Chapter 17
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gaara was finally ready. He had sent a letter to Tsunade and Sakura telling them that he was
coming. By the time the letter would arrive he would be 1 day into his journey. He informed Temari
and Kankuro that he would be gone for awhile. They agreed to let him go. They wanted Sakura to be
safe too. Temari and Kankuro sad their goodbyes and Gaara left.
"Junk, junk, junk, junk, junk."Tsunade sighed. She grabbed her mail and was about to throw it out
when she saw the letter from Gaara. "What's this?" she said while picking it up. She opened the
letter and read.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Tsunade,
I do not feel Sakura is safe so I am coming to Konoha to look over her. It's too late to stop me
now. I am already halfway there. Please do not inform Sakura that I am coming. I would like to
keep it a surprise.
-Gaara

Tsunade crushed the letter in her hand. "Does he think I am that weak?! That I can't take care of
a single person?!" Tsunade boomed. "SHIZUNE!" she called. Shizune came running in. "Yes
Tsunade-sama!" she stood up straight. "When our dear Kazekage shows up at the gate of Konoha. MY
VILLAGE. Please inform me. ME. THE PROTECTOR OF THE CITIZENS OF KONOHA!" she yelled. "Yes
Tsunade-sama!" Shizune said as she ran out of Tsunade's office. "I'd better get ready before he
comes." Tsunade said while taking out some sake.
By night time Gaara was almost there. He didn't stop to rest. He was going to keep going until he
saw Sakura. He wanted to see her so badly. So badly that he'd kill anyone the got in his way. He
was pissed off at Tsunade. She called Sakura back just to get on his nerves. He started to run to
Konoha. "It looks like someone will be getting hurt." Shakaku laughed.
Shizune waited at the gates waiting. "Gaara will probably be like Tsunade when she is woken up."
Shizune gulped. She looked off into the distance. "Oh no! He's here! What do I do?" Shizune
panicked. "Come on think." she said while hitting her head. "Right!" she remembered what Tsunade
said. Shizune dashed towards the tower not bothering to knock on her door. "Tsunade-sama..." She
tried to catch her breath. "Kazekage-sama is heading up to the gate. She sighed. Tsunade got up
and walked out of her office followed by Shizune and Ton-Ton. "Tsunade-sama please slow down!"
She ignored Shizune. "What do you plan on doing Tsunade-sama?" Shizune asked. "You'll see when we
get there Shizune!" Tsunade snapped. She made herself distant from Tsunade.
"Finally." Gaara said. "Look what we've got here boy." Shakaku said. Gaara looked up and saw a
very angry Tsunade. "Gaara! How dare you think that I can't protect Sakura!" she boomed and
pointed her finger at him. "I never said that Tsunade. I just said that I wanted to protect her.
I never said you couldn't protect her." he protested. Tsunade came charging head on at Gaara. He
sighed. The sand blocked her and threw her aside. He quickly dashed into Konoha followed by
Tsunade. "She's clearly drunk." Gaara said to the demon. "Yeah. I can smell the sake on her from
here." Shakaku replied. He nodded and ran faster towards Sakura's home. "Wait." Shakaku said.
"What is it?" Gaara said. "How do you know where she lives?" Shakaku asked. Gaara stopped running
and sighed. "I know where I can find out." he said and started to run towards the Hokage's tower.
He smashed through the door of her office and blocked the door and windows with sand. "I can't
let her in here yet." Gaara explained to the demon. "I don't see how you are going to locate
Sakura in here." Shakaku said. Gaara went over to the filing cabinet that was against the wall
and opened it. "Haruno, Haruno, Haruno. Come on! Where is it?!" Gaara said. "Looking for this?"
Gaara turned around and saw Tsunade. She was holding a folder that said Haruno, Sakura. Gaara
glared at her. "Give that to me woman." Gaara said in a threatening tone. Tsunade laughed and
charged at him. He blocked her punches with his sand. She got knocked back and she flew through
the window. Gaara grabbed the folder just in time. He ran out the door and down the stairs. "Is
that how your going to kill people from now on?" Shakaku said. "What?" Gaara asked. "Pushing
people out of a window.?" He asked. "Shut up." Gaara replied and continued to run.
Tsunade landed on her feet. Her eyes narrowed and she let out some kind of battle cry and she
ran.
Sakura was laying on her couch watching t.v when she heard banging at her door. Sakura got up
from the couch and went to the door. She opened it and looked at her door's assaulter. Her eyes
widened in surprise.
