Chapter 193
[‘Such a lonely look... His eyes... So lonely...’ Looking at Gaara's copper-coin-shaped pupils, Naruto lowered his eyes with an uncomfortable look, because it reminded him of the painful memories in the past: ‘There is also a monster in his body... He is the same as me...’]
[‘At that time, I hated everyone. I didn’t know who I was, why I was hated, and why I existed in this world...’ The young Naruto appeared in the sky, standing on the opposite side of everyone with fierce eyes]
[‘When I knew that there was a Nine-Tails hidden in my body, the people in the village looked even more indifferent, which really made me very painful...’]
[“Uh... I have been guessing what Naruto is afraid of, and the answer is this!” ]
[“I was too naive to try to understand Naruto’s thinking!”]
[“Did he scare himself because of his strong empathy?”]
[“It turns out that Naruto also had hatred when he was a child. I thought he had always been like this!”]
[“Although the contrast is huge, at least it looks more real!”]
[‘But...’ Iruka, Sasuke, Sakura and Kakashi flashed by one after another. Although they were all trivial matters in daily life, Naruto’s originally dull voice immediately became very gentle: ‘They recognized me, so even if the demon fox is in my body, even if the people in the village look at me with indifference, I don’t care... because I am no longer alone! ’]
[‘I never thought that this would be so happy and blissful. I think it’s really...really...really great. I feel relieved that I can stay here. ’]
[‘So every time I think back to the past, I feel creepy. That is not the pain that ordinary people can endure. It is a dark hell! ’】
[“It’s always like this. As long as he thinks of his companions, nothing matters anymore!”]
[“Gaara and Naruto, you two are taking turns complaining here, right? Really, stop posting these things. I don’t want to see the tragic past of other village kids!”]
[“I don’t want to see it either... I feel sick after seeing it too much... I’m so sad...”]
[“Because he is too easily satisfied, Naruto has always been so naive. Otherwise, he should be like Gaara now!”]
[“It’s not that I don’t understand Naruto’s fear of his past experiences, but because the enemy’s eyes remind him of his past, and then he is so scared that he performs abnormally in battle, I really don’t understand the connection between the two!”]
[“It’s okay to be sentimental, but don’t use this talent in this place!”]
Naruto’s expression is a little lonely. Although the comments say that they can understand his fear, only people like him who have truly experienced it will know that such fear is definitely not something that can be described by simple words.
Gaara, who felt the same, noticed the change in Naruto's mood. He carefully reached out his hand, hesitated for a while, and gently patted his shoulder. Facing Naruto's eyes, Gaara said with a slight smile: "Don't you want everyone to agree with you, in order to abandon that fear... Maybe we haven't done it yet, but at least we have seen a clear direction, whether it's you or me... Or, Naruto, you don't have the confidence to do this!"
"Huh!" Being stimulated by this, Naruto immediately raised the corner of his mouth with a bright look: "I won't lose to you, Gaara, that level of fear, look at me easily destroy it!"
[Naruto was lying flat and floating in a dark space. There was a water-like curtain in front of him, and Gaara's figure was reflected in it and faced him. ]
[‘That’s why I can understand...’ Naruto’s forehead knocked against the mirror and broke it. Gaara’s survival philosophy echoed in his ears. His eyes were fixed on Gaara’s monster-like face in reality: ‘Although he doesn’t know what happened, he has been tortured by loneliness and can’t feel at ease. Until now, he can only believe in himself and is still fighting alone in hell...’]
[‘So for this guy... I who get recognition from others may be like a coward in a happy world without tension! Can I really defeat such a guy? ’]
[“Hmm? Naruto’s point of view here is a bit problematic! He seems to think that he is a coward because he escaped from loneliness and got recognition from others?”]
[“So in addition to being afraid of his past experiences, he is also worried about this?!”]
[“Strange, according to the usual Naruto, shouldn’t he think that he is invincible with the recognition of his companions!”]
["Ahem, the time point of the usual Naruto you are talking about should be after the current Naruto!"]
["It seems that Naruto's ideas are constantly changing as he grows up!"]
[The sand wrapped around Sakura tightened again, causing her to scream in pain. Looking at Naruto with an unwilling look on his face, Gaara urged him to act quickly, urging him to use the power he used in the previous battle with Neji. ]
[It's a pity that Naruto's mentality still hasn't adjusted, but in order to save Sakura, he still suppressed his fear and used his shadow clone to rush forward. However, it is obvious that this timid state can't do anything to Gaara. The opponent easily destroyed Naruto's shadow clone with an infinite sand breakthrough and blew his body away. 】
【"I won't kill you. I'll just play with you for a bit. I want to see when you'll abandon your companions and run away, although I won't let you escape." Gaara said the lines of a third-rate villain, and launched a series of attacks on Naruto, who was staggering and barely standing up. 】
["Although he used the shadow clones as cannon fodder just like before, this time there was no momentum at all!"]
["Let's see when he can adjust his mentality, otherwise it's impossible to defeat Gaara!"]
["Tsk, every time it's because of various inexplicable reasons that the enemy doesn't kill Naruto!"]
["Gaara's reasons for doing this are reasonable, but Naruto is really lucky, he has encountered such enemies several times!"]
【Although Gaara deliberately avoided the fatal spot, a normal person would have fallen down long ago after suffering this series of attacks, but Naruto did not fall down after taking all the attacks, and stood up trembling all over: 'What is this feeling? This feeling that surged in my heart...what exactly is it? ’】
