I do not own Naruto or its characters.
Weapon Part 1: No Harm What So Ever
Baki stood before the old round table, sweaty palms holding him upright and placed forcefully on the top. The old men and the few women dressed in robes of white and beige were frowning and sharing unsure glances to each other. He had come to the council, making a request after the hawk had arrived with a message from the Hokage of Konohagakure about the successes of the Sand Siblings. He knew he had made a wise choice in sending his students to aid the vllage. It was wise for many reasons politically, personally and economically.
The aid to Konohagakure solidified Suna's alliance to the village and economically opened up further talks of trade between the villages. Suna's rich minerals had proven to be very valuable and Konoha's medical knowledge and schematics for precious advanced irrigation systems and life sustainability for vegetation were incredibly coveted. The Hokage offered to help with this, offering to send builders, engineers, and even some advanced medical ninjas skilled in using plant life for help with adverse affects from sand storms and poisonous animal life.
Suna was a little…behind in that regard. The council was delighted in their own way about the prospects, except the last two, the two that irritated Baki to no end: the offer of creating an ambassador from Konoha to visit Suna and the rather ingenious idea of modeling the Suna academy after the Konoha academy. The last idea had particularly ruffled feathers.
Baki swallowed and coughed. "I would suggest letting my students, the Sand Siblings, teach as instructors for new academy students. They have proved themselves very worthy of doing so."
The oldest councilman rubbed his beard in thought. "The two oldest have proved themselves most valuable and worthy. That request is granted."
"I meant all three siblings. All of my students will be included."
The council quieted in a hush before one of the lone females spoke, a woman with a sliver of red paint down one cheek and hair woven loosely into a topknot. "That is dangerous, Baki-san. We cannot consider it."
All heads nodded in agreement except for one man. The man was among the youngest and held his head to the side, steepling his gloved hands and letting his razor tip hair fall to the side. His dark eyes focused on the ceiling before looking at the wall, a lopsided smirk on his face.
"I say let the young Sabaku No Gaara teach. He has control of the One Tailed Shukaku and has proven his worth just like the others. His incredible strength, calm and use of strategy is something to strive for, a good bar to set for the academy students. I vote yes."
"WHAT?"
Each council member yelled in response.
"Yes, let the young Gaara teach. He may surprise you. I believe the vote has been settled, unless one wants to disagree."
Baki felt his inner self want to smile and slap his old friend on the back. Jai was an old team member, a rather talented shinobi with a wind style yet to be rivaled for someone as young as 35 years old. Jai was rarely argued with by the old council members on many issues, unless they felt they could rebut his answers. Jai proved to be cunning as a wolf and rather smart on matters but even he could be wrong. This time he would not be.
"Its settled then. The three Sand Siblings will assist in teaching the new academy students in the Kohoha-style way. I will give the orders to them and assist in anyway."Baki spoke loudly, daring anyone to argue.
"Also, Baki, do come back. The council will break and decide upon a matter of much importance to you. We will be deciding upon making you a permanent member of the Suna advisory council. Despite these last few matters, the council has agreed in unison that your intelligence and keen eye on matters of defense have proved you to be ready as council member. Return soon."
Baki bowed to the council, letting a small twitch of a smile linger towards Jai, before turning on his heels to relate the news to the Sand Siblings. He was sure this would be a major turning point for his students, soon to be former students. They would do him proud, even if Gaara's behavior the last few months had made him rather uncomfortable. Even Temari and Kankuro looked forlorn and rather like they were walking on eggshells.
Maybe this piece of news would change things for the better. Becoming teachers might brighten them, challenge them and hopefully (he believed deep down) encourage Gaara socially.
Yes, Gaara having a student would be most favorable. The best thing for the growing boy, honestly. I don't see how this could turn out terribly for all the hard work he has put in for controlling Shukaku and working on being good to others. I see no danger, for him or others. Fate is proving to be most positive for the boy.
A/N: Will this prove positive? What will the outcome be and how will it affect Gaara...and even Hinata? Everything is about to change...
Also if they are any errors let me know. I did research on desert landscapes and geography, all of that so I wanted to be accurate.
