[Naruto] Can one still die without the Sharingan?

The days lately have been surprisingly dull.

As usual, Gaara came to play with Uchiha Shizu when he had nothing to do. As usual, Yamabaze held down the worried Inuzuka Hana and calmly took root together, turning a blind eye to his companion's unusual behavior.

However, there are still a lot of abnormal things.

For example, Feng Ying suddenly fell silent and didn't look for her for nearly half a month.

For another example, after helping people who could not sleep properly to sleep peacefully, Uchiha Shizu began to suffer from insomnia.

In fact, her basically communicative and natural physique has long been out of the scope of ordinary humans. Not to mention not sleeping, even not eating is not a problem. She only needs a small amount of water, and she can survive and grow like ordinary people.

But that way, it looks too much like a real plant.

Therefore, in order to preserve the knowledge that he is still a human being, even so, Shizuka Uchiha will still eat and sleep like ordinary people, pretending that nothing happened.

But not long after she set foot on the Land of Wind again, Uchiha Shizu, who never dreamed, began to have the same dream over and over again.

In that dream, she was barefoot and wearing a snow-white plain kimono, walking on a muddy road. The light was a little dark, and she couldn't see the muddy water or the road clearly, but she could clearly see the pieces of white bones exposed in the mud.

In her dream, she was picking up bones on the ground as she walked.

1...2.

"All 54 people have been found."

The voice in the dream was quiet, very similar to hers, but suddenly, the voice was filled with regret and doubt.

"No, children have more bones than adults..."

She started picking again, until she found that the plain white kimono on her body was dyed a rotten and smelly dark red.

After that, she raised her head and saw a tall, familiar woman not far away.

"Mother?"

The voice sounded again. When she heard the voice, the woman turned around. It was a familiar face, but it was not her mother.

but herself.

The strange dream repeated again and again, and now Shizuo Uchiha no longer dared to sleep. She turned on a small lamp to read in the small cubicle of her room, but she didn't dare to turn it on too bright. She was afraid that the light that slipped out through the crack in the door would arouse the sensitive and fragile child.

This is a reaction accumulated over many years. Even if Shukaku no longer makes crazy noises, his body has already formed a habit. He falls asleep, but does not sleep deeply. The slightest disturbance can wake him up.

Therefore, even if Uchiha Shizu turned on the lights to the darkest tonight and turned over the books without making any sound, the small door of the cubicle was still opened.

"Did I disturb you?"

The visitor shook his head, looking like he was hesitating to speak. Seeing this, he closed the book quietly and sighed softly in his heart.

"how?"

"Is it because of me that you don't sleep?"

Gaara frowned, and Jing found that although this kid had no eyebrows, he really liked to frown.

"No." Without any modification, Uchiha Shizuku gave the most decisive negative gesture.

"Why do I need to sleep for so long before I'm alive? With this time, I can learn a lot more."

"..."

"But you can't, kid, you're still growing."

The kid stopped refuting. He sat down opposite her and looked at her steadily.

Uchiha Shizu, this person from Konoha. He didn't know her details, her complete strength, or her purpose. But this ignorant person can give people an extremely strong sense of security, like a backer.

It's ridiculous that he actually found this feeling in a foreigner that he couldn't even find in his own father.

Gaara finally spoke.

"Can you help me?"

"What?" Jing was startled.

"Shukaku." Gaara's voice was a little uncertain.

Uchiha Shizuo didn't answer immediately. She looked at the child in front of her. There was no change on her face, but there were waves in her heart.

Therefore, Feng Ying stayed there for half a month, but it turned out that he had changed his way and was waiting for her here.

Do you want to abandon that mysterious force and turn to be friends with Konoha, or do you want to weave a big net that will wrap everyone in and prepare to catch them all?

Or maybe this is just a helpless request from a child in desperate situation...

Seeing the hard-won light in the eyes of the child in front of her gradually dimming, she couldn't bear it after all.

"How can I help you?" Looking at his eyes that lit up again, he looked serious. Rather than ‘What do you want me to help you with? ’, her answer undoubtedly brought the two closer together again.

Gaara didn't answer immediately, as if it was difficult to say the next words. Jing could see his concerns and sighed.

"I can't change your seal. The system of sealing is related to the foundation of a country. I... am a member of Konoha after all." Jing was very honest, "I'm sorry, this matter is too big."

"I understand." Gaara nodded.

"Then, what else can I help you with?" Jing asked, and then added, "What do you want?"

what do you want?

Gaara smiled. He suddenly covered the word "love" on his forehead, and his whole body trembled silently with his movements. When he regained his composure and looked up again, the content in his eyes had changed.

Because of Shukaku, he was hated, rejected, "tested" repeatedly, denied, and abandoned.

He had almost never had anything in this life, and each incident that followed took away all the little things he had.

What does he want? He once needed everything and wanted everything.

But now, he also wanted to ask himself something.

What exactly do you want, yourself?

To be honest, Jing has seen eyes like this a lot. In those who are exhausted for their country, it is a kind of helpless fatigue.

The nine-year-old boy in front of him already had such a look in his eyes.

He is too tired.

"I want to leave it." Gaara said, "Let it go, and let me go."

This guy means business. Jing looked into his eyes and suddenly had such an idea, but it was even more impossible for her to agree to this kind of thing.

"Let it go..." Jing sighed, "Do you know the meaning of the tailed beast's existence?"

"It's not just a weapon, it's a tool of combat. It's also a deterrent."

"..."

"Sunagakure Village released its tailed beast. Once this news is leaked, do you know what will happen? The trigger of the Third Ninja World War was the disappearance of the third Kazekage. The Kage is like this, let alone the tailed beast."

Seeing Gaara lowering his head and saying nothing, the seriousness in Jing's tone gradually disappeared.

"Besides, you should know that the jinchūriki will die once they leave the tailed beast. But... do you know why?"

He shook his head.

"Because human chakra is too weak for tailed beasts, just like a bucket of water and a river. If the river dries up, you cannot survive alone with a bucket of water. Therefore, the jinchūriki will die."

"Son, you'll die if you do that."

Uchiha Shizu's words were originally intended to make Gaara give up this terrible idea, but she unexpectedly received a very strange reply.

Gaara looked up, the look on his face changing.

"So, what you're saying is that as long as the Jinchuriki becomes as strong as the tailed beast, or even stronger than it, then you won't die again if you are separated from it?"

"Theoretically, yes." Jing suddenly regretted saying these words, "But you also have to think..."

"Even if there is no real tailed beast to deter me, then I, my existence..."

Gaara suddenly stood up, as if a beam of light suddenly burst out of the dark fog ahead, and he desperately wanted to catch it.

"Don't get excited!"

Jing suddenly realized that except for those in her own family, she seemed unable to persuade anyone else. If she tries to persuade anyone to quit, or if she refuses to quit, her head will get big.

"Even then, you will eventually die one day. When you die, what will you do after that?"

Gaara, he was silent for only a moment.

"I have a question."

"what?"

"Will the so-called tailed beast's deterrence really work?"

"Of course!" Jing replied without thinking.

"Then, why do the three great ninja wars still happen..."

Jing fell silent. The reason for her silence was of course not that she couldn't answer the question. As a history buff, she was very good at answering it. She could talk about this question for three days and three nights without repeating it.

At this moment, she was thinking about this issue very seriously.

The deterrence of tailed beasts, this issue was mentioned by the Third Hokage, Master Taira said, Itachi said, Shisui said, Tenzo said, Kakashi said, everyone said it, everyone agreed, but At this moment, juxtaposed with this question, many ethereal feelings suddenly arose in my mind, which I couldn't grasp for the moment.

"Thank you, I understand something." Gaara stood up and bowed, "Farewell."

"Wait." Jing suddenly said.

Gaara turned around and said nothing, but there was doubt on his face.

"I promised to help you. Since you have already made up your mind, I won't advise you. When you think that day has really come, if you still trust me, just call me."

"you……"

"No matter where I am, I will come over and help you personally in my name."

This was actually a bit rude, but the light in Gaara's eyes suddenly brightened, and he spoke.

"Thank you."

After saying the serious business, Jing stopped holding it and leaned on the table with a smile.

"So, how do you plan to deal with Shukaku?"

This solution is not the other solution, Gaara understood, and then he frowned, suddenly noticing Jing's unusual attitude.

He turned his head and saw the man looking at him with a half-smile.

"I don't know." So he chose to tell the truth.

"Let's communicate." Jing smiled, "Mr. Shukaku is very easy to talk to."

Gaara was about to retort, but Shizu put a finger in front of his lips and shushed, then spoke in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

"No matter how old he gets, he is still a little kitten...please, what can I do?"

For Gaara, the Kazekage was always under close surveillance. He also knew clearly every move he and Uchiha Shizu had made during this period of time. Sometimes, even he couldn't help but applaud what the girl said, and he already had the answer in his mind for the choice Marki said.

But no one else knows the answer. So when Markie came to see him again, he seemed much calmer. He seemed to casually pull out a reply letter from the file beside him and read through it.

"Marky," he ordered, "call the kid."

"My lord, have you thought about it?"

"I've thought about it." Feng Ying smiled softly, "But I can't let a little girl lead me."

"..."

"Right, Marky."
