/ chapter nine,/

Gaara noted the damage upon arriving outside his village. And the new lake that was there was definitely new.

" Uzumaki you better not have destroyed my village or tower." The irrational red head groaned. Felling a head ache coming on

" can't be that bad brother, I mean Naruto's a Baka but he's not that dumb." The puppet user mumbled idly still gaping at the man made lake.

" indeed we will have to knock down a corner of the wall and bring this lake indoors." Gaara said walking past the lake and toward the massive gates of Suna idly noting a part of sand poured back into his gord.

" Kazakage-sama! It's lord Gaara he's returned!" Shouted a jonin before sounding the alarm.

" well Gaara it seems your People missed you," Tsunade said softly walking beside the younger Kage.

" indeed it does, that would be what I would thank but I don't see anyone meeting us temari?" Gaara asked staring at his sister. Who had remained silent ever since the trip back and the river.

" I'm fine Gaara, just worried about Naruto," temari said softly reaching the gates as they opened wide showing the village intact with minor damage

" lord Kazakage, it's good you have returned." Baki said kneeling with two Anbu behind him.

" Ah Baki-Sensi, what happend here? And we're is the blonde idiot?" Gaara asked noting the Anbu stiffing," well?"

" he's in the hospital, He suffered posin from Sasori of the red sand, and we expect internal damage from dedria of Iwa the mad bomber. He engaged both in combat before swiftly defeating the bomber and moving on to Sasori he summoned argon to aid in the fight, both bodie's are at the morge and Under strict surveillance". Baki said kneeling he felt the wind pick up to see temari had disappeared alongside the taller blonde woman.

Gaara watches as a smile turned his normal stonic face," thank you Baki, I'm sure those new seal's Naruto made for us helped did it not?" The red head Asked Motion for them to stand

"yes and no Gaara, they didn't alert us to there presence only when a bomb went off did we know and raised the alarm." Baki replies falling in step between the two brother's.

" Anbu, report." Gaara said not looking back," what were Naruto's order's?"

" Gaara-sama, Naruto order was to evacuate the civilians and keep them same this order was for the Genin and chunnin while a three company's moved to secure the gate's and walls, all jonin and Anbu stood atop the wall's and watched as the fight ensued, he used sometime of teleportation justu to move a bomb form destroying the village, he swiftly defeated the mad bomber and he left us in a flash and justu's exploded due southwest eight miles. Shortly later it looked like the sky light up with lighting and Argon-sama brought the remains of the traitor back."

" that would explain the new lake." Gaara said his smile leaving his face," brother go with Baki and ensure all the seal's are undamaged or hindered in anyway, call out the reserve's and put them in active duty we must not allow anyone to thank we are week." Gaara said before leaving in a sand storm sunshin.

/ hospital, same time,/

temari was shocked the civilians and kids swarmed the hospital and she had a time to get through the door,

" excuse me, which room is Naruto in?" She Asked and a tick mark formed on her forehead as the nurse payed no attention.

" I don't care who you are, the council and elder's have deemed none to see Naruto, only the elders and the Anbu commandeer is allowed there."

" I will see how Gaara fell's about you not allowing me entrance then!" Temari hissed and watched in pride as the nurse went pale.

" I'm sorry, Temari-Sama but it's the councils orders that none enter before Gaara-sama." The nurse struggling to say fearfully of losing her job, and life.

" I apologize temari-Sama, I didn't know it was you! In room 227 top floor can't miss it."

The sand princess grunted and stalked away leaving a terrific scared nurse shaking.

" hey she don't hit you." The puppet users snickers.

" atleast she don't wear makeup." Gaara'a stonic voice and the twitch of his mouth gave away his rather poor joke

- Naruto room same time-

" it's been a day. I hope Gaara got my scroll." The blocks said running a hand through his hair.

" you stupid Baka!" Temari's voice echoes across the room.

" now what a minute," naruto weakly protested. He only did what he had to do it's not like he meant to get hurt.

Temari teal eyes bore into blue before her face settled in a neutrality before she slept started walking toward him her hands clenching tightly.

" Temari-chan?" Naruto eyes winding when she set in the bed and hugged him tightky

" I was so worried the whole way here. Is the poison still there? What did the doctor 's say? Your not going to do anything stressful for atleast six weeks do you hear me." She rattled off muttering Baka underneath her breath.

Naruto didn't know what to make if it he frowned before a smile graced his lips even thou his muscles ached form the strain of the flash step and poison he grabbed the wind mistresse before pulling her into his lap and setting up he gently rubbed her back

" you remember our first mission?" His voice was raspy and gravely

Temari sniffles rubbing her puffy eyes." How could I forgot. You showed them what for when they tried to Take Gaara."

- flash back-

" you know what you both are to do?" Gaara Asked form his desk

" hai." Naruto and Temari answered at the same time. It creeped the Kazakage out

naruto rubbed his neck sheepishly he wore grey pants and black shinob Combat shoes his blue shirt short sleeved shirt on beneath that mesh armor and the grey chunnin vest showing his rank.

Temari - had her shippuden cloths- her battle fan strapped across her back

" good now go and find these bandits and clear them out for Suna." Gaara said and helped a breath when his blonde friend left without pulling a prank. He idly began to shift through his papers when his eyes caught a vacation form he picked it up noting it was stamped with his seal. " naruto uchiha and one Temari vacation for four days after or next mission..." he blinked and blinked again before slamming the Paper down.

- with blondes-

" say naruto when do you thank Gaara will notice your prank?" She asked standing at the gates.

" NARUTO."

The blonde sneezes before a smirk formed." About now shall we roll out hime!"

Temari's cheeks turned pinkish hue but said nothing as the blonde rushed pass her.

" tag your it catch me if you can." Naruto grinned like a Fox before running for his life.

/ land of river's two hours later evening/

After a game of tag both Suna shinob set by the fire fish they caught was cooking one tent was set up.

" so how long before the fish are cooked?" Temari Asked after setting down beside her fellow blonde.

" about twenty minutes prob. I miss my ramen." Naruto whined he didn't want to not have his ramen but Temari made his promise to lay off the Noodles

Temari huffed before leaning forward reaching her hand out to warmth of the fire.

" you know it's strange. Me and you. I never would have thought I'd end up with you." She said soflty. She played with the idea of the lazy person who ever word was troublesome.

" oh? And why's that? Am I that bad?" Naruto Asked with a raised eyebrow.

' foolish Baka she's playing you or teasing you.' The Fox said before going back to sleep.

/ scene change./

a ringing sound was buzzing a alarm clock. It kept going off vibrateing he rolled out of bed and brought his hands up to rub the sleep away

" it was a dream?!" Naruto said mumbling to himself he reached for his headband and brought it to his eyes before grunting knowing it was a dream as instead of a Suna headband it was the leaf.

" shit it's five am Sensei said to be at the tranning ground at seven am sharp ." Naruto said before getting up and going to his closet to get his favorite jump suit once the door opend be boticed immediately his jumpsuit's were all gone." COME ON NOT MY JUMP SUITS!." Naruto Shouted. Giving up and walking into the kitchen he saw something new. A bag more specifically a bag with cloths and a note. Curious he opened the note.

' uzumaki-San If you wish to be a true Shinob you must act like one. These cloth's are a gift..'

re reading it he frowns before shrugging and grabbing a black shirt and shorts grateful for his shoes not being there and not stolen.

/ meanwhile hokage offie./

" I must ask what and why are you retiring form Anbu?! To train a fresh Genin?!" Hiruzen Asked soflty and slowly.

" yes, I've put in the six year active duty and four years in reserves. and I see a good potential inside him." Yugao said back. Her attire was a grey short sleeved shirt and mesh armor underneath it and a standard jonin flack jacket. And dark blue pants and black Shinobi shoes.

" I see-" Hiruzen was interrupted when the door swung open and Kakashi barged into the room you could see steam coming out of his ears

" how could you?! I requested naruto before he even entered the academy!?"the copy cat raced and questioned.

Kakashi stoped in his rant when a potent killing intent flooded the room

" now that your pissing contest I's done. Are am I mistaken?!" Hiruzen Asked getting a no he sighs before taking a puff of his trusty pipe.' Gods grown adults acting like children I'm to old for this. Minato how thangs would have been better if one of you survived.'

" lord Hokage?!" Yugao drawled our meekly not wishing to Incur the professor's wraith upon herself

" right you are my dear. Now Young naruto is being put with Yugao due to her and other Anbu report's you only trained Sasuke and Sakrua. And on top of that.. you only taught him teamwork exercises! Always complaining about his lack of chakra control. And you didn't even teach him waterwalking! Or tree walking! Give me one good reason why I shouldn't disband team seven and assign them to proper Jonin Sensei's?"

Each word that the older Kage said made the copy cat flinch. for all his years of service he'd never been lashed out that bad before. Scolde yes. But not talked down to.

" he's Sensei's son."

" Yugao your dissmied. Go collect your new student. Kakashi take a seat we're going to have a long chat."

Yugao nodded and left in a body flicker leaving a swirl of leafs

Hiruzen sighs before stretching back in his chair." Now first off are the issues of neglecting your students."

Kakashi gulped nervously nodding his head meekly.

/ With Naruto/

" hmp," Sasuke grunted at seeing his useless teammate.

" morning bastred." Naruto grunted before setting agaist the tree and rolling his shoulder's

" naruto Sasuke-kun how are you today?!" Sakura asked jogging up to the two.

Naruto blinked slowly.' Did she just talk to me without hitting me?!'

" hmp."

All three stood at attention when a Swirl of leafs appeared and a woman jonin stood before them.

" we're is Kakashi-Sensei?!" All three members of the newly minted team seven Shouted and asked.

Yuago gaze flicked between each one and lingered more in the blonde before she crossed her arms.

" uzumaki you are being removed from team seven and apprenticeship under me. The rest of you a new replacement shall come shortly."

" what? How can I leave?!" Naruto Shouted it didn't set well with him at all leaving his friends.

" yea why I mean I know he's a bad ninja but he's gotten better slightly." Sakura said slowly.

" to receive a apprenticeship if a rare thang. I will speak with the hokage about this." Sasuke said preparing to leave his advance was halted when the copycat voice Entered the clearing

" not so fast. Sasuke Sakura. I just came from a meeting with the hokage and he he deemed it better for naruto to learn solo."

" naruto come with me please." Yuago said extending her hand naruto walked forward and clapped her hand with his both left in a body flicker.

" what now?" Sakura asked confused.

" well we work on Taijutsu and then ninjutsu. And laps. I've. Been to lax in my teachings."

" but what about naruto?!" Sasuke asked through gritted teeth

' got to work that attitude out of him. Especially since we are under review.' Kakashi thought before instruction's began after all he would not lose anymore of his team.

- training ground six-

" ok. Now that's done let's clear any doubt you may ask questions now?" Yugao said standing still a bit of humor in her eyes as the blonde was sick from the body flicker.

" am I a bad ninja then?" Naruto Asked having got his bearings. " and what was that Jutsu?"

" to be blunt yes. But that is why I intervened and aided in your dismissal from tram seven to salvage your future as the. Best shinobi you can be." Yuago payed catching her breath making sure the blonde was still with her." And the Jutsu you just experienced is called the body flicker or sunshine Jutsu."

Naruto winced at the bad ninja he knew it was true. But it still stung being told so directly

" do not worry you can always improve. Your ninjutsu and Taijutsu will be first up I've seen it and it's sloppy. But can be fixed. Have you anymore questions?"

Yugao watched him nod she waved for him to go on

" what will you teach me besides that?" Naruto Asked paying attention

" everything you messed from the academy and upward's. I see you didn't bring the new cloths I bought for you? Why?" Yugao Asked soflty her voice held no commanding tone a curious one.

Naruto shifted slightly his hands rubbing his neck.

' A nervous habit I'll have to break.' Yuago thought frowning mentally she'd correct the problems as she encountered them. A light bulb went off in her head

" also form now on you will live with me. And before you argue with me you are still a child and technically I'm your guardian now.." she pauses seeing no outbursts she smiled." And you shall be able to have proper help and food. Now that's out of the way let's go."

" go we're Sensei?"

" to get you settled in and plan a training plan for you." Yuago said leading the blonde out of the area and toward her home.
