Ahaha so I know that this group of stories is supposed to concern the fact that Gaara + Sugar is a very deadly combo and telling practically the same story over and over is…boring…so instead the rest are just going to be humorous moments.
Chapter 4
The following takes place before Gaara becomes Kazekage and so therefore before Naruto becomes Hokage.
"Gaara ready to swim?" Naruto said throwing his hands in the air. Gaara had a bad feeling. He was never a good swimmer. Walking on water sure…swimming…yeah I think a raccoon could do better…
"…Naruto I really don't think this is a goo-" He was cut off midsentence by Naruto pushing him over the cliff into the lake. The water was freezing. But what could one expect in March? Gaara lost his breath from the sheer cold. Unfortunatley Naaruto had to pick the deepest part of the lake. Gaara shot back up quickly for air.
"I hate-"
"Cannon ball!" Naruto yelled jumping off. Along with about a hundred clones. Gaara was covered by a wave of water sending him under again. It was even colder the second time. He came back a few seconds later.
"You…"
" Love you too!"
"Oh shut up." Gaara snapped. He was freezing. Naruto grinned. Gaara dog paddled off towards the shallow side.
"Gaara wait!" Naruto called.
"No! I'm staying in the shallow end." He said paddeling to the middle of the lake.
"Gaara!" Naruto called again.
"What?" He snapped. Turning to look at Naruto he saw terror on his face. Naruto pointed behind him. Gaara turned around ready to see what had the blonde looking like that. Gaara's eyes widened. Before him stood (floated?) a giant snapping turtle. It was bigger than both of them and Chouji combined.
"Naruto…this is why I hate you." Gaara said calmly before summoning his sand to block the turtle that started to make its way towards him. Naruto swam over to Gaara who was by the beach already.
"I wonder why there are snapping turtles in snapping turtle lake?" Naruto said to himself but it was loud enough for Gaara to hear. Gaara twitched.
"Now I know where they got the whole having a blonde moment thing from…" Gaara mumbled. Suddenly just as Gaara got onto the beach and called back his sand with his back turned to the turtle. A smaller one came up behind him, about up to his waist, and snapped at him catching his swim trunks. This ended with them being ripped off by said turtle. And what perfect timing Sakura and Temari had that day.
