With the damage delt by the sand, and the 3rd hokage gone a new day starts and the spark that sarutobi left has turned into a flame.
"Oh yay visitors" said Ikari as he lay in a hospital bed while his team enters the room"are you okay Ikari" asked Mio.
"Oh I'm fine just a few broken bones" said Ikari in a sarcastic voice " are you though " said Neko " I'll be fine in a few days " said Ikari " well there are two other people who are visiting you so we best get going" said Ryuu as they left.
Two people walk in. one is Ten-ten of course, the other is sasuke uchiha. "Hey Ten-ten" Said Ikari as he smiled, she set down a flower and left. " so what are you doing here sasuke" said a confused Ikari.
" I'll say it when kakashi and sakura get here " said Sasuke. after a few minutes go by Kakashi enters the room with sakura and sasuke speaks up "thank you"
"For what" asked Ikari. " If you and naruto hadn't done anything i'd be dead meat" said sasuke "can we go now that I've done your biding" said sasuke to kakashi and sakura
" Wait Ikari what happened with Naruto and gaara " asked sakura " they fought and something Naruto did changed gaara" said Ikari " so he's better now "said sakura
" why would you care about gaara he tried to kill you " asked Ikari "n-nothing" said a flustered sakura as she walked out.
Later that day "Neko if you do not do this how will you surpass me" said an angry Kai
"I'm trying... I can only get up to fifteen heads" said an annoyed Neko
" Well try again " said Kai in a firm tone. Neko concentrated on the ground. after a good thirty minutes of clearing his mind he started the jutsu " twenty headed water dragon jutsu!" Yelled Neko as holes formed in the ground and water soared out of them turning the water into a twenty headed dragon.
" I did it!" said a happy Neko. "good but I suspect better tomorrow" said Kai " yes sir" said Neko.
In the middle of town Mio is helping rebuild the city but drops some of the supplies, "Oh gosh darn it" yelled an angry Mio. "here let me help" said kiba as he started to pick up her supplies and give them to her.
"thank you kiba" said a smiling Mio, "no problem" said kiba as he started to help her fix some of town " so who do you thinks gonna be the next hokage " asked kiba
" maybe Kakashi he has the smarts and the skill" said Mio " or Naruto" said kiba in a joking manner, making mio giggle a little
"that should be good, thanks for the help kiba" said a smiling Mio " no problem see you later Mio" said kiba as he ran into the distance.
