"Well... off we go!" i smile as we walk out of the village gates. "Ok, Tsunade shishou, off we go!" Sakura nods. "D-do your best!" Iruka sensei seems to hesitate before saying this, but i accept it. "Yeah!" and turn around... to be face to face with ero-sennin! "YO! Goin' on a mission, eh, Naruko?" "Ossu!" i nod. "Uh, more importantly.... Tsunade, something terrible has happened. The sand's Kazekage..." "I KNOW!" Granny interrupts. "I'm about to send these guys off to there now!" Suddenly Jiraiya whispers something into Granny's ear which i can't quite catch, then jiraiya beckons me over. "Naruko, some here for a sec!" jiraiya yells, so i run over.

"Be careful when it comes to the 'Akatsuki'" he tells me. I frown. "They've got something against me so, this time i'm coming after THEM!" I see out of the corner of my eye kakashi looking at me warily. "Yeah, you have got stronger, but... when you feel as though you're about to lose control, get a grip on yourself or you will mess up! Becoming  hot headed too fat is your bad habit!" he lectures. I stay silent. "Naruko, i know you know, but... Don't use that jutsu!" I look at the ground. "I know..."

I destroy a branch by how hard i stamp on it when i jump, and speed ahead. "Naruko! Just because i said hurry doesn't mean you should just dash ahead and leave us!" i hear kakashi yell. "Don't get so heated!" I grind my teeth together. "I can't stand it!" i hiss. "Even i know why they're after Gaara and me! But... you still don't know, sakura!" I frown. "Inside me... resides the Kyuubi... the nine tailed fox that destroyed the village!" I feel hatred bubbling up, and try to supress it. "Me and Gaara... because we have monsters residing within us... they are after us!" i glare at a tree, and i almost could see it shaking. "That's what i can't stand! Just seeing us as monsters! I can't stand them looking at us hatever way the feel like! Gaara.. he and i are so alike....and he... was even lonelier than i! He is targeted.. just as i am! But... why does he have such a hard role!" i yell, holding back tears. "He's alone!"

"That's why.. i won't just sit around!  I want to help him.... this time!!"

"Naruko!" i hear Sakura's voice, so i turn my head to look at her. "You've went through a lot, right? And... you are Itachi Uchiha's target!" i flinch, and she continues... "I was not simply training all this time! I researched, and the man Sasuke wants to kill... is Itachi, his older brother! An akatsuki member! Because of that, sasuke is with orochimaru to become strong.. but orochimaru just wants Sasuke's body!" I nod. "And orochimaru was originally a member of Akatsuki.. in other words.. as we get closer to Akatsuki, we get closer to Sasuke kun! And our time limit to rescue him is half a year!" I nod in determination. "YEAH!"

"Wait, they got Kankuro too?" Temari yells. "Yes, he is poisoned. He has a half day left at most...." the ninja says looking scared. "I'll examine him!" Sakura suddenly yells.

+Very Small TimeSkip+

We rush into the room where Kankuro is supposed to be. Suddenly some old hag LEAPS at Kakashi sensei! Of course, i make a shadow clone to block her. "Hey, why are you going crazy on Kakashi sensei for no reason, old prune?" I yell. "I will avenge my son.. white fang!" the old lady yells, and kakashi says "Ah!!! no, i'm no-" "DO NOT ARGUE!" the old hag shrieks. Then this other old dude walks up and blocks her. (Phew!) And tells her "Look close. He isn't the white fang." The old woman gazes at him, then a look of realisation crosses her face. "KIDDING!" she yells. Uh, yeah right! What IS going on?!
