The Demon Planet (Naruto Fanfic)

Finding a place one belongs is no easy task, particularly when one is stuck in space on a colonial ship to damaged to make the trip to the real colony, and instead finds itself hurtling towards the Demon Colony. The place called the Demon Planet was thought to be an urban legend, a space myth, and yet they find themselves entwined with the secrets of the past.

Gaara knows everyone needs a purpose but after the Chunin exams the purpose he once had disappeared. The twelve-year-old shinobi finds himself heading out to the desert for self-discovery, learning to use his abilities to actually protect someone other than himself. Far outside the village, to the point he can no longer see the walls, he finds himself encountering strangers from another world, but also things he didn't expect.

Disclaimer - I don't own Naruto. This is an AU where the world of Naruto isn't Earth, but instead a planet the people choose to colonize, but later abandoned for unknown reasons. (I know the reasons, but that's another story.) This is written for the Just Write It for April 2016 as well as the Project Constellation SciFriday contest.
