cat and mouse

John looked on as Gaara kept getting larger as the sand kept crawling onto his body, making him more and more monstrous by the second as that same crazed look seemed to grow just as much, if not more." John Doe You're mine now!", Gaara yelled as his hand that was covered in sand and made a claw struck the ground in front of him As if playing a game between cat and mouse John Naruto kept barely dodging the attacks Gaara sent at him

Although he couldn't afford to divert his attention, when he turned his head around for a brief moment he saw as Konoha ninja were fighting off sound ninja, and how otherwise the arena was empty. "I can't fight him here, it might spill into the village if this guy goes any crazier!", John muttered as he looked to his opponent and jumped back before tossing several kunai at him, although Gaaras sand soon intercepted them.

"It's useless John " Gaara yelled as he laughed in crazed excitement.

" no it just began " John grinned as Gaara looked to see what he meant: There were exploding tags wrapped around the kunai he had caught and the fire had reached the end. Before Gaara could cover it up, the notes exploded and caused Gaaras sand arm to weaken a bit as it took the brunt of the damage.

"Damn you Doe " Gaara cursed as his arm started to shift back into its proper place. "You will pay for that!".

John "Come and get me then!", he cheekily replied as he jumped up the wall of the stadium and started over it, leaving Gaara to chase after his prey.

Outside the stadium, Kurenai saw as her student left the arena with the red-headed sand ninja hot in pursuit. "What is John she yelled as Kakashi, taking down another sound ninja, caught onto his plan.

" John is going to lead Gaara away from here and the village so the fight doesn't cause any more damage then needed. It's also giving us a change to try to free that Suna girl that Gaara has pinned to the wall.", Kakashi said as they kept fighting off the various fodder that Oto had sent to try to take on Konohas finest.

"Shouldn't we try to pursue them?", Kurenai asked, concerned for her students well-being as any teacher should, and maybe a little more, considering their relationship after practice. "I wouldn't worry too much, Kurenai. Considering how he beat his other opponents and was trained by Jiraiya Me and you. I am sure that John can handle himself.", Kakashi replied as Kurenai reluctantly nodded. If anyone was going to be able to beat Gaara at this point, it was probably John

Right now, they needed to focus on fighting these invaders off and saving those in trouble, Temari included.

"Jiraiya, this is geting us no where!", Sarutobi yelled as he dodged another attack by the First Hokage. Any damage they seemed to inflict on the two risen and controlled former leaders seemed to heal itself right then and there, and the attacks of the two Hokage was just as firece as when they were in their prime. "I know that, old man! Yeesh, this is the worst fight I've been in for a while.", Jiraiya muttered at the end as he dodged the Second Hokages attacks.

Orochimaru simply watched with amusement as his teacher and old teammate kept fighting against two of the strongest ninjas that ever came from the village hidden in the leaves. "Oh you poor, poor fools. Even Sarutobi, as old as you are and a fool as you, Jiraiya... you must realize this is a hopeless fight!", Orochimaru laughed wickedly as he watched.

"There you go, shooting your mouh off again, Orochimaru!", Jiraya said as he jumped back. "You may think you have us beat, but I can see a cheap seal a mile away and your technique isn't as perfect as you think it is!".

That statement made Orochimaru chuckle as he looked at his previous teacher. "My my, Sarutobi, I think our dear Jiraiya has finally lost it. This is the perfect technique, any damage you do to them is healed almost instantly and I'm afraid it can't be said the same for you.", Orochimaru grinned as Sarutobi grunted. "It may be true that these bodies cannot be damaged, but tell me Jiraiya, what do you think?".

Jiraiya chuckled as he grinned. "Just give me a moment old man, I can have those destruction seals made in a blink of an eye and those seals binding the Hokage's souls will be broken as well.", Jiraiya said as he pulled out a long scroll and started writing on it as Sarutobi held off the First and Second for the time being.

"What!? I will not allow you to complete that!", Orochimaru hissed as he prepared to attack the Frog Sennin, but his plan was quickly thrown off course as Sarutobis own jutsu forced him back.

"And I will not allow you to continue to descerate the Hokage of the past, Orochimaru! I should have ended your existance long ago! But this time, I will not let my feeling get in the way of my duty as the protector and leader of Konohagakure!", Sarutobi said determinedly as he stared at Orochimaru with a harsh glare.

This fight was only getting started.
