The Silvernette wears Konoha's standard infantry clothing : a flak jacket, dark blue pants, and a long-sleeve shirt. He also wears finger-less gloves with metal plates on the backhand and is seen with a chain necklace underneath. This man is Kakashi Hatake son of Sakumo Hatake and known as Kakashi of the Sharingan. He is the team leader of Team Kakashi.

Next to him is Granny Chiyo, she was a retired counsellor of Sunagakure. She's also a famed puppeteer, the leader of Sunagakure's Puppet Brigade and a medical-nin. Chiyo is an elderly woman with black eyes and lavender coloured hair tied in a bun, in her fight with Sasori she let her hair loose. She wears the traditional Sunagakure outfit which consists of a dark coloured, loose fitting outfit with a poncho-like top. Next to the aged Puppet master is the pinknette medical-nin Sakura Haruno, the second student of Tsunade Senju. Sakura has fair skin, green eyes, and pink hair, Sakura's typical outfit consists of a red top with the same design as the upper-half of her Part I outfit. Accompanying this are black gloves, low-heel, knee-high boots, black shorts underneath a short grey apron skirt, and grey elbow protectors. The cloth of her forehead protector is changed to red and she starts carrying a medical pouch.

Next to Sakura is Naruto Uzumaki or Naruto Namikaze but only a few people knows this, he's the student of Jiraya and Jinchuriki of Kyuubi no Kitstune. He has blonde shaggy-looking style, spiky hair and blue eyes, while inheriting the shape of his father's eyes and face. His trademark characteristic are the three whisker markings on his cheeks. Naruto wears a dark blue forehead protector. a dark blue-grey robe with grey lining and a fur collar, and a tattered grey-blue cape emblazoned with his Clan personal emblem: a large red whirlpool.

Naruto wears red gauntlet, he wears black shinobi gloves, black anbu pants, he has his legs covered in wrapping papper, strapped to his back are six scrolls, and wears black shinobi pants.

In front of them is Deidara the mad bomber and Sasori of the Red Sand. Deidara is on his clay bird with an unconscious Gaara inside of the mouth Sasori is inside his Hiruko puppet, Hiruko has a long mechanical, scorpion-like tail (an allusion to Sasori's name meaning "scorpion"), extending from the mouth of what appeared to be a demon mask on its back. The tail worked as Hiruko's main offensive weapon and was laced with Sasori's speciality poison. The tail could also be used defensively by spinning around Hiruko's body at a rapid speed. Hiruko's left arm was also rigged with a projectile launcher capable of firing poisoned shrapnel and needles, and its mouth could also be used to serve a similar function of firing poisoned needles.

Deidara had slanted blue eyes and very long blond hair which he wore drawn into a half ponytail with the rest hanging down freely. The bang hanging over his left eye is what concealed his eye scope signifying that he was a long-range fighter After casting the Iwagakure Kinjutsu on himself, he developed a mouth on both of his palms, and on the left side of his chest he had a large, stitched-up mouth. He used this kinjutsu to supplement his Explosive Release to his clay. he wore their signature cloak, navy blue pants with matching shinobi sandals, and an Akatsuki ring on his right index finger, which bore the kanji for "blue or green" (青, ao) and was teal in colour. He also wore black nail polish on his fingers and toes. Under his cloak, he wore a V-neck, sleeveless, midriff shirt with mesh armour underneath it along with pants, stirrups, and sandals. He also wore a utility belt with two bags on either side, which he used to carry his clay.

Deidara smirked at Sasori "well well if it isn't Copy Cat Ninja Kakashi, Kyuubi Jinchuriki, and Granny Chiyo" stated Deidara he then looks at his opponents "You know we're not ordered to capture you Kyuubi Jinchurki' said a grinning Deidara.

But to Deidara's airy the Blonde shinobi ignores the blonde Akatsuki member Naruto's attention in more on the slump over Akatsuki member "hello Sasori-Masutā it's been along. Your partner is quite annoying." said Naruto in a cold voice avoid of any emotions. This caught his team, Chiyo, and Deidara by surprised from what they just heard right now Naruto called Sasori master. The only people who called someone master is those who have nothing but absolute respect.

Sasori nods his head he then gives out a small chuckle "right you are Deidara is quite annoying my student. have you completed that project you were working on?" asked Sasori looking at his blonde student.

Naruto nods his head "yes I have Sasori-Masutā. It's now ready for battle" stated Naruto "but I see you're using your favorite puppet" said Naruto with a half smirk.

Inside the Puppet Sasori smirks at his student "right you are after, all Hiruko is one of my favorite puppets" stated Sasori.

Out of everyone Sakura looks confuse "Naruto what's going on! What's he's talking about? Why did you just called him master?" yelled Sakura but it came out as an ordered but neither blonde or redhead pay much attention to her. Little girl stop yelling that yelling can become your very end" threaten Sasori.

Sakura step back in fear of what the S-rank shinobi might do she looks at Naruto excepting to see his happy go lucky expression but to her surprise Naruto was glaring at her with his blue eyes piercing into her green eyes. It almost felt like he was looking into her very soul, Sakura didn't understand. Before catching up with Sasori and Deidara Naruto was a happy, go lucky, knucklehead but this Naruto in front of her wasn't the Naruto she knew no this Naruto was cold, stoic, unreadable, and serious "Sakura shut up what Sasori-Masutā and I are talking about has nothing to do with you in any way so shut the fuck up and stop yelling" said Naruto in a cold tone. Naruto then remembers back when he first met Sasori his sensei/master/savior his first precious person to acknowledge him.

Flash Back- 9 years ago

Far away and outside of the walls of Konoha a seven year Naruto screams in pain as he roughly thrown on the hard cold ground. Before the young blonde can get up a metal pipe hits the young Jinchruki in the stomach causing Naruto to scream silently as he had the wind knocked out of him. Naruto breathes heavily trying to catch his breathe he looks at prosecutors with hate. Naruto grits his teeth in anger at the citizens and shinobi before him, who surround him. All of Naruto's young life he never understood why he was hated or why the people of Konoha hated scorn and hurt him, he tried asking his surrogate grandfather Hiruzen but the man wouldn't tell him. He would just say I couldn't hate them I should forgive them for hurting me. Naruto would never forgive the villagers who want him dead but Naruto's train of thought is interrupted when a shinobi hit's Naruto's back with an iron staff causing Naruto to scream in pain with fresh tears.

As Naruto cries in pain a large Akimichi walks up and roughly pulls Naruto's hair causing the small boy six year old to cry in pain the Akimich glares heatedly at the small blonde boy "Demons like you don't deserve happiness we'll make you pay" growled the Akimichi with his eyes full of age.

As Naruto continues to cry he looks frighten "b-but i'm not a demon" whimpered Naruto he then screams and kick his legs around as the Akimichi tightens his grip on Naruto's head in death like grip.

The Akimicho punches Naruto in the face breaking his nose, cracking his forehead, and fracturing his top jawline. "Shut up demon spawn you don't deserve mercy" growled the Akimichi.

An Uchiha steps up glaring at Naruto with her eyes burning red Sharingan eyes she then sneers in hatred at the helpless blonde boy. "because of gaki my clan is being supected for the destruction of the village and death of Yondaime" growled the female Uchiha she then glares darkly "and if I prove my clan is innocent, then I'll make you pay gaki" the female goes through hand signs " Fire Release: Lion King Pride (Katon:Raionkingupuraido)" yelled the uchiha she then fires 3 large spiraling fire balls hitting Naruto in the torso severely burning hus chest.

Naruto pants from exhaustion he then slowly gets up as he gets up Naruto breathes heavily he glares at the 30 citizen and shinobi. At seeing the blonde stand up to them angers them believing the Kyuubi who's been reincarnated into a human is mocking them. A female Aburame and female Inuzaka with a large dark- grey hyena glaring at Naruto. The female Inuzaka scoffs at this "so, the little fox still has some fight in him. Don't you agree Burakkuyūmoa (Sick Joke)" grinned the Inuzaka who's voiced is laced with a darkly tone that promise nothing but pain. The hyena cackles as the canine animal laughs darkly at Naruto.

The female Aburame smirks at the blonde child "Uzumaki you should be glad. With your death the innocent who had been killed by you demon will be at peaced" said the Aburame with a tone void of any emotions.

Naruto stares at the two female clan members with half open eye and the other one shut close. Naruto breathes hard sure the blonde has been beaten before but never had be been beaten with an inch of his life, he then glares at the citizen and villagers "I...don't 'pant' know...'pant' what...your 'cough' talking...about 'pant' I never...hurt 'breathes heavily' anyone...and I'm 'pant' not.. a 'pant' demon. And if 'pant' you think 'pant' I'm not gonna 'pant' beg... to you 'bastards' dattebayo!" breathed out Naruto his body starts wobble back in fourth most childen would've died a long time ago but not Naruto his stubbornness wouldn't allow the these people to get the satisfaction of him begging.

This angered everyone not liking the fact the jinchuriki won't beg pisses them. They'd full hardly suspected Naruto to beg to them to stop and end his suffering but here the the child was proving even in death he won't beg to anyone not them, not to death, and not god himself. Everyone grit their teeth in anger not pleased with the strong willed Naruto.

"Kill the brat" yelled a shinobi with a kunai raised up in the air.

"Make the demon brat suffer" yelled a female citizen.

"Avenge the Yondaime!" a shinboi.

The female Aburame and Inuzaka glared at him "find if you want to be stubborn Uzumaki then find. You'll die like a stubborn brat" growled Anurame. The Inuzaka and hyena glared at Naruto, Inuzaka get's on her hands and feet getting into a dog like stance both spins at a ferocious speed "Tsūga (Tunnelling Fang)" yelled the Inuzaka, they hit Naruto deliverling a devastating crushing blow Naruto screams out loud with blood coming out of his mouth. Naruto bounces off the grassy ground hard landing on his face.

As Naruto looks up seeing a red insect resembling that of a beetle and red fire ant, upon seeing the insect Naruto's ocean blue eyes open widely the last thing Naruto could say was shit before a large flame explosion went causing Naruto to fly back " Fire Relase: Burning Insect Explosion Bomb Technique (Katon: Konchū bakuhatsu bakudan bāningu Jutsu)" whispered the Aburame.

Naruto screams in horror at having his chest and face burnt just as Naruto believes his suffering is over Naruto's right shoulder is pierced by a pitch fork and right arm gets pierced by a spear. Fircing the young blonde to give silent screams but because of the extreme pain he's dealing with Naruto nearly blacks out from pain but before darkness can come to the blonde he cries agony as 20 citizen and ninjas start beating on Naruto's pinned down form.

While Naruto is getting the beating of his life Naruto eyes are void of life a shinobi walks over to Naruto with a spear raised aiming for Naruto's head. "With your death Yondaime will be avenge along with the rest of the people killed by you demon" yelled a man. Everyone behind cheers in excitement. Naruto closes his eyes awaiting death but before death can welcome the young blonde the man who was about to kill Naruto falls dead with a senbon lodge into his head everyone looks where the weapon was launch ready to make the person from stopping them kill the Jinchuriki.

As they look towards where the senbon was launch they see a hunch back man wearing a black cloak with red clouds, the hunch back man had a long mechanical, scorpion-like tail , extending from the mouth of what appeared to be a demon mask on its back. This man is Sasori of the Red Sand but unknown to everyone the person the villagers and shinobi are staring at is one of Sasori's favorite puppets Hiruko. At the suddenly arrival of the puppeteer shocked them not knowing who Sasori is a Jounin steps up glaring at the hunch back man "who the hell are you" demanded the jounin, but Sasori just stared coldly at him.

Your probably wondering what's Sasori doing in Konoha well one of his spies a boy named Kabuto had gave him information on Danzo, The Root, The Uchiha's secret plan to take over the village, and information on the Kyuubi Jinchuriki. After gaining the information needed he plan to leave but that stopped when he heard screaming in yelling catching his curiosity Sasori ventured out and he finds the Kyuubi Jinchuriki being tortured by the so, called good people of Konoha. Seeing this would've shocked the puppeteer but he knows the life of a jinchuriki is anything but a happy one. Even if the jinchuriki is a loyal ninja, protected the village, or even if a leader; the Jinchuriki will always suffer because of people's stupidity and ignorance of not being able to tell a human and Bijuu apart.

Even though Sasori has joined the Akatsuki and their goal is to captured the jinchuriki for peace. He knew his leader Pein would be angered by the death of the Kyuubi jinchuriki and having to wait for the Kyuubi to reform, he also knew if he allowed these people to kill Naruto Pein would kill him for allowing these idiots to kill Naruto. Sasori stares coldly at the Konoha people "who I am is none of your concern. " said Sasori in a deep voice void of any emotions.

At hearing the cold and emotionless voice of Sasori caused the citizens to back away in fear while the ninjas glared at Sasori for trying to stop them from their revenge. A foolish chunnin stepped up glaring at Sasori "if you stand in our way your next" growled the chunnin as he points his kunai at Sasori.

Sasori just made a tsk like sound "tsk fool your not even worth to be one of my collection" said Sasori at hearing the insult the chunnin charges at him not thinking the hunch man can kill hurt him but he get's surprised when he feels a pain in his chest. The chunnin cough out blood he looks down seeing the scorpion tail pierced through his chest Sasori then roughly throws the chunnin aside on the ground. Sasori turn his attention to the shinobi and villagers opens his mouth and raise left arm was also rigged with a projectile launcher capable of firing poisoned shrapnel and needles Sasori fires a barrage of poison needles, shrapnel, and senbon killing every single citizen and ninja with deadly poison. Just as Sasori was going to leave he hears a raspy cough thinking one of the people survived Sasori lifted the tail getting ready to poison the last person but to his shock he see's Naruto cough out blood he believed the Uzumaki had pass out due to the pain but no the child was keeping himself awake with strong will. Sasori walks over to the burnt Uzumaki staring down at him with his right arm he pulled out the pitch fork and wrapped his tail around the spear and pulled it out.

Naruto screams in pain he then looks up at Sasori with his emotionless blue eyes. When Sasori looked in the boys eyes he saw emptiness, determination,loneliness, hatred, and anger. Sasori then narrows his eyes at the blonde boy but the blonde boy's image change into a redhead with shaggy hair and brown eyes. Sasori widen his eyes seeing himself in Naruto the redhead man then decides to something he never thought he would with extreme care Sasori grabs his tail around the half dead Naruto and puts him on the back. Naruto then mutters thank you before darkness welcomes him. Hours later, Sasori and the still unconscious Naruto arrived in a cave he gently sets Naruto down on a bed trying not to harm the boy more as he is as he sets the boy down he places his right arm over the child's chest, his right arm gloves green "it's a good thing granny taught me the mystical palm jutsu" thought Sasori.

As the child heals, the boy's face heals from the burns but his torso barely heals while his torso did heal Naruto's chest severely burned. Once Sasori completely heals the child the blonde's breathing calm down no being steady. Sasori nods to himself pleased at healing the boy he then regrettably waits while the redhead man hates being kept waiting he knew he must wait for the boy to wake up to speak with him.

The next day Naruto wakes up with an intense headache and his body sore. Naruto looks around noticing he's not in the hospital but in a cave Naruto runs his hand through his blonde hair he looks around in confusing "where the heck am I" said Naruto thinking out loud.

Sasori walks next to Naruto shocking him he then calms down remembering this is the person who saved him"So you you're awake and it seems like you remember me from last night. Good that means I won't have to repeat myself, my name is Sasori this is my lair and I saved you from those fools" said Sasori.

Naruto nods his head "um, thank you Sasori. This is the first time someone has actually saved me" said Naruto.

Sasori nods his head figuring no one had been there for the child "now boy I'm about to ask you something" stated Sasori Naruto nods his head "I'd plan to have an apprentice someone to teach and I've chosen you to be my student and by doing so, you will have a purpose more greater than you ever known. Before that happens I want you to pledge yourself to me and only me" said Sasori gazing at Naruto.

Naruto bows his head to Sasori "I pledge myself to you and only you Sasori- Masutā" said Naruto.

Flashback End

Both Sasori and Naruto stare at each either with both of their cold gazes while the student and master were having a staring contest everyone can feel the strong tension within the air "Naruto it's time for your final test" said Sasori with his scorpion tail moving side it side.

Naruto nods his head he reaches behind his back and grabs a medium size orange scroll with the kanji for Jungle (ジャングル) everyone raised their eyebrows and narrows their eyes eyeing at the scroll Naruto pays no attention to them. He pours chakra into the scroll releasing what has been sealed in the scroll, a large cloud envelopes Naruto when the cloud clears up Naruto is standing in puppeteer like stance with chakra strings coming from his fingers in front of Naruto is a giant white tiger puppet; the puppet is 12'10 feet tall, the puppet has yellow eyes, sharp weapon-like fangs coated in poison. One the back of the puppet has an emblem of an orange fox, inside the mouth is a projectile launcher capable of fire over a hundred poison needles and senbon it also has a three functions which allows it to fire poison chakra needles, it can shot a long range of fire, and can shot a large poison gas killing it's victim. The claws are sharp blades laced with poison, poison paralysis, and toxic poison that disrupt someone's chakra control, on the left paw of the puppet the tiger has a seal that has the kani for strength (力), on the right it has a seal that has the kanji for steel (鋼), on the right back leg there's a seal that has the kanji Swift Release (迅遁), and on the left back leg there's a seal that has the kanji Acid Release (酸遁). The Tail is a long long mechanical tail coated with poison.

Sasori hums to himself eyeing the large Animal puppet he smirks within the puppet "I see you've perfected Saba" said Sasori with a hint of being proud.

Naruto nods his head "yes I have Masuta it took a long time but I've created a new type of puppet "Animal Puppet" and and new puppet style. I have combined two deadly ninja arts into one. With both Fuinjutsu and kugutsutsukaiI I have created a my own unique style unlike any other" stated Naruto "but now, Sasori-Masuta it's time to show you how far I've grown" said Naruto.

Sasori nods his head agreeing with Naruto he to wanted to see how far hist student have become and he wanted to see this new puppet in action he then turns towards Deidara "Deidara go ahead, I'll stay here and test my student" said Sasori in a tone "not to argue with me" Deidara nods his head.

He then commands his bird to fly up understanding this not going to a fight between enemies but a fight between master and student seeing how far the student have gone and if the student has finally surpassed the master. Deidara gives Sasori a salute he then smirks at Sasori "you got Sasori my man I suppose this might be the last time seeing you. It's fun to have you as a partner" said Deidara he then flies of heading towards the base to do the ritual of extracting the bijuu from Gaara.

Naruto performs the Kage Bunship no Jutsu a large cloud engulfs Naruto once the cloud clears up a second Naruto appears next to the original Naruto pulls out two sealing scrolls one that has the kanji for strength (力), while the other has the kanji for Metal (金属), Naruto slam his hand on the clone the sealing formula for the Uzumaki Clan spreads across his whole torso "Uzumaki Sealing Mehtind: Bonding of Blood and Water ( Uzumaki Shīringu hōhō: Chi to mizu no kizuna) clone you and Kakashi go after Deidara and rescue Gaara" ordered Naruto the clone runs after Deidara. Naruto turn his head seeing Kakashi had yet went after Deidara and has a stupid look on his face Naruto gains a tic mark "What the fuck are you still doing here Kakashi! Go after Deidara and rescue the Kazekage" ordered Naruto.

Kakashi get's of out stupor he then narrow his sole eye at Naruto "after this mission you have some explaining to do Naruto" said Kakashi he then runs after Deidara and the clone.

Naruto scoffs at Kakashi he then turn his gaze to Chiyo and Sakura "you two don't get involved. This between the two of us" said Naruto daring either one of them to try to get in the way of his and his sensei/master.

Sakura is shocked at hearing her knucklehead friend/teammate not wanting them to help. She still doesn't understand what's going on she doesn't believe Naruto can defeat Sasori alone. "What are you talking you can't fight him alone you don't stand a chance you baka!" yelled Sakura.

But she soon backed away seeing his glare harden "Sakura I won't tell you twice don't get involved. I'm not asking you, I'm telling you Haruno-." demanded Naruto as he let out killer intent.

Before Sakura can call his bluff Chiyo outs her hand on the young medic-nin" girl he's right this is a fight between Naruto and Sasori and knowing my grandson if you get involve Sasori will kill" warned Chiyo Sakura let's out a huff.

"Such an annoying brat now, let the final test begin Naruto" said Sasori Naruto nods his head.
