Gaara picks up the phone and calls Naruto where he explains the situation. Of course, Naruto is more than happy to help and tells Gaara to send anyone from the sand village that he can maybe while there they could prove to the people in the land of mountains that the sand village people are nice. Gaara was eager to have more allies and fewer enemies of the sand village. So he thanked Naruto for his help and hung up the phone.
Gaara called his guards in and ordered them to take Eva's grandmother to the guest room and to guard her with their life. He wasn't about to risk Eva going back to Sasori in order to rescue her again. Gaara looked at his siblings, and said, "Kankuro I'm sending you only to be an advisor since you're also a puppet master." He glares at him hard adding, "You're not to get involved unless instructed to do so."
Kankuro sighs, and says, "Anything just so I can be with her." Gaara says, "Fine now go and get packed." As soon as he's gone Temari asks, "What's up Gaara?"
Gaara replies concern written all over his face, and says, "I may not only lose a very valuable Ninja but my niece, or nephew as well." Temari says, "I didn't realize it was that serious I'll make sure Naruto knows so we have a great team."
Gaara sigh, and says, "I wish you luck Temari. I just hope that our brother doesn't wind up with a broken heart." Temari smiles and replies, "Don't under-estimate Eva Gaara she's a good ninja. She'll do whatever she has to protect herself, and her baby."
Gaara nods his head and motions for his sister to head out on the mission. Temari quickly packs and meets up with her brother who she find sitting on his bed looking at a small black box. She sighs, and asks, "Is that for Eva?"
Kankuro responds, "Yeah too bad she'll never get a chance to see it." Temari smacks his head, and yells, "Don't you have any faith in her Kankuro?"
Kankuro looks at his sister, and says, "Yeah but…" Temari yells, "But nothing she's stalling Sasori as we speak the sooner we find her. The sooner you'll have her back."
Kankuro smirks at the thought of having her back in his arms he groans at the sudden discomfort coming from his pants being too tight. Temari looks at her brother in disgust, and says, "Let's get going pervert."
Kankuro puts the box in his pocket, and they both rush to the leaf village. Once at the leaf village, Temari explains everything to Naruto while a worried Kankuro paces outside. Naruto's wife had found something of Eva's that she had left, and assigned Kiba to the mission since Akamaru could track her down. He had also assigned Shikamaru to the mission knowing that they would need several good strategies to rescue Eva.
Temari took the paperwork and joined her brother in the hall. She led him to the gate to meet the rest of the team. Kankuro was less than happy to see the man who was his sister's lover standing there but he didn't care about that now as long as they rescued his Eva. He was willing to make a deal with the devil himself if it meant that she'd be safe and in his arms again.
They raced off to the land of mountains with Kiba, and Akamaru leading the way all the way there. The land of mountains had a hard time refusing them entrance when they saw that this was a personal request from of the leaf village's Hokage. While they were there people's opinion change about the sand village mostly due to Kankuro's constant worry, and concern.
