OOC- I know you all were wondering how Gaara had more control over his demon then Naruto did, but it explains in this chapter why. Gaara had some extensive training of his demon, weather it be from a stranger that showed up one day in the city Suna looking for him, the person was only known as Naito Hokousha; Help also provided by Temari and Kankuro. But most likely its bound to be the same deal Naruto made with Kyuubi, stating that if he should die so would the demon. But other than that that's the best I can think of my friends. Thanks for the comments and you guys should comment on who should be the team? Send me more reviews and suggestions, and heads up; there may be a couple visitors in the next chapter one OC; and one character that will start a difficult time for him.

Chapter 5

"The Hokage Wishes your presence" Gaara said blankly.

"Good I've wanted to speak to her for about 3 hours." Naruto said cockily.
Hokage's Office

"Good your both here. I wanted to speak to you two specifically because I'm creating an entire new team of nin's. You two will be the "captains" of this team, now in regards to the demons. You two are the strongest Ninja's in the village, though we are sannin we cannot actually keep up with the well of power in both of you. Now as I have been briefed, in the fact that since the chuunin exams that Gaara has been training on his control over Shukaku, he has far exceeded his control in comparison towards you Naruto. And due to your recent talk with Kyuubi, you need this lesson." Tsunade said calmly.

Naruto puzzled looked over to Gaara, who he now just realized that Gaara no longer had large black bags under his eyes, his eyes weren't bloodshot and were not gleaming with a killer intent. Naruto shrugged as Gaara merely nodded to Tsunade.

"Now excuse me I have work to do" Tsunade said, the two shinobi bowed and made their way out side the door as the two Anbu guards shut the door. Naruto looked over to Gaara as Gaara looked to Naruto.

"Want to go get some Ramen?" Naruto asked with a smile on his face. Gaara broke a smile.

"Sure, there are these new things I have to try in the world" Gaara said with a hint of joy in his voice.

"NANI? You haven't Tried RAMEN? Come on Lets Go Now" Naruto said excitedly as he grabbed Gaara's wrist and quickly pulled him towards the Ramen stand. On the way there Naruto now calmed down slightly the two vessel's chatted about little things about what had happened since the chuunin exams, as soon Gaara noticed the same expressions that he got from the villager's of the sand. Hate, loathing, sadness. Gaara watched the villager's faces as he then wondered.

'How could he put up with all this and then continue his smile?" Gaara thought curiously. Almost as if Naruto knew what Gaara was thinking answered.

"They don't mean anything to me so I ignore them, my goal was to get them to notice me instead of ignoring me, but I find that no matter what I do only a few will recognize me. I'm just amazed I didn't do what you did. Honestly, I'd love to kill these fools, that way they would know how much pain I actually went through in life." Naruto said coldly, he then stopped turning back to Gaara.

"Anyways, hurry up lets go get Ramen" Naruto said brandishing a foxy grin on his face. Gaara smiled, it was amazing how much Naruto's smile caught others, it was like his sheared of joy was contagious. Gaara and Naruto quickly went off towards the Ramen stand.

Back At Hokage's Office

Tsunade looked around making sure no one was watching, she moved towards the door locking it and then headed towards the window pulling down the blinds. The room only light was a candle on her desk that was now lit. She picked it up and slowly walked over to one of the bookshelves, pulling one of the books down the shelf slid away revealing a hidden walkway. She carefully stepped over the tripwires and avoided the false stones that if stepped on would make you fall to your doom, after avoiding more traps that were set up she found her self in a large leaky corridor, a light at the end of the long leaky tunnel, pipes cracked with water dripping down from them. She slowly walked towards the open doorway the splashing of her sandals hit against the water making a "pat pat pat" sound. After walking into the doorway she found herself in a medium sized room, maybe thirty feet by thirty feet. In the middle lay a bed a sheet covered the figure of a body on it. Looking around the room she then saw the training gear battered and damaged, obviously from extensive use. Fire singed the wall, as burn marks lay recent and warm along the stone wet walls. She looked towards the bed and then moved across the room, quickly opening a small little shelf she removed a small bottle and pulled out a small pouch, she pored the bottle's ingredients onto the ground then added a pinch of powder from the pouch and as a large poof was heard, the smoke cleared revealing a large healthy meal. She turned and began to leave as she stopped at the door hearing a mumble.

"I'll, Kill you…dobe" she turned and looked at the now moving body, she slowly moved out into the corridor closing the large metal door and locking it. She turned and went back up the long corridor up the stairs full of traps and back into her office. She blew out the candle as the shelf slid back into place, she undid the blinds and sat into her chair letting out a large sigh.

"I hope I'm making the right choice." Tsunade said as she slowly closed her eyes and let sleep consume her.

Training Grounds

Hinata was now at the training grounds training with Neji. Hinata and Neji became close after he realized his faults after Naruto had beaten him at the Chuunin exams. Both Hyuuga's fought strongly with their Byakugan's activated; Hinata was extremely fierce in this battle, Neji had on numerous times been caught off guard when his cousin showed extreme power in her technique. Neji leapt back as he ripped four shurikens from his pouch and fired them at Hinata, seeing them coming she quickly stopped her advance and spun in a circle executing the kaiten perfectly. The shurikens bounced off the swirling amount of chakra, after stopping Hinata quickly grabbed the shurikens out of the air and hurled them at Neji. Neji ripped a kunai from his pouch and blocked two of them now noticing she only threw two, Neji then saw her and quickly whipped around behind him and deflected the other two but suddenly Hinata hit Neji hard in the chest with an open palm, not putting chakra in it because this was a training exercise. Neji jumped back a bit.

"I've never seen you this focused before…or aggressive. What happened?" Neji said as he then blocked a right hook Hinata sent at him then quickly leaping up and back flipping a few feet away as Hinata tried to sweep out his legs.

"Its that annoying Sakura girl" Hinata said as her hands slammed together and flew through seals. She then yelled out something as she threw a kunai straight at Neji.

"KAGE SHURIKEN NO-JUTSU!" She cried allowed as then she lunged forward with the kunai multiply into four of them. Neji quickly deflected the kunai's with his own kaiten and then immediately blocked the first punch Hinata sent at him. Neji now taking an opening he saw through his arm out, Hinata easily blocked it but then felt the punch in the side of the head Neji gave her with his left hand. Suddenly Hinata disappeared in a poof of smoke as Neji felt his hand connect with wood. Suddenly Hinata had a Kunai at Neji's throat.

"She's being annoying again I take it" Neji said slightly surprised at his defeat. Hinata's anger again boiling she with drew her kunai from Neji's neck. She put her kunai away and sat down, Neji then sat down with his legs folded and he watched her.

"She's still in love with Sasuke" Neji said calmly.

"That idiot hurt Naruto more than anyone knows, his personality has changed so much. She brings you and all your friends back alive and she hates him because she didn't bring back her precious Sasuke moron." Hinata said bitterly.

"Have you heard of Temari, Kankuro and Gaara becoming leaf-nins " Neji said changing the subject. Hinata looked up to Neji curious.

"Since when?" Hinata asked.

"Since yesterday" A cold voice came from behind the two. Neji looked up behind Hinata to find a familiar figure standing behind them.

Hinata looked behind her to stare into the eyes of Gaara. Gaara smiled at her for a moment then looked up to Neji.

"Can you excuse us for a moment Neji, I must speak with Hinata if that's ok" Gaara said, his voice still seemed monotone but there was some emotion in it. Neji looked up to Gaara curiously, Neji then sighed, nodded, and stood up turned and left the training grounds. Hinata slowly stood up and looked at Gaara.

"No point, please sit down" Gaara said as two sand chairs were maid on the ground. Hinata sat down as Gaara sat in the other chair. Hinata looked curiously at Gaara as he studied her for a moment smiling, it was still jacquard to see him smile due to his previous discrepancies but it was ok.

"So what did you need to speak to me about?" Hinata asked curiously.

"Its about Naruto, and the long road he has ahead of him" Gaara said calmly.

"If it is about Naruto what does this have to do with me?" Hinata asked now her curiosity tweaking.

"You love him, and because of that you will need to be beside him for this long journey because without his loved ones, he may not come out of this the same way" Gaara said his voice becoming serious. Hinata was now surprised at what Gaara had said.

"Did… Naruto tell you?" Hinata asked embarrassed.

"No. Its just quiet easy to realize, especially after the scene you made in the hospital lobby" Gaara said with a bit of humor in his voice. Remembering when she slapped Sakura, of course he was going to actually do something far extreme but it was better she did it instead of him.

"Gaara…what is Naruto?" Hinata asked. Gaara was amazed at this question; he didn't think that no one in the village knew of Naruto's heritage. Gaara quickly collected his thoughts as he responded.

"…If Naruto has not told you yet, then you should ask him. But once you find out and If your outlook changes on him then you must tell me immediately. Because without you and his loved ones Naruto will not be able to come out of this happy. " Gaara's voice was so serious it was scary. Gaara slowly rose out of his chair and began to walk away.

"I love him…no matter what" Hinata said suddenly as she stood staring at Gaara's back. He stopped.

"Then ask him, and be strong, for both of you" Gaara said not turning around, the sand disappeared and he walked away.

Shinobi Monument

Naruto stood staring down at the monument, staring at the name that still haunts his dreams.

"Bastard, why did you have to fight…why couldn't you just come back" Naruto said his voice shaking in anger. He had sensed him when he had arrived. Naruto sighed and moved his head back as the kunai flew past him.

"I'm not in the mood Jiraiya" Naruto said depression easily in his voice. Jiraiya hopped out of the tree and came over to him.

"Kakashi is a good guy you know, he only did what he was told" Jiraiya said trying to explain.

"I don't care, he threw me around like trash. I have actual friends in life now. And I don't care how much Sakura or Kakashi wants to screw that up. I wont let them, I've decided I want to be with Hinata, and protect my other precious people" Naruto said calmly as suddenly a raindrop patted against his hair. Soon a light shower of rain started. But suddenly Naruto and Jiraiya leapt out of the way from two kunai's launched at them. Black clouds slowly moved in and covered the sun; the village now dark thunder began to roar across the sky. Lighting blazed across the sky as Naruto's hair now became soaked. He stood now in front of his most hated enemy.

"I Killed you" Naruto said anger quaking in his voice.

"You Were To Weak To Kill Me…Dobe" Sasuke said as he pushed his hair out from in front of his eyes who's blood red eyes stared into Naruto's blue ones.

The Gates Of Konoha

A figure in a black robe slowly arrived at the gates; the two chuunin's guarding the gate quickly moved forward blocking his way.

"Hault" They said as the man stopped. Looking up to him his emotionless face sent cold shivers down the chuunin's spines. Their eyes traced the face and flowed into the pitch black eyes and then up onto the hitate with the leaf symbol on it. The large scratch though the hitate, quickly alerted the chuunin's and they leapt back.

"I mean no harm, I have come to speak with the Hokage, lead me to her weather it be under guard or not." The man stared at the chuunin's as one of them drew his weapon and the other disappeared in a puff of smoke. The thunder roared across the sky as the man looked up to it.

"…So it has begun" the chuunin guard returned as did two ANBU squads including the leader who stood in a white robe. Thankfully because of the mask, the guards didn't notice the ANBU leader staring in awe at the man.

"It's been a while, but as I was saying, I need to speak with the hokage, and you may request Gaara to be there as well.

OOC - ya ive been wondering what im gonna do about the whole Sasuke thing, i know alot of people like him, but i honestly still hate him but i suppose i can bring him back just to add more to the whole Story line. And this character named Naito Hokousha is my own original character. He is an extremly strong yet young shinobi. Though technically he is a Gennin, he can easily out power any jounin and with his ultimate technique can take out a kage. In adition Naito Hokousha means Night Walker. His clan was extremly hard to whipe out. But anyways. he is also the one that helped Gaara with his demon.
