Chapter 5 Siblings who protect their own

Naruto POV

That morning I could I felt cold, yet warm due to the gentle light that fitted in through the closed windows, the dull grey of night becoming lighter as the sun rose melting away the snow. My eye shifted around my room taking in the mess that was displayed before me I closed my eyes and slowly made myself sit up as I swung my legs over my bed side. I sauntered over to the deck window and yanked it open inhaling the fresh cold morning air and took notice of the clear blue sky, with not a single cloud in site. "Its nice…." I murmured to myself as I turned my back to the railing and leaned my body weight against it, not in the least bothered by the cold sensation that shot thorough my naked back side.

I stayed like that for a moment when realization hit me that I had a mission with an unknown partner today. "God I hope I don't get paired with that Shino guy." I couldn't help but shiver out of remembrance from what happened on that last mission with the bug lover, yet I couldn't help but chuckle. Letting a small smile creep across my face as I pushed off the cold railing and sauntered back into my tiny cramped apartment and shook my head having the slight urge to clean but decided against. "I'll do it when I get back….most likely not….ever." I shrugged to myself and began to remove the only article of clothing that clung to my lower half. I sighed and walked to the bathroom and hunched over the sink letting my forearms rest on the outer rim of the sink and tuned on the hot water. I stared at the running water as if in a trance and for some reason my mind wondered to what I had confessed to Tsunade last night. I gave myself a mental shake and turned off the water having already forgotten why I turned it on in the first place, I soon found myself walking out of the bathroom and stopped. "What….was I doing again?" I asked myself while looking around "So it's one of those days…." I murmured to myself and turned on my heel back into the bathroom and tried my best to get ready as quickly as possible.

With Gaara

Gaara found himself rummaging through the cabinets that were newly stocked with food that Temari ever so graciously bought for him. It was unusual for him to even go near food in the morning but he had a sudden need to eat, his stomach had been hollowed by the sleepless night, and Gaara felt impatient to say the least. His mind had chosen to stay active as he thought about his so called with the said blond and his confession, which made him either scrunch up his face out of embarrassment or smile out of excitement.

What Naruto had not known was, Tsunade had given him a message later on after their little dispute or discussion. The message had given the young Kazekage permission to take Naruto to Suna for a few weeks which would start once they arrived in Suna, while the elders from all over got together to discuss important matters. Gaara had attended his fair share of these meetings and had planned on attending this one but he had a feeling that the hokage had her own reasons for requesting this of him. However this was more than fine and presented an array of opportunities to woo the said blonde into perhaps feeling the same way about him as he felt for Naruto.

Gaara pushed aside the things that didn't look appealing to him as he finally found an item to his liking, Gaara sighed as he pulled out the store bought plain onigiri as he plucked one of them from its container tugging at the plastic wrapping.

The red head tore at the plastic incasing and took a bight chewing it slowly and methodically as events of last night began to replay within his head. Gaara swallowed and looked at the partially eaten item in his hand with a blank expression, "Naruto….did I perhaps go too far…..maybe I was bit force full." He said allowed to himself while turning his back to the counter letting his lower back rest while taking another small bite of the rice. As he chewed he started off into space in the direction of the floor.

"Oi Gaara please refrain from burning holes into the floor of this Inn keep in mind that this place does not belong to use." Said Kankuro, the red head snapped his attention to his older brother with the same look he had given the floor. Kankuro was dressed in a long sleeved shirt and tightly fitted black pants the stopped short at his ankles which lead down to his bare feet. His face had not trace of the purple make up that he wore for day in and day out, and his hair was shaggy brown mess.

Gaara shook his head at his older brother's appearance an reassumed his attention back to the half-eaten Onigiri. "Tch whatever." Kankuro growled as he scratched at the side of head while walking over lazily to the refrigerator and started into it for a few seconds then pulled out a water bottle, then closed the refrigerator door and pressed his back against the cool door and let out a sigh. "Listen Gaara…..since I am your older brother as well as your personal guard I believe that I should be entitled to give you a word or two of advice." He said while braking the seal of the bottle before taking a swig.

Gaara eyed his brother with a blank expression that held a hint of curiosity within his eyes, Kankuro sighed and pushed himself off from where he was and stood in front of the red head. "Gaara I realize that you have come quite a long ways ever since coming to this village and meeting Naruto and that is a great thing it truly is." Kankuro paused and looked to the side trying to find the right words to say.

"what I am trying to say is that I support you and I feel as If I should tell you this….love takes time…a very long time and you need patience a lot of patients the best that you can do at this point is be you and be firm with what you want without being to overly baring….."

Kankuro started at his water bottle as he said this and sighed again, " Just know that I have your back no matter what you decide to do, you mean a lot to me Gaara." At this point Gaara was staring at his older brother with a small smile that rarely seemed to grace his unmoving features which caused Kankuro to be taken a little back at what he had just seen.

"Kankuro?" Gaara asked

"W-what?"

"Thank you."

"tch…..whatever." Kankuro blushed and left the kitchen muttering to himself.

Meanwhile with Sasuke aka (

There was a district in the heart of the hidden leaf village, a place where the lights never seemed to partake in the diming night of the rest of the village. People were sleepless. Hustle and Bustle, fervency filled the whole entire district with boisterous bars filled with music, along with night clubs that where open all day and all night. There were high end restaurants and luxurious hotels that seemed as if they could be found all throughout this specific side of town. This was a place for people to either make it or break it the cash flow was like watching rain fall it kept coming and continued to come.

It was day time the sun was hidden behind a small cloud with the sun's rays poking out through the breaks of the cloud, but overall the day was cold but peaceful and Sasuke felt at ease as he walked through this part of his old home. As for why Sasuke was here, he had felt the need to collect himself before presenting himself to the hokage herself he needed to establish a peace of mind with himself it had been a while since he had seen the woman and he knew that it was not going be easy. Sasuke sighed and continued to walk through letting his mind wonder off to thoughts of Naruto he was doing this for Naruto, Sasuke bit his lower lip as he began to conjure up a plan of some sort from of a plan but nothing had come. For once the young Uchiha was stumped and had no inkling of a clue on what to do.

Sasuke shook his head and looked around he had somehow ended up making his way to the Hokage tower in a matter of minutes. The newly chocolate brown haired Uchiha ran his fingers through his hair and eyed the newly painted building with a look of irritation as he walked over to one of the hidden leaf villages guards that was standing at the base of the stairs that led up to the first floor.

As Sasuke got closer he noted that this guard looked vaguely familiar, but couldn't exactly put a name to match the younger male that stood before him. He looked vaguely familiar it was a person that Sasuke had not spoken to very much but he knew that his primarily based off of Naruto. What was his name?...Shika…..Shikamaru, if the man was indeed Shikimaru then this could indeed present a problem.

"Hey you?!" said the lazy ninja as he took a few steps towards Sasuke

"Yes you...what a drag." He said as he stopped just a few feet away from the newly chocolate haired raven.

"I am here to see the Hokage." Came his short reply

Shikimaru stared at the man before him letting his eyes take in his looks and movement as if he was analyzing a document. The dark haired boy shoved his hands in his pants pocket and continued to start at the Uchiha with a squinted bored expression forever present on his exhausted features.

"May I ask what it's regarded to?" he lazily drawled out

Sasuke merely shook his head, "That is between the Hokage and I." came his short reply Shikimaru made a face, "I'm going to need a lot more than that in order to let you see her to Hokage is busy woman." He said rubbing the back of his head while kicking a nearby pebble. Sasuke gritted his teach as his patience was beginning to start to were unnaturally thin. "Tell her Usui Ukirada is here." Shikimaru gave Sauske a pointed look before turning around and began to walk up the stairs and waved a hand behind him. "Wait here." Was all he said as he disappeared behind the curved stair case that led up to the Hokage's floor level.

Sasuke stared at the spot that was once occupied by the man before him and waited patiently for the other to return. Sasuke stood there for a few minutes thinking of what was about to transpire, he had remembered that his current disguise was created by Orochimaru for the snake had already given him an identity, a rank and a fake background. Leaving him with the responsibility of coming up with a story as to why he was here. But it was easier said than done this woman was after all the hokage of the strongest village making her a worthy opponent, yet I bared no ill will towards this woman she was respected, feared and loved by his dobe and that was all the more reason for him to do his best in making her believe that he was just merely a hidden mist nin that was here on leave to stay in Konoha for a few months or so which would be proven rather difficult considering that his Sharingan could only keep him transformed for limited times of the day.

Not to mention that he would have to keep referring to himself as Usui Ukirada, yet another challenging task but above all was Gaara at this point and time. Gaara no Sabaku the monster of the hidden sand village, and a very strong one at that, Sasuke could remember the first time he had met the red head, not that he would admit to anyone but Gaara and actually frightened him that day he had a strong uneasy feeling that would make any normal person cringe. Yet to think that he had set his sights on his Naruto made the young Uchiha's blood boil in disgust, rage and furry. Sasuke would not back down nor would he tolerate such a farce, not like when he had first met Gaara.

Flash Back

Sasuke eyed the scene, to think that these three shinobi whom he had never seen before, would partake in such an action such as resorting to bullying a child seemed to put the young Uchiha in a state of amusement. Frankly the raven haired teen could have cared less about the young brown haired blue scarf wearing boy. But once he caught sight of his a certain blond haired boy ranting and yelling at the three to stop he couldn't help but cease this opportunity to impress the blubbering blond.

Sasuke eyed the ground then looked at the one shinobi that was currently holding the younger male captive then looked back toward the ground again and in one fluid motion picked up a pebbled tossed it in the air caught it and flicked it with his thumb towards the cat like shinobi earning a yelp and a few curses as he instantly let go of the boy. Sasuke smirked in further amusement as he watched the brown hair boy instantly retreat as he ran over to Naruto and clung to his back side. This caused Sasuke to scowl but it was instantly gone the moment he felt something dark and ominous almost as if it was the aurora of a killer. His attention instantly flickered over to the shortest of the three that stood before him.

The boy that was mere feet away was unnaturally pale skinned, his hair was that of a blood painted sky. Dark, black markings circled around evenly around his almond shaped eyes, along with Jade milky green orbs fixed him with a look that radiated death. The look within his eyes struck a nerve within him they reminded him of the look Itachi had given him on the night that he had killed all of the Uchiha clan.

The red head seemed to be analyzing him in a way that made him feel slightly uneasy, Sasuke gave himself a mental shake and shoved his hands in his pocket at and gave his best Uchiha I am your superior look and said. "You what is your name?" Sasuke asked as he felt a spike in the shorter male's chakra level almost as if it was excited, either way this guy's chakra level was dangerously high he didn't even need to activate his sharingan to see it.

"I am Sabaku Gaara…I am also interested in hearing your name." Gaara replied his green eyes seemed to narrow with anticipation. Sasuke almost frowned at this yet kept his nonmoving features in check as he introduced himself giving Gaara a slanted look that made the Uchiha look more stuck up than usual. "Uchiha Sasuke." Came his short reply

"Sasuke…Uchiha." He said almost as if in question

That was when Naruto decided to speak up having sensed the tension between the two, he decided to speak loudly now mind you. Gaara's eyes immediately flickered over the loud mouthed shinobi his gaze lingering on the said blonde way too much for the ravens own liking as the red head made eye contact with the young Uzumaki Sasuke suddenly felt something within him beginning to stir. He knew he felt uneasy towards the red head and he also knew that something about the way he was looking at Naruto did not exactly bode well with the young Uchiha. As he felt another spike in Gaara's chakra as he eyed the blue eyed fox boy.

Teeth gritted together furiously out of anger despite the fact that his mind was telling him that this shinobi meant serious trouble. "dobe lets go." Sasuke bit out as calmly as he could as he walked over the confused and slightly blushing idiot. "Y-ya." Came Naruto's short reply as he turned and began to walk away. Sasuke stopped as he felt the chakra level from behind turn even more deadly than before, Sasuke took this opportunity to steal a glance at the red head only to be met with steely green narrowed eyes. Sasuke could honestly say he had never truly felt fear this much since he last saw his brother standing over the dead bodies of both of their parents.

This shinobi was obviously powerful and it gave Sasuke an almost sadistic rush within him, but at the same time made him feel concerned this was obviously not your normal everyday sparring partner this felt real. Yet the raven felt the need to punish the red head for giving Naruto that look it just didn't feel right and for that the Uchiha was pissed.

End of Flash back

Sasuke clenched his jaw tightly at the memory his eyes glued to the ground out of frustration, when it came down to it Gaara was an intelligent strong fighter that is indeed a kage. Sasuke bit at his lip and his eyes slid themselves closed. Sasuke was brought out of his short musings by the sound of a clearing throat which indeed belonged to the ninja he had spoken with earlier.

"Lady Tsunade said she has been expecting you lets go."

"hn…"

Naruto

Naruto casually walked through the quiet streets of Konoha with his hands clasped securely behind his head, and a tune in his head he somehow felt energized, nervous and strangely at ease all in the same moment. Naruto found himself walking faster and faster with each given stride and soon found himself jogging feeling the cold morning air rush past him as it nipped away all the traces of pent up agitation, and before he knew it he had reached to gates of Konoha only to see Temari leaned up against the gate with an agitated look.

Naruto slowed his pace down to a steady walk as he did his best to avoid the female that was obviously not exactly in the best of moods. Naruto crept around her and opted for the opposite side from the brooding woman, Naruto clasped his hands back behind his head and leaned against the gate while tilting his head up to the clear blue sky. I wonder where that Gaara is? I couldn't be that early could I? Naruto glanced around the area only to see that there was no red head to be found.

"He isn't here." The blond huffed

Naruto slightly jumped at the woman's sudden cold tone and nodded his head

"y-ya thanks."

There was a slight tension in the air that seemed to become more and more stifling by the second. Geez what is with this woman? What did I ever do to her? Naruto thought as he stole a pointed stare at the blond.

Temari clenched her teeth trying her best not to be upset due to last night's when she had spoken to Gaara on getting his work done. Not to mention he had given her direct orders to stay at the gate and keep Naruto Company while he was on his way to the Hokage tower. Temari sighed and looked up towards the sky with slightly concerned eyes. I hope this works out…please let it work….. She thought to herself as she watched white puffs of hair disappear into the crisp morning air.

Gaara

"Kankuro I want you to wait here outside the door while I speak with the Hokage." Said Gaara as he faced his elder brother. Kankuro gave an unamused scoff, "Why do you always have to leave me outside its almost as if you think of me as a dog." Kankuro murmured under his breath as he leaned himself up against the wall next to the open door to the Hokage's office. Gaara gave a small smile, "Because you are a good boy Kankuro and you remain where I put you." Gaara replied leaving his elder brother to fully register what had just been said to him as he closed the door behind him as he once again faced Tsunade.

"What is it Kazekage? Naruto going with you to the sand village isn't enough for you?" Tsunade scowled as she placed one of the documents she had been looking at the side. Gaara sighed and placed his hands on her desk earing an eye brow lift from the large breasted woman. Which caused him to retract his hands and cross his arms across his chest eyeing the woman carefully.

"No it is not that." Gaara paused and shifted his eyes to the desk in front of him then back to the honey colored eyes of the Hokage. "If possible I would like to keep Naruto for a month in my village, a few weeks does not give me time to leave a good fair impression on him."

Tsunade merely closed her eyes waiting for him to continue, "I am not too familiar with the emotion known as love….yet I am aware that it indeed does take time to form what I feel for him Is love and I want him to be able to feel the same way as I feel about him." The red head stopped and placed a fixed stare at the woman before him his jaded eyes had a determined and meaningful glint within them.

Tsunade leaned forward and clasped her hands together while resting her chin on top of the intertwined hands. "You make a compelling statement that is more than reasonable, however would it truly be wise to let Naruto out of the village for so long? Even if the Akatsuki's actions put on hold I am still concerned for his safety even if he is with you." She said leaning back in her chair folding her arms over her chest her eyebrows knitted together out of concentration.

Gaara nodded but decided to press the matter a bit further. "I can assure you that he would be more than safe, if it is any consolation I could perhaps partake in using any of the leaf shinobi." He said as his voice seemed more desperate by the second, "Hokage-same if I-" Tsunade held up her hand making the blood haired boy in front of her instantly turn quiet. "Gaara." She paused letting his name hang there like a threat looming over his head, she continued I will allow Naruto to spend one month with you in Suna. But I will personally assemble a squad of my choosing for a personal escort to Suns is that understood?" she asked her voice holding a commanding air that made it impossible for the boy before her to refuse her order. Gaara didn't bother to hesitate as he gave a curt nod. Tsunade leaned back in her chair with a sigh and closed her eyes once more until there was a small barely audible nock at the door.

"what is it?" she said as she narrowed her eyes at the slightly ajar door, only to be met with the lazy eyes of Shikimaru Nara. Tsunade motioned for the black haired boy to come in, Shikimaru merely nodded and pushed the door completely open and walked in with one hand shoved deep into his pocket while the other was digging for gold in his hear so to speak.

"Lady Tsunade there is a Usui Ukirada here to see you." Shikmaru drawled out lazily as he then momentarily turned his attention over the red head that was standing in front of the Hokage's desk. "Oh Gaara I didn't know that you where here." He said as he soon found himself yawning, Gaara nodded in response. "It is good to see you again Shikimaru Nara." He replied and then assumed his attention back to the woman before him.

Tsunade lifted an eyebrow Usui Ukirada? Where have I heard that name before? It couldn't be…yes. She thought to herself, "Yes send him in." she spoke with a slight sense of urgency that sent the younger boy right back out of her office.

Gaara almost frowned in question but decided against it, but as if sensing his lingering unvoiced question the blond haired woman answered him. "He is an important Ninja from the Hidden mist village a very strong one form what I have been told along with reports, I have been expecting him but he is a bit early." At this Tsunade furrowed her brows as he kept her eyes glued to the door as she waited patiently.

Gaara did the same thing with equal curiosity as he too locked his gaze upon the door, and sure enough another light knock was heard. "Come in." Tsunade spoke with a strong air of authority, while Shikimaru entered the room once more with a boy that Gaara had never seen before trailing not too far behind and Gaara instantly felt a strong almost faint dislike to the boy even though this was their first meeting. Gaara found himself staring, the boy seemed relatively young around the same age as Naruto he had light chocolate brown hair that was slicked back with two strands of hair that came out on either side. His eyes were almond shaped and matched the same color as his hair. He was not to incredibly pale but was on the cusp of being so. He was tall and built anyone could see that even though he had a dark grey cloak over a white shirt with a light grey vest and black long pants that came down hugging his ankles followed by black nin shoes.

Over all this ninja was good looking but he didn't sit well with the young Kazekage, and for a brief moment there eyes met and Gaara could have sworn he saw a flash of killer intent through those chocolate eyes. Yet it was gone just as quickly as it appeared, and the other had decided to separate his gaze as he met with the Hokage's instead.

"It is good to see you Hokage-sama." He spoke his voice deep yet soft spoken

Tsunade smiled pleased with the respect she had received, "It is good to see you as well Usui Ukirada I see that you have made it and early I must add." She replied

Usui gave a curt nod. "Yes why of course I would not want to give you the wrong impression." He said giving a small amused smirk.

Tsunade hummed in agreement. "Very good before we get down to business there is someone I would like for you to meet." Tsunade jerked her chin in Gaara's direction. "This is Lord Gaara the Kazekage of the Hidden sand village in Suna." As she spoke Usui turned and squared his shoulders evenly with the man before him and gave a light bow, "It is a pleasure to meet you lord Kazekage." Gaara bowed "Likewise." He replied Usui started at him a little longer as if analyzing him and turned back to Tsunade, "Now that you are here Ukirada I need you to do me a favor I have assigned you to an escort mission it's a B ranked mission." Usui stared but urged the woman to continue, "You are going to be escorting two the Kazekage back to the hidden sand village I have already chosen who I want to come along with you on this voyage. If you chose to except you will be departing immediately is that understood?" Tsunade asked her voice stern and direct.

Usui merely nodded and bowed and Gaara couldn't help but notice a small smile creep in Usui's features.

"I accept." He responded

"Good there will be a team that will meet you at the gates please escort Lord Gaara there." She ordered "And Gaara I will see you within a month's time." Gaara nodded and turned his back on the Hokage and left with Usui just a few feet behind him.

"Something feels off about this guy Lady Tsunade….I don't know what it is but it just doesn't feel right." Shikimaru yawned

"Shikimaru?" she boomed causing the dark haired teen to wince

"Yes?" he said almost annoyed with the fact that she had completely ignored what he had said

"I want the following Shinobi added to this mission, Sai and Sakura Haruno is that clear?" she asked while giving him a sideways glance. Shikimaru sighed and mentally cursed all women in his mind while leaving the Hokage tower he thought back on the short interaction between Garara and Usui and frowned something did not feel right.

"tch…..how troublesome." He said allowed

Sasuke (Usui Ukirada)

Sasuke found himself trailing behind Gaara his eyes glued to the back of the red heads head as if trying to burn holes within his skull. While doing his best to keep calm while swirling thought of death seemed to be the only thing currently occupying his mind while his face remained impassive.

How dare this man try to take away what he had been working towards this whole time, when Sasuke had left this village he had full intentions on fortifying a full-fledged bond he missed the times he had with the blond and wanted them back. Of course Sasuke new that he couldn't just go up to Naruto and demand that he take him back and teach him how to love and be kind to others but, he wanted that again with the blond and so much more. Sasuke closed his eyes and focused on the sound of Gaara's feet shuffle lightly through the streets towards the main entrance of the village. But first he had to remove what was in front of him the Uchiha new not to underestimate his opponent twice let alone once.

When they had fought with one another at the Kage summit Sasuke was to pumped up with adrenaline and his sanity levels where decreasing by the second leavening the rational part of his brain nowhere even remotely accessible during that point and time. Sasuke sighed and opened his eyes to the sudden lack of movement from the red head in front of him, Sasuke raised an eyebrow at this and looked around at his surroundings. They were in the restaurant part of town meaning that they were relatively close to the main gates, yet he was confused why had he chosen to stop here of all places.

"I am aware of the fact that it is a kazekage's duty to always be punctual but could you perhaps spare a few minutes and have tea with me?" Gaara said his whole body still facing forward as he spoke. Sasuke was a bit taken back he had to admit but Sasuke merely decided to comply, "I don't see a reason as to why not." He replied as the two of the men made their way to a nearby tea house.

The two sat at in a dark corner at the entrance of the small tea house, while waiting for their orders the two seemed to be sizing up one another. "Usui correct?" Gaara asked

"Yes."

"….."

"….."

"I wanted to speak with you in regards to this mission it is very important to me." Gaara said

Sasuke lifted a brow and Gaara continued with his explanation, "I am currently in the midst of trying to earn the love of another who is going to be staying with me in Suna for a while I was wondering….." Gaara paused and looked around as if trying to find his words on the walls of the tiny restaurant. Sasuke found himself clawing at the underside of the small tea table and his eyes staring deeply into jaded eyes.

Gaara stopped in mid-sentence as he saw an old woman place two steaming tea cups on the table before them and left silently. Sasuke immediately reached for his using the warmth to calm his nerves, what could he possibly want with someone he just met? He thought to himself as he took a small sip of the hot drink as it seemed to send relaxing tingles down his spine as Gaara continued to speak.

"I was wondering if you could perhaps give me….any…..pointers." Gaara whispered almost timidly as a small blush seemed to dust over his strong features as he looked off to the side out of embarrassment. When Sasuke first heard the red head begin to speak, Sasuke thought nothing of trying his best to bullshit his way through this conversation without lashing out. But by the end of the sentence he was heavily coughing after a deep intake of hot tea. Did he really just ask me to give him pointers? And blush no less?! Sasuke's head shot up after his coughing fit giving him a look of almost pain.

Gaara gave a look slight embarrassment, "Why would you ask me? A complete stranger no less?" he choked out while clearing his throat. Gaara seemed to stiffen as he seemed to be struggling to answer the question. "Because I want to make this right…for him." He spoke slowly as if trying to still find the right words to say. Sasuke gritted his teeth as he felt the possessive overbearing side of him begin to emerge, "Can I get back to you on that?" he grounded out, the red head nodded and sipped his tea slowly for about a few more minutes then stood up and left the bill on the table.

Sasuke and Gaara walked out of the small tea house after giving their thanks, the two walked down the streets while Sasuke put a good distance between the two not wanting to do something that he would he regret later. Finally the two made it to the gate to find Sai, Sakura, Kankuro, Temari and Shikimaru standing huddled together.

Sasuke looked around trying to find his blond bundle of happiness, Gaara seemed to be having the same thoughts because the first thing out of his mouth when he approached the group was. "Where is Naruto?" his voice was low and sad Sasuke silently bristled at this but maintained his calm composure.

Shikimaru sighed and rubbed the back of his head. "He went to get a late breakfast at Ichiraku." Came his short reply. "That idiot once I get my hands on him he's dead." A certain pinket growled as she closed her fist tightly with an angered look in her eyes, Sasuke gave a distasteful look toward the girl and shook his head. "Now now Sakura, don't blame you can't blame Naruto for being hungry." Sai said with a worried small smile for the blonde's safety. "The hell I can't!" She snapped turning her anger toward the Sasuke look alike.

Gaara growled at this as his expression turned cold, "I would appreciate if you would not make such a crude remark about your own comrade," he said his green jaded eyes turning to ice as he turned them onto the kunoichi Sakura backed a few steps away her face in a ray of horror and fear. Sasuke also glared daggers at the pink woman doing his best not say anything or do anything reckless.

"Eto…..who is this?" Sai asked quietly as he shifted his dark gaze to where Sasuke was standing. Shikimaru cleared his throat in an attempt to cut some of the tension and proceeded to answer Sai's question. "This is Usui Ukirada a hidden mist nin that will be working accompanying us on thus mission to escort Gaara and Naruto to Suna.

Everyone's eyes shifted to where Sasuke was standing and Sasuke felt strange to say the least. "Yes my name Usui Ukirada and it will be a pleasure working with all of you." He stated giving everyone a look over.

"I'm Kankuro." Said the purple face painted boy

"The name is Temari.' Said the blond with a sultry look towards the young Uchiha

"Hello my name is Sai." He said letting a fake smile break out over his pale features

"h-hi I'm Sakura, Sakura Haruno." She giggled giving a slight blush, Sasuke resisted the urge to vomit,

"and as you already know I'm Shikimaru." Said the lazy shadow user.

"And I am Naruto Uzumkai!." Came a loud cheerful voice from behind where Sasuke was currently standing. The newly chocolate haired raven was surprised he hadn't sensed Naruto coming let alone heard him. Sasuke felt routed in place as if his body didn't want to move, Sasuke silently growled at himself and forced himself to turn around and as he did so his breath hitched itself right in his throat.

It had been months since Sasuke had last seen Uzumkai Naruto, his image from back then didn't do the blond any justice from what he saw in front of him at this very moment. Naruto had become even more beautiful close up in the last 5 months, Sasuke once again like so many other times before found himself staring down into bright blue eyes where filled with happiness, the scars on his cheeks seemed to have gotten bolder and matched perfectly with his caramelized skin. His jaw line had become more defined as most of his baby fat seemed to be almost completely gone. His blond sin kissed hair framed his face perfectly as its spikes seemed to jut out at every which way. His lips where plump and screaming kissable beyond belief but his eyes, wide clear and vivid ocean blue were staring at him with curiosity as he continued to stare, and his body…..

Sasuke was soon brought out of his trance by a tan hand that was waving in front of his face. "ne are you alright?" Naruto asked concerned blue eyes met brown "…yes" Sasuke said almost as if unsure of himself Naruto flashed him a grin. "nice to meet you….eto…. what was your name again?" Naruto asked looking off to the side. "Usui…Usui Ukirada." Said Sasuke still speaking in an uncertain tone. "Ah Usui that's it well…still nice to meet you." Naruto said enthusiastically while flashing one of his signature smiles.

"Naruto it's good to see you again." Sasuke tensed and Naruto blushed, while facing his body towards Gaara but not looking at him directly, 'It's good to see you to Gaara." Naruto whispered letting his blond locks cover his face, this seemed to amuse the red head greatly because he pressed further as Gaara made his way the blushing blond stopping a few inches away from him as he leaned in letting his mouth tickle the side of his ear. 'Especially after last night." He whispered Naruto turned red as a tomato immediately jumped back and started to wave his hands in the air frantically and sputtered and tripped over his own words. This elicited further amusement within Gaara and brought out boiling rage within Sasuke."

This meant war….

K-Sama: Man what a drag that took longer than expected

Sasuke: There is no way you are letting that red head take Naruto form me

K-Sama: are you threatening me cause I will make it so you don't get any of Naruto-Kun's sweet fine ass is that understood?

Sasuke: hn…

Naruto: ano….can the football say something?

K-Sama and Sasuke: No!
