Gaara has a lot of courage.
Ever since Gaara's temperament drastically changed, he has never feared anyone except his father, Rasa, because no one has been able to break through the Guardian Sand defense he was born with.
This also built Gaara's strong confidence.
This red-haired little boy never hesitates when he wants to kill someone.
The Hidden Sand Ninja saw Akihara Kagura and Jiraiya, and his face clearly showed a moment of surprise. Suddenly, he grinned sinisterly at them, "If you want to kill someone, then go ahead and do it. If necessary, you can even use the monster inside you."
"Oh?"
Gaara was somewhat surprised.
Whenever the monster inside appeared, Rasa would always be extremely angry, and no one had ever told him he could use the monster inside.
"Alright!"
Gaara swiftly raised his palm!
A mass of yellow sand, under his control, flew out and wrapped around the waiting Akihara Kagura, trying to suffocate him directly with it!
This scene instantly shocked everyone!
Jiraiya, who had just finished talking with the caravan leader and was chatting with a foreign woman in the caravan, saw a mass of yellow sand attacking Akihara Kagura!
"Huh?"
Jiraiya was somewhat taken aback!
"What's wrong?"
The woman, seeing Jiraiya somewhat distracted, followed his gaze to the flying yellow sand, "Someone can control sand..."
"Well, it is The Hidden Sand Village after all..."
Jiraiya casually replied, watching as Kagura punched the sand apart, and then turned back to the woman beside him, "Ah, I'm really sorry, I might have to take care of a little trouble first. How about we meet at the inn tonight?"
"Of course."
The woman was a bit stunned, then covered her lips and nodded with a smile.
Jiraiya swiftly returned to Akihara Kagura's side, pressing down on Kagura's wrist, following his gaze to see the red-haired boy controlling sand.
"Jiraiya-sensei."
Akihara Kagura looked a bit innocent, shrugging as he spoke, "The people from The Hidden Sand Village want to kill me, so now, whatever I do, I can't be blamed, right?"
"..."
Jiraiya didn't know what to say.
To be honest, this disciple had made significant progress. At least when he wanted to do something extreme, he was willing to find a reason...
On the other hand...
How exactly does The Hidden Sand Village educate their children?
Kids this young dare to use Ninjutsu to attack others?
"Jiraiya-sensei."
Akihara Kagura looked directly into Jiraiya's eyes, "If you're my teacher, at this point, you should stand by my side no matter what, right? This time, nothing I do would be considered extreme, right?"
"You could say that he's just a child, I can let him live, but as the cost of his survival, can I kill the Kazekage of The Hidden Sand Village?"
"..."
Jiraiya looked at his disciple, seemingly able to tell his grievances, carefully trying to speak a few good words for Rasa, lest this disciple really kills the Kazekage.
However...
Someone interrupted him.
Over there, Gaara, realizing his attack failed, controlled an even larger mass of yellow sand to engulf Akihara Kagura and Jiraiya!
"Whose kid is this!"
Jiraiya could only raise his hand and scatter all the sand with a Rasengan. His gaze sharply fell on the Hidden Sand Ninja beside Gaara, "Can you control him!"
"..."
The Hidden Sand Ninja was clearly taken aback by Jiraiya's question, then sneered, "This is Gaara, the youngest son of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa of The Hidden Sand Village..."
"..."
Jiraiya's body suddenly stiffened.
No wonder this brat dares to be so arrogant here...
"This time, it's the Kazekage's fault!"
Akihara Kagura's expression clearly shook, as if he had just learned Gaara's identity, he immediately spoke, "Now, whatever we do is right. If The Hidden Sand Ninja attacks the Konoha Ninja, doesn't that break the alliance?"
"Uh..."
Jiraiya was momentarily stunned, quickly restraining his noticeably excited disciple, "Hey, hey, calm down a bit, don't pin such a big charge on a little kid..."
Akihara Kagura continued to argue with his teacher, "Jiraiya-sensei, with this Jutsu, that red-haired kid definitely isn't just a student anymore, at least he's a Ninja capable of going to war, right? So we should consider him a Ninja, right?"
"Well, that was during the Ninja World War..."
Jiraiya continued to debate, "Now is a time of peace, no Ninja Village would send such young children to the battlefield..."
"The Hidden Sand Ninja attacks us, we can consider this moment the start of the Fourth Ninja War, and it might even be recorded in history books..."
Akihara Kagura even proactively highlighted the red-haired boy's name, "Gaara, the son of the Fourth Kazekage of The Hidden Sand Village, attacked a Konoha Ninja, breaking the alliance between The Hidden Sand and Konoha, triggering the Fourth Ninja War, leading to the downfall of The Hidden Sand Village..."
"Hey, hey, hey, can a little guy withstand such a big charge..."
"I'll kill you all!"
Gaara still didn't realize the seriousness of the situation and controlled his sand to sweep toward the two, trying to bury them in yellow sand again!
