Sunagakure is finally in sight. I walked faster with my cloak on, covering half of my face. Two of my shinobis followed closely behind me.

When we reached the entrance, we were greeted by their guards.

"Who are you and what is your business here?" He asked.

"I have matters to discuss with the Kazekage as the Hanakage." I said with my monotone voice.

We took down our hoodie to reveal our forehead protecter.

"Follow me." He said and we obliged.

We walked into the Kazakage tower and stopped in front of a door. The guard knocked the door.

"Come in." I heard a muffled voice, which I assumed is Gaara.

"The Hanakage is here to see you, sir. Two ninjas are with her." He said.

"Bring them in." He said.

The guard gestured us to come in an excuses himself.

"Hanakage?" He looked at me suspiciously.

"Yes, it is a new village. It consists of the former Land of Fangs, Land of Claws, Land of Mountains and Land of Bears." I answered.

"And you are here because?"

"To make an alliance with you." I said.

"May I at least know your identity?" He asked.

I looked over to my two shinobis signalling them to leave the room. They hesitated, but left.

I looked over at Gaara and pulled down my hoodie. Gaara's eyes widened in shock.

"It has been a long time, Gaara." I smiled at him.

"When did you..?" He started.

"Let me explain." I sighed and gave him a sad smile.

~30 MINUTES LATER~

"How could they?!" Gaara growled, his fists tightened.

He sighed and said,"Alright, we will form an alliance with you. Do you plan on informing the Hokage about this?"

"No. She will find our by herself and we will not make an alliance with her unless Konohagakure is ruled by someone who did not betray us, which is unlikely." I answered.

"Very well, I do not need be allies with these people who betrayed their comrades." He said.

"But.. Aren't you good friends with them? They did help you a lot.." I said as I passed him two scrolls about the alliance.

"You are good friends with them too. Closer to them compared to me, yet they did that to four of you. I do not wish to put my village in such a risk. And, I have your village to help me." He smiled as he signed in both of the scrolls.

"Thank you very much then!" I grinned.

"Come to our village anytime." He said as he passed me a scroll back for me to keep.

"You should visit our village as well. Do tell me about it, so we can welcome you personally."

"Will do. I'll walk you to the gates." He offered as he stood up.

We shook hands and I said,"Thank you."

~5 DAYS LATER~

"TenTen! How was it?" I asked.

"We are allies with the Land of Rocks" She smiled.

"Great! The Kazekage have accepted our request. He also stated he will break his alliance with Konohagakure after what they did to us."

"So he cares about us?" Ino raises an eyebrow.

"Oh, no. He just doesn't want to put his village at risk of being betrayed" I said.

"TenTen, did you tell the Iwakage about this?" Hinata asked.

"Yes, he recognised me. I told him, but he didn't say anything. His frown was visible though." TenTen said.

"Well, they deserve it." Ino said with a smile plastered on her face.

~IN KONOHAGAKURE~

Tsunade hit the table angrily, causing it to crumble.

"Tsunade-sama?!" Shizune entered the room and called worriedly.

"I received scrolls from Sunagakure and Iwagakure. They are breaking our alliance because we aren't trustworthy." She growled.

"I-I think you should look at this..Tsunade-sama.." Shizune said as she passed her a scroll of the updated map.

Tsunade opened it and her eyes almost bulge out.

"WHAT?!" She looked at the map repeatedly. "Hanagakure, Land of Spring. Land of Fangs, Land of Claws, Land of Mountains and Land of Bears are taken over..?!"

"I heard that they pleaded the Spring Angels to be their leader. The ninjas from Hoshigakure insisted on calling them Kages. They are now quite known. Their ninjas just started going on missions today as ninjas from Hanagakure and they have complete over 100 missions easily"

"Who are the Spring Angels..?" Tsunade bit her finger nails. "Why did Sunagakure and Iwagakure cancel the alliance..?"
