Naruto: Fourth Hokage

"Untrustworthy because I'm a total stranger who's a Jinchuurki helping a total stranger who so happens to be a Jinchuuriki like myself," Naruto remarked, "Before you go judging me why don't you research the facts first."

"What are you doing out here," Kankuro interrogated.

"I live in this village therefore I'm free to walk where I like," Naruto countered, "What are you two doing out here?"

"Us two," Temari asked with a confused expression, "What about Gaara?"

"I can understand his reasons for being here," Naruto replied, "Plus he's the person I came here to find."

Naruto turned his gaze from Temari and Kankuro to Gaara. The two Jinchuurikis looked at each other without saying a word in exchange. Naruto was aware of the situation after seeing what became of the near surrounding forest which was reduced to a desert wasteland.

"I'm happy to have found you out here Gaara," Naruto said while maintaining an alert demeanor, "It makes it easier for me to do what I came here for."

"KILL!," shouted a maniacal demonic voice in Gaara's mind, "KILL HIM AND GIVE ME HIS BLOOD!"

Gaara held his head, trying to get rid of the voice as he felt Shukaku's influence. The raccoon dog (tanuki) demon always did this; he altered his adrenaline and made him enjoy the thrill of killing. However Gaara did not delude himself, he liked killing all of the people. It's what they all deserved in his opinion for doing to him what they did.

'Love thy self and only thy self,' that was his motto.

"GIVE ME BLOOD! GIVE ME THE BLOOD OF THAT JINCHUURIKI!," shouted out Shukaku's voice in his mind, "GIVE IT TO ME NOW!"

Naruto saw the insane look in Gaara's eyes. The red-haired nin was ready to kill. Naruto slowly walked over to Gaara cautiously when he and the other Suna siblings felt a massive amount of bloodlust directed entirely at Naruto. The cork from Gaara's gourd popped off and out came the sand as it wrapped around Gaara. What Naruto was now looking at was a heavily disfigured Gaara standing before him with one large claw-like arm, preparing to strike.

"Your blood has been asked for Naruto!," Gaara said in a maniacal before he thrust his clawed arm at the blonde. Naruto wasted no time and ran to the side before the attack hit. The force of the attack sent him flying off his feet and down to the ground momentarily. Temari and Kankuro ran out of the way as the two Jinchuurikis prepared to fight.

"Shukaku wishes to fight huh," Kyuubi said, "Fine! I've been meaning bust that weakling's ass for some time now!

You're willing to help, Naruto asked in a mock tone shocked voice.

"Well somebody has to put that bijuu in its place," Kyuubi retorted, "And I don't want to give the impression that my container is weak."

Naruto got up and turned his gaze back to the demonically deformed looking Gaara who was drooling rather nastily. Gaara gave Naruto a maniacal smile and his geared his monstrous sand-made claw towards him.

This guy is out of control and a real threat to both himself and everyone, Naruto thought, I better end this possible death match now and fast before it attracts unwanted attention from the village.

"Tajuu Kage Bushin No Jutsu," Naruto called out as a massive army of solid clones came to life and surrounded Gaara.

"Stop him by whatever means possible," Naruto ordered before the clones charged at Gaara.

"NARUTO!," Gaara scream crazily with drool spilling out of his mouth as he charged at the clones, "GIVE ME YOUR BLOOD!"

The clones went to work in fighting with Gaara. Meanwhile, the real Naruto went to work to create the special written seal Jiraiya created and taught to him some time ago. After hurriedly preparing the seal, Naruto looked to see the clones doing everything in their power to restrain the possessed Gaara who was fighting with them fiercely with all out intent to kill and destroy everything and everyone in sight. From where Naruto was seeing it, there was no possible way to hold Gaara down long enough in order to place the written seal on him. He had to come up with another approach to this fast; time was running out.

Meanwhile, the clones were battling it out with Gaara who was putting up quite a resistance against them. Many of the clones were already smashed, crushed, pulverized or beaten out of existence by the deranged Gaara. Temari and Kankaro watched from a distance as Naruto and Gaara fought it out against each other in a savage death fight. For their own safety they decided to remain neutral as the two Jinchuurikis settled their issues or at least until one of them was left standing, alive that is.

A while later, all of the clones seem to have been puffed out of existence leaving the three Suna siblings remaining in the opening.

"NARUTO!!," Gaara yelled out maniacally with Shukaku's voice mixed in, "WHERE ARE YOU? I WANT THAT BLOOD OF YOURS!"

Naruto came speedily from the trees and body-crashed into Gaara while he dug through his kunai pockets. Gaara used his giant sand hand to dig into the ground to stop his backward momentum. Naruto took out a kunai with an exploding tag on it and threw at Gaara's feet. The possessed nin brought his large arm up to protect himself from the explosion. It blasted Gaara back a couple of more feet.

"Why are you attacking me," asked Naruto, "I'm trying to help you!"

"Kill…Your blood. I must have it! I must satisfy him!," shouted out Gaara, "Yet you're strong…how?…Why are you strong…why can't I kill you yet?"

"I don't wish to fight you," stated Naruto, "I only want to he-"

"I have to kill you….kill you…I must…to prove my existence," said Gaara as he clutched his head.
