Chibi: Here is chapter 6 of Konoha's Treasure and I hope ya'll enjoy! The two songs 'Low' by Flo Rida feat. T-Pain, and 'Wake Up Call' by Maroon 5 inspired this chapter and I've been waiting a LONG time to write it. I'm also sorry it took me so long to update!

THE DAY OF
Once again, Tenten beat Kankuro to the shower. But this time, it was 7:00 at night.
"Tenten hurry up." Kankuro groaned. She opened up the door, once again, only covered by a small fluffy hotel towel.
"Calm down!" She patted him on the arm before venturing off towards the beds. "I'll be in the others room by the time you get out." she alerted him.
"Got it." Kankuro entered the bathroom to start his own shower.
Tenten dressed in the attire she had bought at the little store yesterday, white skinny jeans, red v-neck, white vest, and her own black flats and silver hoop earrings. She pulled a large black trench coat over it to conceal all of herself, and headed over to the next room.
Shikamaru noticed the large trench. "You'll definitely get noticed in that." he grumbled.
"I have something underneath." Tenten whacked him on the arm. "So Gaara, your sister said she had the little area in your home back at Suna set up so we can test it there?" she clarified.
"Yep." Gaara answered, pulling on a blue janitors outfit over his brown button down t-shirt, jeans, and vans, and then putting on the guards badge that Shikamaru had mucked with so that it had his own info on it.
At that moment Kankuro walked in, a large jacket over his clothing as well.
"That was fast." Tenten watched him, raising an eyebrow.
"I don't take eternity in the shower, unlike you." Kankuro grumbled.
"If I took eternity, you'd never get the chance to shower." Tenten pointed out.
"Whatever." Kankuro grumbled. "Are we gonna do this or not?" he asked everyone.
Shikamaru sighed. "Let's go then. Neji and Sakura are probably gonna be there too. It's the perfect night to strike."
In the midst of the night, no one noticed the dark van pull up near the Hokage tower. No one needed to. Cars were coming by the dozens, so what was special about this one? Three shady figures emerged from the van. One headed around back, the two others walked right up to the entrance.
Once inside the party Tenten and Kankuro walked around to the dance floor, feeling eyes lingering on their shady attire."
Gaara got a code from Shikamaru to unlock a pad key door, and entered, passing through security like all other janitors and guards on duty. Once through that, he made a beeline to the mens restroom, and locked the door behind him. He pulled off the janitors suit and stuffed it in the trashcan along with all the other little nick nacks and such that went along with it.
"How do you look?" Shikamaru asked through the earpiece.
"Fine." Gaara replied, running a hand through his messy red hair, and then unlocking the door and leaving. He headed down to the dance floor where he noticed Ino Yamanaka making some small talk with the Third Hokage's Grandson Konohamaru. He noticed Konohamaru leaving and grabbed to cups of soda, one for him, one for Ino, and made his way over.
"Ino san." He greeted, his eyes lingering on her for a moment before offering her the drink.
"Hiroshi kun." She accepted the drink and sipped daintily from it.
"How are you enjoying the party?" Gaara asked before discreetly looked around and saw Tenten and Kankuro in the middle of the dancefloor. "Now Shikamaru." he mumbled under his breath so that only Shikamaru could hear him in the little microphone attatched to him.
"Got it." Was Sasuke's voice on the other end.
Gaara smirked, listening to Ino's reply on how much she loved Konoha. He partly wanted to just watch what would happen next, he knew it would be interesting because both Kankuro and Tenten didn't exactly favor each other, and yet they had to make such a big commotion. He could hear the typing on the other end as Shika hacked into the DJ's laptop and chose the song next. 'Low.'
Kankuro and Tenten heard their cue, and so did everyone else in the dance floor. Their cue was a song. Both pulled off the coats, revealing their better chosen attire and began dancing as planned. Closely, and noticeably.
"Hiroshi kun? This is my friend Konohamaru..." Ino let the two males shake hands.
Gaara smirked at their dancing and noticed Konohamaru next to Ino now, offering her an iced tea. "Oh!" Gaara set his hand under the drink in Ino's hand. "I'll take that, so you can have the iced tea." he slipped it out of the girls hand, and she accepted the drink from the other boy.
Ino smiled warmly. "It was nice seeing you again Hiroshi kun, and thank you for the kunai." she thanked him for the gift that she had received earlier.
"No problem." Gaara shrugged. "I...ah...gotta go." he rushed off, letting Ino and Konohamaru finally notice that a circle was being formed around two particular dancers in the middle of the dance floor. He entered the mens' restroom once more, dumped Ino's soda, went into the large stall with the changing room in it locking the door behind him, pulled down the table, and pulled out a tiny ziplock bag, sticking the empty cup inside along with some other chemicals.
"Is it working?" Shikamaru asked.
"We'll see." Gaara answered rather quickly. He waited, watching the baggie with interest. "Shikamaru..." he started.
"Yeah?"
"It's working." he replied, watching fingerprints show up on the clear cup.
"Good."
Gaara pulled out the thumb part of a plastic glove, put it on, and opened the bag, finding the thumb print on the cup and pressing the gloved thumb onto it. When done, he collected the items and threw them away, then hurried out of the restroom and down the hall, away from the party...
A large clank wasn't heard up above where the party was taking place. Something cut through the wall, and a strong kick allowed the people that had made the cut, pass through. This consisted of Neji, Sakura, and three other males. A mysterious, black haired one with sunglasses concealing his eyes and a collar concealing most of his face, Shino Aburame. A brunette, with red stripes on either cheek, Kiba Inuzuka. Lastly, a large, brunette, with swirls on either cheek, Chouji Akimichi. The five ran down the hall quickly and destroyed anything on their path. As Shino killed a guard and moved him so that his thumbprint was on the pad, to allow the five to enter, Gaara used Ino's thumb print from the glass on a different scanner at a different part of the building.
Gaara stepped into the elevator. "Ready Shikamaru?" but it was Sasuke who answered.
"Sabaku no Gaara, you are now the invisible man, go ahead."
Gaara stepped out of the elevator, knowing that the guards in the surveillance room were being fed replays, and slunk down the hall to a door, where a keyboard popped out. He shined a light. "The letters are N, O, K, A, and H." he mumbled.
"Okay." Sasuke replied.
"The top results are..."Shikamaru started. "KANOH, NOHKA, HONAK, NO HAK, ANOKH, HA KON, OK NAH..." he scrolled down to read more.
"It's Konoha." Gaara stated.
"I don't have that." Shikamaru told him.
"I'm pressing the O twice." Gaara tapped in the word and hit enter, closing his eyes, pleading that the computer wouldn't reject his code. He opened them, to read the words, ACCESS GRANTED. The door opened, revealing the Creed of the Five, in the large case, in the middle of the room. "Bingo."
Kankuro and Tenten were still the big commotion on the dance floor, most of the people just standing around watching them. Oddly, after 'Wake Up Call' had finished, the song to follow was 'Bubbly.' Kankuro glanced at Tenten, his eyes on her, but hearing people shuffle around to find partners for the slow dance.
"May I?" He asked, holding out a hand.
"I guess so." Tenten replied, slipping her hand in his for a moment, before running them up around his neck as the two swayed to the beat. The two began pointless small talk.
Gaara began sending the sand at the bolts, scrambling to unscrew them in a hurry.
"Calm down Gaara, you have all the time in the world." Sasuke told him calmly. For no given reason, Sasuke was thrown out of his seat by Shikamaru, who was rapidly typing in codes.
"Gaara get out of there now." Shikamaru demanded flatly.
"Why..."Gaara asked, screwing out the second bolt.
"I lost my feed." Shikamaru answered.
Shino had hacked with his control of bugs into the surveillance camera's, cutting off all the feed, thus, also cutting off Shikamaru's. Sakura, Neji, Chouji, and Kiba moved in.
Gaara heard faint noises and grabbed the entire case, running out the door.
"Gaara what did you do? Are you getting out of there?" He couldn't tell if it was Sasuke or Shikamaru. His heart was beating rapidly as he heard the crunching sound of wood and a shout from a female. He turned his head slightly to see the two from the first night he had met Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Tenten. But the two were accompanied with three other men.
"Shit!" Gaara ran to the elevator and pressed the little button rapidly, shielding himself with the bulletproof case.
"What shit? Is Neji and Sakura there?" Shikamaru asked.
"Yeah!" Finally the door opened, and the shooting began. Neji and Sakura fired at Gaara, and Neji began running down the long hall at Gaara. Gaara got in the elevator and pressed the floor he wanted and the close button. Luckily the door closed in time, locking Neji, Sakura, and the other three, out. He quickly unbolted the rest and rolled it up, hiding it in his shirt. "I got it." he whispered.
A few guards entered the room that Gaara had been in a few moments ago and were shocked to see the Creed of the Five not there.
Gaara ran down the hall and noticed Yamanaka san heading towards him. He hid inside a room, and then when the coast was clear, headed out.
Tenten and Kankuro were still dancing with each other, having gotten to know each other more. They found themselves stopping, and their faces moved closer to each other. Their lips were only an inch apart when...
"Tenten! Kankuro! Get out of there now! We're waiting out front." Sasuke spoke. The couple didn't end up kissing, but instead, ran out of the building into the van.
Ino headed over to Hinata Hyuuga, the girl who had the guest list. "Um...is there a Ukabas, Hiroshi on your list?" she asked.
Hinata flipped the page. "Uh...no...sorry Ino san."
Ino cussed under her breath, and saw a flash of red hair run down the hall. She ran after it.
Gaara made his way out to the van when he heard Yamanaka san behind him.
"Hiroshi!?" Ino called out, using the fake name.
"Yes?" Gaara faced her, holding a rolled up poster behind his back.
"What were you doing here?" Ino asked suspiciously.
"I'm getting inside the van." Gaara spoke calmly. It might've worked...if the alarm hadn't gone off.
