Naruto in Oz
Somewhere near Konoha
"NARUTO!" Sakura screamed loudly after her teammate. Kakashi and Sasuke rolled their eyes (though you could only see one of Kakashis) The white haired sensei lowered his uncovered eye to his "come come paradise" while the young (emo) raven haired teammate looked at him expectantly. After a moment he sighed
"I'm surrounded by idiots"
"One of those "idiots" seems to be getting away" Kakashi noted without looking up.
"You really think I'm an idiot don't you Sasuke?" Sakura asked tearfully, Sasuke was already walking past her "Naruto come back loser, he's not worth it!"
Naruto turned back to growl at Sasuke "SHUDDUP YOU DON'T GET IT"
"What makes you think it's a boy?" Kakashi asked curiously as he flipped another page of his book.
Sasuke ignored him. Instead he glared at Naruto wondering to himself
What the hell did the chicken even do?
That's right Naruto had broke away in the middle of a mission to chase a mysterious chicken that had followed him back from where he went to "relieve himself".
Gaara stood up from where he had been sitting patiently (a lot more patient than Kakuro and Temari) waiting for Narutos hissy fit to be over. Sighing, he flicked his wrist caught both Naruto and the chicken (that Naruto seemed to have dubbed clucky) by the ankles with his sand and brought them over to the group. Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto all glared at the red head but Temari and Kankuro looked relieved that Gaara had finally ended the madness of a brightly coloured ninja chasing a chicken. Kakashi looked unperturbed (as much as you could when only 1/5 of your face was showing)
"Nice of you to rejoin us Naruto… a little longer and I was worried you were going to embarrass the leaf village in front of the former Kazekages children" He said casually with only a hint of scolding in his tone.
"Dude why didn't you do that earlier?" Kankuro asked his younger brother, who still had a loudly complaining Naruto and Clucky suspended in the air.
Gaara opened his mouth to reply but was cut off before he could speak.
"Oi, why don't you just mind your own business, sand freak?" Sasuke said tersely, still a bit sore about Gaara almost killing them all.
"Yea, we can look after our own team mate!" Sakura exclaimed
"Clearly" Kankuro snorted and Temari stood beside with hands on hips.
"That's why" Gaara said monotonously but Naruto stopped struggling for a moment, detecting something in Gaaras voice…. Tiredness? He quickly brushed the thought aside as he noticed that no one else saw it.
He realised it had been a while since anyone had spoken and was about to break the relative silence, Gaara did.
"It is my business" he said, effectively making Naruto feel lost.
"What?"
"Sasuke told me to mind my own business but as long as we're working together on this mission it is my business that the mission is being halted because Naruto is preoccupied chasing around a farm animal" Gaara actually sounded more amused than annoyed if only slightly.
" Che, whatever" Sasuke said and continued walking. They all followed him including Naruto and Clucky who were still suspended in the air.
"…Punishment?" Kakashi asked looking questioningly at Gaara who in turn looked quizzical then seemed to notice Naruto and Clucky still suspended. His green eyes widened ever so slightly and then looked rather sheepish "…Ooops" he said and dispersed the sand Naruto screamed as he fell but then realised that a) he only dropped about 2 ft and b) his landing had been blanketed by sand. "Um.. thanks I guess" Naruto said confused, not a year since the invasion of Konoha and Gaara seemed to have changed from a cold hearted killer to this.
I might not be the sharpest Kunai in the… Kunai rack but I'm pretty sure that a 2 ft drop wouldn't kill me
"Heh" Sasuke laughed shortly "Never thought I'd hear a heartless murderer say oops"
They all noticed Gaara flinch slightly "… How many people do you have to kill for you to transfer from ninja to murderer?"
Sasuke didn't hesitate to answer "It doesn't matter how many you kill, it's when an innocent live is lost that you are a murderer" He said coldly, thinking of his older brother, Itachi.
"Then I'm not a murderer" Gaara said and picked up his pace and jumped up into the trees, quickly followed by Temari and Kakuro who both looked at each other warily before glaring at Sasuke.
Kakashi also sped up and headed into the trees, followed by the three genin.

"HA HA YOU THINK YOU CAN USE WIND BETTER THAN ME?" Temari yelled across at the rogue rain ninja. Gaara sighed dejected at the hysteria in his sisters voice.
"WHY DOES SHE GET TO BE THE ONLY ONE FIGHTING?" Naruto shouted angrily.
"Because they're both wind users and she's stubborn" Kankuro said and took a seat next to Gaara on his gourd " Plus she's kind of scary when she gets like this… it's almost as bad as a pissed Gaara back when he was all hate filled and crap"
"He's not anymore?" Kakashi asked as he also took a seat on the ground with everybody except Naruto who stood up angrily yelling things at the battling wind users.
"*sigh* No I'm not, thanks to Naruto, actually" Gaara said and they all stared at him (sans Kankuro) disbelievingly. That was when they all noticed that Naruto was not there with them but was in fact charging straight into the battlefield where a hurricane of the two wind users powers combined in battle.
"This will be interesting" Kakashi stated
"You aren't such a great sensei are you? And that's coming from a guy who was sent on missions purely for the hope that the enemy would end up killing me" Gaara said casually and for the first time Sakura wondered just how the Sand village worked. She'd learned from Naruto not to judge a book by its cover.
"Well that's not good" Kakuro winced and everyone looked from Gaara to the battlefield where Naruto had gotten himself thrown into a hurricane.
"Gaara keep your sand at the ready" Kakashi ordered and Gaara nodded his head and stood crossing his arms in battle mode. The sand rose from his gourd as Gaara raised his arms up like a conductor.
Naruto cracked open his eyes only to be affronted with incredibly bright sun bearing down on him.
"Gah!" Was the only word he could form as he sat up and leaned his weight on his hand. Looking down he saw that he was sitting on a corpse…. A rather creepy corpse.
Hopping up immediately he pointed an accusing at the pale body "OROCHIMARU WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!"
"Hey why ya yelling at a corpse?" A brightly dressed kid asked Naruto with two brightly dressed kids following him.
"EHH? KONOHAMARU?" Naruto yelled in astonishment at the costume clad (tights really?) academy kids in front of him.
"Yeah! I'm a munchkin grandson of the old wizard!" Konohamaru exclaimed proudly and his two friends threw a spotlight on him and dropped smoke bombs for dramatic affect.
After they had all finished coughing up the smoke they inhaled Konohamaru stood straight
"Who the hell are you?" He asked innocently.
"WHAT DO YOU WHO THE HELL AM I? NARUTO YOU FOLLOWED ME AROUND IN A BOX PAINTED LIKE ROCKS AND MADE ME PLAY NINJA WITH YOU, REMEMBER?"
"… What's a ninja?" Konohamuru asked and Naruto began ripping his hair out, that's when he realised that his hair was plaited into two short braids on either side of his head. Then he looked down at what he was wearing; a blue and white plaid DRESS with white knee high socks and for whatever reason no shoes.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?"
"You killed the wicked witch of the east" Smirked Temari who came riding down on her fan.
"Hey you're that sand freaks brother… Temari" Naruto said, confused.
"Actually, I'm the good witch of the north and my only siblings are the wicked witches of the west and east and the good witch of the South" Temari explained
"Ehh… okay" Naruto said backing away slowly. "How do I get back to Konoha?"
"Follow the yellow brick road, of course" Temari said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, or where ever the hell this place was.
"So the yellow brick road leads back to Konaha?" Naruto asked
"No. If you follow the yellow brick road you'll end up in the Emerald City where you'll have to bargain with the Wizard of Oz, so basically your fate hangs in the balance but to make it better I'll give you some ruby slippers. BIP!" Temari waved her want and ruby slippers appeared on his feet.
"DO I LOOK LIKE A DAMN GIRL?" Naruto exclaimed loudly only to be laughed at
"Hey I didn't choose the dress" Temari defended.
"Whatever I'm just gonna …. Follow the yellow brick road" Naruto said and backed away slowly onto the yellow brick road.
