Betrayal or Trust

ch. 10

Sasuke POV

"Alright, if were going to get to the bottom of this I think it would be better if we weren't standing in the middle of the road."

I said, looking from one teammate to the next. They all nodded their heads, the small girl jumped up.

"Oh, oh. We can go to my house. It's not far."

She grabbed my hand and Sakura's pulling us into the woods. Team ten followed.

Gaara's POV

My siblings were on my sides as I walked up to Konoha's village gates.

"Who goes there? State your business?"

I saw a leaf ninja on the watch tower call down. Kankuro yelled up angrily.

"How dare you show such little respect for the Kazekage of the Sand!"

I could see the guard flinch and immedialty appear in front of us, his face tense and shocked.

"Lord Kazekage...I'm so sorry...I just-"

"Quit babbling you bafoon. Gaara-kazekage as very important business to discuss with your Lady Hokage."

The ninja proably no more than a chunin was frozen in place his eyes jumping from my brother and sister, anywhere but where I stood.

"Idiot! Open let us in!"

Temari yelled reaching for her fan on her back.

"Yes, ma'am."

He almost stubbled over his feet but hurried to open the gate. We walked into the village leaving a very frieghten shinobi againt the wall. It didn't take too long for us to reach the hokage tower. We meet the Hokage's assistant as we entered.

"Lord Kazekaga!?"

Shizune flipped through her clipboard frantically.

"Were we expecting you?"

I nodded my head.

"No."

I plainly said. Her eyes looked from her board to us again, finally she sighed.

"Come Lady Tusnade will be overjoyed to see you lord Gaara."

We followed her, I kept my arms crossed across my chest. My mind completly focused on what I was going to say.

"Right through here."

She open the door for us. I saw Tusande leaning against her hands looking down at the pile of paper work. When she looked up she was heavily surprised to see us walking into the room.

"Gaara? Shizune, were we-"

"No my lady, this is an unexpected visit."

Tusnade stood. Her musceles tensed as she stood before us, she sighed heavily.

"Gaara there is only one reason you would come without noticethis is about... Naruto."

Shizune nearly jumped and clutched her clipboard to her chest, I nodded.

"Gaara, I know that you and Naruto-"

"How could you lock up that little squirt!"

Kankuro yelled taking a step forward.

"Look I had no choice-"

"No choice!? You're the hokage, no one could force you!"

Temari sounded even more angry than my brother, Tusnade was still completely focused on me. My eyes peered to the door just as Tusnades' had. The door swung open and there stood a foreign youth, his headband read Rain Country.

"Mr. Hiasha I'm in a private meeting."

Tusnade said in a rather angered voice. I turned my back to the Leaf Hokage and faced the rain shinobi.

"You're Seye Hiasha."

I stated frankly, the youth cracked a smile and raised his eyebrow.

"And you're Gaara of the Sand."

He almost laughed as he said my name, my face remained composed, unlike my siblings.

"You punk. You'll give Gaara respect."

My brother warned. I placed my hand up silencing them both.

"You're the one who accused Naruto of murder. I don't know who you think you are but Naruto Uzamaki would never do this, and unless you want the rage of the sand on your head you better find better evidence."

"Ha! You command me!? You're just like that Naruto, a simple beast carrier. I've heard about you, and as far as I'm concerned, you deserve to die just like he will."

Seye's snickered was cut short when sand surrounded him binding against his arms and legs.

"What the-"

Seye tried to pull away from the sand but it held him. He looked up at me, his eyes, fearful.

"You are a coward, I should kill you right now."

I lifted my arm and formed my hand into a tight fist. I could invision his blood flying onto the walls. In all truths I hadn't had this desire to kill anyone since I was lost years ago, when I first fought Naruto.

"Enough Gaara!"

Tusnade walked over and released the sand surrounding the youth. Seye fell to his knees gasping for air.

"Gaara if I have to order you to leave this village I will."

She warned. My face composed, my arm dropping down to my side. I inhaled and walked past Tusnade and Hiasha.

"Where are you going Gaara?"

Tusnade asked letting me pass, I out my hand up telling Temari and Kankuro to remain here.

"Before I talk to you any farther I am going to go visit Naruto."

Tusnade hesitated for a moment.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to break him out if that's your concern. I just need to talk to him. After all he is my fellow carrier of a tailed beasts."

I walked out.

Sasuke POV

It didn't take long for us to reach a rather small hut a small distance from the road. The small girl kept a firm grip on mine and Sakura's hand.

"This is where you live?"

Sakura said with utter shock and pity. I didn't say anthing as she lead us inside.

"Where are your parents?"

Ino asked her fingers interwined with Shikamaru's. Chouji was digging through his bag looking for something to help settle his stomach.

"Oh, my parents died a few years ago when I was like six or seven."

The girl just smiled as we stepped into the one room home. She scurried over to the fireplace and began heating up tea.

"How old are you exactly? And your name?"

Shikamaru asked as Ino pulled away to help her with the tea.

"I'm 10, and my name is Nina."

"You're ten and living on your own!"
Sakura gasped, covering her mouth. We all sat down at the rather small table as she poured each of us tea.

"Look we have a mission, you need to tell us what you know."
I said as she placed herself between Sakura and I. She sighed looking down at the smoking tea.

"Lord Seye did kill our people and Lord Misho."

"Tell the story from the beginning."

I ordered, Sakura gave me a disapproving look. I sighed.

"Please tell us."

"I was gathering berries so make myself a special treat for myself tonight when I stumbled almost into the main road. I Heard fighting and when I arrived I saw our own ninja fighting against a yellow haired guy in an odd looking jumpsuit."

We all gathered that was Naruto.

"I kept watching, I had never seen ninjas really fight before. Suddenly the leaf ninja, you guys said his name was Naruto? Well he cloned his self by like twenty or something. There was too many to count. Well he took out all of our shinobi in mintues I was very impressed. But he shortly passed out on the ground then..."

Nina quivered and pressed up against Sakura.

Nina POV (past)

"What the?"

Lord Misho said staring at the unconsious bodies of his shinobi.

"good heavens!"

Lord Misho approached the exhausted teen on the ground, heavily breathing.

'This one boy did all of this. Son? Hey are you awake kid."

Lord Misho poked Naruto lying on his back. Grunting sounded behind him, Lord Misho turned to see his captain regaining consisious.

"Man that kid packs a wallop."

Lord Misho laughed.

"Well Tenchi is this kid dangerous, if he is then I'm going to have to get better ninja body guards."

"No sir, he's strong. I don't believe he wants to kill us, he would have by now if he wanted to."

"Then why was there a fight?"

"Well...sir."

Tenchi blushed a little.

"We kinda started it when we saw it on the road, he wouldn't leave the road when ordered and I guess we acted a little edgy. He annouced he was Naruto Uzumaki."

"Well we can't leave him here, we should carry him with us in my carriage. Hopefully he'll wake up soon."

Naruto's body twitched.

"Oh, is he awake. Son are you coming to..."

Lord Misho bent over examining Naruto, instantly Naruto's eyes popped open, they were the eyes of beast, blood red.

"What the devil!"

Lord Misho yelled jumping back and falling on his butt.

"Get...away from...me"

Naruto's voice echoed. He sloppyily got to his feet, his hair and face altering. Naruto grabbed his head grumbling in pain.

"P..ain...where is...all this pain..."

Lord Misho looked back at Naruto as his captain stepped in front of him.

"He's a tailed beast."

"What did you say sir?"

Red chakra began evaporating from Naruto's body.

"What is happening to me...where is this...pain..coming from..."

"Pain? Son! What kinda of pain? Are you a tailed beast!"

Misho asked franically. Naruto looked over at him, his eyes changing from normal to beast like.

"Nine-tails..."

Misho watched in horror has Naruto stumbled around clutching his head.

"The nine-tails beast! Sir what do we do!"

"He's feeling unimaginable pain right now, but only two people know the jutus to erupted a beast until it comes out...it couldn't be."

Lord Misho looked around frantically.

"Seye..."

Lord Misho whispered turning back to the animal before him.

Gaara's POV

The leaf shinobi didn't object much as I entered the prison I even gave up my sand gorde willingly. I was disgusted at the cell they put Naruto in, I did have to fight my will, to set him free.

"Gaara! Whoa is that you!?"

Naruo asked as he ran over to the bars. His hands were bound with seals and his face had dry blood and bruises.

"Naruto."

Naruto let a gaint smile cover his face.

"The Huuyga girl and her team came to me and my siblings in the Sand village."

"Gaara you know you can't break me out-I don't want you to."

"Naruto-if they kill you...I'm going to withdraw our treaty with Konoha."

"You can't!"

Naruto yelled pushing against the bars.

"Gaara, the leaf isn't to punish...no one is."

Naruto turned his back to me and slid down the bars to the ground.

"If I die Gaara. Just forget me. Don't punish the village I love."

"How can you say that Naruto. Look where you are, look who put you here."

It surprised me when Naruto bowed his head.

"I did. Gaara, it coming back to me little by little. You know as well as me how powerful the beasts are. I remember feeling the fox's chakra, when I came back to my senses...I told Tusnade when I left, the Rain shinobi were alive...I lied. They were dead."

"That doesn't mean the fault lies with you. I know what killing and being a monster is Naruto-that is something you could never be."

"Gaara, I love this village like you love the yours. I killed them Gaara. I've already confessed to Tusnade and gave up my right to a trial..."

"What are you talking about..."

"I deserve something worse than death for killing innocent people. At least tomorrow at five o'clock I can pay for my crimes."

My eyes grew wide with realization and shock.

"No! This isn't right Naruto. At least wait for the rest of your friends to come back and see what they have found!"

"No Gaara. How am I suppose to handle it when they come back with the evidence that concludes what I did."

"It might not-..."

"No Gaara. I know what I did. Its best this way, I don't want the people I love to see me when I die. I don't want them here."

"Naruto..."

"I'm sorry Gaara, but you're one of those people too, you and your siblings should leave."

I was about to arguing again when Naruto lifted his hand and told me to leave, for some reason I couldn't object.

"Naruto..."

I whispered as I walked away, but not for good.
