Disclaimer: I don't own Gaara he owns me.
Shikamaru woke early the next morning and decided to visit his Sensei Sarutobi Asuma's resting place to pay his respect once more and clear his head of yesterday's questionable events.
Meanwhile a council was being held in Sunagakure. The council was very small only consisting of three people and one was the 80 year old Ebizo younger brother of Chiyo, the woman who gave up her life to resurrect Gaara when the Akatsuki captured him and removed shukaku so he died.
The second member was Masahiro a man who never shut up I guess he was the mouth behind the council, then there was the brains behind every decision the council made she was also the daughter of Masahiro and was only 1 year older than Gaara her name was Amber.
Amber had a lot of enemies and people who would like to get her out of the council any way they could, because it was her who convinced Ebizo and Masahiro to allow Gaara to continue being Kazekage after he died and was resurrected and all the Gaara fan girls hate her very much for what reason nobody knows.
All of a sudden one of Temari's carrier hawks flew in with a letter addressed to the Kazekage. The council watched him take the letter and read it. He looked up and the meeting began starting with Gaara.
Gaara: "I have called this meeting to discuss our Alliances with the other villages in neighboring nations and I have noticed that since the fourth Kazekage they have been weakened so we must find ideas to strengthen them if you know of anything we can do than speak it now.
Gaara watched as Amber leaned over and whisper into Ebizo's ear who nodded and whispered into Masahiro's ear and also nodded before they continued.
Masahiro: "Might we have a group of kunoichi travel to all Five of the most powerful hidden villages and become betrothed to one of their shinobi and do that for each village including the enemy ones?"
Gaara: "We are not enemies with the five great nations so that shouldn't be a problem. I will use this tactic and work from there.
They continued the discussion about who the candidates should be.
Amber: "Why don't we ask each of the kunoichi in our village if they will do it or we may just drive our village to its destruction. It's up to you Kazekage Sama."
That was the first time she had actually spoken for her self since she first became a member of the council and Masahiro did not like it at all. Masahiro glared at his outspoken daughter and said "I don't want to hear you speak out of place again and if you do their will be severe punishment waiting to take action across you loud mouth".
Gaara didn't like this at all because woman were as equal as men in his village so her furiously objected "No from know on if she has something to say or an idea she must speak it for herself and you two will keep your opinions about this to yourselves and speak your own words not hers. Do you understand me?"
Then Ebizo started laughing saying how Chiyo would have said the same thing all the while Masahiro continued to glare at his outspoken daughter with her new privilege. Gaara got up and dismissed the council but then he stopped the door and locked it leaving Amber in the room with him.
He gave her the letter and told her to read it because she was the only person he knew with a foreign name. She looked at him after reading it and said "What is the meaning of this slander? I haven't been to Konoha since 3 years ago when I sent word of your death." "Then that must mean that this is someone posing as you to get you fired or it maybe just a joke" said Gaara "I have an idea about who it is but I don't think I possibly can or will do anything about it without losing my place in the council anyway." Amber said because she is so pessimistic and she also speaks in a monotone (just like me). "If this gets out into the public it will get you into some even more serious trouble than losing your place in the council." Replied an agitated Gaara once more (he was agitated because she was so stubborn about this and she wasn't giving him the upper hand like everyone else does). "There is nothing I can do toward my own defense because nothing can be proven and I doubt anyone has power over the council and nobody would be willing enough to help me anyway so it is useless for me to even try to win something I know can't result in anything good" said Amber for the last time because the conversation was broken off or rather interrupted when Kankuro came in with an obnoxious look on his face.
He looked at Amber and then at Gaara and said "I'm sorry am I interrupting something". Gaara said "No but there is something I need to inform you about and Amber can stay here a little bit longer because our conversation is not finished." Amber sighed pitifully, Kankuro smirked, and Gaara ignored this and sat down to begin informing Kankuro.
Then they all sat down and Gaara said "To improve our village's strength and numbers in allies we will have 3 kunoichi go to each of the 3 remaining Great countries villages, excluding Temari and Konoha because she is there already, visit each village for an arranged marriage. I have decided Temari will go to konoha since she is already there and we will also have to have an arranged marriage in this village to show our allegiance, but first I need to inform the other villages including Konoha of our intentions so that they don't come unannounced and try to assassinate our shinobi and to find out who they will elect as their candidate for each of their villages so I know who to pick as our representative."
As for Amber I need her to observe Temari's behavior for two days and report directly immediately after she returns and as for you Kankuro your part in this is to observe Konoha's candidate just incase Temari won't be able to get along and screws this up for Konoha and see for yourself before we do this to our sister." "I will be become upfront and personal with our village's shinobi so I can who is trying to get Amber dismembered from the council." Gaara told them.
Amber bowed to the Kazekage and was out the door before they could finish what was already decided. She returned to her house expecting her father to be their waiting even though they don't live together but he wasn't so I guess there was no punishment so as she waited to be alerted to begin her mission she thought about a change in behavior. Gaara had changed so much since he came back from the chuunin exam after his father's death he seamed easier to be around.
Now it had been five and a half years since then and he has become more humanly, but the thing is he had become humanly before the demon was removed. He actually had goal other than being homicidal he was different and people liked him especially the fangirls who acted like he was born normal without a demon but the men still had problems with him because his father effect had not lost its hold.
She decided not to ponder so much and awaited a punishment of some sort from her father but it never came.
Back in the Kazekage's office Kankuro read Temari's letter and said "Such nonsense I don't read those magazines I watch the videos." Then he realized what he had just said and correcting himself said "Whoa I didn't know Amber was like that and I didn't think you would be owned I always thought you would do the owning. Just wait till the fangirls hear this." An annoyed Gaara said "She isn't like that. She's too quiet to do something like this and it's none of your business who does the owning if it's anyone it would be me!" Gaara said letting the anger reside in his voice.
Why is Gaara acting weird and what will happen when Temari becomes engaged in an arranged marriage, and who is it with.
