Naruto: I didn't say this is the real Hokage.

Chapter 221 Welcome back

"Kill you, I must kill you!"

“I want to… demonstrate my worth!”

Gaara's sand can no longer trap Kankuro.

Before the sand even got close to Kanjiro, it was completely corroded by the black poisonous fog, turning into pools of sticky black unknown liquid that fell to the ground, dissolving into pits one after another in the ground.

Kankuro walked towards Gaara step by step stiffly, like a machine;

Having lost his mind, he was acting entirely on his remaining instincts, muttering something.

"Hey, kid... do you really not need my help?"

“Thanks Shukaku, but I won’t need it.

This is a matter between us brothers, so let us brothers settle it ourselves."

“Tsk~ I don’t care if you die… Be careful, this black fog is not easy to deal with.”

In fact, Gaara didn't need Shukaku to remind him. He had already realized that the black mist released by Kankuro could not only corrode physical objects, but even the chakra released from Gaara's body was being eroded by it all the time.

The reason why Gaara can still stand here safely is all due to the immune physique given to him by Naruto.

"Don't worry Shukaku, I won't do anything I'm not sure of."

"Hmph!... Be careful, I don't want to find a new Jinchūriki for the time being..."

After declining Shukaku's request for help, Gaara took back all the sand that had not yet been eroded and stood quietly waiting for Kankuro's arrival.

Even until Kankuro walked in front of Gaara, he didn't make any movement.

But Kankuro swung his fist and hit Gaara directly in the cheek.

The Sand Guardian suddenly appeared, trying to block Kankuro's punch for Gaara;

But the black mist lingering on the fist instantly eroded the yellow sand blocking the way ahead, and hit Gaara's face heavily without any pause.

Gaara's head tilted and a bruise quickly appeared on his cheek.

This was the first time Gaara was truly injured in his battle with Kankuro.

"Roar!!!"

Seeing that Gaara was hit, Kankuro immediately let out an excited roar and followed with his other fist.

However, this time it failed to hit Gaara as he had hoped;

Gaara raised his hand to block it, and took the opportunity to retaliate, punching Kankuro in the face with the same incredible force.

Bang!

Hit the bullseye!!!

Gaara's fist hit Kankuro's nose accurately, making his already distorted face even more distorted.

Kankuro threw a punch, and Gaara punched back;

Kankuro kicked, but Gaara responded with a kick.

Under the cover of black fog, it was clearly a duel between two ninjas, but neither side used their special ninjutsu;

Instead, it was like a fight between thugs, with each punching the other.

During the whole process, compared to Gaara's silence, Kankuro's low roar never stopped.

"Kill you……"

"I am a weapon..."

"Father's order..."

"...value...damn it...I must...kill you!"

Kankuro hummed, roared, and kept repeating the twisted theory of "the value of weapons" that Rasa had forced into him.

Gaara said nothing, ignored everything, and only focused on returning Kankuro's punches and kicks with the same force and angle;

Until both of them were beaten black and blue, until...

"…Give me back my…life…"

After hearing Kankuro's intermittent words, a light suddenly flashed in Gaara's eyes.

The clenched fist was aimed at Kankuro's face just like before, but the difference was...

"What did you say?!

Speak louder, I can't hear you!!!"

This was the first time Gaara spoke during the fist-fighting fight between the brothers.

Bang! ! !

Gaara's fist hit Kankuro's face hard, knocking his entire head to the side;

Kankuro took advantage of the situation and kicked out, hitting Gaara's waist hard.

There were waves of pain in his waist, but Gaara ignored it. He grabbed Kanjuro's kicking leg with his backhand, then raised his leg to sweep towards Kanjuro's other leg and tripped him to the ground.

Bang! ! !

……

Gaara pressed Kankuro under him tightly, and his fists rained down on Kankuro's face.

"what's on your mind?!

Kankuro, tell me what the hell you are thinking, bastard!!!"

“Kankuro!

I asked you to speak out loud, what exactly are you longing for in your heart? ! "

"I'm here, I'm right here... Kankuro!!!"

Every punch that landed was accompanied by Gaara's roar and questions to Kankuro.

Under Gaara's questioning one after another, Kankuro's dull eyes gradually lit up with a little light... He regained some of his consciousness.

Gaara, who was on top of Kankuro, was kicked away by him.

Kankuro quickly got up from the ground, and the black mist that was dissipating from his body gathered on his fists at this moment, as if he was wearing a pair of black boxing gloves.

Bang! ! !

……

This time it was Gaara's turn to be pinned to the ground and beaten by Kankuro.

"Gaara you bastard!"

"Give it back to me...Give my life back to me!!!"

"I'm not a weapon... I'm a human being. I'm a living person!!!"

Kankuro's punches were getting heavier with each one, and each one hit Gaara's face mercilessly;

But Gaara, who was beaten, had no desire to fight back. He just smiled and looked at Kankuro who was pretending to be crazy.

"Go to your fucking Sand Village! Go to your fucking weapons! Go to your fucking Luosha!!!"

Kanjiro said the three "Go to your mother" in one breath without any pause.

Kankuro's hysterical look seemed as if he wanted to vent all the suffering he had endured over the years through these few swear words.

"That's right, get rid of your weapons! Get rid of your Luosha!!!"
