Chapter 3-Naruto's Mission

Naruto and Gaara went to where 'he' is and saw him at the training grounds. 'He' asked, "What is it now Naruto-kun, Gaara-kun?" "Naruto used that jutsu again to heal your little brother." replied Gaara. 'He' looked at Naruto and saw him panting hard and saw that the Shakugan was still activated.

He gasped and started to heal him. "I have a mission for you two. I need you to bring Kisame here from Orochimaru. He was captured by him on our way here. Keep this to yourselves." explained the man. Naruto said, "Hai...when will we leave Itachi-sensei?" "Within two days..."replied Itachi. They nodded and Itachi disappeared. Naruto put his shirt back on and noticed someone pounce on him. "Temari-san?" asked Naruto.

Temari got off Naruto and blushed wildly...(disclaimer:Temari had seen Naruto take of his shirt before and woah! He became cuter!) Naruto got up and looked around. Then running about every girl in Konoha going straight at him. "Dang. Gaara...could you get us out of here?" asked Naruto. Gaara nodded and remembered how every girl in Sunagakure wanted him and shivered. Then they were surrounded in sand. 'God...how I want to go back to the Sand.' thought Naruto.

Sakura found them and instantly hugged Naruto. "Naruto-kun...Kakashi-sensei needs to talk to you." she said. Naruto nodded then disappeared. "Yes Hatake-san?" asked Naruto as he appeared behind Kakashi. Kakashi turned to look at him and asked, "What had happened to you while you were away?"

Naruto eyes widen a bit and Kakashi saw this. "Tsunade-sama and I had discussed something and she has agreed to know what changed you. You are no longer that idiot 2 1/2 years ago." explained Kakashi. Naruto sighed and was about to tell him when he sensed someone. "Gomen Hatake-san...but I can't tell with Sasuke here." said Naruto. With that he turned and walked away. "The dobe has improved Kakashi-sensei." complimented Sasuke. Kakashi nodded but thought, 'Naruto...what happened to you?'

Chapter 4-Leaving Once Again

Naruto and Gaara was resting on a tree where team seven has trained. "Hey Naruto!" yelled a voice. Naruto groaned in annoyance. He looked to see Sakura, Sasuke, Neji, Hinata, and Lee. 'It's them again.' thought Naruto as he sighed. "Yes?"asked Naruto. Sasuke asked, "Tell us now...what happened to you?"

"I can't tell you."replied Naruto simply. Sakura grabbed his collar and said, "Dang it Naruto! You disappeared for 2 1/2 years and this is how you react! We were just curious about you!" Naruto stared at her with no emotion in his face. He grabbed her wrist and forced her to release him which she did.

"My explanation about me disappearing is none of your business Haruno. It is only kept between me and the sand siblings and Baki. Even if I tell you would be able to understand. Besides I have no intention on telling you Haruno."said Naruto in a cold voice which shocked the 5.

Gaara said, "Naruto...we have to pack..." "Whatever Gaara." replied Naruto. Then they vanished. Kakashi appeared and asked, "Did you get anything out of him?" "No...he just coldly replied to Sakura-san. He just told us something and that's it. Naruto-kun has changed than normal."replied Hinata.

Kakashi nodded and said, "I see." Meanwhile Naruto and Gaara was packing. "Stupid Sakura. Always trying to stick into other people's business." said Naruto. Gaara agreed and said, "The sun is setting. Let's go." Naruto nodded and they both disappeared in a storm of sand. They arrived at the outside of the gates and disappeared. 'Kisame...you better owe us.' thought the Junchuurikis.
