Kakashi, Naruto, and Sakura had arrived at the Sand village an hour earlier than expected, and what they found had worried them. They had never seen the village so quiet before. As they begun to make their way through the village, there was no villagers in sight. Looking closer, they began notice villagers cowering inside their houses. Fearing the worse, they hurried towards the Kazekage's Chambers
Unfortunately, the sight in the Kazekage's chambers was no different. The halls were buzzing with people zipping back and forth with pained expressions on their faces. Those who weren't rushing back and forth were ducking behind desks and tables. "What the hell is going on?" Naruto blurted out. Just then Temari darted out from under a nearby desk and covered Naruto's mouth. "Shut up you idiot…. Unless you wanna get yourself killed" she whispered. Kakashi chimed in asking, "Care to explain what's going on here?"
Temari pulled Naruto, Kakashi, and Sakura into a nearby room, looked down the hallway to make sure Gaara wasn't around, then closed the door behind her. "Listen good 'cause I'm only gonna say this once… It's Gaara's time of the month" she admitted as quietly as possible. They looked confusedly at Temari, still trying to process what she just said. "What do you mean 'his time of the month'? Gaara is a boy!" Naruto asked breaking through the awkward silence. Temari sighed and continued on "In the middle of every month Gaara goes through this phase where he gets very grumpy and irritable, then to make it worse his sand gets out of control and homicidal."
Sakura, Kakashi and Naruto couldn't believe what they were hearing. They're inquiring was interrupted by the terror filled scream of a young man right outside the door. They looked cautiously out the window and found that Gaara had impaled one of the sand shinobi with his sand and was now ominously standing over him. "You see what I mean?" Temari whispered. They ducked just out of sight, as Gaara stalked off towards his bed room.
Temari paced outside the door of Gaara's room. "I really hope he doesn't kill me after I tell him" she thought with a grimace. She let out a heavy sigh and slowly opened the door. "This better be good" Gaara snarled. He glared at Temari as she slowly made her way across the messy room and sat cautiously next to him. "I need to tell you something" she said flatly. "Make it quick" he snarled while pulling the covers over his head. "There no easy way to say this so I'm just gonna say it….. You're a girl" She said, while inching as far away as possible. "What the hell are you talking about?" Gaara asked, now convinced that Temari was just trying to worsen his already foul mood. "You're a girl. Dad turned you into a boy when you were a baby using some jutsu" she replied. "You're crazy" he snapped "Remind me to kill you in the morning." "Gaara think about it, the monthly mood swings, girly tendencies, and the boy fancy. You're a girl trapped in a boy's body" she reasoned. "That's impossible, Dad would never… damn" Gaara said realizing that she was right. Gaara sprang up and stormed out the room. "Where are you going Gaara?" Temari called after him. "To see Dad" he called back.
