Return (Part-5)

''We must split the group, with Dark Wolf and Kakashi here. We are in trouble, Go and run, forget Ichibi, we can't get him right now anyway. Kakashi will definitely give you the chase", suggested the short man.

''Good idea, Sasori no Danna'' Then, Deidara proceeded to make a giant bird made of clay, and in a puff of smoke, the small sculpture he had created turned gigantic.

The bomber's action drew once again the attention of Kakashi's group.

''Hey, what do you assholes think you are doing?!'' Yelled Naruto in anger.

''If you want me, Then come and get me!'' Taunted the bomber.

The Kyuubi's influence on Naruto made his eyes go red.

Deidara didn't wait for Naruto to start charging him, so he promptly got on the bird's back and took off through the air and left the cave without giving anyone a chance to attack him.

''I won't let you get away after what you did to Gaara!'' Yelled the angry Naruto, and quickly gave chase to the mad bomber.

''Naruto, don't be reckless!'' Kakashi called after him. It's funny that he had expected Naruto to do something as stupid as this, ''I'll be going with them. Sakura, stay with Chiyo-Baasama to deal with the other one. Okami you stay here as well'' Commanded Kakashi.

Okami gently smiled.

Kakashi chased after Naruto.

"Hello, I am sure you don't know me, we have never met face to face after all"

"I know who you are", said Sakura

"Really?"

She nodded, "Yes, I have heard of you, everyone in Konoha did, You are Okami Senpai who single-handedly created an alliance between Kiri and Konoha... There are rumors that you are even stronger than the three Sannins", said Sakura with near worship like eyes.

"Let's get it started", said Chiyo as she took out a string with Kunais attached to it.

"Assault blade"

She threw all of them at once.

*Tink

*Tink

*Tink

*Tink

All of those Kunais got deflected off Sasori's body just like that. Sasori throws away the robe on his body.

"If you want to oppose me then I got no choice"

"That is--

"One of his puppets", Okami interrupted

"The boy is right Sakura, This is all but one of his many puppets"

"But where is his real body now"

"Don't puppeteers control them from behind? His real body is on the inside"

!!!

"Because they are open to attack when controlling the puppets, Puppeteers are weak in close combat. That's Sasori's favorite Puppet, It becomes Armor and it also becomes a weapon for him"

"Then what do we do?"

"We have to destroy that Puppet if we even hope to hurt him"

"But how do we do that?"

Granny Chiyo smiled as she pointed at distracted Okami, "Don't we have him"

"That's right, we still have him"

Sakura looked at Distracted Okami, "Senpai, will you please concentrate?"

Okami smiled, "I was watching Naruto's and Kakashi sensei's fight"

"I know you are worried about them bu--

"Oh, I am not worried about them"

"..."

"I am more interested in Kakashi sensei's technique... Very interested"

He has sensed it once. In Iwa, about 4 months ago. When he finally met the shadow controlling everything from the dark... and the one who kept calling himself Madara Uchiha. During their fight, the fake Madara Uchiha spiraled himself and disappeared just like Kakashi's technique right now. The chakra of both techniques is definitely one. there is no mistaking. However, that is possible.

"Senpai"

"Hm?"

"will you help in the fight"

"Nope", He giggled

"..."

"SENPAI", Tic mark appeared on her head as huffed.

He was outrightly ignoring her, He was far more interested in Kakashi sensei now.

'How in the world are you related to that guy sensei... Are you also one of the Akatsuki's member'

"We have no choice then, Let's go all out from here on out", Granny Chiyo said

"That would be far more reliable plan than this useless guy", she hmmed

Okami looked at her... and giggled.

"Are you done chitchatting? Or do I wait some more?", Sasori asked

Sakura and Chiyo took a stance, "Sakura, listen up, you have to get close to that puppet and smash it. But you will have to dodge all of the traps that he laid"

She nodded.

"Are you two finally done?"

"Hold your horses' young man, Girls take their time getting ready"

"..."

"Ready?"

Sakura nodded.

"Then run"

As they begin to run and charge towards him.

Sasori opened the puppet's mouth, and way too many Needles flew through it. Like an automatic machine gun.

Granny Chiyo gracefully took steps after steps, Dodging every single needle thrown at her. while also gracefully controlling sakura to flip and making her dodge.

While Okami, he just stood there, holding Gaara, and watching the fight.

Right now, Okami's mastery of wind is roughly unmatched in this world, the impacted area through the needles becomes gaseous, causing the attack to pass through him while leaving him unharmed before solidifying back into his original form... and the best thing is, he is not even poisoned by those needles.

The puppet's arm disassembled from the puppet, as it flew like a bullet.

Rotating, Countless Poisonous needles flew out of it like a machine gun in all directions...

Barely though, but Chiyo managed to dodge and control Sakura through her chakra threads for her to dodge it.

But that was it... Sakura was right in front of his tail, he could---

Granny Chiyo used her threads and the tail stopped moving.

"Why you old hag"

"BREAK IT"

"HAI"

Boooommmmmm

The punch was heavy enough to destroy the entire puppet into bits and pieces.

"No wonder it's that old hag, Her controlling is so good that even a brat like you could avoid my poison needles", came the voice from the dust cloud

"Furthermore, you even put those threads on the tail of my puppet."

"..."

"Impressive puppetry Grandma... but that's it"

When the dust cloud settled up, He was there with the Third Kazekage's Puppet.

"That is---

"DIE"

Third Kazekage's puppet flew towards Sakura. But Lady Chiyo pulled Sakura back.

But the Kazekage's puppet didn't stop, many weapons grow out of it, as it continues its assault.

"He's fast", the old lady said as she pulled back once more. But Kazekage's puppet managed to hurt Sakura, only for the tail of Sasori's puppet come in between them.

Okami smirked, while Sasori's eyes narrowed, This old lady sure is a good Puppeteer.

Third Kazekage's arm opened up and thousands of hands came to attack sakura all at once.

The attack was super fast and it's impossible to dodge it.

Chiyo pulled her threads once more and sakura fell on the ground in a weird position. But eventually ignoring all the hands somehow.

She pulled sakura off, but Third Kazekage's puppet blows the purple mist...

"Is it poison", thought Sakura, as the purple mist covered her entire body.

"Sakura", Old lady tried pulling her back, but the Kazekage's puppet bind her in the poison mist.

"No"

"I... can't die in a place like this", thought sakura as she took out the paper bomb.

!!!!

BOOOMMMMM

"Sakura", the old lady caught the flying sakura

"Not bad", said Sasori

From the Third Kazekage, four poison-laced kunai's flew out.

Sakura opened her eyes to see the puppets used by Lady Chiyo blocking the poison-laced kunai's.

"These are the first puppets made by the prodigy Sasori, his mother, and father"

"..."

Both puppets joined hands and pulled out the sharp threads.

As they begin to fly towards the third Kazekage...

Thousands of hands of Kazekage tried attacking them. But the puppets of Lady Chiyo were skillful, and they cut off the hands of Kazekage.

Kazekage puppet disassembles its hand and took out the sword and a blade. It flew to deal with the two puppets of Lady Chiyo.

They lock into the heated battle with one another.

When they separated both sides puppets had their weapons destroyed.

"You are too slow", Third Kazekage opened its mouth.

And iron sand flew out.

"Iron sand: scattered shower"

!!!!

Like rain, Black sand fell on Sakura, Lady Chiyo, and the two puppets.

Lady Chiyo used one of the puppets to save sakura.

But the passively standing Okami finally took actions as he raised his arm.

Using his pure mastery of winds, Okami superheated the molecules in the wind. Making the black sand evaporate throughout.

"..."

With wide eyes, both Sakura and Lady Chiyo watched what happened.

Smiling Okami came from behind.

"I am sure those puppets are important to you right? So, let's not get them ruined, as for your puppetry, it was a really impressive sight... As for you sakura chan, you are good shinobi now, especially when you decided to blow your surroundings to free yourself. You have grown up, a few more years and you will be able to fight S-ranks on yourself as well"

"Senpai"

"Leave everything to me now, Take care of Gaara"

She nodded.

He looked at Sasori and start walking towards him.

"Even if it's you, It won't be possibl--

Okami while advancing raised his hand and used the elemental path on those chakra strings.

The Third Kazekage puppet fell on the ground, lifelessly.

!!!!

All looked at Okami who was walking towards Sasori.

Sasori grits his teeth and throws needles after needles to Okami while jumping back.

Using his exceptional mastery of winds, an Invisible wave originates from Okami and blows away the needles while hitting Sasori.

Gahhhh

Sasori flew right onto the wall... Sasori took out a blade from his sleeves...

"It's useles---

He stabbed himself right into his heart.

He coughed and vomited blood after blood.

"..."

"You sure are powerful, In fact so powerful that I don't have a single technique to fight you, I have hundreds of puppets with me right now, yet, against you, I can't even use them... I won't be able to move much further anyway, Before that, I will do something pointless for you, a reward for defeating me"

"..."

"You wanted to know about Orochimaru right?"

!!!!

"What do you know about him?", came Sakura from behind him

"Go to Tenchi Bridge in Grass village in 10 days from now at noon. I have a spy in Orochimaru's subordinates, I am... supposed to... meet...

He is dead.

-------

Sakura and Old lady Chiyo went after Kakashi and Naruto while Okami just stood there. And only after making sure that everyone has left, he took out a seal.

"Jiraiya san, Can you listen"

"What is it brat?", came the voice of Jiraiya from the other side of the seal.

"Sasori of Akatsuki has a spy in Orochimaru's subordinates, Now sakura know about it as well, It's only a matter of time that they know of Orochimaru's hideout and Sasuke as well"

"..."

"Old man"

"Stand by on this one, I will contact Itachi and tell him the news, he will know what to do next, as for Sasuke don't worry about it, Orochimaru isn't weak, these little tricks won't deter him"

"So we do nothing?"

"Yes, we do nothing for now"

"Understood, also, I need the detailed information of Kakashi sensei"

"Why?"

"I am afraid, Kakashi sensei might be one of the Akatsuki's members."

"That's ridiculous"

"Listen, that guy practically watched me grow up, I am more than happy if I am wrong. But today, I sense a chakra coming from him, the same chakra that I felt in one of the Akatsuki guy"

"It might be similar"

"It was not similar, It was the same chakra... I am sure of it"

"So... you think that guy is Kakashi?"

"No, the guy that I met has only one Sharingan but that was in his right eyes... Kakashi sensei's Sharingan is in Left"

"So you think--

"It might be a possibility that Kakashi sensei's eye and that guy's eyes are from the same person... Do you know how he got it"

"Some guy name Obito gave it to him, but that boy died"

"Then his eye must have survived, can you look into both Kakashi sensei and this Obito"

"Understand"

-------

When he joined in the rest of the group, He saw the blast and space around it getting spiraled, as the blast disappeared.

'Impressive Dojutsu Sensei... I am afraid it still pale against me"

-------

(3 Days Later, Night)

Team 7 and Team 10 gathered around a blazing bonfire, merrily devouring chunks of roasted meat.

—They had long since parted ways with Sand siblings.

Okami is going home with them...

"THE CHALLENGE OF EATING BEGINS, MY YOUTHFUL RIVAL!"

"Maa already? Guess I'll have to step it up earlier than I thought."

"This is War..."

"YES GUY SENSEI"

"YOSH..!! LEE BE SURE TO WATCH TILL THE END"

"YES GUY SENSEI"

All of them sighed...

Okami mouth twitched in irritation. He actually forgot the loud and annoying Gai sensei and Lee.

Okami knows that after Kakashi sensei, it will be his turn to be challenged by Lee.

"I'm full." Okami nodded and stood up to his feet, wiping the oily corner of his mouth with his sleeves and smiled. "I'll go ahead and find a place to Meditate. Do ignore me"

"Meditate?", asked Tenten

"I will do anything to get out of here", he said

"..."

"Good point", sakura said

"Don't go too far", said Kakashi

Okami nodded with a smile and left as advised towards a faraway pond.

He sat down and focus on his breathing... as he got lost in Meditation...

Natural energy came to him rushing in... Making his body fill with pure Raw power.

"Splash splash splash!"

It was at this moment that he suddenly heard the sound of water splashing in the pond beside him.

The huge tree Okami was by was right beside the pond. In the first place, he was Meditating from behind the tree roots facing away from the pond, so he didn't notice anything happening inside the pond at all. Now that he had heard something peculiar, he then poked his head out around the tree and gazed at the pond.

A single glance alone caused a great shudder, and Okami felt all the blood in his body rush to his head.

Under the bright moonlight and inside the clear pond water was a white as a cream naked body, whose beautiful back had just suddenly appeared right before his eyes!

That thin waist, that cloud-like hair hanging across her shoulders, those long, graceful legs, and those peach-like butt cheeks… Okami saw everything. He lost his cool in an instant, and his eyes became hot. Even his breathing was gradually turning heavier and heavier.

'Tenten..!!'

Okami shouted in his heart. He only needed to look once at that slightly thin figure to know who the beautiful woman was.

Previously, Tenten was bathing inside the pond. Once she finished washing her body and swam over from the deeper part of the pond just now, she stood up with her back towards Okami, and facing towards the center of the pond, she said, "I'm done washing, so I'll be going back first. Take your time."

"I'm almost done," came Sakura's voice from further inside the pond.

Startled, Okami looked behind Tenten towards the deeper part of the pond, and only then did he noticed Sakura's little head on the surface of the water, glittering under the moonlight.

He immediately realized that the two girls must have come to the pond to bathe together after the bonfire had concluded. It's just that he didn't realize that they had come there because he was in the state of Thoughtless Tranquility, and since he was behind the tree, Tenten and Sakura also didn't notice him.

"Okay. Then I'll go up and change into my clothes," Tenten casually replied. She then turned around and began walking over from the pond.

Okami shuddered again as he dazedly watched Tenten, fully naked was facing directly towards him, with his mind completely blank.

Tenten was completely oblivious to the fact that there was someone in the vicinity. She was busy wiping the water droplets off her body and her soaked long hair with a towel. Her full and round breasts, her perfectly flat stomach, that little bush right between her beautiful legs… Okami could see everything!

She walked straight to where their clothes were placed not too far away, and just as she picked up some silken undergarments and put it on, she heard the sound of a person gulping.

"Who is it?" Tenten's expression turned as she exclaimed softly, and without a second thought, she dashed towards the origin of the sound like lightning.

It was only then that Okami came to his senses behind the tree as he quickly bowed his head, but unfortunately, it was already too late...

"Whoosh!"

Tenten's beautiful eyes were filled with evil. She raised her hands, brimming with a blue chakra and a murderous charge, and was about to strike down the offender with all her might.

When she saw that the person behind the tree was actually Okami, she suddenly froze and a cry escaped her lips. In an instant, her cheeks turned completely red with embarrassment, and although her shining left hand was still held high in the air she just couldn't bring it down on Okami.

"Tenten, are you talking to someone?" At this moment, Sakura's voice also came over. "I'm also finished. I'm coming up right now."

Hearing her words, Tenten became dumbfounded for a moment, but she instantly realized that the moment Sakura climbed up.

she would see Tenten completely wet next to Okami, and Okami too… would see an equally naked Sakura.

To prevent Sakura from noticing them, in a rush, she grits her teeth and shrunk right behind the tree and pressed herself tightly against Okami's body. That beautiful face of hers looked almost red enough to drip blood.

"Tenten, where are you? I told you to wait a bit for me. Just where did you run off to?"

As Sakura whispered to herself, her clothes rustled as she put them on. She glanced back and forth and then muttered, "That's weird. She was clearly just around here. How did she suddenly vanish?"

Her head constantly shook as she scanned around for any trace of Tenten.

In order to avoid being seen by Sakura, Okami and Tenten were standing behind a large tree, but it was only big enough to hide them if they huddled together. Unwittingly, the two plastered their bodies against each other...

Tenten squirmed. At the moment, she was covered only by some thin silk undergarments, and her long hair was still dripping wet. Her undergarment was completely soaked through, causing the thin fabric to closely stick to her graceful body. Compared to being completely naked, this kind of vagueness was far more enticing and stimulating.

She closed her eyes as they trembled when she felt something hard right between her legs.

She knew what it is.

Okami didn't dare move, his body becoming very stiff as his breathing gradually heavied...

Tenten's extremely alluring naked body was seamlessly plastered to him, allowing him to smell the delicate fragrance of orchids and feel the creaminess of her skin. He could sense her soft Breasts plastered on his chest... They were like marshmallows.

*Baudump

*Baudump

As Sakura muttered to herself, the heartbeats of the two quickly sped up. They could both feel each other's temperatures rise and hear each other's breaths slowly begin to grow heavier.

Okami couldn't control his lust any longer as he held her waist.

!!!

He kissed her.

!!!

She hit his chest repeatedly. But he didn't care at the moment, This is far more stimulus than it could ever be.

Stuck within their alluring and thrilling moment, the two became unable to think, their minds completely blank as they pressed closer and closer together.

Tenten squirmed as she felt the hard thing right between her legs.

Mmmmpphhhhh

Mmmmpphhhhh

Mmmmpphhhhh

She felt as if she would suffocate at any moment and quickly cried out as she forcefully pushed Okami away.

The two were finally separated.

"I… I am sorry, It was---"

He looked down with full red face, "You look very sexy"

"..."

"Do you know that I nearly suffocated"

"I- I am sorry"

Tenten suddenly raised her head and charmingly rolled her eyes, quietly laughing, "You're acting like a fool…"

Her words stopped; not waiting for Okami to clearly explain himself, she moved her long, beautiful legs and began walking towards their rest area. From her graceful and nimble steps, she seemed… to not truly be that angry.

He looked down at his hard member and her naked bum. He gulped as he decided to use some alone time right now.
