Garra's Journey: This arc would involve Naruto going to the sand village because tsunande sends him there for no reason at all. Naruto meets up with Garra whose going throughout the sand village in an attempt to learn about his father the late KazeKage. Garra is not quite sure how to deal with his death so he wants to understand what kind of person his father was. Was he really as cruel and cold hearted in life as he was to Garra? Garra travels throughout the sand village and speaks with various people from the village. Some are ninja's, others are local shop owners, some are magistrates and political leaders. Each one he visits reveals a different aspect that he never quite knew about his dad. He finally confronts Temari and Kankuro and asks them what their experiences were like with his mother and father.
Sorry, I guess I just don't buy into the fact that Gaara would give a shit about who his dad was or spend time travelling around gathering information like that. Like Jadugar said, it sounds a bit like a role-playing game, with Gaara as the main character. Although Gaara has learned the importance of other people, I don't think he would quickly decide to start depending on them. He's a loner at heart no matter what, and comes to conclusions on his own based on what he witnesses. Didn't mean to flame you or anything, but it just occured to me that you're just asking people to write fanfics, which I hate more than anything. The sunrise at the end of your first attempt was just so corny it made me laugh [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

I like Onineku's idea so far. Seems the most filler-ish.
