(15 Minutes Later... Kazekage Tower...)

Rasa was in deep thought about how to tell his son about the news regarding him. After few moments the silence was broken when his assistant opened the door and spoke, "Kazekage-sama... Lady Karura and Your son Gaara are here to see you."

Rasa released a sigh and replied, "Send them in please." His assistant nodded and left to do as she was asked.

Few minutes later his wife and son came in. "Dad..!" Gaara shouted and ran up to his father who picked him up and set him on his lap. Karura came up and sat near the father and son duo.

"Hey buddy... what did you do today..." Rasa asked his son.

"Nothing Dad... But elder brother has the dolls that I saw in TV..!" replied Gaara. Rasa rose an eye brow at that and turned towards his wife for an explanation. Karura gave her husband a look that said 'DON'T ASK ME'. Rasa just shrugged and decided to inform his son what he wanted to tell.

"Gaara... I have something to tell you..." Rasa said to which Gaara nodded letting his father know that he is listening.

------------------------------------------------------------

(After 20 Minutes of Explanation...)

Rasa had explained his son about everything that was discussed with the council when Gaara was born.

"So..." Gaara started to say and paused trying to understand what he was just told by his father. He then continued again, "In order to maintain the safety of the village, I have to become The Guardian of The Sand, by being a jin...jin....jinci.." He tried to repeat the word his father said but he couldn't.

"Jinchuriki..." Rasa completed for his son. He then continued, "But remember... its your choice... If you don't want to, then you don't need to..." Rasa explained.

"Can I protect our family, if I become The Guardian..?" Gaara questioned.

"Yes Gaara... You can protect our family along with all the villagers of this village..." Rasa explained.

"Ok then... I will become The Guardian of The Sand as long as I can keep Mom, You, Sis and elder brother safe." Gaara said. Rasa nodded at his youngest son's words approvingly. He was about to say something but was interrupted by Gaara who said, "But only on one condition dad."

"What is it Gaara..?" Rasa inquired.

"If anyone tries to harm our family... then... In the name of the Desert that we hold dear... I will make sure that they will face my wrath even if they are in heaven or hell. And I don't care whoever it is and even if it is this village or its villagers." Gaara declared.

Rasa and Karura were wide eyed with shock that their youngest son just declared an ominous warning of war, which is often used in ancient times of the Sand village to all those who try to harm their family.

Rasa recovered from his shock and proudly nodded at his son agreeing with him. Karura picked up her son, "I'm sure you will keep your word Gaara..." she said with happy tears.

Gaara got a smile on his face and lifted his right fist to the sky and exclaimed, "I will... Believe it...!"

(Far Away... Senju Compound... Land of Waves...)

"Achoooooo...." Naruto sneezed loudly all of a sudden when he was just about to throw the flying disc for Eevee to catch and his momentum caused him to fall face first in the grass. Eevee ran up to him and started to lick him. Naruto rose up to a sitting position in deep thought and Eevee got a confused expression as to his sudden change.

After few moments, Naruto turned towards Eevee and asked, "Eevee... Why do I feel like someone just stole My Line..?"making sure to put emphasis on the words 'My line'. Eevee just turned her head left to right conveying the message that she doesn't know what he's talking about.

------------------------------------------------------------

(Back at Kazekage Tower... Sand village...)

Rasa ruffled his son's hair who is still in Karura's hands and said, "I'm proud of you Gaara..."

Karura smiled and put Gaara down, "Gaara why don't you wait outside, I will come in a minute..." Gaara nodded and ran out.

When Gaara was out of the office, Karura turned to her husband, "When are you going to carry out the process..?" she inquired referring to the process of sealing Shukaku into Gaara.

"Unfortunately, Sand Village doesn't have the Sealing Knowledge required for properly sealing Shukaku..." Rasa replied.

Karura got confused expression and asked, "Then how are you gonna finish the sealing...?"

"I am gonna ask The Leaf Village for granting The Legendary Sannin - Jiraiya's services, to properly do the sealing... He is now the best when it comes to sealing since the death of The Fourth Hokage."He explained his idea.

"Hmm... Do you think the Leaf will help, if they find out that we are asking their services for creating a jinchuriki for ourselves..?" Karura questioned.

"That is something even I want to know..." he started to say. Then he turned around and went to the balcony behind his desk to look at his village and said, "For the elemental nations..., Leaf and Sand are allies... But I want to confirm whether they're really our ally or is it just for name sake, after their reply to our request..."

Karura nodded agreeing with him and said, "Let's see if our ally can help us in our time of need..." Rasa kept silent and kept watching over his village.

(Unknown Location...)

"As I've said before... We must wai...."an unknown presence started to say but never got to finish as the other presence there interrupted by saying, "With all due respect... Time is running out..."

"What do you mean by time is running out..?" The first presence asked with a surprised face.

"Humanity is vanishing day by day among humans..." The other presence started to say but paused, trying to find a right way to convey the news and after a few seconds the second presence continued again, "There have been large bush fires in a continent with the name Australia and it killed more than One billion of Mother Nature's children. Human-caused climate change increased the chances of experiencing extreme fire weather by at least 30% in that country. Also in another country named India, a pregnant elephant was killed by some people feeding it a fruit loaded with fire crackers. The elephant did nothing to harm people even after it was injured. It was left to suffer in pain for 2-3 weeks. It went to a nearest river and stood in river for 3 days to relieve its pain before taking its last breath due to injuries and starvation. Its unborn child was also killed..." the second presence stopped feeling remorse. "The longer we wait, humanity will vanish even more and many more of Mother Nature's children will suffer..."

"I see..."the first presence replied with remorse filled voice because of his helplessness. "But we can't do anything until the prophecy comes true. The prophecy doesn't only involve the elemental nations, but the entire world. It all depends on His Decision..."

Author's Notes:

It was said that, "With the death of an innocent, humanity dies too." The pregnant elephant I mentioned in the story was an innocent as was her unborn child. With their deaths humanity is dead too.

I request all my readers and all others to stop hurting wild animals as long as they don't hurt you. Let us prove to Mother Nature that humanity does exist.

I usually ask for you all to rate and leave your opinions in reviews. But this time I just wanna say, "It's ok if you can't help Mother Nature's children, but don't go out of your way to kill them."
