SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG TO GET OUT! I kept getting an error message whenever I tried to submit the document, and it was driving me freakin INSANE!
anyways...
I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter; this one will defiantly focus more on Naruto and company in Suna now that the situation on Konoha has been explained.
DISCLAIMER – I don't own Naruto… you do know that right? I hope so, because if you don't then… well… you won't know…

Ok all, Enjoy!
(Outskirts of Suna.)
The area was sandy, very sandy, and three figures stood there. One had a huge gourd sitting on the ground next to him, and one other one had a pretty large bag next to his feet.
"Ok Gaara, since you and Naruto were whining about having nothing to do at out Hotel, Ayumi surprisingly allowed me to have us all come out here and train." Koga explained. "Now, what fighting style do you use Gaara?"
"I um, use sand…" Gaara muttered.
"Do you have any Taijutsu skills?" Koga asked.
"Not really, no one has ever gotten close enough to me that I actually need to use my hands to deal with them…" Gaara explained.
"Well, I guess we should get you started in Taijutsu training, considering you know Ninjutsu pretty well…" Koga muttered. "Naruto, how much weight do you have on your legs right now?"
Naruto lifted up his pants to reveal some weights there. "I think it's about forty or fifty pounds on each leg Dad."
"Only?" Koga said as if anyone could lift up that many pounds easily with their feet. "I'm going to add about twenty pounds to start with each arm." Koga explained.
"But that will be really heavy!" whined Naruto.
"That is why it gets you stronger Naruto!" Koga shouted at him.
Gaara simply observed the scene in front of him. Over the course of three days, he had come to expect things like this to happen on a regular basis. Finally he coughed a little to bring them out of their little fight.
"Oh yes, Gaara." Koga muttered as he straightened himself up. "Now Gaara, I'm going to begin training you in Taijutsu, I won't be here for long, so you'll have to carry on the training when Naruto and I leave."
At the mention of Naruto leaving, Gaara looked at the ground a little sadden, but quickly covered it up and said, "How will I begin training?"
"I'll put on some weights, probably a little less than what Naruto has so you can get use to it. After a few weeks continue to add more, this way you will continue to grow stronger." Koga explained.
"I see…" Gaara muttered.
Koga went into his bag and pulled out some weights. He handed each child the weights and waited for them to put the things on. Once that was completed Koga decided to begin training.
"Ok, I want to see how you fight Gaara, although I have a pretty good idea on how you do, I want to make sure my methods are correct." He turned to Naruto, "I know how my son fights since he and Sasuke fight, and thus, I adjusted his training according to his style."
"That makes sense I guess." Gaara said as he faced Naruto.
"Ok Gaara! No holding back, ok?" Naruto asked.
"Sure thing Naruto, I can't guarantee your safety though." Gaara explained.
Koga stepped into their conversation and said, "I'll be here if things get too messy."
"Thanks dad." Naruto muttered. Gaara nodded his head in agreement. Afterwards Naruto dropped down into his fighting stance, which was really something to behold, and Gaara simply stood there with his arms crossed, waiting for his opponent to attack.
Suddenly Naruto charged towards his opponent, who did not even flinch when he noticed Naruto finally began to move at him. When Naruto was less than a foot away a look of determination to get pass Gaara's defense formed in his eyes, but it didn't matter, his fist was blocked by the sand.
So he doesn't even have to move… If I am faster than the sand though…. Naruto thought, he ran as fast as he could and began to circle Gaara. He got behind Gaara and quickly brought his knee to meet his back, but to Naruto's disappointment, he was not fast enough, for the sand blocked his attack."So, you planning on hitting me any day soon Naruto?" Gaara taunted. Naruto became slightly aggravated by this comment, and began to focus chakra into his legs to speed up his movement.
"Lets see your sand catch up with me now!" Naruto shouted as he charged at Gaara. Gaara raised up his hand and his sand descended upon Naruto like a waterfall, but right before Naruto was covered, he speedily jumped to the side just in time to avoid the attack, and with the sand away from Gaara, it left the boy completely open for attack.
"Got you Gaara!" Naruto yelled as he swung his fist right at Gaara's face. Surprisingly Gaara didn't even bother to move, and allow the punch to hit him. Naruto's fist went right through his head, scaring the hell out of Naruto, and caused Koga to smirk.
"Behind you…" Gaara whispered to Naruto. The head that Naruto's fist went through suddenly became sand, and wrapped itself on Naruto's arm, making him unable to block the incoming attack of sand. Gaara motioned his sand to charge at Naruto who was simply a sitting duck, and watched as he was covered.
"Koga-sama, I believe I have won." Gaara said to his new teacher as he began to move his sand off of Naruto before he ran out of air. When he uncovered all of the sand he was surprised to see no Naruto, and a hole. Oh hell! Gaara shouted in his mind. It was too late though, for Naruto had come up from below Gaara and pounded him right in the chin, sending Gaara flying.
"Dad1 I think I got him down!" Naruto cheered, but Koga simply shook his head and pointed over to Gaara, who was getting up from the impact, and glared at Naruto, not a hateful glare, just a How-did-you-do-that glare.
Sand was dripping off of Gaara's face instead of blood, which really disappointed Naruto. He had finally thought he got a good blow on Gaara, only to find out that somehow his sand had taken the blow for him.
"How did you do that Gaara?" Naruto shouted over to Gaara.
"Sand armor…" Gaara murmured back as the sand was replaced in the spot where he was hit. When it was done being 'replaced', Gaara waited, with his arms crossed, for Naruto to come and try to hit him.
Naruto was becoming impatient, and decided to charge again. He dodged the sand that Gaara sent flying at him, and managed to hit Gaara again. There they began to exchange hits, Gaara missed almost every time, and was hit about two thirds of the time. Finally Gaara made sand come up all around him to protect him from Naruto's blows.
"Scared of me Gaara?" Naruto teased, which made Gaara send all of his sand towards Naruto, who was hit several times. The sand was becoming like tentacles now, and Gaara was in the center. When one tentacle flew at Naruto and he dodged it, another would come and try to hit him before he could get any closer.
Finally Naruto managed to get enough distance between him and Gaara and began to breath heavily. Man, Gaara is tough… back home in Konoha, Sasuke would be as offensive as me, but Gaara is way more defensive than offensive… Naruto really had no idea how to beat the ultimate defense.
There is only one way to beat him now… Naruto figured in his head. Hey Koga, can I borrow some of your chakra? Naruto asked kindly.
Over the days that Naruto had figured out that his adopted father was really Kyuubi he had accepted it. When he, Ayumi, and his Dad were traveling to Suna, his father would explain what the benefits of having his chakra pretty much still sealed inside of him could do. Though Koga told him not to use it without his permission, or if it was a life or death situation.
Well Naruto, it seems that you can't win if he is using that… Koga mused over the thought of Naruto using his chakra and finally said, Just a little bit.
Thanks dad! Naruto said in hi mind. Now back to the field of battle he put his hands together and began to focus. In a little bit, he had a red hue glowing around him, and he looked wilder. His fingernails extended into claws, and his teeth turned sharp, what made Gaara show a small surprised expression was Naruto's red eyes.
"That's no fair!" Gaara turned over to Koga and asked, "Is he allowed to use his demon's chakra like that!"
"I allowed him to, why don't you use your demon's power?" Koga said. I wonder if he'll actually use it… He wondered to himself.
Gaara paled, he didn't want to have anything to do with the demon inside of him anymore, and yet this man was telling him to use it. Use it to my advantage… yeah… make it pay rent for being in my body! Gaara decided to visit the demon within him…
(Inside Gaara's mind.)
When Gaara first entered his own mind he was pretty freaked out. The walls were stained red with blood, and on the ground blood filled up to almost his ankles. He would have gotten out immediately if he didn't know his goals of coming in here were.
"Jeez, it looks like this came right out of a horror movie!" Gaara exclaimed as he continued walking through the place.
He heard heavy breathing coming from the room at the very end of the hallway and slowly made his way there, trying to ignore the blood that seeped through the door that lead into the room. When he reached it, he held the handle of the door before finally pressing forward and entering the room.
"Is anyone in here?" He asked loudly.
"Who is there!" A huge voice demanded at once.
Gaara walked over to the source of the voice, and found a huge gate, and figured out the blood was pouring out from under it. This room seriously gives me the creeps… Gaara thought to himself.
"Are you here to free me?" The voice in the cage asked when it noticed Gaara standing on the other side.
"Not really…" Gaara muttered.
"Then kill and get me blooooooood!" It whined.
"No, I'm not going to kill, and you will not be receiving any blood!" Gaara shouted. He examined the room and said, "Besides, you have enough here already…"
The demon suddenly slammed itself against the gate that separated him from the child and screamed as loud as it could at the child. "KILL! KILL! I DEMAND IT!" It continued to shout.
"Shut up you stupid demon! Now that I'm the one in charge of my thoughts, and actions, I have decided that you have to pay a rent to stay here!" Gaara yelled at the beast.
The demon looked amused now and asked, "And what might that be human?"
"I demand you loan me some of your chakra so I can defeat my opponent." Gaara stated simply.
The demon turned around and seemed to begin arguing with itself… "I don't wanna loan him anything! Wait, it might have blood shed! I also may be able to take control!"
Gaara snorted, "It's unlikely you'll take control of me… very unlikely…"
The Demon turned and glared at the child and suddenly broke into laughter. "Ha! You think you can work with a demon! Fine I'll give you chakra that I have! We'll see what happens!"
Suddenly under the cage instead of blood, red chakra suddenly appeared and swooped around Gaara, who allowed it to go around him until he found himself in the real world once again.
(Outskirts of Suna.)
So he did it. Koga figured out in surprise.
Arashi stirred inside of Koga's mind and said, If motivated to win, a child will do anything to gain power.
I guess so… Koga muttered.
Red chakra suddenly went around Gaara, and his eyes turned yellow with a diamond shaped pupil in the center. His teeth grew into fangs, and his fingernails, much like Naruto's, extended into claws.
"Are you ready Naruto!" Gaara shouted.
"Hell yeah! Lets do this!" Naruto shouted as he charged at Gaara with inhuman speed. Gaara though was able to see Naruto clearly, since he was also powered by a demon. When Naruto was just about the punch Gaara in the face, a wall of sand came up and defended the child.
Gaara suddenly let out a roar, and the and in the surroundings shot towards Naruto like bullets. Naruto easily dodged most of them, and came up to Gaara swiftly, and slashed at him with his claws. Gaara brought up his arm to intercept the attack, and his sand armor took the blow instead of his flesh.
"Come on Gaara! Drop the sand so we can have a man to man fight!" Naruto shouted.
"You wish! Without my sand I'd be too easy!" Gaara admitted as he sent another wave of sand bullets at Naruto. Naruto ran out of the way of the sand bullets, and ran up behind Gaara, and managed to kick him in the back before his sand could come and assist him.
While Gaara went flying across the field, his sand armor began to regenerate on the spot it was hit, and Gaara didn't even gain a wound yet. Gaara then noticed that all the scratches that Naruto had gained during the fight had vanished.
Gaara decided to end the fight now. He got control of as much sand as possible and began to spin as fast as he could, and soon enough he had a huge tornado of sand. Naruto was smart enough to stay away from it, but from underneath Naruto, a hand made completely of sand grabbed his foot and tossed him into the twister.
"Damn you and your ability to control sand Gaara!" Naruto shouted from within the twister. Naruto dodged some clumps of sand that Gaara had purposely put in there to hit him and try to knock him out. Naruto grabbed onto the clumps that came after him, and began to jump on one after another until he got low enough to see Gaara spinning below him.
Naruto jumped down with his claws extended out and tried to hit Gaara, but at the last moment, Gaara stopped his spinning and looked up to intercept Naruto with a wall of sand, in the end, Naruto appeared behind Gaara, his wall of sand wasn't fast enough to intercept Naruto.
They both just stood there, until Gaara finally collapsed onto the ground. The sand above them simply flew off into the wind, and fell back down to the ground over time.
"Hey Dad… I think I won!" Naruto shouted. At that instant, Naruto collapsed as well, that was defiantly one of the toughest fights he had ever done.
They both will become great ninja's one day… Arashi muttered inside of Koga's mind.
Agreed, Naruto didn't even use any Ninjutsu or Genjutsu in that fight, and Gaara only used Ninjutsu, and very little Taijutsu… Just imagine what it will be like when they're ninja's… Koga said.
You might want to go take them back to the Hotel… Arashi said.
Oh, you're right! Koga quickly gathered them up and grabbed his bag. He had each child slung over both of his shoulders, and he began to walk back to the village of Suna.
(While wandering through the crowds of Suna.)
"This feels really…awkward…" Koga muttered. People were staring at him as if he was their savior because he had an unconscious Gaara heaved over his shoulder. They even offered him discounts on all their goods. Koga simply ignored them all.
It seems this village is not fond of Gaara… Arashi muttered.
No really Sherlock? Did you also notice that the sun is yellow? The sky is blue? Koga answered sarcastically.
You should show me more respect… Arashi sighed.
Okay, I'm sorry… Koga muttered.
Look behind you… it seems two ninja's are following you… Arashi warned.
Koga nodded and said, you noticed too? I'm glad it wasn't just me… Koga sighed.
Might want to confront them Koga, before you all make a scene here… Arashi advised.
Yeah, I'll head into this alley here and see what they want… Koga murmured.
Koga continued to walk down the road until he saw an alley. Once he turned in there he walked a little further before he sat both the children down and the bag he was carrying. He then turned around to face that people that had come to see him.
"What do you want?" He demanded.
"I told you he knew we were following him! But you had to say, 'come on, he can't be that good! Lets just keep following him until we can confront him!'" The one in the black suit yelled at the other.
The female one turned to her male companion and yelled, "HEY! Kankuro! He is holding our little brother right now! That must be what the whole sand storm right outside of our village was all about! He must of killed our brother!"
"Isn't that a good thing Temari? We won't have to worry about him killing us anymore…" Kankuro muttered.
Temari looked shocked and yelled, "How can you say that about our little brother? He may be mean, evil, and rude, but we still have to look after him and make sure he stays out of trouble!"
"Even with our father sending in people to kill him?" Kankuro asked.
"Yes!" She shouted.
"Um… you two… if you want to I will explain all of this to you…" Koga began.
"Shut up! I'm speaking with my brother here!" Temari screamed at him.
"Wait… weren't you following me though?" Koga asked again.
"Oh…" Temari and Kankuro looked up at him, they both began to brawl on the floor about what was the right decision to do was, and Koga sort of just watched them with a 'what the hell' look.
"If you want, you two can come to where Naruto, your brother, and I are staying…" Koga offered.
"Oh, right!" Kankuro said as he straightened himself up. "We'll go with you."
"No we won't! You killed Gaara!" Temari yelled.
Koga sighed and said, "No… you don't understand, you see…"
"You killed him probably by the request of my father! For doing that I will kill you to avenge my younger brother!" Temari screamed.
She has a lot of respect for her younger brother… Koga thought.
Yes… She probably doesn't show it much to him though, thinking he'll kill her… Arashi sighed.
Temari suddenly grabbed at her fan, which she had kept on her back the whole, time and slash it open. She suddenly swung it and razor winds shot straight towards Koga.
"Come on! Just listen to me girl!" Koga shouted as he just shot some red chakra out of his hands and deflects the winds all together.
"How did he do that?" Kankuro asked. "Is it even possible to deflect winds?"
"Apparently it is…" Koga sighed. "Temari, just calm down before I have to knock you out." Koga said.
"But you kill our brother!" She shouted.
"He isn't dead! Just sleeping!" He yelled at her.
Temari looked at her younger brother for a second and laughed at Koga and said, "You're lying, everyone knows that because of the demon within my brother he can't sleep at night!"
A vein popped in Koga's head. Ok… I'm just going to knock her out… After he said that he disappeared, and then reappeared behind Temari and smacked a certain spot on her neck, knocking her out cold.
Koga looked over to Kankuro who now waved his hands in front of himself and said, "Ah! I don't want to fight! I was just following my sister around!"
Koga sighed again and said, "Ok… gather her up and I'll explain everything where I'm staying…" Koga said. Kankuro simply nodded and grabbed Temari, and followed the man in front of him…
