Gaara trudged up to the gates of Suna. He was very annoyed with the council of Iwa. It's like they never stopped talking but he got the peace treaty he wanted. The guards at the gate greeted Gaara. He nodded and entered his village.
He walked into the house and dropped his items on the floor and went upstairs. He got changed and came back down. He walked into the kitchen where he found Temari and Kankuro. He looked around. "Where's Sakura and Naruto?" he asked. Temari looked up but didn't say anything. She passed him the letter. He skimmed over it. "WHAT?" he shouted. "WHY DID YOU LET THEM LEAVE!? IT'S DANGEROUS OUT THERE TOO!" Gaara snapped at them. "We didn't want to leave either!" Temari yelled. Gaara stomped out and went to his room. He sat at his desk and wrote a letter to Tsunade. He got up and transported himself in front of the post office. He sent the letter and left.

"Sakura-chan, do you have any more water?" Naruto begged. Sakura took out another bottle of water and tossed it to him. "Here. Make it last." she said to him. He nodded and took a sip. "I wonder what Gaara's doing right now." Sakura thought to herself. She smiled at Naruto. "Hey Sakura-chan! When we get back I'll treat you to some dango and tea!" he smiled back at her. "Don't you want ramen Naruto?" she questioned. "Of course! We can get ramen after we get some dango!" he yelled with joy. "Fine." she said and they kept walking.
Sakura and Naruto walked into the gates of Konoha after 2 days of walking. "Hey Sakura-chan! Let's get the dango and ramen now!" Naruto smiled at her. "Sure." she smiled back and they walked to Ichiraku ramen. On the way Sakura and Naruto ran into Konohamaru,Udon and Moegi. "Hey Naruto,Sakura! I haven't seen you guys in awhile!"yelled Konohamaru. The three of them ran up to them. "So how was your vacation in Suna?" Konohamaru asked. Sakura looked down. Konohamaru noticed and decided not to push the subject. "Well we have to go now! Granny Tsunade wants to see us!" Konohamaru said. The three ran off towards the tower. Sakura and Naruto stopped in front of Ichiraku ramen. "Hey Naruto, let's just get ramen. We're already here." Sakura said. "Alright!" he said and sat on a stool. Sakura sat next to Naruto. He looked at her. "Hey Sakura-chan cheer up. It's not like it's the last time we will see them." he smiled. "Yeah but I wanted to say bye to Gaara."she said. "Me too." he looked away. "Here you go!" Teuchi said to them. "Thanks old man!" he said while diving into his bowl.

Gaara sat at the dinning room table and waited for dinner to be served. "I wonder what she's doing right now." he said to himself. Shakaku laughed. "You can't even forget about her for 2 minutes." he said. "I'm just worried." Gaara said to the demon. "If you are so worried then why are we still here? Let's go see her!" Shakaku yelled. "Your right. I can't sit here and eating food that will kill me someday! I have to protect Sakura from her dad!" Gaara yelled in his mind. He jumped from the chair and got ready to depart for Konoha.
