Chapter 10: Meeting Up
Land of Rivers, Forest
A few hours of traveling later, the sun has began to rise.
"Looks like they are not trying to stall us anymore." Kakashi said.
"I've been starting to think the same thing." Chiyo added.
"That means..." Sakura stated.
Kairu looked towards Naruto he could see he was getting visable pissed. "Naruto, you ok?"he didn't answer, Kairu looked again and could see that he was deep in thought (Most be Gaara.) he thought.
Naruto landed and kicked off from the tree going even faster than the others, "Hang on, Gaara I'm coming!" he yelled.
"Naruto not so fast, wait up!" Sakura yelled.
"Whys that boy pushing himself so hard to save Gaara, he not even from the same village?" Chiyo asked turning towards Kakashi. "And what in the world is his story?"
"Naruto is a Jinchuriki as well. He has the Nine Tailed Fox sealed inside of him. It's not that he has feelings for the Hidden Sand or it's people, but he and Gaara are both Jinchuriki. He knows how Gaara feels more than anyone ever could. After all, those who are Jinchuriki have been treated the same way in every village. That's way he feels this desperate need to save Gaara. It doesn't make any difference to him if he is from the Leaf, the Sand or anywhere else. He is a friend, whos felt the same pain Naruto's felt. Naruto's dream is to become the Hokage, so the news that Gaara was made Kazekage hit him pretty hard. He was frustrated, but at the same time at the bottom of his heart he felt happy for Gaara. You see Naruto has another remarkable power, he doesn't need much time or very many words to make almost everyone he meets his friend." Kakashi answered.
"As for me, I've lived a long life. I've seen many things in my time. I thought I've come to know the way the world works. I know that alliances with foreign lands are just for show and not to be trusted. I know that the only way to protect the Sand village was to do it myself. It was my jutsu that sealed the Shukaku into Gaara. After consulting with his father the Fourth Kazekage, of course. I truly thought I was helping my village, but I just ended up hurting it, and know I find that my people's survive is realizing on one of those with a foreign land I've never trusted. I've seen to be wrong about many things perhaps everything, I'm old and weary and I've learned just to give up. You know Kakashi, when I look at them and see their potential, I'm envious. Chiyo said.
"Oh no, you life has only just begun, you're still young." Kakashi said as Chiyo let out a laugh.
"Perhaps your right. Maybe there is a reason to keep a bag of bones like me around." Chiyo said.
Land of Rivers, Outside the Akatsuki Base
"No Lee." Guy said turning around with a smile, "Your late...Kakashi." The other members of Guy's team turned and watch the five ninjas and one wolf land behind them.
"Well you see, we ran into a little trouble along the way." Kakashi explained.
"Naruto! Sakura! Kairu!." Lee yelled.
"Kakashi by a little trouble you don't mean me right?" Chiyo questioned.
"Well!" Naruto growled.
"Naruto..." Neji said softly.
"Looks like we were just a step behind you guys." Sakura said.
"Ya...whos the old lady and that guy?" Tenten asked pointing at Kairu and Kitai.
"This is Lady Chiyo an advisor of the Sand village, and this..." Sakura said before being Lee opened his mouth.
"This Kairu he just came to the Leaf village, I'm sorry about the night friend." he shouted.
"It's fine we're good, this is Kitai my wolf." Kairu said rubbing his jaw thinking back to that night.
"Very pleased to meet you." Chiyo smiled.
"Now let's do this thing Kakashi." Guy ordered.
"Right." he answered.
