Disclaimer: Me no own Naruto. If I did…I would be with the hotness that is Itachi! *grabs Itachi plushie and hugs it to death*

Warning: has some suicidal tendencies and dark thoughts. And language. It also has some sexual related content in possible later chapters. No lemons or limes. I don't write that stuff (my friends (Cookie Dough and Chibi Lemon do).

BTW: Thank you so much to for the nice reviews! Hands out obscenely large pillows with the Naruto characters faces on them (which includes my Itachi-chan!) ^__^ Scolds the others for no reviews, but is then attacked by the people who haven't gotten anything. Luckily, since she escaped the last time, she was able to evade them. And pulls out a dangerous looking flame thrower. (evil glint in eyes) "You should've run when you had the chance. MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" (starts up flame thrower) "Run, bitches, run!!!"

"This is Spicy Lime's friend yet again. I apologize on her behalf…"

"I'M NOT SORRY DAMNIT!"

"…anyway. She's not always… ok, yes she is always like this, but she's usually more blunt about it. So, I apologize and please do not sue. Thank you." (Cookie Dough shoves her hand on Spicy Lime's mouth so that she doesn't say anything she will not regret).

Now…onto the story!

Last time:

"Yeah, Naruto, we want to know why you're hanging out with Gaara so much. It's kind of odd, considering he almost killed us." The pink-haired girl asked with the other two nodding their heads in agreement. 'Shit.' was the only thing that was going through the blond's head at the time.

"Well, you see…me and Gaara have a lot of similarities. It's like… only me and him can understand each other on a whole different kind of level. It's kind of complicated." He said a little nervously. It's not like he wasn't telling the truth. He just wasn't telling the whole truth.

The girls didn't really understand. How could Gaara understand Naruto better than anyone else? Gaara's a natural killer and Naruto wouldn't even hurt a fly! It was evident that something was up.

Sakura was the only one to actually act on this. "How can Gaara understand you better than anyone?! I mean… what do you even have in common?!" she started sputtering.

"Well, I don't really want to say and you wouldn't understand." He answered honestly.

Just as Sakura was about to counter, she heard a medic nin come in. Said medic nin had soon shooed the girls out. Naruto was quite grateful towards the medic and had thanked her. 'Well, that's one way to avert a crisis.' He thought. 'Sadly, I can't avoid it forever…although, I could try.'

With the girls:

They were pissed that he wouldn't answer them. He was obviously hiding something or trying to brush them off. Either way…they were still upset.

Kurenai did know that Gaara and Naruto both have demons in them, but that's the only thing she could think of that the two would have in common. She wasn't going to tell the girls this because she didn't think that they knew about that little fact. Besides, if she said about Naruto being a container, the Third's law still stands and she would be executed. 'Oh well. I'll have to wait and see.' She thought to herself as the three entered their room.

The next day, they were all reporting for duty and were waiting to start. They were to split into three groups. Team one, which consisted of Sakura, Kiba, Shino, and Kankuro, Team two, which consisted of Hinata, Kurenai, Sasuke, and Naruto, and Team three, which consisted of Temari, Kakashi, and Gaara.

The teams were set up so that they each had two who were good trackers and two who were good fighters, in case something happens. Team three was set up so that The three "strongest" were together. It wouldn't be good if Temari got herself killed.

Each team was assigned a sector of Suna to look for the leader of the rebellion. From there, if they were to find him or her, the person in the group wearing the relay gear would tell the others where they are. That way, they would be able to go in on their own, but would have back up.

With Team one:

They were currently in a nicer area in Suna. As they jumped from rooftop to rooftop, they were looking for suspicious activities. They did spot a strange person with a huge overcoat on hiding in the shadows, but it was just a drug dealer.

After a few hours of doing nothing, but looking for suspicious looking people, which could be anybody, they decided to take a break and get something to eat. It was a couple hours past noon. The team eventually found a nice restaurant and talked and ate, trying to alleviate the boredom.

They weren't too talkative since they didn't know each other too well. Shino was almost always quiet. Sakura and Kiba didn't get along very well, and Kankuro was the odd-man-out. He didn't know any of them at all, really. But, they did the best they could.

Many hours later, after they ate, they were looking out from the rooftops. The sun was setting and not too many people were out now. This was getting old, fast. They were about to turn in when they saw just what they were looking for. A hooded man stepped out of the shadows of the alley when another strange man started to walk by.

Shino saw this and signaled to the others. They apparently saw it too and wanted to know what to do. Shino signaled to Kiba to listen in since he has the best hearing.

"…morrow. Yeah. I can't believe that asshole. He should've told us that she got fucking brats to "resolve" this. Who does that little bitch think she is?!! We're better than that!"

"I know what you mean, but they're greatly underestimating us. Besides, it's not like anyone knows where the base is, or who Leader is." The other laughed at this.

"Not like you know who Leader is. No one does. Well…except for the higher-ups?" The second voice snorted at this.

"Yeah. Whatever. I gotta go. My wife's waiting for me." The voice said and left.

Kiba was the one telling the others what the conversation was as it happened. So, Sakura and Shino devised a plan to follow and corner the shinobi.

With Team Two:

When they started, Naruto was all excited and couldn't wait. But, after an entire day of absolutely nothing, zero, zilch, nada, it was getting boring. But, as they were returning to the hotel room, they heard Sakura over the transmitter.

"Hello. Team two. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, we hear you. What did you find?" Kurenai asked. She was the one with the gear.

"We have found someone who might have info on the rebellion. Come over here soon. We're at…"

With Team three:

They were having the same problems as Team two. They couldn't find anyone suspicious, let alone clues as to where the rebellion was located. They did get a couple of odd pieces that didn't make any sense, but those were just from villagers. So, they couldn't really trust them.

Their break came when they heard from Sakura. So, they decided to meet up with them.

They all met up where Team one heard the men speaking. Shino was the one to follow the shinobi, so Sakura, Kiba, and Kankuro were the ones waiting. When all the teams met up, they discussed what they found out.

They were pretty much done when a swarm of bugs came out of nowhere and started talking.

"I've found him. Follow the bugs." That was the whole message. They all nodded and started following. Now, they wouldn't normally need all of them, so they sent Temari, Sakura, Kankuro, Kurenai, and Hinata back to their hotel or house. They didn't really know the level of this guy, but they didn't really think that they would need six people, but better safe than sorry. So, they headed out after the nin.

A/N: Wow. That was a pretty long chapter for this fic. Not that I'm complaining. I think that you all deserve it for waiting for soo long. So…I hope u like this chap. I do. But, I would like to thank my friend, Cookie Dough, for helping me get out of my rut. I couldn't really think of anything for a while, and she helped me brainstorm to get this idea. So…I send a BIG thanks to her. Now…for some good, old-fashioned ranting.

There's one person who has had the balls to tell me that I should warn that this is a yaoi fic. WHAT THE HELL?!!! I have clearly stated that this is not a yaoi fic. I specifically said that I wrote that GaaNaru thing just because I was bored. It's not like that's what this revolves around, and besides, that isn't even a pairing in this frickin' fic! There are no pairings in this fic. (besides Shukaku and Kyuubi, and as I've stated, I only wrote that because I got bored. So sue me) so…I just wanted to get that off my chest, because this is NOT A YAOI FIC. Please get this through your fucking skull!

As to my faithful viewers…I would like to tell you thanks. And I apologize to all of those that I've offended, but I didn't think that it would be that big of an issue. Oh well. So…thanks to all of you who have even read this far. Ok.. I'll leave you alone for now. Byes!
