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

But Maki just sneered at us, "Kankuro, Temari, go!"

Neither Shino nor Sasuke knew what Gaara would become. Once he released Shukaku, this area would become a battlefield for him alone.

The people of the Sand Village were obviously well aware of this, so they had no intention of staying and fighting with us.

"Sasuke, Shino, catch up with them!"

Sasuke and Shino immediately chased after Temari and Kankuro-sama. Although I didn't want any of the four of them to get hurt, at this point, I couldn't consider anything else.

Shiranui Genma seemed to have guessed something, with a look of doubt on his face: "Could it be... this guy?! If he is the Jinchūriki of the Sand Village, we must not let him lose control here!!"

There were many people in the examination room who had fallen unconscious due to illusions and could not be evacuated or transferred. Once Gaara went berserk, there would be heavy casualties.

I hurriedly said, "Shiranui-senpai, please go to Sasuke and Shino. They can't spare the energy to deal with that Maki Jonin while dealing with Kankuro-kun and Temari."

Genma Shiranui is of course aware of this, but a suspected Jinchūriki is likely preparing to release the tailed beast, and my identity is not credible enough - comparing the two, the situation here is obviously more serious.

Just as he gritted his teeth and hesitated, Kakashi's teacher's voice came over: "Xuanjian, do as she says, Kai and I are here."

Genma Shiranui and I looked in the direction where the sound came from at the same time, and saw Kakashi teacher standing behind the railing of the viewing platform. Behind him, Might Guy teacher was helping Rock Lee up from the ground - he looked like he had just woken up from an illusion.

Seeing them, Shiranui Genma felt relieved at once, "I'll leave this to you guys!!"

He disappeared from the spot, and Kakashi-sensei instantly appeared beside me, glancing down at the White Fang in my hand.

Perhaps it was because I had already decided not to return it to him, so when I noticed his gaze, I hesitated for a moment, not sure whether out of guilt or nervousness.

But Kakashi-sensei didn't ask me to hand it back: "How are you going to use White Fang?"

I glanced at him, and his white teeth suddenly emitted a dazzling white light. Beyond the white light, there was a layer of blue-green electric light accompanied by the chirping of thousands of birds, entwined around the blade.

"If it's Raikiri... maybe it can break Gaara's Sand Release."

I don't know what Teacher Kai told Xiao Li, and Senior Xiao Li quickly left the examination room. He then landed beside me and looked at me in surprise, "Kakashi! You actually brought White Fang and Raikiri...? That's outrageous!"

"...You have no right to say that to me."

I raised my White Fang and aimed at Gaara.

Before, when using Raikiri, I needed to rush out myself, but now, Raikiri followed the blade of White Fang, turned into a spear, and stabbed towards the direction where the blade was pointing, and penetrated Gaara's sand style in an instant!

I felt a piercing sensation from the tip of the lightning spear, and my heart trembled. I didn't want to think about where I might have hurt Gaara.

The ball of sand seemed to be frozen, but it was more like the silence before the storm. I held my breath, and the next moment, an angry roar burst out.

As the giant beast roared, a huge sharp claw suddenly swung out from the sand ball. Teacher Kakashi quickly grabbed my waist and took me away from the spot.

We jumped onto the viewing platform, and I saw in the corner that Shikamaru had just woken Ino and Choji from the illusion. They were rescuing other unconscious people and urging them to leave quickly.

But is it too late?

They evacuated less than a quarter of the people.

The sand ball that was pierced by the lightning was constantly twisting and expanding. First the claws... then the tail... became bigger and bigger, weirder and weirder...

Like a monster.

Teacher Kai said with a serious expression: "That is indeed..."

"The tailed beast of the Sand Village," Kakashi frowned, "I'm afraid it's the One-Tail!"

I said, "If he goes completely berserk here, many people will die. I want to lead him away."

Kakashi-sensei asked, "What are you going to do?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, he must have realized that he didn't need to ask this because I had already opened my Sharingan.

Teacher Kai was surprised and asked, "Wait, what's wrong with these eyes?!"

I looked at Gaara, "At a time like this, we can no longer do without it."

Sensei Kakashi must have known that I was referring to the Hokage's previous request that I not use the Sharingan. He did not object, and obviously knew how much combat power an extra pair of Sharingan would add to our side when a strange and hostile tailed beast appeared in the center of the village.

Perhaps because the transformation was interrupted by Raikiri, the "monster" on the ground did not completely turn into a tailed beast. His other half still looked like Gaara, and on his shoulder, there was a bloody hole from which blood kept flowing, staining half of his clothes red.

That was the wound left by Raikiri just now.

"Asaro...! Asaro!!!" Gaara howled in anger and pain, "Why are you attacking me?! Why are you fighting me?! We are friends - aren't we friends!?!?"

I couldn't answer him.

I am sorry.

I silently prayed to him in my heart.

The reason we are friends is because I cheated.

I took a shortcut, and maybe this is my punishment.

"Why don't you want to stay by my side? Why don't you want to come with me?"

He turned around and lay on the ground. Half of his face had turned into a beast, and the other half had bloodshot eyes.

Gaara found my location and stared at me fiercely, "Do you want to kill me? Just like Yashamaru - do you want me to die too?!"

Kakashi-sensei said, "He seems to think you betrayed him."

...Yes, because I showed Gaara my "background", he misunderstood. He thought we were partners in the same plan.

Without realizing it, I had done the same thing as Yashamaru—gained his trust, and then had to become his enemy.

"If I want to lead Gaara away," I didn't answer Kakashi-sensei's question, "where should I lead him?"

As a jonin, he knows the situation in Konoha better than I do.

"Go to the direction of the Valley of the End." Kakashi teacher said immediately: "There are few people there and many trees. It can delay his activities for a while. I will go with you."

Gaara leapt high into the air and rushed towards me with an agility that was totally inconsistent with his bulky appearance. In mid-air, his body suddenly grew a lot larger. If he continued like this, his size alone would be enough to break through the building, causing it to collapse.

I took the opportunity to meet Gaara's eyes, "I don't want to kill you, Gaara, and I haven't betrayed you."

He landed in front of me, staring at me, but no longer attacking.

I walked up to him, crouched down, and placed my hand on his paw, which was now obviously much larger than mine, "Come with me, Gaara, stay by my side, follow me."

……

ball……

Gaara sat alone on the swing, staring at the children who were playing ball together not far away.

Suddenly someone beside him asked curiously: "You look like you are glaring at them, do you have a grudge against them? Do you hate them?"

Gaara was surprised because in the Sand Village, no one except Yashamaru dared to approach him, let alone talk to him.

He turned his head and saw a little girl about the same age as himself standing next to him.

She had short black hair that reached her ears, and her eyes were as black as her hair. When she saw him looking at her, she smiled brightly: "Hello, my name is Zhaolu, what's your name?"

……

Gaara's claws were much bigger than my hands, so I could only hold the tip of one of his claws and slowly lead him out of the examination room.

How long will it take to leave the village just by walking step by step like this...

But there is no other way now.

We walked out of the gate and looked up to see a huge barrier opened above a nearby roof. Outside the barrier were many Anbu guarding, and inside the barrier, a figure who looked very much like the Third Hokage could be vaguely seen.

Who is his enemy?

Wind Shadow?

But the Third Hokage had more than one enemy. From afar, I saw at least three figures, two men with long black hair, and one man with short white hair. One of the black-haired figures looked very much like Orochimaru.

Teacher Kakashi was following Gaara and me, and when he saw this scene, his face changed.

"That is……?"

What is that?

I channeled Gaara's spirit and couldn't ask, but I expressed my curiosity with my eyes.

Kakashi-sensei whispered, "Those appear to be the First and Second Hokage."

!

Can the Third Hokage defeat him?

Kakashi-sensei's expression clearly showed that he felt that the Hokage's situation was not optimistic. He lowered his eyes and said, "If necessary... it is also the duty of Konoha ninjas to sacrifice for the village."

He saw me looking at him and suddenly pulled my forehead protector down, covering one of my eyes.

"?"

Fortunately, I can control Gaara so I don't need to keep my eyes on him all the time!

By the time I pushed up the forehead protector, Kakashi-sensei had already looked away. I think he probably couldn't stand seeing my face.

His eyes were cast towards the battlefield where the Hokage was. I couldn't see his expression and could only guess: was he worried about the Hokage's life or was he firmly convinced that the Hokage would be fine?

……

"My name is Gaara..." The young boy's eyes widened, "Do you...know who I am?"

"You know, Gaara from the Sandstorm, super famous! I just moved here a few days ago, and every kid I met told them not to get close to you."

"!"

"So I'm curious, how annoying are you that no one wants to play with you?" Before Gaara had time to feel sad or angry, Chaolu had already moved closer to his face and looked at him carefully, "Well, is it because you don't have eyebrows? It makes you look a little weird and fierce."

"me……"

"Why don't you have eyebrows?"

"It's just born this way..."

"That can't be helped. But if you look closely, you're actually quite cute."

"Cute...really?"

Chaolu seemed to find his reaction very interesting. She smiled and imitated him, saying, "'Really?' Are you stuttering?"

"certainly not!"

"Hahahahaha, I don't think you're annoying at all." She jumped briskly onto the vacant swing next to him, "Why doesn't everyone play with you?"

"I...I can control the sand."

"what?"

"But sometimes... the sand gets out of control, so everyone is scared of me."

"Isn't this the same as superpowers? So cool!" Chaolu's eyes sparkled. "Do you know what superpowers are? There's a new comic book out recently that tells the story of people with superpowers. I think it's very interesting. Are you interested? Do you want to come to my house later? I can lend it to you to read!"
