Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. However I own this plot, so if you want to do it, you better ask me for permission first, because I actually do have this under copyright. No, seriously.

Author's Note: I just thought of this now, and I haven't seen anything like this, so I'm going to write about it. Also, don't flame this...because there are no other stories like this, and I'm trying to do it right at least.

UPDATE: I've finally rewrote this. Wow, I can't believe it...For all the newbs, Kita-chan is a character by Rainejoybringer, as part of her Two-tailed Angel story. Go read it.

Start Chap

The Village Hidden in the Leaves was on red alert. You'd be like that too, if you had been declared war upon. Weapons were being issued, civilians being told what to do, and many of our Rookie friends were issuing orders. They weren't so rookie-ish anymore. They had not been, for at least a few years. Ninjas were rushing to and fro, and a tense air was upon everyone. Almost everyone.

A black robed figure stared out at the nighttime sky from the view of the top of Hokage tower, the cool night air teasing his face. He seemed to have been sitting there for quite a while. Suddenly, another black robed figure appeared at his side. They stayed like that, for quite a while, taking in the sight. The smaller of the two then put her head on his shoulder, and he said

"It was all so simple, back then. Right Kita-chan?"

He got a purr for a reply. He chuckled, and for a while, together, they got lost in memory.

Flashback(Around 6 years ago)

Gaara looked around him in a cold sweat as he woke up and sat up straight in his bed. He managed to wake up just in time. He had been asleep for exactly 20 seconds, and very nearly, everything he worked so hard for, everyone he tried to protect, would have ended. He sighed. All he wanted was to sleep, really. And he normally didn't have a problem with wanting to sleep. But...this...damned paperwork! He stared at the enormously huge pile on his desk, with a look of boredom and anxiety. He didn't want to be here. He wanted to be out there again, like he would sometimes on missions. Naruto was a moron for sure if this was his dream job. His brother and sister then walked into the room.

"Hello brother." his sister smiled at him. She smiled with a cheerful look on her normally dour face.

"You should be more happy, Temari. Maybe your lazy friend would notice you in a different way if you did so."

Immediately her face flushed, Kankuro chucked, and Gaara got his door slammed when she stormed out of the room.

"You should say stuff like that more often, Gaara. haha"

Immediately, Temari burst into the room. This time however, she had an extremely alarmed look on her face.

"Gaara, quickly, you have to pack, and get out of here!"

"What's wrong Temari? I can't leave, I have to protect everyone...and this" he said, pointing to the paperwork.

"No! The villagers have gone crazy! A few people that I'd never seen before riled up the town, instilling old fears and anger. They're going to try and kill you, again. You have to leave!"

"I can't leave! My duty is here!"

A swift glance from Temari to Kankuro and he knocked out Gaara with a blow to the head. Even the demon did not want to die for a village, and he made sure Gaara would get out of there. The brother and sister duo then packed up his stuff, and headed for Konoha.

End Flashback

A third figure then appeared beside the two of them.

"Yes, I remember too." And he sat down with his brother and sister, and they watched nothing together.

"Mine's was when I returned to this city, after being gone. I never would have thought that I would get hated on, let alone kicked out. Still, I'm grateful they did. Otherwise..."

"I know." she said reassuringly. "I know. But they did. And now, we are."

"Get up. I'm going to take you guys out for a night on the town."

"Where to?"

"I hope you feel like ramen.

As he said that, Naruto's thought's flashed back to when he met Gaara after the two got kicked out. Tsunade, Jiraiya, Temari, and Kanuro were with them. And under the stars, among the crickets...Akatsuki's Greatest Threat was born.
