Ch 9

(Homage Tower)

"Kaa-chan, kaa-chan!" Gaara scrambled off of Kakashi's arms as soon as they appeared in the hokage's office as Sarutobi raised an eyebrow at the honorific.

"Hello Gaara-chan!" Naru greeted the young boy.

"Did you sleep well?" she managed to keep them both upright after he launched himself at her.

"Hai!" the boy nodded enthusiastically.

"Tou-chan is very comfy!" he said proudly as Naru just had froze at the words.

"Tou-chan?"

"Hai, kaa-chan is with tou-chan," Gaara explained.

"So tou-chan is tou-chan."

Hinata giggled at the way he explained it and Sasuke smirked at the Copy Nin who was rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Okay then," Natu replied.

"Where's Mari-chan?" she looked around in the room to find the sandy blonde girl on hiding behind Yukimaru. She was peering up at Kakashi and then looking at Naru guiltily.

"Temari, what are you doing there?"

"Naru-sama, I believe Temari-chan has something to tell you," the fox nudged the girl towards her mother with his tails.

"No, I don't!" she protested loudly.

"Temari, what is it?" Naru asked as she beckoned to the girl.

"Kaa-chan..." the sandy blonde walked to her mother slowly, unsure of what she wanted to say.

"Can I call Inu-san... tou-chan too?"

"Do you want to?" Naru asked her, receiving a nod in response.

"Then why don't you?"

"I don't know if he likes it," she mumbled in her mother's embrace.

"But Gaara-chan and Kuro-kun call him tou-chan so I wanna do it too." Hinata smiled at the scene while Sasuke and the aged Hokage did the same.

"We'll talk about it later okay?" Naru told the girl who nodded happily at her.

"Right," Sasuke replied.

"I think we're forgetting why we're here."

"I think so too," a Naru smile.

"Ne, Mari-chan I want you to go play I spy with Uncle Sasu."

"Really?" Naru nodded at the girl. Temari scrambled to her uncle, sitting on his lap.

"I'll go first Mari-chan," Sasuke told the girl in his lap. Hinata giggled at the cuteness displayed in front of her.

"I spy with my little eyes... something green."

Temari looked around the room, searching for the object his uncle saw.

"Is it in this room?"

"Yes."

"Do I know what it is?"

"Yes."

"Does Gaara-chan have it too?"

"Maybe..."

"Uncle Sasu~" Temari whined, jade orbs clashing with ruby. Suddenly, the tomoes spun and Temari was taken into her mindscape with Sasuke.

"Uncle Sasu, where are we?"

"We're in your mind, Mari-chan," Sasuke answered, holding the little girl's hand as they began to explore.

"What are we doing here?"
