Disclamier: I Don't any rights to Naruto. Promise

Warning: None

AN: Hello! OK..Ugh...Must I have a plot? ugh. LOL. Well, here goes nothing

"So what's really wrong?" Shikamaru finally asked his silent comrade as they surveyed the sparring duo.

"Naruto was attacked. I'm worried." Neji replied quickly. The Shadow manipulator narrowed his eyes,

"Gaara had him well protected." His observation was met with an angry flash of the pale eyes but then other elite ninja didn't respond. Neji looked away and glared into the trees. Shikamaru exhaled slowly turning his attention back to the Hokage. Naruto had been pushed back by Lee's quicker attacks. They had been sparring for most of the afternoon. His head jerked up at the slightest simmers of the strange chakra from day the day before.

"Get him out of here." Neji suddenly ordered. He had felt it too, his Byakugan in full force as he disappeared towards the faint chakra readings. The Shadow manipulator nodded once and jumped down to the middle of the training ground ducking as Naruto's leg was aimed for his face.

"Naruto, they're back." Shikamaru said as the Hokage jumped back in surprise.

"Where's Neji?" Asked the sweaty faced blond, his eyes narrowed in focus and didn't wait for answer as his fingers forming a few signs. The Powerful wave of chakra pulsed through the immediate area before Naruto looked up.

"Only one." He said at once before another ripple of familiar chakra lanced through the area. Neji had used his final defense.

"Lee get him, these ninja's suck up chakra…how, I don't know, none of us does, not yet at least, Go Lee" Naruto barked. He needed information. If the outsiders couldn't get him, they may start targeting villagers, or his closer friends.

"We need to get you out of the open, if the attack is similar to last one we are down three ninja's. It will be to dangerous." Shino said while slowly shoving up his sunglasses, his head inclined towards the Hokage. Before Naruto could reply two Ninja had appeared before him.

"He gave one attack before fleeing." Neji said calmly enough, but his voice was ragged, as if he had fought more then just one superior ninja.

"I'll have the best missing-nin hunters after them. If he was fleeing then he is probably reporting to someone." Naruto replied grabbing the tossed aside robe,

"I'm going to see Ibiki, I'm sure he has more information from the two we're holding now." The Hokage said, "You all need to work with your genins tomorrow."

"Hokage—" Neji started protesting, but Naruto looked at him, "Don't worry, I'll be forced to the paper work all day, I'm sure there's not going to be an attack with a building full of elite ninja and counselors."

"I'm glad to see well." Ibiki greeted him with a grim smile. Naruto nodded once before shutting the door behind him.

"I'm sure Shikamaru has relayed the report to you, about the attackers." Naruto asked. The interrogator nodded,

"He has, but I don't think these two are from the same group. They show no sign off having that much skill to get through your elites." Naruto gnawed his bottom lip looking down the scroll of information.

"You never asked if the reason they're after me is because I killed Uchiha Sasuke." Naruto finally looked up,

"Both of them refuse to speak, we have them in separate chakra controlled rooms at the moment."

"I'm going to speak with them both." At the tone of his voice the head of military ninja nodded once showing him to the holding cells.

Naruto's breath was haggard; his head leaning back against the head board of his bed. He had been plagued by another nightmare and his body was begging for Gaara's gentle touch, his assured words…His fingers ran through his hair roughly cursing loudly in the too quiet house.

"Naruto, are you alright?" The blond didn't even hear the tall Byakugan user come in. Then again, if Neji didn't want to be heard, he wouldn't be.

"I'm fine. You should be out with Kiba." Naruto said looking up,

"I heard you yell." Neji tried, Naruto looked away, leaning back his head again and closing his eyes.

"You heard me yelling yesterday and you didn't come in." The blond leader muttered, opening one eye at the silence from the other men. The Hyuuga had narrowed his own pale orbs, but wasn't looking at him.

"I don't trust his motives." Neji finally said, "It seems just so sudden." He continued, trying to reason with his leader. Naruto turned his head towards the jounin before exhaling slowly.

"I trust him." He finally whispered, "Do you doubt my judgment?" The Hokage pulled himself from the bed, his arms hanging loosely at his sides, openly confronting the Hyuuga.

"You know I don't." Neji replied angrily, but they were interrupted at a loud bark from the front and Kiba skidding into the room.

"The missing-nins have escaped. Anko is dead when she tried to stop the release; the whole town reeks of the ninja's who attacked you before." He babbled out, a kunai in one hand, his animalistic eyes focusing on the Hokage intensely.

"What?!" Naruto jerked his head to Kiba, suddenly running forward to grab his robe, his eyes flashed to Neji;

"This discussion is over Neji." He said before he disappeared in a curling grey smoke.

"I hate it when he does that!" Kiba hissed before doing the same. Neji glared around the room, his fist closing tightly.

"We found her not even a few moments ago and sent word immediately to you. There are no marks on her except for this." Ibiki whispered angrily as he showed the opened chakra point on her neck.

"And they're gone." Naruto hissed, "Have any of the Nin-Hunters found anything?" He asked backing away from the body so she would be able to be laid to rest properly.

"No, but this was left in the room. Which means they wanted you to have it." The older ninja said handing Naruto the thin scroll.

"I've already checked it." Naruto nodded breaking the seal and letting the thin piece of rolled up parchment open up. There were no words. Just one symbol, the seal Sasuke once held upon his neck. His eyes narrowed;

"I want them found." Naruto said softly, his eyes looking to the other mans, before rolling the scroll up and striding from the back room. He heard his personal secretary appear behind him, she sounded out of breath by her haggard breathing.

"I want to see all the counselors immediately" he said not turning towards Hoshi;

"Hokage-sama, are you alright?" She asked, he whirled on her,

"Please. Do as I say." He hissed, before holding back and calming himself, "Please." She nodded her eyes wide and she disappeared once more.

The glories of the early morning sun went unnoticed as Naruto pored over a scroll from the Land of Waves; his meeting with the counselors had lasted through the last hours of the night before morning. His eyes closed slowly, his hand clutching over the scroll he had in a small pocket on his thigh.

"Kakashi has just arrived with his report." A small voice said from the doorway. Naruto nodded and heard the older Jounin enter.

"Safe delivery" Naruto heard him say in front of him. The blond nodded distractedly,

"Was he that bad?" At that Naruto looked up sharply an indignant expression on his face. Kakashi seemed to be smirking lightly under his mask,

"You're all gloomy again." The greyed haired Nin said with a shrug,

"Anko was killed, and those nins have disappeared without a trace and…" He trailed off with a sigh finally pulling the scroll out and handing it to Kakashi. The grin seemed to fade off of the Jounin's face as he looked at, instantly recognizing it as well.

"They're jerking us around, and apparently knew that would mean something to me." Naruto hissed, Kakashi passed it back to him,

"Maybe." Came his voice, the most serious he's been for a while.

"Kakashi, how far along are your genins?" Naruto asked suddenly asked.

"Worse off then you three were." Came the reply. The Hokage nodded, slowly,

"Thanks." He whispered, looking back down to the Wave scroll. He would see Gaara again before the month was out. His gut clenched at the thought, but as he continued to look down at the scrolls his eyes slipped closed with exhaustion.

The heat of the other man pressed down on him was wonderful the slow unhurried gently kisses trailed around his mouth in their afterglow.

"Gaara…" Naruto started, but the tongue caressed at his bottom lip before the mouth covered his own in kiss.

"Not yet." Came the whisper, the blond Hokage broke the second kiss and before the Suna Leader could say another word he had buried his face in the neck and wrapping his arms around the chest.

"How can you say those things?" He asked in the flesh breathing into the scent, Gaara's own earthy smell mingling with the musk of sex.

"Because I can." Came the soft reply, one hand trailing down Naruto spine ever so much. Naruto gave an exhausted groan into the throat at the feeling. The fingers stopped at the tail bone. His eyes fluttered slowly and his body relaxed slowly,

"Sleep…" He heard Gaara murmur in his ear…
