Sand's Beloved

Casting the Wind Shadow
''"I see." A somewhat solemn voice stated, as numerous elders surrounded him on a large, round table. "-sama, what shall we do about this?" One of the elders asked in panic, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. "It appears that this is a difficult situation." Another one said, a bit calmer than the last one. "I agree with you there." Finally, another one of those annoying elders said. The red-haired, middle-aged man in the middle of the room, adorned with the robes of the, listened and listened to the rattling of these old men.''

''"Stop this nonsense, elders." Gaara had said, standing up in response to their idle chatter. "Your bickering will not get us anywhere. The other Shinobi countries' Kage have recently been enlisted, and therefore, do not hold the experience to manage such a dire problem." He paused, briefly. "I will go. And single-handedly, with the power of the Shukaku behind me, I will stop a calamity from reaching the Shinobi world. That is my will, and none of you have the right to stop me."''

''The announcement frightened the elders. "What!? Do you realize the...-!?" Gaara cut him off, "I do. And that is precisely why I am engaging now, before the armies grow beyond even my control." The elders, knowing Gaara's logic was perfectly reasonable, tilted their heads in shame. "Prepare for my departure, and ask the sealing team to bring me an enormous quantity of sealing tags...this will be a long fight." And then, Gaara strode off, and away from the building. He looked upon the skies that covered his village within desert for but a moment.''

Opening the azure eyes lined with black eye rings, he looked upon the conjuring army present before him. Adorned proudly in his Kazekage robes, he placed the hat upon the ground, and beside him lied four gourds of sand, as well as his own strapped across his back. "Perhaps this isn't the best option available...but,, I will protect all that I am allowed to...even if it be with my life!" His thoughts echoed within him, flooding him with a unique resolve. "Shukaku...are you prepared?" He asked him, out loud, as to which the beast screamed within his body. "You kidding!? I'm going to have the most fun I have had in my life!" Gaara simply smiled slightly, but a tear welled up in both of his eyes. "Shinobi Forces of the Western Countries! I, the Fifth Kazekage, Gaara of the Sand Waterfall, have come to prevent an outbreak of war! Please, consider negotiations one more time!" His voice echoed throughout the land, its power being reverberated by the wind. He only wanted a small period of time from them, if only just a second, all in the name of peace.
