The orb connected with the man and sent him flying farther than Ichinaru's eyes could see. He fell to the ground and looked at Alzid she was looking at him, clearly impressed. His attention then turned to the wall of earth. She looked at it and it collapsed.
“How did you use the chidori? I thought it was Sharingan wielders exclusively.”
“Another nifty ability of Eien no Me, Any jutsu I see or read about I can use. Though the ones that I've read about are significantly harder, because I have to use my imagination to come up with the jutsu. Besides, anyone can use Chidori. It`s just with out Sharingan, or something of the same caliber, you can`t control where you attack. So basically without Sharingan, or Eien no Me, only attack in a straight line.”
“And about the Rasenshuriken, well, it doesn't affect me on the cellular level when I don't throw it. You don't think that I, the greatest ninja in the world, would not create a barrier between my hand and the Rasenshuriken, jeez.”
“What happened to being the Leaf's greatest ninja? But anyway, where did you learn that soil wall technique? I`ve never seen it.”
Ichinaru frowned and said nothing. Alzid put her hands on her hips and said, “Well?”
Ichinaru thought for a moment and then said, “I'll tell you later.”
“What do you mean-”
“Later.”
Alzid wanted to continue the argument, but the way he said `later' sounded definite, so she let it slide. Now, for the second time in their journey, they slept uncomfortably on the ground.

They woke up early the next morning and quickly made their way through the desert. If not for Ichinaru's Eien no Me, they probably wouldn't have been able to find the Sand. As they approached the entrance, Sand shinobi surrounded them. An older man with tattoos on his face walked up and asked, “What is you're business for coming to the Sand?”
Ichinaru flicked his headband and said, “Were here from Konoha. My name is Ichinaru Uzumaki. My companion here is Alzid. You must be Kankuro, am I correct?”
Kankuro nodded and said, “You arrived later than we would have thought, but I greatly appreciate Konoha sending Naruto's son, wow you look nothing like him.”
“I get that a lot. Now I really must see the Kazekage, my mother was kidnapped by the Abarai clan, when they attacked our village. So I need to get to them as quickly as possible so that we can all be rid of this nuisance.”
“Well when you put it like that, you can see the Gaara immediately. Let them through!”
The shinobi disappeared and Kankuro lead them through the city. He walked them through the mansion and took them to a large room. A man sat on the end of a long table. He looked up when they entered and asked, “Who are you?”
“These two are from Konoha. This is Ichinaru Uzumaki and Alzid. It seems the Abarai clan attacked Konoha as well and kidnapped Naruto's wife. They have come to retrieve her and help us out.”
“Very kind of Naruto to send his son and this young woman to help us. How is you're father?” Gaara asked, his tone flat.
“He's doing well I assume. He's currently negotiating with the Mist. He has yet to be informed about the situation.”
Gaara nodded and Ichinaru quickly turned to Kankuro. He sighed and said, “I wish to talk to the Kazekage alone, please.”
Kankuro looked at Gaara, who nodded in approval. Kankuro turned and left. When the door had closed completely, he turned to Gaara. He looked from Alzid to Gaara and asked, “Do you know who she is?”
Alzid looked at him confused and Gaara said, “I do not, should I?”
“Yes you should.”
Gaara and Alzid cocked their heads and asked in unison, “Why?”
“Gaara of the Desert. You are looking at your daughter.”
Alzid`s eyes widened in shock and she half-yelled, “What are you talking about, Ichinaru? I can't be related to the Kazekage!”
“Alzid think about it. You're extremely powerful, when you try, you don't remember anything about you past, and you showed up the same time Gaara's daughter went missing. Plus you have the ability to manipulate earth and sand.”
The room went quiet for a moment and then Gaara held his hand out. Sand seeped in from the window and fell to the floor. He motioned for Alzid to walk forward. She did so without hesitation and he said, “Lift this sand and fire it into the ceiling and you will be proven to be my daughter.”
Alzid looked at Ichinaru and he said, “Alzid, you can do it. I'm one hundred percent sure that you are Gaara's daughter.”
Alzid nodded and sighed. She held out her hand and concentrated. Nothing happened for a moment and Ichinaru's faith wavered for a moment. But suddenly the pile of sand shot up and impaled itself into the ceiling. A tear formed in the corner of Gaara's eye as he said, “It is proven you are my daughter.”
“How did you use the chidori? I thought it was Sharingan wielders exclusively.”
