one-tails is still within him ,he has exhausted a lot of his Vitality. She knows what to do."

"What about you sensei...." asked Naruto.

"I have some business here go now...." said Ichizu with slight smile.

Naruto frowned but still left with Gaara as he knew defeating his sensei is impossible maybe only Nikasu-nii-san can fight him as equal.

"Ishtar.....go and make sure he is safe." said Ichizu.

"As you wish master....." with that being said she started following Naruto while still being invisible.

"Now since the distractions are removed." said ichizu.

'Master looks like he is going to enjoy what happens next fufufufuf....naughty master bullying others is bad.' said Kisine the sword spirit of Ichizu's Kronos sword.

"Hahahahaha.....come let's see how strong are you guys." said Ichizu to Real Sasori, Real Itachi , Deidara and Kisame.

{Meanwhile}

'Master who is he...??? I can't sense his strength at all.' asked Alice the sword spirit of Nikasu while standing next to her master.

'A stupid bastard....who is also my friend.' said Nikasu with a slight smile.

'Master's friend........ moreover Master really smiled.....just who is this person...???' thought Alice.

(A/N:-Alice don't know about Ichizu as Nikasu was in Sunagakure all this time.)
