A/N: Here it is, the moment K-chan has been waiting for. It isn't the Original Chronicles of the Tribunal(this is the second version, I don't like it that much). Yes, I tried to be descriptive with this chapter.. Was I? Oh well.. Me ranting on again. This took me ten minutes to type up. Erm… keep checking up on it because I have many more chapters in store.Another thing... LEAVE COMMENTS!I NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK..ACTUALLY I WANT TO KNOW.. SAME THING...

The battle site had been where they had first met her.
A war between Suna and the new Sky village had been going on for several months. The final battle was to be fought at the very Gates of Sora. The Nin of Konoha were lending their support and helping out Suna.
Both Naruto and Gaara were at the front of the group. News of the village whereabouts were confirmed that it was just ahead, over the ridge of a steep hill. For some odd reason, the ridge had a path leading down from the top of the ridge beyond their view. Naruto opened his mouth, about to say something when it came into view.
It was horrible. The path lead straight up to the massive village gates and the sides of the path were littered with rotting corpses of warriors long since past. The stench coming from the dead made the men's eyes water. From behind, Naruto heard several men upchuck their breakfast. Gaara frowned, this was unexpected. His eyes narrowed as he realized what the path was paved with. Skulls, human skulls. Polished so that they looked like the finest ivory. He felt the bile rise in his throat. Luckily, Naruto hadn't noticed. But he had noticed the flocks of ravens in the air. In fact, there were many birds flying high in the sky, they knew a battle was about to start. The losing side would be the birds feast. Gaara gulped, he hoped it wasn't his side.
That's when they began. The drums. The village gates creaked open as twenty columns of men marched out, at least 100 in each line. Even with the combined efforts of Konoha and Suna, he wasn't sure if it was going to be enough.
"Gaara-sama!" Baki whispered in Gaara's ear.
"Yeah I know." He replied.
"This is bad. Really bad." Naruto said in a quiet nervous voice.
Gaara eyed him. Oh great, if he's nervous... Oh this doesn't make it any easier for me.
Naruto eyed his friend and smiled. Gaara felt Naruto's reassuring weight on his shoulder. "Don't worry. We'll make. I still haven't become the Hokage, so I know we'll succeed." Naruto said reassuringly.
Gaara smiled slightly as Sora's forces began their attack. "Right." He looked over at Baki and nodded.
Baki caught the sign and immediately began to work on dispatching groups of Nin to disable the enemy's army.
Gaara and Naruto stood at the top of the ridge and watched in amazement as the two forces clash, dead bodies fell and birds swooped in for the meal. Men's cries of pain, fear, and anger filled the morning air. That's when he noticed her.
The girl was standing on the top of the gates, watching the battle. She kept glancing over at a man who appeared to be giving her instructions. She nodded, said a few words and… Eyed Naruto and Gaara. Within an instant she was gone.
Hi! Umm… yeah….chapter two :The Child of Pain? Is next….yaaaaaaaaay!(I had to read this to K-chan over the phone to get her approval. She says its good)
