Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

But at that moment, another thought suddenly popped into my head:

Is this the only way... for it to continue to exist?

exist?

At this moment, Yun chuckled and said, "Today I learned from that Uzumaki Sora that your father, the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, Rasa, seems to be a fool without any humanity..."

"In that case, I can understand what you just said. Only a weapon that can control its own power can have a reason to exist as a demon who only loves itself."

Yun then asked, "Who is the person who said these things to you? Is it the person who gave you this power?"

As the clouds fell silent, perhaps it was because I had slept well after fainting today, or perhaps some talent was finally coming into play...

Gaara, having calmed down and regained his composure for the first time, shook his head slightly: "No, Yashamaru wouldn't possess such power..."

"Yashimaru...was he lying to me?"

After the murmurs, the courtyard fell silent for a moment.

Yun casually poured two cups of tea, drank one, and said, "Are you thirsty? Drink up."

Gaara looked at the clouds. It seemed that this was the first time since then that someone had spoken to him in such an attitude toward a child.

There was no hatred, and no fear...

Hesitantly, he raised his hand, picked up the teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.

It's bittersweet...

Yun smiled and said, "I can sense something in your power. It's not the power of the tailed beast within you, but a power that would protect you even at the cost of its own life."

"Who is that Yashamaru to you?"

Gaara stared blankly at the artificial hill in the courtyard not far away, muttering, "Yashamaru... is Mother's younger brother..."

Yun nodded: "So it's your uncle... If that's the case, has your mother passed away?"

"Your uncle said your mother never loved you, and that only in this way could you continue to exist..."

"It seems... that power was left to you by your mother..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gaara suddenly looked up at the clouds.

Do not!

At that time, Yashamaru clearly said that his mother had never loved him!

At this moment, the little Nine-Tails perched on Yun's shoulder sneered: "What's the point of all this talk? Since Shukaku has been sealed inside this brat, why not just call him out?"

As Kurama spoke, he looked at Yun and said, "The scroll that the Fourth Hokage gave you didn't just contain the Flying Thunder God Technique, did it? The Sand Village's seal is full of loopholes. Unlock a little bit and create a little Shukaku!"

These words made Yun look at Little Nine-Tailed Fox. At this moment, its eyes were very strange, and it also had that cunning unique to foxes.

What do you want to do?

Nine-Tailed Fox chuckled awkwardly, then winked at Yun: "Isn't this boring... In your spare time, it's fun to punch him a couple of times, isn't it?"

Uh!

Did you teach this phrase yourself?

This is increasingly heading in certain directions...

After a moment's thought, Yun looked at Gaara and said, "Do you want to know the truth? If you do... perhaps the Shukaku within you can answer you."

At that moment, Shukaku inside Gaara exploded...

"Kid! Don't agree to him!"

I don't want to go out!

"I won't tell you even if I go out!"

"Don't agree to him..."

"I can tell you right now, as long as you don't agree to him!"

In his mind, Gaara looked indifferently at the monster in front of him: "Without him, I don't believe you."

Shukaku was enraged, then flew into a rage: "Bastard! Do you think this guy can make me talk?"

"I am a tailed beast! A powerful being!"

"You think I'll give in? I won't..."

Amidst the roar, Yun, who had already activated the Eternal Kaleidoscope, appeared at this sealed place.

The six-pointed star slowly rotated, and the immense power of its pupils caused Shukaku to swallow back the words he was about to say.

Yun calmly looked at Shouhe and said, "Actually, there's no need to cut you off. Coming to this place is just a piece of cake for me."

At this point, Yun glanced at Gaara beside him and said, "I told you before that you should stop disturbing this child's resting. Perhaps now I can give you a reward. The Nine-Tails was able to help me before for this purpose. You should know its current state."

Shukaku glanced at the clouds.

It was certainly aware of the Nine-Tails' current state; its main body was likely sealed within the seal of a Konoha Jinchuriki. However, the part that had been cut out seemed to have always been quite free.

Being beaten up and then sealed away seems to have become a regular occurrence.

Having such a powerful person by your side, without much constraint, doesn't seem like a bad thing.

After thinking for a while, Shukaku hesitated and asked, "Then will you help Kurama or me?"

The shrill voice, if you didn't see the size of the person, you'd think it was a child being affectionate.

Yun smiled and replied, "You should resolve your own conflicts. You are all part of the same group. Do you really think you can't defeat the Nine-Tails?"

These words seemed to provoke Shukaku: "Who would be afraid of that stupid fox! Only a fool would define the strength of a tailed beast by the number of its tails!"

Yun nodded calmly, at which point a gaze from the side caught her attention.

Gaara looked at himself in confusion: "So... can I finally rest peacefully starting today?"

Ignoring the sulking Shukaku, Yun reached out and ruffled Gaara's hair.

There was no malicious touch, and it seemed that the force did not stop it.

Gaara witnessed this situation, and his doubts about Yashamaru's words grew stronger.

"Only by learning to protect can you no longer be alone. I think both your mother and Yashamaru hope that you can learn how to love..."

"The existence of war has led every village to dedicate themselves to weapons like stabilizing tailed beasts, but this very stabilization of weapons has resulted in far too many tragedies..."

"But I think that as human beings, everyone has a few people worth protecting. There must be some in your life too."

"Go and discover it, and then try to experience it... It can make you feel less lonely, and it can fill in some gaps."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gaara's gaze sharpened slightly.

In my memory, Yashamaru once spoke words that were different from physical wounds; they were wounds in my heart...

"Love is the heart that wants to offer love and protection to those around you..."

At that moment, Yun reached out and placed his hand on Shukaku's seal.

At the same time, a Flying Thunder God kunai also appeared.

The technique on it: Uchiha!

……

Chapter 202: Naruto and Gaara

"Stupid fox!"

"You stinky raccoon!"

"Do you want to die?"

"Heh... You think I'm afraid of you? Believe me or not, I can kill you with a single blow."

……

Two noisy, small tailed beasts were currently facing off and exchanging blows. If it weren't for the protective barrier that had been set up beforehand, the gradually overflowing chakra would probably have already attracted everyone's attention.

"Clap!"

Yun clapped his hands lightly and said, "If you want to fight, you can fight however you want later. Before the Joint Chunin Exams are over, you are not allowed to be discovered with the One-Tailed Beast."

Shukaku was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yun and asked, "What happened to the promised freedom?"

Yun reached out and smacked it on the forehead: "You've been sealed for so many years, and you can't even hold back for a few days? Although the Fourth Kazekage is indeed not very good, it would be inhuman to provoke them at this time."

The little Nine-Tails sneered from the side, "Whatever my boss says goes. As a tailed beast, you should have the awareness of a tailed beast. Why do you have so many questions?"

Shukaku glared at the Nine-Tailed Fox, about to retort, but was silenced by Yun's kind gaze.

Shukaku then looked at Gaara, thought for a moment, and said, "When your mother died, the power that had been protecting you was indeed left behind by her. Manipulating sand is very similar to my power, isn't it?"

"But how could I, a tailed beast, possibly protect humans? You fool, you seem to have never even considered that!"

Gaara trembled and slightly raised his head: "If I die, you will die too, won't you?"

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Shukaku's shrill laughter rang out: "Tailed beasts never truly die. Even if the Jinchuriki dies, the Tailed Beast will re-form and return in another dimension at some point..."

"This way of resurrection is also a form of freedom. Otherwise, why would I keep you awake every night... Hehehe..."

Gaara remained indifferent, then asked, "Yashamaru..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shukaku mocked, "The Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, your father, was a complete idiot. He sent Yashamaru to his death to test the limits of your endurance."

"At that time, within your body, it was your rampage that gave me the opportunity. It was indeed my power that killed him!"

At this moment, Gaara, who was only eight or nine years old, stared wide-eyed, but the tears that had been welling up in his eyes still flowed uncontrollably.

He didn't care whether he could sleep peacefully or not...

He didn't care about the loneliness of being alone every night, afraid to fall into a deep sleep...

What he cares about is whether there is anyone in this world who truly loves him...

Mother, Yashamaru...

Perhaps there are older brothers... and older sisters...
