Chapter 90: Be My Son!
Chapter 90: Be My Son!
The huge waves continued rolling down.
Gaara’s body looked tiny. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he quickly wanted to manipulate the yellow sand under his feet to escape.
Rasa stood in the distance, stopping him with a loud shout, “Gaara, don’t run away. Use all the power in your body to summon the beast, Shukaku!”
“…”
Gaara’s attempt to escape stopped.
The Fourth Kazekage’s order was something he couldn’t ignore, not because of Rasa’s identity, but because of Rasa’s power and his accumulated prestige over the years.
Gaara lifted his head as much as he could, looking at the coming waves. His eyes were surrounded by dark circles caused by long-term insomnia. He just bit his lip and said, “…Okay, father.”
“Kazekage-sama!”
Next to the Fourth Kazekage, Baki gritted his teeth and persuaded him, “The power of this ninjutsu may not be something Gaara can resist. Even if Kazekage-sama does not consider him as your youngest son, at least consider him as one of the village people.”
“Baki, there’s no such need!”
Rasa waved his hand to interrupt Baki’s persuasion. He was only looking at Gaara’s figure as it leaped from left to right in the waves. He said coldly, “If Gaara can’t use Shukaku’s power, then he’s just a failed experiment that has no use.”
After finishing talking, Rasa added, “He’s our village’s Jinchuriki first. Then he’s our village’s ultimate weapon. Then he’s a ninja who will use his life for the village. Finally, he’s my son. “
“…”
Baki was unable to speak nor persuade him any further.
As a Kazekage confidant, he couldn’t make any decisions on behalf of the Fourth Kazekage. He could only make appropriate suggestions at certain times for the Fourth Kazekage to choose.
“Sabakuha!” (Sand Wave)
Gaara was still desperately resisting the tidal waves.
Waves of yellow sand under his control delayed the attack, but they were washed away, one after another.
Boom boom!
The billowing waves destroyed Gaara’s defenses. The little red-haired boy drifted in the waves and even choked some water.
As the waves continued to advance, they threatened to submerge the group of Suna ninja. Rasa couldn’t help but finally took action, “Jiton, Sakin Taisō!” (Magnet Release, Gold Dust Imperial Funeral)
A wave of golden sand slammed into the wave of water controlled by Uehara and stopped the wave’s momentum!
The yellow sand mixed with gold dust quickly sank into the ground, forming an impenetrable golden cuboid dam, blocking the tidal wave’s attack.
Uehara could only stop his attack. The water wave, losing the chakra’s support, slowly dispersed.
The Fourth Kazekage’s magnet release was quite interesting.
Gaara finally stood firm and manipulated the yellow sand into his sand gourd.
“Someone in the Ninja world once said that the Fourth Kazekage liked his youngest son very much, so he always kept him by his side. Why doesn’t it look like that!”
Uehara leaned over and rushed down. He glanced at the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, and then at Gaara, who was still a little protective, and couldn’t help but chuckle, “He… when your subordinates encounter danger, you take action, but if it’s your son, you do not. That’s not what a father should do!”
When he heard the rumor, Uehara was almost speechless. Did he travel into Gaara’s dreams?
Uehara once thought that he had come to a fake ninja world. But seeing Rasa treating Gaara so cruelly made him feel a little relieved.
Gaara ignored Uehara’s words. He didn’t care how his father treated him, and he just raised his hand and manipulated the yellow sand!
“Suna Shigure!” (Sand Shower)
The yellow sand swept towards Uehara!
This was Gaara’s best technique and one of his favorites!
Uehara dexterously passed through the strands of yellow sand with the help of his Dancing Air Technique and swooped towards Gaara, “Twilight Blade!”
A purple chakra broadsword appeared beside Uehara!
A group of yellow sand also appeared beside Gaara and quickly formed a wall, resisting Uehara’s attack!
Gaara’s mother, Karura, left that yellow sand to him. The Suna no Tate (Shield of Sand) was the first part of Gaara’s “Absolute Defence” with the Suna no Yurio (Armour of Sand) being the second.
Bang!
The purple chakra broadsword smashed on his sand shield!
Uehara broke the sand shield with one blow!
“How could someone break the Suna no Tate (Shield of Sand)?”
Gaara’s small mouth opened slightly, and his eyes turned to Uehara in amazement. He stepped back nervously, but Rasa was dissatisfied.
The Fourth Kazekage stood in the distance, scolded in a displeased tone, “Gaara, don’t retreat, hurry up and bring out the power of Shukaku!”
“…”
Gaara fell silent.
The eight-year-old boy slowly lowered his head, making it hard to see his expression, but it made people feel his loneliness and sadness.
Especially Uehara, who knows Gaara’s past.
Gaara lost his mother when he was a child. His father Rasa forbade everyone from contacting him and ordered Gaara’s uncle Yashamaru to assassinate him.
Yashamaru was the only one who took care of and cared for Gaara, but he eventually had to assassinate him under Kazekage’s order, only to die due to Gaara’s retaliation.
Gaara had completely fallen…
After that, Gaara became a bloodthirsty person.
However, Gaara’s father Rasa was still tirelessly sending people to assassinate Gaara…
Compared to Gaara, Konoha’s Kuubi’s Jinchuuriki lead a pretty good life. At least Uzumaki Naruto would not be assassinated for no reason, and he had a few friends.
“How could there be such a father…”
Uehara sighed, and a smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, “If it weren’t for my inappropriate age, I really want to say something to you.”
The yellow sand gathered quickly and blocked Gaara again!
The little red-haired boy poked his head out from behind his sand defense, his fierce eyes converged with a hint of curiosity, “What do you want to say?”
“Hmm… be my son!”
Suddenly, Uehara stretched out a hand!
After Uehara finished this weird action, he touched his chin and said, “Little guy, do I look cool saying this?”
“I’m going to kill you!”
Gaara’s face instantly turned furious and, under his control, the sand once again attacked Uehara, “Suna Shigure!” (Sand Shower)
The boy in front of him looked like those who had just graduated from the village ninja academy. He was probably about the same age as his sister Temari.
He was deliberately mocking him!
“Don’t worry. I can’t bear to kill you!”
Uehara chuckled lightly, waved the purple chakra broadsword in his hand, smashing the yellow sand with his sword!
Bang!
The Shield of Sand in front of Gaara was once again split apart by a sword!
Uehara didn’t stop before the yellow sand gathered again. He slammed the broadsword into Gaara’s body.
Gaara flew away, spinning. A crack was visible on his face.
The Armour of Sand, his second line of defense, had also been penetrated by Uehara!
A burst of blood flew out of Gaara’s mouth.
“Cough cough… you’ve irritated me!”
Gaara suddenly raised his head, revealing a half-human, half-monster face!
