Arashi no Sunagakure= Storm of the Village Hidden in the Sand

The wire snapped as Gaara slammed his hands into the sand. The Gourd erupted and flew with astonishing pace towards the chasm where his ward had just dropped over the edge.

Temari stared she hadn't done this sort of mission before, she sank to her knees. "I just let someone who I was following commit suicide." "Neechan..." Gaara's voice brought her back and tear filled teal eyes looked at the haunted ones.

"Hai, otuo-sama?" She questioned standing up.

"He's alive...Shukaku was screaming at me to save him. Get the noose off his neck." Gaara ordered.

Temari nodded, pulled out a kunai and sliced through the ninja wire near the noose before pulling the now shredded loop of the man's neck. The man coughed and spluttered, Temari stared calmly back into wrath filled eyes. "Calm down...Why were you trying to kill yourself?"

Harry snorted but said nothing to the girl, but turned when he heard the quiet voice of the Kazekage. "It's hard isn't it? To have friends, people to see you as family and all of it to be ripped away from you? I sympathise with you for being made an orphan from birth and having your entire life being raised as martyr."

Harry said nothing but nodded "It's like..." The Kazekage began.

"Your heart has been ripped out." They both said together one with a voice that was tinged with regret and the other tinged with tears unwilling to fall.

"How do you know so much about me? You barely know me." Harry said curiosity filling his voice, his trench coat fluttering in the breeze of the cool night.

"My father the previous Kazekage made me a jinchuriki, an army killer, the ultimate weapon of the village I now lead. He sealed the beast when I was still inside my mother, the stress forced me to be born far too early and it claimed my mother. The moment I turned six, my father sent assassins after me trying to kill me. All failed. I was shunned, repulsed and feared by everyone."

"That was until, Uzumaki-san opened your eyes." Harry commented making Gaara's eyes narrow.

"How did you..."

"Know? Please when Shinigami showed you my life, I saw yours. So who is Uzumaki Naruto?" Harry flicked his gloved hand and out of the desert raised several smooth onyx stones. With several more complex gestures the stones slowly moulded into chairs.

"I'll explain more about my skills later." Harry stated.

"Uzumaki Naruto, he's special. He too is like me a jinchuriki but he never succumbed to the fear at least externally. He told me when I believed that strength came from self-love that strength came from those who cared about you and you cared about. He was right, I was the most powerful genin in my village and he was the dead last in his. I changed my ways and his dream became my dream, his was to become the Hokage of his village and mine became to protect my people as the Kazekage. I can't give you a lot of things Harry-san. But I can give hopefully give you training, home, regular income, food and clothing...Should you choose to become a shinobi or a ninja as I believe you know them as your life will be constant peril, you'll see great wonders and great evil, you will kill, lie, cheat, thieve, steal, assassinate, interrogate and much more but it'll give you a purpose."

Harry sat in thought "You have always known that your purpose/destiny/fate was to kill Tom Riddle. You didn't expect to survive the conflict but you did and you were betrayed. This tortured soul is just like you, been beaten, cast down, broken but reforged himself. You yourself have been beaten, bent, cast down, unbound, betrayed and just cracked with your suicide attempt. Don't be an idiot, join them. Live your life and who knows maybe you'll find love, the Kazekage's sister seems to like you." "A life with danger, threat and adventure, am I right?"

"Yes." The girl answered.

"When do I begin Lord Gaara?"

Gaara and Temari stared "I haven't seen anyone so reckless to sign up before."

"I haven't been known to have much thought for self-preservation. But I do have a unique set of skills at my disposal so give me what-ever training you think I'll need plus I'm going to need a new identity." Harry said a grin gracing his pale face.

"Why is that?" Asked the girl curiously, he would have no problems keeping his real name since no-one had heard of him.

"I feel alive again. You've probably told me your name before but I wasn't in the right mind to hear it but what was it?"

"It's Temari. Sabaku Temari."

"Temari Sabaku, a beautiful name for a beautiful woman. well the Temari where do we begin?"

"Sleep...You need it. You probably haven't had a natural eight hours since you've been released from the hospital and your latest escapade."

Harry woke with the rising sun, to find Temari and curled up on his bed. "Temari-san, what are you doing?"

Temari stirred "Nightmare, thrashing and twitching. Calmed down when I joined you, now stay still."

"We need to start training…It's seven am." Harry said with a whisper. He hadn't seen anyone move that fast since he was shoved to the Hogwarts Express in his fourth year.

The pair were out on the training grounds by half seven which surprised Temari, she hadn't seen anyone with such an intuitive grasp of their chakra since Kankuro had started investing time into puppetry, and he was one of the best that Suna had.

"We are starting with chakra control exercises. Controlling chakra means you can use more jutsu, last longer in combat and keep your life because lack of control can mean death." Temari explained in a blunt manner, deciding that to gain her protégé's trust and little brothers personal interesting person, she needed to give him straight answers.

"Controlling chakra means I live longer and more useful. Understood, am I walking up trees with no hands then or on the sand dunes?"

Temari stared at him eyes wide "How did you guess?" Her protégé shrugged.

"Yes that is what you're doing."

'Surprise me once shame on you, Surprise me twice shame on me.' Was Temari's thought process, Harry had amazed her by not only stepping off the hardened sand path leading out of the village and into the unstable sands around Suna that should have gone over her sensei's head and he was 6'3 but remained perfectly on top of the dunes.

"I want you to run as fast as you can towards that Oasis three miles from here and back as fast as you can."

Harry smirked, stretched, crouched and set off with a bang. He looked like a wraith flittering across the sands. 'Speed needs to be worked on. I'd be halfway there by now. It's taken him fifty seconds to cover half that distance but it is still quicker than most genin including Kankuro.' Temari opened her fan and pulled out several kunai and shuriken.

"FUTON: KAZEKIRI NO JUTSU!" Temari smirked as the massive blades of wind sent the flying kunai and shuriken at an increased pace. To make the matter worse, said projectiles were cut to pieces thus multiplying their attack radius.

Harry cackled madly and increasing the amount of chakra to his feet and legs, he began to dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge. He arrived back next to Temari a thin sheen of sweat on his face but no evident marks of any scars or scratches.

"Okay, we're going to run as fast as we can to the Oasis where we move onto the next bit chakra control, water walking and tree walking." The exercises were pretty much the same in Harry's opinion. The moment he got more than three feet off the ground, Harry was completely relaxed soon enough he was doing backflips, cartwheels and handstands. He even managed to catch and return with deadly force and pinpoint accuracy on the move and stationary Temari's kunai and shuriken.

From his 'Desert seeing eyes', that allowed him to observe his village whilst he did his paperwork, Gaara grinned. Harry had taken to chakra control like a bird to flight. "It appears Temari is going to have to take him on D-rank missions and teach him aspects of team work. I wonder…yes that could work." "Kankuro!" Gaara rasped and the boys elder brother appeared, arms of a puppet in hand.

"You called?" Questioned the Eldest Sabaku son curiosity evident in his voice along with a bit of apprehension because of the previous night's events.

"Find Matsuri-chan, send her to my office."

Kankuro nodded and dissolved into a swirl of sand, off to find Gaara's apprentice, the only other person in the village to have the magnet release.

Harry took a swig from his water bottle and he collapsed in the shade of the palm tree in the oasis, Temari collapsing next to him. "You are some sort of prodigy when it comes to practical. I need to know is there anything you cannot achieve."

"Get a date, keep said girlfriend oh and die." Her apprentice replied nonchalantly.

"Please, don't talk of that. You have an unbelievable control over your chakra for someone who has only just unlocked it. We need to develop or jutsu or technique arsenal, find two team mates." Temari rattled off the temperature dropped at the term 'team mates'.

"I need to work with PEOPLE! I work better alone." Protested Harry but he shut up when Temari took a breath.

"It is policy of Suna, for all genin which is your current rank to be put in teams of three under a jonin-sensei such as myself. The chances are it would be someone completely different to me because the sensei needs to spend his time equally…"

"I know how that works. I taught several of my betrayers myself. Still who are going to be my team mates?"

A flurry of sand appeared and Kankuro and a girl Harry hadn't met before arrived. "You wished to see me Temari-sama?" The girl asked before Temari turned to face him.

"Harry, this is Matsuri my brother's apprentice so to speak and…"

"One my new team mates, understood. Though she don't look like much." Harry replied dryly, coming out of his meditation to keep himself from strangling the new comer.

"You've got a chirpy apprentice. What's crawled up his ass and died?" Asked Matsuri shrugging off the blasé insult about her being scrawny midget.

"How about the fact my whole life has been destroyed a few people and Shinigami-san doesn't want me yet." Harry cut in the ground beginning to freeze.

The three Suna Shinobi looked at the dark haired teen "You seem unconcerned by death."

Harry snorted "Death is the next adventure supposedly. Matsuri, if we are going to be on a team we may as well try to get to know each other."

Temari stared, Harry was a walking contradiction to most people but to herself and Gaara, it was plain as day. He was worried about exposing himself to potential betrayals, Temari knew he would commit suicide should anyone hurt him that badly again.

"Harry-san, do you know any jutsu?" Asked Matsuri tentatively, not wanting to anger her new brooding teammate.

"I have got all the chakra control exercises down pat, no jutsu save for my Kekkei Genkai which has changed with my rather hasty departure from life attempt." Harry replied when Kankuro thrust a piece of card into his face.

"Chakra litmus paper, push chakra into it and it reveals your natural affinities."

Harry nodded, from Temari's memories of the academy and his own brief experience he remembered the elemental cycle. "Enlarge!" He called out and the paper expanded into an A2 sheet of paper.

Harry took a deep breath and focused his considerable levels into the paper. The flashed black, then white and then grey before rapidly shredding into millions of fragments. Water immediately began dripping from the fragments as some froze and then crumpled as lightning coursed through it before they began to disintegrate as lasers ripped through it. Finally massive thunderstorms destroyed the remains of the paper.

"Kami! A hachiton release!" Whispered Temari looking at her rattled brother and students.

"What does this mean?"
