2 miles outside of Suna
"So old Man what techniques are there in Sunagakure?" asked Naruto to the Hokage walking next to him,
"Well they pretty much have the same as us but there's one that only they use…" said the Hokage before Naruto cut him off. " You mean the Puppet techniques?"
Naruto's comment caught the Hokage by surprise. "Exactly Naruto, how you know about that?" asked he Hokage.
"Well I read about it in you Library and after not finding much about them I ask Tsunade-chan about puppets, she said she didn't know much but since I was coming with you to Suna to find and old woman named Chiyo and ask her." Then Naruto proceeded to tell the Hokage everything he learned about the history of puppets from his Library.
"Amazing, so Naruto why are you so obsessed with puppet's." ask the Hokage to a littler Naruto next to him. "Well I want to be Konoha's first puppeteer" that answer shocked the Hokage.
"I thought you wanted to be the next Hokage?" he asked Naruto to find the response he wanted. "Who said I can't be both?" said a grinning Naruto
"Hahaha your full of surprises Naruto-kun" said a clearly laughing Hokage, "Ahh were here…Sunagakure no sato" said the Hokage while pointing at a huge sand wall infront of them.
"Wow" was all the little blonde could say before the Hokage picked up the pace. "Hurry Naruto a sandstorm is coming" with that both he and the Hokage started running at the huge sand gate were the Kazekage and his 3 children were waiting for them.
5 minutes later they were in front of the Kazekage "Welcome to Sunagakure" said the smiling Kage to Naruto and the Sandaime " Ahh is good to finally get here"
Naruto look at the Sandaime then at his children the 2 oldest were dressed in clothing similar to that of there father while the last one was dressed in old dirty clothes. Naruto could see the little one had he same age as him but also that he shared the same kind of sadness.
Naruto walked up to the younger one and said in a nice and calm voice." Hello my Name is Naruto Uzumaki." The younger child seem surprise at the sudden boy infront of him and the fact that the boy wasn't afraid of him so he responded a little scared and in a voice that was barely a whisper." I'm Gaara" said the redhead and caught the angry stare his father gave him and so did Naruto. "Well Gaara could you give me a tour of you village?" said Naruto with the biggest smile he had, and the smile seem to be contagious cause as soon as he gave it Gaara was smiling also. "Ok Naruto-san" said the happy Gaara.
At that moment Naruto grab Gaara's hand and ran towards the village leaving a smiling Hokage an angry Kazekage, but before the Hokage could notice he change his change his expression and motion for the Hokage to follow him to his office.

But before the shuriken could hit a wall of sand appeared and block it then went up the hill and trap the person in a ball of sand and killed him.
Naruto was surprised cause of Gaara's actions and Gaara was scared his new friend would get scared and leave but when he turned to look at Naruto he saw Naruto smiling
"How did you do that?" asked the blonde.
"Your not scared of me" asked the redhead a bit confused. " NO that

Gaara smiled and procided to tell Naruto his story about the Shukaku and the countless assassination attempts. fter hearing Gaara Naruto was sad and then to told Gaara his story.
"So in a way I'm like you except that I have the Nine tailed beast and you have the one tailed Shukaku. Gaara was surprise to say the list not onlyt had he made a new friend but he understood him…they were the same in almost every aspect.
"So from now on don't be afraid you now have a friend…" said Naruto with the biggest smile he could ever see. "Thanks" said a crying Gaara.

The old guy say in the empty pillow and motion for Naruto to sit in the chair infront of his companion, and so Naruto sat in the chair and waited for the woman to speak with didn't take long.
"What do you want?" she said with a raspy old voice.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki of Konoha and I have come here to asked you Chiyo-sama to train me in the art of puppetry" said Naruto in the serious voice he could give.
Chiyo look at Naruto for a while a finally said "NO" with that Naruto face pole voulted to the floor.
"Why Not??" asked Naruto
"Cause I don't feel like it, and why do you do want so badly to learned this art." Said Chiyo while ultimately noticing the sad face Naruto had. Naruto spent 2 hours recounting the tale of his live so far. Chiyo hearing Naruto story remember the little live she ruined and decided to help the little guy.
" I want to help you, but I'm not allowed to teach puppetry anymore so what I'll do is give you a scroll that will teach you everything I know…ok little Uzumaki" Naruto jumped up and hug Chiyo. "Thank you Chiyo-sama, but how come your not allowed to teach puppetry anymore?" asked a happy and confused Naruto.
"A long story Kid" Naruto stayed a listened to the old lady's sad story. "So Sasori left after and I haven't seen him since. "WOW that's really sad, but I have a feeling you'll see him again." Said Naruto with a big smile.
Chiyo stood up and left for a couple of minutes and came back with a scroll as Naruto leg and handed it to him. "That scroll will teach everything you need to know to be a puppet master" she handed the scroll to Naruto who took out the sealing scroll the Hokage gave him and sealed it inside. "Now get little Uzumaki I bet Hiruzen is looking for you"
Naruto stood up to leave but before the did he turn around hugged Chiyo and said "I'll make you proud Chiyo-sama" with that he left.
"You know in that scroll there's the Human Puppet Technique" there was a big silence a then Chiyo spoke" Ahh Shit, at least I took out the Puppet immortality technique"
"HAHAHAHAHA" the old man fell to the floor laughing his ass off
