Naruto was feeling the effects of not having Kurama there, and not having access to his chakra. It was strange, to feel so lost and yet not having any feelings of sickness over it. He was sure if he were stripped of the bijuu back home, well... It didn't bear thinking about it.

He watched Gaara carefully until there was a staff back in his hand, and deeming him 'safe and unhurt', Naruto turned away, eyes on the skies. At least until he was asked a question.

"Huh? Oh - yeah sometimes, but I heard someone say this was big. This whole place is massive, so I bet there's gonna be loads."
