Part 1

Naruto finally gets mad enough and leaves the Hidden Leaf in search of a place he really belongs. Unbeknownst to him, the Anbu are chasing after him to return him to the Hidden Leaf before the other villages find out and try to capture him.

At the same time in the Sand, Gaara is feeling the pressure of hatred and takes advantage of a mission he was sent on to escape. Soon he has the Sand ninja's chasing him as well.

Both are determined not to return to their village. But with both of their villages chasing them, one realizing the danger and the other not, what will their chances be?
