(This is my first Naruto fic, but I have been a fan for many years)
The three of them jumped to the trees and began to head to the Master's house. Naruto tried to start a conversation since he knew Sasuke and Gaara sure as hell weren't. Sasuke was still an uptight person and took little time to mess around. Especially since Itachi was still out there and Orochimaru was still missing. Apparently Orochimaru had given up on taking Sasuke for a body.
Gaara was also very independent and still didn't like expressing himself to others. Then again, who wouldn't want to keep quiet if you haven't had a good sleep in many years? Gaara was still single and probably was going to stay that way. The Sasuke fan club eventually matured and began to leave Sasuke alone. Naruto tried to start a conversation with men who don't really like to talk.
"So…Gaara. What is it like to be Kazekage?"
"It's alright" said Gaara. Naruto just gave up.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Gaara had been running through the trees for about 15 minutes when they suddenly saw the house. They all stop and stare at it. They notice that it is quite an old house, but of decent condition. Suddenly, shiriken were flying through the air. All three of them quickly jump to the trees to dodge them but they notice that this activated another booby trap and kunai miss their heads by a few millimeters. Naruto actually received a clean cut right under his eye. That wasn't the end though. Fire emitted from the thick of the woods and the three of them had barely anytime to dodge it.
When they landed back on the ground they slowly looked up to see a middle-aged man with what looked like a lightning ball in his hand, ready to throw.
"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU!" The man shouted. Naruto managed to sputter out,
"We're from Konaha, and we were asked to talk to you about some of your techniques." The ball in the man's hand faded away. His face got the cocky look on it.
"REALLY, you want to see my techniques hoping to be just like me?" He let off with a smile. Naruto continued.
"Is it true that you know a technique that can remove the demon from someone's body and destroy it?" The man suddenly had a look of jealousy on his face.
"Oh, you mean my dad. I'll get him." None of them could believe that this was the son of the Master. They were positive that HE was the Master.
Sasuke had almost never seen someone set and activate traps and follow up with Ninjitsu within seconds.
Gaara's heart was pounding in his chest so hard it hurt. Even he, the Kazekage, wasn't expecting that sudden attack. However, his heart wasn't just pounding because of the attack. It was also pounding because the man inside could be the answer to his lifelong problem.
All three of them see the middle-aged man again and he says
"Come inside, my dad wants to talk to you three."
They all enter the decent sized house and enter the living room. They are in pure shock with what they see. It is what looks to be a 15 year old. Not exactly a tall one either. Around 5'6. He stares at them and asks them to sit down. His voice, though young, seemed to have much wisdom in it. They all sat one one couch as if the were going to see a psychologist, with the Master sitting in his large leather chair. All he needed was a pair of glasses, 30 years older, and ask really stupid questions. The Master spoke.
"You have been sent here by Tsunade-sama, correct?"
"Yes" said Sasuke, "we wish to know if you really are Usuigi Imagawa, the Master of every ninja art. The boy stared at Sasuke with a deep look.
"It sounds like you're challenging me."
(I have a question. Do you want Gaara to be freed of his Demon or should he remain the way he is? Please review)
