Hi All!

Welcome to chapter 3 of 'The Adventures Of Kisame And The Kazekage'.

Thank you to everyone who has read up to this point. :)

Since this is a fanfiction, it doesn't have to make any sense. It doesn't matter that they are from two different lands and on different sides. All the more fun of creativity!

My friend and I came up with this idea randomly one time and I started writing as soon as I checked that it hadn't been done before.

Anyways, enjoy! – NinjasWillRuleTheWorld

Chapter III – We Meet Again Current age: 18

Gaara was feeling bored. Kankuro and Temari were out on a mission and Gaara was left to finish preparations for the Chuunin exams. They were to be held in the Leaf Village again and Gaara would have to travel there in a few weeks.

"Maybe I'll go see Naruto…" Gaara thought out loud. He and Naruto had remained very close friends over the years. Naruto was now a Jonin and his dreams of becoming Hokage were a mere step away.

The day was incredibly warm. There were storm clouds in the distance though.

"I'm hungry…" Gaara said suddenly, getting up to go to the fridge.

Kisame had been on the move for about two days now. In a few hours he would be in the Sand Village.

"I'll need to think of a plan to infiltrate the village. They probably wouldn't let me in willingly…" Kisame started thinking. Then he saw a backpacker traveling in the opposite direction. "Hmm…" Kisame now had a grin plastered on his face.

Gaara was eating a toasted ham and cheese roll.

"Yum…" He half cheered, taking another bite.

The clouds were rolling in faster and the wind was picking up.

"There will be a sandstorm soon", Gaara realized. He called Baki into his office.

"What is it, Lord Kazekage?" Baki bowed to his superior.

"Warn the villagers and other ninja of an impending sandstorm immediately. Tell them to spread the word", Gaara commanded.

"Yes, my lord", Baki bowed again, running out of the building.

Kisame had no trouble getting into the village.

Kisame had jumped the backpacker he saw. Luckily the guy was around the same body build as Kisame. Kisame quickly knocked him out without killing him and stole his clothes. He then hid the guy in some bushes nearby and he also took his bag but left the guy's belongings behind. Kisame put the cloak into his bag and quickly put on his newly obtained ones. They fit exceptionally well. He kept his hat on so it could cover his face. His blue skin and gills were a dead giveaway as to who he was. He then sped off before the guy could wake up and realized what had happened.

"Mister!" A little kid ran up to Kisame and Kisame flinched, thinking he had been discovered.

"There's a sandstorm coming! Please go inside as soon as possible!" The kid said, looking up at Kisame.

"Oh, okay. Thanks", Kisame said, trying not to sound scary.

"You're welcome", the kid said, running off.

"Sandstorm…" Kisame repeated, walking off.

Gaara was looking at the photo again. The same one as before. He smiled sadly at the photo.

"I don't know whether he's alive or not anymore…"

Kisame had made it to the tower. There was a guard in front of it.

"I'll try the friendly approach…" Kisame muttered, walking up to the gate. He turned and waved at the guard.

This guard was new. He seemed delighted that someone waved to him and waved back, not stopping Kisame from entering the building.

"What a nice fellow!" The guard marveled.

"That was too easy…" Kisame sweatdropped, amazed it only took that much to get into the tower.

Kisame quickly walked up the halls and he came to the Kazekage's door. Breathing in, he knocked.

Gaara heard the knock. "Come in", he called.

Kisame heard Gaara's reply and opened the door.

Gaara looked up and a tall figure entered the room. The figure stood there for a minute.

"Hello", Kisame said, lifting the hat.

Gaara's eyes widened when he saw the blue skin, the gills, and the shark teeth. Everything he recognized immediately.

"Kisame…" Gaara whispered.

Suspense!

Just have to read the next chapter when it's published!

It might be a little while before the next chapter is released because I have end of year exams coming up very soon, but I'll do my best to get the chapter up A.S.A.P!

Please review and tell me your thoughts of how the story is coming along. And ideas are still welcome for childhood flashbacks in later chapters.

Thanks for reading! - :)
