My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 149 Gaara's Questions
The next day, the seventh training ground.

"……above."

After Link arranged for his three subordinates to practice, he prepared to go to the hospital to see Xiao Li.

Although he would not reveal his skill of extracting small dangers to the three subordinates from the Sand Village, they were still his subordinates after all, so there would be no big problem in planning some basic training for them.

What's more, the method of practice guidance comes from Maki, so there is no problem at all.

"Teacher Link." Gaara suddenly called him and asked, "Are we friends?"

Temari, who was about to disperse for her practice, stopped, and Kankuro, who had not slept well last night because of being harassed, did not even move a step away.

"First of all, I'm your boss." Link was a little confused, but still said with a smile: "However, besides being ninjas, we are friends."

"I see." Gaara showed a thoughtful expression, took a step forward, stretched out his hand and said:

"friend."

Link was a little amused. Where did he learn this from?

He also extended his hand and shook the other person's hand, purely as if he was teasing a child, and getting closer to the Jinchūriki was also a reward.

Hmm, but this guy is obviously a ninja, but there are no calluses on his palms. It doesn’t look like he has practiced hard at all. No wonder his physical skills are so poor.

I guess you never practiced throwing ninja tools from the beginning to the end?
After releasing his hands, Link directly rejected the plan to practice throwing ninja tools.

Are you kidding? People have plenty of chakra, so they can just play with sand and sand. Not only does throwing sand shurikens save money, but they are also more powerful than ordinary shurikens.

"I understand." Gaara said this abruptly after he let go of his hand. No one knew what he understood. Then he smiled a normal, happy smile, a smile so normal that it looked weird on his face. He said:
"Friendship." He looked at Link seriously for a while, then said, "What do you think love is?"

"Who taught you this word?" Link was a little confused. A child who didn't even have positive emotions was asking about love for no reason. He was smiling so normally just now, and now he was trying to pursue friendship...

Could it be that some girl in Konoha Village managed to pry open the closed heart of the Jinchūriki?
After hearing this, Kankuro's expression changed instantly and he began to retreat quietly.

"Kankuro said that Temari wants to develop a romantic relationship with you." Gaara said honestly, "He also said that I treat you as a friend, and friendship is something everyone recognizes."

"Oh? Did he say what love is?" Link's expression remained unchanged, still smiling, and his eyes glanced at Kankuro who had quietly run ten meters away.

[But I didn't ask you to ask others what love is! ]

Kankuro was sweating profusely and disappeared from the spot without hesitation.

"Bang!" Temari stomped her foot on the ground, her face showing shame and anger. She held the fan in her hand and looked around like a tigress for her brother.

"No, he doesn't understand either." Gaara said frankly.

He could sleep normally, would not be assassinated, lived in an environment different from the Sand Village, no one knew there was a monster inside him, he would not be hated and loathed when walking on the street, and he had the recognition of others...

Now, he is healthier and more normal than ever before. He still has some grudges towards his mother and uncle Yashamaru, but he is more of a search for "love".

He wanted love, and after learning about 'love', he was naturally interested, but it was a pity that Kankuro was still so useless.

"Love is a relationship between people of the opposite sex." Link smiled and glanced at Temari, saying, "If you're curious, the bookstore should have books about love."

"I see." Gaara turned around and tried to leave, but suddenly stopped and said hesitantly, "Should I say thank you now?" "Kankuro said that if you ask for help from others, you need to say thank you after getting the help."

He didn't know whether what Kankuro, who was usually useless, said was correct, so he asked.

"That's right." Link gave an affirmative answer, his smile became more genuine, and said, "In addition to love, you actually have family affection. I believe that whether it's Temari or Kankuro, they both love you as their brother."

"..."

Gaara looked over there a bit bewilderedly.

Temari pursed her lips, not daring to say anything, her ears turned red. Even when it was revealed that she liked Link, she was not so shy.

Gaara covered his chest, his heart was beating violently, and the sand was floating silently around him.

Link reached out his hand, and the sand magically bypassed his palm, allowing him to rest his hand on his subordinate's shoulder. He said in a gentle tone, "If you want something, then go after it as a goal."

"Love... me..."

Gaara covered his head with his hands in pain, his past memories surging up in his mind. As his emotions changed, the sand moved and wrapped him up like a broken eggshell.

The sunlight shone through the gap between his arm and the sand, and a warm but small palm pressed against his shoulder.

Temari rushed over anxiously. She was very concerned about her brother who looked in pain, and her lover whose arm seemed to be cut off by the sand.

Link gave her a reassuring look.

Kankuro, who had been running far away, popped his head out of the bushes again. He didn't expect Gaara's reaction to be so strong. He remembered the past when they were on a mission together in the Sand Village, and his brother's violent behavior towards others after he went berserk. He was a little afraid to come over.

"Gaara..." Temari mustered up her courage and placed her palm on the Sand Shield, feeling the rough texture. She whispered, "You must have been very lonely before."

"I'm sorry for making you endure such loneliness..." In the past, she didn't dare to get so close to her brother. If the Jinchūriki with the tailed beast in his body got a little excited, he might kill her.

This is why other people don't dare to get close to the Jinchūriki.

Now, not only does she have the new seal provided by Konoha, but she has also seen the changes in Gaara during this period of time, and the man she loves is looking at her. She finally musters up the courage to overcome her fear.

Temari touched the Sand Shield, her eyes sparkling as she recalled the time when she saw her brother lonely. She said in a very gentle voice:
"No matter what, I am your sister."

"I always love you and cherish you."

The sand was slowly sinking in, like a monster quietly swallowing her arm.

Temari was not afraid. She turned around and looked at Kankuro who was standing hesitantly in the distance, and gave him a threatening look.

"What are you doing..." Kankuro came over shyly, muttering, "You won't be able to get married if you're so fierce, ouch!"

He stood on his stepped toes with a grin, and after taking a few deep breaths, he put his hand on the sand shield. His usual frivolous expression disappeared from his face, and he said seriously:

"Although I have always been afraid of you." He immediately received his sister's death-threatening look, but just smiled helplessly and continued:
"But, no matter what, you are still my brother."
