The 12 Days of GaaNaru Christmas

VI. Six Geese a Laying

Two three-person ANBU teams made their way through the canyon sticking as close to the shadows as possible. Their mission was rather simple. They would sneak into the village and complete their task before sunrise. The only problem was this was a large scale task that if anyone in the entire village woke up before they were finished, they would have to retreat immediately and it would be a failed mission. The six of them were dead set on doing it quickly. ANBU did not fail missions.

Finally they reached the village. It was one hour before sunrise so they had to act quickly. ANBU team 8 began performing a massive amount of jutsu. They were known for their vast ninjutsu knowledge and enormous chakra pool, which was why they were chosen for this mission. ANBU team 15 was known for their fast movement and deadly accuracy. Their task involved actually sneaking around the entire village and hitting each and every building with their secret supplies.

Soon enough, they were finished. Team 8 had produced the desired amount that the Hokage specified. Team 15 had hit every building as they were supposed to and the entire village was covered in their materials and what team 8 had created. They knocked out the two guards at their posts near the way to the village. For the final touch, the mouse-masked ANBU placed the large canvas sign on the inside entrance to the village. Their mission was accomplished and they snuck back out of the village the same way they came. ANBU never failed their missions.

Dawn broke and the Kazekage was already out of the shower and in the process of getting dressed. For a second, he pondered why it was so cold in the desert today. He played it off as just being winter in their part of the world and it was taking a bit longer for it to warm up. Once Gaara began nearing the door of his house he heard the laughter of a large group of children. His lip twitched upwards at the sound. However, he noticed it was getting even colder, which made him frown in concern.

Gaara open his doors to see a huge mess of whiteness. He gawked at it all until his eyes began to water. It was so intense. Children were jumping into the snow with eyes and smiles full of brightness. Their parents were standing in the doorways watching their kids play with great smiles on their faces, too. The houses and stores and all the building were decorated with strings of lights and garland all pinned on by kunai and shuriken. Gaara raised an eyebrow and decided to investigate.

Gaara stepped out into the snow and looked around some more. Everyone was laughing and smiling, he had never seen anything like this in his village before. Temari and Kankuro ran up to him and tackled him to the ground and rolled him around in the cold wet stuff. They both were laughing whole-heartedly. Gaara was just so confused. He finally noticed the huge sign while lying there on his back.

"Merry Christmas, Sunagakure.

Enjoy the snow and decorations.

-Rokudaime Hokage"

Gaara let out a laugh and thanked whatever was out there that there was a person in the world like Naruto. He wouldn't know what the world would be like without the obnoxious bratty Hokage. Gaara smiled. There was only one thing on his mind. How would he top something like this?
