Bab 2: CH 2
Naruto's Bunshin dropped an obscene amount of physical offense on Gaara's prone form, driving him back into the ground hard. Naruto and his clones littered the trees looking down at Gaara. Naruto sighed yet again, "If I was at full strength he'd be a puddle in a crater right now… Someone's going to answer for this…"
Gaara looked up at the masses of Naruto Bunshin looking down on him. Each of them had the same uninterested look on their faces, as if they were trying to ignore him. Cold blue eyes magnified by one-thousand staring down on him.
'There's no way…' Gaara allowed the final shred of sanity and reasoning inside of him snap, "There's no way I'm going to lose to a guy like that!"
The original Naruto's eyes widened as Gaara's chakra spiked, "Oh crap. He can transform again!"
Naruto was blown back hard as Gaara was completely immersed in sand, swelling to the sky. Naruto's Kage Bunshin were dispelled as Gaara's towering sand smashed them asunder. Gaara ended up sticking out of the head of Shukaku looking down on Naruto, who was covered in sand, "It's too late Uzumaki! Time to die!"
"Ugh, like I said, power cleanly outclasses skill only in overwhelming quantities…" Naruto sat, entirely incased in Gaara's Sabaku Kyu, "Well this is great… I'm too weak to break it. Now what?" Naruto smirked as he remembered that he didn't stop learning things when he lost his memory, "Ero-sennin, you might have been useful after all…"
Naruto bit his thumb and made a few handsigns.
Gaara put out his right hand, "Sabaku Sos-."
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Jutsu)!"
In a massive burst of smoke Naruto found himself seated atop the head of Gamabunta smirking out at Gaara, "You didn't think it would be that easy did you?" Naruto looked down at Gamabunta, "Hey there Boss Toad. You want to help me out and take this jerk down with me? He's a little too big for me to handle alone at this time."
Gamabunta directed his gaze up at Naruto, 'Something feels different about this gaki… Like he isn't as frantic and spastic as he was the last time I saw him.' Gamabunta huffed out smoke from his pipe, "Ichibi no Shukaku… No can do kid. Why would I want to go out of my way to fight a guy like that?"
Naruto dead-panned the giant toad a look, "I thought summons were supposed to help their summoners fight in situations like this." Naruto pointed out at Gaara/Shukaku, "Look at that thing. If you don't help me then I'll end up a bloody smear on the bottom of its foot for sure."
Gamabunta laughed, "Tough. We haven't even had a drink yet. I can't accept you as my summoner until we share a drink together"
Naruto glared down at him, "You'd better be the one supplying then. Because my genin-ass can't afford enough liquor to get you even slightly buzzed."
Gamakichi then appeared and landed on Naruto's head, "Aww help him out pops. I like this kid."
Gamabunta looked at the smaller toad in surprise, "Gamakichi? What on Earth are you doing here?"
Gamakichi looked at his father sheepishly, "I just wanted to come out and see the outside world you know." He pointed over at Gaara/Shukaku, "And then that guy tried to bully me! Our boy here kept me alive and started kicking that guy's butt, but then he cheated and got all big, and now here we are."
Gamabunta glared out at the sand spirit, "Alright then gaki. You helped out my son, I appreciate that. You're alright with me. You have my support in this fight, but we're still having that drink later, you hear?"
Naruto stood up and nodded, his face hardening as he looked out at Gaara, "Gamakichi, you're going to want to get off of my head for this next part." Gamakichi got off of Naruto's head as Gamabunta drew his tanto and held it at the ready, "Whenever you're ready Boss Toad… Give him hell."
Gamabunta launched forward and dug his sword into Shukaku's arm. With one mighty heave he lopped it off, dropping it uselessly onto the ground before he jumped back to his distance and stared at his opponent. Gamabunta huffed in exhaustion, "That almost took everything I had, and all I took was his arm."
Naruto smirked down at Gamabunta, "Wow, and I thought I was out of shape. I've been out of full commission for four years, what's your excuse?"
Gamabunta eyed the boy, "Watch it brat or I'll squash you…"
The smile disappeared from Naruto's face as he looked back out at their mutual foe, "Kill me later, we still have a problem."
Gaara looked at Naruto excitedly, "Interesting… Interesting Naruto Uzumaki! I like this, this is a fantastic battle!" Gaara brought his hands into the ram seal, "Tanuki Neiri no Jutsu (Feigning Sleep Technique)!"
Shukaku's star-shaped pupils spun wildly and he yelled to the sky, "I'm free!"
Naruto kept an impassive face, "He just made this a lot more difficult didn't he?" Gamabunta nodded with the boy on his head, "And why wouldn't he? Alright let's try something here…"
Shukaku inhaled deeply, "Fuuton: Renkuudan (Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet)!" He launched a massive air ball at Gamabunta who prepared his own attack, "Suiton: Teppodama (Water Release: Liquid Bullet)!"
Naruto flew through his own hand-signs, "Let's give you a boost Boss Toad, Fuuton: Daitoppa (Wind Release: Great Breakthrough)!"
Naruto let out a massive crushing wind that sped up Gamabunta's water bullet, forcing it to obliterate Shukaku's attack on contact. It continued on to collide with the demon itself, knocking it off balance and sending it to the ground.

Sasuke was watching the fight with envy. Naruto had seemingly hit some mental switch in his head and now Gaara couldn't even touch him, "What kind of power is this? This Naruto is completely different from the one I've been working with for so long…"
Temari was completely overwhelemed. She had left to find Kankuro after Gaara had fully transformed and returned, thinking that Gaara had killed Naruto and moved along towards Konoha, she wanted to bypass him entirely and avoid his killing spree. When she returned she was shocked to see that Naruto was not only still fighting, not only forcing Gaara into a full-possesion, he was winning.
She and Kankuro had to check to make sure they weren't dreaming, "This boy. He isn't normal. How can he keep pace with Gaara."

Naruto looked down at Gamabunta, "So how do we end this?"
Gamabunta was impressed by Naruto boosting his attack. He knew it would have been a stalemate otherwise, 'This really isn't the same kid from last week…' Gamabunta remembered that Naruto had asked him a question, "We need to wake up the host. The boy on his head, you need to wake him up."
Naruto frowned and grunted, "Killing him would be easier… Way easier, we can just pepper him with big attacks until Gaara's a big red blotch on his forehead. He's totally exposed."
