Chapter 189
[Looking at Sasuke who was sitting still with his head down, Gaara mocked him unceremoniously: "Is this the extent of your existence? Frankly speaking... you are so weak! You are too naive, your hatred is not strong enough... the power of hatred is the power of killing, and the power of killing is the power of revenge... your hatred is weaker than mine! Do you understand what this means... this means that you are weaker than me!"]
[With a roar, Gaara rushed over again, and Sasuke ignored his physical condition and rushed towards Gaara with Chidori Fearless under the stimulation of his words. However, it was still too reluctant. As soon as he jumped into the air, the lightning in Sasuke's left hand weakened instantly. After a heavy collision, the two passed each other and fell on the branches of the opposite tree with their backs facing each other. 】
["If Naruto were here, he would definitely shout that love and protection are the real power!"]
["No wonder I always felt that Naruto and Sasuke were incompatible. Their understanding of power is completely opposite!"]
["How you understand power is not the point. The key is whether you can implement it. Now it seems that Gaara obviously failed to do so. After being changed by Naruto, he became the Kazekage!"]
["You said that, as if the Kazekage is not a good thing!"]
["The Fourth Kazekage is indeed not a good thing!"]
["In fact, there is nothing wrong with the ideas of both sides. It may be Naruto's personality. I'm afraid that Jinchūriki can also gain strength from positive emotions, but there is no reason to say that negative emotions such as hatred and murderous intent should not exist. After all, the reality is just the opposite. In the ninja world, most people rely on negative emotions to gain strength! "]
["So Naruto couldn't convince Sasuke to run to Orochimaru..."]
"Don't compare my hatred with yours... I will definitely kill that man with my own hands..." Sasuke looked at the sky with an extremely cold look, which made Kakashi, who had been paying attention to him, scratch his head in distress. He was really afraid that Sasuke would run to Orochimaru directly without thinking.
[Gaara had a grim smile on his face, but Shukaku's arm collapsed instantly, revealing his right half of his body. At this time, the lightning in Sasuke's hand was still there, and at the same time, the left half of his body was covered with dense black pattern marks.]
[With the power of the curse seal, Sasuke once again gained the upper hand in the attack, but that was it. Gaara was groaning in pain, and the sand extended to the other half of his body and condensed into a Shukaku arm again. However, Sasuke fell down and could not move because of the backlash of the curse seal. He could only look at Gaara who continued to rush over like nothing happened. 】
【Fortunately, an orange figure fell from the sky and kicked Gaara away at the critical moment. It was Uzumaki Naruto who rushed over. 】
["Is this... Orochimaru's curse seal on Sasuke?!"]
["It seems that Orochimaru had contact with him during the Chunin Exam!"]
["Although Gaara is full of momentum, he always suffers losses!"]
["I don't know if Gaara's ability to control sand is a variant of magnetic escape or earth escape, but no matter which one it is, he will suffer losses when encountering lightning escape!"]
["The endurance of the Jinchūriki is too strong. Sasuke finally caused a little damage, and the opponent recovered in minutes!"]
["Naruto is here! It seems that the next opportunity for Gaara to change!"]
["In fact, the time can be roughly deduced from the previous stories. In the Grayer incident, Gaara had already behaved very normally. Before that, he would have had some intersection with Naruto, most likely during the Chunin Exam."]
Gaara calmed down and looked at the sky curtain seriously. Although he has basically returned to normal without Naruto's help, Gaara is still very interested and wants to know how Naruto brought him back to the right path.
‘Let me see how you can save me, my friend...’
[Naruto stood in front of Sasuke, while Sakura and Kakashi’s ninja dog Parker, who came later, anxiously checked Sasuke’s condition. Noticing the curse seal on Sasuke, Sakura immediately remembered the same scene that happened before and became extremely worried. However, Naruto kept shouting her name at this time, disturbing her mood. Sakura immediately turned her head and glared at him and asked, “What are you doing!”]
[Unexpectedly, Naruto pointed at Gaara and asked with a confused look on his face, “Who is this guy...?”]
[Although he was speechless, the ninja dog Parker still pointed out Gaara’s identity. Naruto recognized him. Thinking of what Gaara had told him before that there was a monster living in his body, Naruto immediately connected it with the current Gaara. ]
[“Naruto, don’t be stupid at this critical moment!”]
[“Humph! A certain female MingYou can recognize the other person by smell when the star is wrapped tightly, but now you can't recognize this person because he has only changed half of his face!"]
["Uh, is there any problem with this? If Naruto can easily recognize men by smell, I will doubt that there is something wrong with him!"]
["This memory... No wonder he forgot the mission location and content before!"]
["The brain is probably occupied by words like effort, dream and goal!"]
Naruto looked at Gaara beside him, and then compared him with the hideous face on the sky, and muttered: "I will definitely remember it next time..."
[Sasuke did not forget Kakashi's reminder and tried his best to suppress the curse seal, so he pulled the wound on his body and vomited blood continuously. At this time, Gaara, who had recovered, looked at Naruto and murmured: "You... are the person I didn't kill at that time..."]
[Naruto looked at the monster-like Gaara with horror, and once again remembered the way he was full of murderous intent and talked about the motive for killing before, so With a sudden turn, Sakura and the others fled, but they didn't expect Gaara to suddenly move and rush directly towards Sasuke who couldn't move. 】
[Naruto didn't have time to stop him, so Sakura, who was also in Gaara's attack range, forgot her fear and stood up to block Sasuke. Looking at her nervous but determined eyes, Gaara suddenly remembered Yashamaru's face, slightly retracted his strength, and the huge Shukaku claw pressed Sakura heavily against a tree trunk. 】
["It's obviously only state 1, why does it feel that the side effects of the curse seal on Sasuke are much more serious than those of the Sound Four?"]
["Isn't it obvious? Sasuke must have to wait until he agrees to join Orochimaru's men before he can give him the curse seal with less side effects. Otherwise, if Sasuke continues to stay in Konoha after taking the curse seal, Orochimaru will lose a lot!"]
["Hey, Naruto's state is not right. Why does he seem to be afraid of Gaara!"]
