Match made in Suna

The kazekage must expand his clan, so he is to be betrothed to a skilled ninja. He calls upon Naruto's team of Sai, Sakura, Yamato, and Kakashi to find him his 'true love'. Kuurio is a hot-headed blonde with a short fuse and an attitude to boot, luckily, the matchmaker, Kakashi, Chooses her to be the red-heads lawfully wedded. Maybe he's right? Maybe it really is a 'Match Made in Suna'.

Chapter one: Arranged Marriage


Flat teal eyes looked unto the large curved ceiling of the cement building as he sat absently on the rough wooden seat listening to his elders talking nonchalantly to his sister and brother standing behind him crossing their arms.

"His wife will need to be a great ninja with broadened skills."

Wait, what?

He glanced slowly down at the wrinkled man and woman in front of him. He realized now they were planning his future of being kazekage.

A wife, an annoying and troublesome women being a bother; breathing down his neck going on and on about the little trivial things.

Pfft.

Of course, the redhead would not speak out about the act of him getting married, but his sister, Temari sure would.

"What, a wife, Garra-sama is only 16 years old!" Her pale face lit up red angrily and she threw her hands up in the air swooshing by her four blonde ponytails.

"Temari," Spoke Garra lowly, she was instantly quiet biting her lip and looking away.

"I'm fine with receiving a wife, but I do wish to meet her before I am betrothed."

The elders nodded quickly, "Of course kazekage-sama!" He nodded and stood, "Then we are done here. Come Kankuro, Temari."He began to walk out of the room with his two siblings following suit.

The guards at the large wooden doors parted, pulling it open letting the kazekage and his siblings through, then closing it behind themselves, bowing lightly.

He nodded at them and started down the hall slowly.

Temari knew better than to question her younger brother, he was the kazekage now, he could make decisions on his own, and he knew that if it was helpful to the village for him to have a wife, then by all means he would do it. She disagreed by her brothers notion, as faithful as she was to the village, but she was still unsure of him being wed.

She looked up at her brother walking smoothly, his red cloaks fanning out slightly behind him, the grey strips of his cloak holding it down, the gourd of sand hanging heavily on his back.

He stopped walking. "Temari, I know you are worried of me being married at such a young age, but this is for the village, not for me." She looked up shocked, blushing slightly at her brother's comment, how would he have known? "I may be young, but I am kazekage now, this is my duty. And it will stay this way until I die. Do you understand?"

"Hai, Gaara-kun." She nodded. Her little brother had grown up, and she was proud as to how loyal and wise he sounded about his abrupt decision, she still did not agree fully, but she was accepting that she had no power to change the decision her brother was making.

"Good."

They walked the rest of the way in silence before splitting up for their own rooms quietly.


A young blonde teenager yawned and sat up slowly smacking his lips, the taste of dry ramen and warm milk invaded his taste buds making him reach over for his glass of water.

Why am I up again? He thought solely, looking around. I don't remember…Oh well…

A high pitched "Naruto!" and long loud rapping on his door reminded him why.

He climbed out of bed and walked tiredly over to the door of his small apartment and opening it slowly. "Naruto, Why are you still in your pajamas!" A pink haired kinoichi yelled placing her hands on her hips.

"Sakura-Chan," Naruto replied rubbing his eyes. "It's 3 o'clock in the morning."

"That doesn't mean you should sleep in! Tsunade-sama wants you!" She said shrilly grabbing his arm and pulling him out, ignoring the fact that he was still in his sleeping garments and dragging him to the hokage tower, where Sai, Kakashi, and the Hokage were all waiting.

Sakura pushed naruto through the doors and he fell gracefully onto his face.

"Yo." He heard a drawled attempt at a 'hello'.

"Hello Naruto-kun" Was a lighter voice.

"Get up brat!" yelled a loud voice, probably at best, from a large breasted hokage with a gambling, drinking, and anger problem.

He turned his face to the right of the room looking at the faces watching him. "Hey, what are you guys doing here?" He said still lost as he rose to his feet.

"We have a mission." Another teenager smiled closing his eyes and tilting his white-pale face to the side. Sai opened his eyelids and looked onward at the blonde teenager looking back at him with a confused look.

"A mission this late at night," Naruto asked quirking an eyebrow.

"Yes, Naruto, a mission, when you're a ninja, that does happen you know." Kakashi said bored, flipping the page of his pornographic novel.

"Shut up old man. Who has grey hair at 27?" Naruto pointed accusingly.

"It makes me look…hip," Was the short ending answer.

"Pfft." Naruto had to at least have the last word in.

"Naruto, Pay attention." He turned his attention to the blonde pigtailed woman in front of him.

"I would old hag, but your big breasts block the view when you're sitting." He said. "What's the mission?"

She sighed and stood up. "Your mission is a B ranked mission."

Naruto smiled, he'd been getting D ranked missions because of his last outburst at the hokage office. Finally, no more boring babysitting jobs, he didn't think he could take looking after 14 dogs, and 12 little kids all at once again, his back and his head were still sore from so much activity, coming from naruto, even this meant something. Considering that Kakashi was sitting on a couch reading his novel, sakura was giving makeovers to the small sweet, angelic little girls, and sai just freaked all the kids and dogs out with his constant smiling; so naruto was left with basically everything.

"What is it Old hag?!" Sakura hit him hard upside the head and he rubbed it.

"Be quiet naruto!"

He sighed.

"Your mission is to go to Suna…"

Naruto eyes brightened; maybe he'd get to see Gaara again!

"And find the Kazekage a wife."

It was quiet…

It was really quiet.

Extremely quiet.

The morning crickets chirped.

"What?!" Naruto screamed loudly shattering the silence, and just about everyone else's ear drums.

"Gaara-sama asked for your team specifically, he hopes that you will find him a skilled kinoichi ninja to become his betrothed, he trusts his future in your hands…"


"I'm not doing it!" Naruto screamed as he walked out of the hokage tower. "No way!" He crossed his arms over his chest pouting. "There is nothing that you can do that will make me do it!"

"Naruto…" There was a low voice behind him, he turned and looking into beady black eyes. "You have to do it…or else." A dark aura surrounded the person glaring down the blonde leaf ninja.

"Ahhhhh Okay, okay," He ran around the person who smiled and laughed with Kakashi.

"Good job, Yamato…" Kakashi congratulated, not glancing up from his book, patting his back. The man smiled running his hands through his short brown hair, putting them on his hips.

"You're coming too, the kazekage recommended it." Kakashi said lightly, Yamato nodded serious now, and answered "Hai." then disappeared.


Kakashi walked slowly through the village reading his pornography book, deeply interested in what was happening with the main characters.

"Oof, sorry." A young girl had run into him on accident. She looked behind her to see an angry shop owner running after her yelling profanities and screaming "Thief, thief!"

Kakashi looked up from his book and at the distressed girl in front of him about to run off. "It's fine…" He said smiling. She nodded and ran around him but he caught her by the dark sweater that she wore and held her as she struggled. "Let go! Please!" She struggled more.

He looked over his shoulder at the girl; she swung her fists back and forth struggling in his grasp, blonde hair swooshing behind her in her half ponytail. "I will, if you'll tell me one thing."

"Fine," She still struggled.

"Why do you need that food?"

She stopped moving and threw it on the ground before maneuvering out of her sweater, the silver plate of her forehead protector flashing in the sun. "Fine, I don't need it!" She grabbed the black sweater and ran pulling it back on and running away from the grey haired Junín.

He looked at her and shrugged before continuing, but putting his book away in his pouch thinking deeply and walking away.


Naruto, Sai, Sakura, Kakashi, and Yamato walked towards the gate of Konaha, packed up and ready to go.

"Come on everyone! Let's go!" Naruto ran in place with his walking, I wanna get out of here! I havn't been on a B rank in forever!" Everyone sighed and walked slower.

Kakashi was deep in thought, looking straight ahead, hands tucked into his pockets.

"Oof, sorry, are you okay?" Naruto had ran ahead and knocked down a girl running through the crowd. He put out a hand to help her up.

"I don't need any help from you." She spat as she tried to get up wiping off her pants and arms.

"You don't have to be so mean!" Naruto said crossing his arms and turning away.

"I can if I want you meaningless idiot." The blonde girl bit out.

"Naruto, what's going on over there?" Sakura and Sai ran ahead to see why he had stopped, looking at both him and a girl about their age looking away from each other crossing their arms.

"What'd you do this time naruto?" Sakura sighed placing her hands on her hips.

"Me?! She's the one who called me a worthless idiot!" He yelled throwing his hands into the air.

Sakura sighed looking at the pouting girl, who was looking over her shoulder at the upset blonde.

"Did not." She replied.

"Did too!" Naruto yelled pointing at the blonde girl in front of him.

Sakura sighed.

Sai, on the other hand, smiled closing his eyes, "How cute, a lovers' quarrel," he closed his book putting it inside his backpack.

They looked at each other.

"Eeeeeew!" The grabbed their throats and pretended to gag.

Kakashi and Yamato had just caught up to watch the "Lovers' Quarrel".

"Hey, what's going on you guys?" Yamato asked rubbing the back of his head when he saw the two blonde teenagers gagging themselves and Sai scratching his head with a finger, Sakura slapping her forehead and shaking it, muttering something about "Dumb blondes"

Naruto pointed an accusing finger at the girl who whirled around and curled her fists lifting them up angrily. "She called me an idiot when I tried to help her! And now she is accusing me of starting everything!"

Naruto turned red. "What did you call me?! Why I ought to!" He ran towards the girl who had already disappeared, appearing behind him and tripping him, pushing him to the ground and straddling his back. "Nice try! I saw that coming from a mile away!" She smirked.

Sakura gasped. "I didn't even see her move,"

"What strength" Sai idly noted.

"Who is this girl?" Naruto asked himself as his nose was dug into the ground.

"Who am I?!" The girl asked getting off and helping him up. "I'm Kuurio Sarunaga, Of the Sarunaga clan!" She shot out her right arm giving thumbs up.

Naruto rubbed the back of his head. "Sarunaga clan?"

"The one and only, dobe."

He growled. "Well I've never heard of this 'clan' you speak of!" She stayed quiet, and looked down.

(A/N--Random emo breeze runs through hair) "Of course you don't naruto." Kakashi came up behind him and clapped his hand onto the boys shoulder.

"I thought you looked familiar when I ran into you before, you're the last survivor of the Sarunaga clan." She looked up. "Yea So?" Kuurio curled her fists.

"So," Kakashi drawled on, "You're going to help us out."

She looked at him confused, as did the rest of team 7.

'Has Kakashi gone crazy?' yamato said looking at him.

The grey haired Nin sighed. "Do you know of the village hidden in the sand? (Sunakure)"

She nodded protectively, "Yea, what about it?"

"You're going to help us out with a mission we are doing, involving the kazekage,"

'Less time looking for someone anyway,' He though evilly.

"WHATTTT?!" Naruto yelled.

"She's not doing it! I don't want her to! Look at her she's not even what he's looking for! We don't even know anything about this girl! Why her? Why not some other random person! We may as well be asking a bum!"

A swift wind blew past the blonde and a seething remaining member of the Sarunaga clan stood in front of him holding him by his collar. "Wanna say that to my face dobe? Before I permanently remove yours?" She growled menacingly, Naruto and everyone else shrinking back.

'She's perfect for gaara, the same deathly aura…' Sai said to himself.

"Thought so," She dropped naruto on his ass when he didn't respond to her threat, and turned around her hands on her hips.

"What exactly am I doing to help this, 'kazekage'?"

Kakashi had a small, lazy glint in his eye, "The kazekage must find a betrothed,-"

She stopped him. "And, you chose someone you hardly know?"

He nodded. She looked/glared at naruto who was waving his hands in a frantic 'no' manner behind her back.

"If it annoys him, then I'll do it." She smirked when she heard an orange clad body hit the ground and a groan sound out from the poor blonde.

"Good, then off to Suna." Kakashi smiled, and walked around her, over Naruto and towards the gates of Konaha.
