Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 380 It's all the fault of the first generation.

I glanced up and saw a familiar face in the distance.

Toshiro ignored Gaara, picked up a small pebble from the ground, and threw it at Gaara's head.

As for Yashamaru, who was responsible for taking care of Gaara from afar, his skill level was really just average.

In the other person's eyes, Gaara is currently playing happily in the courtyard.

"This is…"

As the pebble approached, a handful of yellowish-brown sand suddenly appeared above Gaara's head, shielding him from the small pebble.

Gaara looked up at Toshiro with some confusion at his actions, wondering if the sand around him had always been like this.

However, the change in the other person's eyes made him gasp in surprise.

"So beautiful!"

Gaara stared blankly at the pattern in Toshiro's eyes.

The other person's eyes are so beautiful and captivating.

"This is truly extraordinary maternal love!"

Through his Mangekyou Sharingan, Toshiro clearly saw that within the suddenly appearing yellow sand, a very high-quality chakra was attached to it.

As the danger disappeared, it quietly returned to Gaara's body.

By amplifying his eye power, Toshiro could even faintly see a nascent consciousness within this chakra.

This consciousness seems to have lost its self, and can only mechanically protect its poor child according to its wishes before death.

"It seems to be a combination of some special secret technique and one's own will!"

After carefully examining Gaara's 'Maza', Toshiro pointed to the sand scattered on the ground and asked Gaara:

Why do you think this sand protects you?

"These sands will protect you, without you even needing to control them; they'll keep you safe. Haven't you ever wondered why?"

"Even worse, it can go against your will and prevent you from harming yourself when you want to end your own life!"

"You mean, all this sand that has always protected me... is because of Mom?"

Gaara is a very intelligent child. With just a little hint from Toshiro, he figured out the key point.

The sand was clearly out of his control and had been protecting him all along. Combined with the monster's attitude towards him, it was clearly not its doing.

"Have you been protected by your mother all these years?"

Thinking of this, Gaara stared blankly at the sand on the ground, standing motionless in place.

"It turns out, Mom has always been by my side!"

Gaara stared blankly at the sand on the ground for a while, then muttered something to himself, almost as if in a dream.

Then he squatted down on the ground, hugged his head, and started wailing.

"Tsk! It's all the fault of the First Generation!"

Although the First Hokage established the system of one village per country, he was also very kind and had no intention of harming others.

However, he was truly puzzled by the fact that the Tailed Beasts were captured and distributed among the major powers to prevent them from fighting each other.

What's the point of doing this?

The First, Second, and Third Shinobi World Wars—we still fought them, didn't we?

If it were him, he would never do that.

He understood that they didn't keep all the tailed beasts under their control. If they simply left them aside, the intensity of the battles between the ninjas might be lower.

As for why he didn't keep all the Tailed Beasts under his control, Toshiro thought the First Hokage must have thought of it this way.

Jinchuriki are like ticking time bombs. If nine Jinchuriki were to get together and go berserk, it would be quite a spectacle.

He didn't even want to think about what might happen if things went wrong and a chain reaction occurred!

But that's no reason for him to distribute the tailed beasts equally!

This caused each Jinchūriki to suffer terribly.

Once a tailed beast has a history of going berserk, the village's higher-ups will conduct stability tests on it after it is sealed again.

We need to see if the emotions or other changes of these new Jinchūriki will affect the sealing effect.

This is also why Gaara and Naruto in the original work had such tragic childhoods, yet the village's higher-ups turned a blind eye and even indulged them to some extent.

"Gaara, how about we make a deal?"

Seeing that Gaara had vented his emotions, Toshiro looked at Gaara, who was still in tears, and said...

"trade?"

Gaara, who is not even five years old, already understands what a deal is, but... what does he have that the other party would want?

"Yes, a deal!"

"You probably can't sleep well. I'll help you solve this problem, but you have to do me a favor too!"

"Really? You can really let me sleep normally?"

Upon hearing that Toshiro could help him fall asleep peacefully, Gaara stared at Toshiro with his bloodshot eyes, his expression one of pure delight.

He desperately needs sleep.

While it's not entirely impossible to fall asleep, after all, if someone can't sleep for years on end, even with chakra, they're bound to die.

However, not only is the sleep time very short, but the sleep is also not very deep.

Otherwise, there is a risk of things getting out of control at any time.

"Of course! But that requires your cooperation!"

He has several methods to help Aiolia fall asleep normally.

However, considering that Shukaku is also an expert in sealing techniques, he felt that it would be better to use the power of the Sharingan to solve this problem.

"Sure! As long as you let me sleep normally, I'll agree to anything!"

A person who suffers from chronic insomnia, or who is unable to sleep normally for many years, craves sleep more than anything else.

Gaara agreed to the deal with Toshiro without hesitation, without even asking what he needed to give in return.

After all, apart from the monster inside his body, he had practically nothing.

"That's really... a quick agreement!"

Seeing the thicker blood vessels in the other person's eyes, which had become even more prominent from crying, Toshiro wasn't too surprised.

The eyes of this guy are not as clear-cut as those of an ordinary child. Compared to him, those authors who stayed up all night writing manuscripts in my previous life were simply not on the same level.

Look me in the eyes!

Tenderly patting Gaara's head, Toshiro crouched down, activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, and stared intently into Gaara's eyes.

The opponent is a Jinchūriki. If he adds another layer of seal on top of the seal, regardless of whether it will be effective, once the Sand Ninja discovers this situation, the little guy's fate will probably be tragic.

He could only try to see if he could help the other person with his own eyes, which could also be considered as giving this little guy a chance to dream!
