-In Suna-

Gaara crushed the chunin guarding the gate and watched as a sand storm approached from grass country. Gaara knew what was at the heart of that storm. His mother whispered gently in his mind that his brother was coming to free him from these fool ninja that sought to erase him. When his brother arrived he would help him rip this village to the ground.

-Enter the Sandstorm-

Dust and sand swirled around Naruto, kicked up by the speed he was traveling at. The pulses of the One-tail's chakra grew stronger. He could almost see Suna through the cloud of debris. He would stop here. The Shukaku would come to him.

-Suna-

The dust had settled on the horizon and hadn't come any closer. A pulse of chakra, so like his own, swept over him. Ah. He was to go to him, his brother, his family. He took off on a wave of sand. He was the desert; no one could stop him here.

-Naruto-

A wave of sand approached. His brother was coming. It slowed to a stop and a red-haired boy stood in front of him. Around his eyes were rings of black.

"I am the fox. I will continue our task to subdue the humans and put them in their place. Will you help me brother?"

"I am the tanuki. Anything within my power to give is yours brother."

Naruto reached out and grabbed Gaara into a hug. To the younger boy's amazement, the sand made no move to stop this blond boy.

"My name is Naruto. What's yours?"

"Gaara."

"Well Gaara, I think it's time we for us to free you from your captors. Then we'll go find our brothers and sisters."

At Gaara's nod, he began to swirl the Kyuubi's chakra around them and smiled when Shukaku's sand mixed into the malevolent maelstrom of red.

-The Tower of the Kazekage-

The people of Suna began to panic as a red sandstorm approached their gates. There was no way on earth that a monstrosity such as this one could be natural. The Kazekage looked out from his tall tower and what he saw was death bearing down upon him. He just knew that his youngest son had to a part of this and while they were surrounded by this desert there would be no escape. Gaara was the desert because of his greed. There would be no undoing of what had been done now. Gaara on his own he might have stood a chance against, but by the feel of this storm, he was not alone...

-The Streets of Suna-

People were suffocating as sand was forced into their lungs, often dying as it was torn back out through their chests. Others were being torn apart with a ferocity even greater than that seen in the recently destroyed Konoha. Naruto ripped out a jonin's throat with his fangs before watching Gaara crush three civilians with his sand.

"Gaara!" Naruto shouted over the screams, "Where is the Kage of these miserable beings?"

Gaara wiped the blood of his forehead and shouted back:

"The tower! It's to the East!"

"Then we head there! Disorganized ninja are ineffective ninja!"

-The Tower of the Kazekage-

There would be no stopping Gaara and the other demon at this rate. Everything he threw at them they decimated completely. Where had this other character come from and how was he able to control Gaara? The Shukaku had incredible power and wouldn't obey even a kage. Who could have the strength to command such a being as a tailed-beast? Only one with more tails could possibly...

That was it! It had to be another jinchuriki! This revelation did not help the Kazekage for at that moment a tsunami of sand crashed down upon the tower killing him and everyone else inside effectively throwing the village even further into chaos.

-Gaara-

He faced the terrified visages of his biological siblings and he found he couldn't kill them. Despite the bizarre absence of whispers in his mind he knew that his mother would not want him to kill her only other children. Naruto came up behind him and put a hand on his shoulder.

"We do not have to kill everyone Gaara. We can spare them if that is what you wish, but you know that they cannot come with us."

"I can't do it!"

"Then don't. We've done what we came here to do anyway. You're free now. Let's go find our family."

Naruto turned and walked out of the bloodbath that was once a proud ninja village. Gaara gave one last look at his terrified siblings and said two words before leaving them in the remains of the house they had shared all their lives:

"Be free."

-Suna Ruins Two Days Later-

"What the fuck happened here?!" Sasuke exclaimed at seeing the carnage.

"Sasuke, I think it was Naruto." said Sakura quietly beside him.

"There's no way Naruto could have done this alone!"

"He was alone in Konoha."

A new voice spoke up at hearing them.

"Naw. Your boyfriend's right. There were two of them." A boy with brown hair stepped out from behind the wreckage of the crushed Kazekage tower. Sasuke and Sakura both pulled out kunai.

"Now none of that," he said putting his hands in front of him to show he was unarmed. "You two seem to know who's responsible for the destruction of our village. Mind enlightening us?"

Sakura looked down as Sasuke sized this guy up. After determining him not to be a threat he spoke:

"Our teammate had a great demon sealed inside of him by our fourth Hokage to save us from its wrath. We just fucked up and treated him worse than scum. In fact the whole of Konoha did. One day he just started killing everyone in sight. We're the only survivors of the massacre that day and that's only because he left us alive. We've been trying to track him for a week but all we seem to find are bodies."

"So that blond-haired monster was your teammate?" the boy shivered. "I wouldn't keep trying to track them if I were you. That guy was stronger than sin and he's got Gaara with him now."

"Gaara?" Sakura asked.

"Our younger brother," a new voice spoke. Sasuke and Sakura again palmed their weapons. A blond girl went to stand next to the boy. "All our lives we were afraid he'd slaughter us in our sleep but when he had us right in front of him he didn't kill us. Strange how these things play out."

"Why would your brother try and kill you?" asked Sakura. Sasuke just looked away and didn't say anything.

"Our brother's life basically mirrors your teammate's. Our father, the Yondaime Kazekage, sealed the one-tail into him causing him to be unstable and homicidal. I still can't believe he didn't kill us."

Sasuke sighed, defeated.

"Great. Just great. How the hell are we supposed to kill two demons?"

"Good luck with that," said Kankuro, the brown-haired boy. "We're not going to test our luck a second time. You won't even get close, least of all in the desert."

"We've learned to survive in all environments" said Sasuke, completely confident in his skills.

"I don't think you understand," Temari started, "You won't be able to even touch them in the desert."

"Why not?" asked Sasuke suspiciously. Kankuro answered him this time.

"Two reasons for starters: One, our brother doesn't sleep. Ever. Two, Gaara is the desert."

"Your brother is a desert?" Sakura asked, clearly skeptical.

"No, not a desert," said Temari, the blond. "He is the desert. He controls the sand. On a whim he changed the entire landscape around Suna. No one can beat him in the desert. You're better off going home while you can still turn back."

"We have nothing to go back to thanks to Naruto," said Sakura.

None of them had any idea that nine jinchuriki were going to utterly destroy their way of life by bringing an end to the age of ninja.

-End Chapter-

A/N-Sorry about the wait. My parents decided to take my computer away when my English teacher sent home a progress report in the mail. Personally I think they were overreacting. I brought it up to a B by the end of the quarter and I got a 92 on the midterm! Anyway I've had this typed out on my iPhone for about a month, unable to do anything with it. It was pretty dumb on their part seeing as I have unlimited internet access on my phone (which is more like a portable, mini computer) so the only thing I couldn't do was update. For those of you who are reading Team Seven Minus One: I am working on the next chapter but it probably won't be very long since I just got my computer back today. I'm willing to cut a deal with you people, if you stop complaining about how short my chapters are I will try and update more frequently. Say yay or nay people!
