This chapter covers Kankuro's reactions to ways 1 through 6.


Kankuro had just enjoyed a hamburger from one of his favorite local restaurants in Suna. And now he was on his way home.

"Hi Kankuro!"

Kankuro turned around to face the girl who had called him. It was a girl that he had never seen before. She had brown hair and she was wearing a black shirt that said KankyFan in big purple letters. "Uh… hi. Do I know you?"

"No." the girl replied. "But I know YOU! And you can call me KankyFan."

"Ok… bye!"

"Wait! Not so fast Kankuro! The other fans and I want to ask you a question!"

"Other fans?"

"Yep." the girl said and pointed to a group of people standing behind her.

"Alright… what do you want to ask?"

"Why do you wear that face paint? Because some of the other fans and I think its too similar to makeup. And only girls should wear makeup."

"Its none of your business why I wear it. And I don't care if you think its similar to makeup. There. Does that answer your question?"

"I guess…"

"Alright… now get out of my face before you make me mad!" Kankuro turned his back to the group of fans and continued his walk home.

When Kankuro finally arrived home he decided to head to his workshop and work on his puppets. He walked through the many hallways of the large house until he arrived at the door to his workshop. He opened the door and walked in. He gazed up at the rows of shelves that lined the walls expecting to see his collection of puppets that he had created over the years of practicing the puppet jutsu. His eyes grew wide with horror at what he saw. All of his puppets were gone! His eyes quickly darted from shelf to shelf but all he saw were dolls! Hundreds of tiny dolls, all wearing pink dresses, staring at him with their horrible little painted eyes.

"NOOOOO!"

He quickly ran out of his workshop, through the halls, and ran towards the main room.

"Tamari! You have to help me!" He shouted. When he entered the main room he heard somebody sigh and say "He just HAS to come in when we start to have a good time!"

He recognized the voice. It was KankyFan. He looked around the room until he spotted her. The room was also filled with all of the other people that had been with her earlier.

"Kankuro! Stop screaming like a crazy person! We have guests!" Tamari said as she walked around the room passing out glasses of water to the fans.

"It was you guys!" Kankuro screamed. "You stole my puppets! And… replaced them with dolls!"

KankyFan smiled at Kankuro. "Maybe we wouldn't have done it if you would have given us a better answer to our question."

"GET OUT!!" Kankuro screamed.

"Ok we'll leave. But you don't get your puppets back until you answer our question!"

The fans left and Kankuro tried to gather his thoughts. He really did want his puppets back… maybe he should try to get the fans to tell him where they were. He decided to go after them.

"Hey you guys! Wait up!" Kankuro ran outside and tried to catch up with the group.

One of the fans turned around. "Hey guys look its cat woman! Oh wait… nope its just Kankuro."

"That's not funny!" Kankuro said. "Now tell me where my puppets are!"

"Not until you answer our question!"

"NO!"

"Fine then… we have other ways of making you answer questions." One of the fans said. And with that they all walked away and left Kankuro standing in front of his house.

Kankuro searched the village for his puppets for the next hour. But when he couldn't find anything he decided to return home. When he walked inside he saw Gaara sitting on the floor in the main room. He had his arms wrapped around his knees and he was staring at the floor. "Hey Gaara, what are you doing on the floor?" Kankuro asked. Gaara remained silent. As Kankuro approached his little brother he could see the tears running down his cheeks. "Gaara? What's wrong?"

Gaara didn't look up. "Nothing…"

"It has to be something… Gaara tell me what's wrong!"

Gaara looked up at his big brother. "Well… there were these people and…"

"What? What people? What did they do to you?"

"I don't know who they were…" Gaara said.

"What did they look like?"

"I don't remember… but one of them was wearing a shirt that said KankyFan."

Kankuro was filled with rage. "Sorry Gaara you'll have to tell me what happened later." He gave his little brother a quick hug then ran out the door.

"What did you do to my little brother?!" Kankuro screamed when he finally found the group of fans.

"Nothing." One of them replied. We just made him watch an episode of Naruto that we had on DVD."

"What episode?" Kankuro asked.

"Assassin of the Moonlit Night." The fan replied.

Kankuro thought about it for a second. "Wait… isn't that the episode where-"

"Yep. it's the episode where Yashamaru tries to murder poor little six year old Gaara."

"WHY?!" Kankuro screamed. "Why would you make him re live those memories! You people are evil!"

"Maybe we are… but this can all end Kankuro. Just answer our question."

"No!"

"Why not?"

"Because… because I just can't!"

"That's ok. We don't want you to answer that question anymore anyway."

Kankuro smiled. "You don't?"

"Nope." The fan said. "We want you to do something else."

"… alright I'll do whatever you want. Just stay away from my little brother!"

"Take off your hood and wipe off your face paint." The fan said.

Kankuro nodded and took off his hood. One of the fans handed him and wet cloth and he wiped off his face paint.

Just then one of the fans returned with a tray full of snow cones. "Hey guys I got the snow-" he stopped and looked at Kankuro. "It's a miracle! Oh wait… its just you Kankuro. Sorry… I thought you were the fourth Kazekage. You look just like him without your face paint and hood."

Kankuro turned to face the fans. "THAT'S why! That's why I wear this stuff! Because without it I look too much like my dad! And I hate it! Are you happy now?!"

"Yep." One of the fans replied. "Well its been fun… see you later Kankuro!"
