Naruto belongs to Kishimoto.

Snippet: "Yurisa-san, your the next candidate for kazekage?" The hokage, Tsunade spoke almost accusingly, clearing up the information in hopes to make a clear judgment.


Yurisa stood stiff in the room, feeling the eyes of jounin and, if genin were not in the hospital right that moment, they'd be doing the same. The jounin were surprised a candidate for Kazekage was put at risk, but soon rid of that surprise to believe having two kazekage level fighters even if not both are known was their way to ensure victory. It was only poor planning to not realize their other skilled fighter was not agreeing with the actions that were being made.

"I am a shinobi of Suna." Yurisa looked around after saying such, annoyed at the shock that was present on their faces at housing a candidate it seemed, "I am not kazekage, so stop looking at me like that." Muttering bitterly, losing hope of being anonymous to other villages by the shock that stays present.

Temari stepped up, "You are Yurisa-san. Sunagakure needs a leader, and who is better than you?" She stops in front of her sensei, still pleading with her, but what Yurisa said surprised Temari "If I become Kage... where will you and your brothers go? Yashamaru does not have large accomodations and I wont take your home." Temari could feel tears come to her eyes, but started swiping at them before giving her instructor a hug.

"We can stay with you... It was recommended we leave, unless you allowed us residency." Her voice muffled into Yurisa's shirt, but she hugged the blonde loosely and whispers "You and your brothers are welcome." With a small sad smile, knowing she signed up for the position by the end of it.

A soft cough interrupted the warm comfort that was given, to see Lady Tsunade arch a blonde brow and speak with amusement, "Shall I call you Lady Yurisa, then? Being that you are being kazekage soon, or shall we remain informal?" Their was a twitch of a smile on Yurisa's lips, because she found the informal option enticing to take up.

Neither of the sand siblings spoke up for the kages, before them, even if one was not formally made as such. "Informal is appreciated, for I will soon be tortured by formal bags of bones." Yurisa was referring to the council of elders, but she did not want to specify, although the job is helped by having them in their positions no matter how paranoid they are, or controlling of the position.

Yurisa straightened her back, and looked at Tsunade easily "I know Suna has done a great disloyalty to Konoha, but as candidate and possible Kazekage of Suna..." she breathes and thought, 'Little choice when the siblings are here for me, and the council is calling for me.' Then looked at the jounin present; Kakashi Hatake who lost his relaxed posture either from losing his student or the news itself, then to Ibiki Morino who had some emotion present this time around: being miffed at the evasion I did, but also some pride for holding a leader as criminal of war, at least my guess.

In the end, Yurisa was allowed to leave for Suna as soon as deemed necessary to her and the new escorts. Yurisa felt annoyance build 'Once someone says their position, than everyone trips over themselves... or accuses you of everything.' Watching by the check in post for her genin, who were saying good bye to their new friends.


Starting off, Yurisa left the Hokage's office to find people staring at her in awe and others looking to her with bitter anger, 'Great, they heard.' Was my only thoughts. "Yes? Why are you staring at me?" My head tilting, resting a hand on my hip in what I hoped was intimidating to the few watching, but the one at the desk whose name was either forgotten or never mentioned said, "Miss, why dont you just breathe..." trying to watch for any movement, until the suna genin came calling out, "Kazekage-sama..." all that was heard from one of the three siblings, before the room full of citizens and shinobi alike looked upon her more with fearful awe.

Irritated at being called upon as 'kazekage' she released herself, than shunshined out of the room and into the clear outside of Konoha and the training fields that rest within its borders. Fighting pr meditating was something that made her think, but also not think at all when really focused on a task.


Yurisa watched the genin say good bye before seeing the few jounin who watched her appear, Might Gai and kakashi Hatake. "I will be leaving your village an ally..." her words spoke, but she "hmm..." catching her thoughtful wonder Kakashi and Gai looked over her carefully, "We hope to remain allies with you..." Gai spoke passionately, and how it would be youthful to remain as such being that I proved a good companion when saving Rock Lee in the chuunin exams.

Kakashi seemed to just watch Yurisa, wondering what she was thinking or planning when she had a village to care for as well. "I am not a proper leader for Suna, just a temporary one." She waved her hand at the masked man by the look she saw, and looked to her genin again.

"Come on, or I will leave you three behind." She hollers as they jump in slight surprise of her call, but start towards her obediently. Once together, Yurisa smiled before speaking with an air of authority in her voice, "On way back, try not using chakra... if you got weights, use them." Pulling at her own shirt lightly to show a weight wrap on her hips.


The first few weeks in Konoha was slowly a dull affair, and when we were seen as visitors, not criminals of a attempt on the village Yurisa bought weights for her own training to improve her speed more. She always wanted to improve on her skills, it did not matter if it was taijutsu to ninjutsu because for her, she always wanted to have some skill in each area to keep an enemy guessing her abilities, instead of assuming she only knows taijutsu, ninjutsu or genjutsu in the end.

She saw Might Gai and Rock Lee running laps around Konoha with high spirits and speaking of running more as a challnge, while knowing they wore weights from the preliminaries and how fast they were in the end, even if a tough opponent they faced in the end.


Yurisa is conflicted on the position of Kage...
