"Lady Saya, hold on!" Hinata called as she finally caught up to red haired woman. Saya looked over at the Hyuga with narrowed eyes. "What do you want, Hyuga," she asked coldly. Hinata flinched at the girl's tone of voice.

"Can we talk? About Naruto?" the Hyuga heiress asked softly. Saya sighed a little, "No. I'm still trying to get over his death," she said sadly. "Talking help," Hinata suggested. Saya laughed bitterly, "No thank you, I don't need help from a Leaf ninja," she snapped. "Why are you being so mean?" Hinata asked as she got annoyed.

"Because your people casted him out without even putting him on trail!" Saya yelled. "I wasn't even there when it happened!" Hinata argued. "You should have been! Naruto was crushed when no one was there to stand up for him!" Saya argued back. "And how would you know! From what I heard, he was anger and scared most of the village shitless!" Hinata yelled.

"Because I heard it from Naruto himself!" Saya yelled. Hinata was about to reply, but was cut off my someone clearing their throat. "Excuse me, but I think you've touched one of Saya's sour spots," a voice said.

The two girls snapped their heads towards the voice to see Kankurō standing there. "Kankurō, thank god you're here. Get this girl out of my sight before I completely lose it," Saya said as she stormed towards the puppeteer. Kankurō nodded with a small shiver. "Dear god, no thank you. I really don't want to see you mad," he muttered.

"Good, now deal with this eyesore. I'm going to Grandmother Chiyo's," Saya said as she started walking away. Kankurō nodded, "Good idea. Go and cool off a bit, you need it," he agreed. Saya huffed and stormed away.

"I suggest you don't stay here any longer. Saya's normally very calm, but when she's mad...well let's just say...hell is a better place to be," the puppeteer said as a shiver of fear coursed though his body. "Why? Is she on her period?" Hinata asked cooly. "Her temper plus her period...dear god...we would all be doomed," Kankurō muttered fearfully.

"Oh, she can't be that bad," Hinata insisted. Kankurō glared at the heiress. "Trust me, she's that bad. Even my brother fears her when she's like that," he said seriously. Hinata sighed, "If you say so," she muttered. Kankurō nodded, "Now please get going, I can tell that Saya's an inch close to blowing you away," he warned.

"Blow me away?" Hinata asked confuse. A second later, the heiress gasped. "She's not connected to the Kazenootome is she!?" she asked. "Oh god, you believe in that rumor too! No, Saya is not in anyway connected to the Kazenootome in any shape or form. The Kazenootome is nothing, but a little bedtime story," Kankurō explained.

Hinata nodded a little, "Well...I should go find my team. See you later..." she said as she ran off.

Once the Hyuga heiress was gone, Kankurō sighed. "You can come on out now," he called. The ground next to him bursted up in a tower of sand, and in minutes the tower of sand died down and a man stood next the the puppet master.

The man was extremely tall, muscular, and very pale. He was dressed in a short black shirt, long green pants, and black army style boots. Strapped on his back was a large sword with the Suna symbol engraved on it. The man had short blonde hair, and one strange visible looking eye. It was light purple with a ripple-like patten around the eyeball, while the other was covered up by his forehead protector.

"You owe me for standing up for you," Kankurō noted. The man laughed, "We know you don't owe us anything. You're just doing it because if you didn't, Gaara would have you running around like a headless chicken," he said in a gruff voice.
