Chapter 62- Battle of Giants and Kyuubi vs. Shukaku?!

'Normal thought...'

"Kyuubi/Bijuu speech..."

'Bijuu thought...'

"Shukaku whispering things into Gaara's head...."

"Normal speech..."

Jutsu name...

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

Gaara inside the real, huge Shukaku-form laughed tauntingly at Naruko, who glared at him from on top of the head of Gamabunta. "Uzumaki Naruko... You continue to give me such pleasures... I'm so excited as I never was before~"

Sasuke gaped utterly surprised at the huge toad boss, Naruko summoned. 'Naruko... Wh-What in the world?!'

Naruko narrowed her eyes seriously. 'I have to beat him to protect my precious people! Looks like my training comes in handy here...'

"What is this?!" Gamabunta roared annoyed and then looked up to Naruko on his head in annoyance. "You again! What do you want, little girl?!" Just then, he spotted Shukaku, whose tail was wagging behind him in excitement. 'This is... Suna no Shukaku...' He looked up to Naruko again, slowly realizing why she summoned him.

"Gamabunta. Please join me in this fight. I can't beat this huge Shukaku alone, that's why I need your help to protect my precious people." Naruko told him seriously.

Gamabunta just stared nonchalant ahead and blew smoke from his pipe out of his mouth. "No way."

"Ehhh?!" Naruko shouted flabbergasted. "Why?~" She whined at him with a visible pout on her face. "Why don't you want to help your friend when she needs your help?!" She crossed her arms across her chest sulkily at that.

"Why would I go out of my way and fight a guy like that? That's just idiotic! Oh, and by the way... You didn't succeed in staying on my head long enough, and that means we are not friends. And we didn't even exchange cups of sake yet!"

"Waahh! You meanie!" Naruko shouted at him and tears gathered in her eyes at that. "I always saw you as my friend... and now you say that kind of thing!"

"Yeah, that's right, Pops! You can't be so mean to your friend!" Gamakichi told his father as he jumped onto Naruko's head.

"Huh? Pops?!" Naruko blinked in confusion, until she realized it. "Wait! Gamabunta is your father?!" She shouted in surprise and shock.

Gamabunta just sweatdropped at the exclaim of his son. "Why are you here, Gamakichi?!"

"I was bored...so I thought I come out for a visit." Gamakichi told his father seriously. "But that doesn't matter! This guy there tried to bully me!" He shouted and pointed at Shukaku.

"What was that?!" Gamabunta narrowed his eyes angrily at that.

"When that happened, this girl here came and saved me! She even protected me from one of his attacks! And then, she clashed with that guy, just to protect her friends. I would be glad if I could be one of her friends, she cares so much about. All in all... she's a pretty interesting girl." Gamakichi said to his father with a smile.
