Mental-Magikarp does not own Naruto
Mesashi spat out a mouthful of sand and glared at his brother.
"Why did Minoru open his mouth, when we were underground? He nearly killed me!" Mesashi moaned. Junechi ignored him and picked up Naoki. Wordlessly he shook the sleeping teenager until all the sand fell from his jet black hair. Naoki grunted and mumbled something in his sleep. Emiko was standing on a ridge looking down on the village hidden in the clouds. Junechi joined her, a glint in his eye that Mesashi had not seen since he left for Konoha. He smiled. Mesashi knew what he was thinking. After a mission the only thing Junechi wanted to do was see Yugito Nii, his girlfriend. Sighing Mesashi picked up Naoki and ran after his siblings.
Junechi ran to his tower. His heart was pounding. He couldn't wait to see Yugito again. He cleared the stair case in three bounds and landed outside his office. He pushed open the door to see…
The village elders were stood there grim faced and red eyed. Junechi looked at them.
"Why so low?" He asked, "What's happened?" There was silence for what seemed like an eternity and then the eldest of the eldars who had lived three of Junechi's lives spoke out.
"Whilst you were away in the land of the sand," She began, "Two men infiltrated the village. Yugito Nii went to fight them, but she never returned. These two men were from the organization known as the akatsuki. We can only presume that they killed her."
Junechi was stunned. He couldn't believe it. Not Yugito. She never lost, not with the two tailed beast inside her. Junechi felt in the pocket of his robes. The engagement ring was still there. Now it would never be used. He had planned to propose as soon as he saw her. Silently, he stepped out of the office and shut the large heavy door behind him. Some of the elders could've sworn they heard someone sobbing.
Meanwhile…
Gaara opened the scroll that the cloud shinobi had left. Quietly he scanned the contents. There was silence in the room, interrupted only by the squeaking of Kankuro's screwdriver and the occasional sip from Temari.
"Oh," Gaara said. Kankuro and Temari looked at him inquisitively, "I think we may have attacked the wrong people. They delivered this before Baki threw them out into the desert. It's a peace treaty signed by the Raikage." Kankuro dropped his puppet in shock and Temari choked on a mouthful of green tea. Without words Gaara stood and set off in the direction of his office. He knew what he would do with the scroll.
Well, that's it for chapter seven. In chapter eight Junechi sets out on a quest for revenge and bumps into an old "friend". Who is this mysterious friend? You'll have to wait and see.
