Naruto was panting heavily, this guy was tough. Naruto couldn't rest for even second, if he did he'd find one Deidara's explosive bugs waiting for him or an explosive bird flying in his direction.

"What's a matter, can't handle the genius of my art?" Deidara mocked.

"No, just trying to keep the ugly crap from touching me, by the way you shouldn't stop to talk to your opponent," Naruto shot back.

Deidara was about to ask him what he meant but found himself avoiding a demon wind shuriken, "ha, is that the best you can do?"

Naruto smirked, "no, but this is."

The shuriken turned into a clone and kicked Deidara in the face, "an old trick of mine, not bad huh," Naruto laughed.

Deidara reached into his clay pouch, "you are so dead!"

Huyri had never fought a puppet master before and after watching lady Chiyo and Sasori go at it she was glad she hadn't. She had been trying to hit him with her Shark Bombs, with it resulting in him slicing it with his tail thing every time.

"You alright lady Chiyo? You're looking a little tired," she asked.

"We're just getting started little girl, you'd better keep up, I can't have you slowing me down, not against Sasori," Chiyo replied.

Huyri laughed, "I knew I liked you, I've got an idea, would be able to keep his front occupied so I can use something special on his back?"

Chiyo nodded, "of course."

Sasori was on the other end of the clearing preparing for an attack, "I don't know what you're talking about over there, but I promise you it won't work."

Chiyo didn't replied and sent her puppets after Sasori. He wasn't expecting the attack and it he narrowly blocked it. Unfortunately for him he didn't notice the water forming under his puppet until it was too late.

"Water Style: Rising Water Shark Jaws Jutsu," Huyri yelled, as the head of shark rose up and crushed the puppet master.

They both waited for the dust to clear. When it did they saw a young boy who looked to be about 16 standing there. "Well played grandmother, very well played indeed."

Chiyo looked shocked, "it looks like you haven't aged a day since you left the Sand."

Sasori smirked, "just keep fighting grandmother, if you live long enough you may come to understand how I've stayed so young."

The group other other ninja were traveling as fast as they possibly could to meet the others with Kakashi's summons leading the way. If Kakashi had to guess he'd say they were about 5 hours out, he really didn't like to think about leaving them hung to dry for that long.

"Do you really think they can handle those two," Sakura asked, fear very apparent in her voice.

Kakashi gave her his classic eye smile, "you should have more faith in Naruto, he's a good ninja. If anyone can hold those guys off its him."

Sakura smiled and sped up, she didn't intend to let Naruto get all the glory.

For the last 3 hours Naruto had been avoiding Deidara's various explosives, send a clone at him at every chance he got. Naruto knew Deidara's only had so much clay, and Naruto had more than enough chakra to outlast him.

Naruto sent a clone with a Rasengan at him, which Deidara barely dodged. He reached in his pouch and could feel he was running low on clay. He knew was out of options, it was time to bust out the big guns, "you've done pretty good kid, you've earned the honor of seeing one of my signature pieces," he said as he put some clay in his hands,"The C4 Dragon!" A massive burst of smoke erupted and Deidara was standing on top of a massive white dragon.
