I got tired of reading about how Naruto gathers the Jinchuuriki. So I have decided to have Gaara gather the Jinchuuriki. Have fun reading about his journey.

Gaara sat in his room watching blood drip from the sand. Gaara sighed.

"I'm tired of this," Gaara said, "I'm tired of killing these people. I'm tired of being called demon, monster, and freak. I'm tired of my brother and sister looking at me with fear and hate in their eyes. I'm tired of all of this."

"There is another place," Mother said, "A place where you can live in peace."

"Can we go there Mother," Gaara asked.

"Getting there is going to be hard," Mother said, "And you'll need help, but not from just anyone. Help from those like us."

"Please," Gaara pleaded, "I don't want to stay here anymore."

"Very well," Mother said, "The closet is in the Leaf Village, but I suggest that you get the other seven before going there."

"Ok," Gaara said.

Gaara got up and started packing a few clothes, a blanket, a pair of shoes, a small pillow, and his teddy pair. Gaara waited until the nightfall to walk out of the village.

Name: Gaara of the Sand

Age: 6 years old

Heading Where: Where Mother tells him

Mother: Voice in Gaara's head

People to gather: 8 people

Question: Will Gaara succeed?

"Where should we start Mother," Gaara asked. "In the Rock Village," Mother said, "the Jinchuuriki of Nibi, the two tailed cat and the Jinchuuriki of the eight tailed ox, Hachibi, live there."

"How far is it," Gaara asked.

"It is twelve days away," Mother said.

Gaara didn't say anything. He just kept walking. He didn't care how long it took to gather the other Jinchuuriki, because for the first time in a long time he was happy. For the first time in a long time, he was smiling. For the first time in a long time, Gaara felt safe.
