Naruto and Sasuke chased after the new giants and Sakura, eager to catch up with them and stop them. Neji glanced behind and saw the opposition coming. He turned to Konohamaru and said, "Stay behind and occupy them."

Konohamaru nodded and stopped, turning to face Naruto and Sasuke. Sasuke quickly grew to his full height of twenty feet while Naruto grew to match him. Konohamaru smirked and said, "I can do better!"

Both genin watched in surprise as Konohamaru grew bigger and bigger reaching fifty five feet in height! Naruto glanced at Sasuke and said, "You attack low, I'll attack high!'

Sasuke nodded as Naruto grew to match Konohamaru. Konohamaru looked surprised but quickly recovered and said, "If you want Sakura back you're going to have to go through me!"

Naruto answered with a quick, "Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Instantly Konohamaru was surrounded by Naruto clones, some as big as Naruto, some as small as Sasuke, and a few in between. Konohamaru pulled out several kunai and tossed them at the clones, smiling as they exploded one by one into clouds. His smile quickly faded as he felt a burning sensation on his leg. He kicked out and knocked Sasuke back who had used a Fireball Jutsu on him. Even though Sasuke was more than a match for Konohamaru when they were normal size, the sheer size difference was all it took to reduce Sasuke from unbeatable opponent to mere annoyance. It wasn't a fact that was lost on Sasuke, but there was nothing that could be done about it. He threw out shuriken attached to strings and surround Konohamaru. Bringinig the strings together he sent fire down them searing Konohamaru from all sides. While Konohamaru was busy trying to avoid the fire, Naruto powered up a Rasengan and slammed it into the young boy's chest. Instantly he was thrown back slamming through building after building until he came to a stop about a hundred feet away. It didn't look like he was getting back up, but he wasn't shrinking either. Naruto had attained his size through Orochimaru's chakra while Konohamaru had got his through Sasori though neither of the two boys knew this. As such, Konohamaru was merely knocked out, but still a threat.

Not wasting any time, both Naruto and Sasuke searched for Neji, but he had disappeared with Sakura. Naruto smashed a building nearby angrily and said, "I can't believe we let him get away!"

Sasuke sighed and said, "Well there's nothing we can do about it right now. We should report this to the Hokage."

Naruto shrunk back down to his normal size and said, "Yeah, Grandma Tsunade will probably want to know about this."

Sasuke grabbed Naruto's arm as he started walking toward the Hokage Mansion. "What are you doing Sasuke?"

"One of us needs to stay here and watch Konohamaru in case he wakes up. You can get a lot bigger than I can and you may need to. Just because he only grew up to fifty five feet now doesn't mean he can't get bigger."

Naruto nodded and said, "I sure hope neither of them can get too much bigger."

With that, Naruto ran over to Konohamaru's unconscious body. He looked at the burn marks and the spiral mark on his chest where the Rasengan had hit and felt bad. He knew that Konohamaru couldn't help himself and was being forced to fight against his will, but that didn't mean it was right to hurt him so much. Hopefully they'd be able to keep him under control and they wouldn't have to fight anymore.

As Sasuke made his way to the Hokage Mansion, Neji, Sakura in hand, was making his way to Sasori and Deidara who had found Hidan and Kakuzu and were waiting for Zetsu to return. Hidan glared at Kakuzu and said, "You just had to bring a corpse with you on this mission didn't you?"

Kakuzu sighed and said, "I didn't bring this on the mission. I killed him ON the mission."

"Yeah, well it's starting to @#$%&* smell!" Hidan shouted.

Sasori quickly broke in and said, "Stop it. The last thing we need now is you two fighting. Again."

Kakuzu turned to Sasori and said, "Well it's not like it can get any worse."

As he said this, Neji came crashing through the trees, stopping in front of the four Akatsuki members. Deidara turned to Kakuzu and said, "You had to say something didn't you, hmm?"

Neji simply lowered Sakura to the ground who fell to her knees, weak after the frightening journey. After setting Sakura down, Neji crossed his arms and said, "What is your order master?"

Deidara looked from Neji to Sasori before asking, "Do you know this giant ninja Sasori-sama?"

Sasori shook his head and said, "It looks like the Konohagakure ninja somehow lost control of the scroll they stole from us. Its worked in our favor though."

Kakuzu smiled and said, "Looks like you don't have to do any work after all Hidan."

Hidan shrugged and said, "Whatever. It didn't really matter to me anyway."

Deidara said, "What are you going to have him do Sasori-sama?"

Sasori thought about and said, "I'm not sure yet. Perhaps we should wait for Zetsu to return."

"Why bother?" Hidan said. "We have a great weapon right here!"

Kakuzu snorted and said, "Yes and how many giants does the Leaf Ninja have? With only one we wouldn't stand a chance."

Deidara shrugged and said, "I don't know. We should at least find out what we can do with this one. Maybe there's more than one."

Sasori nodded and said, "Very well. We'll test this ninjas' power while we wait for Zetsu."

Sakura just watched all this in horror. She was trapped, hoping that Naruto or Sasuke or anyone could come and save her. She didn't know why Neji had brought her here since the red haired ninja (Sasori she thought they had said) hadn't given him any orders. What was going to happen next?
