Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 379 Gaara

A figure emerged from the Japanese-style building belonging to Toshiro's family. He looked as if he had just woken up from a dream, and seemed somewhat lost and disoriented.

It was Uchiha Shisui.

His steps were slow and heavy, as if carrying all his confusion and bewilderment. His figure appeared and disappeared in the bright spring sunshine, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding scenery.

Shisui's heart was filled with chaos, as if a subversive storm was brewing deep within him.

He looked up at the sky, where wisps of clouds drifted lazily. His gaze then fell upon four solemn, ancient rock carvings. The statues stood silently, gazing at the trees below, as if telling him a story he could not comprehend.

His gaze fell on the surrounding buildings, those exquisite Japanese-style buildings seemed to be whispering to him, telling him about some possibilities he had never thought of.

His heart was pounding painfully, and his thoughts were spinning wildly. He tried to understand everything Toshiro had said, and he also tried to sort out his chaotic thoughts.

He shook his head, trying to break free from his chaotic thoughts, but the overturning of his deeply ingrained beliefs seemed to carry a powerful force that made it hard for him to breathe.

Shisui took a deep breath.

The air was filled with the scent of spring—new green leaves, blooming flowers, fresh soil… He closed his eyes, letting that feeling seep into the depths of his soul. He needed time to process it all, time to understand Toshiro's words.

His steps did not falter; he continued forward, striding towards the unknown future. His figure appeared even more solitary and lost in the sunlight, like a traveler abandoned by the world, searching for his own direction.

The Japanese-style building stood there quietly, as if bidding him farewell, or perhaps anticipating his future changes.

Meanwhile, Toshiro, looking at the distraught Shisui, felt no remorse whatsoever.

He warned Fugaku Uchiha and advised Shisui to change his mindset; these were all necessary preparations before leaving Konoha and were all part of his plan.

Otherwise, the thought of going out and coming back to find his house burgled is enough to make him cringe.

He didn't know whether his words would have any unexpected effects.

The Uchiha's mindset... is just that enigmatic.

Early the next morning.

Toshiro left Konoha with minimal luggage.

Last night I said goodbye to Sister Meixiang and my uncle, and I also comforted Chie.

As for the Naruto side...

It was already taken care of before.

Upon receiving his request to travel far away, the Third Hokage readily approved it.

Walking through the Land of Fire, he casually dismissed those small fry who might have been commissioned by someone and had come to test him.

Toshiro was in a very good mood.

Having been reborn into this world for so many years, I can finally stop being so anxious about the tragic fate that might befall me.

You can fully appreciate the beautiful scenery, fine wines and delicious food of this anime world, as well as the various anime girls with different styles.

Just thinking about it makes him a little excited!

Six months later.

Do you really know where my mother is?

"She really didn't leave me?"

A little devil with red hair looked at the stranger in front of him and started asking questions endlessly, his voice becoming hoarse from excitement.

"certainly!"

The question was asked by a little boy of four or five years old, while the one who answered him was a tall young man with long hair tied in a ponytail.

"Your mother's name is Karura, and you call me Gaara, am I right?"

Looking at the kid with severe dark circles under his eyes in front of him, Toshiro had no choice but to use his trump card. Although the kid was young, he was quite aware of his surroundings.

At the same time, one has to admit that the Sand Village's sealing technique was really crude, and the methods were truly cruel.

If a child of that age is subjected to Shukaku's harassment day and night, even the most talented child would have virtually no chance of not going berserk.

Going crazy is an entirely normal outcome!

"How do you know me, and even my mother's name!"

"Now that you know all this, quickly tell me where my mother is!"

As he spoke, Gaara's expression gradually became somewhat out of control, as if he were experiencing something terrifying, and his expression became distorted due to the mental anguish he was suffering.

"Quiet down!"

Seeing the change in Gaara's expression, Toshiro gave a light shout to the somewhat out-of-control Gaara.

"well…"

Gaara, who had just been looking pained, suddenly froze, looking somewhat bewildered.

"Did you quiet it down?"

Gaara saw that after the other party said "quiet," a red light flashed in their eyes, and then the monster inside him, who was always clamoring to take over his body and kill everyone, appeared.

It actually quieted down.

Its name is Shukaku!

Touching Gaara's red hair, Toshiro told him Shukaku's name. As for putting Shukaku to sleep, that was a piece of cake for him now.

"It will be with you for the rest of your life, so you should try to get along with it!"

Compared to Naruto, this little guy's tragic experience seems even more tragic. His own father wanted to kill him, which isn't much better than Naruto having grown up without parents.

After wandering around the Land of Fire and its surrounding areas for almost half a year, fully experiencing the diverse customs and cultures of various countries, Toshiro finally remembered that he still had important matters to attend to.

Reluctantly, he began the first stop of his tailed beast chakra collection plan, which was the Land of Wind.

They found Gaara, who was still a kid at the time.

"Get along well with it? But...but..."

Gaara wanted to say that the monster was so terrifying that he didn't want to see it for even a day, but he was too excited to know where to begin.

"My mother knows Gaara's current situation, which is why she has stayed by Gaara's side all these years!"

Seeing the kid who was on the verge of tears due to his emotional state, Toshiro offered him a few words of comfort.

"You mean Mom has always been by my side?"

"How is that possible? Why have I never seen it before?"

At this age, the moment Gaara heard news of his mother, his attention was immediately diverted. With a somewhat puzzled look in his eyes, he looked around.

He then turned to look at Toshiro, seemingly demanding an explanation from him.
