A/N
This was an idea I had today and it involves Gaara and Naruto being little kids and becoming friends as Gaara ran away from Suna as he was tired of being treated differently but Iruka is Naruto's caregiver because of him having the Nine Tailed Fox inside him.
At first, Gaara doesn't trust him until he learns from Iruka that Naruto has the Nine Tailed Fox and a strong bond begins.
I hope people like.
It was midnight in Suna and somebody was sitting on the rooftop as it was a youngster with spiked red hair, emerald grreen eyes with dark rings around them and wore a small gourd on his back.
His name was Gaara but he was feeling alone as nobody in Suna wanted him because of the Two-Tailed Shakakau that his father the Kazekage had sealed inside him from birth but it had made him become feared by the entire village.
They thought him as a bakemono, a monster but he wasn't but just wanted to belong but knew Suna wasn't where he belonged anymore as he wiped tears away from his eyes.
"I-I hve to leave here.
I know the village would be happier.
I'll find a place where people want me." he told himself.
He then left before his siblings or father woke up as he knew they would stop him and he knew they didn't want him to leave.
He then hoped things would be better...
"Naruto wake up!
You have to get to school." Iruka said.
A young six year old boy wiearing pyjamas and a sleeping cap woke up but rubbed sleep from his blue eyes as he sighed as he didn't like the Ninja Academy as the other kids didn't like him because of the Nine Tailed Fox inside of him.
He had been living in Konoha for the past six years since he was born but wondered where his parents were but Iruka sighed knowing the boy's father, Yondaime had supposedly saved Konoha by sealing the Nine Tailed Fox into him but he hoped Naruto would have a good life when he was older.
"Aww Iruka!
Do I have to?" he complained.
The Jonin knew that the other kids weren't nice to his adoptive son.
"Yes you do Naruto." he told him.
The spiky yellow haired boy sighed getting ready as Iruka was making breakfast and made him ramen which was his favourite food but he saw Naruto wearing a black shirt with the symbol of Konoha on it but he was excited smelling ramen.
"Alright it's ready!" he said excited.
Iruka chuckled at his adopted son but hoped that things would be okay.
Gaara was nervous as he was wandering through the streets of Konoha but many shinobi were staring at the strange child but wondered where he'd came from but they could tell he wasn't from here as a Jonin approached but Gaara was nervous.
"Don't be afraid kid.
We just want to help you.
What's your name?" he asked.
"G-Gaara." he answered softly.
He then followed him to where the Ninja Academy was.
He brought him to where the kindergarten was.
Gaara was nervous as he wasn't good at being with other kids.
But he saw a boy with tellow spiked hair on a swing and wondered why some kids were throwing dirt clods at him...
