Powerful Kunoichi

Return of the Kazekage

** - Thoughts

Deidara jumped from out of the ground

Deidara - Gimme a break I wouldn't have thought that my Self-Destructing Clone would be eaten away too. Then again, I managed to flee because that acted as a diversion. What I lost was only up to about my elbow. I must search for my right arm and ring

Zetsu and Tobi went back to the cave and saw Sasori's body

Black Zetsu - So this is Sasori's true form, huh?

Tobi - Here it is! Zetsu, here it is! I wonder if I can now become a member of the Akatsuki One slot has opened up after all

Black Zetsu - You idiot It ain't that easy

White Zetsu - Oh come on, why don't you just let him join Tobi's a great kid Let's go.

Tobi dropped the ring in between two rocks

Tobi - Give me a sec, Zetsu! I'm sure It's around here somewhere. Uh, hey, Zetsu! Wait, please! Zetsu

Baki ran to the entrance of the sand village 

Baki - How much longer?

Shinobi - They'll be in sight soon!

Within a few seconds Team Guy, Team Kakashi, Ebizo, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro and all the other shinobi came into view

Baki - Gaara

Temari - That's

Kankuro - Heh what a lavish welcome.

Naruto - Awesome!

Lee - There are so many people!

Neji - Just as would be expected for the Kazekage

TenTen - Yeah

Baki - I'm so glad you're safe

Gaara - It's thanks to everyone

Baki - Naruto Uzumaki, I am truly grateful!

Naruto - No, I I really wasn't able to do anything.

Baki - Lord Kazekage, the villagers are waiting for you. Right this way

Kankuro - Well, shall we go?

Baki - Wait. First You're right Let us pray that Granny Chiyo's soul rests in peace. A moment of silent prayer

Ebizo - Big Sister We're home

Kankuro - Huh, are you leaving already?

Temari - You should stay a little longer That's right. At least another day until you've rested up.

Naruto - I'd love to do that, but

Sakura - There's something I must report to my Master, the Hokage, immediately

Temari - I see

Kakashi - And if the Akatsuki have begun to attack villages, I feel uneasy being away from the Leaf Village too.

Baki - That's why you want to get back as soon as possible, right

Kakashi - Yes, that's exactly right.

Baki - But in that physical condition

Kakashi - Not to worry I have comrades I can rely on.

Guy - Yeah! Leave it to me!

Baki - By the way, we have already sent the first report out through Takamaru, but there's nothing written as to whether the two Akatsuki members are dead or alive Shouldn't you inform your village about it?
