Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 90 Be My Son!

A colossal wave rolled down.

Gaara's body appeared incredibly small, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes as he quickly tried to manipulate the yellow sand beneath his feet to escape.

Rasa, standing at a distance, shouted to stop him: "Gaara, don't run away! Use all the power within you to summon that monster, Shukaku!"

"..."

Gaara stopped trying to escape.

The Fourth Kazekage's orders were something he could not disobey, not because of Rasa's identity, but because of Rasa's power and the prestige he had accumulated over the years.

Gaara struggled to lift his head, gazing at the crashing waves. His eyes were surrounded by dark circles from years of insomnia. He simply bit his lip and said, "...I understand, Father."

"Kazekage-sama!"

Jonin Maki looked at the Fourth Kazekage beside him and gritted his teeth, advising, "The power of this ninjutsu might not be something Gaara can withstand. Even if you don't consider that he's your youngest son, Kazekage-sama, you should at least consider that he's the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast in the village, right?"

"Maki, there's no need for that!"

Rasa waved his hand to interrupt Maki's persuasion, but just watching Gaara dodging left and right in the waves, he said coldly, "If Gaara can't use Shukaku's power, then he is just a failed experiment and has no reason to exist."

After saying that, Rasa added, "He is first and foremost the Jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Beast in the village, the ultimate weapon that can be used by the village, a ninja who needs to give his life for Sunagakure, and only lastly my son."

"..."

Maki suddenly found it difficult to continue trying to persuade him.

As a strategist for the Kazekage, he could not make any decisions on behalf of the Fourth Kazekage; he could only offer appropriate advice at certain times for the Fourth Kazekage to choose from.

"Quicksand Burst!"

Gaara is still desperately resisting the roaring waves.

Under his control, wave after wave of yellow sand slowed down the invasion of the sea waves, but was then breached by wave after wave of the sea waves.

Boom boom boom!

The raging waves completely destroyed Gaara's defenses, and the red-haired boy was swept away by the waves, even choking on some water.

As the waves continued their advance, threatening to engulf the group of Sand Ninja, Rasa could no longer restrain himself and finally took action: "Magnet Release: Golden Sand Waves!"

Gold dust and yellow sand from the earth were all swept up!

A golden wave of sand crashed head-on into the waves manipulated by Uehara Naraku, shattering the momentum of the waves!

The gold-mixed sand quickly sank into the ground, forming an indestructible golden rectangular dam that blocked the onslaught of the raging waves.

Uehara Naraku had no choice but to stop his attack. The water droplets on the ground, having lost the support of chakra, slowly scattered and flowed away, and the water level gradually dropped.

The Fourth Kazekage's Magnet Release is quite interesting.

Gaara finally regained his footing and manipulated the yellow sand to form a sand gourd again.

"Some people in the ninja world have said that the Fourth Kazekage adored his youngest son and kept him by his side all the time. But that doesn't seem to be the case!"

Uehara Naraku swooped down, glanced at the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, then at Gaara who was still somewhat exhausted, and couldn't help but click his tongue: "Tsk, he rushes to help his subordinates when they're in danger, but doesn't even save his own son. That's not how a father behaves!"

When Uehara Naraku first heard this rumor, he was speechless. Could he have traveled into Gaara's dream of Infinite Tsukuyomi?

Uehara had initially thought he had arrived in a fake ninja world, but now, seeing Rasa treat Gaara so cruelly, he finally felt a little relieved.

Gaara ignored Uehara's words and didn't care how his father treated him. He simply raised his hand and manipulated the yellow sand to rise into the air!

"Sand-bound coffin!"

The yellow sand swept towards Uehara Nara!

This is Gaara's most proficient technique, and one of his favorite techniques!

Using his aerial maneuvering technique, Uehara Naraku nimbly weaved through the wisps of yellow sand, swooping down towards Gaara: "Secret Technique! Twilight Blade!"

A purple chakra broadsword appeared beside Uehara!

A cloud of yellow sand appeared beside Gaara, quickly forming a shield wall to block Uehara's attack!

These yellow sands were left behind by Gaara's mother, Karura, and they protect him at all times, keeping Gaara forever under the protection of the Sand Shield.

Whoosh!

The purple chakra broadsword slashed at the sand shield!

Taking advantage of his falling momentum, Uehara Naraku shattered the Sand Shield with a single blow!

"How could someone possibly break through the sand's defenses?"

Gaara's mouth was slightly open, and he stared in astonishment at Uehara who was falling down. He nervously took a few steps back, which drew the displeasure of Rasa.

The Fourth Kazekage stood at a distance, annoyed, and reprimanded, "Gaara, don't back down! Quickly force out the power of Shukaku within you!"

"..."

Gaara fell silent.

The eight-year-old boy slowly lowered his head, making it impossible to see his expression, but one could sense a suppressed loneliness and sadness.

In particular, Uehara Naraku knew information about Gaara.

Gaara lost his mother when he was young. His father, Rasa, forbade everyone to have contact with him and ordered Gaara's uncle, Yashamaru, to assassinate him.

Yashamaru was the only one who cared for and loved Gaara, but in the end he had to carry out an assassination mission under the Kazekage's orders and died from Gaara's attack.

This completely turned Gaara into the dark side...

According to one of the laws of the ninja world, corruption makes you three times stronger, while redemption makes you a complete waste.

From then on, Gaara became a bloodthirsty and powerful Jinchūriki.

However, Gaara's father, Rasa, was still relentlessly sending assassins to kill Gaara, making it seem as if this son wasn't his own...

Compared to Gaara of Sunagakure, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha was actually doing quite well. At least Naruto Uzumaki wouldn't be attacked for no reason, and he even had a few friends.

"I can't believe there are fathers like this in the world..."

Uehara Naraku sighed, a slight smile playing on his lips: "If it weren't for my age being inappropriate, I really would like to say something to you."

The yellow sand gathered rapidly and blocked Gaara's way again!

The red-haired boy peeked out from behind the sand shield, his fierce gaze softening slightly, replaced by a hint of curiosity: "What do you want to say?"

"Hmm...be my son!"

Suddenly, Uehara Naraku stretched out a hand!

After performing this strange action, Uehara stroked his chin and said, "Little guy, do you think I sounded friendly when I said that?"

"I...I'm going to kill you!"

Gaara's face instantly contorted with rage, and under his control, the yellow sand once again surged towards Uehara Naraku: "Sand Binding Coffin!"

The Rain Ninja boy in front of them looked like one of the newly graduated Genin from the village, and was probably about the same age as his older sister Temari.

This is clearly a deliberate attempt to mock him!

"Don't worry, I wouldn't dare kill you!"

Uehara Naraku chuckled, raised his purple chakra broadsword, and with a flick of his wrist, scattered the yellow sand and sent it soaring high into the air!

Whoosh!

Gaara's sand shield was shattered once again by a single sword strike!

Without pausing, before the yellow sand could gather again, Uehara Naraku gripped his chakra broadsword and slashed fiercely at Gaara.

Gaara was sent flying backward, the cracks on his face clearly visible.

The sand armor that had quietly gathered on his body was cleaved into scattered yellow sand by Uehara Naraku!

A spray of bloody foam flew out of Gaara's mouth.

"Cough cough... You've angered me!"

Gaara suddenly raised his head, revealing a face that was half human and half monster!

Thank you for the tip, storyteller!
