Naruto: If I ask you to kill Sasuke, you will become a succubus?

But having said that, we soon ran into a group of examinees, and when they saw our exceptionally bloated team composition - including the unconscious Sasuke, there were five of us in total - they were stunned.

There was no need for me to take any action, Gaara's sand directly submerged the opponent.

Judging from the opponent’s forehead protector, he is a ninja from the Hidden Rain Village.

Yuyin Village...

The scroll that Lord Shikamaru and Orochimaru gave me mentioned that the Akatsuki organization was founded in the Hidden Rain Village.

The scroll said that the Hidden Rain Village was very closed. How could such a village send people to Konoha to take the Chunin Exam?

Is the actual controller of the Hidden Rain Village now a person named Nagato?

He harbors a deep hatred for Konoha, but the scroll says that Nagato is not a dangerous person. He is not the kind of person who would kill innocent people unless necessary. Just be careful not to let Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, be caught in the end.

Eh…if he only targets the tailed beasts, isn’t Gaara also a One-Tailed Jinchuriki?

If the Nine-Tailed Fox is the last target to be captured, does it mean that according to the order, the One-Tailed Fox will be the first target to be captured?

Will Gaara be captured? He is so strong——

Did Nagato do it himself?

However, if the tailed beast is stripped away, the jinchūriki will also die. Since Gaara survived until the Fourth Ninja War, it means that the Akatsuki organization should not have succeeded in capturing him.

Yes, at that time Gaara was already the Kazekage. As a Kazekage, he must have been very strong!

Gaara picked up the bamboo-handled umbrella dropped by the enemy from the ground, walked over to me and handed it to me, saying, "Cover it up, or it might splash on you accidentally later."

Splashed on... me?

I held the umbrella handle and watched him prepare to clench his five fingers into a fist. Thinking of his best skill, the sandstorm funeral, I couldn't help but frown subconsciously.

The sand flow that was constantly squeezing inward stopped. Gaara paused and said to the three people from the Hidden Rain Village: "Hand over the scroll, and I can spare your lives."

Watching him tumble away, leaving behind the Scroll of Heaven, I said, "I thought you would crush him..."

"I used to do that, but I was worried that it would scare you."

"I'm not that fragile. I just feel that even though we're enemies, there's no need to... be so..."

"brutal?"

"You're not the kind of person who gets pleasure from killing people."

"..."

"You wantonly vent your anger and hatred on people who are not as strong as you. Then can people who are stronger than you treat you so cruelly? I don't think that's a good idea."

"That's what you would say."

I looked at him worriedly: "Will you do this again in the future?"

If I don't change, there's no way I can become the Kazekage, right?

How did he become the way Kankuro-sama remembered him in the future?

"I think you can become a more remarkable person. If you use your powerful strength to protect others, it will be more effective than killing people indiscriminately..."

What more?

I thought: "It's easier to make friends!"

Lord Kankuro consciously stepped forward and picked up the Scroll of Heaven left by the enemy. He put it back into the mouth of the puppet behind him, and together with Temari, he held his breath and listened to the conversation between Gaara and me.

Gaara thought for a moment, "I don't want to protect those who hate me."

Lord Kankuro: “!”

Temari: "..."

I know that he will become the Kazekage in the future, but I also know that the attitude of the Sand Village towards him is very excessive. Even for me, I feel that it is unfair to persuade him to let go of his anger towards the Sand Village.

I said, "This world is big, there must be someone who likes you. You can choose the person you want to protect!"

Gaara thought for a moment: "The person I choose myself..."

He turned to look at Lord Kankuro and Temari beside him. When they realized his hostility towards the Sand Village, their expressions became complicated and pale.

"But humans are the best at disguising themselves. As you know, a person's heart and actions are not necessarily consistent, and one can never really tell from their appearance. What if I choose someone and decide to trust him, but he betrays me and lets me down?"

No one likes the feeling of being hurt. Even Naruto, who seems heartless, will not show his true heart easily, let alone Gaara, who is more emotionally delicate and sensitive?

After experiencing a fatal blow from Yashamaru, he was more afraid than Naruto of having his trust betrayed.

"Even my brothers and sisters..." Gaara stared at Kankuro-sama and Temari, "on the surface you obey me in everything and speak softly to me, but you are just fawning over me because you are afraid of me. Although you say you are my brothers and sisters, I know you don't like me and wish to stay as far away from me as possible."

Lord Kankuro didn't say anything, but a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face, which proved that Gaara's words were correct - he didn't like this eccentric and unruly younger brother.

Under the forced interference of his father Rasa, Lord Kankuro does not seem to understand what Gaara has been through.

Temari showed an embarrassment and trouble, "Gaara, don't say that..."

She was the eldest sister, and in Gaara's memory, they had played together in the sandpit when they were children.

I think Temari probably remembers Gaara's cute, shy childhood appearance better than her younger brother Kankuro-sama, and therefore has softer feelings towards him.

At this moment, someone in the forest suddenly shouted loudly: "Now!"

Temari seemed to be struck by an invisible presence, and she stumbled and lowered her head.

Kankuro-sama was shocked and said, "Temari?!"

Temari threw away the big fan behind her, drew out a kunai and placed it across Kankuro-sama's neck, and said sternly to Gaara: "Don't move, your companion is in our hands now!"

Gaara murmured softly, "Shikamaru and Ino...right?"

Temari was stunned: "You know our names?"

"The Yamanaka clan's mind-turning technique." Gaara stood beside me, but the shadow under his feet continued to extend into the depths of the woods, motionless: "The Nara family's shadow imitation technique."

Shikamaru did not appear. He controlled Gaara's shadow and could not move easily.

A golden figure rushed over like lightning: "Chaolu! Are you okay?"

I said in surprise: "Naruto!"

Naruto pulled me away from Gaara and glared at him warily: "Let Sasuke go!"

To those who didn't know the truth, it was reasonable to say that Sasuke, who was held in the air by the sand, was being held hostage by him.

"Don't move."

The next figure to appear behind Naruto was Shino.

He was staring at Kankuro: "You are a puppeteer, right? The puppet behind you is already full of my bugs, and even if you condense chakra lines, you will be eaten by my bugs soon, so it's better not to act rashly."

Kiba and Hinata also appeared on the branch. He was sweating coldly. Akamaru curled up in his arms, terrified: "That was a close call... Akamaru was very scared of that red-haired guy with no eyebrows... Shikamaru, you must control him well!!"

Shikamaru's voice came out from the forest in a bad mood: "You, don't just talk nonsense!"

Temari called out to me with concern, "Asahi, are you okay?"

I asked curiously, "How did you meet Naruto?"

"Well, Naruto went to find Shino first, and then Shino found us and said that you met a powerful guy and might be in danger. So we came to rescue you immediately!"

Shino's group was able to find Shikamaru, and then find my whereabouts, which must have been due to Kiba's Akamaru nose tracking and Hinata's Byakugan probing. I looked up at them and smiled in gratitude, "Thank you! I'm sorry for the trouble."

Hinata smiled shyly, lowered her eyes shyly, and said with a grin, "I can't help it. As the boss, my subordinate's girlfriend is in danger, so of course I have to help!"

Shikamaru: "Tsk."

Although he seemed to be at a disadvantage, Gaara did not seem to panic at all. He said calmly: "You can take Uchiha Sasuke away, but not Asaka."
