"Victory!!!!" Inari screams and we all cheers. We won... we finally won! And I've learn a valuable lesson today... always cherish those who are there for us... because we never know how much time we have with them... and to let go of the past to get a better future...

-The Sand Genin-

Y/N P.O.V

After the mission, we all head back. It's funny to see how Naruto and Inari holding back their tears. But I have to admit myself... it's kinda sad to leave them. I will miss Tsunami-San so much. She's been acting like a mother towards me.

We reached Konohagakure about an hour ago. I'm really tired. All I want is a good sleep after a long week of mission in the Land of Wave. So when I reached home, I quickly change into my pajamas and went straight to my bed... instantly falling asleep.

The Next Day

Kakashi-Sensei wants us to gather, because we will be having another mission. But on the village. We did various kinds of mission. From plucking some grass to walking puppies.

Naruto wants to beat Sasuke on everything, but in the end... he got into trouble in each. Getting drag by the river current to getting drag by the puppy. Well... the last one is his own fault... he chose the biggest puppy.

Kakashi-Sensei sighs frustratedly at us. "Your team work is clearly a mess... I don't even know what to tell the Hokage about this..." Sensei said. "That's because this Teme thinks he's above everyone!" Naruto scream, pointing at Sasuke. "Not everyone. Just you" Sasuke screams back. They start arguing even more. A tick mark appear on my head as I pull each of their ears, causing them to wail in pain.

Kakashi-Sensei went away, saying he needs to file in some reports to the Hokage. I let out a sigh and turn to the others. Then I hear Sakura talking to Sasuke. I turn to them.

"Um... Sasuke-kun... do you want to train with me? You know... to get our teamwork better... just the two of us?" She said. "Sakura... this team consists of 4... not 2" I said. She ignores me and stare at Sasuke expectantly, waiting for his answer.

"Y/N is right... and instead of trying to flirt with me, go and train by yourself... you're worse than Naruto" Sasuke said, then he walks off.

"Hey Sakura... wanna train with me?" Naruto said. "That's private conversation! Quit eavesdropping" she said. Then I notice a weird looking box. I nudge Naruto and points towards it. 

"That's the worst disguise!" Naruto said. Then 3 kids appear. "You're slick boss... that's why I respect you" said the boy I recognize as the Hokage's grandson. I turn to the other two, with must be his friends.

"Who are you?" Sakura asks Konohamaru. He looks at Sakura, then at me. "Who are they, boss? Are they your girlfriends?" He asks. "Um yeah... you could say that..." Naruto said, looking proud. Sakura looks angered by this and punch Naruto, sending him to the wall.

"Boss! What kind of girlfriend are you? Why can you be like her? She's way prettier than you!" That made Sakura punch him as well. "Hey Sakura! He's just a kid!" I said, running over to Konohamaru. He rubs his head. "Man... is that girl really a human? Did you see how wide his forehead is?" I cover his mouth. But it's too late, Sakura already heard what he said. "You better run..." I said, looking at him. Then they start running away.

Konohamaru end up bumping into a guy. "Ouch! Oi! That hurt you know!!" The guy yell at Konohamaru, then picks him up by the collar. I run towards them and Sakura is trying to apologize.

Naruto tries to fight him, only to fly back. I can see strings of chakra coming from his hand. Saphira... did you see that? Looks like he's a puppet master... I talk to Saphira. So it seems... she replies.

Konohamaru let's out a choke noise. "Can you please let him go? You're going to hurt him..." I said. "Shut up! It's his fault for bumping into me!" He yells at me. Okay... that's it! I try being nice but he didn't appreciate that.

I appear behind him. "I SAID let him go..." I growl in his ear. "Wha- how did you?" He said, shocked. "Let him go..." I said in a much more dangerous voice. He looks annoyed, then he turns around to punch me. I swiftly grab his hand. Then I swung him over my shoulder, sending him to his back on the ground.

I grab Konohamaru and push him behind me to protect him. "Argh! I'm going to have so much fun ending you!" He said, running to me. But a pebble is thrown his way. I look up to see Sasuke. I smirk at him. He smirks back.

"Another Genin brat! Might as well have some fun before he gets here..." the guy said, reaching his back. "You're going to use the crow for this??" The girl with him said.

"Stop it, Kankuro!" Someone said. I look up to the voice. Next to Sasuke on the branch, there's a boy hanging upside down. What the... when did he?? How come I didn't sense him?

"T-they started it, Gaara..." the guy named Kankuro stutter. "Shut up or I'll kill you... you're a disgrace to our village!" Gaara said in a cold tone. This makes Kankuro flinch. "Sorry..." he said in a low tone. Then Gaara turns to us, mostly he's looking at me. "I'm sorry for what he have caused..." he said. I just stare at him. He have dark circles around his eyes... like he haven't gotten any sleep.

Then he turn into sand and materialize in the middle of Kankuro and the girl. They turn around to leave, but Sakura stops them. Saying how they trespassed. I let out a sigh "Sakura... those three are here for the upcoming chunnin exam..." I said. "At least one of you didn't live under the rock... we have a slip pass" the girl said. Then they turn around to leave. But this time they got stopped by Sasuke.

"You! What's your name?" Sasuke said. The girl turn with a blush on her cheeks. "Who? Me?" She said. I roll my eyes. "No... the guy with the gourd on the back..." he said, ignoring the girl's comment. The red haired guy turns to look at us. Again... he's mostly looking at me. Then he turns to look at Sasuke.

"I'm Gaara of the desert... I'm curious about you too. As well as the girl..." he said, turning to me. "I'm Uchiha Sasuke..." Sasuke answer, smirking. "And I'm L/N Y/N... pleasure... to meet you..." I said, with a soft smile. He gives me a small smile. "I bet you're dying to know me!" Naruto said. His expression turn into an emotionless one again. "No... I couldn't care less..." he said. Then he turns around and leave. His eyes... they held loneliness... what happens to him in the past? I have to know... I wanna help him... even though I don't know him.

Gaara... what an interesting guy...
