Chapter 192
[After instilling all the lies into Gaara in one breath, Yashamaru dutifully made the final move and detonated the detonating tag in the vest to complete the task assigned by the Kazekage. ]
[Although the explosion was powerful, it was not intended to hurt Gaara. With the protection of the sand, Gaara knelt on the spot without any damage, crying and howling, and kept thinking of what Yashamaru said to him about love. ]
[Suddenly, Gaara's eyes became fierce, and he roared and manipulated the sand to carve a word of love on his forehead: 'Only love yourself, only fight for yourself, this is Gaara, this is me, I finally understand... I am lonely! I won’t trust anyone anymore, and I won’t fall in love with anyone anymore. I’m lonely... Yes, I’m lonely...’]
[“Although many people have already scolded me, I still want to scold the Fourth Kazekage again, saying he’s an idiot. He sent a capable subordinate to die just for some test!”]
[“You guys in Sand Village can’t afford the salary, so you use this method to control the number of ninjas!”]
[“If you don’t want them, send them to us. It doesn’t matter if they are not strong enough. At least they are pleasing to the eyes!”]
[“After this set of punches, let alone a four or five-year-old child, anyone would go crazy and lose control!”]
[The cold eyes in the memory are exactly the same as the eyes of Gaara, who has transformed into a half-tailed beast at this time. Naruto’s body trembled slightly under such eyes. 】
【"What's wrong! Aren't you going to run away!" Gaara kept pressing Sakura against the tree trunk, looked at Naruto and asked viciously: "What are they to you?"】
【This question naturally does not need to be thought about. Naruto pointed at him and pretended to be calm and shouted: "He... They are my companions! If you dare to hurt them again... I will kill you..."】
【Seeing that Naruto was timid, Gaara increased the strength of his hands without hesitation, causing Sakura to scream: "What's wrong? Aren't you going to kill me!"】
["What did Naruto see through Gaara's eyes that made him so scared!"]
["This is the first time I see Naruto so unconfident when he says the word companion!"]
["Gaara, you should take it easy. If Sakura is really hurt, Naruto may go crazy immediately!"]
【Although he was very scared, Naruto couldn't watch Sakura get hurt, so he rushed towards Gaara with a slightly stiff movement. But this level of attack didn't even require Gaara to do anything, he just swung his tail and sent Naruto flying. 】
[Sasuke struggled to get up, looking at Naruto who fell in the bushes and wondering: 'This is not like the usual Naruto... What happened between the two of them? ']
[Naruto was anxiously thinking about how to rescue Sakura, and suddenly he thought of the summoning technique he had just learned, so he couldn't wait to use it, but what he summoned was not the imagined Gamabunta, but the little toad Gamakichi. 】
["Naruto, you are not in good condition!"]
["Shouldn't you start with Shadow Clone? Were you so scared that you even forgot your signature ninjutsu!"]
["So what is Naruto afraid of!"]
["I find that this kid is very good at making fun of serious occasions like this, and he uses the same trick!"]
["You don't practice the summoning technique well enough, and you can only summon a small toad every time!"]
"What are you doing..." Naruto grinned with a bit of toothache. Although he had already acknowledged Gaara's identity as a friend, he didn't want to lose to the other party, and in such a embarrassing way.
Gaara saw it more clearly. Naruto should win the next battle, otherwise he didn't think that he would listen to Naruto in that state.
[Naruto's face immediately changed and he started to curse at Gamakichi. Seeing Naruto who was helpless and could only play tricks, Gaara immediately became impatient: "Companion! It's ridiculous..."]
['I only fight for myself! ’】
【Accompanied by Gaara’s roar, the sand completely covered his upper body. At this time, Gaara looked like a small tailed beast. He broke the arm that was holding Sakura, leaving only a ball of sand wrapped around her, and then said to Naruto: "If you don’t defeat me, you can’t get rid of the sand that is entangled with that woman! Not only that, the sand will get tighter and tighter as time goes by, and then it will kill that woman!"】
[“Look at Gaara’s state, he might release Shukaku completely!”]
[“Well... No way, if Shukaku really comes outHow can Naruto deal with it with his current strength!"]
["Although Naruto occasionally uses the Nine-Tails' chakra, he can only use a little bit each time, and it is impossible for him to defeat the fully-formed tailed beast!"]
["Logically, Naruto should have gone crazy after seeing Sakura injured, but that inexplicable fear greatly hindered his performance!"]
["Even his companions are no longer useful, it's time to use the ultimate killer move of "the dream of becoming a Hokage"! ”]
[Temari, who was watching the battle, also felt something was wrong: ‘He is getting closer and closer to the perfect form... Although he hasn’t used the fading technique yet, if he continues, even I will...’]
[Naruto was extremely anxious, but he still couldn’t move under Gaara’s gaze. However, Gaara had no intention of waiting. He crossed his two huge Shukaku arms in front of him, and then suddenly spread them out, and dozens of sand shurikens shot straight at Naruto.]
[Although he protected Gamakichi in time, Naruto himself was knocked away by Gaara’s attack and hit a big tree heavily. Fortunately, Naruto’s skin was thick and he got up again after a little rest, looking at Gaara, who was stretching his body like a beast, with a serious expression.]
[“The fading technique... I remember that Rasa, who was resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, mentioned this move last time!”]
[“It seems that after using this move, you can use the power of Shukaku. Judging from the current development, the perfect tailed beast may really appear! ”]
[“Now Naruto doesn’t know how to use the Rasengan. The only things he can rely on are his Shadow Clone and summoning. Can he fight the tailed beasts with these?”]
[“If he can summon a giant toad, it’s not impossible to fight the tailed beasts!”]
[“Naruto is really strong. Look at Sasuke who has been vomiting blood. Naruto is fine except that he is a little dirty!”]
