Tsunade, you're really drunk!

The moment Gaara and Shino Aburame stepped onto the arena, the audience suddenly became quiet, and everyone was whispering to their acquaintances around them.

"This Aburame Shino seems to be from the Aburame clan. Although I know there is this clan in Konoha and it seems to be quite powerful, I don't think I've seen it very often."

"I heard from a friend that the Aburame clan seems to be quite aloof. Because they are insect masters, they rarely show up in the village."

The Aburame clan always gives people this feeling. Even if they appear in the crowd, they will give people the illusion that their presence is extremely low...

As for the audience from Sunagakure, most of them looked at Gaara with disgust and disdain.

"This guy is only useful at times like this. Although he is a disaster for the village, his strength is extraordinary."

"That's right. I've staked my entire fortune on this guy. I don't believe this monster will lose."

"Humph, it would be a shame if we don't make good use of such a monster to make some money..."

At this moment, Gaara could feel the malice of those guys, but he didn't care about what others thought. He just silently looked in the direction of his father Rasa.

It seemed as if he wanted to look at the other person through the one-sided glass wall.

At this moment, Luo Sha looked at Gaara with a calm expression.

In the past few days, according to Maki's report, the tailed beast in Gaara's body seems to have stabilized a lot.

For Gaara, his heart has always been controlled by an extremely complicated emotion.

As the Kazekage, he is a qualified Kazekage in his supervision and strictness towards the Jinchūriki.

On the other hand, as a father...

He himself knew very well that he was not a qualified father to Gaara. After the death of the previous Jinchuriki of Shukaku, in order to ensure that Sunagakure continued to have the deterrent power of Jinchuriki.

Three Jinchūriki were replaced one after another, but all of them went berserk and died. He had to suppress them personally. Just when he was worried about the issue of Jinchūriki, Granny Chiyo made a suggestion.

That is to let him, who has the power to suppress Shukaku, give birth to a child, and seal Shukaku in the child's body while the child is still in the womb.

In this way, the child will not only be born with a physique that can adapt to Shukaku, but will also be able to inherit the power to suppress Shukaku.

Faced with internal and external troubles, for the sake of the village, he agreed to Chiyo's proposal.

At first, he thought everything was very beautiful, and said to his wife Karura: This child will inherit his and Shukaku's power, and will lead the Sand Village to a new peak!

But when Gaara was born, reality came with a wave of bad news as if it was a joke.

His beloved, Karula, was pregnant. For the sake of the village, his expectations for the future, and even more for his own flesh and blood, she used her chakra all the time to resist the erosion of Shukaku's power for the child in her belly.

She eventually died in childbirth.

At this moment, he was not Fengying, he was just an ordinary husband.

After finishing the work with the Kazekage, when I arrived at the delivery room, I could only see Karura's body covered with a white cloth.

With trembling hands, he lifted the white cloth and saw the last expression on his wife's face. Why was it a smile?

Why……

All the beauty in his heart and his dream of protecting Sand Village with his wife were shattered at this moment.

Looking at the tiny premature baby in the baby basket beside him, he felt only ruthless and endless regret.

Why did I listen to Chiyo's advice?

Why didn't I realize at the time that this matter was full of danger for Karula?

Why do I have to endure such torture even though I have reached the top of the ninja world and become a Kage?

Why, it was this child who survived, not Karula!

He lifted the baby basket next to him high up and wanted to throw it directly to the ground!

But just as he was about to take action, he saw three red words on the white cloth wrapped around the child. Although he was trembling and blurry, he couldn't help but shed tears at this moment.

【I, love, Luo】

"Gaara..."

"Karura, is this the name for this child?"

How could he not understand the meaning of this sentence? She loved him, so she would agree to his request and give birth to this child. At the same time, it also meant that this child was the fruit of her and his love.

At this moment, the movements of his hands stopped.

From then on, he was just the ruthless man named Kazekage.

The passing of Karura took away his last feelings...

"My heart has long been as dry as a tree"

"People in this world may live in humiliation or die bravely. In the end, it is all meaningless. I will meet her again at the end of my life."

"She is waiting in the safe place of the soul. My Karura, my love. My heart that is as broken as the scorched earth."

"Karuro, my beloved, her death also took away Luosha. The ruthless shadow has descended from now on."

"I will guard this last Sand Village until the end of my life, no matter how heavy the price is, even if I lose my life and dignity."

"I trapped myself in this fragmented position of power, hoping to meet her until we fulfill our final promise."

Luo Sha sat on the chair, looking at Gaara, herself and her child, through the glass.

"Prove to me the value and meaning of your existence."

"I look forward to... meeting her again in the Pure Land."

At this moment, he was looking at Gaara through the screen, just like he and Karura, separated by the two sides of life.

How painful it is that we can never meet again...

……

In the arena, as the signal gun in Ji Feng's hand rang out, the two men simultaneously distanced themselves from each other.

One is the Child of Sand who controls sand, and the other is the Insect Master who controls insects.

The battle between the two is about to break out.

Gaara's light green eyes were filled with desire and pleading for victory.

Longing for victory and hoping for the arrival of "love".

On the other side, Aburame Shino was as calm and composed as ever, but no one could see his desire for victory beneath his sunglasses.

In this battle, he wanted to prove that he had successfully demonstrated and realized Teacher Qianye's idea.

Although insects are small, they are so powerful!

Today, he will show everyone in the ninja world the true form of an Insect Master.

One man can form an army! He is the king of all insects!

At this moment, the parasitic insects in his body silently dug through the floor of the arena from under his feet and began to build a nest underneath.

At the same time, Gaara poured chakra into the sand gourd behind him. The stopper at the mouth of the sand gourd, which was the same size as his, was directly flushed out by the sand filled with violent chakra.

"Sand-bound coffin."

It turned into sand waves and swept towards Shino in the air.

The surging yellow sand turned into invisible hands of sand at this moment and grabbed Shino's body directly!
