Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 203 Gaara's Transformation (12) 5000

"This meeting is meaningless to us now."

Darui's voice rang out.

Yugito, standing to the side, looked out the window and sighed: "The four great ninja villages could never truly cooperate; I had expected that."

At this moment, the Two-Tails inside the wooden body spoke up: "Let me give you some advice, if you become enemies with someone like that... Kumogakure has no chance of winning."

Yugito frowned slightly, her inner voice replying, "Even you, Matatabi, think so?"

The creature, its entire body covered in blue flames, shook its head slightly, its two tails swaying behind it: "Although I'm reluctant to admit it, among the tailed beasts, the Nine-Tails' power is indeed the strongest. Even the Eight-Tails can't compare to it in this respect."

"You should have seen Kurama's attitude before, on Uchiha Yun's shoulder, even though it was only a part of Kurama. But that still showed Kurama's attitude..."

"And... that guy's eye power, just a single glance... is enough to fill me with fear!"

After he finished speaking, the voice of Matatobu Nio ceased.

At this moment, Darui replied, "I know about the long-standing feuds between the Five Great Shinobi Villages, but I originally thought that under pressure from Konoha, the four great shinobi villages would be able to reach a consensus..."

Yukito frowned deeply.

Basic apprehension can unite everyone against Konoha, but if that apprehension evolves into fear, then unity becomes impossible.

perhaps……

This must be why Konoha assigned Uchiha Kumo to this mission...

"Darui...let him lie low for now."

"Unless Konoha shows any significant decline, from today onwards, Kumogakure will operate with a strategy of lying low!"

"Only in this way... will Lord Raikage's sacrifice not have been in vain, and will my life have been saved with some value."

……

under night.

At this moment, Uchiha Yun had just finished taking a bath and was drinking tea in the courtyard, wearing a bathrobe.

It's a publicly funded trip; since it can be counted as hospitality expenses when we get back, we might as well take advantage of it.

The little nine-tailed fox that had been lying down wrinkled its nose and slightly opened its eyes to look out of the courtyard.

In that direction, a little guy with dark circles under his eyes was slightly lifted by the sand, his eyes just over the courtyard wall, looking at the leisurely clouds.

That person!

That's the person...

If I kill him, wouldn't that prove my existence?

A being who could instill fear in my father and those guys... if I could kill him...

"You little brat, if you want to die, can you please not drag me down with you?!"

Gaara's cold gaze faltered for a moment, then he grinned maliciously, inwardly roaring, "Even a monster like you is afraid? Killing someone like that would be meaningful for me..."

Shukaku was speechless for a moment.

While the sealing methods used by Sunagakure were indeed a bit crude, there was nothing the medium could do if she was conscious.

"Kid, all I can tell you is not to go looking for death. With this guy's strength, if you rushed up against him, you'd be no bigger than a mosquito at best."

"No, a mosquito might at least bite you. But you... you're probably only about as good as dust."

"laugh!"

Gaara scoffed, "Dust? If I am dust, then what is my value? Only by killing this guy in front of me will I know..."

Shukaku remained silent, recalling what Uchiha Kumo had said to it earlier.

Perhaps he won't kill this brat in front of him...

At the same time, Gaara's ferocious gaze narrowed slightly.

With a casual lift of his hand, a stream of yellow sand suddenly swept towards Yun Xi from the gourd behind him.

Faced with the swirling sand, Yun Yun's left hand, holding the teacup, didn't even flinch.

He swung his right hand out as if swatting a fly.

"Bang!!"

The sand and gravel exploded and scattered all over the ground.

This scene stunned Gaara, who was standing on the wall.

too strong!

No wonder my father was terrified; such power is simply too strong!

Correct!

That's it. Only with such power can one demonstrate the meaning of their existence by killing!

"ah!!"

With a roar, Gaara leaped down, raising both hands.

Instantly, quicksand swept in again.

Yun frowned slightly and casually set up a shielding barrier.

Then it allowed the quicksand to sweep over it and envelop it, forming a sphere of sand that kept squeezing it as if trying to crush its prey.

But the next moment...

"boom!"

The round grain of sand shattered with a punch, and Yun slowly walked out, looking at Gaara: "He's just a child, I don't know why he's so full of hostility..."

The little nine-tailed fox lying nearby seized the opportunity to say, "Yun, it seems that the stupid tanuki didn't guide him very well... How about we drag out the one-tailed fox and give him another beating?"

Yun turned around and glared at it: "I've noticed your style is changing more and more drastically lately, are you a street thug?"

As he spoke, Yun casually brushed away the sand that was rushing towards him again, and the next moment, his figure vanished in an instant.

The cloud reappeared, standing in front of Gaara, its gaze indifferent.

Gaara grinned maliciously, "Such immense power, I wonder if it can break through my absolute defense..."

"Bang!!"

A kick landed squarely on Gaara's side.

At this moment, neither the person nor the automatically defending sand could rise up, let alone react.

"boom!"

Gaara's kick sent the wall flying, shattering it. Yun slowly walked forward and said, "Have you calmed down yet?"

Gaara, with one cheek slightly swollen, struggled to his feet, a trickle of blood slowly flowing down his forehead.

Stimulated by his own blood, Gaara's gaze became even more ferocious.

"Blood...my blood...blood that can feel pain! This feeling...I want to kill you, kill you!"

Gaara, laughing wildly, once again activated the gourd behind him. However, before the sand inside could emerge, Yun Shunshen approached and slapped it back.

The next moment, Yun shook her head slightly and said, "Is he still not awake? He clearly slept long enough today since Yiwei didn't disturb him, right?"

As he spoke, Yun suddenly stomped down again.

"Bang!!"

Gaara was kicked away once again, crashing into the wall and only managing to get up shakily after a long while.

With his cheeks swollen and his dark circles under his eyes, the scene was rather comical.

Even so, this seemingly mentally broken kid still hasn't given up.

The art of feigning sleep!

Feeling drowsy, Gaara collapsed to the ground and fell asleep.

This scene made both Yun and Little Nine-Tailed Fox laugh.

If you can't win, prepare to unleash your ultimate move. But this eight or nine-year-old brat seems to have forgotten that Shukaku was unwilling to fight in the first place. If he comes out now, he'll definitely get beaten up. Only an idiot would come out!

Yun stepped forward, picked Gaara up, casually put him aside, and then patted his swollen face.

After a few moments, although the swelling worsened, the little devil thankfully woke up.

Upon opening his eyes, Gaara immediately saw the clouds and said in a deep voice, "Is it still not enough? I didn't even kill you..."

Yun smiled and replied, "Shouhe wouldn't dare fight me, because it knows that coming out will only get it beaten up, so why would it bother coming out to suffer?"

At this point, Yun looked at Gaara and said, "You have the ability to control sand, but it's different from Magnet Release. To have such power at your age, you're already very strong."

Gaara slightly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the clouds: "That was the power of the monster within me, but even so, I couldn't kill you!"

Yun shook her head slightly: "This power doesn't belong to Shouhe. Given that you came to me, it wouldn't dare lend you even a trace of its power..."

Gaara was stunned as soon as he finished speaking.

It wasn't... the power of that monster, was it?

Gaara raised his hands, his eyes filled with doubt.

Where does the power of sand come from, always protecting itself?

At that moment, he recalled the monster's words from his previous consciousness. Given that attitude, it wouldn't grant him power, would it?

A fleeting smile crossed Yun's eyes before he spoke, "The power of protection isn't from the tailed beasts. It seems the person who gave you this power wants to protect you forever, kid."

Gaara raised his head slightly, a hint of softening appearing in his ferocious gaze: "You mean... someone wants to... protect me forever?"

Yun nodded: "What you possess within you is not just the power of Shukaku. The sand you just encountered contained something that truly protects you."

At this moment, the little nine-tailed fox jumped over and perched on Yun's shoulder, saying, "You're really lenient with kids... Is there something special about this brat?"

special?

In the original story as I remember it, the reason why he was able to become the Fifth Kazekage was perhaps primarily due to the lack of successors in Sunagakure. However, once his personality was corrected, he became the perfect candidate in the plan.

The original intention of stopping Shukaku from disturbing its rest was to plant a seed.

But now that it has delivered itself to our doorstep, why not simply nurture the seed and make it sprout, so that it will remember us completely?

Give them a beating, then lecture them.

This method, based on the power of persuasion, seems surprisingly effective.

"Buzz!"

With a soft sound, the chakra overflowing from Gaara's body was suppressed by Yun.

"Such a random outburst can damage things. Even though you're just a kid, I'll still beat you up."

Gaara slightly raised his head and answered irrelevantly, "Yashamaru said... Mother never loved me."

"Gaara, the demon who only loves himself..."

"Fighting only for myself..."

As Gaara murmured to himself, another image suddenly flashed into his mind.

At that time, Yashamaru's statement was followed by another statement.

"Only in this way can you continue to exist..."

Gaara has never understood the meaning of this sentence.

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... Does that mean your mother has 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 chuckled, "What's the use 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: "The scroll 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; loosen a bit and create a mini-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 our spare time, it's fun to give Yun a couple of good punches, 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 it!"

"I don't want to go out!"

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

"Don't agree to his request..."

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

In his mind's eye, Gaara looked indifferently at the monster before him: "Without him, I don't believe you."

Shukaku was enraged, then flew into a rage: "Bastard! 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: "I told you before to stop disturbing this child's resting, so perhaps I can give you a reward now. The Nine-Tails was able to help me before for this purpose, and 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 moment, Shukaku hesitated and asked, "So, 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're all part of the same divided entity. 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 fools 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 escape loneliness. 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 believe that as human beings, everyone has a few people worth protecting. There must be some in your life too."

"Go and discover it, and 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 desire to offer compassion 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!
