+Naruko+

"B-bring him back to life?! Can you really... do that?" I whisper, eyes wide after what granny Chiyo had told me. "This jutsu... is one that only lady Chiyo knows.." Sakura whispers, and for some reason she looks rather sad? WHY YOU B*TCH?! WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO RESSERUECT GAARA!

As she pours strange chakra into him, i see that Granny Chiyo seems  to be in a lot of pain. "D-damn.. not enough.. chakra.." I hear her whisper, and my eyes harden with determination.

I kneel on the other side of gaara and hold my hands out. "My chakra... try using it!" i exclaim, and she looks suprised for a second before nodding. "Place your hands on top of mine.." she says, and i do so, channeling my chakra into her. Then, Chiyo begins to speak...

"In this world of shinobi, made by foolish old people... i'm glad to see that someone such as you exists. My past.. everything i have done has just been one mistake after the other. Still... in my last moments.. i might be able to set things right. Suna... and konoha.. the future.. will surely be differant from the time i have livedd... the unusual gift oif yours which kakashi spoke of..... that gift will surely change the future.... after you become a hokage that is.."

(I see sakura crying?)

"And you, sakura. Next time, instead of risking your life for a dying old woman, protect those important to you. You are... a lot like me... after all, a woman with a great spirit matching men is a rarity indeed.. surely you will become a fantastic shinobi... finally, Naruko. This old woman has something to ask of you. You are the only one who can understand Gaara's suffering.."

(That's so true it hurts)

"Gaara understands you as well. Please... help Gaara for me..."

I close my eyes.

"Gaara! Gaara!" my 5 year old self yells. "GAARA!" "Who is it? Who are you.. calling? Who... me... who am i?" Gaara is crouched on the ground. I put my hand on his shoulder. "Gaara!"

"Gaara!" i whisper softly, as he sits up in shock.
