*******Across the Dunes, the Moon Shines by Byakugan*******
******Chapter 0ne - A Dusty Journey
On the dunes of the Wind Country, one boy travels a path alone. After returning from the Leaf Village, Gaara decides to travel on his own, to find out if caring for others and having friends is stronger than being alone. Upon his dusty path Gaara looks back to his past.
****Flashback****
Temari says, " Gaara where are you going?" Gaara replies, " I'm leaving.I need to know the truth." Temari continues, " Your wounds haven't' healed yet, please go back to bed." Kankuro comes into the room and says, " Our sister is right, your wounds aren't healed yet and you can't go off into the desert to travel." Gaara interrupts. " It doesn't matter if my wounds aren't healed yet.because.I am the desert." Gaara approaches the door and begins to walk outside until his brother Kankuro grabs his arm. Kankuro tells Gaara, " Gaara don't' leave yet until your wounds are healed.just listen to your older brother." Gaara with an aggressive tone says, " If you don't let go of my arm I'll kill both of you." Temari replies to Gaara's threatening words, " Gaara please don't say such cruel things." She continues," we are just concerned about your welfare." Gaara angrily," You should be more concerned with this rat hole you call home." Gaara continues, " The wind country is now in chaos right now since the Hidden Sand and the Hidden Sound attacked the Hidden Leaf, the peace between the two major counties (Fire Country and Wind Country) aren't doing very well and the Wind country is having a tough time. So you shouldn't worry about me or else you won't be around to worry about anything." Gaara begins to give his brother a sinister look and forces his brother to release his grip. Gaara then walks out of the room. Kankuro was about to follow him until his sister says," Kankuro, let him go. He wants to be alone right now." Kankuro replies," Lets bid him a farewell then." Temari agrees and says, " okay". Gaara was walking towards the main entrance, until he hears his brother and sister say," Gaara wait". Gaara turns around and sees his siblings standing in front of him. Gaara speaks with a bitter tone, " I'm not going back to rest and you can't do anything about it even if I'm wounded." Temari replies," we're not here to take you back. We are hear to say good bye until you decide to come back." Both Kankuro and Temari tell Gaara, " Have a safe trip and come back when you feel the time is right." Gaara turns his back and says, "I will." As he walks away the sand around him begins to move behind him as he walks and soon begins to move towards his back and begins form the gourd that he used when was in the Leaf Village participating in the Chuunin Exam with his siblings. Gaara was now walking away from where his siblings stood into the windy dunes of the Wind Country with his gourd on his back. His siblings waited there until Gaara was out of sight and returned to their village, wishing Gaara the best of luck.
***The Present***
Gaara was soon wondering [why did I leave my home where no one liked me?] He wonders some more [It was until that time I found out that love was stronger than me being alone, when that Leaf ninja Naruto, defeated me when he was trying to protect his village and his friends. That is when he told me that love is makes you strong]. While Gaara was walking on a fixed path he hears a bunch of people screaming. He looked straight ahead to see a group of twelve ninjas that dressed in beige to blend into the surroundings attacking a caravan that had a woman, a little girl and a little boy and a man who was the father of the two kids. Gaara thinks to himself [They must be the bandit ninjas that rob caravans and travelers that take this road]. Gaara starts walks next to the bandits and begins to walk around them until one of them spots Gaara. "Hey kid, hold it right there", one of the bandit ninjas said very aggressively. The bandit continues," where do you think your going?" Gaara says bitterly," My business doesn't concern you". The bandit that was now pissed says," You better watch who you're talking to. We are the infamous Crimson Sand Ninjas." Gaara replies," You call yourselves ninja. I know for a fact that your skills are no where compared to mine." The beige ninja with a hysteric voice says," You.a ninja, don't make me laugh. Why would a ninja carry such a big object on his back and a red clothe that can be seen a mile a way." Gaara says," I have my reasons". The group of ninjas were now pissed at Gaara's remarks and all said," We're going to tear you limb from limb." Two ninja from the Crimson Sand Ninjas threw senbon (needles) and shurikens (ninja throwing stars) towards Gaara's direction. Gaara did not move to avoid the attack. The only thing he did was standing in one spot and allowing the thrown weapons to approach him. After the two ninja attacked, they said," We got him". The ninjas smirks became opened mouths when they saw their attack blocked by a wall of sand that positioned itself like a cocoon around him. Gaara says with a sinister tone in his voice," Is that all you have?" Gaara adds," I'll turn you all into CRIMSON Sand Ninjas". The group of ninjas immediately said," What the hell happened? That attack had to hit him directly. He didn't even move to avoid it." Gaara soon explains, " Suna Tate. Suna Tate is one of my unique abilities that protects me automatically without the use of chakra." Gaara continues," Let me show you another ability. The brown haired ninja says," Suna Bunshin no Jutsu." The sand around Gaara formed a replica that looked exactly like him in physical features but had the color of sand. The sand clone began to attack the two ninjas that attacked the real Gaara. Killing the two ninjas, the family of travelers became terrified that a sight that they have never seen in their lives. Now there were ten ninjas left. Nine of them drew their ninja swords and charged towards Gaara. Gaara releases the jutsu holding the Suna Bunshin together and without effort, he waved his hand in the direction of the bandits and made sand rush towards them engulfing them within the desert killing all nine of them.
Gaara soon after says," And then there was one." Gaara with terrifying eyes frightened the last remaining ninja. The ninja begins to plead for mercy. The ninja says," Please let me go, I didn't mean anything when I insulted you." Gaara not caring about the ninja's plead puts his two hands to together making his fingertips of his right hand touching his fingertips of his left hand. The ninja terrified at the strange gesture the ninja did not move because of his fear kept him stationary. Gaara continues his jutsu by releases his hand and makes his left hand show the index finger and his middle finger were together and his right hand into a gripping posture. Gaara says, " Sabaku Kyuu". Sand soon covered the ninja all over and left a small portion where the ninja could breathe and see. The family was very terrified at the power that the boy possessed. Gaara's hand moves upward in a diagonal angle towards the sky moving the encasement of sand along with the ninja in mid-air. Gaara tells the ninja encased in sand," Remember my name in the afterlife.Sabaku no Gaara". After those words Gaara makes a fist and says, "Sabaku SouSou". The ninja encased with in the sand exploded, splattering his blood all over the surrounding area. The family immediately turns away from the horrific sight. Afterwards the family was safe and when they turned to look at Gaara, he put his index finger and his middle finger together with his right hand, which turned his entire body into sand. Within seconds Gaara disappeared from the scene where the group of ninjas were massacred by Gaara and left before the family could thank him for saving them in a very horrifying way. Gaara begins to walk down the fixed path again in the desert, continuing his journey.
To learn what happens to Gaara on his journey get ready for the next chapter of "Across the Dunes, the Moon Shines".
