** - Thoughts

Deidara - This is not good.

Deidara tried to escape but was enclosed in the sand

Kankuro - It's all over

Shinobi - Just what you'd expect from Lord Kazekage!

Shinobi #2 - Yeah. This village will be safe as long as we have Lord Kazekage!

Kankuro looked at the sand surrounding Deidara

Kankuro - Hold on

Deidara blew a whole in the sand and was able to escape before it could close back up. As he was falling to the ground the sand caught his foot and dragged him back to the sand prison. Before he was in the prison he threw a clay bird toward the sand it expanded and he rode on it to escape. The sand collapsed and followed him.

Deidara - This sand's such a pain in the neck.

Kankuro - You fool! Do you really think you can get away from Gaara's sand?!

Deidara flew around and dodged Gaara's sand

Baki and a couple more shinobi appeared behind Kankuro

Baki - Kankuro! Is Lord Gaara fighting right now?! Where is he?

Kankuro - Yeah. He's up there

Baki - Come On Gaara

Deidara was trying to avoid the sand but it caught his arm. He created a clay centipede and it surrounded the sand. It blew up but the sand didn't waiver

Gaara - Sand Coffin

The sand hardened around Deidara's arm

Citizen - He did it! He did it!

Citizen #2 - Yeah! Lord Kazekage is amazing!

Deidara was flying all around. When he disappeared behind a building he came out with the sand away from his arm.

Baki - Did he get away?!

Kankuro - That guy sure is lucky!

Deidara looked at his arm to see it was gone nothing was left but hlaf of the cloak's sleeve

Deidara - Not bad. I get it.

*Deidara - The sand he used to crush my hand is much faster and more powerful than ordinary sand taken from the desert According to our information He always carries with him a fixed amount of sand In other words, only that sand has been specially created with a large amount of Chakra built up inside That's the sand he uses for quick defense as well instant attacks. What did they call it again?*

Deidara realized sand was heading his way and avoided it

Deidara - I remember now! It's the "Ultimate Defense" That's the "Ultimate Defense" sand. In other words, the sand from that hole is what crushed my arm

*Deidara - I've only got a little bit of clay left I underestimated him. What you'd call "not prepared enough.*

Deidara - This is just as the good man Sasori said

Flashback

Sasori - Will that bag be enough? Our opponent possess the Jinchuriki host

End Flashback

*Deidara - I've only enough left for one more homing-type and my specialty as well. I think I'll destroy this village, after all.*

Deidara created a way larger clay bird and dropped it letting it hurl towards the village

Sasori - For crying out loud How long is that Deidara going to make me wait? I told him I don't like waiting

CeCe - If he fails I will retrieve the One Tail

Sasori - You need to save that jutsu till we get to the meeting point with the Jinchuriki or you won't have enough chakra to fight off any stragglers that try to go after us.

A shinobi was looking through binoculars at Gaara and Deidara

Shinobi - Lord Kazekage Black clothing and a red cloud pattern! Judging from that appearance, the enemy Lord Kazekage is fighting against is likely a member of the organization called the "Akatsuki.

Kankuro - I knew it.

Shinobi #2 - Kankuro

Kankuro - What is it?

Baki - Gaara's even using his "Ultimate Defense" sand in this fight. I think it's safe to assume the enemy is a formidable one. For the time being, we need to consider that Gaara could lose control. We need to be ready in case Shukaku appears. The villagers will be in danger.

Kankuro - That won't happen anymore. Gaara will not harm the people of this village. Never!

Flashback

Kankuro - Gaara, give it up. I don't want to say this, but you're nothing but a frightening weapon to the village It'll just be a struggle for you to join a regular unit at this point. The superiors don't think well of you. And a majority of the village is scared of you.

Gaara - I know that I've always known that but I will be overcome with an even greater suffering if I just wait around I just have to work hard and carve out a future for myself. And I must not run away from my path of solitude. If I do that, someday, someday I can be like him. So as a Sand Shinobi, I will strive to become the Kazekage. To live bonded with this village.

Kankuro - Gaara

Gaara - I want to work hard and be acknowledged by others. Naruto Uzumaki made me believe that Having bonds with others I only knew hate and malice up until now. But now, there's something I understand about those bonds. He went so far to tell me about. I understand that pain, sadness and happiness can be shared with others. Naruto Uzumaki I learned that through fighting and getting to know him. He knew of the same pain as me. And he taught me that I could change the path of my life. Someday, I want to feel needed by someone. Not as a frightening weapon but as the Kazekage of the Hidden Sand Village.

End of Flashback

*Kankuro - There are people who need you. You're the Kazekage of the Hidden Sand!*

Citizen - Lord Gaara!

Citizen #2 - Lord Kazekage! Hang in there!

Baki - Convene all members for an emergency meeting!

Shinobi - Yes, sir!

Baki - You secure the reservoir. Take two units with you!

Shinobi #2 - Yes, sir

Baki - Seal off the roads in sector A!

Shinobi #3 - Yes, sir!

Baki - We must not assume there's only one enemy! No matter what happens, maintain preparations for battle. We must be ready to respond! Medical Team! Set up a barrier and lead all villagers inside! Hurry! There must not be even one casualty! Is that clear?!

Everyone ran to their positions

Baki - We'll provide full support for Gaara, No, for Lord Kazekage!

Deidara - Interference from below really puts a damper on things. And besides I'm tired of looking at your expressionless face.

Deidara guided the clay and it expanded in mid air it hurled toward the village

Deidara - It's a doll molded from detonating clay that's got Chakra and clay eaten by my palm mixed together This specialty of mine has C3 Chakra, my most powerful Chakra, built up inside. The explosive power is an exquisite work of art that I'm very proud of!

Shinobi - What's that?

Shinobi #2 - Hey!

Shinobi #3 - Yeah, what the heck is it?

Baki - This is not good! Get back!

Deidara - You're too late.

As it was just above the village Deidara let it explode
