Six of the clones attacked, along with Katsuki's sand, Tai and Sai's combo attack and Sakino. The ninja looked around, trying desperately to think of a possible way to dodge or block them all, but he never stood a chance. Due to the indecision he ended up doing nothing and all attacks collided.
"I guess that's what you call an overkill..." said Katsuki.

"Well, gotta do something fun on the trip back!" Sakei grinned. Tai interjected, "Need something decent to brag about when we get back to the village!" They highfived eachother and bro-hugged, "That was awesome, dude."
"Why, thank you, Tai. You were awesome too." Sakei nodded and then turned to Sakino, who was wiping the blades of her shuriken, and smiled, "Nice, overkill."
"You too, Blondie. But, don't get in my way aain or I might just miss the actual target. You too, Ponytail." She gestured to Tai. Sakino turned to Katsuki, "How we doing?"

Katsuki was tying up her sack after all the sand had returned to it. "I'm just wondering why they attacked us... they were wearing Suna forehead protectors."

"Did you not see the hhuuggee slash through it?" Sakei asked Katsuki poofing all his clones into non-existance. Sakino holstered her Shuriken and turned, "Rogue ninja. Ex-Suna. You dig? They were after you, obviuosly have a beef with your old man."

"Hmm, if they were after Dad they should have gone after him directly," said Katsuki with a small grin. Now that's an overkill."

"Right, the gates to the city is just up here." Sakino informed the visitor keeping a wary eye out for other ninja.

Katsuki looked ahead. The gates were absolutely nothing like those of Suna. While the Suna gates was a gap in the huge cliff that surrounded the whole village, Konoha actually had wooden gates, one with the hiragana symbol for "A" on it, "n" on the other. On the archway above the gates was the leaf symbol which was on her guides' forehead protectors. So this was Konoha.

"Here we are, Ginger." Sakino turned to the guards at the top of the gate, "OPEN ON UP! TEAM EIGHT, WE BRING THE SUNA VISITOR!"

Everyone cheered when they heard Sakino's voice and were screaming for the gates to be opened quicker.
Aiko just waited with Michio and Toshiro, their team was supposed to greet the visitor and Team 8.

"Don't call me Ginger," said Katsuki absent-mindedly, her attention actually focused on the gates which were opening. She wasn't sure whether to be excited or worried...

"Don't worry. The whole town aren't like Sakino." Tai grinned, whispering in her ear.
"I heard that, Blondie." Sakino muttered as a crack in the gates appeared and she smirked when she saw the whole town waiting behind them

Aiko, Michio and Toshiro rose and walked down towards the opening in the gate, waiting for Sakino to come through.
Aiko could see them, the visitor was a girl... no older than herself and red hair from the looks of it.
Team 8 were bickering sarcasticly as usual, she could tell. The visitor seemed... cold... like cold-hearted... it gave Aiko the shivers and she jumped in the air when Michio rubbed her shoulders, "wow chill i mean heat up i mean i was just heating you up...." Michio blushed and looked ahead... Toshiro had a huge cheesy grin plastered in his face and Aiko was left frowning...

There were three people around their age waiting for them. Two guys who looked so alike they had to be twins and a pretty blue-haired girl. Katsuki bowed politely to them. "Pleased to meet you. I'm Katsuki of the Sand Village."

Aiko bowed and elbowed both Toshiro and Michio to do the same, "Pleased to meet you, I am Aiko and these are Michio and Toshiro. Inseperatable brothers." Aiko smiled friendly and nodded to Sakino.
"How was your trip ma'am?" Toshiro asked, doing his outer most best to impress Katsuki.

"We got attacked by a sandstorm, three rogue Sand nins and rain. It was all right, I guess," said Katsuki, not really paying attention again. She was lookign around, taking in the scenery of Konoha. It was so different from Suna, so... colourful.

"Yeah, we took the three down and it was Awesome! No need to thank us, Dad. Got it all done and dusted!" Sakei grinned up at Naruto and did the rock hands.

Aiko surpressed her irritation and smiled kindly, she hated it when people werent really paying attention it was so... disrespectful. "Sakino you'll have to tell the Hokage, so he can warn the ANBU."

"Wow and you fought them off? how? you have like no weapons on you." Toshiro asked. But before Katsuki could answer, Aiko stepped in.
"You must be tired, how about we show you where you will be staying during you time here?" Aiko nodded to Sakino. Telling her she would take over from here and telling her to go to the hokage.

"Sure," said Katsuki. She looked at Sakei, Tai and Sakino. "I'll see you guys alter I guess..."

"Thinks she can tell me what to do! Grrr!" Sakino hissed, it was so irritating when Aiko attempted to take charge. Especially over her.
She strode over to Naruto in his chair. Sakura at his side. "Sir, I report that three rogue sand ninja attacked us back in the forest. Only fatalities on there side, sir. The visitor has a unique way of aiding us in her own protection." Sakino nodded at him whilst bowing.

Aiko sighed, "Follow me"
Aiko led Katsuki through the village to a building built for visitors. She knocked on the door and a middle aged men opened, "what can i do for you?"
"This is Team 5 taking Katsuki to her room, please let us in."
"In you come! Welcome to Konoha Katsuki!" the man smiled at Katsuki.

Once on the top floor Aiko pulled out some keys from her pocket, and opened the room door. "There you go, you got a bed a table a mini kitchen a bathroom etc... just press that button there if you need any of us." Aiko explained pointing to a red button in the wall. " Also this is a very secure place and security guards are everywhere so nothing should bother you and also dont try anything stupid." Aiko smiled and left, Michio followed close behind.

"Don't forget the asembly at 6 tonight, either Team 5 or Team 8 will come to get you." Toshiro added while he walk out.

Katsuki sat down and dumped her bag on her bed. She'd just been left on her own with nothing to do. She sighed, and got up to leave herself. She hadn't brought any clothes with her, because Gaara had told her that the climate in Konoha was different from that fo Suna, so she still had to buy some clothes. And she thought she might go see Shikamaru, she knew him at least, since he was married to her aunt Temari.
She opened the door and left, locking the door behind her. She took nothing except her purse and her sack of sand which now hung next to her kunai pouch. She never went anywhere without her sand.

"Good evening Sand Princess. You look lost. Why are you out on your own? Team Five was to take you to your room. Incompentance." Sakino said as she strode down the dusty streets. Hand in her pockets clasping her money pouch and her cell phone. Her mother and father were yet again argueing so she left the house and them to go wander the streets in search of a ramen cup. Instead she found Ginger.

"I'm out to see my uncle. Do you know him? his name is Nara Shikamaru, I'm pretty sure he's a jounin here..." said Katsuki, slightly put out at being called Princess again.

"'Einstein' Nara? Sure, everone knows him. Lives right up the road. Being your escort I'll take you there," Sakino stated and gestured ahead of them up the street.

"Thanks," said Katsuki, even though she was pretty sure the job description was "guide" rather than "escort".
