A/N: This came from reading Pricat's story Kazekage's Ward. I ironically had the same ideas as her, so this isn't stealing.

Enjoy!


No one in the village like Leah when Naruto was done with the justu where Leah has the Nine-Tailed Fox inside of her now. Hinata asked her husband why he did that who said, "I know Leah will be able to control the beast. Like I did and gain his chakra."

That same day, Leah was returning to her Special Ed. Class Iruka taught after being caught by the Ninja Instructors. Leah also has a Learning Disability that causes her Processing skills slower than a normal person. After getting another lecture from her teacher, Leah went to her seat recieving glances and snickers from her classmates. In her class, Leah has the lowest grades that made the people in her class call her names and insult her.

Even though she's used to it, it could still bother her.


"Hey, guys. Did you hear? The Kazekage's coming to talk to the Sixth Hokage."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"I heard it's something important."

"It must be if the leader of the Suna Village is comin' here."

Leah was under the tree Naruto was under as a kid sitting on the swing and listening to what people were talking about.

"I wonder what that guy wants to talk to my dad about? Probably something majoy like they were saying or something. I don't know," Leah said to lightly swinging herself on the swing. "If it's a new person, I know they wouldn't want to talk to me. I mean, would would? I can't even hold a conversation worth jack."


"Gaara, my main man! What's up?" Naruto said seeing his friend walk to up him and givine the blonde a tight hand shake, "How've you been?"

"Pretty good. A few things happened here and there, but nothing big," Gaara said.

"Like what?" Naruto wondered who saw a young female with black hair, blue eyes, and a symbol cane in her left hand along with a timid look on her face.

"This is my daughter Carley. I adopted her when I found her hurt atthe age of seven," Gaara said surprising the Sixth Hokage.

"Wow. I guess that means you're a father, huh?"

"Yeah."

"Congrats, man!" Naruto cheered giving his friend a hug. "Wait. Are you here to gloat at me about you being a father 'cause I have kid I adopted myself! So, ha!"

"No, it's not that. I have to go to a meeting that will take me about a month to return from," Gaara explained.

"What's the metting about?" The whiskered Hokage asked.

"I need to talk to different villages about encouraging and helping people with different disabilities become ninjas since the rate of that is below 30 percent."

"I see. Hope it goes well. The kid I have has a Learning Disability and I think PDD-NOS, but I'm not sure. She's belittled by her peers because of it," Naruto said that made Carley's head slightly perk up from the comment.

'A Learning Disability?' Carley thought.

"Which is why I brought my daughter here. I want her to stay here in the village until I get back since no one in my village will go near her."

"That's fine with me. I have plenty of room in my house for her to stay. Maybe Carley can be friends with my daughter Leah," Naruto said with a smile on his face.

'...That would be nice, but I don't think that will be possible,' Carley sadly thought.

"That is a good possibility," Gaara said lightly smiling at when he and Naruto became good friends. The Kazekage looked at his watch to cheer the time, "I have to get going. Konkuro's waiting for me."

"Alright. It's been good talking to you, bro," Naruto said shaking Gaara's hand.

"Yeah, you, too," Gaara agreed walking up to Carley and kneeling down to her level, "Carley. I'll be back in about a month. During that time, will you promise me you'll try and make a friend here in the Leaf Village?"

Carley silently nodded and gave her father a hug. Naruto watched as the two hugged for a while bfore Gaara ended the embrace and left the room saying to Carley 'Goodbye' who waved to the red headed man.
