Naruto took the sword in the hand of the puppet he was holding and stabbed himself in the torso. Naruto pulled the blade out and watched his blood slide down the tal as it mixed with the poison that began running off of the weapon. He tossed them all aside as he looked at Sasori, "That was the best attack that your puppets were going to get with those weapons and it's not even going to make stumble. You were the wrong person to co and fight ."
Naruto fell on all fours and began to build up air in his lungs. Sasori sent the puppets in to stab him all at once, no matter who he was, there was no way that he could shake off that kind of damage.
As they began to gather around him with their blades drawn to skewer him, Naruto let out a massive concussive roar that sent all of the remaining puppets flying away from him. All of those that were closest were broken apart by the raw power that Naruto's roar had pumped out at ground zero. The others were tossed aside haphazardly all over the place. So flew off into the distance, others flew sowhere within the mass of iron sand and were shattered upon high speed contact with the branches.
Naruto picked the pieces of what was once his shirt off of his shoulders and chest as he faced down what was his last obstacle, Sasori himself. The puppet-bodied man showed no intimidation at facing down the demonically charged teen, "I'm not done yet. Though I have to say, for a chunin you happen to be a tougher run-down that previously perceived. Itachi said that you were able to survive against him the first ti based off of pure misdirection and unconventional tactics."
Naruto chuckled in his gravelly voice, his vocal cords manipulated by the chakra running through him, "I've had almost an entire year to prepare since then. Itachi and Kisa actually matched up with . You don't. Why you were sent to deal with , I'll never know. And neither will you, since I'll just have to rip you apart just like I did with every other puppet you've thrown at today."
"It won't be nearly as easy as you believe it will be." Sasori lifted his palms and revealed pipes that spewed intense flas from them at Naruto who moved aside and started working angles to get at Sasori properly. As he approached from the back left, poles erged from the back of Sasori's hips with five blades attached that began spinning rapidly. Naruto diverted his attack to avoid getting pureed by the blades as Sasori took off at blinding speed to get so mobility going.
Naruto smirked, so now he wanted to move? He had been fighting the entire battle as stationary as he could and now he decides on dynamic movent once Naruto had it in him to see how many chunks he could tear Sasori into before he stopped functioning. He didn't know whether to be pissed off that Sasori could now move so quickly, or ecstatic that it wouldn't be that easy to pin him down and rip his head off.
Banking on the Kyuubi's ever growing presence in his person giving him these thoughts, Naruto began tearing across the ruined landscape in pursuit of his barely human foe.
XxX
(Sai and Hamako vs. Deidara)
The rising, towering tal structure off in the distance earlier didn't ease Hamako's worries about how Naruto was doing in his fight, but seeing as how they weren't currently being engaged by the man Naruto had been fighting they figured that he was still alive and kicking. Hamako had to admit, after seeing that, if she had remained with Naruto she would have been a liability. At least now he had a chance to only have to worry about himself. Besides, Sai seed to require the aid after seeing how heavily he was bandaged and knowing that he didn't look like that when he dropped her off he must have been injured pretty badly to require that. They had themselves to worry about for the ti being.
As they neared closer and closer to the triumvirate of towers that Naruto and Sai had found so much misery in on their first day in Uzu, they noticed that there were no more mines. Since they were getting closer to Deidara's position didn't that an there should have been more of them, and yet Komainu hadn't run over any in quite a while.
The pale boy looked over at the silver haired girl who didn't seem frightened at all about heading off to fight, "Aren't you at least a little unnerved about fighting this person. He's been giving and Naruto-senpai fits ever since he first showed up."
She turned to Sai, "Are you scared?"
Sai frowned, "I don't have feelings like that."
Hamako shook her head and started looking out at the path as they neared closer to the towers, "I'm not scared. I'm not even supposed to exist in this ti apparently, I should have died with everyone else, but I didn't and now I'm here. Why would I be afraid of dying in a battle that I'm not even supposed to be alive to fight in the first place? As long as I can help you and Naruto-sama then I'm okay with this."
Sai's eyes narrowed as they now stood between two of the towers, with the other destroyed one on the other side of the clashing rivers that made the whirlpool that gave the village its na. He was around here sowhere. There was no reason for him to leave, he had the complete advantage here. Deidara watched from his cover of rubble from across the river. Sai and so white haired girl were riding a statue, a giant walking statue! He couldn't have grinned any wider if Sai had painted a multicolored bullseye on his chest. He stuck out on that thing's shoulder like a sore thumb, and while he could see how it would have been useful when avoiding his sentries and land mines, now that he was here to actually take shots at Sai himself, it was naught but a hindrance, "If that's how this is going to go, then I can finish him without going through the rest of my clay, or even moving, un."
He rubbed his broken leg, jumping from a speeding bird in flight was not one of his most capital ideas. However the plus side, from the look of Sai, it certainly worked for him as he didn't really look much better off whatsoever. His hands spit out a wad of clay that he manipulated into three bird sculptures that he sent flying out at Sai and his newfound ally's pet statue.
Hamako saw the first one coming and pointed out at it, "Komainu-kun!" The statue swatted it out of the sky, in response it exploded on the arm of the golem. It was so close that Hamako could feel the heat from the blast on her entire body.
Sai saw that there were two more coming in from both sides of Komainu. Thinking fast, he moved over to the other shoulder and pulled Hamako off along with him just in ti for the two birds to collide with its head, taking it out.
Hamako gasped as she saw her favorite creation collapse, its head crumbling and falling off as it fell backwards. She turned to Sai anxiously, "Where is he? Those last two ca from nowhere and Komainu is gone. It took so long to make him..."
Sai kept her head down and kept her from looking back as they crawled along the ground. Hamako was the most mobile of the two of them, and that was not a good thing by any stretch of the imagination, "Hamako-san, what can you do to help us here?"
