Chapter 59- Hurry! We have to reach Sasuke before it's too late!

'Normal thought...'

"Kyuubi/Bijuu speech..."

'Kyuubi communicating with Naruko inside her head...'

"Normal speech..."

Jutsu name...

-----------------------------------------------------------

Pakkun noticed something and looked behind him. "The pursuers have stopped."

Naruko smiled cheerily at that while storming quickly forward. "See, I told you."

"Yes, you're right. It must be Shikamaru." Sakura said seriously and then looked to the ground for a split-second. 'I'm sorry that I doubted you a little bit...'

Naruko narrowed her eyes determined and concentrated on the mission ahead of them. 'Just wait, Sasuke-teme! And don't do something stupid. Tanuki guy... I have to stop calling him that, his name was Gaara I think, has to be really unstable because of getting injured... Just one wrong move and Shukaku is going to be set free and wreak havoc in Konoha. We have to prevent that at all cost!' She clenched her fist at that and sped up even more.

Sakura bit on her lip, while the three of them stormed as fast as possible through the forest. 'Sasuke-kun...'

A few minutes later...

Suddenly, an explosion like sound echoed through the woods.

Sakura stopped at that and turned around. "What were those sounds?"

Naruko landed next to her on a big tree branch and narrowed her eyes. "It sounded just like..."

"Explosions." Pakkun finished for her as he landed on Naruko's head. "They were most likely traps set up for Sasuke."

"Is Sasuke-kun okay?" Sakura asked in worry.

"Don't worry. The teme will not fall for such easy traps." Naruko assured her and narrowed her eyes. "But either way, we can't allow us to stop now, we have to hurry!" And with that she began to storm ahead, Sakura following after her.

'I hope you're right as always, Naru...' Pakkun thought seriously, still on Naruko's head.

After another couple of minutes passed and the group got deeper and deeper into the woods...

"Sasuke has stopped." Pakkun informed Sakura and Naruko seriously, as he was leading the group. "We have quite a distance to him, though."

"Not good." Naruko narrowed her eyes seriously. "How I know Sasuke-teme, he's not giving up until he can fight with Gaara again! Stupid men and their ego! Why is it so damn important to win against him, he has not even threatened anyone yet!" She shouted loudly in annoyance and huffed. Then, she gave up on being upset about that and sighed. "Anyway, let's just hurry, before the fight breakes out..."

Sakura and Pakkun nodded seriously and so, they stormed ahead again. Suddenly, Pakkun noticed something and stopped dead in his tracks. "This scent..."

Naruko stopped next to him. "Pakkun, what's wrong? Pursuers again?!" 'But I can't sense anyone behind us, though...' She thought confused.
