Ok, here's the next chapter. x It's a very short one, and it explains my view of the sealing jutsus.
Oh and btw, about chapter 2. I have put up some comments at the top and the bottom, but it just won't show. And I've actually fixed it the same way as all the others. I don't understand why it just won't change. Ah well...

Chapter 4 "The secret behind sealing a Bijuu."
Under the time Naruto had some fun with the rookies, Gaara was doing paperwork. He didn't pay much attention to it though. Sure, he could tell Temari what he was actually doing in the library all day, but he wasn't so sure it would make a huge different. He gave up a sigh, when Temari suddenly burst in. Gaara jumped.
"I caught you!" She shouted.
"Temari, can you keep your voice down," Gaara complained and put his hands over his ears.
"My head hurts."
"That's because you haven't slept stupid."
Gaara glared at his sister. "You could at least show your brother, the Kazekage, some respect."
"Is it just me, or are you beginning to get a little spoiled?" She asked Gaara and glared back.
Her brother gave up another sigh. "What did you caught me with?"
Temari grinned. "Not working."
Gaara put his head for rest in his hand.
"This doesn't seem important at the moment," he simply answered when his older brother entered.
"Seriously Gaara, you are starting to fall behind," he said in defence of his sister.
"Not you too Kankurou," Gaara said as he yawned.
"I agree with Temari, you are getting a little spoiled. You should try to decrease the pile of work."
He pointed at the wall, were three meter high piles of paper stood. Gaara glanced at them, and moaned.
"It's your fault Gaara," Kankurou told him. "If you just stopped to spend your time in the library you wouldn't have this much work. With you gone me and Temari have been forced to deal with lending out missions. It's about time that the Kazekage get's back to the Kazekage's duties."
Gaara lifted his head from the hand.
"Fine, he said. But then it looks like I will have to tell you what I was doing in the library. If I'm going to work with this," he pointed at the pile, "you'll have to help me with finding what I was looking for."
Kankurou and Temari glanced at each other. Gaara pointed at two chairs in front him, and his siblings sat down. He took out a paper from one of his drawers and put it down on the desk.
"Well, to put it simple," he began, "after Konoha and Sand defeated Akatsuki I got a little curious about what they were doing. Extracting the Bijuu's I mean. I decided to make some studies on sealing jutsus. In the beginning I was in the library at night, but as time passed by I noticed that I began to get tired. I was afraid something like that would happen, since I don't have the Shukaku anymore. So I had to begin to read during day. That was about a year ago."
"You didn't get tired until after a year?" Temari asked.
"You thought I was sleeping, I know. But I was in the library. Yes, it took a whole year before I noticed that. Anyway, that's when the pile of work started to grow a little higher, but I still kept up with it. Then I noticed something interesting two days ago."
"When you started to sit there without leaving."
Gaara nodded and continued.
"First, I studied the seal Naruto has," he said. "It was, no is, a four elemental seal. It consists of the elements fire, wind, water and earth. This is the most interesting thing I found out, the sealing jutsu Akatsuki used, was a nine elemental jutsu."
"Nine elements, but there only are five, right?" Kankurou said and raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, only five main elements, but there are special ones, who is created by mixing two main elements. So I figured, why nine elements? The answer is simple. Every Bijuu has an own element. The Shukaku has sand, and the Kyuubi has fire, the most destructive element. Are you starting to see where I'm getting at?"
"Maybe," Kankurou said.
"To be able to seal a Bijuu, the seal must consist of at least three elements. Its own element, the element that makes it stronger and the element that weakens it. We take the Kyuubi as an example. The Kyuubi's main element is, after what I discovered, fire. Wind makes fire stronger; it's the fire's fuel. Water weakens it, or extinguishes it. The fire and wind, and the water, rely on different things."
He paused to drink from the glass of water on his desk.
"You must know by now that the Bijuu reacts on your emotions." They nodded. "That is the fuel of the wind and fire. The water relies on your will. The reason Naruto was very unstable when the seal started to weaken is that he is very emotional. But that is not the only reason. The elements are not the best combination. What does earth do when water covers it?"
"Suck it up," Temari said.
"Exactly, even when Naruto's will is strong, the earth sucks away some of the water and that gives the fire a little more space. The seal has been stable now though."
"And the Shukaku?" Kankurou asked his older brother.
Gaara smiled. "Sand is one of the four remaining elements. I know two others, snow and wood, which is made by mixing water and wind, and water and earth. I'm not so sure about the last one, I haven't figured it out yet, but I have to. The Shukaku's main element is sand, and what powers sand is earth. You know that one of the Shukaku's abilities is to mix the earth's minerals with the sand. And what weakens sand is water."
"So why does Akatsuki need a nine elemental jutsu?" This time it was Temari who asked.
"To seal all the Bijuus in one place they need to use the same jutsu. And to be able to weaken every Bijuu enough you need to have their weaknesses. That is also the reason they needed nine people. Everyone of them controlled one element. Just to make sure it worked Pein was the one who kept away the element who made the Bijuu's own element stronger. Kisame kept a hold on the element that was the bijuus' own, so that its power wouldn't increase, since he had the most chakra of the members. My guess is that Itachi took care of the part where they weakened the Bijuu's own power. And everyone else kept the other elements away."
Gaara stopped and started to think. For some reason he remembered the fight he had with the Akatsuki, against someone named Deidara. Then he suddenly got a brainwave.
"Hey Gaara, why did you stop?"
"I know the last element. It's another mix between earth and water, but it doesn't produce wood."
"What? What's the element?" Kankurou asked.
"Deidara's bloodline limit," Gaara answered with excitement. "I would never have figured it out if I hadn't fought him. That explosive clay he uses, he makes it himself. By mixing water and earth."
"You're telling us that the last element is clay?" Kankurou asked his older brother with doubt.
Gaara nodded. "No doubt about it. Deidara controlled his own element. That's why they needed him in the Akatsuki. He was one of the last skilled ones in that clan, and the only one that was good enough for that purpose, at the moment."
"What about the other special elements?" Gaara shook his head.
"They are not as special as clay."
"You're not trying to do what I think you're trying to do, right?" Temari asked with worry in her voice.
"What is it that you think I'm trying to do?" Gaara asked and looked at her.
"You're not planning to get the Shukaku back are you?"
Kankurou looked at her sister with a surprised face. Gaara stood up and walked over to the window.
"It is for the good of the village," he simply said.
"What good has the Shukaku ever done for the village? Gaara, don't do this!" Temari had also stood up. "You're not going to sacrifice yourself again, I won't let you!"
Temari's eyes filled with tears. Gaara closed his.
"This has nothing to do with what the Shukaku has done. It's what he can do." Temari dried her eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"If someone by chance would be able to get their hands on the Shukaku, this village is as good as gone. If someone made a Jinchuuriki out of the Shukaku in another village, this one can be completely destroyed. This village is surrounded by sand. He is the village's most powerful weapon, but he can easily be turned against us now that he's out of our control."
"And you are willing to become the possessor of that power again?"
Gaara turned to face her. "I have become weak. Weaker then I used to be. Sure, I have some jutsu's, and I can still control sand, but nothing that can really protect the village. The Shukaku is too of a great loss to leave as he is. This time it is at least my choice. I would like you two to support me."
Kankurou spoke. "I'm right with you bro."
Gaara smiled at him. Temari felt she was in a pressed situation. Gaara put his hands on her shoulder.
"It will be different this time. You worry too much."
"I just don't want you to be in such pain again," she said, trying not to cry.
Gaara just kept smiling. Temari shook her head.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?"
"I'm willing to try."
She looked into her brother's eyes. She didn't see any doubt in them. That gave her the feeling that he was completely aware of what he was doing.
"I'll do whatever I can." Gaara removed the hand from her shoulder.
"Great!" He said with enthusiasm. "I want you to search through the books in the library about how you extract a Bijuu. And find the only jutsu that can possibly brake trough the nine elemental seal. I have a feeling we will have to use people who can control their own element though. The sand is no problem, I can do that." He smiled. "The problem is the clay and the snow."
"What about the wood?" Kankurou asked
"There is one man who can control that element. He's in Konoha. The one who was with Naruto when we supported them against Akatsuki."
"You mean Yamato?"
Gaara nodded. "We need to find someone from the same clan as Deidara in the Hidden Village of Rock. However, Deidara's name can not be very popular there. The biggest problem is snow. If you find a jutsu, I'm going to talk to the council. Hopefully they will understand my reason and agree. And then we will send a message to Konoha to see if they have any idea where to get someone who can control snow. You go to the library," he took a few papers from the piles along the wall, "and I'll take care of these."
He put them down on the desk. Temari and Kankurou nodded and strode out of the room. When they were out of the room Gaara grinned and pushed the papers aside.
"No way I'm going to be able to work with these now. I'm going to get some rest." He laid down his head on the desk and closed his eyes.
Back in Konoha
"We passed?" Kino said, and couldn't hide his happiness, neither how surprised he was.
"Yes, you did. Can't believe Kakashi-sensei doubted you would," Naruto said and laughed.
"We're starting our missions tomorrow. Make sure that you get in time."
"I say the same to you sensei," Onaru said.
Naruto gave him a smile and walked over to free Kino.
"Sure, I will," he said. "Well, you guys walk back on your own, I have something to do. See you later guys." And he dissapeared.
"What was that chakra that he showed when we fed Kino, and why does he use the same chakra when he dissapears?" Shora asked the others.
"How should I know?" Kino said, and Onaru shrugged.
"I'm sure he's hiding something," she said and scratched her chin. "And I'm going to find out what."
Onaru and Kino rolled their eyes and gave eachother a glance that said: Why does she even care?
