~Sadako's POV~

As Tobi and i walked around, we started to hear some commotion going on to far away from us, we followed the loud shouts to a walkway with wooden fences surrounding it, while in the middle were atleast 7 people gathered around, one clad in all black with cat ears and a puppet hooked to his back, was holding up a small child by the blue of his scarf.

"Konohamaru!" exclaimed an angered raspy voice, my gaze then turned to another boy, shorter than the other, probably being around my age or so, he had on an orange jumpsuit with streaks of blue and white on it, a pair of common blue ninja shoes and a Konoha headband strapped to his spiky yellow blonde hair. 

"Hey, i'm sorry, the whole thing was my fault" stated a pink haired kunoichi in a red and white dress, "you better take your hands off him right now!" shouted the boy in orange, "put him down Kankuro, otherwise we'll hear about it from him" stated the blonde haired girl behind the black clad boy "we gotta a few minutes until 'he' gets here, lets mess with these punks, huh?"stated Kankuro.

The boys grip on Konohamaru tightened, earning a few more whimpers from the kid "let go of me you jerk!" shouted Konohamaru as he started kicking the boy named Kankuro, "your fiesty, but not for long~" he cooed, then the boy in orange started growling then ran at him.

"Put him down!" he shouted as he ran at Kankuro, Kankuro looked at him with a smirk and twitched his fingers, making the orange clad boy to trip and fall, my eyes widened 'he's a puppet master, like Sasori' i thought, watching the scene unfold. 

"What the, what was that?" shouted the boy as he looked at Kankuro, "your a leaf genin too?, your village is full of whimps" stated Kankuro as he tightened his grip on the kid more, the orange clad boy and the other two kids called out Konohamaru's name in fear.

"Hey, cut it out, it hurts!" cried out Konohamaru, "thats it" shouted the orange boy standing up "put him down or i'll take you apart fool!" he shouted pointing at Kankuro, thats when i noticed their headbands, Suna headbands.

I huffed quietly in slight amusment, watching them "your the fool Naruto, making threats isn't going to solve anything!" shouted the pinkette as she put said boy in a headlock, 'so, he's the jinchuriki of the nine tails huh' i thought looking him over.

"Your annoying, all of you" paused Kankuro as he scrunched up his free hand "i don't like runts or any other scrawny weaklings, so when a wimp like this starts shooting off his mouth.....i just wanna break him in half" stated Kankuro as the leaf genin all paled.

"Ugh, fine, but i'm not involved in any of this" sighed the blonde with four pigtails as she looked away bored "first, i'll take care of this squirt, then i'll waste the other one" grinned Kankuro as he brought back his hand, about to punch the kid.

I then felt a pressence in the tree next to the two leaf genin, a rock was then thrown effectively hitting Kankuro's  wrist making said boy drop Konohamaru and clutch his wrist, Konohamaru whimpered and ran behind Naruto.

"Your a long way from home and way outta your league" stated the new comer, i looked over at him and saw that he was bouncing another small rock up and down in his hand, then crushed it.

He had raven coloured hair with black eyes and a cold expression "Sasuke!" squealed the pinkette, the two other little kids following "oh great another whimp to tick me off" groaned Kankuro as he glared at the new comer.

"Get lost" stated the boy as he let the remains of the crushed rock flow with the wind, the pinkette and the two little ones squealed, while Naruto and Konohamaru looked at him in envy and shame.

"How come your not cool like that?" asked Konohamaru, pointing at Naruto with tears streaming down his face "ahh, what do ya mean, i coulda taken that guy out in two seconds flat!" exclaimed Naruto as he looked at Konohamaru.

"Hey punk, get down here" ordered Kankuro as he and the blonde looked at him, the girl had a small blush on her face, while the boy named Sasuke looked at Kankuro with annoyance, "your the kind of punk i hate the most, all bark with nothing to back it up" stated Kankuro as he pulled out the puppet from behind him.

"What, your gonna use the crow for this?" asked the girl suddenly with wide eyes, i then felt an immense chakra source appear next to the Sasuke boy, my eyes locked onto the boy as the bloodlust he radiated made a shudder go up my spine and excite my demon, the new boy looked at Kankuro and the girl with a glare that made them both freeze up in fear. 

"Kankuro, back off" ordered the boy with a cold voice, easily scaring the two and making the leaf genin look at him in surprise and a slight bit of fear at his intimidating stature.
