'''Naruto Shippūden: Legends: Akatsuki Rising''' is an adventure game for the [[Wikipedia:PSP|PSP]] created by Namco Bandai Games America. The game is the "sequel" to ''[[Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles 2]]''. The game features 17 playable characters.
 
== Story ==
 
[[File:Kazekage Gaara 1.jpg|thumb|left|Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage.]]
 
[[Naruto]] left the village and underwent intensive training under [[Jiraiya]]. At the same time, [[Sakura]] became [[Tsunade]]'s apprentice, and [[Sasuke]] trained under Orochimaru. Thus, the three members of the original [[Team 7]] were now training individually under each of the Legendary [[Sannin]].
 
 
When Naruto returned to the village two and a half years later, he was reacquainted with his friends, who had all risen in rank in his absence. Most of his comrades had since become [[chūnin]]; [[Kankurō]] and [[Temari]] had become [[jōnin]], as well as [[Neji]]. [[Gaara]] has even become the Fifth [[Kazekage]]: Meanwhile, Naruto is the only [[genin]] left, aside from Sasuke, who never became a chūnin because of his leaving the village and becoming a [[missing-nin]]. Jiraiya left Naruto with [[Kakashi Hatake]], and along with Sakura, the three of them became a new team. To commemorate the event, they conducted another bell test, with Naruto and Sakura succeeding by attempting to reveal the ending of Icha Icha Tactics, forcing Kakashi to close his eyes (because his [[Sharingan]] could read Naruto's lips) and block his ears. When he opened his eyes he realised that Naruto and Sakura were holding the bells.
 
 
[[File:Hiruko, Deidara.PNG|thumb|Hiruko and Deidara's début.]]
 
In Sunagakure, the Akatsuki duo of [[Deidara]] and [[Sasori]] made their way to the village in search of Gaara. Deidara went off to fight Gaara alone while Sasori guarded the entrance. Gaara intercepted Deidara during the battle and managed to crush one of Deidara's arms using his [[Sand Binding Coffin]]. Despite his improved ability, Gaara's newfound desire to defend Sunagakure proved to be his downfall. When Deidara tried to destroy the village with his [[Explosive Clay]], Gaara absorbed the blast by levitating the sand below. A direct attack by Deidara forced him to recall the sand which crushed Deidara's arm, which contained a small portion of explosive clay within. The clay then detonated, incapacitating Gaara.
 
 
After Deidara departed with Gaara, Kankurō attempted to stop the Akatsuki members alone, but his puppets were easily fought off and destroyed by Sasori, who was revealed to be the maker of Kankurō's puppets. Sasori poisoned Kankurō in the process, leaving him to die. The Akatsuki duo took Gaara back to their lair, where their [[Nagato|leader]] summoned a [[Demonic Statue of the Outer Path|giant statue]] to [[Sealing Technique: Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals|extract and seal]] Gaara's demon. The sealing ritual took three days.
 
 
Upon hearing of Gaara's kidnapping, Team Kakashi left for Sunagakure. On the way, they met with and were joined by Temari, who was on her way back from being Suna's representative at the Chūnin Exams in Konoha. On their way, Naruto told Sakura and Temari that he is the host of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox and that Akatsuki are after the demon inside Gaara. After learning this, Sakura vowed to do everything she could to protect Naruto from being a victim of Akatsuki. Temari was thankful that there was finally someone who could understand Gaara, and grateful to Naruto for changing Gaara and attempting to save him.
 
 
[[File:Kisame attacking team 10.jpg|thumb|left|Team Guy vs. Kisame.]]
 
After arriving at Sunagakure, Team Kakashi learned of the attack on Kankurō. Despite the failed attempt by the medics on-hand, Sakura cured Kankurō, thus demonstrating her skill with medical techniques. Sakura also developed several portable antidotes rather quickly. Using a piece of Sasori's clothing found on one of Kankurō's destroyed puppets, Team Kakashi was able to track him, thus leading them to Gaara. Temari offered to assist them, but [[Chiyo]], another puppeteer and Sasori's grandmother, went in her place. Back in Konoha, Tsunade decided to send Team Guy as backup for Team Kakashi.
 
 
While Team Kakashi tracked Sasori through the piece of clothing, the Akatsuki leader sent [[Itachi Uchiha]] and [[Kisame Hoshigaki]] to deal with Team Kakashi and the approaching [[Team Guy]], respectively. In a forest, Kakashi and Naruto were able to defeat Itachi after some effort using one of Kakashi's clones and Naruto's new [[Big Ball Rasengan]]. Meanwhile, Team Guy was largely disabled by Kisame, leaving Guy himself to fight Kisame alone. Guy emerged victorious by opening six of the eight chakra gates to perform his [[Morning Peacock]] technique, which allowed him to pummel Kisame to death. However, both Akatsuki members were actually entirely different people in disguise. They were made into weaker copies of those they were impersonating through [[Nagato|the leader]]'s [[Shapeshifting Technique]].
 
 
Despite their victories, the two teams realised their battles were distractions to buy time for Akatsuki to extract [[Shukaku]] from Gaara, which would kill him if completed. At the Akatsuki hideout, a barrier was blocking the entrance. Directed by Kakashi, Team Guy removed the [[Five-Seal Barrier|four seals]] maintaining the barrier, but a [[Mirrored Sudden Attacker Technique|failsafe]] created clones of them as a further distraction. Ultimately, the many delaying tactics employed by Akatsuki are successful, as Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura and Chiyo found Deidara and Sasori guarding Gaara's lifeless body. This lead to Naruto entering tailed-beast state rage upon seeing Deidara sitting on the Kazekage's corpse. While Chiyo and Sakura fought Sasori, Deidara flew off on a clay bird with Gaara's body, with Naruto and Kakashi in pursuit.
 
 
Although Sasori "wore" his [[Hiruko|puppet]] and controlled it from inside, this technique of puppeteer fighting soon proved to be futile against Sakura and Chiyo. By controlling Sakura like a puppet, Chiyo was able to get Sakura close enough to demolish the puppet with one punch.
 
 
With his first puppet destroyed, Sasori is revealed, looking just as young as he did when he left the village. He summoned another puppet to continue the battle: the [[Third Kazekage]]. It is here that Sasori reveals that he not only killed the Third Kazekage, but actually [[Human Puppets|made his body into a puppet]]. Likewise, he has done the same to 297 other people, and planned to do the same with Sakura and Chiyo after winning. With its unique [[Iron Sand]] ability mixed with Sasori's poison, the Kazekage puppet is exceptionally dangerous. Chiyo summoned two more puppets to fight against it. These puppets were puppet versions of Sasori's parents, which he had made to remind him of them after they were killed by [[Sakumo Hatake]] early in his childhood. The puppets were left with the village when Sasori deserted it. Using the Iron sand and poison, the Kazekage puppet was a tough fight for Sakura and Chiyo. However, the antidotes Sakura had developed before departing from Sunagakure allowed them to continue the fight. Having been trained by Tsunade to pick up the enemy's attack patterns, Sakura was able to easily dodge Sasori's subsequent attacks and demolish the Kazekage puppet.
 
 
[[File:Puppet Sasori.png|thumb|left|Sasori's puppet body.]]
 
Down another puppet, Sasori revealed the secret of his youth: he had made himself into a puppet. In response, Chiyo used White Secret Technique: The Chikamatsu Collection of Ten Puppets to summon Monzaemon Chikamatsu's ten masterpiece puppets. To mock the display, Sasori used his Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets to summon 100 of his human puppets. During the fight between these puppets, Sakura used a chakra-sealing orb on Sasori. Though it appeared successful at first, Sasori revealed another ability he had. As a puppet, Sasori did not only have numerous weapons to fight with, he could also reassemble himself when destroyed, making him seem impossible to defeat. However, it was revealed that the only part of him that remained alive, and thus able to use chakra, was his heart, which contained a talisman labelled Sasori (蠍; Literally meaning "Scorpion"). When trapped in a seal performed by four of Chikamatsu's puppets, Chiyo used the mother and father puppets to stab through his heart. In spite of the victory, Chiyo believed that Sasori allowed himself to be killed — he saw the attack coming and chose not to react, and died in a way similar to how his parents used to embrace him.
 
 
At the end of the battle, Chiyo, Sasori, and Sakura were all fatally wounded, but Chiyo used a technique she originally developed for Sasori to save Sakura's life. The technique uses the user's own life energy, making it fatal to use to animate a puppet or reanimate the deceased, but Chiyo survives since Sakura was still alive. Sasori's last words (as a reward to Sakura for defeating him) were that he had a spy in Orochimaru's ranks, whom he was supposed to meet in Kusagakure ten days later.
 
 
[[File:Kamui1.PNG|thumb|left|Kakashi using Kamui on Deidara in an attempt to remove his head.]]
 
During the time of the fight with Sasori, Naruto and Kakashi were chasing after Deidara. Kakashi activated his own version of the [[Mangekyō Sharingan#Kakashi Hatake|Mangekyō Sharingan]] and aimed to use it to take Deidara's head. However, it was difficult to aim, and all he managed to remove was his arm. Deidara tried to retreat, but Naruto destroyed his clay bird with Rasengan and retrieved Gaara's body. Enraged and powered by the Nine-Tails' powers, Naruto seemed to be defeating Deidara with Rasengan, but it turned out to be a [[Clay Clone]]. Still enraged, Naruto started to appear feral as he transformed into his [[Naruto Uzumaki's Jinchūriki Forms#Version 1|two-tailed form]]. Kakashi recognised the bad sign and used a [[Chakra-Suppressing Seal|seal tag]] he had received from Jiraiya to stop the transformation from proceeding any further. Naruto subsequently reverted back to his normal form.
 
 
As the rest of Team Kakashi and Team Guy caught up with Naruto and Kakashi, Deidara found himself unable to escape. He swallowed some clay, turning himself into a human bomb. Neji saw this and tells everyone to get away. Deidara then swelled up and detonated. As the dust settled, Kakashi collapsed from exhaustion, explaining that he used his Mangekyō Sharingan to send the explosion to another dimension. With Naruto carrying Gaara's body, the two teams headed back to Sunagakure.
 
 
[[File:Gaara.PNG|thumb|Chiyo reviving Gaara.]]
 
Stopping in a grassy field near the village, Sakura checked on Gaara and pronounced him dead, making Naruto very upset. Chiyo moved towards Gaara and tried to use her [[One's Own Life Reincarnation|reincarnation technique]], but didn't have enough life force left to bring Gaara back to life. Naruto gladly lent his own chakra, and Chiyo was able to revive Gaara at the cost of her own life while the shinobi of Suna watched.
 
 
Back at the battleground, Deidara emerged from the ground, revealing that it was his clone that destroyed itself. He went off looking for the right arm that he lost. After finding it, he encountered [[Zetsu]] and [[Tobi]], a mysterious individual who wished to take Sasori's place in Akatsuki. Tobi's carefree attitude about Deidara's condition angered Deidara, and he attempted to strangle Tobi in a comical fashion with his feet after one-too-many callous remarks.
 
 
[[File:Naruto shakes hands with Gaara.png|thumb|left|The Sand Siblings see the Konoha-nin off.]]
 
After paying their respects to Chiyo, and bidding Gaara and his siblings' farewell, the Konoha shinobi returned home. Naruto stated that these situations were always a bit awkward right before Gaara extends his hands to him in gratitude. Not too sure how to react a small trail of sand wraps itself around Naruto's hand and brings it to Gaara's. As the Konoha-nin prepare to leave, Kakashi was still exhausted from his overuse of his Mangekyō Sharingan and had to be carried back by Guy. Guy does so piggyback style as he found it easier to carry him for an extended period of time, disturbing everyone present except Lee, who remarked that Guy was training. Lee then proceeded to offer to carry Neji, who bluntly refused.
