It was a normal day for izuki HRe was casually strolling around the village there was many people on the street many voices can be heard but he didn't pay attention to them he was in deep ocean of his own thoughts. He came to reality when he heard a commotion nearby. His footsteps took the path where these voices are coming from. When he got there he saw his teammates and a team from Sand village. There was a tattoo guy and a girl with big fan. But he ignored them as his gaze lingered over someone...... Gaara of the sand .

Gaara felt a gaze at his back. He turned around and saw a figure with a white mask approaching him. The figure's eyes are fixed on Gaara.

"Who are you?" Gaara asked the white masked figure. He was wary of new people and the figure seems a bit suspicious.

Izuki still thinking about the small fight they just played thought that gaara with shukaku is more stronger than him but without it izuki will win .
As gaara spoke naruto sakura sasuke and the sand ninjas looked at him noticing izuki's presence .the sand ninjas clearly shocked confused and surprised at izuki's mysterious presence as for team 7 , they are now used to it and recognized izuki immediately.

The sand ninjas were surprised and suspicious of the mysterious white masked figure who just casually showed up without anyone noticing him. They looked ready to attack at a moment's notice.

Team 7 recognized the white masked figure and was used to his antics. They didn't react when they see his sudden appearance. Naruto was happy to see him, while Sasuke and Sakura looked at him with a deadpanned look.

"Who is he?" Temari asked, noticing the mysterious figure standing calmly and unfazed by their presence. Meanwhile, the mysterious figure continued to silently watch them, not saying anything.

" Izuki "  he said watching the sand ninjas as they looked confused wondering what was a sand ninjas doing in Konoha.

The sand ninjas looked at each other in confusion. They heard what he said but they didn't know who was this "Izuki" person. "Izuki? Sounds like a foreign name." Kankuro said, scratching his head.

"And he looks weird too. Wearing that white mask and stuff." Temari added, gazing at the mysterious figure with a suspicious look.

Izuki ignored their reactions and asked Naruto curiously "who are they?
Naruto looked at the sand ninjas and noticed the perplexed looks on their faces. He chuckled and answered, "Oh, they're from the Sand Village." Naruto said, gesturing at the sand ninjas.

He then added, "The guy with the red hair is Gaara." He pointed at Gaara, explaining who he was. "Gaara...... Hn." izuki said as he looked at gaara. he  knows better then them who they were but he still has to ask because how can a he know someone random.

Gaara could feel the intense gaze of Izuki on him. He returned the gaze, analyzing the mysterious figure with a careful look. "Is he sizing me up?" Gaara thought to himself. He could feel a sense of familiarity with the masked figure but he couldn't quite place it.

Gaara returned the gaze, observing the mysterious figure silently. The air between them seemed tense as they exchanged gazes.Team 7 observed the interaction between izuki and gaara, noticing the silent tension between them. They wondered what was going on in izuki's mind.

"What's the deal with those two? They're staring at each other like they're having a silent conversation." Sakura whispered to Sasuke and Naruto, who were standing nearby.

"Yeah, it's getting kinda weird..." Naruto replied, scratching his head. Sasuke, on the other hand, looked uninterested, but his eyes darted back and forth between izuki and gaara, observing their interaction.
