Chapter 72: Gaara (Part 2) (Chapter 2)

Gaara, who returned home, didn't stay in his room but sat on the roof.

"In the end, it didn't go smoothly at all. Why am I the only one who became such a monster?" Gaara thought painfully, holding his head with both hands: "What exactly am I?" He recalled what Yashamaru had said and wept softly.

At this moment, many kunai appeared behind Gaara, rushing directly toward him...】

Temari, Kankuro, and Baki, who were familiar with Gaara, all turned their heads to the other side, unable to bear watching. They knew how the plot would develop next, and they even knew exactly who was going to assassinate Gaara! Before, they thought there was no problem with this test, but after getting to know Gaara, they realized this experiment was a bit too harsh. Not to mention Gaara was still a child, even an adult might not be able to accept it!

Seeing everyone's reaction, Karura had a very bad premonition. Looking at the familiar figure in the video, she prayed silently for Gaara!

【In front of the angry Gaara, the assassin couldn't resist at all. Soon, he was seriously injured by Gaara. Looking at the bandage on the other party's ring finger, Gaara's whole body began to tremble violently. He swallowed, walked over tremblingly, and uncovered the assassin's veil.】

After seeing the assassin, Gaara's face became even uglier, cold sweat dripping, and his eyes revealed disbelief.

"Master Gaara." Yashamaru was covered in blood, but he didn't seem to care at all, greeting him as usual with a slight smile.

Gaara covered his heart with his right hand, unable to say a word.】

"Sure enough..." Karura's eyes began to moisten. Her own son killed her own brother—what an ironic thing! And she was experiencing all of this now.

Kankuro and Temari held their mother's hand, opening their mouths slightly! But they couldn't say anything. They knew this was just the beginning, and the most painful part was still to come.

【In the video, Gaara's tears kept flowing, his hands holding his head in pain.】

"Why, why exactly? Why did you want to kill me? Why! Why?" Gaara said while crying, his mind constantly flashing with what Yashamaru had said: "You always take care of me, protect me, how could it be you, Yashamaru?"

"This is an order." Yashamaru looked at the sky and said: "Because someone entrusted me to assassinate you—it is your father, the Kazekage."

"It's my dad?" Gaara covered his mouth in disbelief, and he began to vomit from excessive sadness. "It's dad, why, why do you want to kill me?"

"Master Gaara, who was born in a state of being possessed by the Sand Spirit Shukaku, has been protected as an experimental subject until now. But because Master Gaara cannot control the power of the living spirit Shukaku—that is, the power of sand—he will sooner or later become a threat to the village, to prevent it from happening..." Yashamaru answered weakly!

"Then you were forced, under my dad's orders," Gaara said humbly.】

Many people couldn't bear to watch anymore. At this time, as long as they lied to Gaara and told him "Yes," many things could be saved. But even such a small, humble request was ruthlessly crushed by the Fourth Kazekage.

【"It's not, it's not like that. This is indeed an order from the Kazekage. If I wanted to refuse, I could have refused!" Yashamaru said weakly: "Master Gaara, I think in the corner of my heart, I must have hated you. I have always hated you, because you were exchanged for the life of my favorite sister. I treat you as a relic left by my sister, trying hard to make myself like you, but I can't! In fact, my sister didn't want to give birth to you at all!"】

"Stop talking!" At this moment, Karura suddenly shouted loudly. The people of the Sand Village were still immersed in the video and were startled by the sudden sound. But Karura didn't pay attention to them, instead looking straight at Yashamaru and saying: "Why did you lie to Gaara! When did you ever see me not want to give birth to Gaara?"

"I..." Yashamaru saw his sister so angry for the first time and couldn't speak for a moment.

"Baki, tell me, what exactly is going on!" Seeing Yashamaru not speaking, Karura aimed her target at Baki.

"This is actually an order from the Fourth Kazekage, to test whether Gaara can control Shukaku in a desperate environment..." Baki answered.

"Rasa? How could Rasa be so cruel? That is his child. How old is he? Why let him experience these..." Saying this, she squatted down, hugging her legs and crying.

Temari, Kankuro, and Baki saw such a Karura for the first time and were in a panic for a moment.

"Is Rasa too cruel? Such an experiment might not even be acceptable to an adult, let alone a child," Minato sighed on the side of the Hokage Building!

Kushina on the side was already trying her best to hold back her tears! When she was a Jinchuriki, because the Nine-Tails didn't cause too much damage to Konoha, and with the care of the First Hokage's wife, Uzumaki Mito, her life wasn't too miserable. But seeing this video today, her worldview was truly refreshed!

Rasa, as a father, could be so cruel to this extent, and the high-level officials of the Sand Village clearly knew about this, but no one came out to stop him! Gaara, who had a father and siblings, was treated like this, so what about her own child who was all alone? Could he get better care?

For a moment, Kushina began to panic. Just as Kushina was letting her imagination run wild, the video kept playing.

【Gaara, who had lost control, was controlling the sand, frantically rushing toward his forehead. A moment later, the character "Love" appeared on Gaara's head. Gaara's eyes no longer had a trace of warmth, full of slaughter and hatred. "As long as I love myself, and as long as I fight for myself, that is Gaara, that is me." Gaara's mind constantly flashed with many images, everyone looking at him with cold eyes, including his father, brother, and sister!】

"I finally understand. I am alone. I will never believe in anyone again! And I will not love anyone. I am alone. That's right, I am all alone." ===== CHAPTER 74 =====
