Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

"What do you mean?" Gaara asked excitedly.

This was the first big change in Gaara's expression after Kakashi came in.

The original emotionless expression on Gaara's face seemed to be broken at this moment.

After all, that person is an extremely important existence for Gaara.

That person holds the same position as Iruka to Naruto in the original work.

Yashamaru is the only light in Gaara's tragic childhood, although the light has died out.

But the meaning he represents can never be replaced.

"It seems that you still have feelings for this person. Very good, at least it means that you are not a person without feelings." Kakashi said with a smile as he seemed to be very satisfied with Gaara's reaction.

"What the hell are you trying to say." Gaara looked at Kakashi fiercely, and the original killing intent was released at this moment.

It's just that his Chakra was sealed, and his body was also restrained, so his killing intent seemed to have no deterrent.

"I will tell you about something you don't know. I think maybe you have this right to know. Your life is sad enough, and with misunderstandings, it's too bleak."

"Are you sympathizing with me?"

"No, it's not sympathy, it's just a pity. So now, make your choice, do you want to listen or not?" Kakashi asked with a smile.

Gaara hesitated slightly and then, he firmly said: "I want to hear the truth!"

The death of Yashamaru has always been a scar in Gaara's heart.

At that time, he was still young and did not feel that something was wrong.

But now, after thinking about it, he knew that the matter was somewhat strange.

If Yashamaru really hates him, why should he be so gentle to him?

Even if he had accepted the orders of the Yondaime Kazekage, that kind of gentleness could not be disguised.

Gaara has felt others' hostility to him since he was a child, so he can feel very clearly whether Yashamaru's gentleness is true or not.

Even when he thinks about it now, Gaara can feel the gentle light radiating from Yashamaru during that period of time is definitely not fake.

Moreover, Yashamaru is still his uncle...

Even if Yashamaru wants to kill Gaara, there are opportunities in the process of getting along, so why bother to pretend to be an assassin to assassinate him.

However, the final assassination still happened.

There are many doubtful things, but Gaara, who has fallen into the darkness back then, has never thought about these.

Gaara, who is now sober, feels that there are many strange things in that matter.

Gaara is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart.

Being a Kazekage at a young age, even if it is because Sunagakure didn't have any other choice, is enough to explain him potential.

Seeing Gaara accepted his offer, the smile on Kakashi's face became more apparent.

"The story begins when you are born. Your mother's name is Karura. When she gave birth to you, she died."

When Gaara heard this, a flash of gloom light flashed in his eyes.

Yashamaru has told Gaara about this matter before he died.

This is why Yashamaru hates him.

He is indeed a cursed child. He brought death even just after his birth.

"At the time, the previous Shukaku's Jinchūriki Monk Bunpuku has just died, so you were chosen as the next Jinchūriki. The reason is probably because you happen to be Kazekage's son. The Jinchūriki's candidate has always been selected from people related to the Kage."

Hearing this, Gaara's expression turned even bleaker, after all, because this stupid reason, he was burdened with that ridiculous thing.

"Your mother, Karura, who was on her last breath back then, opposed it, but her objection was rejected. In order for the village to continue to hold this powerful weapon, your father, the Yondaime Kazekage still chose you. And your mother, Karura has left you something just before she died. Do you know what is it?"

Kakashi explained and suddenly asked.

Gaara didn't react, and was stunned for a long time.

'Kaa-san left something for me?'

'Why do I never know about it?'

'Was it taken by father?'

'It must be so, otherwise, how could I have never seen it?'

Gaara then shook his head and said nothing.

"It's sand," Kakashi said faintly, but it stirred up the ripples in Gaara's heart.

"Sand?" Gaara repeated blankly.

"Yes, it's those sands. You must have been wondering why those sands are not under your control and always automatically protects you."

"Isn't that Shukaku's strength?"

Kakashi shook his head and said, "Shukaku's strength is destructive, so how can it protect you? Those sands are the last gift your mother left to you."

Gaara was shocked when he heard this, and looked at his hands. He saw fine sands floating there.

At this moment, Gaara seemed to feel the warmth from the sand.

'This... is kaa-san last gift?'

Gaara was a little stunned.

For a while, the warm feeling in the sand poured into him like a tide, making Gaara feel strangely at ease.

"It seems that you have finally felt it." Kakashi said with a smile.

Gaara moved his palm and said, "Are you unlocking the seal that sealed my Chakra? Aren't you afraid that I will escape?"

"You won't, because you still want to know the next story. And with me here, you won't be able to escape even if you want to."

Gaara turned silent when he heard this. Kakashi is right, he won't be able to escape, nor does he want to escape.

"Your mother loves you deeply, and as your uncle, Yashamaru will naturally know this. Therefore, his love for you has never been less."

"Then why did he assassinate me! Why!"

Gaara said with burst of emotion and tears started to overflowed from his eyes uncontrollably.

That was the deepest scar in Gaara's heart, but at this time, it was torn apart bloodily.

"Because he is a Shinobi!" Kakashi said coldly.

Shinobi, what a heavy word.

This identity may carry the heaviest responsibility in this world.

"Shinobi?" Gaara said blankly.

"Yeah, as a Shinobi, obeying orders is a must, so he has to do it. Because that is the order of the Yondaime Kazekage!"

"Order? Why, why not even my father refuse to let me go," Gaara murmured.

"I will not comment too much about your father. In my opinion, his actions are really stupid. He sent Yashamaru not to kill you, but to test your strength. He's testing you, who are just a six-year-old child at that time, to see whether you have become the weapon he wants."

Kakashi snorted disdainfully, he's feeling extremely disdainful for Yondaime Kazekage's action.

Even if the children in this world mature prematurely, how much can a six-year-old child endure?

Not everyone is Uchiha Itachi, who can look at problems with Hokage's point of view at the age of six.
