Konoha's White Teeth Shine

Chapter 472 Friends, Naruto and Gaara

Kushina didn't refute any more, but handed Gaara the clothes again.

Gaara didn't refuse again, and changed clothes one after another obediently.

After changing all the clothes that Kushina chose, Gaara was out of breath.

After that, he and Kushina went home with big and small bags.

In the evening, Naruto returned home after a day of practice.

"I'm back~"

Naruto yelled, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw an extra pair of shoes at home, and couldn't help being a little puzzled.

With doubts, he changed his shoes and walked into the house.

At this time, Minato had returned, and Kushina and Kushina were busy in the kitchen, so they couldn't respond to Naruto.

But after walking a few steps, Naruto saw a familiar figure.

"I... Gaara, why are you here?"

Gaara stood up and scratched his head: "That...may be disturbing your family recently, Naruto."

Naruto understood it immediately, and quickly ran to Gaara and grabbed his shoulders: "Hey, I didn't expect you to come to my house as a guest, I really didn't expect it. By the way, have you ever visited my house? Don't want me to take you to see?"

At this time, Kushina walked out of the kitchen, saw Naruto holding Gaara, and suddenly put his waist in displeasure: "Naruto, don't take Gaara too far, we are going to eat soon !"

"Understood, Mom, I am taking Gaara to see my room~" Naruto quickly explained with sweat profusely.

"You seem to be very afraid of your mother~" Gaara looked curious.

Naruto wiped his sweat: "Yes. My mother may be the scariest creature in the world, but she is also the best person in the world."

Gaara became even more curious: "Why? Isn't this very contradictory?"

Naruto nodded: "It is indeed contradictory, but my mother always knows everything about me and always thinks of me. No matter what I do that I don't understand, it is for my sake."

"Is that so..." Gaara still didn't understand, and tried hard to recall his image of his mother, but suddenly he had a headache.

"Sigh~"

"What's the matter, did you remember something bad?" Naruto was very keenly aware of Gaara's abnormality.

He and Gaara didn't have such a good relationship all of a sudden.

The first is the fight between the two.

Not only did they fight against each other in the Chunin exam, but also an unimaginable battle in the woods.

In this battle, Naruto knew Gaara's past.

He already wanted to change Gaara's mind.

Trying to make friends with him at that time, ready to have a good chat with him.

At that time Gaara hesitated.

But Sasuke suddenly shot and hurt Gaara, which completely angered Gaara.

So Gaara turned into a monster, and then there was nothing to do with him.

Originally, it seemed that without Sasuke's intervention, he should have been able to convince Gaara very early.

But he knew that might not be accurate either.

Maybe Sasuke's actions saved his life on the contrary.

So he didn't think there was anything wrong with Sasuke doing that, on the contrary, he was quite grateful.

In the end, Gaara was caught by Kushina, and he didn't forget Gaara.

Sometimes I often follow Kushina to see Gaara, I come and go, and I understand Gaara thoroughly, and I am more determined to make friends with him.

In fact, he hasn't said anything about making friends yet, and Gaara also vaguely has such a tacit understanding.

So Naruto hugged him as soon as he came up, and he didn't feel too disgusted.

When someone touches him, he no longer feels the strong discomfort as before.

Naruto was so enthusiastic when he came, which actually warmed his heart.

Soon, under the leadership of Naruto, the two went upstairs.

After opening a room, Naruto introduced: "This is my room, you seem to be the first friend to visit my room."

"Friend...friend~" Gaara murmured again, looking a little dazed.

"Hey, it's really a bit negligent. Gaara, be my friend~" Naruto said and stretched out a hand, the meaning is very obvious that he hopes to shake hands with Gaara.

Gaara looked at the hand outstretched towards him in disbelief, and all kinds of past memories began to appear in his mind.

Disgusted, rejected, hated, isolated by the people in the village, betrayed by his uncle...

His head started hurting again.

"Naruto...I..."

Seeing that Gaara still didn't reach out to respond to him, Naruto felt a little frustrated, but he quickly restrained his frustration.

"I know, you're not ready yet. It's okay, I can wait for you to slowly adapt to this situation."

Seeing that Naruto was about to withdraw his hand, Gaara felt his headache relieved immediately, but a sense of loss arose in his heart.

pat~
"No, Naruto, although I still can't forget everything in the past. But you are the same as me, you have always longed for someone to be your true friend. Since you said that I am the first to visit your room If you are your friend, then I can't give up...give up the chance to be your friend!"

Gaara resisted the headache and grabbed Naruto's hand which he withdrew.

Naruto was stunned for a while, but then his eyes were moist: "Well, but don't force it too much, Gaara. In fact, friends or something, you know, I know, after confirming in your heart, it's fine. Such a friendship ceremony, It’s okay to not have one.”

"Your mother told me a lot. In fact, we are not monsters. It's just that monsters are sealed in our bodies, so we are hated by others as monsters. Since we are still humans, we must not forget the rituals of humans when we make friends. After all , we are each other's first official friends, right~"

"Hmm, um~" Naruto nodded, already crying uncontrollably.

Although there are many people who don't look at him with special eyes and often play with him, no one really makes friends with him.

He tried, but every time he tried to make friends with others, he was rejected.

Some people also deliberately use being friends as a temptation to trick him into doing some stupid things.

At that time, he knew that he shouldn't reach out to others, and he shouldn't even expect to have friends.

He'd given up on doing that for a long time, because every time it ended up being a frustrating rejection.

He didn't mention the matter of making friends with those people who had a good relationship with him.

Firstly, I am quite old, and secondly, I really don’t want to suffer the pain of being rejected anymore, so I haven’t done this for a long time.

Unexpectedly today, I was excited and reached out again.

The hand that hadn't responded for nearly ten years unexpectedly took another warm and strong hand.

Friends, real friends, he finally has!
Seeing that Naruto was moved to cry, Gaara was no longer in pain, showing a forced smile.

"Didn't you say you want to show me around, I want to see your room too~"

Naruto burst into tears with joy, and quickly replied: "Okay, okay..."
