"Naruto dodged out of the way of a blast of air and landed on another tree branch. He stared down at Temari, watching her for a moment. Different battle scenarios ran through his head, each and every one of them more complicated than the last. He slowly exhaled before standing and leaping away from another blast of air. He landed behind a tree trunk and created a Shadow Clone. The two bolted to either side, moving to flank Temari.
"A simple tactic like that won't work on me!" Temari yelled out, swinging her iron fan and unleashing a gust of wind at Naruto.
The body slammed into a tree and disappeared in a puff of smoke, just as Temari's body was drawn taunt against the tree she was standing against, golden chains siphoning off the chakra from within her body. She stared helplessly as Naruto landed in front of her.
Naruto stared at the blonde Kunoichi and debated internally of killing her. He could, and he could get away with it too… but it wouldn't sit well with him. He could rape her, break her mind and body using his Shadow Clones and the Tsukiyomi, but that wouldn't sit well with him either. Naruto sighed and shook his head. "I will get you back for what you did to me Temari, but not today. I have to attend to a Jinchurikii close to rampaging." Naruto moved to jump away
"WAIT!" Temari cried out loudly, struggling against the chains but finding it useless. "Please, please don't kill my little brother." She said
Naruto paused, staring over at Temari. "And if the positions were reversed, would Gaara willingly plead to have me stop from killing you? Would Kankuro even?" Naruto asked, turning to face the older blonde.
Temari glanced down. "No, Gaara wouldn't." she admitted. "But I don't want you to kill him, please." Temari said, close to pleading with the blonde.
"Why?" Naruto asked, wanting to know Temari's reasons behind wanting him to spare Gaara. He had no intention of killing someone like he was, but that didn't mean Temari knew that.
'Because he is my little brother." Temari said, "Despite the violence, the threats, even his bloodlust, I never considered him a monster. I consider what is in him a monster, but not Gaara. Please, spare him." She said hanging her head, knowing how useless it sounded.
Naruto watched Temari before giving a nod, even if she couldn't see it. "I'll spare him." He said before taking off. He had five minutes before the chains would dissolve, letting Temari free. He wanted to finish this before that happened.
Thirty minutes later, he had finally caught up to Gaara and Kankuro, only for Temari to land beside them as well. It was a bit impressive in Naruto's mind that she was able to catch up that quickly. "I'll take Gaara ahead." She told Kankuro who moved to remove his puppet from his back.
Naruto moved to leap past Kankuro but the damned puppet got in his way, forcing Naruto to leap back. He glanced over at the figure that landed beside him. "I will take him Uzumaki-san. Why? Because he was meant to be my opponent for the exams." Shino of all people had showed up, ready to help kick some ass.

Naruto looked over to the stoic, and usually quiet, boy. "Thanks Shino." Naruto said and moved to move past Kankuro. The puppet user tried to intercept Naruto, but a barrage of shuriken from Shino made Kankuro move his puppet for defense. Naruto then took off after Gaara and Temari.
Naruto continued on running, having been slowed down long enough to give Temari and Gaara a bit of a lead. However, another thirty minutes and he managed to catch up, this time moving to cut them off. Temari moved to buy Gaara some time to leave himself, but Naruto moved in quickly, grabbing her fan with a chain and yanking it from her grasp. A bit petty, but Naruto then used it to bash Temari over the head.
Naruto then leapt away, dodging the barrage of sand shuriken from Gaara. Naruto then snapped his chain to life and lashed it through the sand arm coming his way. Naruto stared Gaara down a bit, his mind trying to come up with several different ways to handle this fight. Naruto's mind came up with one option and he rushed ahead. Every fight or flight instinct was screaming at him to flee, to not charge Gaara head on. Naruto ignored it as he rolled under another sand arm and dodged his way through a second barrage of shuriken. Naruto was now staring at the half deformed face of Gaara, and into the golden eyes of Gaara's tenant that was taking over. It was a massive gamble but… "Tsukiyomi!" Naruto called out as he snapped his Mangekyo Sharingan, catching Gaara in the ocular Genjutsu.
Naruto looked around the world that was Tsukiyomi mixed with Gaara's mind. It had white shifting sands, a black night sky, and a red moon that had his version of Mangekyo Sharingan on it. Naruto didn't want to know what would happen if he stayed on the sand, so a chain shot up beside him and he leapt up onto it, riding it into the air, giving him a better view of his surroundings.
The Tsukiyomi was never intended to trap someone like a Jinchurikii: Someone that had two minds in one body. So while the dominant personality, i.e. Gaara, the second personality, i.e. the Shukaku, would take over as a defense of the mind. However, the second personality was still trapped within the mind, unless it could break the Tsukiyomi's hold.
Naruto caught sight of the Shukaku, staring at the massive Tanuki that watched him. Its body was made of the same bone white sand, but the markings on it, done in a pitch black, were a stark contrast.
