"Master Scorpion, what brings you here this time?"

Sasori's gaze swept over Kankuro in the group, and he explained:

"I met a little guy with some talent, and the old woman asked me to be his teacher and teach him some puppetry techniques."

"Most of my puppets are severely damaged, and it will take time to rebuild them."

"I decided to teach him while collecting materials. Konoha is rich in resources, and many materials can be bought here, so I came."

Deidara glanced at the endearing Kankuro, then turned back to Sasori, saying with a mocking smile:

"I never knew Mr. Scorpion had such a passionate side when it came to teaching."

Scorpion glanced at him indifferently, "There are many things you don't understand."

"Yes, yes, Master Scorpion is very old, almost an antique."

"Stop talking about that, let's find a pub and have a couple of drinks, it's a rare treat to get together like this."

After saying that, Deidara put his arm around Sasori's shoulder, and the two walked towards the tavern.

Kurotsuchi stared in disbelief at Deidara's retreating figure, who didn't even turn around.

"Deidara, are you just going to leave me like this?"

Deidara didn't turn around, he just waved his hand:

"Why don't you wander around by yourself first? Konoha is so safe, you won't get lost."

"What does this have to do with whether the public security is good or not!"

Black Earth glared at him, complaining angrily.

She simply couldn't believe that Deidara had just abandoned her like that.

He accompanied a girl shopping, but then abandoned her to go drinking with other people. His emotional intelligence is truly appalling.

Kurotsuchi pursed her lips, turned around and left. What's the point of wandering around? I might as well go back and practice my ninjutsu.

She seems to have gained some insights recently, and breaking through the limitations is just around the corner.

She will soon be able to switch between light rock and heavy rock modes with ease.

Then she'll be able to fly in the sky and fight on the ground.

Rasa frowned, watching Deidara and Sasori's figures gradually disappear into the distance.

This guy, he just left the team without saying a word?

And he even mingled with the people from Iwagakure. Is that acceptable?

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he couldn't bring himself to be harsh, given the other person's special status.

As the village's foremost puppeteer and also his son's teacher,

Not to mention, even if a rogue ninja returns, he can still be given important responsibilities, which is quite remarkable.

He also has the connection of being the grandson of Elder Chiyo. With Chiyo's support, he is almost omnipotent.

He sighed softly, turned to the few people accompanying him, and said in a low voice:

"Let's keep moving forward and take another look at the geniuses of Konoha."

"Only by learning more can you avoid being easily defeated once the exam begins."

"Yes, Father."

Kankuro and Temari responded positively and with a proactive attitude.

Gaara, on the other hand, remained silent with a gloomy expression.

Just as everyone was preparing to continue, a voice rang out from behind, urgent and clear:

"Wait a moment……"

Luo Sha paused, and the group turned around.

Naruto Uzumaki came running over, his face full of excitement.

"Naruto Uzumaki?"

Information about the child flashed through Luo Sha's mind.

"The son of the Hokage is also a recognized genius."

"Go say hello."

Luo Sha raised his chin slightly and gave the order.

"hello."

Temari introduced herself with a gentle smile and graceful demeanor:

"I am Temari, this is my younger brother Kankuro and Gaara."

Naruto stood before them, a smile also on his face:

"Hi everyone! I'm Naruto Uzumaki."

"Excuse me for disturbing you, everyone."

"Actually, I came to find him. I heard he's also a Jinchūriki. Well, so am I."

“I think we’ll get along well. Can I take him shopping?”

Naruto's gaze fell on Gaara, whose expression was gloomy and who seemed ready to explode at any moment.

His eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Chapter 151 It's still that talk-no-jutsu!

Naruto, who was strolling through the streets with his friends and making new friends, suddenly received a telepathic message from Kurama (the Nine-Tails).

They said that another tailed beast jinchūriki had come to the village, and suggested that Naruto go and make contact with him.

Naruto naturally wouldn't ignore the Nine-Tails, and followed his senses to find this place.

Looking for Gaara?

Temari was taken aback, not expecting that the other party's target was Gaara.

She couldn't make this decision on her own, so she quietly glanced at Luo Sha behind her.

Rasa narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Naruto.

He knew that Naruto Uzumaki was the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, but he was somewhat puzzled.

Both are Jinchūriki, so why does Naruto seem so sunny and cheerful?

Gaara, on the other hand, was always so gloomy, with a cold face towards everyone.

He thought about it for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "Go ahead, it's good to go out and have some fun."

Rasa did not stop him; he had no malicious concern for Konoha or Naruto.

Minato Namikaze won't cause trouble at this juncture; it wouldn't benefit anyone.

In that case, let Naruto freely interact with Gaara.

Gaara is already in this state, so things probably can't get any worse.

Perhaps the interaction between the two Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts will allow Aira to learn how to better control his Tailed Beasts.

Only in this way can Gaara's true value be revealed!

Naruto smiled brightly and reached out to pull Gaara along: "Come on, I'll take you to some fun places."

You might make a lot of new friends!

Unexpectedly, just as Naruto's hand touched Gaara,

The latter reacted violently, forcefully shaking off Naruto's hand: "Don't touch me!"

"Stay away from me, I don't need friends."

Gaara stared coldly at Naruto, his eyes bloodshot.

The surrounding sand grains seemed to be driven by some kind of will, slowly rising.

At that moment, Naruto sensed a strong hostility emanating from Ziara.

Hatred, loneliness, bloodlust, misanthropy...

A barrage of negative emotions washed over him, and Naruto seemed to sense something from them.

A sense of resonance arose in my heart.

He must have had a very hard time these past few years...

Naruto did not back down; instead, he broke into an even brighter smile.

Like a small, blazing sun, it is enough to melt away all the ice.

He took a step forward, his words gentle yet powerful:

"You call me Gaara, right?"

Naruto's voice was as gentle yet unwavering as the warm spring sun:

"Gaara, I know you have unspeakable pain and loneliness hidden in your heart."

"But do you know that I used to be the same? The villagers all saw me as a monster. I had no friends, and all I had was endless loneliness."

“But I never gave up, because I firmly believed that one day I could change their minds with my actions and prove that my existence was a gift, not a curse.”

A flicker of emotion flashed in Gaara's eyes, the surrounding sand seemed to freeze, and the whole world seemed to be listening to every word Naruto spoke.

Naruto continued, "Gaara, you are not alone."

"Everyone in this world has their own pain and challenges to face."

"The key is how we deal with these challenges—whether we let them become shackles that imprison us, or transform them into a driving force that propels us forward."

"Your ability to manipulate sand is so powerful, I believe that behind it lies your true strength in protecting your loved ones."

Airo's eyes became deep and complex, as if years of loneliness and resentment had found an outlet:
