Naruto sighed, walking down the raod to the training grounds.
"Hey! Naruto! You promised you'd play ninja with us!" Konohamarou yelled.
Naruto smiled."Yeah, I remember." Sakura walked by and snickered.
"Naruto, aren't you already a ninja? What are you doing playing ninja?" She mocked.
"Because. I enjoy spending time with Konohamarou and his friends." Naruto said calmly. Sakura blinked a few times, surprised that he didn't get mad.
"Hey, Naruto, who's the ugly hag?" Konohamarou asked. Sakura glared.
"Why you!" Sakura began to chase down Konohamarou, who ran into a tall guy wearing brown.
"Hey, watch where you're going, punk!" He said, picking Konohamarou up by his neck.
"Let. the boy. go." Naruto glared darkly.
"And you're going to make me?" Kankuro asked, chuckling.
"He's not alone." Sasuke said, leaning on a tree branch high in a tree. Naruto smiled.
"Put the him down, Kankuro. This isn't the time, or the place to pick a fight." a red headed boy with green eyes hung from a tree branch. Sasuke jumped a little, but Naruto smiled.
'Gaara.' He met the other boys eyes and lightly, almost unnoticeably, nodded. Kankuro dropepd Konohamarou.
"G-Gaara." he said. "Fine. whatever." Gaara dropped down from his tree.
"We're going." He told his siblings. Naruto tilted his head slightly in the direction of his secret training grounds. Gaara nodded, and then dragged his siblings away. Naruto looked down at Konohmarou.
"Wanna play ninja now? " He said kindly. Konohamarou grinned and strated to drag Naruto the other way.
-Sakura's POV-
Sakura watched as Naruto played with the younger children. She was surprised at how Naruto had reacted. Sure, he had shouted once, but he calmed down almost immidiently. What was changing in Naruto?
-Sasuke's POV-
Sasuke frowned as he looked over his two teammates. His stare settled on Naruto. There was something weird going on with him. The loud mouthed dead last loser that he had known in the academy was slowly morphing into someone else. Sasuke wondered, if Naruto knew Gaara. He seemed to calm down when he saw him.
