Everyone remained to look at each other, mainly at Aceso, Kankuro, and Gaara.
" You're an embarrassment to our village," Gaara repeated as he looked back at Kankuro. " Had you forgotten the reason we came all the way here?
" I know," Kankuro recalled. " I, I mean, they challenged us. They started the whole thing, really. See here's what happened."
" Shut up," Gaara demanded coldly. " Or I'll kill you."
" Ah, right," Kankuro agreed. " I was totally out of line. I'm --I'm sorry, Gaara. I was totally out of line."
" I'm sorry for any trouble he caused," Gaara apologized as he looked at the others. Sand appeared, making him disappear then he appeared on the ground, he was right next to Aceso. " Let's go. We didn't come here to play games." Then at that moment, Aceso recalled what was happening, the Chunin exams, that would explain why outsiders had come.
" All right, sure. I get it," Kankuro agreed. The boy seemed smaller on the ground, but still taller than Aceso. She came right to his shoulder.
" Hold on!" Sakura yelled as they began to walk away. "Hey!"
" What?" the blonde girl asked as they stopped walking.
" I can tell from your headband that you come from the Village Hidden in the Sand," Sakura noticed. " Of course the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind are allies. But no shinobi can enter another's village without permission. So state your purpose. And it better be good."
" They do have permission to be here," Aceso corrected.
" Step aside Aceso, the real ninja's are talking here," Sakura ordered.
" She's right," the girl said as they turned to face them. " Have you guys all been living under a rock besides Aceso or what? You don't know what's going on, do you? As your friend said, we have permission." She held up her permission slip. They all gasped. " Of course, you're correct. We are hidden Sand Genin. Our home is the land of the wind. And we're here for the Chunin exams. Get the picture?"
" The Chunin exams?" Naruto explained. "What's that?"
" They happen at least twice a year," Aceso answered.
" Well, I've never heard of any Chunin exams, believe it," Naruto declared.
" I believe it, all right," the girl agreed. " That you're totally clueless."
" Hey, boss!" Konohamaru called. " Those are the exams every Genin's got to take in order to graduate to being a full-on Chunin."
" Oh, well why didn't you say so?" Naruto asked. " I am so there!"
" Hey, you," Sasuke called as he got on the ground. "You! Identify yourself!" He stood beside Aceso now.
" Hm? You mean me?" the girl asked turning around.
" No, him," Sasuke corrected. " The guy with the gourd on his back."
" Huh?" Kankuro asked as they both turned around.
" My name is Gaara of the desert," Gaara answered. " I'm curious about you, too. Who are you?"
" I am Sasuke Uchiha," Sasuke answered with a smirk. A gust came through, moving around some leaves, pushing past people's hair.
" Hi, there! I bet you're dying to know my name, right?" Naruto asked cheerfully.
" I couldn't care less," Gaara admitted. They turned around and jumped away.
" Hey, Konohamaru, do I seem uncool or something?" Naruto asked as the two knelt together.
" Well, compared to Sasuke, yeah, you're pretty lame," Konohamaru admitted. Naruto groaned loudly.
