SR: Oh my god. Only five chapters and I already have 53 reviews! Not bad for my first fic. I'm not gonna be answering any reviews this time cuz Sevetenks the Ultimate Fusion said I could get banned. I dunno if it's true, but i'm not taking chances.

Sasuke: Maybe you should get banned. It'd make ff dot net a much saner place.

SR: You forget the infinite power I own here.

Sasuke: Hn. whatever.

Naruto: And thanks to nejithecagedbird and Lady-Cell for putting me in their fics! You rock dattebayo!

SR: And now for the next chapter! Oh yeah, and I do not own Naruto.

Sasuke stood face-to-face with the one person he doesn't want to see again.

"Uchiha...Sasuke"

"Sabaku no Gaara. What are you doing here?" Sssuke asked him suspiciously.

"Hey Gaara, are you sure this is him?" Temari looked at Sasuke confused. "I thought he was taller and...less ugly."

"Yeah he looks like a mini version of that green spandex wearing, thick eye-browed guy you fought in the chuunin exams." Kankuro added. Yeah, Sasuke forgot to take off the wig, spandex, and fake eyebrows.

"I'm sure. He has the same eyes." Gaara continued to glare at Sasuke.

"Did you ever wonder why Gaara always knows who someone is by their eyes?" Kankuro whispered to Temari.

"It's not hard to figure out who you are. You're about the only guy who wears make-up" Temari stepped foward leaving behind a 'slightly' pissed off Kankuro.

"You still didn't answer my question. Why are you here?" Sasuke asked again.

"You're Hokage wanted more protection than just some genins and a lazy chuunin so she had us come." Temari explained to him. "And since they're not really doing anything to find you, except for some, it's easy to see out help is really needed."

/white screen flashback/ (when the screen flashes white, shows a scene, flashes white, shows another scene, so on)

Naruto is eating ramen, Sakura is lost, Lee is hugging Gai, Ino is yelling at an eating Chouji and cloud-gazing Shikamaru, Shino, Miharu, and Chiaki are eating somewhere, Kiba, Kumi, and Akamaru are actually looking for them, and everyone else is doing something else.

/end flashback/

"Those bastards" Sasuke muttered in dusgust. "Well you might as well leave cuz I don't need help."

"We knew you'd say that brat." Kankuro snickered. "Why do you think we had Gaara come along?"

And with that, sand enveloped the poor, defensless, chibi Sasuke, and they left to gather the others and have a little talk. They saw (coughheardcough) Naruto at the Ichiraku first. Gaara went up to him and tapped his shoulder, causing him to fall and his bowl of ramen to fly up and land on Gaara's head.

"Ah! Gaara! What are you doing here? And why are you wearing my ramen?"

Gaara stepped aside, cleaned himself off, and raised the cocoon of sand revealing Sasuke's face. "This belong to you?"

"No. He's Sakura's and fuzzy eyebrow's today and tomorrow. But he's mine and Hinata's the two days after."

Gaara nodded and started to walk away.

"Whoa wait a minute Gaara. I haven't seen you since you tried to destroy my village and kill Sakura! Come over here and have some ramen and we can talk!"

Gaara just noded and took a seat next to Naruto. Kankuro and Temari also took a seat, leaving Sasuke still trapped in the sand.

"I've never had ramen" Gaara told Naruto.

"Really? How? Ramen is the best food ever! I eat it everyday! It's also great training food." Naruto started telling Gaara how ramen was great training food. "First, it's fast, so you can stop training, make ramen, eat it, and resume training really quickly. It has lots of carbs to give you energy and lasts long, it tastes great, and you can train a little during the three minute wait!"

Gaara merely nodded and ordered a miso ramen, while Temari and Kankuro didn't order anything. Naruto ordered another seafood ramen and continued to talk to Gaara. Temari got bored and started polishing her fan, and Kankuro left to put make-up on Sasuke.

"So what are you doing in Konoha?" Naruto asked Gaara.

"A mission." Gaara blew on his ramen. "We're here to help protect Sasuke."

"Oh really?" Naruto slurped his ramen loudly. "That's great. After we finish eating we'll go find the others and put Sasuke through hell some more."

Gaara nodded again and finished his ramen. Naruto quickly finished his, paid for them, and they both left to find Sasuke yelling words a three year old shouldn't be yelling to Kankuro. Parents passing by quickly led their children away from them. Still inside the sand prison, Sasuke had purple make-up on everywhere.

"Hey Sasuke, why did you activate your curse seal?" Naruto asked him stupidly.

"This isn't my curse seal dobe! That bastard put his make-up on me!"

Kankuro was trying to stifle his giggles, but a glare from Gaara shut him up quickly.

"Let's go find the others. And thanks for the ramen Naruto."

"No problem" Naruto grinned. Temari went over to him and whispered in his ear.

"Gaara got less psychotic and murder happy after his fight with you. That's why he only glared at Kankuro and not trapped him in sand too."

"I see..." Naruto looked at the boy in front of him. "So he stopped killing people then?"

"No. He just has better self-control."

They found the rest of the rookie 12 and the mist nins waiting on top of the Hokage Monument, watching Tsunade preforming an Earth jutsu to move the faces a litle to the left and put her face on there.

"Yo!" Naruto called at them.

"AH! GAARA!" everyone jumped back when they saw the sand holding Sasuke and the guy in front of it.

"Don't worry guys, Gaara doesn't kill people as much anymore!" Naruto patted Gaara on the back to prove it.

"Ah good you've arrived." Tsunade had just noticed Gaara and his older siblings. "You know what's going on, no need to inform you, I have somewhere to be, bye!" and with that she poofed away, leaving the rookie 12, 3 mist nins, and 3 sand nins to do what they want.

Unknown to them, but known to the reader(s) two strangers were standing at the gate of Konoha. The older one was around 14. He was wearing a blue backwards baseball cap with a forhead protector plate attached to the back, so technically the way he was wearing it, it was on the front. The side without the thing that blocks the sun. On the forehead protector wasn't one any of the known villages insignias. It was actually a bowl of ramen with three wavy steam lines over it. His hair was black had a long spikey bang that covered his left eye. His t-shirt was black and had 'Ramen 4ever' in blue letters. He also wore a pair of long blue jeans. The shorter guy beside him also wore a backwards baseball cap, but it was yellow and had the metal plate on the front. The side with the thing that juts out and blocks the sun. It, too, had a bowl of ramen with three wavy steam lines over it. He wore a plain white t-shirt and also had a jeans jacket on. He was also wearing long blue jeans. His hair was also black, but his nags curves slightly and ended juts below his eyes.

"Feels nice to be back in Konoha, right aniki?" the shorter one looked at his companion.

"Yeah." he replied.

SR: And that's where i'm going to stop it. If any of you read Lady-Cell's 'Traped With You' or nejithecagedbird's 'Michelle in Konoha', then you already know who one of the guys is. And if you don't, you can probably guess. He's an OC if you didn't already know that. So please review and i'll try to update as fast as I can. Oh and one thing. Do any of you think my chapters are too short? Personally, I think they're a little short.
