Title: Never in other ways
Chapter 7
In Suna, they meet Tsunade, who immediately help Naru in a small operation.
They stay in Suna for a while until Naru's strong enough to travel back to Konoha.
During their stay, Shikamaru learn some information related to Suna-Konoha alliance, while Kakashi meet the Kazekage and talk some matters regarding the alliance between Suna-Konoha.
Naru during her recovery always find a way to sneak out from hospital. She often goes to park and explore the market.
Then after some bickering with the hospital nurse, Naru finally discharged, but still need to stay in Suna until she really recover from the operation.
One day, after buying some snack she decided to spend more time in the park.
When arrived there are many kids running around. Naru walk to one of empty spot in the park.
She meet a young boy with red hair, black circle around his eyes and a kanji word for 'Ai' (LOVE), sitting in one of the swing.
Naru smile and walk closer to the boy.
"Hello, mind if I sit in this swing?" Naru asks while motioned to the swing beside the boy.
The boy's eyes widened and he nod slowly. Naru keep smiling and put down her large bag of snacks.
"Hi, my name is Naru. Who is your name?" Naru asks and offered her hand.
"Gaara" The boy said without looking at Naru.
"So, Gaara, wants to eat?" Naru asks and rummaging through the bag. She pulls out one box of big onigiri. The box has 5 onigiri with different taste.
Naru give one to Gaara, but the boy didn't move. Finally Naru stand up and walk closer to Gaara.
She then take Gaara's hand and put the onigiri in his hand.
"It's delicious. You should taste it." Naru said and smiling. She takes one and eats it too.
Gaara stare with disbelief at her and can't take his eyes off her.
"Y...you..." Gaara start. Naru interest perk up and she look at Gaara. "You don't afraid of me?" Asks Gaara. Naru's eyebrow is raise up and realization dawn upon her.
"You are the same like me?" Asks Naru. Gaara's eyes widened. That's confirm Naru's suspicious.
She smiles at the boy and sit in front of him. "Why should I'm afraid of you?" Naru asks.
"Because I am a monster" Gaara said. Naru shook his head. "No, you are not." Naru said and close the box of onigiri and put it in the swing.
Then she walks back to Gaara and hug him.
"Remember this, you are you. Nobody can say you are monster or not because the one really know the truth is only yourself." Naru said. Her hand runs through Gaara's hair.
"I am not a monster?" Gaara asks.
"You are not. Remember this, whatever happened, you are a human. Never forget that." Naru continue.
Gaara's hands immediately circle Naru's waist and bring her closer. They stay like that for a moment before Naru's stomach decided to ring-a-bell.
"Ups, guess I hungry." Naru said with small smile. She then let go of Gaara, but his hand didn't bulge.
"Say, I won't go anywhere. After we ate, wants to go with me?" Asks Naru. Gaara look up at her.
"Where?" Gaara asks.
"Some other place to play together" Naru said with her usual smirk.
Then they ate the snack Naru's bought while continue their light conversation. After that Naru take Gaara with her to meet Kakashi.
During their stay, Kakashi got a guest house that offered by the Kazekage.
Naru and Gaara head to the guest house.
"'Kashi, you are there?" Asks Naru when she opened the door. Sitting in the couch is Kakashi with casual clothes along with his infamous orange icha-icha book.
"Naru, welcome home" Kakashi said. Then his eyes narrowed when seeing the ichibi jinchuriki. "And who is the friend?" Asks Kakashi.
"'Kashi, this is Gaara. We meet in park." Naru said then look at Gaara. "This is Hatake Kakashi, let just say he is my older brother." Naru said.
"Hello Gaara-kun." Kakashi said which Gaara return with a nod.
"Nee, can Gaara stay with us for a time being?" Naru asks. Kakashi look at her and then at Gaara before nod his head.
"Yei, Gaara, let's go to my room." Naru said and pull Gaara with her.
They talk a bit about Gaara's lives and Naru's lives in Konoha. Then they talk about which tail they hold.
Gaara shocked hearing that Naru is the Nine-tails vessel, but Naru didn't shock at all learning that Gaara is Ichibi, Shukaku's vessel.
Naru asks why Gaara have the dark circle around his eyes and he said that he can't sleep because the monster will go berserk if he does.
Naru's eyebrows perk up and she told Gaara to show her, his seal.
After Naru take a look at the seal, her hand immediately shoot up and repair the seal. She has been learning about seal especially about her seal.
Gaara who surprised let out a loud scream and a huge amount of sand shoot out around them.
Naru immediately link to Kurama to help her calm down Shukaku.
After her nine birthday, Kurama makes his presence know to Naru and be her friend.
Kurama also teach her various things and their bond getting stronger.
During the repair process, Kurama's red chakra pin Gaara's hands and legs to keep him still.
Then, after the process finished, the sand returned to normal and Gaara lost his conscious.
Naru clean the room and because too many sand decided to let it be and take out two blanket for Gaara and herself.
Kakashi is knocking on the door worried if something happened to Naru, but she send her clone to tell Kakashi that everything is okay and nothing bad happened to her.
After that, Kakashi nod and back to what he has been doing before.
