Chapter 8: A Plan In Motion
Gaara and his group made it to the Kingdom of the Leaf a few days later. The Forest had been a test, and now the preliminaries would start. Those qualified would gather in the courtyard of the castle, where they would stay for the duration of the tournament. He glanced at the few groups that had made it past. He watched as a loud orange boy from the kingdom stepped up staking his claim. He challenged Shuichi who smirked and accepted as Akira was approached by guards.
Gaara watched as the pair follow the guards away surprising the orange boy.
