An entire week had passed since the dramatic scene inside of the Restaurant and no one has seen or heard from Namay Sarutobi since she Teleported away. Namay hasn't even been back to the Apartment she was sharing with her roommate and good friend Kakashi Hatake, making him along with her other loved ones start to wonder if the unstable woman left the Hidden Leaf Village for a second time and if they would have to wait another ten plus years to see her again.
Of course those doubts were totally unfounded because Namay Sarutobi did not leave the Hidden Leaf Village. She has spent the last week camped outside Sasuke Uchiha's place of residence and that is where anyone who was actively looking could find her right now since she is fast asleep using her backpack as a pillow,spread out on a thick tree branch that overlooked Sasuke's bedroom.
However the young clever Ninja knew full well that she was outside his home for Sasuke Uchiha was no fool in the slightest and on this particular morning he decided to call her out. Sasuke opened up his widow leaned out of it and throw a medium sized rock at Namay which stopped in mid-air hovering mere inches from her face as her eyes shot open and she sat up yawning before turning to Uchiha saying:
"I was wondering when you were going try something, We both know that you Sasuke noticed I have been your shadow for the last week but I don't understand why it took you so long to make a move... I thought you to be a bit more quick tempered then that especially when you have a female tailing you day in and day out."
Namay let loose her Telekinetic hold on his rock and it fall to the ground as she watched his reaction and awaited his explanation.
"Hmm, It seems that you do live up to your reputation... I mean not many people can stop an attack while still asleep very impressive but that's besides the point... I only took this long to confront you because I need you to show yourself to Kakashi Sensei, He has done nothing but mope around since you supposedly disappeared... I could care less what happened between the two of you and normally I would stay out a Lover's Quarrel but It's effecting my training and with the final round of the Chunin Exams coming up next week, I need him to pull his head out of his ass long enough to train me properly and it seems the only way to do that is if you make an appearance."
"Yeah well I am not like many other people, I'm one of a kind Sasuke Uchiha, Remember that for it will come into play later on in your life... As for your request as much as I rather not deal with anyone else in the Village right now, I suppose I have no choice in the matter since I have no other leads on Orochimaru other then you're fresh Cursed Seal which if I am not mistaken Kakashi sealed away for you but still that mark remains and that in itself is enough for the Snake Bastard to try his damnedest to collect you as his ultimate prize and with you being of the Uchiha bloodline makes him want you all that more badly... Speaking of the Uchiha Clan, So tell me Sasuke how do you really feel about your brother Itachi Uchiha? What if you found out he wasn't all that you think him to be, I'm just curious what would you do then?"
Sasuke's eyes turned into his Sharingan as he heard the brother's name and pure hatred took him over, he suddenly throw out four of his Kunai at Namay which she easily waved off with one of her hands before jumping out of the tree she slept in to Sasuke's opened window hunching over him.
She grabbed him by his shoulders before saying:
"As I thought... Listen to me Sasuke Uchiha and listen well, You being this hellbent on Revenge is going to be your downfall, Trust me as someone who is on that same path I know what I am saying... It is to late for me to turn back not after all the horrible things I done since leaving this Village but you still have a chance to do something good with your life, However I warn you now Sasuke if you choose to go with that Asshole Orochimaru you will never find true peace within yourself and will continue to fall down this never-ending spiral of pure darkness and hatred."
She let go of his shoulders moving him in closer to herself hugging him which throw Sasuke complete off guard and it slipped him out of his hatred as he found himself hugging her back. Visions of his deceased Mother's embraces come into his mind as he envisioned Namay Sarutobi as Mikoto Uchiha before he knew what was happening tears were spilling down his cheeks soaking Namay's shirt which she notice but didn't say anything instead Namay simply reached down and dried away his tears for him then suggested they should get some breakfast before heading off to go train with Kakashi Hatake.
Kakashi was leaning against a large boulder atop a huge cliff with his nose stuck in one of Jiraiya's Icha Icha Make-Out Paradise books when he heard footsteps coming up the path near him without looking up he waved a hand at Sasuke:"Humph, Go figure that You're the one who's late this morning... Oh well, it at least it give me a good enough excuse to finish out this volume."
"Don't you ever get tired of reading those books Kakashi, Seriously I am starting to question rather or not You're as perverted as Master Jiraiya... I will give you one thing though you as as hell hide it allot better then he does, Actually he seems quite proud of his perverseness."
Namay Sarutobi teleported herself up on top of the boulder Kakashi Hatake was leaning on and looked down over his shoulder at the book in his hands. When he heard her voice Kakashi tilted his head up his one visible eye become wide as he spotted her and a slight blush formed on what could be seen on his masked face due to her calling him out on his adult book obsession in front of his student Sasuke.
"N-Namay... Why are you here... I thought you left the village... Again...I don't understand... What's going on?!"
He asked her while shutting his book trying to grasp the situation but it was Sasuke Uchiha who answered him:"Kakashi Sensei, She's here as a favor to me because to put it bluntly you have been lacking as a trainer and I don't know who put the idea in your head that she left the Village but as you can see they were mistaken... Now can we get some real training done for once before the final round gets here?"
Sasuke then let out a heavy sigh as if this entire conversation was annoying him a great deal already.
Kakashi kept looking up at Namay mostly to be sure she was in fact still there every since she left the Village the first time and came back he found himself having a deep fear of her leaving him again but with him being the type of man that he was he never let that fear show on the surface. So he ended up smiling up at her with his eye since his mouth couldn't been see due to his mask and tossed his book to her which she caught easily enough before Kakashi headed over to start Sasuke's lesson on how to maintain the Chidori.
A few hours and many giant holes later Sasuke was finally starting to show signs of being fatigued even though he would never admit to being that tried or weak, both Namay and Kakashi could plainly see he was in great need of rest.
" Maybe it is time for a rest Sasuke, It seems only two Chidori Blasts will work successfully for you in one day... If you try anymore then it may become fatal to your health... Keep in mind that this technique is hard for someone of my level to produce because it takes so much chakra and control, My own limit is four blasts." said Kakashi Hatake as he held his hand up in front of his face igniting a small spark of lightning only to let it go a second later.
Sasuke Uchiha was hardly paying attention to his Sensei as he took in some fresh air and leaned against the huge rock formation that Namay Sarutobi seemed to be sitting on top of lost in her own memories that were brought on due to certain chapters in Jiraiya's latest book which she was rereading and since she was personally involved behind the scenes of those chapters she couldn't help but relive past experiences with her Master.
That was until her only unique techniques started picking up rather odd yet disturbing vibes in the air that didn't belong to ether one of the guys standing below her.
"Hey, Whoever you are,You might as well come out and show yourself already...Your blood-lust is giving me a migraine."
From the boulder opposite Namay, out stepped a small red haired teenage boy with a large sand gourd on his back and an evil look in his pail green eyes as he stared down Sasuke Uchiha.
" You're Gaara of the Desert, Are you not... Why the hell are you are sneaking around here?" asked Sasuke while folding his arms across his chest to show he was not intimidated by this weirdo from the Hidden Sand Village.
"Tell me Sasuke Uchiha, What is your true purpose... Why is it that you seek power so badly?" inquired Gaara while glaring rays of pure loathing towards the young Uchiha.
Sasuke responded with:"Like It's any business of yours... Get the fuck outta here, You're interrupting my training."
Nether one of the two spoke for a long while after that they just stared one another down as Namay watched with interest atop her rocky seat and Kakashi tried to keep out of the awkwardness of it all.
The only sound that could be heard was the howling of the wind blowing throughout the terrain, However after a few more minutes of uncomfortable silence Gaara finally made the first movement by turning around about to take his leave but at the last moment he stopped and decided to tell Sasuke something else: "I see, You have the eyes... Eyes that seek power and will do anything to get that power even betray your fellow comrades and kill if need be... Eyes that are so full of hate that there is no such thing as redemption... All you want is revenge on all of those that have caused you pain, Eyes that are exactly like mine... We are the same Sasuke Uchiha."
He was about to take his leave again when Namay Sarutobi teleported herself near him. Gaara slightly turned his head to stare at her, He took one look into her eyes and simply said: " You're the same as me too."
She didn't say anything to him because she knew that he spoke the truth she could see that much in his own eyes and something else more sinister staring back at her which Namay done sensed from the very beginning and was her reasoning behind why she dared to approach him now.
She even want as far as to place her hand on Gaara's slender shoulder wanting to make the needed physical contact in order to be able to read his mind but things didn't go quite as she planned because no sooner then her hand touched his skin Namay was overcome with almost the same sensation that she had when touching Naruto Uzumaki for the first time.
Her and Gaara became one only unlike with Naruto it felt very unnatural almost asif her entire self was being ripped right out of her body and from the look on Gaara's usually emotionless face he was no doubt experiencing the same unpleasant effects.
The only thing that was actually the same as when she grabbed Naruto was the serge of energy flowing heavily between them only it was a much more dark energy with Gaara compared to Naruto's light energy source and sure enough the same misdirecting force was to much for ether her or him, Therefore Gaara was blasted face first into the boulder he was hiding behind or he would of been had his sand not shielded his impact and Namay found herself flying backwards towards Sasuke.
Luckily for her Kakashi Hatake was quick on the move and caught her before she could fly right over the edge of the mountain top they are currently occupying.
"Are you alright Namay? That was almost entirely like what happened with Naruto all over again... What the hell is going on with your powers lately?" asked Kakashi as he set her feet down onto the solid ground.
Namay didn't answer because she was having trouble standing and finally just gave in by dropping onto her bum near Kakashi's legs using them as back support while she sit there hyperventilating watching Gaara trying to calm the overwhelming mixtures of emotions she was forced to deal with due to her contact with him.
Gaara on the other-hand seemed unfazed standing across from all three of them without so much as a trace of any kind of emotional reaction but Namay knew better his inside were screaming in tormented agony all of it flowing through her own mind for her psychic connection had took hold. She was now able to read every single thought and experience all the tragic memories of the young Sand Ninja's life thus far.
Without another word to anyone Gaara simply vanished into a swirl of dusty sand leaving all three Konoha members alone. Namay let out a huge sigh of relief because Gaara took his turmoil with him as he disappeared so did it.
Now that she gained control of herself she stood up saying:" I think now is a good time for all of us to get the hell out of here before he decides to come back, I have never came across someone with such murdering plots running throughout his head as that kid... I think it is safe to say he has more then a few screws loose... Sasuke, you really need to be careful when fighting him because for some reason he really has it in for you."
"Humph, Like I care about some crazy reject like that... He doesn't scare me one bit." he said that but his thoughts betrayed him to Namay since she also had a connection to Sasuke. She knew better but chose to say nothing on the matter.
Kakashi however did ask some personal things that have been on his mind:" I agree we should leave but I was just wondering, Where are you heading to Namay? Will you come back to the apartment or are you still on your solo kick thinking that you don't need to be close to anyone?"
Namay Sarutobi rolled her eyes at Kakashi before patting Sasuke on the back in a reassuring manner. Then she preformed the hand signs she needed to teleport herself out of the area not giving Kakashi Hatake an answer at all. She just left him standing there still questioning her actions next to his student Sasuke Uchiha.
