what am i now? (sasuke love story) 40

naruto: as soon as sakura is done with that, let's get going!
kakashi: naruto, hold on abit... um... excuse me, there is something i would like to ask. what came of the pursuit of akatsuki after that? kankuro went alone after them. there were no others... then have we completely lost them?
baki: yes we have....
kakashi: hmm... well, could you please guide me to where kankuro-kun was fighting? though i might not seem it, i aman expert at pursuit... even if a small amount of their scent is left behind...
kankuro: that's not necessary.... there were two enemies... one abducted gaara... you should follow that scent. even assuming they split up, the other caught a bit of their clothing on karasu's [yuki: the puppet's]hand
kakashi: making a success from a failure... you are indeed a shinobi from the sand.
temari: kankuro, are you ok?!
kankuro: yeah... i'm feeling a bit better than before
naruto: hiya
old woman: kankuro... are you absolutely sure that one of the two you followed was sasori?
kankuro: chiyo-baasama and ebizou-jiisama?! [baasama/jiisama: both used to elders]
ebizou: what about that... kankuro
kankuro: yeah... it was sasori of the red sand... he even said it himself.
emiko: sasori? hm... can we hear more of this?
sakura: *giving kankuro the antidote* drink it all up.... i believe you'll be fine now. now until the paralysis ends, please don't move. please get some rest.
naruto: right! let's hurry!
...
kankuro: uzumaki naruto...
naruto: hm...
kankuro: please... save my brother.
naruto: .... leave it to me. because i will be hokage someday too! so i'll secure an advance favor from the kazekage.
~later~
nin: if you wait a bit... we can get skilled ninja.
kakashi: really?
temari: i'm going too
chiyo: temari, stay here and work on the defense of the country border. from the shinobi of the sand, i am more than enough
temari: but chiyo-baasama!
nin: but that would be too much for you...
chiyo: now don't treat me like an old woman. *jumps off*
naruto: she jumpped!
chiyo: *landed*
naruto/sakura: wha!
emiko: *being ignored as if she wasn't even there*
chiyo: i've wanted to give my grandson some love for a while
emiko: grandson...

emiko: *senses something* damn....
sakura: what is it?
emiko: tami....
sakura: who?
kakashi: hold on....
chiyo: itachi... ho... this is the child that killed his whole family?
itachi: it has been a while... kakashi-san, naruto-kun, emiko-chan.
emiko: *stares* where's this "student" of yours?
sakura: student?
kakashi: don't look into his eyes! it's dangerous.
sakura: then what should we do?
emiko: *grabs headband* *ties it around her eyes* you guys better judge from his feet and hands. it's genjutsu i'm guessing....
chiyo: there are many tactics to fight the sharingan.
naruto: what do we do?
???: surely you should know.

tami: yes itachi-sensei.... i would like to fight emiko by myself, itachi-sensei.
itachi: *nods*
emiko: *smirks* let her have it her way.
kakashi: are you sure?
emiko: positive

tami: eh?! she got her blood on me!
huge explosion
emiko: *covers self*
tami: *rolls on the ground*
emiko: ... is she dead?
tami: *coughs up blood* *tries to get up*
emiko: ...
tami: what are you doing just standing there?! you can just kill me now!
emiko: i'm nothing like you. i will never be like you.
tami: *laughs* such a pity...
emiko: ! *backs away*
tami: *POOF*
real tami: like i would be that easy to defeat.
~BOOM~
emiko: if that itachi's a fake... then... *eyes widen* hmph. all i needed to do was this... *punches tami*
tami: GAH! *hits the rock* *falls* seems you're getting better at this onii-chan... *falls on the ground*
sakura: onii-chan?!
emiko: ... then where is the real one?
~tami~
tami: GAH! *falls on back* that's tiring....
itachi: so you're also out of chakra...
tami: yep. *sighs* that didn't do any good.
itachi: ....
kisame: well... we did give 30% of our chakra to the "sacrifices" after all... althoughit is a useful jutsu which dupilicates of us, our strength and avaliable jutsu are proportionally limited by the chakra we hand over, which wasn't that much anyway.
tami: ....
kisame: ?
tami: do you have to turn everything into a lesson?
kisame: )( *about to attack tami with his sword*
tami: ! *backs away* BE CAREFUL WITH THAT THING!
itachi: ....
kisame: i'll teach you some manners!
tami: *growls*
itachi: quiet.
tami: yes, itachi-sensei.
~emiko~
chiyo: well, they got us... i guess that means the real one is at the hideout...
kakashi: so this guy's purpose was to slow us down and collect information... that's quite a jutsu they have.
chiyo: that's about right. this was obviously meant to buy time. without a doubt, they're extracting the bijuu as we speak! [bijuu: tailed beast] with the ichibi, shukaku, they are most likely intend to make a new jinchuuriki [ichibi: one tailed]
kakashi: it seems we don't have time to spare. if we don't save gaara-kun quickly, he'll...
chiyo: yeah.
sakura: jinchuuriki?
emiko: the bijuuare creatures with unimmaginable powers.no nation would want to use them as weapons. in other words... it's someone who "controls" that power, so to speak.
sakura: but before... you said that no one had been able to use that power.
chiyo: for all intents and purposes she meant. but that never stopped people from trying to bring it under their control in the past by sealing the bijuu in people, that is.
emiko: just like gaara.
chiyo: that's right. and he became known as a jinchuuriki. through suna's history up until now, there have been 3 jinchuuriki, including gaara.
sakura: ... and with those jinchuuriki, people have made war over and over, right?
chiyo: exactly.
sakura: then, those made into jinchuuriki....! .... the bijuu... how do you attract it?
chiyo: it requires a fuuin jutsu [sealing technique] capable of producing an effect that matches the power of the bijuu, if only momentarily... that, and a greatdeal of time. however, doing that means the jinchuuriki will...
sakura: you don't mean...
chiyo: yes. the jinchuuriki whos bijuu is drawn out will die. the other 2 i mentionedjust now... the other two jinchuuriki besides gaara, eventually had shukaku drawn out, and died as a result.
sakura: *tearing up*
naruto: you're always made to cry sakura-chan. don't worry, 'cuz i'll save gaara.
sakura: I'm... naruto... it's you that-!
kakashi: we better hurry.
~later on~
kakashi: we rested long enough.
chiyo: yes....
