Chapter 3: Training

He also didn't forget to do some work out and sand experiments during these 3 days. And now, he's currently at the training ground with his father.

….

"Looks like you've recovered your strength." - (Rasa) said as he blocked Gaara's sand attacks.

Gaara spread his hands out in front of him. Sand around him rose up in the air and formed very compact and small drill-like bullets. With the wind style jutsu he learned from his father before, he added a spinning motion to his bullets and shot it towards Rasa at such a high speed which can kill half @ss chunin.

Rasa was surprised by this. Not only was this attack different from Gaara's normal attacks, it is more accurate and faster than he should be able to do.

"Take that you bastard!" - (Gaara) yelled.

As the bullets flew towards Rasa, his gold sand moved and protected him.

The attack and the wall of gold sand collided. As Rasa had expected, the sand bullets were crushed to smithereens by the impact.

"Tsk!" - (Gaara)

Gaara hopped and the sand caught him mid air. But before he could fly, something wrapped itself around his left leg. The sand from his gourd doesn't even have enough time to protect him. Then he was suddenly pulled and slammed to the ground.

The gold sand lifted him in the air and slammed him again and again and tossed him like trash, causing him to spit some blood.

'Fūck! Here I thought no one had been able to injure me before the chunin exam!' - (Gaara)

"You've changed quite a bit, huh. You're not mindlessly attacking like a maniac unlike before." - (Rasa) said indifferently, standing in front of Gaara.

"Well, seeing you fight with Shukaku made me realize that the way I am won't be able to kill you. But don't worry, your death will be soon." - (Gaara) said as he wiped the blood on his mouth.

"Hn, big words coming from you. Let me see what else you got." - (Rasa)

Then proceeded the one-sided beatdown and some jutsu lessons which were drilled to Gaara's bone.

–5 hours later–

"You still have a lot to learn. You rely too much on your sand shield that automatically protects you. At this rate, you wouldn't last long in a war before even transforming. Anyway, make sure to go to the hospital before going home. We will be continuing your training tomorrow." - (Rasa) said before leaving with body flicker, leaving the battered Gaara laying on the ground.

'He's literally abusing me. But I can't say that this is not the best way to get stronger. Training directly under one of the kages is one of the greatest privileges not many shinobi can have. But still, fūck him! He didn't even bring a medic-nin before coming here and then beat me to death.' - (Gaara)

After resting for a few minutes, he left the training ground and went to the hospital, but not before "asking" a patrolling chunin to carry him. The chunin looked like he's about to shit himself when he saw Gaara which looked really funny. He doesn't really have enough strength nor chakra right now to go on his own.

Not long after, they arrived at the hospital.

"Thanks." - (Gaara) said as he patted the arm of the chunin.

"R-right!" - (Chunin) exclaimed and immediately left.

–5 days later–

The next succeeding days they continue their training. Rasa also adjusted the time of their training to morning so that Gaara is fully charged and has enough strength. Like last time, he always went home exhausted but not enough to make him sleep and can recover the next day.

During his free time, which is also his recovery time, he just brings books from their library and reads it in his room.

Right now, he just finished his training so he's reading a book while relaxing in his bathtub.

"Hmm, so basically, Shukaku is the weakest among all the tailed beasts." - (Gaara) read out loud while massaging his chin like he just learned something new.

Inside his head, he could hear a squeaky hoarse voice shouting at him.

"What did you say, brat?! Come here and let me tear you apart!!" - (Shukaku)

"Nah, I'm fine." - (Gaara) said as he flipped another page of the book floating above him and took a sip on the cup of milk which was also floating. He's really in a relaxing state right now, like a boss.

"Youuuuu!!" - (Shukaku)

Since he couldn't really think of an idea to have a partner relationship with Shukaku, he just pisses him off as revenge for not letting him sleep even once and distracting him in his everyday life.

"Haaah, this is really nice." - (Gaara) groaned as he soaked his body in the warm water.

"You ok there, Chub? Are you sure you don't want to relax here as well?" - (Gaara)

"What did you call me?!" - (Shukaku)

"Oh! Sorry. It's not like you can fit here. I forgot how fat you are. Hahaha! - (Gaara)

"You!! Rwahhhhhhh!!" - (Shukaku) roared or squeaked angrily.

–2 years later–

Just like that, years have passed quickly to which Gaara spent his days training, reading books, and annoying Shukaku. Shukaku has a really short temper and childish personality so it was quite fun annoying him from time to time.

–In a plane full of nothing but sand–

In this desert full of gigantic poisonous/venomous creatures that can kill anyone with one scratch and endless deathly sand storms, there could be seen a silhouette of a small child wandering in this dangerous night.

At a closer look, even small scratches couldn't be found on the child's body. Considering the climate and creatures lurking in this place, it makes sense that the child is still alive.

This child is the youngest son of the 4th Kazekage. According to his father, he already has the strength of an elite jounin. He's currently 8 years old and it will not be too surprising if he becomes the most powerful shinobi Suna has ever produced in history once he grew up.

After the rampage of the one-tail, he has shown rapid growth, so incredible that it scares even his father. This made the council members worried as to what calamity he might cause once he went out of control.

They feared that he might be the one-tail all along and was just waiting for an opportunity to slaughter all of them. So, they put him on a test to see his response.
