Shocked! I can't hide my tears!

[In the picture, after hearing Chiyo's words, Naruto nodded firmly, his eyes full of determination...]

【But at this moment, the whole picture suddenly changed..】

[Gradually, that was Naruto's figure, standing on the lawn. Behind little Naruto, there were many people, all of whom recognized his existence...]

[And little Naruto stood in the middle of them, with a happy smile on his face...]

“It’s us!”

The Twelve Little Strongmen looked at the sky in shock, especially at those figures, they actually found their own figures among them.

"Shikamaru, look, we are in there too. Hehe, I'm so embarrassed." Choji smiled shyly while chewing on the potato chips in his arms.

"It's really troublesome." Shikamaru smiled helplessly, but a look of satisfaction appeared in the corner of his eyes, and his eyes were floating on the sky.

"Haha, I didn't expect that I was in there too." Ino laughed.

"Since Naruto is like this, I will reluctantly recognize him." Ya looked at Tianmu, his old face blushed, but he still looked helpless.

"Naruto-kun..." Hinata looked at her own figure in the sky, her pretty face slightly blushed, and she was about to give up.

Shino rolled his eyes and did not respond, but if they could see inside the other person's collar, they would definitely find that the other person was smiling.

"Naruto, this little guy." Hong looked at the sky with the same surprise. She actually found her own figure in it.

"This is youth, Teacher Kai!!" Xiao Li was shaking with excitement. Even though his body was covered with scars, it still couldn't hide his restless heart.

"Ah, this is youth!" That was Might Guy, who was looking for medical ninjas in Konoha, shouting excitedly.

“Return to Heaven!!”

It was in a forest. He looked at the sky and a trace of doubt flashed through his mind at first, but when he saw his own figure, he couldn't help but smile.

"Naruto..." Looking at the sky, Hiruzen found that his position in the other party's mind was particularly high, and he was immediately relieved and ashamed.

"You idiot." Jiraiya rubbed the latter's head, his eyes slightly sore. He could see that those figures were the people who recognized him.

How long will it take him?

"Is that my figure?" Tsunade was also shocked when she saw this scene, with a look of absurdity in her eyes. She had never had any contact with the other party before.

But when I think about the future, I feel relieved.

"Haha, it seems that we have a very high status in Naruto's heart." Kakashi smiled and looked at the sky and joked.

In Konoha, Sakura looked at her own figure in the sky, pursed her lips, and felt a little sad in the corners of her eyes, feeling touched and regretful...

In your eyes... am I like this?

When she thought about how the other party glorified her, she felt both moved and ashamed.

"Hmph..." Sasuke snorted coldly, his eyes fixed on the sky, and there seemed to be an empty space on Naruto's body.

There was no one in that position, but it was inexplicably empty, which made him confused... and then he thought of... the figure in that position... who could it be?

In that empty spot, that important person, that person who doesn't exist in the picture...who could it be?

Why is it empty, but it holds such a high position in the latter's heart...

Who is it?

He thought about it and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

It was an office, it was a little Chunin, a teacher, but in Naruto's heart, it was hard to shake...

Even Hiruzen, the Sandaime, and Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, could not shake the position in the latter's heart.

Iruka looked at the sky with tears in his eyes.

[In the picture, Naruto's pretty face is full of smiles..]

[But the next moment, the smile on his pretty face disappeared, replaced by a look of bewilderment, and he turned his head away...]

[Behind the lawn, as if separated from the crowd, there is a weak figure squatting alone on the lawn..]

[Compared to Naruto, he seemed particularly lonely, with no one around him..]

[“I Gaara!!”]

[The next moment, Naruto moved, pushed through the crowd, and rushed towards the lone person, shouting at him...]

[“Who is it…”]

【“Someone is calling me...”】

【“Who is it..?”】

[In a trance, Gaara, who was squatting on the lawn, opened his eyes in confusion..]

【“These hands...”】

[“What? My hand again…”]

[“My hand...Who am I?”]

【"I..."】

[Weak Gaara squatted on the lawn and cried. This feeling was so lonely, so uncomfortable... so suffocating...]

[Snap!]

[But at this moment, a hand gently pressed on Gaara's shoulder. Gaara was surprised and turned around to look...]

[It was an equally weak figure, but it was this figure that broke into his heart..]

[The next second, the weak figure turned into a young boy... Naruto showed a gentle expression...]

[“I Gaara…”]

[Naruto's voice was extremely gentle, as if it contained a myriad of warmth, and that look... this was something he had never felt before...]

[So warm, if it could go on forever..]

[His pupils were wide open, full of trance...]

[“Naruto…”]

[The next second, Gaara turned around... There were figures all over the hill, surrounding the lawn, all looking worriedly... Gaara... ]

[“Great! Gaara-sama is finally awake!”]

[“That’s great. He’s not hurt, is he?”]

Gaara stared at the sky in a daze, his expression was almost identical to his own in the sky.

It's like there is a warm seed buried in my heart, waiting to sprout.

"This is..." Gaara murmured, he was obviously lonely, he was obviously in solitude...

But why... so warm...

【The scene suddenly changed. 】

[I am hatred, I am power, I am the weapon of the Sand Village, I am the Jinchūriki as a sacrifice...]

[I hate this world and everyone in it. I once tried to destroy it all!]

[That was Gaara's voice filled with hatred, echoing in the pitch-black sky.]

[“I used to hate this world, I used to hate everyone, I used to live like a Shura…”]

【“But he saved me...”】

That was Naruto's figure, appearing on the sky, with that silly smile, like a little sun.

[“He saved me from the abyss of loneliness. He knew what loneliness and pain were just like me…”]

[That was a picture popping up in the sky..]

[“The pain of being alone is not just ordinary pain…”]

[That was the previous scene. Gaara stared at the squirming Naruto in confusion and panic...]

[“Why…why can you do this for others?”]

[“Because they are my most important...companions...”]

...

[The scene changes again..]

[Those are Gaara's words, once again echoing in the pitch-black sky.]

[“We have the same past and understand each other’s pain, but why can you do that for others…”]

[“Why…why…”]

[That also sounded like Gaara was questioning, equally puzzled... He was puzzled... why... why exactly...]

Looking at this scene, Naruto was stunned. Why...he remembered that night...

That was the first... the first time... the first...

Acknowledged his existence..

That night he felt warmth and happiness he had never felt before.

Because... when I was about to give up... when I was confused... when I was in pain...

That figure, his every word and action... every word... every action he took... changed me...

So from now on, whenever I feel lost or in trouble, I just need to think of those words and that figure, and I will feel full of strength!!

[“If you Sand Ninjas hadn’t put that monster into Gaara’s body, this wouldn’t have happened…”]

[“What does Gaara think? Have you asked him how he feels?”]

[That was Naruto rejecting injustice, and he seemed to be asking... why... must our Jinchūriki's life... be like this...]

[Have you ever thought about...our own thoughts...]

All the Chuuriki in the Ninja Realm raised their heads, and suddenly felt strange emotions...

What on earth was that..for some reason..they wanted to meet this Naruto kid.

【"What Jinchūriki..."】

[“Don’t be so sanctimonious and come up with such words!”]

[Gaara thought of Naruto's words, and the coldness in the corners of his eyes gradually faded away... It was as if it had never been there before...]

The ninja world looked at this scene quietly, no longer sending out barrages, but watching quietly...

They saw... saw a cold Shura... gradually crawling out of hell...

"My Gaara is so pitiful..."

They were women from all over the world, looking at what happened to Gaara, they were full of sympathy and love...

"Because he never had it before, when Naruto appeared, did Gaara's loneliness finally have an outlet?"

"Maybe not. Maybe we found someone who shared the same feelings and resonated with each other?"

"That's wrong. Naruto is Gaara's salvation. That's enough for us to know..."

"Because Uzumaki Naruto saved Gaara..."

[“Wounds of the soul?”]

[In the picture, little Gaara was very confused, not knowing what this meant, and not understanding the mystery...]

【“There is only one thing that can heal the wounds of the soul...”】

【“That’s love...”】

[Little Gaara didn't know what this meant, but it was like a seed that had already been planted in his heart...]

...

"What...is love..."

Gaara murmured, looking at the sky, very confused... what exactly is love... will he have it...

He looked at Uzumaki Naruto...that guy...he is powerful because he has love.

For some reason...a hint of envy appeared in the corner of his eyes.

【"love?"】

[In the darkness, Gaara's figure seemed to appear. He was small and weak... squatting in the darkness... crying...]

[“Who am I…who am I?”]

[Snap!]

[At this moment, there was a hand, light but powerful, a young boy’s hand, full of strength but strangely warm, gently patting his shoulder...]

[“I Gaara…”]

[It was a warm, powerful, gentle voice that filled the other person's ears. It was as if the darkness before his eyes was swept away the moment this person and these words appeared...]

[“I love Luo...”]

[The boy greeted again, his voice still so gentle and powerful...]

【“Naruto…”】

[Gaara murmured, and in an instant... it was like a beam of light shining into his loneliness, breaking into his heart...]

[All the darkness, all the pain and loneliness, seemed to be released at this moment.]

[“Let’s go..They are still waiting for you!”]

[Naruto took Gaara's hand and smiled.]

[After hearing this, Gaara in the picture was stunned for a moment... and finally revealed a warm smile...]

【"good..."】

.....

last of the last

[That's Naruto and his companions, carrying their bags, waving goodbye to Gaara and the others...]

【"goodbye!"】

【"Um."】

[Then, Naruto seemed a little shy.. His fingers gently circled his cheeks and said: "Generally speaking... between friends, at this time, we should shake hands and say goodbye..."]

【"But I'm not good at that kind of thing..so..!??"】

[As soon as the words fell, Gaara's sand gently lifted Naruto's palm up. ]

[Naruto smiled slightly after noticing this little move, and let this power dissipate through his palm...]

[Finally, under the witness of both countries, they slowly shook hands...]

【Finish】
