Naru was the first one to the gate. All she really needed to grab would be her backpack, which she had filled with different scrolls that held different seals on them.
She stood there a good three minutes before Sasuke arrived. He stood silently by her side, which she was thankful for. Over the past three years she had lost her liking to talk, of course there was a reason for that.
Sakura, Kakashi, Jiraiya, and Tsunade had all arrived at the same time. But as the two Sanin approached Naru and Sasuke, they saw another head coming their way.
"Temari-Nee-San?" Naru asked in a small voice, before bolting over to the other blond.
"Naru! Oh god, no don't tell me their sending you on this mission!" Temari asked as she gripped Naru's shoulders tightly. Naru nodded lightly.
"Do you know who you're fighting?" Naru eyes sharpened as she glared at Temari.
"I know exactly who I'm fighting and no matter who they are, I won't back down from this fight," her words came out with an icy chill that caused everyone to stiffen.
"You two know each other?" Kakashi asked lightly. Temari quirked her eye brow at him.
"Yeah, she came to Suna with your Third Hokage when we were kids. She was also Garra's first friend." Team seven gaped at her words. "I would love to talk more about our past later because I do believe Garra needs our help, like now?" Naru growled out.
"She's right; get your asses on the move!" Tsunade ordered out.
Team seven plus Temari gave her a swift nod and jumped into the trees.
Naru had a good amount of room between her and everyone else. If her companions could see her face though, they would see her eyes glaring red from anger.
"Naru, when did you get back?" Temari called out to the girl in front of her.
"I came back yesterday," Naru answered, not looking back.
(((((())))))
Team seven ran up to Suna, completely out of breath. They were quickly rushed to Konkuro. They ran to his room and hoping Sakura could do something help him. But a strange old hag named Chiyo flew out at Kakashi. Naru quickly blocked the old woman with her sword in its sheathed. Chiyo flew back from the attack but Naru still stood in a defensive pose. "DO NOT ATTACK MY TEAM MATES!" Naru growled out, through gritting teeth.
The waves of KI emitted from Naru caused everyone in the room to shiver.
"That man is the White Fang of Konoha, he is my son's enemy and I will have my revenge today," Chiyo said, regaining herself.
"Stupid hag, I don't care who my team mates are enemies of. If you harm them, I won't hold back on you!"
"Sister look, this is not the White Fang of Konoha," said an older man in the room while he held off Chiyo from getting into a fight.
As Chiyo laughed about her mistake, as Sakura quickly made her way over to Kankuro. Naru and Sasuke watched closely as Sakura's hands lit up green, she pressed her hands against Kankuro's stomach, which caused the boy to jolt up. Before Sakura could do any more, she was pushed out of the way.
"Are you stupid?! You will kill him if you do that!" Naru yelled at the pink haired girl. "Hasn't Tsunade taught you anything; pushing on his stomach in that way will cause the poison to spread faster!"
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked.
"Idiot! The pressure will cause his heart to work faster! Instead of making a fool of yourself go and ask for a list of the herbs they have in season!" Naru said, as she pulled her hair out of the way.
Looking to the other people in the room, she ordered them to get her a bucket of water. When that arrived, her hands quickly began to glow green just as Sakura's had done.
"Hold him down, he's not going to like this," she said to the people in the room. Sasuke took one of his shoulders, while Kakashi took the other. Other medical nin took his legs. "Don't let him move because the poison could get stuck if he does." Gently she took the water into hand and began pushing into the direct spot he was poisoned. Almost immediately Kankuro started to squirm from the pain. "Don't let him move, I said!" Naru yelled as she tried to work faster.
On the other side of Kankuro's stomach water began to bubble again but it had a purple substance in it.
Dropping the water back into the bucket, Naru looked up just in time for Sakura to enter the room. Ignoring her presence, Naru looked at Temari. "His life is no longer in immediate danger. I've removed the poison directly, but until I make an antidote for the poison that is still in his body we still can't relax." Naru looked away from Temari to look at Sakura. "Let me see that list," Naru said, extending a hand. Looking over the papers she heard Chiyo speak to her.
"You're like that slug woman."
"Yes, I may be like Tsunade-Sama but she isn't my teacher," Naru said with a bored tone, not looking up from her papers. "Could you take me to the medical store house?" she asked one of the nin. "Yes ma'am, right this way." And the two of them walked out of the room.
"She's changed so much," Temari said with a sad look on her face. "What do you mean," Sasuke asked from across the room. Termari sighed, "Naru used to be bubbly, happy, and so bright. It's sad to see her like this. Last time I saw her was before the chunin exams; she was so happy. She even told me about her team; some black hair boy that was really mean to her and some girl that dissed her every time they spoke, even though she only ever wanted to be friends with her. Oh and then there was her Sensei. She told me that even though he ignored her most of the time and treated her like an idiot, she still liked him."
Team seven stared at her. The story had sounded so familiar that it couldn't stop them from thinking about Naruto.
Naru came walking back into the room with an antidote and immediately walked quickly over to Konkuro. When people looked at him, they saw him stir.
"Konkuro-Nii, do you know who did this to you?" Naru asked in a soft tone.
"Sasori of the Red Sand..." There was a small gasp in the room. Naru's body seemed to get slightly rigid but she backed away from him and started to pour medicine in a cup for him.
"Konkuro-Nii please drink this," Naru said, pushing the cup to his lips. "Drink it all." He finished getting it down and plopped back down on the bed.
"Naru-Chan is that you?" he asked, after getting a good look at Naru.
She smiled lightly with her head at a slight tip that gave her a cute and innocent look.
"Hi, are you feeling better now?" Kankuro coughed as he fought down a blush. "I'm fine, but...Garra..."
Naru's face turned hard and looked upset.
"Don't worry; we'll get him back, so just rest."
Kankuro looked at her with his mouth slightly open, but it turned to a smile.
"I'm sure you will."
(((((((()))))))
As team seven began to walk away from the sand to follow after Garra, Temari began to fight with them to go along but the ugly hag Chiyo convinced her to stay.
