Whiteicewolf: I do not own Naruto

It had been 4 months since Naruto and the group split up, so let's go see what's happened to them.

Somewhere in Ame

Hinata was currently fighting a woman who had blue hair and had a paper rose in her hair and was wearing a black cloak with red clouds imprinted on it. (It would be very, very sad if you don't know who this is)

"Paper shuriken" she said as the shuriken headed for Hinata

"Water style: Raging Waves" Hinata said as she made the handsigns and a wave of water came out of her mouth effectively knocking the shuriken off path.

The woman then raised both of her arms as paper started to gather around them and started forming a paper chakram, then sent it hurling towards Hinata. Hinata avoided the chakram and started to run away. Then woman then started to follow Hinata and then sent the chakram towards Hinata. Once the paper chakram hit Hinata she dispersed into thousands of pieces of paper.

"A paper clone" the woman said

"Paper shuriken" Hinata said as she launched the shuriken at the woman.

"Water style: Water Trumpet" Hinata said as she finished the handsigns and launched a large jet of water towards Konan, who wasn't quick enough to dodge it.

"Telegram Flash" Hinata said as she slammed her hands on the ground making the lightning travel towards her opponent and since her opponent was drenched with water, and since water is a great conductor for electricity, it's going to hurt.

Once the jutsu hit the woman, the woman burst into pieces of paper.

'Clap, Clap'

Hinata turned around to see the woman without a scratch on her.

"You did well, Hinata" she said as she walked up to Hinata

"Thank you Konan-sensei" Hinata said

"That was great Hinata" Guren said as she ran up to Hinata followed by the others.

"I wasn't that great" Hinata said while lightly blushing

"Don't be so modest" Guren said while giving Hinata a pat on the back

"Guren's right" Kimimaro said while carrying Ranmaru

"I never would have thought in four months that you could take out one of my clones singlehandedly. You have passed my expectations" Konan said making the kids smile at the compliment.

"Thank you Konan sensei" Hinata said

"Are you… are you kids going to leave" Konan asked

"Yeah" Hinata replied

"You kids should get your stuff I'll see you out of Amegakure when you're done" Konan said before dispersing into thousands of paper butterflies.

"I'll never get use to her doing that" Guren said

Later

The group was now on the outskirts of Amegakure and they were all carrying umbrellas to shield themselves from the rain.

"It's almost like its crying" Ranmaru said

"Huh?" the others replied

"It's raining so much it's almost like Amegakure is crying" Ranmaru said

"That's what Pain used to say"

"Konan-sensei" Hinata said as she turned around to see Konan.

"It seems that you kids are ready to leave" Konan said as she surveyed them.

"Konan-sensei where's Pain-sensei" Guren asked

"Yeah, isn't he here" Haku asked

"Pain wasn't able to see you kids off" Konan replied

"That's a shame" Hinata said

"I wonder if he can hear us if we yell" Guren said out loud

"I'm not sure that he would be able to hear you" Konan replied

"PAIN-SENSEI IF YOU CAN HEAR ME! THANK YOU FOR BEING OUR SENSEI!" Hinata yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Do you think he heard that" Hinata asked

"With that loud voice I wouldn't be surprised if they heard you in Iwa" Guren said making Hinata blush

"Um" Yukimaru said while tugging onto Konan's cloak getting her attention.

"What is it Yukimaru" Konan asked. Yukimaru took out a badly made origami rose.

"Ranmaru and I tried making a rose just like yours, we didn't do a good job thou" Yukimaru said while giving it to Konan.

"I" Konan didn't know what to say as she took the flower.

"It's a thank you for the flower you gave us, see" Yukimaru said while taking out a perfect origami flower from his pocket.

"I see" Konan said while looking at the flower in her hand.

"We should get going" Haku said

"Ok" the others said and started to walk away.

"Konan-sensei" hinata said as she looked at her sensei.

"I'm going to be a support that holds a bridge up, too" Hinata said while smiling then ran to catch up with the others.

Konan smiled while watching the receding backs of the children, then dispersed into thousands of paper butterflies.

The paper butterflies started to gather around into a tower and started to form back into Konan. Konan saw an orange haired male sitting on the ledge.

"Pain" Konan said

"I heard her" Pain replied

"You heard what Hinata said" Konan said shocked. Considering the tower was in the middle of Amegakure and the kids were on the outskirts of Amegakure.

"Those kids are strong" Pain said while looking at the rainfall.

"How do you know that" Konan asked

"Remember when we found them" Pain said

Flashback

Hinata, Haku, Guren, Kimimaro, Yukimaru, and Ranmaru had just entered Amegakure.

Cough, cough

"Ranmaru are you okay" Hinata asked

"I'm okay, it was just a tickle in my throat" Ranmaru said while smiling.

"Okay, but tell me if you aren't feeling well, okay" hinata said

"Okay, big sis" Ranmaru said

"Come on, we have to find a place to stay" Haku said

"Okay" the others replied

Later

"You've got be joking, the only hotel here is already full" Guren said

"It's not like we can do anything about it" Kimimaro said

Cough, cough, cough, cough

"Ranmaru, are you really okay you've been coughing a lot" Guren said

"I'm fine, really" Ranmaru said before breaking into a coughing fit.

"No you're not, we have to get you some medicine, first" Hinata said

"I saw a store that sold medicine, but we won't be able to afford it and keep us fed at the same time" Haku said

"I'll go get it. Haku, you stay with Ranmaru, I'll be back" hinata said

"Hinata, you're not thinking of" Guren said

"Don't worry I'll be fine" hinata said before walking away.

"Guren, what's big sis going to do" Yukimaru asked

"It's nothing to worry about Yukimaru" Guren said

Later

"STOP THIEF!" a store owner yelled as he chased a navy haired girl carrying a bottle of medicine. The girl turned a corner, the store owner turned corner as well, but only to be met with an empty alley way.

"That brat must have went the other way" the man said before running off. Hinata was on the other side of the wall clutching onto the bottle of medicine in her hands.

I have to get this medicine to Ranmaru quickly, Hinata thought before running off to find the others.

Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough

This isn't good he's burning up" Haku said as he felt Ranmaru's forehead

"I found you" Hinata said as she ran up to them while holding the bottle of medicine.

"What do you think you're doing"

Hinata turned around to see a blue haired woman wearing a black cloak with red clouds on it.

"We don't allow thieves to steal things and get away with it, in Amegakure" the woman said

"I'm not going to let you hurt them!" Hinata said and then took a kunai out of her jacket. That was then the woman noticed the group of kids behind the girl.

Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough

"Ranmaru!" Hinata said and then ran up to him.

"Drink this, it's the medicine" Hinata said while opening the bottle for Ranmaru to drink

"He's burning up, even more" Haku said as he touched Ranmaru's forehead. Hinata then started to bring the mouth of the bottle to Ranmaru to drink.

She only stole, the medicine to help the little boy, Konan thought

"Good he drank the medicine" Hinata said

"But we can't keep him here, in the rain, it's just going to make him sick again" Kimimaro said.

"Well, what are we supposed to do, we don't have anywhere to stay" Guren said

"Come with me" the woman said

"Why should we" Kimimaro asked

"I'll be able to provide you kids some shelter, food and at least some medical attention, in case your little friend get's sick again" she said

"Should we go with her" Guren asked

"I think we should" Yukimaru said

"Why?" Guren asked

"She seems like a good person and besides think about Ranmaru" Yukimaru said

"Are you coming, or not" the woman asked

"We don't have any other choice, come on, let's go" hinata said while picking up Ranmaru and started to follow the woman along with the others

"Um miss, what is your name" Yukimaru asked

"Konan" she said

Later

Konan led the kids into a tower.

"Konan, who are the kids" the kids turned around to see the source of the voice to be an orange haired man with numerous piercings in his face and was wearing the same cloak Konan was wearing.

"Pain" Konan said

"I'll talk to you later" Pain said and then walked off.

"We didn't get you in trouble did we" Hinata asked

"No, you didn't I'm going to go talk to Pain, you kids stay here, okay" konan said

"Ok" the kids answered as Konan left to talk to Pain.

"Pain" Konan said as she walked up to him.

"Konan who are the kids" Pain asked

"They're the people that you sensed entered Amegakure a while ago" Konan answered

"So why are they here" Pain asked

"It's because I brought them here" Konan replied

"Why?" he asked

"Pain, I want to teach them" Konan said

"What! Why?" Pain answered

"They remind me of us when we were kids, Nagato" Konan said

"Konan" Pain said

"Let me teach them until they know how to defend themselves just like Jiraiya-sensei did with us" Konan pleaded

"Fine" Pain answered

"I'll even help" Pain added

"Really" Konan said

"Come on let's go tell them" Pain said

"Sure" Konan said

End flashback

"I hope that they're going to be alright on their own" Konan said

"Have faith in them Konan" Pain said

"I know" Konan said

Back with hinata and the others

"Big sis what did you say to Konan-sensei" Yukimaru asked

"I just wanted to thank her" Hinata said

"Oh" Yukimaru said

"Come on it's only a couple more miles until we reach the next town" Hinata said

I wonder how Naruto is doing, Hinata thought

Somewhere in Kumogakure

Naruto was currently in a taijutsu match with Fu, but the most interesting thing was that both Naruto and Fu were covered in chakra. Naruto was covered in red chakra that formed one tail and Fu was in the same state.

Naruto sent a kick towards Fu who quickly dodged it and sent a punch towards Naruto's face but was evaded. Naruto then sent a punch towards Fu, who wasn't able to dodge it in time, was hit in her stomach causing her to move back.

Now's my chance! Naruto thought and then started and started to attack again.

"Lariat!" Naruto yelled as he ran towards Fu effectively knocking her out with the lariat.

"YEAH I WON!" Naruto yelled celebrating his victory

"Naruto, you know you shouldn't brag about winning"

"Aw, come on Gaara" Naruto wined as Gaara help Fu get up

"That was an awesome fight, because you used all of your might" a voice said only for the user of the voice to receive a slap on the back of the head by another person.

"We don't need to listen to your horrible rapping" the person said

"Yugito-sensei you know that Killer Bee-sensei always raps, there's no stopping it" Gaara said

"I know, but still" Yugito said

"Now that we're finished training with you bunch, let's go have some lunch" Killer Bee said only to be scolded by Yugito, again.

After lunch

"So you kids are going to be leaving" Yugito said

"Yeah" Fu answered.

"You know you could always live in Kumo with us" Yugito said

"That's really kind of you to offer, but there are some people that we promised to meet again" Fu said

"The people that's precious to you, right" Yugito said

"Yeah" Fu said

"I'm going to miss you kids" Yugito said

"We're going to miss you too" Gaara said

"Gaara, you finished saying goodbye to Killer Bee- sensei" Fu asked

"Yeah, Naruto's saying goodbye to him right now" Gaara motioned towards where Naruto and Killer Bee were.

"I'M GOING TO MISS YOU SENSEI!" Naruto cried

"I'M GOING TO MISS YOU TOO! YO!" Killer Bee cried

"…" was the others reactions

That's just weird, Fu and Yugito thought

…, Gaara thought

"Okay break it up you two" Yugito said

"I'm sorry. Thank you Yugito-sensei Killer Bee-sensei, for training us these past four months" Naruto said formally

I've never seen Naruto act so formal, now this is starting to creep me out, Fu thought

"Anyway, it's time for us to get going" Fu said

"Bye Yugito-sensei, Killer Bee-sensei" the three said before leaving with Yugito and Bee waving goodbye

"I know those kids are going to be strong as killers, but I can't help but see that Naruto looks kind of similar" Killer Bee rapped

"Similar to who?" Yugito asked restraining herself from hitting Killer Bee

"I don't know" Killer Bee said and received a punch to the head

"THEN WHY DID YOU EVEN MENTION IT!" Yugito yelled

"I just felt like it. YO!" Killer Bee said only to receive a beating from Yugito.

"This sucks the only female I can talk to is gone and I'm stuck with bad rapper" Yugito said

"That's cruel. YO!" an almost dead Killer Bee managed to say.

"I miss those kids already" Yugito said

With Naruto, Gaara, and Fu

"Ah-choo!" they all sneezed

"That's weird" Gaara said and took out a tissue to wipe his nose, then offered a tissue to the others.

"You think we're catching a cold" Fu asked as she took a tissue and wiped her nose

"I highly doubt that, jinchuriki don't get sick because of their Biju. So someone must be talking about us" Naruto said as he took a tissue

"You still believe that" Gaara asked

"Of course, I mean how else do you explain our sneezing" Naruto said

"I'll believe that once Killer Bee-sensei actually makes a good rap" Fu said

With Killer Bee and Yugito

"Ah-choo" Killer Bee sneezed

"You okay" Yugito asked

"Someone must be talking about me. IT'S PROBABLY ABOUT MY AWESOME RAPPING! YO!" Killer Bee exclaimed

"The person who actually likes your horrible rapping, must be delusional" Yugito mumbled

"You say something" Bee asked

"Come on let's keep on training" Yugito said

Back with Naruto, Gaara, and Fu

"I still can't believe that you mastered three out of the five elements" Fu said

"I was lucky that Killer Bee had a lightning type chakra and that he was kind enough to teach me" Naruto said

"You didn't have a problem bugging Zabuza to teach you about water chakra" Fu said

"It's because he didn't believe me!" Naruto said

"I wouldn't have believed you either" Fu mumbled

"Anyway, there's a town a couple miles ahead, so let's hurry before it gets dark" Gaara said

"Okay" Fu and Naruto replied

Later

Naruto, Gaara, and Fu were currently residing in a hotel room.

"I'm going to bed" Fu said

"Goodnight" Gaara and Naruto said

"Naruto you should go to sleep too" Gaara said

"It's okay Gaara, I'm going to stay up for a little more" Naruto said before going to back to what he was reading

"But you're staying up because you're trying to work on the seal" Gaara said

"Gaara, I told you this many times already, we're family, and I promised you that I was going to make a seal, to make sure that you can sleep. So it's not your fault, it's my choice" Naruto said

"It's just that" Gaara said

"You've never had someone truly care about you, before, right" Naruto finished

"Yeah" Gaara answered

"I know my childhood wasn't as bad as yours, but ours are similar. We were both shunned and hated because of what we had inside of us, but I had the hokage look after me and there was the old man from the ramen shop and his daughter. You didn't have anybody there for you, but we're family Gaara, we'll always be there for each other" Naruto said

"Thanks Naruto" Gaara said, then heard Naruto yawn.

"I guess I should go to sleep. See you in the morning Gaara" Naruto said and then went to sleep.

I wonder if this is what it's like to be loved, Gaara thought to himself as he looked at the moon.

Whiteicewolf: Here's the chapter you guys have all been waiting for. I know I did not put in the part how Naruto, Gaara, and Fu met Killer Bee and Yugito, because I'm going to tell you guys later. Anyway there have been some people that wanted others to join, so if you want anyone else to join I am taking suggestions. REVIEW!
