Drip...Drip...Drip...Drip...
He could hear the water dripping from a leaking pipe somewhere in the house but he was to tried to move from the position that he collapsed in on the bed.
He had been in hiding since he had failed to bring his so called brother back after the fight at the valley of the end, so here he was living in Suna for the past seven years and getting stronger and changing.
Garra was the first to notice something was wrong with his fellow jinchuuriki when the blonde boy came into the village without his team, as well as being dehydrated and in tattered clothes than looked more like rags than anything.
After the blonde had been taking care of in the hospital, Gaara had learn that the mission to bring Sasuke had been a failure and with no where else to turn to, he had ran and came here to someplace where someone understood the hate and pain of one's village.
So when the blonde had asked to become a Sand nin, Garra did it without any words, so here he was, after several years a Suna Jounin, his own village had long claimed him dead so it didn't brother him one bit, he rather be a ghost than a monster.
He had vowed never to go back to the village that hated him the most, but something he had heard wasn't sitting right, Sasuke had came back to the village under his own free will after killing Itachi and Orochimaru and was celebrated as a hero for getting rid of two very evil men.
Criminals, that is what Itachi and Orochimaru were, using other's for their own gain, Naruto than sighed than stood and stretched abit, he knew that it wasn't of his business anymore because he was no longer a konoha nin but he asked Garra if he could investigate on this matter.
Knowing Naruto, he would of done it anyways no matter what he had said, so Garra allowed Naruto as much time he needed to figure out if Sasuke was going to be a threat in the near future.
Naruto than walked over to his window and looked at the star covered dessert sky and would grin.
Konoha was holding a nice Halloween party the day he was to arrive, so it would be a great way to walk among the villagers unnoticed since everyone would be in costumes and whatnot.
Besides, Halloween was the day the dead could walk among the living after all.
