*waves slowly* hey guys!

How ya been? Good? That's good.

Well after that fiasco with my two fanfics I needed some time to myself. now that im back I was able to milk this out for ya!

It may not be much but I'm sure you guys wil like it :)

Have any suggestions feel free to write them down in the review.

I do have one request though: PLEASE! Do not leave any 'Update more' in the comments. I write for feedback not for someone to just demand updates. I know it sounds childish or downright selfish but it leads me to believe that no one is even reading what I write. The same goes with my 'Do not fave and run' policy. do that and I will never update.

A bird soared through the skies, letting out its high-pitched cries as its wings flapped.

A young woman was standing behind her students as they panted from the rigorous training she enforced on them. Hearing the bird, she looked up.

'Now what?'

Somewhere another jonin was watching the same bird.

'Now's the time.'

He looked over at his young students before making up his mind.

"Konohamaru!"

Naruto yelled as his young friend was abruptly hoisted up from the ground by the older boy he had just run into. He, Ana and the three young academy students were running away from a fired up Sakura when Konohamaru accidently bumped into a stranger in one of the open alleys.

Udon and Moegi huddled together in fright of the two individuals –a boy in a kabuki puppeteer outfit with face paint and a girl in a white dress, four blonde pigtails and a giant fan strapped to her back- they had encountered after trying to run away from their boss's teammate.

"You've done it this time Sakura!" Ana whispered to her teammate in a harsh tone. She and said girl were standing behind Naruto.

For once Sakura didn't try to counter back for she knew that the girl's words were true. Her temper finally led them to trouble.

Konohamaru made a grunt and tried to kick the older boy but to no avail, "Put me down!"

Taking an uneasy step forward Sakura tried to reason with them, "I'm sorry. It was my fault."

The individuals did not listen but they did give the girl cold stares that gave her the chills.

'Who are they? What are they?'

The blonde girl looked around and gave an annoyed look at her teammate, "Put him down Kankuro or you'll get it later."

Ana immediately set her guard up and gave Naruto a side glance, hoping that he wouldn't do something drastic but knowing him all her life he would.

"Let him go you shitface!" the blonde yelled.

The boy named Kankuro finally noticed the head band on Naruto's head and smirked.

'So this is Konoha's finest.'

"We got a while before he gets here so how about we teach this punk a lesson?"

His grip tightened on Konohamaru's collar who made a pained sound.

"Fine," The girl huffed and turned her head, "Do what you want I'm not responsible."

Immediately Naruto charged at him, "I said let him-"

As he did, Ana noticed the other guy's hand moving in a strange way and felt chakra escape from the tips of the fingers.

"Naru stop!"

After a small stumble he did, just barely missing the trap. He looked at his friend and then looked at Kankuro.

"Hm, I'm impressed," He said with a slight hint of amusement, "guess Konoha's genin are not as dumb as I thought."

Immediately Sakura became alert, 'So they are foreigners! I knew it!'

"I'd put him down if I were you," Ana spoke with a defiant spark in her eyes, "Unless you want to cause diplomatic problems."

She could only hope that one of her teammates noticed.

Naruto's eyes widened and looked at the stranger's headband. The symbol was not of Konoha but of a neighboring village.

"Yea!" He yelled, "That kid is the grandson of our Hokage!"

Hearing those words made Kankuro immediately drop Konohamaru who ran to Naruto.

"Thanks boss!" For once he was going to let it slide that his birthright was revealed.

Naruto didn't say anything but instead gave him a small gesture that told the boy to leave along with his friends. They ran off leaving the three genin alone with the two foreigners.

'So even he noticed,' Sakura thought.

Kankuro spat on the ground and walked toward Naruto, "Since that kids is gone-"

He clenched his hand in a fist and raised it.

"- you'll have to do!"

Before Naruto or the girls could react, a small object came flying in and hit Kankuro's hand. HE flinched and grabbed his hand he then looked at what had hit him.

It was a pebble, a small white pebble.

It was thrown with enough force that it not only knocked Kankuro's hand down it also scratched his hand that it caused a small amount of bleeding.

"You're a long way from home," a new voice said making the ninjas look towards a tree.

Sitting on the branch was none other than Sasuke. He held another rock in his hand and was tossing it in the air before catching it again. His instinct were correct when he felt the urge to go to his sister and teammates. But it wasn't the same strong presence he felt earlier.

Still he continued to glare down Kankuro, "And you're way out of your league."

Sakura brightened up at the sight of her dream guy, "SASUKE-KUN!"

'That was my ear Sakura,' Ana thought while gently rubbing her ear.

Naruto just glared but he sighed, 'Show off.'

Kankuro gritted his teeth, he was slightly embarrassed that he was taken down by a small pebble but he refused to let it show on his face.

The blonde girl on the other hand just smirked and had a small blush appear on her face, 'He's pretty cool.'

Still holding his hand, Kankuro growled, "great another brat."

Sasuke responded by crushing the poor rock with his bare hands, "Beat it."

He opened his hand to let the rock dust fall.

"So cool," Sakura said dreamily.

'At least Konohamaru was not here to see that,' Naruto thought to himself, he didn't want his only admirer to think he was uncool.

"Hey punk!" Kankuro called out, "Get down here!"

Sasuke just glared down in defiance.

That was when Ana had enough called out to the foreign ninja.

"Hey! That's my brother you're yelling at!"

She stepped forward with a searing glare that only a woman can possess. It did not faze him one bit for he smirked at the sight.

"So he's going to let you fight his battles for him huh?"

Ana scoffed and stuffed her hands in her pocket becoming the spitting image of her other half.

"Only when he doesn't want to waste his time and energy on a punkass like you."

"What did you say?!" Kankuro gripped onto the strap that held the large object on his back.

'So he's the kind that gets provoked easily,' Naruto thought.

"You heard me," Ana talked back, "Brother is special. It would be a disgrace if he picked a fight with a small di-"

Naruto planted his hand over Ana's mouth. He knew that his friend had a mouth but he also knew that sometimes she would say things she should not say. He let go and looked back at the two.

Having enough of the little brat, Kankuro finally removed the object from his back, "its kids like that piss me off the most."

"Seriously?!" The older girl exclaimed, "You're going to use the crow?"

The question was ignored, Kankuro was beyond mad to even listen. The four younger genin began to prepare themselves for a fight.

"Kankuro, that's enough."

A new voice echoed out. It had a chill that gave everyone goosebumps.

For Sasuke it had more of an impact on him, it was the presence he felt. The voice was right beside him. On the other side of the tree.

Naruto, Sakura and Ana followed the location of the voice.

Standing upside down on a branch was boy around their age he black full body suit with t-shirt-like sleeves and a gourd was strapped to his back. He had reddish brown hair and green teal eyes, around them were black rings. He had his arms crossed and spoke again.

"You're an embarrassment to our village."

Once again his voice sent chills down everyone's spines but it gave Kankuro a reason to fear.

He gulped, "Umm… Hey Gaara."

Ana gasped and gave the boy on the tree a closer look.

'Gaara?!'

R&R please!
