Ginchuriki Series 1/2 (C14)
Gaara felt like he woke up from a deep sleep after he got slapped, "Yes?"
"Yes? What do you mean by "Yes?" Raikage asked.
"Were you even with us?" Kakashi said.
"Yes of course I was" Gaara answered trying to get rid of their stares.
"I doubt that..." Sakura said once she was stepping from the entrance aisle.
"Sakura?" Kakashi said.
"I was at the hospital to check Kankoru's condition" Sakura said.
"Is everything alright?" Naruto felt concerned.
"Sure it is; it is just..." Gaara was trying to stretch the lie.
"I doubt that too" Sakura answered.
"Sakura! Get to the point already!" Naruto felt frustrated.
"Gaara, your brother and sister might succeed to deceive the nurses, but it is no use against me, his injury is not from a former mission, his bones are cracked, and it looked like it is not a long time ago, that happened today" Sakura explained.
"Gaara, what is she saying!" Raikage insisted for an explanation.
Gaara knew that he can't overcome Sakura skills and cover it with layers of lies again so he said "Kankuro had his injury from a Kishi member"
"What?!" Kakashi and the others felt nothing but stunned waiting for Gaara to continue explaining.
"Yarok attacked us, our defenses failed against him, but we made it out alive" Gaara briefly explains.
"Kazekage, how could you hide that from us!" Raikage rages.
"Because I think that the Kishi will not attack the village or civilians again, Konoha is not their target anymore the cannons got redirected, their target lies in the shadows and they are after him to hunt" Gaara explained.
"Who made that sure for you?! You are talking with confidence" Naruto said.
"The description that Shikamaru stated at first, resembles to what me and my siblings saw, that black aura was a struggle when I was trying hard to stop Yarok's attacks with my sand, and he mentioned that he got his fellow member called Doji so the reason of his attack on us was to avenge his clan member after he thought that Konoha was after his death, but a shinobi interrupted and made things clear for him and said that he is the one who caused death to Doji not Konoha, taking all the blame, Yarok felt rage and attacked him with greater power but that shinobi blocked him and knocked him out with one arm, it is no doubt that the person that I met recently is "The spirit" that you mentioned…" Gaara paused making space to everyone to get back from their shock.
"He was that close to Konoha?!" Ino wondered.
"I was about to try to get him to here to thank him officially, but he refused to receive my thank you and blocked me to take Yarok with me to there, stating that it is enough to let him get away from this village after knowing his true rival…" Gaara answered.
"Why would he protect you in the first place? He could just allow to Yarok to drown in his thinking that Konoha was the responsible of Doji's death, that might save him trouble, would it?!" Kakashi stated.
"He explained his unexpected act by saying that it is his war and no one should interrupt…" Gaara paused.
Saskue felt something about it.
"…He also mentioned something about Konoha as well, saying that he will try his best to let it out of destruction zone and assure that it is safe" Gaara explained what Kai mentioned.
"All these acts and explanations, makes no sense to me at all!" Naruto trying to understand.
"I can't find a suitable explanation about his acts…" Sakura said trying to analyze.
"Konoha neither knew "the spirit" before nor gave hand to him" Kakashi said confessing his fail to seek conclusion.
"At least we know now that Konoha is safe, and that shinobi can take care of himself, I think that we can settle in peace now, and for me the problem is solved…" Raikage stated.
"I agree with the Raikage" Mizukage Mei supported.
"Me too I think that there is no danger threatening Kono…" Naruto interrupted the Tsuchikage sentence:
"How could you say that!" Naruto felt so pissed and angry from what he heard "How could you just forget about him so easily!"
"Naruto, Calm down…" Kakashi noticed that Naruto is throwing reckless sentences and disrespecting the summit and the Kages.
"Don't tell me to! Even if you all gave up on him by excusing that the damage is clear now, but think about that shinobi that took all the blame on him and protected Konoha when it was about to get damaged by those Kishi!" Naruto spoke what he believed is true.
"What can we do then?! Follow him and beg him and let our shinobi get in danger for him! He refused cooperating when the Kaze offered, why should we run after him!" Raikage answered.
"I didn't ask you to, because no matter who is he and why he acted like that, from that incident I could analyze his personality in seconds without even knowing him, my duty after all was to protect everyone, then imaging me not protecting the one that was protecting my people!" Naruto spoke in higher tone to prove his point "You can all give up on him, but make sure i!"
"Naruto…" Gaara looked at him and remembered how he rescued him in the same way by not giving up on him "Make sure that I am the Kazekage ready to sacrifice for what you believe, even if it was myself!" a supporter showed up.
"After all what we have passed through we defined your actions as reckless, but it is better to be reckless than to be wrong, I am with you!" Sakura supported too.
The idea started to cling in the remained kages, when they eventually accepted to be led by the boy that they defined as foolish.
"After understanding your point Naruto, we are ready to participate in the help that you want to offer to that "spirit", but you must realize one thing…."Raikage A spoke "…Setting off in searching for him is a thing that we can't allow to occur, we can't just throw everything behind and chase after the unknown, you can only interrupt when you know for certain that a battle is ongoing, we, as leaders of our own lands, will cooperate to out an eye on every single inch in our territory in search for him and if there is a war ongoing, once we know, we will make sure that you will be informed, that's our condition, if you refused we will not participate in this war or inform by any means , and by that you got low chance of finding him and helping him"
After deep thinking and checking the pros and cons in this cooperation Naruto accepted and all of the Nations supported each other with military forces to insure their participation in the war.
"Summit came to an end, thanks for your participation" Kakashi signing that the summit is over.
