Gaara (Part 2)

Looking at Gaara eating an apple with a happy face, Zhang Miao suddenly felt that the people of Sunagakure were really sick.

Especially Rasa, the most sick person was him!

He clearly knew that the seal on Gaara was unstable. Not only did he not care about him, but he also treated him as a failure and sent people to assassinate him. In the end, he even used the death of Yashamaru to stimulate him to see if he would lose control.

Instead of healing his son's wound, he tore the wound and poured dirty water into it. All for the sake of testing Gaara's immunity.

He was simply too stupid!

Under such circumstances, even a jinchuuriki with the Eight Trigrams Seal would still go berserk!

"They didn't know the worth of this treasure. The people of Sunagakure are really stupid beyond redemption. They deserve to be suppressed by other countries. It's just that I pity this child!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao put his hand on Gaara's head again and spoke to him with a smile as he rubbed it.

"Gaara, do you feel lonely?"

"Lonely?" Hearing this, Gaara immediately let go of the half-eaten apple and looked at Zhang Miao with a puzzled face. "What is that?"

"Eh..." Zhang Miao thought for a while, then smacked his lips. "Loneliness is the uncomfortable feeling you felt when no one wanted to play or speak with you."

"Oh, I see.."

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Gaara immediately nodded and then touched his heart. "Well, everyone is afraid of me. They don't play with me and don't talk to me. I am very lonely every day and it hurts here, but..."

Speaking of this, Gaara immediately smiled at Zhang Miao again.

"But after seeing Ryunosuke, I feel so happy and not lonely anymore!"

"Is that so?" Seeing Gaara's smile, Zhang Miao smiled back and then rubbed his hair again.

"Gaara. When you feel lonely in the future, look at the sand around you. Because this sand is your mother's love for you. She has been protecting you all this time!"

"My mother?" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Gaara suddenly widened my eyes. "Is my mother protecting me with this sand?"

"Yes!" Looking at his surprised look, Zhang Miao nodded with a smile.

"You don't need to control these sand to automatically protect you. It is called the Sand of Protection. It's the materialization of your mother's will. So, you are a child who is loved by your mother, Gaara!"

"Mother!" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Gaara's eyes immediately became wet, and tears flowed down his cheeks.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao immediately held him in his arms and gently patted his back.

"You can cry. After crying, you have to be strong. Don't cry so easily. Because once a human runs out of tears, he will turn into an evil demon and become a monster. Then, he will die miserably!"

Zhang Miao gently held up Gaara's face and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes while smiling at him.

"So, if you encounter unhappy things in the future, just laugh. You can laugh arrogantly. After laughing, you can crush those who dare to hurt you and make them repent in the tenth level of hell!"

"Okay!" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Gaara immediately nodded, "I understand. I will listen to you. Don't leave me behind, okay?"

Looking at Gaara looking at him with expectation, Zhang Miao once again thought of Naruto who was far away in Konoha. The two different faces gradually overlapped in his mind. He immediately closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened his eyes again, the expression on his face became firm. He did not answer Gaara immediately, but touched his little head again.

"You are still too young, so you still don't understand a lot of things. But you will someday. Before that, just follow behind me and follow my footsteps. Then find your own path and follow me!"

At this point, Zhang Miao stood up and walked in the direction of the Kazekage building. Seeing this scene, Gaara stood up and prepared to follow, but before he could take a step, a voice sounded behind him.

"Gaara, don't go!"

Hearing this voice, Gaara immediately stopped and turned to look at the person not far behind him. 

"Yashamaru?"

It turned out that the person who appeared at this time was none other than Karura's younger brother, Gaara's uncle, Yashamaru.

Looking at Yashamaru that appeared, Zhang Miao also stopped and turned around.

"Seeing you standing there for more than half an hour, I thought you would not come out. So, what are you trying to do now?"

Yashamaru seemed to lack a good impression of Zhang Miao. After hearing his words, he did not respond to him. Instead, he looked at Gaara again.

"Gaara. It's time for lunch. Come back with me!"

"That..." Hearing Yashamaru's words, Gaara immediately turned to look at Zhang Miao with a pleading look in his eyes.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Miao could only shake his head helplessly.

"I really can't do anything about you. You can go back first. I'll wait for you here in the afternoon!"

"Um!" After hearing Zhang Miao's words, Gaara immediately nodded and then happily followed Yashamaru back.

Watching the two enter a house not far away, Zhang Miao shrugged his shoulders.

"It seems that if I want to kidnap the little raccoon from Yashamaru, I have to put in more effort. But it's fine. Anyway, I have plenty of time. Well, it's time to see the Kazekage."

At this point, Zhang Miao's figure suddenly disappeared from where he was.

Not long after Zhang Miao disappeared, the door of Gaara's house opened. Yashamaru walked out with a worried face.

"It's the Body Flicker Jutsu. Who is this child? What is his purpose in coming into contact with Gaara? No, he is too dangerous. I have to report to the Kazekage immediately!"

Thinking of this, he immediately turned around and grinned at Gaara, who was holding a bowl of porridge. "Gaara, eat well. I need to go out for a bit!"

"Okay!" Hearing his words, Gaara immediately nodded.

"Yashamaru, you have to come back quickly!"

"Okay!"

Yashamaru agreed and walked out. After closing the door, he quickly rushed towards Kazekage's office.

He was very fast. In less than five minutes, he arrived at Rasa's office. However, before he could knock on the door, he heard a familiar voice coming from inside.

"Father-in-law, just give your daughter to me. You don't have to care too much about the dowry. I am not greedy. You can just give me 80-100 tons of gold dust. Eh... Father-in-law, your expression is a bit weird. Are you feeling unwell? Sigh... Father-in-law, don't go..."

When the sound was getting closer, the office door suddenly opened. Looking at Rasa's bitter face behind the door, Yashamaru's face immediately flashed with a trace of embarrassment.

"Uh… It's me, Lord Kazekage!"

Rasa: "…"
