This graveyard has monuments to the fallen ninja who once served the village. Chiyo has a tombstone honoring her sacrifice here.

Gaara walked through the graveyard, face blank. So many people were here...most recently his father. The carrier of the Racoon wasn't sure what to think of this. There was certainly no love lost between his father and himself. But, what kind of son- what kind of person was he not to miss the former Kazekage. The thought brought a low, almost inaudible chuckle to his lips. It only reflected what the majority of the villager thought of him. It was a wonder he had snapped out of the maniac state he had been stuck in. The red head turned, leaning against a rock that happened to be near his father's grave. Head bowed in proper respect, Gaara continued his dark thoughts.

Inugami walked through the grave yard looking at the many tombs. He he bowed his head showing his respects and looked up to see someone. The only person he saw in the grave yard at that moment. He looked at him with a raised eyebrow and walked over. He looked at the grave he was bowing too and then looked to him.
"Was this person important to you?"
He asked the question in a plain tone and he had a plain face expression while looking at the boy.

"INUGAMI! GAARA!"
Naruto leapt towards the duo. He'd finally realized, after sending the messenger frog, that riding a frog would be faster anyways. He'd dispelled the frog and summoned a racing toad, and made it here in record time.
He skidded to a stop in front of the duo, heaving. "I see you've found Gaara, Inugami." He looked at the red-haired sand-nin in question and nodded. "He's.... like us. I dont know how much like me or you, but he shares our unique... condition."

Gaara lifted an eyebrow, as he nodded towards Naruto. "Condition. That's one way of putting it." The Sand-nin turned to the boy who had walked up, and held out his hand. "Inugami, was it? And...found me? What do you need to find me for?" Where eyebrows would normally be raised up, warping the kanji of 'love' on his forhead. A...reminder.

(hehe... lifted an eyebrow. What eyebrow?)
"Dunno. He seemed interested to know you had one too. I told him about us after he proved he was a Jinchuuriki. I'm here 'cause he found Sasuke, and I wanted your help. To get Sasuke back. Be kind of bad-a ss, huh? Three of us together? We'd kick butt!" Naruto leapt at the idea. "We can be the Naruto.... the Naruto.... Naruto Ninja Squad of... demon... people.... WOO!"

Inugami looked at Gaara's hand for a second and then shook it, letting a smile come across his face. He heard Gaara's question and looked at him.
"Yes. My name is Houkou Inugami..I..just wanted to meet some one with the same 'condition' as me. After hearing about you from Naruto i just had to find you."
He turned to Naruto with a raised eyebrow.
"You actually followed me all the way out here. You are one weird kid Uzamaki."

"Yeah, well, I may be weird, but I sure as hell kicked your butt! And you couldnt track my second clone that followed you! So I win there too!" Naruto wiggled his eyebrows playfully before turning to Gaara. "So, how's it been? I havent seen you since the rescue mission, where you helped Lee beat the bone freak."

Gaara nodded to Inugami. "Yes, it is interesting to meet others like us. Though, it generally isn't something I would wish on others. Naruto and I have had bad pasts because of it." The redhead shrugged, before turning to the excited blonde.
"I've been alright. The Villagers are the same, but I've learned to deal with it. I still owe you for that." The Sand nin paused for a moment, before continueing. "You found the Uchiha, eh? I suspect it would be most...difficult to bring him back. Is it possible to really bring him back, if he wishes to stay with Orochimaru? Or would he just leave again?" Gaara was inwardly curious, though his face stayed impassive.

Inugami looked at them both and looked to the side with a frown. He felt bad for them since back in his home he was seen as a protector. He was just isolated, but he was acknowledged.
"Back in my village... I never had friends... But it seems like you guys went through way worst. I was seen as the protector and was praised."
He looked at Naruto after Gaara asked him the question. When Inugami fought Sasuke he seemed to be strong. And if he was right orochimaru gave him power. He had a feeling that Sasuke wouldn't come back.
"Orochimaru?? I heard of him in the bingo book."

"Told ya about him, remember?" Naruto nodded his head sagely. "I could take him, but he might be a little out of your league."
He turned to Gaara. "So, will you help us? Sasuke will come back if we beat him bad enough. Then he'd see that we were stronger, and come with us! That's why he went to Orochimaru, remember?" Naruto nodded again. He'd thought a lot about it recently, and come up with that explanation.

'Out of my League?? This kid hasn't evn seen everything I can do and he says that. Oh he has a real good way of pissing me off.' Inugami looked at Naruto with a fake smile and fire in his eyes. 'Your gonna get. I can picture it now. Orocihmaru has you down on your knees and goes to take you out with the final blow but I jump in and save you. Heh and then I saw cool line like - Stay behind me if you can't take care of yourself.- Hmmph.' He smiles wider while day dreaming about it
"Oh yea..Niceness.."

Gaara nodded to Naruto, without really believing it. He would follow Naruto, one way or another. He owned the blonde that much. The Sand nin didn't honestly believe that the Uchiha's reasons for leaving were all power. Another reason rang true in him mind- that the dark-haired boy was leaving to avoid more memories of the past that Konoha held.
Inugami's mutterings brought his focus to the boy. "What's so 'nice'?" The red head asked, symbol once again becoming skewed has he raised what should be an eyebrow. The arms which lay resting at his sides came up to cross each other. This would be an entertaining day, wouldn't it?

"..Err.."
He looked at Gaara with a sweat drop and smiled towards him with his eye twitching. 'He heard me.. Man he must have good ears..Ok make something up..think.'
"Uhh.. I remembered I had some pie back at home waiting for me so when I get back i'm gonna munch it until it disappears..."
He looked at him with the same smile..' That..That was an horrible answer.' He smacked himself on the head

"PIE! I wish I had some pie..." Naruto's stomach rumbled. "You might have to bake a new one, though. This mission might take a while." The energetic boy rubbed his stomach. "Gaara, you got some food? And some travelling gear? I only had time to get a few soldier pills and some kunai before this freak ran off. Good thing I left a clone to tell Tsunade-no-baa-chan I was leaving, or Inugami mightve made me go missing-nin! Stupid dog..."
[glow=red,2,300][That's the way, boy. Stupid dog Jinchuuriki. Just kill him, and we can get back Sasuke together. It'd be sooo much easier without these losers..][/glow]
[Stupider fox. Just shut the hell up. We need these guys, and they're my friends. If you don't stop bothering me, I swear... I'll get a puppy!]
[glow=red,2,300][Bastard. You know I hate mutts...][/glow]
Naruto looked at Gaara. "So, about food..."
