Gaara, Temari and Kankurou walked through the slightly humid air and into Konoha through the huge front gates. Kankurou scratched behind his ear as he read from a book he had 'borrowed' from someone, Temari layered a little more lipgloss onto her lips and the Kazekage; Gaara, silently walked along the road with a slight bored look on his face.

"GAARA!" came a scream somewhere ahead.

Gaara froze in his tracks and almost thought that he had fangirls in this village too, but was corrected when something large and orange hit him hard in the chest.

"GAARA!"

Gaara flinched as the orange thing shouted in his ear and started shaking him.

"Stop it, Uzumaki! You'll kill him!" gasped Temari, pulling Naruto away from her sibling.

Kankurou looked over his copy of itcha itcha paradise with raised eyebrows.

Gaara placed a hand to his forehead, a slight migraine threatening to take over.

"Guess what, Gaara!" squealed Naruto, bounding around the three siblings.

"What?" sighed Gaara, opening his eyes and letting his hand fall to his side.

Gaara refused to take a step back just as he was nose-to-nose with a beaming Uzumaki Naruto.

"I'm the new Hokage."

Gaara's impassive mask shattered. His eyes widened, his jaw dropped and if he had been carrying anything in his hands, he would've most certainly dropped it.

thud

Kankurou's itcha itcha paradise book lay at it's owner's feet and Temari's lipgloss joined it.

Naruto beamed at the three of them.

Gaara was the first to recover. "That's... That's... great!" croaked Gaara, blinking away the shock.

"I know!" squealed Naruto, bounding about. "Only you three, me, Sakura-chan, Tsunade-o-baa-chan and Shizune-san know, so far!"

"So, when is the ceremony going to be?" asked Temari, trying to get the sand off her tube of lipgloss.

"Shizune said it was going to be in three days." grinned Naruto.

"Awesome!" chimed in Kankurou, stuffing his perverted book in his pocket.

"C'mon! Lets go!" squealed Naruto, grabbing Gaara's hand and starting to run full-pelt down the road.
