And haha, that proves i should write faster. Gaara's been around since the beginning of the chuunn exam arc; they came on his boat, along with his sister, and later on after the first test when they go back to the hotel (before the shower making out thing) they meet him in the street visiting with other high-ranked people. Sakura and Sasuke laugh at Naruto because he just waltzes right in the fray to say hi to the kazekage without even realizing. ;p
