With the group
“It is good to see you again” The man said pulling down his hood to reveal his red hair and the mark on his forehead that read ‘Love’. As the cloak dropped it revealed the whole person. A tall man in casual grabs with a gourd on his back. He was as tall as Naruto if not bigger, but what was weird was the man was smiling.
“GARRA!” Naruto yelled hugging his friend and other jinchuriki.
“Hello Naruto.” Garra said hugging him back. Surprising everyone around him, Garra of the sand was supposed to be a heartless killing machine, not this nice guy. But sure enough there he was hugging Naruto like they were brothers.
“Wow it’s been so long, good to see you ditched the creepy look.” Naruto said grinning at the red head.
“Yeah, I was scary, wasn’t I?” He said turning to the stunned leaf Nins.
“What, you all look like you have seen a psychopath.” Garra laughed as Naruto throw his arm around the mans neck.
“Oh and a sense of humor, perfect.” Naruto said, but then he noticed the quiet figure next to them.
“Hey Garra whose that?” Naruto said pointing at the other figure.
“Oh silly me” Garra said walking over and putting his arm around the figure’s waist. “This is Neko, she’s my girlfriend.” Garra said enjoying the sound of everyone’s jaw hitting the ground.
The figure pull off the cloak to reveal a beautiful women, same size as Hinata, blonde hair tied in a pony tail, with grey eyes. She swore a pair of jeans and a short sleeve short, and her arms had long guards coming from her elbows to her wrists and wrapping around her thumbs. But the most interesting feature was the small arsenal around her waist. The girl looked them all over and wondered what they were staring at.
The first to talk, as normal was Naruto. “That’s great.” He said as he walked up to the pair. But he quickly turned around and grabbed Hinata hand and walked up to the couple. “Garra of the sand, Neko. I’d like to introduce you to Hinata, she’s my girlfriend” Naruto said grinning like an idiot. For a second no one said anything and then Garra just begun to laugh. “Well it’s nice to meet you Hinata, I remember you from the exams many years ago.” Garra said turning to look at Naruto. “Its good people like us…to have people who love us huh?” Garra said looking at the two girls. “Yes, yes it is.” Naruto said.
“Ummm… if you would kindly tell us WHAT IS GOING ON?” Sakura asked feeling really out of place.
“Well, there will be time for that in Suna. For now I want to get through this desert so if you would Garra lead the way.” Jiraiya said
“I would love to, this way” Garra said taking Neko’s hand and walking, motioning for them to follow.
In the desert somewhere
Kabuto watched and laughed as anything living or not was being smashed and obliterated. After Sasuke got the news about Naruto he started to go nuts. He was decimating anything in his path. He had just now gotten done with a mountain that “Wouldn’t move” as Sasuke put it.
On the inside the boy was in complete turmoil. He was enraged that this dobe had surpassed him. But not only had he surpassed him, he had the one thing he wanted. Itachi, Itachi was after Naruto and Sasuke saw this as a perfect opportunity to kill two birds with 1 Chidori.
“You can stop now, Sasuke-Kun, you will have a chance to fight him” A rather malicious voice chimed in. Sasuke turned and watched as the Snake sannin walked in looking rather…giddy.
“When?” Sasuke asked showing as much emotion as normal.
“Don’t worry they are all in Suna, and besides there are two demons there now. We mustn’t keep them waiting we should go and see them.” Orochimaru said as he turned to leave.
“Orochimaru, I want to say this now if it come to it I’m using it no ,matter what.” Sasuke said charging his chidori.
“Of course, you mastered it you can use it. But be weary if you damage my new body, I’ll kill you” Orochimaru said with a chuckle. He loved the reckless side of Sasuke, especially when he jammed the chidori right into the rock face, causing it to blow up.
Suna
The group of teens were walking for nearly 2 hours when they made it to the stone wall surrounding the village hidden in the sand. As the party waked through the pathway a crowd was gathered around the end waiting for their arrival. Naruto was shocked, why all of these were people her to see them. Being the Naruto he was, he believed they were there to greet him and his group. But as they walked in he could hear the voice and they were all saying different things. But one word rang clear “Kazekage”. Naruto was getting very suspicious and started to look around for the great sand warrior.
“Hey, Hinata, who are they all talking about?” Naruto asked not seeing anyone who fit the description of “great warrior of Suna.
“Naruto don’t you know?” Naruto said watching as he shock his head. How could he be so clueless there were only two sand Nins there.
“WAIT!!! GARRA IS THE KAZEKAGE!” Naruto yelled, but it was drown out in the cheers and hollers from the crowd. Naruto stared in disbelief as the tall red head laughed and waved to the crowd. It was unbelievable that in this short time Garra got everything he ever wanted. He had the respect of people around him, he had power and most important he had someone to love and love him back.
Naruto felt good for the man, he knew the life he had led. Naruto had gone through much of the same darkness Garra had, but Naruto also had his friends and more importantly Hinata. He was so glad that he had someone to love, and was even more happy to be able to help her. He would never let her go through what he and Garra had.
“Naruto, we must talk.” Jiraiya said walking to the blonde’s side. But as he noticed the girl at his side he added. “Alone” and Jiraiya was off to a little alleyway.
“I’ll be right back” Naruto said walking to the alley way. But, only three feet from the alley way Naruto spun around and kissed Hinata, and pulled her to the alleyway with him.
“Sorry, Ero-Sensei, but anything you need to tell me you can tell Hinata” Naruto said.
Hinata was touched, he trusted her so much. She was glad there were no secrets between them, and besides their biggest secrets were already known to the other.
“Ok, it deals with you two anyhow.” Jiraiya said looking at the young couple. He then took on a much more serious tone and looked at Naruto “You have to tell them.”
“Tell them what?” Naruto asked looking at his mentor.
“You have to tell the group about you know who.” Jiraiya said as Naruto’s face fell, “Garra has to do the same. But that is where you come in Hinata.” Jiraiya said looking at the pale girl.
“What do you mean?” She questioned holding Naruto closer. She knew this was eating at him. He had always wanted to tell someone and when he told her it was like a weight lifted off his shoulders. But when he had told her, she was like him. There was little chance of rejection, but now there was a whole group of people who would hate him.
“You don’t have to tell them.” Jiraiya said very plainly. “They need to know about Naruto, he is main priority on this mission, and his ‘tenant’ is very important. But the others don’t need to know of yours yet. I’ll be telling the rest of the group about the mission later but first I must…” But Jiraiya started and then pushed the two teens out of the way and looked at the stunning women now at the end of the alleyway. In a flash Jiraiya was gone leaving the two to contemplate what they should do.
Far from Konoha
Hanabi and Konohamaru had been traveling for maybe 10 hours in complete silence. Each were so happy they were with someone exactly like them. It was good to be traveling with someone. But, they needed to stop soon, rest, and to talk. Konohamaru still had no clue what was going on.
“Hey lets camp here.” He said looking around.
“Why I need to get to my family.” She said looking rather determined.
“Well, we need to rest and you need to tell me the plan”
“Ok, but Ummm… we have no stuff, I forgot it all.” Hanabi said as she gave him a sheepish smile. Konohamaru just laughed as he pulled out a scroll from his backpack and unrolled it on the ground.
“Well, I always have my camping and survival gear in this scroll.” He said rubbing the back of his head. “I pull a lot of pranks so I use this when I need to lay low.”
“Hmmm…cleaver.” She said, while watching as he released the scroll and out popped a tent, a couple of pots, some food, some clothes and a sleeping bag.
“Well you have some things you need to tell me.” Konohamaru said pulling out his flint and gathering some wood.
“Like what?” Hanabi asked
“Well for one where we are going.” He said with a laugh
“Oh sorry, well the file says they are meeting people at sand and traveling to location X” Hanabi said reading the file again.
“Location X…cool” Konohamaru said pouring water into the pot. “So who else is with them?”
“Well, Hinata and Neji are there and Ten Ten, Rock Lee, Uzamaki Naruto-“ Hanabi said but she was stopped as the water went spraying by and Konohamaru looked shocked.
“Naruto is going to be there, Sweet!” Konohamaru said jumping up and down. She couldn’t help but laugh at his childish antics, but then something occurred to her. “Ummm…Konohamaru…why did you come with me.”
“Eh…well” He said rubbing the back of his head “I really didn’t have a reason. You were leaving on a cool journey and I didn’t want you to have to go it alone.”
“Oh…” She muttered trying to stop her blush. She was touched, no one but Hinata and Neji would have ever done anything like this just for her. He was so kind and he was thinking of her before himself, it was weird, she didn’t know why she felt this way.
“Ramen?” He asked offering her a cup of steaming instant ramen.
She was still a little flustered and just nodded and took the cup. They ate in silence for a while and when they finished their meals they noticed how late it was getting.
“Hmmm…We should get to sleep.” He said looking at the stars.
“Ummm…” Hanabi was still flustered and was now getting very nervous, but then she looked at their equipment. He only had 1 tent and 1 sleeping bag. She blushed again and looked down. But Konohamaru looked around for a second trying to find the problem when his eyes landed on his sleeping stuff.
“Ohhh… well you can have ‘em I’ll sleep out here.” He said blushing nearly as hard as her.
“No it’s your stuff and besides you have done enough for me, I hate to be a burden.” Hanabi was still blushing and wondered where this had come from, way was it so embarrassing.
“No that’s ok I want you to have a good sleep I’ll be fine.” Konohamaru was starting to worry. Why was he so weird around her? He would have never acted like this around anyone else. Why was he so different around her. The only thing he knew was that this would be a long night.
Suna
Group was told to meet everyone at the Kazekage’s tower at 8:00, until then they could do anything they wanted. But for one of the members of the group he had some things to think about. So as usual he found the highest most secluded place in Suna. Luckily for him it was not far, as he got to the Kaze’s tower fit all of his needs. He got to the top and decided to watch the clouds which were moving at a good slow pace.
‘Why can’t I just go and see her. I shouldn’t be having this problem. She is just a girl, would it be that bad if she…ok well let’s she if the joy of Y is plus the joy of X is greater then the pain of Z.” But Shikamaru was torn from his thoughts by a voice that chilled and thrilled him.
“I knew I’d find you here.” The sand kunoichi said as she walked up to him.
“T-temari, what are you doing here.” Shikamaru said feeling nervous and scared, which he wasn’t used to.
“Well I heard that a group of Leaf Nins were here and they dragged alone a lazy ass Nara with them. So what are you doing up here…besides cloud watching of course.” Temari said sitting next to the lazy boy.
“I was thinking, it’s the only thing I’m good at.” Shikamaru said getting back to his normal bored tone. “So how have things been?”
“Ok, there getting better.” The blonde said sneaking a quick glance from the boy at her side. She had nearly exploded when they told her Shikamaru was here. She had never felt like this before, hell, she barely felt. Bring raised as the Kazekage’s daughter and brother she had to keep emotionless. But, he, he made her feel better, he treated her nice like an actually person.
“Hmmm…sounds good” Shikamaru said looking back at her. “So you want to get something to eat or something.” Shikamaru said rubbing his head.
“What?” Temari asked, looking up and locking gazes with the shadow nin. Why was he so nice? She was always sort of mean and scary to him, why did he ask her out.
“Well, I was just wondering if you wantedtogetsomethingtoeat?” Shikamaru said so fast he garbled the end of his sentence.
“Sure” She said “Where do you want to go.”
“Ummm…well I don’t know the area well so you can pick.” He said delegating responsibility as usually.
“Ok come on” She said leading him to the door of the roof “And you can take the stairs this time, I laughed my ass off when you nearly fell walking up.” She said laughing at the blush on his cheeks.
