Sand and Leaves

Chapter Three – Birthday?

The new sand shinobi jumped rooftop to rooftop as they made their way to the Kazekage's office. Naruto looked at his mentor who had a worried look on his face, Jiraiya looked back at Naruto and focused more chakra into his feet and ran faster to each rooftop. Naruto took the hint and did the same.

Naruto spotted many things while running, like the way everyone dressed in white and how there barely any shops that stole ramen that he truly loved.

'If I were in Kohon...' Thought the blond ninja

"Kit, don't think about it if it's gonna hurt you every time you think about ... that place, her and that bastard who took your place." Said his demon

The ninja nodded and carried on running to Gaara's office. The rooftops were becoming higher and higher as they were getting closer to the Kazekage's office. Naruto guessed that more important people lived in the taller buildings and the Kazekage lived in the tallest. After about ten minutes of jumping and jumping the two ninja landed in front of the building with the sand emblem on it. The white haired sannin looked at Naruto and sighed as they walked in.

They got in and expected to be attacked by ANBU, but surprisingly they weren't. Naruto pushed the door opened and peered in, there was nothing different or strange about the room so he walked in and didn't see Gaara sitting there at his desk brooding like he normally did. He carried on looking round the room looking for traps or to see if Gaara had been kidnapped, seeing nothing out of the ordinary he turned to Jiraiya who stood there with a bored expression on his face.

"You see anything then, brat." Jiraiya asked blankly. Naruto shook his head and started to look again. While looking in another room he saw a blond flash behind him, he shouted at Jiraiya to stop the flash.

"Already got her." Jiraiya said while writing something down. Naruto saw his notepad out and realised that it is his special notepad with all his perverted adventures in.

"What do you mean her." Naruto asked with confusion in his brain.

"I mean Temari." he paused. "She hanging up over there."

Naruto looked over to see the blond haired kunoichi hanging up against a peg stuck in the wall. He walked over and pulled her off and started to mutter about Jiraiya being so mean to a girl. Temari dusted herself and thanked Naruto she gave a death stare at Jiraiya, he shrugged it off and carried on writing Icha Icha Paradise volume 4.

"So what were you doing in the Kazekage's office then Temari-chan." asked Jiraiya. She shifted uncomfortably and looked at the floor.

"I was waiting for you and Naruto-kun." She said back timidly. Naruto looked at her and walked back into the office.

"So ... where's Gaara, I imagined he sent the note." Naruto inquired

"No. No, I sent it." she paused "I have a favour."

The two ninja looked at her and gave her a look that said 'go on'

"Well see it is Gaara's birthday soon and I want you to help me decorate and stuff since you are the sand's two best ninjas." she said nearly mumbling the last part.

"We're not the best ... well maybe ero-sennin is but I'm not. I mean there's you, Gaara and Kankuro. Not to mention your Jounin instructor that came over during the chuunin exams." Naruto bellowed at her. Temari shook her head and repeatedly said no.

"You're the best ninjas we got over her now." Temari said confidently. Naruto looked gob smacked while Jiraiya looked bored still.

Jiraiya packed up his things and got up, he then asked all the details for the party that she wanted and then grabbed Naruto who was still standing there staring at the wall gob smacked. Temari slightly laughed this while Jiraiya called back.

"We'll be back at six."

Naruto looked in the mirror, he hated wearing this clothing, he was wearing a pair of black jeans with a orange shirt (Jiraiya wanted him to have a white shirt, but since orange is Naruto favourite colour he insisted that he wear it and knowing how persistent Naruto is Jiraiya gave in.) and black boots.

"Hey Ero-sennin why do I have to wear this, can't just wear my jumpsuit without any weapons or forehead protector." shouted Naruto from across the other side the room where Jiraiya was.

"You fool you have no idea do you." he paused to see the boy's reaction which was, staring at him stupidly. "When you go to a party you have to wear something nice, not just any old thing. People might think your cheap or ahhhhh .. ah .. ah. Sorry aftershave, anyway back to what we were talking about. So yeah if you want girls you dress up nice.

Naruto fell silent and felt a pain in his heart 'Sakura'. He laid on the bed in their temporary accommodation and thought about her. 'Her hair, the way she smiled, her eyes, even her smell I liked'.

"Oi Kit, shut up. It's bloody annoying you talking about that whore." shouted the nine tailed fox

'That 'whore' you are talking about is the most beautiful thing in the world.' shouted the ninja equally as loud

"Kit she left you to go with 'him', I wouldn't think that you would still love the stupid pink-haired bitch." said the fox calmly

Naruto shut out his thoughts and continued to get ready for the party.

Temari looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a black skirt that went just above her knees, it had straps but no shoulders and showed a bit of cleavage. She put on some light make-up and the tinest bit of perfume she could and carried on examing herself. 'I'm looking hot tonight' she thought to herself.

It was finally six 'o'clock, Naruto and Jiraiya were walking down the street wearing there party clothes.

"So tell me why we are being late again." said Naruto

"So that we can be fasionably late, so then we are noticed more."Jiraya answered
