In a quiet meadow, in the middle of nowhere, sat a boy around the age of 5 contemplating on what to do now that he was in the past. The 5-year-old boy had red hair with yellowish orange highlights dotted around and skin as pale as the moon, with 3 whisker marks on each cheek making him look like a fox. He had heterochromia eyes, with one being red and the other being as blue as the sky. They both had black slitted pupils causing the child to have a wild look in his eyes. Wearing a black vest top and dark blue three-quarter trousers, which had many pockets in that he could stash supplies in, and no shoes the boy sat cross legged on the ground looking up into the sky with a look of confusion on his face. He had been thinking over why his appearance was like this and why he had to go through the stages of puberty and the looks again. He knew what he had sealed in him, so at least he was not as ignorant as he was before. Kurama was, is one of his few friends in this period and he knew he could count on him for all the torture he was about to go through. Thinking about Kurama, he realised that he hadn't heard a single comment from the big ball of fur, which was odd as he would always be talking or finding new ways to annoy him. He missed the off handed comments and advice he gave. Even his so called affectionate nicknames: Brat, Kid, just to name a few.

Suddenly sitting up straight, he came to full attention that would only happen after years of fighting with your life on the line. Looking in to a nearby tree he noticed a tensed-up figure standing on one the tree branches and made a come over jester with is right hand whilst he lent back on his left to keep him up. This posture was just enough to show the other boy that it was him and, yes, he was okay. He knew his hair would be a shock for him as it was completely opposite of the old hair colour he used to have. Jumping out of the tree a boy around the same age as him with pure black hair coincidently shaped like a duck's butt and black eyes as dark as midnight; His skin was pure as snow and not a single blemish could be seen on it. He wore a plane black top, which had a high collar showing which clan he came from, and white knee length shorts. On his feet, he had a pair of shinobi sandals and a sealing tattoo on his left wrist, which probably held his katana Chokuto that was brought to the past with him (not like he would leave alone in a walking distance on one metre). Walking over the heterochromia eyed boy, the dark eyed boy lay down and looked at the passing by clouds above their heads.

Both where thinking the same thing…where did this lead them. Did the go straight through with the plan, or do they wait a year or two to grow up. Finally, after an hour a silence where you could hear the noise back at the village Naruto decided to speak up first.

"Did you miss them?"
"Surprisingly not as much as I thought I would have. Though I nearly yelled at
Him. I had to leave then, in case I did something that would ruin the plan."
"Hmmm. Thanks for not ruining the plan Sasuke."
"Dobe."
Sasuke said affectionately.
"Shall we get on with the plan then"
Naruto said in his Hokage mode voice.

After chatting and having simple talk about the village and how their lives are, they finally talked about the most important stuff….the plan/future.
For the next couple of hours Naruto and Sasuke went through the plan, making changes here and there, and when they were finally done they only had on major problem. That was…

"How do we get Gaara?" Naruto spoke up.
"Sneak him out?"
"Sasuke I'm being serious here. I mean Gaara's father is the Kazekage of the Sand and you know what will happen if someone tries to even touch him."
"Then we do it secretly and kidnap him or we ask the Hokage, as you really close to him, about you going over to the Sand village with him, the next time he goes, so you can strengthen the bond between the two villages. It also means two
containers get to meet someone like themselves."
"Sasuke you're a genius!"
"I know I am Dobe"

Whilst that plan was in action, over in Sand a boy around the age of 5 with hair red as blood and eyes, green as emeralds, stared blankly at the same sky the other two boys where looking at. He had come to a place to relax after waking up in the new time and had suddenly remember what his childhood was like now. The pain. The looks he received where nothing like the ones he had gained once he became the new Kazekage and had gained the respect of the entire village. Here, Now, he was just a monster. Some emotionless boy who should either be killed or made into a weapon which would bend to there every whim and will of his father. The only good point was that he knew that his uncle had been forced into killing him and that he had at least two friends (even though they were outside the village) and he just knew they would come to him one way or another. Something flashed in the corner of his vision and as he looked he knew he was right. After all the star that just fell let him make that one wish!
Knowing he didn't have long left until one of his father's shinobi found him, he got himself ready to leave. As he dragged his feet though the ground he noticed on his left leg was some sort or tattoo in the shape of a lion. It had red beady eyes that looked like they could glare through a wall and sand coloured skin. Grabbing some bandages from his pocket he covered it up as it wouldn't do for someone to notice this and start blabbing about how he is now possessed by two demons. No such need for the extra hassle after all.

Climbing into bed that night Gaara's last thoughts until he fell into oblivion of thinking (knowing if he went to sleep Shukaku would take over and destroy the village) was "help me Naruto, Sasuke!"

Authors notes to readers

Thank you so much for the views, comment, favourites and follows. They all mean so much to me.
I enjoy looking forward to reading more comments and will get started on a new chapter right away.

I've got a question…. What pairings do you want for Naruto, Sasuke and Gaara to be?

I you've got any good ideas for the next few chapters that would be great as it helps me write more.
