March Rain City.

City Lord's Mansion.

Gaara is reviewing documents.

He is now temporarily serving as the deputy city lord of March Rain City.

This is a job assigned to him by Naruto himself, in order to train Gaara's ability to handle affairs.

According to the original work, Gaara became the Wind Shadow at the age of fifteen, and served for more than 20 years until the Boruto period. Moreover, the Wind Country under his tenure has been freed from poverty to a certain extent in the future. In other words, he is fully qualified to be a leader, but Gaara is still inexperienced, so Naruto assigned him this position.

The deputy city lord is responsible for handling violent incidents and public security in the city on weekdays, and the business content is just right for Gaara now.

When he is fully proficient in the business and has his own political skills, he will officially become the Prime Minister of the Whirlpool Country, which is the highest power throne of the Whirlpool Country today.

This may take a few years, or even longer.

But Naruto didn't urge him. Anyway, as long as Naruto didn't die, the Whirlpool Country would always be ruled by Naruto Uzumaki, and he couldn't change the world.

Naruto didn't urge him, which meant there was no pressure from his superiors.

Gaara could live a leisurely life.

But he worked day and night because he hoped to help Naruto more as soon as possible.

At this time, Gaara was a little grateful to Shukaku.

Because of its existence, Gaara didn't need to sleep, so he could work for a long time.

Today, he was also handling official business conscientiously.

But just after taking a document, he suddenly stopped.

He felt a few familiar chakras.

Putting down the documents and pen in his hand, Gaara got up and left the office.

Outside the city lord's mansion.

Four people were negotiating with the guard.

"What's going on." Gaara's voice suddenly came from above.

The guard looked up and knelt on one knee, saying, "Mr. Deputy City Lord, these people want to see you. I told them that you don't see guests when you are at work, but they refused. I am negotiating with them."

The four visitors were all from Sunagakure.

And they were all acquaintances of Gaara.

They were Gaara's sister, brother, and teacher, and an old woman.

That is, Temari with four ponytails, puppeteer Kankuro, and Maki who killed Gekkou Gale with one sword in the original work. The last old woman was Chiyo, the top master of Sunagakure.

Bang.

The lid of the gourd behind Gaara loosened.

Sand came out of the gourd.

"Gaara, wait!" Temari was shocked. She thought Gaara was going to attack them.

However, to everyone's surprise, Gaara's sand did not attack them, but gently lifted up the guard who was kneeling on one knee.

Gaara sighed and said, "I have said it many times. The Kingdom of Whirlpool will be a society ruled by law in the future. Everyone is equal and there is no need to kneel down to pay respect."

The guard scratched his head and said, "Yes... I'm sorry, Lord Gaara. I was used to kneeling to the masters of the Kingdom of Lightning in the past, and I couldn't change it for a while."

Gaara: "In the future, no one is worthy of your kneeling. I am not worthy either. Remember that."

The guard hurriedly raised his head and chest: "Yes!"

Nodding to the guard, Gaara looked at the people from Sunagakure and said, "Follow me."

Then he turned around and returned to the city lord's mansion.

The people from Sunagakure looked at each other.

Is this still the Gaara they know?

How could that little brat who wanted to kill people at any time become like this now?

Although they were shocked, they could only suppress their doubts and follow Gaara into the city lord's mansion.

The reception room.

Gaara sat opposite everyone.

"Everyone, please enjoy your meal. If you want some snacks, you can always tell me."

A girl about Gaara's age made a pot of tea for everyone, and then retreated behind Gaara.

Gaara looked at the people in front of him and said, "Do you have something to do with me?"

Temari frowned and said, "Gaara, why don't you go back to Sand Village if you are fine?"

Gaara: "Why do you want to go back?"

Chiyo suddenly interrupted: "Sand Village is your home. If you don't go back, what will it look like outside? And, do you know that because of your absence, your clan is now under great criticism. After all, you have a tailed beast in your body, which is our Sand Village's most powerful weapon and a precious asset of the village. Your disappearance has caused Sand Village to suffer a huge loss. It also makes us a head shorter than other villages. Don't say anything, just go back with us."

Temari and Kankuro looked at Gaara nervously.

In their impression, Gaara is not a good-tempered person. Even if it is his own people, he will take action.

Chiyo is a good person, except that she is old.Later, he became old-fashioned and eccentric, and his attitude was unusually tough, and he always spoke with a commanding tone.

This would definitely anger Gaara.

However, Gaara was extremely calm.

He shook his head slowly, then looked at Temari and Kankuro: "I know what you mean, but please go back. I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I can't stay with you for long."

After that, Gaara stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Temari hurriedly said, "Gaara, just like Chiyo said, Sand Village is your home, are you really not going to go back?"

Gaara: "Home... Temari, what is home?"

"This..." Temari didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Chiyo answered: "The Sand Village gave birth to you, raised you, taught you ninjutsu and made you successful. It is your home."

Gaara nodded: "Indeed. However, the word home should also have some matching prefixes. Warmth, harmony, and love. The Sand Village does not have any of the above. Or rather... I don't have it. I am the weapon of the village. The village needs me to kill people and plunder land. I don't like it. The people in the village regard me as a monster. No one cares if I live or die. My father regards me as an enemy, and my brothers avoid me like snakes and scorpions. A place I don't like, with a group of people who don't like me, can that place really be called 'home'?"

Chiyo frowned , with obvious displeasure on his face: "What kind of magic potion did Uzumaki Naruto give you? Why do you miss this place so much?"

Gaara: "He didn't give me anything. Strictly speaking, I was attracted to him. We are both Jinchūriki and have similar experiences. The path I chose is to work hard to prove my worth and make myself a real monster, but it turns out that monsters are monsters. No matter how valuable you are, no one likes a monster. In other words, if I were just an ordinary person and there was no tailed beast in my body, would you still come all the way to find me?"

The people in Sand Village were silent.

Gaara continued: "Naruto is similar to me, but he chose another path. He let me know a fact, that is, my own destiny should be in my own hands. I was attracted to him and willingly followed him on another path. This is my answer to you. That's it."

After speaking, Gaara turned and left.

Grandma Chiyo shook her hand, and a scroll was held in her hand.

She was about to activate the scroll to summon the puppet, but saw a hand on her shoulder.

"How is it possible!?"

Chiyo was horrified, and she quickly turned around and kicked.

The man who was holding her shoulder was forced back.

The others realized it later and quickly took out their weapons to prepare for the battle.

A boy about the same age as Gaara stood not far away among the crowd.

Maki's eyes condensed: "Uzumaki... Naruto!?"

Chiyo's expression also became serious when she heard this: "Is this Uzumaki Naruto?"

Chiyo is a hero of Sunagakure. She made great contributions to Sunagakure in the second and third wars and is a legendary female ninja.

Although she is old now, her experience and experience tell her that this young man is extraordinary. If she takes action, she may not be able to get away with it.

Compared with the solemnity of the others, Naruto is much more relaxed.

He smiled and said, "Everyone, if you are here to visit, I welcome you, after all, you are all Gaara's relatives and elders. But if you come to rob Gaara, that won't work, after all..."

As Naruto spoke, his figure suddenly flashed and disappeared.

Everyone was startled and hurried to look for him.

Finally, they found him next to Gaara.

At this time, Naruto put his arm around Gaara's shoulders, and then pulled hard, holding himself tightly against Gaara.

"Gaara is also my beloved relative, brother."
