Temari and Kankuro appeared here after Eddie and the others left, with weapons in their hands, and it was their turn to look at Naruto vigilantly.

But although Gaara no longer has the energy, his deterrence against Mari and Kankuro is still so strong.

After he retreated from the two of them, his eyes were neither fierce nor murderous.

After a long time, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was very silent. In the end, Gaara broke the silence.

"He said... your name is Naruto, right?"

Hearing this, Naruto, who had no idea what to say, instantly raised his spirits. He spoke loudly with a smile that seemed to be able to illuminate all the darkness.

"Swhoo!"

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, I swear to be the one who is Naruto!"

Become a Naruto...

We are obviously the same kind of people, and we are all monsters, but why...

Why is the person in front of me so bright, but I am so dark...

Thinking of this, Gaara couldn't help but show a sad expression.

But looking at Naruto who was so bright, Gaara didn't know why, and smiled with him on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Naruto's words made him laugh even happier.

"Hey, are you going to be friends with me?"

friend?

Gaara was stunned when he stopped talking.

friend…

Do people like me deserve friends?

He dared not think that such a thing could really happen to him, and he remembered the tragic experiences he had when he was a child.

Everyone wants to hurt me, everyone is afraid that I will hide from me, and no one will play with me even if I want to make friends on my own initiative.

My father wanted to kill me, but everyone wanted to hurt me.

While they were afraid of me, they needed another tail of strength...

Do I really deserve it?

Gaara fell into deep self-doubt.

Seeing Gaara stop talking, and now he looks low, Naruto walked up to him carelessly, patted his shoulder, and asked again with a smile that was always full of hope and brightness.

"Hey, so do you want to be friends with me?"

Hearing Naruto's words, Gaara looked at him at a loss, but still did not answer.

Seeing that Gaara had not answered for a long time, Naruto stood up.

When Gaara saw Naruto standing up, he suddenly became a little panicked. He wanted to agree to be friends with him, but he didn't know how to speak.

And just when Gaara thought Naruto was leaving, he didn't expect that he would say this.

Naruto said, "Since you don't answer, I will pretend you agreed."

As he said that, Naruto stretched out his fist and wanted to meet Gaara.

Looking at Naruto who was smiling and looking at his fist again, Gaara smiled.

He stretched out his hand to face Naruto's fists, and then returned with a smile: "Okay."

"Yoxi! Then we are friends now!!"

Naruto smiled happily. Gaara had experienced so much suffering, and now he can finally smile happily.

He looked at Naruto tightly, as if he wanted to completely imprint his appearance in his heart.

friend…

I finally have friends too!!

Then, the two who became friends began to share their stories with laughter and joy, just like old friends.

Of course, it was Naruto who was talking, Gaara who was listening.

Gaara was so painful when he was a child, and he didn't want to share his pain with his new friends.

So he was listening to Naruto telling his story.

Even so, the smiles on Gaara and Naruto's faces have not fallen.

Eddie, who was observing Naruto and Gaara in the distance, smiled when she saw this.

When I lit a local cigarette, Eddie thought to himself: It is worthy of being the prince's mouth, it is just strong.

If you change yourself, you will probably have to take the path of "being victorious with virtue" first.

Well, if you use virtue to conquer others, is martial virtue also virtue?

It took a long time to go, Sasuke and Sakura were already bored and kicking the stones. Naruto was coming back.

Looking at Naruto with a smile on his face, Eddie also asked with a smile: "How is it, Naruto, that kid is not bad."

Hearing Eddie's words, Naruto nodded wildly: "Well, Gaara is a very good person, we are friends now!"

Sure enough, Naruto's personal charm has been reflected since childhood.

But what is more true is Sasuke and Sakura's expressions.

They looked at Naruto with a smile on his face, but they didn't say anything.

It was just Sasuke, he felt a little unhappy that he had not officially completed his Chunin exam.

Seeing Sasuke so arrogant, Eddie touched his thorns, and then rushed back in the direction of Konoha with the three.

Of course I have to go back. Now the matter here has been resolved. Then I will report it as a ninja to lead the team. Although I applied to be a ninja for the third generation, it is reasonable to give a task to protect my nephew.

Moreover, the third generation seems to be unable to control themselves anymore. After so long, I think the third generation has died with the first generation and second generation and Orochimaru's hands.

Thinking of this, Eddie glanced at Naruto.

If this kid knew that the third generation had died in battle, he would have been in a bad mood for a few days.

The few people continued to rush on the road and met Asma and others on the way. After the two sides communicated about the enemies they encountered and the battle process, they rushed back directly in the direction of Konoha.

At the same time, there was another team of people rushing back to their village, Gaara and others.

Although it was the tailed beast that was only removed after being hypnotized by Eddie, Gaara is still exhausted and looks weak.

Kankuro and Temari had never seen Gaara so weak.

But watching Gaara have a smile on her face from being taken away until now, this surprised Temari and Kankuro, or were afraid?

Anyway, it's always some inexplicable feelings, and this feeling is like Gaara has become a different person.

After leaving there for a long time, Kankuro looked at Gaara who was still smiling on his back, gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to ask him.

"I Gaara...you...what's wrong with you? Why are you always... laughing?"

Kankuro said stumblingly, and after he gritted his teeth and said it, he seemed to have used all his strength.

He was waiting for Gaara's answer in cold sweat, as if he was waiting for the final judgment.

Temari looked at Gaara with a terrible look on her face, waiting for his answer.

They really have never seen Gaara like this.

But the judgment that Kankuro imagined did not come. Gaara, who was carrying him, was still smiling, as if thinking about something beautiful.

But Gaara in this way makes them feel even more terrible, because Gaara they knows doesn't do this at all. The word "beauty" is like being insulated from him.

But Gaara, no matter what they thought, he just heard him say softly behind Kankuro.

"Ah, nothing, but I made friends."
