"Do you have a plan in mind, Kashina?" Kakashi asked.

We are currently camping inside the forest. We started our journey yesterday afternoon to trace Sasori's scent because Kankuro had manage to rip a piece on Sasori's cloak. Kakashi used his dogs, yup, Pakkun earlier to locate their direction.

"Listen, Neji and I conducted a secret investigation about Akatsuki these past 2 years using Jiraiya-sama's Spy Network." I initiated. Naruto and Sakura immediately went nearer the camp fire to listen carefully while Kakashi and Lady Chiyo's already listening.

"Akatsuki's working by partners and according to Kankuro, Gaara battled an opponent in the air. Okay, that punk is Deidara of Iwagakure and was once a member of Iwagakure's Explosion Corps. I think he's also the youngest member of the organization. Kankuro also told me that Deidara's using a weird explosion jutsu and on my equation, it's a special type of detonating clay. I don't know the details on how or what but he can manipulate the clay on his own and then blow it whenever he's feeling." Well, I can't tell him everything about Deidara. I can only tell them what Neji and I investigated.

"He's a trouble, hmm, youngster?" Ah! Lady Chiyo! I suddenly remember Tobirama!

"Then? How about the other one?" Kakashi asked.

"Sasori of the Sand. Just like Kankuro, he's a puppeteer but on a high level. Listen, his every puppets has a poison on them and I think it's the same poison that Kankuro has received." I can't tell them that Sasori itself is the puppet. Where's the fun?! "Now, on how to counter them. If we're able to separate them then that's good. Sakura and Lady Chiyo will face Sasori - why? Lady Chiyo is also a puppeteer and an elite ninja of the Sand. Sakura has a monstrous strength inside her. They can counter Sasori using physical attacks and Puppet manipulation." Well, in Lady Chiyo's case she'll be using Sakura as her human puppet since Sasori will destroy hers.

"Now, Deidara of Iwagakure. His detonation clay was basically an Earth nature. The only nature that can counter Earth is Lightning. Kakashi-san has lightning chakra nature. Kakashi-san and Naruto will engage themselves to Deidara but there's a problem." I gulped.

"What is it, Kashina?" Kakashi asked.

"There's a high possibility of Deidara as a Long Range attacker." If I only had snipper with me that bird will be dead soon. Shall I personalize a gun? But I don't know how to make it! There's no internet here to search! T^T.

"That'll be troublesome, youngster. So, what's your plan?" Lady Chiyo asked me.

"Honestly, I can't think of anything. I'm a short range and mid-range attacker but I'll back up Naruto and Kakashi-san." Team Guy won't be joining us since they're going to battle their clones. It a special trap for unsealing the

"But..." I uttered. I caught everyone's attention. "There's a high possibility that... that Gaara's already dead." I need to fuel Naruto's rage for him to be identified by Sasori and Deidara. Itachi will be giving them a tip about Naruto.

"What the fuck are you talking about, Kashina-chan?!" Naruto yelled at me but I just deadpan on him. He's so idiot but idiots are trustworthy people.

"She's right. As soon as they extracted the beast inside Gaara... he'll die." Lady Chiyo told everyone. Sakura's tears dripped on her cheeks while Naruto was frustrated and on the verge of crying.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE WAITING FOR?!" He yelled again. "Kakashi-sensei!!!!"

"Naruto, calm down." I told him but he didn't listen.

"CALM DOWN MY ASS!! YOU JUST SAID THAT GAARA IS PROBABLY DEAD BY NOW OR TOMORROW!! HOW COME YOU EXPECTED ME TO CALM DOWN!!"

I stood up and flashed in front of him to grab his collar. Sometimes his idiocy drives my anger too much.

"Now fucker, can you tell me what are you going to do with your anger? Can you defeat those punks that even Gaara can't?" I told him darkly. "Can you? No, you'll get us killed because you will let your emotions to take over you." And then everyone went in silence. No one dared to speak up so I let go of Naruto's collar since he's now reflecting.

"Don't you fucking dare to shout on me again. If you're worried about Gaara, I am too. He's my friend and I made a promise on Kankuro to bring him back. Shout on me again Naruto, I'll kill you, right here, right in front of everyone." I threaten him he just nodded and apologize for acting like that. I didn't mean that threat, I just want him to calm down and use his rage against Deidara and not on me.

"Ne, Kashina, what do you mean Gaara will die if the beast inside him extracted?" Sakura asked after I adjusted my seat beside Kakashi. Naruto's calmed now. He's listening.

"You're aware that Naruto and Gaara has a tailed beast inside them, right? Those beast are like humans. They're not actually a beast, they have feelings like us, they can understand like us. After all, they're superior than us. It's just humans are foolish. Power maniac and ridiculous." I told them with a hint of anger on my voice.

"What do you mean, Kashina-chan?" Naruto asked.

"Since those so-called beast but they're not, is sealed within you, your life energy will connect to theirs as soon as the seal was performed, got that? Meaning, if they extracted them out of your body you'll die because of Life energy loss. You live because of Life Energy, they live inside you because you live. The only one who will die after extraction is you, the vessel. Mere humans can't kill them even if you possess Sharingan, Byakugan or even the legendary Rinnegan. For them, we're like a bugs but with intelligence that's why the only way to counter them and put them in track was to seal them." I spout in bitterness. I'm aware that Kurama's listening now because I felt Naruto and Kurama chakra's sudden disruption.

"You know a lot, youngster. And it seems like you care about the Tailed Beast." Lady Chiyo muttered when she recover herself from being shocked.

"Nah, it's just I care about them." After all, it's the humanity's fault why Kurama and his brothers and sisters became wild. They did nothing but to live and wait for the right time but humans pester their peaceful life. Even I will surely cause havoc if someone pester me like that.

"Naruto and the other jinchuriki didn't choose to become one. That also applies to them, they didn't want to be in cage. They need freedom... away from hatred and pain that humans have caused. But what done is done, I don't know why Akatsuki's targeting the jinchuriki and their tailed beast. But one thing is only clear for now, either we get killed or we kill." And that made everyone shut up.

The only thing that we could hear was the breeze of the wind that is slamming on us. No one dared to speak up after my statement. Naruto's eccentric and bizarre attitude was replaced by his silence. Sakura and Lady Chiyo didn't also dare to speak up while Kakashi's just looking at me, seriously. He probably didn't expect me to talk like that. They didn't expect that I care for those Tailed Beast that they've been feared since forever.

Maa, I'll leave the reflection to them.

"Take a nap, I'll watch." Is the all I can stay to break the silence before jumping on the branch of tree to widen my senses.

Team Guy is probably dispatched yesterday and will arrive later before afternoon or noon. We continued to trail Sasori's scent after everyone has taken their power naps. I only ate my disgusting food pill which causes me throw up, that's not so cool. My head's still aching because of my hang over. This is usually normal for me since my hang over love me so much and will stay with me for the whole week.

Sakura healed me earlier but that wasn't enough. Ah, nevermind anymore.

"Kakashi-san." I called Kakashi while still proceeding to jump branch by branch. "Team Guy has entered my 1 KM range. Can you summon Pakkun to notify them about our direction?" I told him before turning my sensor off. It has eaten my 1/8 Chakra.

Were still far from the enemy but any moment by now, Itachi and Kisame will appear in front of Team Kakashi and Team Guy to delay our arrival. They're still not yet done on sealing Shukaku. Any moment from now...

"Halt!" Kakashi shouted when Itachi's figure appeared in front of us. "You're... Uchiha Itachi!" Naruto shouted. I facepalmed. He's starting again. Ah, I don't care anymore.

"Oho, Uchiha, huh? It's been a while since I last faced an Uchiha." Lady Chiyo laughed a bit.

"Sakura, Naruto, Lady Chiyo... leave this to us for a while. Stay back for a moment." Kakashi told them so they backed away. "Kashina, prepare for our counterattack." And then he charged into him using his Taijutsu.

Hmm. This isn't actually Itachi. He's someone from the Sand. We just need to deplete Itachi's Chakra out of this punks body. Besides, Naruto's Odama Rasengan will do it. I just need to prolong the fight. Okay, everyone's fine. We can do it.

I casted to counter his Fire ball technique on Kakashi. "Oi Kakashi-niisan, don't charge recklessly. You can't counter his genjutsu." Only I, the chosen fighter from heaven can do the deed! Yeah, poetic.

Kakashi casted to lessen Itachi's eyesight. I now widen my senses and Naruto's already under Itachi's Itachi's genjutsu.

I wield my blade and immediately went to Itachi's face. I'll buy some time for Naruto. Any moments from now, he'll ask Sakura and Lady Chiyo to pour chakra on him to disrupt his chakra system.

"So, Kisame already went to pester Team Guy, huh?" I whispered to Itachi when the blade of his Kunai and my Shiui met. "Yeah" he answered back.

Since I have advantage in mid-air, I kicked his chest so he can let go of my blade. I jump backwards and casted And that made everything clear like a crystal.

Naruto already break Itachi's genjutsu on him and finally, he weaved his seals for Odama Rasengan and charged in front of Itachi. Only I and Naruto noticed Itachi's genuine smile. That made Naruto wonder why the hell Uchiha Itachi smiled like that on him.

After that, Pain's jutsu has broken. It reveals the sacrificial body now and is the Sand traitor.

"I knew it, I've been feeling weird about him." Kakashi mumbled. I sighed. Lady Chiyo summoned her bird and her scroll to notify everyone that this Sand ninja was a traitor and now dead. Team Guy also defeated Kisame by now using Guy's Asakujaku! Kyaaa! That's so cool!

"Kakashi-san, Team Guy has finally entered my 1 KM range again. Summon pakkun, now!" Well, we need them ASAP. I already pinpointed Deidara and Sasori's location on the border.

Kakashi weave a sign to summon my Pakkun. "Yo, Kakashi." His low and annoying voice made my eyes turned into hearts! Kyaa! So cute! But! I have no time to worship his cuteness. Gaara's probably dead by now or in the verge of completing the sealing process.

"Pakkun, tell Guy to follow as soon as possible. We've pinpointed the enemy's location. Tell them to come ASAP before poofing away." I told pakkun before he made his way towards to Guy's direction.

My, my. The troublesome part will happen after we reach the border.

"Enemy's location ahead. 400 M" I reminded everyone to alert themselves and they did. Team Guy's already at 200 M behind us. "Drop... NOW!!" Kakashi told us before jumping to the river and be greeted by the infamous large boulder and has the infamous Five Seal Barrier on it.

I immediately flashed on Naruto to grab the back of his collar to stop him from advancing. "Bro, stop. We don't know if they put a trap for us or what." I told him coldly.

"B-but Kashina-chan... Gaara..." Shit! He's crying. Damn.

I swallowed so hard to not to cause havoc. "Bro, we feel the same but don't be reckless." I told him before facing Kakashi. Team Guy has finally arrive. Guy-sensei, Lee, Tenten and Neji. I'm a bit jealous since there's a scene where Neji catches Tenten from falling because they just got out of Kisame's water prison. Hmp! I don't care, It's not what important.

"Is that a Five Seal Barrier?" I asked Lady Chiyo and Kakashi.

"Yeah, I suppose so." Lady Chiyo answered after inspecting the barrier.

"What's that?" Naruto asked.

I sighed. "Listen, This technique creates a barrier around a place by placing five forbidden tags in different locations surrounding the place to be protected. The tags are placed on flat surfaces, and are connected with the user's chakra. To cancel this, it is necessary to search for the four tags and tear them off simultaneously. Meaning there must be at least five people on a team to cancel it." I explain to everyone. They just nodded before looking back at the boulder.

"Ne, Neji! What do you see?!" Naruto pester Neji when he activated his byakugan to check the insides but I know it's blurry and the only thing he could see was their silhouette and Gedo Mazo or the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

"Deactivate your eyes, Neji. It's protected and it will cause you headache." I told him coldly, still feeling jealous. Damn! What's on me?! Neji noticed the coldness in my voice so he raised his brows on me but I didn't flinch.

"What's your plan?" Kakashi asked. I smirked on him when I saw him smirking on me. He probably knew that I've already formulated a plan.

"To remove this, we'll leave the search of tags to Neji. He can do this and I'm sure those tags wasn't that away but... this is a reminder, removing Five Seal Barrier may be critical... you may encounter traps but you guys can handle this. Sakura on the other hand will handle the fifth tag in front of us. Remember, you guys need to tear them off simultaneously." I told them and then Kakashi brought out his radio and earpiece and gave them to them.

Neji activated his byakugan and started to search for the other tags. I'm always amaze on how his veins popped around his eyes. It's so cool. Hyuuga's so cool!

"Stop starring." He told me when he notice my stares. I didn't say anything and just stayed stoic before averting my eyes away. "I found the four tags. We'll be going now." He announces.

I was about to turn my back when he grabbed my elbow. "I said I'm going now." Is he mad?!

"Then go?" I asked him. He massages his temple probably to convince himself to prolong his patience. "We'll talk later." He mouthed before disappearing with the others. Huh?! What is he talking about?

"What the fuck was that, Kashina-chan?" Naruto asked with hint of curiosity. Sakura just throw her meaningful but annoying glare on me while Kakashi just sweat drop.

"Are you and Neji..."

"What are you talking about?" I deadpanned. "Focus Sakura, after you remove the tag proceed immediately on infusing chakra on your fist to destroy the boulder." I said coldly.

After Kakashi and Sakura received a word about them being steady, Sakura immediately notify them to proceed from peeling the tag and they successfully removed that shit. From this moment, Guy and the other's will be facing their clones. I don't have to worry about them since they can pull something about that. I need to worry about Gaara and Naruto.

"CHANNARO!!" Then Sakura punched the boulder so hard and revealed the insides which is Deidara and Sasori. The demonic statue is gone and Gaara's bodies laying down the ground, dead and Deidara the explorer sitting on Gaara's dead top.

Arara, meet my little brother. Uzumaki the fucking angry Naruto. Nice to meet you, Sasori of The sand and Deidara of Iwagakure.
