Temari and kankuro remained silent and rushed back , both of them entered Gaaras room and saw him curled up in a corner .
" Gaara ... Are you alright ? "
Temari asked in concern as no matter what Gaara was still her baby brother , and as the eldest , she had seen what he had gone through and how much gaara had endured .
She regrets it that she isnt capable enough to support him and shoulder the pain brought by being a jinchuriki.
Gaara who had always been hostile and rage full towards temari and kankuro had changed in the last few days , maybe it was because he wasnt always competeing with the one tails to stay in control ...or maybe it was because he realised that he can actually die ... Die a meaningless death and he wont be able to save anyone .
Temari slowly came closer seeing that Gaara hadnt reacted violently as she slowly came and sat next to him .
Kankuro hesitated by followed along and sat on the other side .
" Temari... Kankuro ...am ..am scary ? " Gaara asked in a weak and low voice .
" No ..no .. ofcourse not !! Gaara you are my brother !! You are not scary , you are not he monster ... You are the savior of our village "
Temari immediately tried to comfort gaara .
" Really !!? .. but why ....then why had father always sent people after me .. to kill me !!? "
Gaara asked as his sand cover loosened and for the first time ever in years , Gaara came out of his shell .
Temari didnt know how to answer it as she raised her hand towards his head and started patting him gently .
" Gaara ... Father is not only our father but also the hokage ...he is burdened by nit only our safety but also the safety of the entire village .
He is the hope and protector of the people of the sunagakure "
Temari said .
" Gaara , Father never wanted to kill you , he lives you ...loves you more than you know gaara but he is also weak ...and knows that without you and the one tail , Sunagakure is weak and can be attacked by other villages .
That is why he wanted to train you to become a perfect jinchuriki and gain Shukakus power and acceptance. He has been hoping for you to surpass him as only you can ... Not us ... Not temari ...not me...not the old folks "
Gaara eyes opened wide as he learnt all of this .
Temari who was still patting his head , closed the gap and hugged gaara .
" Dont worry ,Gaara we are here for you and we will also be here for you ."
Tanuki who was also hearing everything pouted as he closed his eyes and went to sleep .
For gaara it was incredible, as this was maybe the first night ever in his life that he felt at peace and without any voices in his head .
...
The next morning , the remaining genins who had passed the first test , woke up early and rushed to the Forest of Death .
The venue for the second test , Naruto areived late as kumi wouldnt let him go without a morning lesson .
Sasuke who had been waiting for Naruto immediately complained .
" Where the hell were you idiot !! "
" Sorry sorry ... You know i am a heavy sleeper !! "
Naruto in good mood didnt taunt back at sasuke , as today will a day that will be unforgettable for little sasuke and probably push him forward to his goal .
Naruto was also looking forward to it .
Anko arrived and started to tell everyone about the rules , Naruto and sasuke recieved their scroll and entered the forest of death .
" Lets hide first !! " Sasuke suggested as Naruto didnt argue and followed .
After a hour suddenly the two of them were ambushed .
" Sound ninja ? ...why are you attacking us ?"
Naruto asked
" Hehe ..why he ask ...idiot .. leave him ...go after the target !! "
Dosu kinuta ordered his other team mate as the two rushed to attack sasuke .
Unfortunately for them , Sasuke was no longer a weakling , he had already awakened the third tomoe sharingan and was not going to me defeated .
Especially not infront of naruto .
Naruto on the other hand was playing the oart of fool in front of Dosu .
Making mistakes and getting thrashed again and again , he was just buying time .
To be honest , Naruto had no plan of revealing his strength as he didnt know if Orichimaru was already here and spying on them or not .
Especially when the Sound village was nothing but a puppet of Orichimaru .
.....
" NARUTO !!! stop playing around and kill him !! "
" idiot ... If i could i would have already stupid sasuke !!! "
Naruto shouted back as he was punch by dosu due to being distracted by sasuke and flew back ten of meter and struck a tree .
" Dammit !!! Naruto !!! "
" Fireball jutsu !!! "
" Shadow shuriken jutsu !! "
Sasuke saw that naruto had no plan on helping , immediately went all out and decided to run away !!
Using the change created by his jutsu , Sasuke jumped towards Naruto and grabbed him by the collar and ran !!
" WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU NARUTO !!! "
Sasuke shouted at Naruto who was still acting like a weak idiot .
But Naruto had no plan on revealing his true self ...not here atleast .
...
After sasuke and naruto escaped , Dosu and others were contacted by Orichimaru as a white snake appeared in their path .
" Stop ..go and collect the scroll from others ...ill handle the rest !! "
Hearing the command , The sound genins didnt think twice and rushed in a different direction.
Orichimaru who had been observing the fight , appeared out of a tree branch as he licked his lips and his verticla slit eyes focused on the escaping sasuke .
' What takent !!! Kabuto ...it seems you are lacking , you didnt even know that sasuke kun had already actuvated his third tomoe... Subarashi !!! ..with such a talented body !! Ill reach a entirely new domain of strength and Ill have the uchiha bloodline in my grasp !! '
As the memory of being defeated by those red eyes resurfaced in his mind , Orichimaru long tongue licked his lips asthe lust for sasuke deepened even more .
...
Sasuke carried naruto for the next hour as after ensuring that he wasnt beung followed , Sasuke threw Naruto down and sat down himself .
Naruto still acring , was having his fun with kumi in his mind space as Kumi was informing him about how hinata was doing .
" Tsk .. i dont know why you are acting like this idiot but snap out of it .. "
Sasuke spoke to the ' unconscious ' Naruto .
Who after having his fun with kumi , decided that he can now wake up .
" Aah ..sasuke !!! You saved us !!! ..incredible !! How strong are you now !!?
Sasuke felt his face twitch as he heard the fake praise feom Naruto .
