Chapter 21
Watching the video of Shukaku constantly breaking apart, the Ninja World was quiet for a while, and then it suddenly shook...
"Win, hahahaha, really win!!"
"I told you, how could the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki not be a match for the One-Tails Jinchuriki? You have nothing to say now, right?"
"Unbelievable, this was such a thrilling battle."
"Others were twelve years old, riding the legendary Gamabunta and fighting the natural disaster Shukaku, but I'm thirty years old now, and I'm still a fucking ninja, wuwuwu"
"Woohoo, I can't hold it anymore. I feel tired when you talk about it. I'm 28 now, and I'm just a little Chunin."
""Siguoyi!"
Sakura couldn't help but mutter as she looked at Naruto defeating Gaara in the picture, her eyes full of shock.
As a member of the same class, she had witnessed Naruto's growth, but it was unbelievable that he could grow so quickly in such a short time. He even defeated an opponent that Sasuke couldn't defeat.
Is he a genius? He just hasn't been discovered yet.?..
Place of cultivation
"Worthy���The ninja who is the most unexpected actually thought of defeating his opponent with a headbutt..."Kakashi smiled helplessly. His subordinate was indeed a special ninja.
""Hmph."
Sasuke only snorted, then quickly formed a seal, which was the Chidori gathering, and then with a bang, it hit the boulder.
"Naruto-kun...so awesome.."Hinata's pretty face was dizzy, so cute.
Konoha Hospital
Xiao Li looked at the scene in the sky, opened his mouth, and his eyes were full of shock. That Naruto... actually defeated Gaara...
"Even Naruto-kun is still trying, how can I give up?"He gritted his teeth, if his feet don't work, then use his hands, if his hands don't work, then use his body.
The five great countries, the five shadows..
"It's incredible. That little kid has a bright future."Ohnoki sighed. Being able to defeat the One-Tail Jinchūriki was enough to prove it.
What's more, the other party also possessed the Nine-Tail. If the other party could control this power one day, then Konoha's strength would be strengthened.
"So what if he is the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki? He may not lose to him by much."The Fourth Raikage said, but at the same time, he felt a little wary and respectful of the boy. He recognized that he could do this for his companions.
"An interesting man, but a little too small, what a pity." Terumi Mei sighed, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said
【In the picture】
【Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto both breathed heavily and stood on the treetops, staring at each other, neither of them giving in...】
【"I've reached my limit, but you should be almost there too! ?"】
【Naruto stared at the other party and exhaled coldly, but Gaara was speechless, only staring at the former coldly like Shura】
【"We are very similar...so, let's make it clear!"】
【boom!】
【It was Gamabunta's giant sword, which suddenly turned into white smoke and dissipated. At the same time, both of them suddenly bounced up and rushed towards each other.!】
【"My existence will not disappear, I only fight for myself!"】
【Gaara gritted his teeth and stared at Naruto, his gaze was like that of a lonely Shura.】
【"Because they are my companions, because they are the people I cherish, so...I will fight to protect them...!"】
【Naruto stared at the other person fiercely. Although his eyes were fierce, they also had something else in them. It was a protective look.....】
【That kind of thing is something that the lonely Gaara has never had.!】
【"ah!!"】
【"ah!!"】
【The two punched at the same time, and at this moment, Gaara vaguely saw that behind Naruto, there seemed to be several shadows...】
【At the same time, he vaguely saw that it was like two suns shining behind the latter....It seems that there is not only one person who threw this punch....Rather..】
【Bang!】
It was a punch that hit Gaara's face hard, and both of them fell vertically to the ground...
"Gaara...lost?"
Temari and Kankuro looked at this scene in disbelief. Gaara in that state was actually defeated!? Gaara also looked at this scene in disbelief, with a face full of shock. He actually lost?
Lost to that ant?
That kind of guy?
Why...why...
Uzumaki Naruto...why on earth...can you be so powerful... what on earth are you fighting for?!
Where on earth do you get the strength from!?
【In the picture, Gaara was lying quietly on the lawn, with no strength left. The claws that bound Sakura also dispersed...】
【Gaara quietly looked at Uzumaki Naruto who was lying not far away, his eyes full of doubt and confusion...】
【"Why is this guy so powerful?..."】
【Gaara recalled the past, which was full of hatred, loneliness, like a lonely hell:"My existence will not disappear... absolutely not..."】
【"Uh.."】
【However, Naruto began to wriggle his body, using his chin to wriggle little by little...】
【"The monster is coming, run!"】
【"You monster, why don't you just die! ?"】
【"Get lost, we don't want to play with you, you monster"】
【It seems that memories are coming back again, how similar their childhoods were...】
【The feeling of being unwanted, excluded, isolated, and hated....That feeling...suffocated the two young children.】
【"To them, I am something they now want to erase, so why do I exist and live in this world?"】
【"This is how I see myself...No...I have to think this way...and I know this is the most painful thing...I am completely unnecessary to this world..."】
【Looking at the squirming Naruto, Gaara finally began to panic, with a hint of helplessness and fear in his eyes...】
【"Don't...don't come over here!"】
【Why, why are you so stubborn?】
【However, Naruto slowly raised his head, revealing an expression full of strange sadness, his eyes flashing with tears, and said in a trembling voice:"The pain of being alone is not ordinary pain, right?.."】
【"I don't know why, but I understand your feelings so well...."】
【Gaara was stunned. What kind of look was that? Suddenly, he was in a panic, his eyes were full of helplessness and fear...】
【"But..I already have the ones I love, I won't let you hurt the ones I love.."】
【"Otherwise...even if I have to kill you, I will stop you!"】
【Hearing this, Gaara was confused. Why?..】
【"Why...why can you do this for others.."】
【"Because they saved me from the hell of loneliness and recognized my existence. They are important companions...."】
【Hearing this, Gaara was slightly startled, and in a trance he remembered his childhood】
【"Love is the desire to dedicate and protect the loved ones around you..."】
【He remembered Yashamaru's words..】
【That's why he is so powerful..】
【"love.."】
【Gaara murmured, looking at the sky, thinking about this question....That's why he is so strong...because of love.....】
【One day..I will...】
Gaara stared at the video in a daze, and was also thinking, what is love?
That Uzumaki Naruto is so strong because of love.
What is love?
Gaara touched his heart, which was obviously strong, but inexplicably empty....
For some reason, he envied the Uzumaki Naruto in the picture..
"love.."
Naruto murmured, he didn't know what love was... but... as long as he thought of Iruka, Kakashi, Sasuke, Sakura, the third generation grandfather... and finally Jiraiya...As long as I think of them..
"Because it was them who pulled me out of that abyss. Just thinking of them...I no longer feel lonely.."Naruto said in a deep voice...
Because they...recognize my existence...
Because they...I feel warm, and I don't feel cold even in the deepest darkness...
Because they are my...important companions!
