Blacksmiths from Hokage

Chapter 148 Naruto and Gaara
After putting away all the props, Kurayoshi returned to the player platform to watch the battle.

Temari and Shikamaru are fighting in the arena.

It turned out that the second time was Kankuro's battle with Yume Shino.

However, Kankuro chose to abstain in order to save his energy.

In the third round, Shikamaru Temari took the top spot.

but……

"Hasn't Shikamaru abstained?"

Kurayoshi was a little curious as he looked at Shikamaru, who was hiding behind a big tree and thinking about problems with a dejected expression on the field.

In the anime, Shikamaru is also preparing to abstain.

As a result, Naruto kicked him from behind.

Now Naruto has not rushed to the duel field, I don't know who let him go down to participate in the competition.

Judging by the expression, it doesn't look like he has changed his will.

"Kurayoshi, you are too much!"

Just when Kurayoshi was thinking wildly, Naruto's voice came from behind.

Well, forget it.

Kurayoshi smiled, turned around to look, and Naruto's figure happened to come out from inside.

Naruto came to Kuangyoshi and said angrily: "It was agreed to help me practice, but after throwing me to the lustful fairy, he ran away!"

"I can't help it!" Kuangyoshi shrugged, with a helpless expression on his face, "That's the legendary Sannin. In terms of teaching people, I can't beat him."

"It is!"

Naruto nodded approvingly, and then changed the subject, saying to himself, "Kangyoshi, I've become a lot stronger this month, so I'll see you in the final."

"You'd better beat Gaara first!"

Hearing Kurayoshi mention it, Naruto remembered that his opponent in the first round was Gaara.

The conflict on the street a month ago, and the invincible posture of Gaara when he crushed the opponent in the second qualifier all made Naruto feel a lot of pressure.

Although he has become stronger this month, he is still not 100% sure of winning the game.

but……

Even if you are not sure, you cannot lose your momentum.

Naruto's momentum rose instantly, "It's just Gaara, I will definitely win."

"is it?"

A faint voice came from behind.

Naruto froze and turned around slowly, only to see Gaara looking at him calmly.

However, although his expression was very calm, those bloodshot eyes were full of killing intent, which made people feel chilling.

Naruto shivered subconsciously.

Then mustered up the courage, took a step forward, pointed at Gaara to provoke, "Yes, I am going to be the man of Hokage! How could I lose to others!"

"very good!"

The corners of Gaara's mouth raised slightly, outlining a sneer, "Only in this way, killing is interesting."

After speaking, he glanced at Kurayoshi who had been watching the show, turned and left.

Sand Hidden's platform is opposite.

He just saw Naruto and wanted to come over and see what kind of guy this person like himself was.

result……

Ha ha!

……

Seeing Gaara's back disappearing into the darkness in the passage, Naruto's legs softened and he reached the ground.

"What kind of look is that!" Naruto couldn't help but fear: "That hatred seems to kill everyone, and..."

"envy!"

"Eh?"

Naruto looked at Kurayoshi who suddenly interrupted, blinked, and asked, "You know that?"

Kurayoshi smiled and said, "Gaara is just like you, there is a monster sealed in his body."

"Is he like me?"

Naruto was a little taken aback, as if he never thought that there were people in the world who had suffered the same as him.

"That's right." Cangji nodded, and said: "Not only is the monster sealed in the same body, but the experience you had when you were young is also very similar, but he is worse."

Naruto didn't speak, just quietly waiting for the next sentence.

Kurayoshi leaned against the railing, looking up at the white clouds drifting across the sky.

"Shouhe is sealed in his body. Because the seal is incomplete, he has not dared to sleep since he was born, otherwise his body will be taken away by Shouhe."

"Moreover, people are afraid of the monster in his body, afraid of power, and thus afraid of people who are afraid of the monster of the sealer. This point is clearer than you!"

"what!"

Naruto nodded, and said sadly: "No one wants to approach me. They look at me with fear, fear, and hatred. No matter what I do, I can't get approval. That kind of look..."

Recalling the way the villagers looked at him when he was young, Naruto couldn't help shivering.

"You're okay!" Kurayoshi smiled, "Although most of the villagers are afraid to hate you, but I, Iruka, Shikamaru and others recognize your existence."

"Yeah!" A smile appeared on Naruto's face, "Sometimes I can't help but think, if it weren't for you, I don't know what I would be like, every time I can't help but think deeply, every time Every time I feel fear, that kind of me is absolutely unacceptable to me now."

"However, Gaara has gone on a path that you absolutely cannot accept!" Kurayoshi sighed: "Not only adults, but children of the same age are afraid of him, and even, because of long-term sleeplessness and mental instability, his father Kazekage They all wanted to kill him, so that the only uncle who loved him died in the hands of Gaara."

Naruto couldn't help shaking his hands.

He changed his mind, what would happen if he killed Iruka and Kurayoshi himself?
Totally unimaginable.

"So, seeing that you, who are also Renzhuli, have friends and loved ones, he is very jealous, so jealous that he desperately wants to kill you!"

"……call!"

Naruto was silent for a while, and took a deep breath.

He stood up, turned around, and looked at Gaara, who had returned to the sand hidden stage, with firm eyes.

"I will definitely defeat him, and I will definitely rescue him from hell!"

"Really." Kurayoshi smiled slightly, "Looking forward to your performance."

At this time, there was warm applause from the audience.

The two looked down the court, Shikamaru bound Temari with his shadow and conceded.

However, although lost.

But the cheers and applause from the audience were all for him.

He brought a wonderful intellectual duel to all.

Shikamaru Temari each left the stage, Hayate shouted towards the contestant stage: "The next match, Gaara vs. Uzumaki Naruto."

"It's your turn." Kurayoshi looked at Naruto.

"Ok!"

Naruto nodded and jumped straight down.

Gaara, on the other hand, is a sand body, dissipating like sand incarnation, and gathering and forming in the field like sand.

Seeing that the two were seated, Haifeng nodded, "Then, the game begins."

However, neither of them moved.

They stood five meters apart, looking at each other.

The smoked wind blew, setting off a burst of dust.

Naruto looked at Gaara's indifferent eyes and expression, and felt a little complicated in his heart.

"I heard Kurayoshi talk about your situation."

"Ok?"

"There is also a monster sealed inside me."

Naruto caressed the seal on his stomach, as if he was talking, but also as if he was talking to himself, "Being feared, hated, alienated... I have also experienced these things, but..."

Naruto raised his head and looked at him firmly, "I will never become like you, I will never let go of this bond that I have acquired so hard, and I will save you from the hell I have experienced before." Pull it out!"

"You are--"

The sand rose like a wave, and with Gaara's anger, it rushed towards Naruto.

"Say something inexplicable!"
