VOL. II--Chapter 9--Uzumaki Naruto

CHAPTER 9--Uzumaki Naruto

Why did it always have to be him? It seemed like all of the misfortune fell on Gaara. All of it. He was just like me when he grew up, but somehow while i found a few friends, he grew lonelier, and lonelier. He finally won the love and respect of the village and this has to happen to HIM?

Kurosaki and I stood looking stunned at Gaara. "N-Naruto, what-?" he murmured. Gaara stared to scream and claw at his chest. I started to walk forward. "Gaara, let us help you," I got in one foot of him, and I stopped and his head popped up. He wasn't there anymore. 

Tendrils of sand rose up around him and pushed him into the air. Then they started shooting at us. Not good. Kurosaki and I dodged as best we could, but they were WAY too fast. A deadly column of sand came straight at Kurosaki, and he raised his sword to take the hit, but he flew back the way we came in. "Gah, not again!" He yelled.

I took out a kunai and started slicing the tendrils as they came, but they just kept reforming. Not much time before they got smart and just took my knife away or got too hard to cut. I had to come up with a plan. 

Kurosaki jumped back in and immediately got buried in a ton of sand. "Nice job, Kurosaki!" I yelled, just ducking to avoid another two.

"Oh, shut up!" He said breaking free with a blast from his sword. 

Okay, the shard was obviously using Gaara to protect itself. Maybe if we were able to take it out, he would stop. 

"Kurosaki, we need to get that shard!"

"I KNOW that, but how?" He won't let us get close enough!" I thought for a minute, while dodging more sand of course. 

"Okay, I have a plan." I maneuvered over to whisper the plan. He nodded and jumped into the air. Then hurtled around Gaara and attacked from behind. As expected, most of the tendrils followed him and more formed to keep me at bay. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Twenty clones all planted bombs on the sand and detonated them. An opening. I sprang froward with a rasengan at the ready, but was knocked down by another tendril, or my clone was. 

While all of this amazing Nauto-ness was going on, Kurosaki launched a powerful Getsuga Tensho. The sand formed a shell, but I attacked with another rasengan at the same time. The real me did. 

Finally, a small crack formed. I hit it with another rasengan and a hole opened just enough for me to worm in, but it didn't work out like that.

I got in, but was immediately pushed back out. Gaara started to scream again. "N'Naruto, I; I can't- Ahhh!" He held his head, then went still. The left side of his body started to ripple and grow. It turned a sandy color, with purple veins crisscrossing the whole thing. It always freaked me out. No matter how many times I saw it. "Kurosaki came and stood next to me, "What...?"

"The shard released the Shukaku, the One Tailed beast." 

"Ah, I'm guessing that's not good."

It most definitely was not. I was a little out of plans at the moment, and if Kurosaki used his mask, he would set ME off.

"Looks like you two geniuses could use some extra man power," Shiroskai said.

"Yeah, are you willing, or just messing with us?" I asked.

 "Hm, if you die, I do to, so I gues-"

"Shirosaki!" We both yelled. 

"Fine," He drew his sword and immediately attacked. He swung it around by those bandage things Kuroskai and his evil twin always had around their swords. I had always wondered what those were for. Why didn't Kurosaki use such a good move?
