The Waiting Game

Temari and Sakura were able to quickly locate Gaara and Kankuro, who were suprised to see the latter, and they went back to the Subaku's house. Currently, Sakura and the other three sat in the living room.

"First of all Sakura, what are you doing in Suna?" Kankuro asked Sakura curiously.

"Well, it's a really long story. Naruto, Sasuke, and I left Konoha to go train and we all ended up separating. Naruto is training with the sannin Jiraiya. Sasuke was training with Orochimaru, but he's not anymore, and I came to Suna to train under Sasori." Sakura explained.

"Sasori as in Sasori Akasuna?" Kankuro asked curiously with a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

"Yes." Sakura responded. "I've been training with him for awhile now. But he left for a mission and will be gone for around a month or so. So lately I've been staying with Chiyo. But anyways, how have you been? It's been forever since I last saw you!"

"We've been fine.  It's nice to see you again Sakura." Gaara nodded to her.  Temari nodded in agreement. 

"Thanks.  But Temari, why don't you like that Furai guy?  Like I get that he's a big flirt and all, and he seems like a total- okay never mind I get it."  Sakura stated.  Temari scowled at the mention of Furai. 

"His ego is about as big as all the five nations combined.  It only got bigger when his dad was announced as the future Kazekage." Temari began.

"You see, the counsel had narrowed it down to two possible Kazekages. Our dad and Furai's dad. Now have you ever heard about the Tsuyois?" Kankuro asked.  "They aren't any good.  Of course the elders don't know that.  Teki, Furai's dad, he was born in Suna, but grew up in Otogakure.  He came back to Suna years later and had Furai." 

"Why did he leave to Otogakure?"  Sakura asked. 

"Not a lot of people know.  Otogakure is split into two parts.  There's the shady part, and the good part.  Everyone here, even the elders, believe he lived in the good part of Otogakure."  Kankuro explained.

"But?" Sakura asked.  

"He didn't." Gaara said.  "He grew up in bad circumstances, and he joined a rouge gang."

"So Teki's done bad things and was a part of a rouge group." Sakura summarized.  "How come it's not on his record?"

"They have a good way of hiding things.  The Otogakure record keeper lives on their side of town, so he's not hard for him to convince." Temari stated.  

"How do you know all of this?" Sakura asked.  

"Our dad, he went on a mission with our uncle down there.  They were undercover for a couple months. " Kankuro explained.  Sakura nodded.  "We believe that, Teki only got the place of Kazekage over our dad because he has an influence on the counsel.  He obviously has to if they don't know about his past."  

"Are you going to try and do anything about it?" Sakura asked.  Temari shook her head.

"We can't.  If we do something bad it reflects on our father's image.  If we did do something and Teki wasn't going to be Kazekage because of it anymore, it would give our dad a bad look, and he might not be named Kazekage."  

"So you just play the waiting game?" Sakura asked.

"Yes.  The waiting game." Gaara confirmed.

Sasuke didn't know what to do.  He had about three seconds, that it would take for Kakashi to finally turn around, to hide.  But did he really want that?  

One

Kakashi was his sensei.  He wouldn't turn him in.  Kakashi would let Sasuke explain first.  He would understand.  Right?

Two

Sasuke stole a quick glance at Bee, and then at A.  Then to Kakashi, who was now beginning to move the slightest bit.  There was no point in trying to hide now.  Kakashi would catch it.  Even with one eye, the copy cat ninja was still very observant.

Three

Time went back to normal for Sasuke.  Kakashi turned around completely.  His eyes first looking at Bee before slowly moving over to Sasuke.  Sasuke saw the repressed shock on Kakashi's face.  He saw the gears turning in Kakashi's head.  If Sasuke was right, Kakashi didn't want to make a scene.  

"It's nice to see you Sasuke." Kakashi said with a genuine closed eye smile.  

"Bee can you wait just another minute.  Kakashi and I were just finishing up." A asked giving Bee a look.  

"It's alright Raikage-sama." Kakashi claimed.  "I believe that what they have to tell you must be urgent, or they wouldn't have interrupted.  I'll be in the village for a couple more days.  We can finish up later." Kakashi said calmly.  The Raikage nodded.  

"Alright then Kakashi.  I'll summon for you later." Kakashi nodded and stood up.  "Bee!  Come in and explain your matter!"  Sasuke looked up at Kakashi, and then at Bee.  Bee gave Sasuke a smirk.  

"Yo dude I got this.  You go with your sensei yo." Sasuke nodded .  When Kakashi began walking out, Sasuke followed.  Once they were out of the Raikage's tower and onto the street, Kakashi turned to Sasuke.  Sasuke looked at Kakashi nervously, trying to figure out what Kakashi would do, but he came up blank.  

"Sasuke," Kakashi began, "are you okay?" Sasuke's eyes widened and he looked at Kakashi to see that Kakashi was being genuine.  He didn't find any traces of anger or disappointment in Kakashi's features.  

"Yeah.  I'm fine sensei." Sasuke claimed.    

"Your mother and brother miss you Sasuke." Kakashi reminded him.  "We all do.  We miss you, and Naruto and Sakura."  Kakashi paused.  "But they aren't with you are they?"  

"How did you know?" Sasuke asked curiously.  Kakashi gave him a closed eye smile.  

"If they were here with you then Naruto would have either been with us or in the ramen stall we just passed.  Sakura, would be with one of you two." Kakashi chuckled and Sasuke smirked.  

"It's nice to see you sensei."  Sasuke claimed.  "I think I speak for the three of us when I say that I regretted leaving without giving you an explanation.  It wasn't a long thought of decision."  

"Well, Lord Hokage has done some digging as to why you three might have left.  We are certain we know why you left.  Itachi even went off on your father because of it.  Minato-sama has an idea as to why Sakura left," Saskue clenched his fists, "but can't confirm it.  He also is not sure why Naruto left." Sasuke breathed out a sigh of relief.  "Sasuke, I won't turn you in to Konoha.  I trust that you left with good intentions.  Naruto and Sakura as well."  

"Sensei." Sasuke looked up at Kakashi.  "Thank you."  

$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$

Naruto channeled his chakra for this last attempt.  He was going to summon the great toad Gamabunta.  

"You said you were going to do it on the last ten tries." Gamakichi shouted.

"Wait!  Did I say that out loud?" Naruto asked himself.  

"Yeah you did!  For the eleventh time!" Gamakichi claimed.  Naruto ignored him and concentrated.  Taking in a deep breath he released it and looked down at his hand.  

1

He bit his thumb.

2

He begun to do handsigns.

3

"Summoning Jutsu!" Naruto exclaimed.  Suddenly a large force pushed him up off the ground and he stood high in the air.

"Who dares summons me?" A deep voice roared.

"Oh!  Hey Pops!"

$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&$&

A/N: Hey Y'all!  I know...it's been like three weeks since I updated.  But it's better than a month.  It honestly didn't feel like three weeks.  

I'm excited to introduce more Kakashi in this chapter!  Finally someone from Konoha!  Next chapter will have a little timeskip.  Either that or the chapter after next.  Soon we'll be getting action in the sand, and Sasuke and Naruto will be moving on!

Anyways as always, I love to hear feedback from you guys soooo....

What do you want to see from Kakashi and Sasuke?

What do you think will happen with Gamabunta finally seeing Gamakichi?

What shady things do you think that Teki, the Kazekage to be, will bring to Suna?  

Any others opinions?  

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed!
