Rock Lee and Gaara stood before Deidara, each Shinobi staring into the others eyes. It was a standoff, one waiting for the other to move. Wind blew into the area, picking up light objects.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to fight anyone but the Kazekage. I didn't think anyone would be crazy enough to oppose me but him." Deidara said, standing tall on his C2 Dragon.

"You won't have your way." Gaara declared, lifting his arms into the air. "It's all over for you."

"He's right." Rock Lee smirked. "We've got you numbered."

Deidara grinned madly and he held up a seal. "We'll just see about that!" In rapid succession, C2 Dragon bombs launched out of the larger one's mouth, aiming to kill.

Rock Lee leaped out of the way before Gaara's sand came up to grab ahold of the bombs. Slightly above him, Deidara felt a shift of the wind and when he turned he saw Rock Lee who had green sparks flowing off him.

'Third Gate—Gate of Life: Open!'

Chakra pulses out of him wildly, in every direction. With a roaring yell, his face turns red and veins start protruding out of his forehead when his hairs sticks up.

"Die!" Deidara yells, launching small balls that explode the instant they reach Rock Lee.

"That won't work!" Rock Lee yells, launching himself out of the smoke at Deidara as if he were a rocket. His eyes widen at the speed and he tries to turn his C2 Dragon around but is surprised when sand wraps around it out of nowhere.

"What?" He mutters.

Below him, Gaara's holding an arm up in his direction. "You won't be going anywhere!"

Before he could react, a fist slams into his face and sends the mercenary ninja flying on the fist of Rock Lee. Lee went to slam his other fist into Deidara's gut but when it went through his stomach, he didn't expect it. He looked on in shock as the man turned white and he finally noticed that the man wasn't, well, a man.

But it was too late.

Deidara broke free from his C2 Dragon meters away with a smile before holding up a seal. "Begone!" The sky lit up when a large explosion sounded through the night sky.

Gaara looked on in shock before regaining his senses and clasping his hands together.

'Shukaku Hands!'

A hand even larger than the ones he could make by himself wrapped around the Dragon, it's black claws at the end digging into its sides. Deidara paid it no mind, leaping off the Dragon and releasing a small clay bird before it erupted into a big one.

But before it could even reach, Gaara could only see a black blur slam into it and he was forced to shut his eyes when wind blasted into his face from the impact.

It was Rock Lee in all his might, a little scratched up but otherwise fine from taking the full brunt of the explosion. "Don't count me out!"

Gaara smirked before tightening his hand into a fist.

'Sand Burial!'

His enhanced sand that was wrapped around the dragon squeezed until it was forced to desummon itself, blowing up in a puff of smoke. He was going to make sure to limit how he could attack.

Deidara was furious as he swerved past the smoke on another Clay Bird. Rock Lee was making up for Gaara's speed that he had been exploiting and it was making him sick. He was surely going to beat Gaara had he not stepped in. It was like fighting that damn Uchiha all over again.

Gaara wondered what his next move would be as he swerved past the smoke, gritting his teeth. He held up his hand and several tendrils of sand shot at the explosion user. He wasn't going to let him catch a break.
