Chapter One

The Arrival

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto….there I said so could you stop pointing the guns at me.

Two figures raced through the forest towards a village surrounded by gates. The figures soon slowed and landed on a branch concealed from the village's view.

"It seems so peaceful," A female voice remarked from behind a golden dragon mask. Her blonde hair put up into buns. "Considering there is a war waging just miles away."

"Well..." A male voice stated from behind a golden fox mask, blonde hair shadowed his eyes. His unwavering gaze fell upon a mountain that symbolized the best Kohona had to offer. He briefly inclined his head to the newest face on the mountain. "We better go ruin the peaceful demeanor."

"Do you think Garra sent a message to the Hokage?" The women turned to her male companion with a questioning glance.

"It doesn't matter if he did or didn't we are here to make sure they know what's heading their way." He jumped down and was followed by companion. "Although I suspect they know where coming." With that the two figures took off towards the gate, and were shortly followed by two anbu. The two figures smirked to each other as they realized how unexpected their visit was and how much trouble they had caused. While the male was starting to have misgivings about the village. "Temari make sure not to kill the lazy ass while we are here, because we need that treaty at the moment." He whispered into the radio built into his mask.

The answer that he received started to make some of the tension he was feeling die down. "I won't do anything, but that doesn't mean Garra won't when he sees him." He started to chuckle to himself as he imagined Shikamaru running from Garra's sand. "And Naruto, don't kill anyone while we are here."

He chooses to remain silent as they reached the gate, and much to their relief was opening for them. But that relief was short lived when they saw a group of Anbu and Jounin, and most surprisingly the Hokage. With a quick glance around they notice that were surrounded.

One Anbu stepped forward and posed such a simple question, but the answer could easily get the two killed. "State your business with this village."

"We have an urgent message from the Kazekage to the Hokage of the Leaf." Temari replied from behind her mask.

"How-" The Anbu was cut off as the Hokage stepped towards the two sand nin. "Can you prove to us that you are from the Sand?" With that the male Sand nin produced a scroll form his pocket.

"This is the scroll baring the seal of the Kazekage." He then stepped forward and held the scroll out waiting for the Fifth to take it. All the while he went down in to a kneeling position in an attempt to show that he didn't mean any harm. The Hokage began to probe the scroll with her chakra checking for any traps. Once she was done she nodded her head to the Anbu directly behind the two nins.

"This gives you passage into the village, but when we reach the office I want you to explain to me exactly why you two are here." She then turned toward the gates and started to walk into the village. "Follow me, and put that scroll up for the time being."

The group set off towards the Hokage's Tower at a fast pace. They walked down a crowded market street. The people of the village stared at the precession with wonder. After all it wasn't every day tat their Hokage and a few Anbu escorted foreigners through the village. Some of the younger children followed behind sheepishly, wanting to greet their Hokage, but afraid to actually do so. Soon the precession arrived at the Tower, but instead of going in they stopped outside. "All Jounin are dismissed," and with that they continued into the building with out a few of its original members.
Temari briefly glanced over the villagers as she approached the Tower. She realized something had changed in their demeanor. Although she couldn't quite figure out what had changed, she wondered what had caused the change. As she looked over to her friend she noticed how his presence had changed. When they first arrived he had started to become more uncaring and more distant. However she wasn't able to think to deeply on the subject, because her thoughts had just been interrupted by the Hokage.

A/N: Slow chappie sorry about that well until next time see ya all later.
