Chapter 8
Uneasy Alliance, Gaara and Naruto
"talking"
'thinking'
-Change POV-
Naruto walked up the path to the training area hidden on top of the hokage monument's mountain. Gaara was already there, looking out over the village. Naruto sat next to him. "So, you're here for the chunin exams?" Naruto asked nonchalantly.
"Yes.. among other things..." Gaara said. "Why do you love this village? They aren't as strong... In fact, it's pretty worthless." He said, glaring at it.
Naruto shook his head and chuckled. "Gaara. Not all of us are like you, wanting to kill everything in our path. Just because you view your village... and all human life, except us because she can kick your ass, as pointless, doesn't mean we do too. This village is important to me. I don't know why.. It just is." He said, smiling at the village. Gaara shrugged. Naruto was right. He didn't view human life as important. Naruto and the others in his group really were only safe because she was strong enough to knock him out every time he tried to kill one of them. Gaara stood up.
"... I'm supposed to be back by now. Temari and Kankuro will start to think I went on a killing spree." He said, leaving. Naruto shrugged and continued to look at the village. He really cared about it, and everything that went on there. He sighed, and took out paper. He wrote a note, pointing out that Gaara was there, and that Gaara seemed to know something, and that he didn't quite trust Gaara to not wipe out out his village, and asking for back up, just in case. He tied the note to a hawk, and sent it off. Then he started walking down the path. Kakashi had wanted to the group to meet at Ichikarou's for a nice dinner together, and Naruto wanted to grab a couple of sushi plates to go, just in case Sasuke and Sakura didn't feel ramen-y... He chuckled. His 'team' really was getting to him.
[Sasuke's POV
Sasuke was watching Naruto at Ichikarou's. Not that he really wanted to, there was plenty of other people to watch. But Naruto always seemed to get unnerved by the staring Uchiha. On the inside, Sasuke found this hilarious. On the outside, he cared more about his ramen. Sasuke had relaxed, but he was starting to wonder if he had just been imaging Naruto's sparks of calmness and reserve. Naruto was currently yelling at Kakashi for reading his porn at the dinner table, regardless of the fact that they were eating at the ramen counter, and making himself seem more like a dobe. Sasuke sighed. Tomorrow was the chunin exams. He looked at his teammates. They better how up. Even if Naruto is a useless moron.
