Chapter 12: Errors
They walked for exactly 5 hours, 5 long hours. The fire burned out after the first 30 minutes, so they’d been in the dark for 4 hours and 30 minute of that time. Not that it mattered especially, the passage was completely strait so they couldn’t get lost.
It seemed the tunnel would never end and they’d be better off going back and trying get the entrance open. But eventually they saw light coming from the ceiling ahead of them. “Finally, A way out.” Lee said relived, running towards the light.
He had squint from the brightness when he looked up at the sun shining brightly through the trees. Gaara stepped into the light with a sleeping Naruto in his arms, now that he could see he noticed how cute he looked. Naruto was curled up, his face buried in Gaara’s chest and his arms folded. The boy stirred from the sudden flash of sunlight.
He rolled towards it, making Gaara almost drop him from the sudden movement but he managed to keep him in his arms. Naruto opened his eyes, met with the sight of Gaara surrounded by golden light. “I didn’t know I fell asleep, sorry Gaara.” Naruto said sleepily. They had stopped for a rest about 2 hours ago and Naruto fell asleep in his lap.
Gaara smiled at him and set him down. Now that he wasn’t looking at Naruto, he had time to look around at his surroundings. This place looked strangely familiar…‘This….this is where all of this started…this is where I found that hourglass.’ Gaara thought, looking to the left and seeing that familiar shelf that the hourglass was originally on it.
“We’re near the village of the sand.” Gaara said,
Iruka had abandoned his crutches a while back, finding it easier to walk with out them now that he was feeling somewhat better. He walked into the sunlight and stood next to Gaara, “How do you know?” he asked.
“I recognize this hole, it’s near where I was staying before I came to Konoha.” Gaara jumped out of it, counting off all six feet from the passage to the surface just to make sure he was where he thought.
Iruka looked up, watching Shikamaru follow after Lee, Gaara and Naruto. ‘I can make that.” he said to himself, crouching a little and jumping to the top. He made the jump easily, it was the pain that came from landing that slow him down, but he was able ignored it until it dulled away.
The area used to be a forest, it was clear that the storm passed over this area. Every tree had been pulled out of ground, few remained in one piece and for the most part this place was nothing more then a pile of wood. “It’s a shame…” Lee sighed, lifting one foot on to an over turned tree.
“This storm has already done too much irreversible damage, if it continuous the whole continent will be in danger.” Shikamaru said, sitting next to Lee and resting his hands on his head.
“What do you mean?” Naruto asked.
Lee looked back at him, “Look at this place, there’s nothing left alive. With out the trees this place will become a desert. It’s a shame, the same thing is going to happen to Konoha.” He shook his head and looked around again, nothing survived.
“That’s what we’re trying to stop.” Naruto stretched his arms above his head with a small yawn. “Now where do we go now?”
“That way.”
Naruto jumped when Kakashi’s voice came from behind him. “Stop doing that!” He shouted, holding his chest and breathing a little harder.
Gaara started walking in that direction, apparently he saw something ahead. After a few seconds he ran towards it, stopping near a particular piece of wood . He reached down, tossing away the stray debris and lifting up a door.
“What is it?” Naruto asked, standing over his shoulder.
“It’s a door…from the cabin I was staying in. Tenmari and Kankurou were also here.” Gaara dropped the door, looking around the other debris in the area, mainly to see if his brother and sister had stayed in the cabin during the storm. He honestly hoped they hadn’t waited for him, there was a good chance they didn’t know about the storm’s true nature and decided to wait it out.
Naruto also started to look, he knew what Gaara was doing so he didn’t ask questions. More and more wood from the cabin started to turn up among the ones from the trees, building and outline to where the pieces of the cabin had been carried by the storm. Nothing from the cabin showed out side of that border, nothing survived either.
Nothing except Gaara’s gourd, it had been relatively protected by the sand inside and only managed to be moved a few feet from where Gaara’s room stood. Not what he was looking for but it was a sign that may have confirmed his fear. If Tenmari and Kankurou left, there was a good chance that they would have taken the gourd with them.
“Relax, maybe they just forgot it when they left.” Naruto said placing a hand on his shoulder. Gaara returned the gourd to his back and continued his search.
Shikamaru and Lee sat nearby, not knowing exactly what they were looking for so they stayed out of their way and used the time for well deserved rest. Iruka and Kakashi did the same, Iruka didn’t help because Naruto wouldn’t let him considering it still hurt to bend. And Kakashi watched over Iruka as he usually did.
After a half hour of searching, they turned up nothing, meaning Tenmari and Kankurou had made it out safely and probably headed for home. “Done yet?” Kakashi asked, laying in front of Iruka with one hand resting behind his head and the other holding a Come Come Paradise book.
“Yes.” Gaara dusted himself off and stood to his feet.
“And I was just getting comfortable.” Kakashi whined, folding the page he was on and closing the book until they got moving again. Shikamaru shook Lee lightly, seeing that the boy had fallen asleep on his shoulder.
Lee figured it was time to go, so he stood up and started walking in the direction he thought was the right way. After getting only 20 minutes of sleep, not including now, in the last 38 hours he couldn’t wake up fully after falling asleep once. So right now he was on Auto-Pilot, walking in a state of half-sleep almost zombie like. Shikamaru grabbed him by his shoulders and turned him around in the opposite direction.
With a small grunt and half-lidded eyes, he guided his feet in the direction Shikamaru was turning him. Using all of that half-lidded vision to avoid wreckage.

After another hour of walking mindlessly through the barren land, the 6 reached the village of the Sand and found that it had been hit by the storm. Only not in a normal way, The storm had passed over the village…half of it. The left half just got strong winds and heavy rain because only the outer edge of the storm hit it
The right half had taken the full furry of it, a part of the eye even passed over it. Half of the storm passed over half the village, it was lucky in the most unlucky way.
“Whoa…” was the only thing Naruto could to say about it, it was quite a sight.
“So this was the only place that survived? “ Shikamaru said, turning an even more out of it Lee towards the city gates.
“Looks that way.” Iruka folded his arms and took one last glance over the village before following Shikamaru. It wouldn’t be hard to get past them, considering that they had been completely destroyed. It was no use guarding them since no one would have the organization or the focus to attack right now.
They easily walked into the city gates, finding the damages to the part of the village that was still standing were minor. Nothing more then broken windows and things being tossed around somewhat. All of the cities efforts were being focused on search and rescue for the other part of town. Hopefully some on survived but odds were 90% of them stayed above ground and 90% of them died.
“It’s a shame.” Kakashi shook his head and put away his book, even he couldn’t ignore the seriousness of the situation. It was hard to turn away from, and the mood was inescapable. Every couldn’t help but be solemn, knowing the Leaf suffered far worse damages. Even though Konoha was completely destroyed, more of it’s population survived because they knew the only way to survive was to stay underground. Right now it’s numbers doubled the Sand’s.
Gaara stopped at an old shop just ahead, through the broken window he could see it was an antique shop. Which of course carried different sized hour glasses, which he had no problem taking one. This store would go out of business soon any, the only ones that would survive was the ones selling food and the ones selling supplies. That was the only thing people needed right now.
He found one about the size of the one he had before right under the display case. Gaara was surprised that it had avoided damages but it was seemingly alright. Finding nothing wrong with it, he reached down over the window frame and picked it up. “I found one, let’s go.” He said promptly.
Everyone gathered around, placing their hands on his back and shoulder as he held the Hour glass outward and began shifting the sand. The familiar distortion and burring of their vision came, followed by being surrounded by rushing sand.
“Finally we can get this over with.” Naruto sighed happily, sitting down next to Gaara and leaning against his leg.
Lee moved away from Gaara, sitting down near the wall of rushing sand and closing his eyes. Shikamaru stood near him, just to make sure he didn’t fall back into the sand and drown in an extremely painful way.
“Nothing could possible go wrong this time.” Naruto said.
A sudden cracking sound filled the air, centering from Gaara’s Hourglass. It seemed that it hadn’t escaped all damages during the storm, it had an extremely small crack. But because of the spinning and all of the Chakra being poured into the hourglass made it grow larger. And now nothing could stop it from….breaking.
The hourglass shattered, first sending a wave of sand outward that covered Gaara and Naruto. The glass was broken, but the frame was still spinning, and now it was like a vacuum. Pulling in all of the sand surrounding them along with Naruto and Gaara.
“What’s happening?!” Lee shouted, finding himself being pulled in.
“I don’t know, but there’s nothing we can do about it…” Shikamaru said tensely, watching Iruka and Kakashi being pulled in.
