Tsukiko smiled to herself as she packed the gifts that Naruto was to give Hinata and her family upon their wedding, her mind trailing off toward the lunch that she had with Gaara earlier. It was the first time they had lunch with her friends after marriage, and she felt even better as she recalled how Gaara had still given her one of his Naruto fishcakes from his ramen.

It took some time but after Tsukiko had picked out some options, Naruto picked out the ones he liked the most out of them. They had to make sure that not only would Hinata would like her gift but also her father and sister. And at the same time, it made Tsukiko miss Neji as well.

How things would be if he was still here with them – Tsukiko wondered if Neji would be helping her out right now for their cousins' wedding. It would have been something much more precious.

Before she had realised it, the time for the Kage Conference was upon them. And although she was not going to take any part in it, Tsukiko went to make sure that Gaara and Kankuro were on time.

Paired with Lee, anyone can lose
sight of what they were up to.

Just as Tsukiko had feared, Gaara and Kankuro had not arrived at the Hokage Building, a per Shikamaru so the white-haired girl went on the hunt for her husband and brother-in-law. And she sighed to herself when she found them having a competition with none other than Killer Bee.

"You're Killer Bee-Sama, the bodyguard of Raikage-Sama, right?" Lee asked Killer Bee, who was by himself. "Isn't anyone accompanying you in the village?"

"I prefer my freedom," Killer Bee replied. "My brother's at the conference reception. Me, I prefer a village exploration. By the way, Kazekage, are you planning on giving Naruto a wedding gift?"

"Yes, I intend to," Gaara answered.

"Finding a gift is my personal mission," Killer Bee rapped. "Let's do our best to make a good decision, yay,"

"Sounds like Kumogakure is really into this," Tenten commented.

"Our gift will be something to marvel at," Killer Bee continued. "Listen well and remember that. Decorated for a special occasion... sake produced by Kumogakure... ten giant kegs of which we're proud, yay. Kumogakure beef of super high-quality... we'll present it roasted whole, in its entirety, yay. Premium games... the best of the best. Ten great games, no less. Yay! That sums up my presentation. A wedding's an important celebration. Yay!"

"A-Amazing!" gasped Lee while Tenten sweat-dropped, confessing, "I didn't get the details because of your rap... but I did get that it'll be extravagant,"

"So, what's Sunagakure getting?" asked Killer Bee. "Have you already ordered it?"

"Well... that's just it," Gaara said quietly, and Tsukiko felt it go through her heart, feeling like she had neglected in helping him out with picking a gift.

"Okay! Okay!" Killer Bee said. "I apologise, I should have realised... our gifts are so extravagant that it's made you hesitant. But that's not important. Doesn't matter if it's not fancy, what comes from the heart is the best choice. That's what'll make Naruto rejoice, yay!"

"Don't patronise us!" exclaimed Kankuro suddenly, jumping to his feet from the bench and bursting into flames, much to the surprise of others, including Tsukiko and Gaara. "Naruto also happens to be Gaara's wife's only brother! We won't hold back!"

"K-Kankuro?" Gaara asked, taken aback.

"We're gonna give a gift that equals Kumogakure's!" Kankuro continued. "We plan to cover the reception hall with flowers grown in Sunagakure! And to highlight the celebration dinner, we'll send the finest tuna in the land... a whole bluefin! And we'll prepare boxes of sweets as wedding favours for every guest! How's that?!"
