'Ｆａｋｅｒ 偽り者 ' {Naruto Various}

' 16 '

Decision made, (Y/n) would have to stay put and try and slip out whenever he could to not have Sasori bring him up into a conversation.

"Sakura, you don't have to worry about me. I may be old, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve" Grandma Chiyo informed proudly as Sakura took a few hesitant steps away from her to not be in the way. "Boy, are you just going to stand there?"

(Y/n) kept quiet as his body turned into a mist, "I can't stay, I'm going to check on Might Guy's team" He lied as he fully disappeared into the mist.

He'd fight another day with the Akatsuki, but he won't fight them infront of anyone of the Leaf or with relations to them.

"(Y/n)?! what do you mean?!" Sakura turned back to see him gone, "Don't tell me the boy really left?!" Grandma Chiyo asked as Sakura slowly nodded, "I can't pick up his chakra anywhere nearby. . . that means he really did leave"

"Don't mind him now! our opponent is before us, Sasori was the best puppeteer in the Hidden Sand before he betrayed us and left" Grandma Chiyo gritted.

(Y/n) simply stood behind the arc, arms acrossed as he leaned against the red wooden work, listening in to the battle.

🎋

The cave had collapsed and things were getting messy now, Sasori had summoned a hundred puppets and a lot was going on for (Y/n) to keep up completly.

Grandma Chiyo also summoned in some puppets that demolished most of Sasori's while Sakura was fighting for the 2nd time Sasori.

He had concluded that he'd jump in when Sakura and Grandma Chiyo couldn't continue, and it seemed like that time would've been arriving soon.

That is until Sasori got his core impaled by his parent's sword, (Y/n) sat up a bit as he watched Sasori praise Sakura and his grandmother as he slowly fell dead.

Grandma Chiyo collapsed to her knees due to the poison, "We must get you back to the hidden sand for an antidote! Where's (Y/n)?!" Sakura worried as she tried to get her up.

". . . . Here" (Y/n) got up as he walked over to Chiyo and knelt down to her level, unwrapping his bandages, "Give me a second to write the symbols, keep her awake Saku-"

"No, I still have yet to finish my tasks and (Y/n)'s method is too dangerous. I've consumed too much poison, if he were to try and get it out then he himself will die along side me" She got up shakingly, "Let's go get the Kazekage"

Sakura turned to look at (Y/n) desperately, "(Y/n). . . "

He couldn't say anything, "Sakura, I'm going to ask you something that. . . you might now like"

He brought his hand to his mouth and bit his thumb, drawing blood, "I can save her, but for the cost of my own life most likely. And if I do die, I have some wishes before I do" Sakura quickly shook her head, "No! We-. . . I'll take her to Gaara then straight to the sand village! you. . . you won't die, she'll make it" Sakura started walking with Grand Chiyo to go find Naruto and the others.

(Y/n) watched from behind as he turned to see Sasori's corpse. His eyes softened at his former friend,

to which hated his guts when he first got to the Akatsuki,

to then grow on him all in a night.

As he walked over, he knelt down and ran his bloodied thumb down Sasori's chin. Watching as a ghost like apparition started to fly out of Sasori's body, it slowly opened it's eyes to see (Y/n) standing before him.

". . . (Y/n)?" Sasori asked confused as he looked down at his hands, seeing them to be transparent and slightly faded. "I- I thought I died-" He stuttered out a bit as his eyes were blown wide.
