Chapter 2 - Gaara! I'm coming for you.

A sand village eagle suddenly appeared in Tsunade's office as she was going to assign Team 7 to a B-rank mission.

"Huh, what this," questioned Tsunade. Shizune looked at the scroll shocked, "Tsunade-sama. This scroll says.

To Konohagure:

'This is Sunagakure. We recently got attacked by two Akatsuki members and we need assistance to get our Kazekage Gaara, back. We also need a medical nin to help heal Kankoro of his poison.

Signed, Temari'

"Team 7, I have a new mission. It's an S-rank rescue mission to save Gaara from the Akatsuki," stated Tsunade with haste in her voice.

"Let's head out" stated Naruto with a stoic yet annoyed face as Sakura and Kakashi followed suit.

Naruto was tree running at rapid speeds determined to get Gaara. He got farther from the group.

"Naruto, don't waste your chakra," stated Kakashi. Naruto smiled looking back and said, "I'm barely using any." This dumbfounded Kakashi and Sakura.

"I'm going to make this faster," stated Naruto as he waited for Kakashi and Sakura to catch up. He helped them and used Shunshunn no jutsu moving at rapid speeds as they got to the Sand village in a day(2 days earlier than the canon timeline).

"Naruto, why did you run so fast, I'm so dizzy" moaned Sakura as Kakashi was passed out by the gates.

Naruto, Kakashi, and Sakura headed towards the gates as the guards said they were not allowed to enter.

"Allow them to come in, I asked for their support," stated Temari as the guards complied. They'd entered the building where Kankuro was, and Lady Chiyo came in to check and saw the white fang. As soon as she was about to move her feet, Naruto was behind her with a kunai on her neck(Minato-esque moment).

"What do you think you're doing... old hag," stated Naruto in an ominous voice that scared Chiyo. "Naruto, you can leave her," stated Kakashi. Naruto sighed and said, "Fine, but if you attempt to touch Kakashi-sensei, I will annihilate you. Naruto had shown off his Zenchogan for a moment which radiated a shit ton of chakra.

"So you are not the White Fang," questioned Chiyo being careful; with her words. "No, I'm just his son replied," Kakashi as he remembered the day his father committed suicide due to how harshly the villagers, shinobi, and comrades treated him for putting their lives before the mission.

"So, can you heal him," questioned Temari as she looked at Sakura. Sakura with confident eyes was about to say, "I can if I ge- I'll do it." interrupted Naruto.

"But Naruto, you don't know medical ninjutsu," stated Sakura in confusion. "You don't know me, Sakura," stated Naruto coldly as he shut her up.

Naruto looked at the area the poison was injected into first, and touched Kankoros's body piercing it using wind nature on his hands using chakra to destroy the parts of the body the poison had affected. He did this after he knocked out Kankoro.

"This should work, Yin Healing Wound Destruction no Jutsu! ( 2:8, Black to White Chakra Ratio) I yelled as I touched the destroyed flesh and regenerated it taking out the poison and re-strengthened his body. I then looked at the group of people, and stated: Ok, I'm done." Sakura, Kakashi, Temari, and Chiyo looked at him in shock.

Sakura went to check Kankoros's body using basic medical ninjutsu to observe.

"Impossible, he not only removed the poison but also increased Kankoro's vitality as well. The only person I know capable of this feat is Tsuande and she needs Lady Katsuyu. Sakura stared at Naruto and thought: "And to think he also specializes in combat."

"Let's get going. if you guys don't follow me. I'll have a solo run," stated Naruto as he headed out. Kakashi put his hand on Naruto and stared at him stating, "We'll go tomorrow so we have more energy for the encounter. At least listen to me as your sensei." Naruto glared at Kakashi as the spectators stared in anticipation. Naruto simply replied with a "Fine, Kakashi-sensei."

"I'm surprised he treats you with such respect at his levels of strength, I'll join alongside," stated Chiyo as she wondered if this boy was Minato's son as he oddly resembled him. "I don't want to fully reveal my cards to the Akatsuki until encountering the Pain guy Pervy-sage told me about."

The Next day:

Naruto, Sakura, Kakashi, and Chiyo dashed to the Akatsuki base using Pakkun who sniffed out the cloth Kankuro got from Sasori's robe.

"Don't worry Gaara, I'm coming for you!" exclaimed Naruto as Chiyo wondered why he cared for him so much.
