It only took a few days until I got to Suna but I was glad that it wasn't raining all the time but it was dry and humid. My spider contract had been storing up a lot of information and so far none of it looked good at all. In fact, it showed that Danzo was responsible for a lot of things going wrong over the years. It also showed me a few things from the Akatsueki that most don't know. All of this was stored within my mind and now I had a seal on my body that didn't allow anyone into my mind including the Yamanaka's, the amount of secrets that I held was too great to let anyone know. I was studying the Uzumaki kinjutsu at the moment, I had finished reading the seals scrolls so the only thing that would make me better was practice now. With the kinjutsu you had to know all the theory before attempting it because it was a major drain, if something bad happened like overpowering it or under powering it, there would not be a second time it would destroy my chakra paths and kill me on the spot. There was one kinjutsu that I was focusing on learning more than the rest as well as a jutsu that I had found with my spider's digging.
"Kuroki" I heard and I looked up and saw I had been walking and thinking and I was now at the gates to the sand village. Temari, Kankuro and Gaara were standing there looking at me in surprise and I couldn't help but scratch the back of my neck a little.
"Um hi?" I asked more than said and before I knew it Temari had swept me into her arms and smothered me in a hug.
"I don't know how to thank you for getting my brother back, thank you so much" Temari thanked me and I blushed a little while looking at the ground.
"I didn't do anything really it was Gaara and yourselves that helped him, I mean Shukaku didn't have to listen to me nor did Gaara but they had the people supporting them to help them get better. I can um fix the seal now so it will be better if you want?" I offered.
"How?" Gaara questioned and I saw no anger or anything in his eyes making me relieved.
"Well at the moment how the seal is, it wasn't made by a seals master, it was something someone whipped up on the go so it isn't stable. The reason Shukaku gave you such a hard time is because of the seal, see with seals if you are going to seal a living being or in this instant a chakra being then you have to make sure the seal is good, if not it will drive them crazy with pain so Shukaku isn't normally like that. Well sure he has anger issues but I have looked up about the tailed beasts and he wasn't always like that" I explained and he looked at me shocked.
"Wait a moment you researched them?" Kankuro asked and I nodded.
"Well yeah I mean the six path sage has been gone for a long time but in the villages some have bits and pieces of information on each of the tailed beasts, I just put them all together and got some information" I said and they nodded.
"The leaf sent word that you would be heading here soon, we have decided you can stay with us in the Kazekage mansion, Gaara is going to be the next Kazekage" Kankuro boasted and I smiled.
"You will be a great leader Gaara" I smiled gently at him.
"What makes you say that?" Gaara asked and I shrugged.
"I don't know really, I am just sure that it is going to happen in fact I would bet my life on it after all to be a good leader you need to know what it is to love, to care and take care of but you also need to know despair, sadness and have no one on your side. You know both of those sides strongly so I know you're going to be great" I grinned happily.
"I have the records for Birth records and marriage records in the room you're staying in, take your time" said Gaara and I nodded, smiling happily that they weren't angry with me.

"As thanks for helping my brother, I want to teach you how to use puppets and make them, that is if you want I mean you don't have to" Kankuro offered, looking off and scratching his cheek.
"I would love to know how to use puppet strings. I tried on my own but I put way too much chakra into them and they cut my hands up pretty bad" I admitted and Kankuro's eyes widened.
"WHAT?! You shouldn't try to overpower the chakra strings, if you do and they hit the muscles in the hand it can seriously damage you" Kankuro yelled, grabbing my hands and his jaw dropping in complete shock.
"There are so many scars, how did you get them?" Kankuro questioned, tracing each of the scars on my hands.
"Well when I overpower jutsus that are made to cut or jutsus that come from the hands they tend to backfire and hurt my hands I just put some ointment on them and let them heal" I explained.
"Why did you not go to a medic ninja?" Gaara enquired and I winced a little.
"Well in the leaf I wasn't exactly liked, don't get me wrong I got along fine and I have friends there now but it was less drama to just have the scars and deal with it" I shrugged.

"Now ready for me to fix that seal up Gaara?" I asked and he nodded as we were in the living room.
"When you are ready I will help you perfect your wind jutsu" Temari declared and I nodded as Gaara took his shirt off so I could see the seal.
"Shukaku, I am not going to hurt you or Gaara okay? You don't have to worry I am going to make sure you do get hurt again" I said out loud, dipping my brush into the ink as Gaara was laying on the ground and I began to draw the seal on my chakra going into every stroke every drop of ink had chakra in it. Surprisingly, through the whole thing Gaara's sand didn't even react to me being so close to him.
"Okay ready this might hurt a little, Fuujin" I warned, placing my hand on the seal and pushing my chakra into it. Gaara let out a scream thrashing but I held him down, my chakra still transferring even as tears streamed down my face. I hated having people hurt because of me, I knew that it was going to help them in the long run but I still hated it. Finally it was finished and I sat back against the chair, exhausted, tear tracks still on my face and my chakra exhausted.
"That should do it, I am sure that you will feel much better now Gaara you as well Shukaku but for now get some well deserved sleep" I whispered and I knew with Gaara's breathing changing he had gone to sleep.
"Is everything okay?" Kankuro enquired as he and Temari came in and I nodded.
"Yeah I'm sorry for putting Gaara through that pain" I apologised and they shook their heads.
"He would have been in more pain if you hadn't done it, for once he can rest without having to worry about Shukaku, Gaara will be happy when he wakes up" Temari smiled as she picked Gaara up and went to tuck him into bed while I went to stand up. The world swirled a little, making me reach out to steady myself only to find that Kankuro had steadied me.
"You okay?" He asked and I nodded.
"Yeah just chakra depletion and exhaustion normally it's three people to do that sort of seal but there was only me, lucky I have large chakra pools," I chuckled and I was swept up into Kankuro's arms.
"I'll take you to your room so you can rest for the rest of the day" He explained and I nodded, already drifting off to sleep.
