Forced to sell misery

"You didn't do anything wrong, Gaara." Jing Ye sighed.

"But..." Gaara's body trembled uncontrollably, and he tightly grasped the corner of Jing Ye's clothes.

"Listen to me, Gaara. Everyone will hurt others or be hurt in life, but people don't hate someone so easily.

Yashamaru is wrong. People don’t fall in love with someone easily. Instead, they hate someone easily. Even when that person doesn’t know it, they are still hated and disliked.”

Jing Ye carefully considered his tone and stroked the red panda's fur bit by bit.

"You don't need to seek forgiveness from such people, because their disgust and hatred are selfish in themselves. Before you can no longer feel the kindness and love of others, learn to love yourself - maybe this is what they want to tell you, I hope Gaara can become strong."

"But...but..."

Gaara helplessly grasped the hand that Jing Ye handed over, choking with sobs and unable to utter a complete sentence.

"Hey, Gaara," Feeling that Gaara had calmed down a little, Jing Ye pressed Gaara's shoulders, squatted in front of Gaara, and looked into his eyes.

"Have you ever wondered why Yashamaru was so easily killed by you when he clearly wanted to kill you?"

"Because he is too weak."

"Okay..." Jing Ye sighed in frustration, "Then why did he come to kill you when he knew he couldn't?"

"For the mission, the mission his father gave him." Trembling all over, Gaara lowered his head, as if he fell into the terrible emotion at that time again.

He didn't want to see Gaara in pain, but Jing Ye knew that he had to do it.

If a wound is hastily covered up without being healed, it will only fester and rot.

If you ignore it, the wound will get infected, inflamed and fester... This is what happens to wounds you don't want to face, so now he has to force Gaara to face it.

Break the skin and flesh that are attached to the wound, cut open the rotten flesh, and let the pus mixed with blood flow out.

Then apply medicine, bandage it, and wait for it to heal well.

Although it may leave scars that will never disappear, they can only serve as a testimony to the hurt that has been suffered, nothing more.

"But Yashamaru also said that he can refuse." Jing Ye's voice was almost cold.

"He hates me!" Gaara's emotions got out of control again. He yelled at Jing Ye unconsciously, "He hates me for killing my mother. I... killed my own mother. I, I am a monster who was born with a curse!"

“No, it wasn’t Gaara who killed your mother, Galuru!

To protect the village, for... everyone.

Your mother must have had a strong heart to choose to give birth to you.

Gaara is not a monster at all.

Yashamaru lied to you.

Because he was determined to be killed by you, so that Gaara could suppress the Shukaku in his body. This is the truth, Gaara saw it too."

Jingye held Gaara in his arms and said softly,

"Gaara is not the reincarnation of Shukaku's vengeful spirit, but a child born with great expectations. In order for Gaara to master powerful power..."

"If that's the case," Gaara suddenly interrupted Jing Ye, looked him straight in the eyes, and spoke word by word, "Then I would rather not have such power."

Jing Ye was stunned.

Yes, no one has ever cared about this child's feelings...

They all imposed their own likes and dislikes on this child who knew nothing.

This is what happened to Galuro, who died when Gaara was born, with a heart full of devotion for the village.

This is what happened to Rasa who forced Gaara to become a Jinchūriki in order to test him and erase his feelings for him.

This is what Yashamaru did when he accepted the order to assassinate Gaara and teach Gaara what love is but also cruelly deceived Gaara.

The same is true for those people in the Sand Village who want to control Shukaku's power for their own use and sacrifice Gaara to become the Jinchūriki, but treat Gaara with cold violence.

It’s the same every time!

I'm done--

The murderous aura that instantly overflowed made the air tremble slightly!

The escaping air current pushed Gaara away, and without any defense, Gaara fell to the ground, looking at Jing Ye helplessly——

——That feeling... Is this brother the same as him?

"Uchiha, Jingye..." Calling out the name tentatively, Gaara climbed up and rushed forward with difficulty.

The sand that protected Gaara all over his body was cut apart by the invisible airflow. Even with the protection of the sand, Gaara was still scratched by the pervasive airflow. Completely ignoring the injury, Gaara rushed forward and grabbed Jing Ye's hand.

"what happened to you?"

In the blur, a helpless voice woke him up - the six magatama in his pupils blurred for a moment, and Jing Ye staggered to his knees, covering his eyes.

"hateful……"

Almost lost control again...

The blood flowed along the fingers, dripping onto the ground, splashing mottled colors.

"You are hurt……"

Gaara subconsciously reached out to pull Jingye's hand, but was hugged by Jingye——

"I'm sorry," tears mixed with blood soaked Gaara's clothes. He buried his face in Gaara's shoulder, and Jing Ye trembled slightly.

He really almost lost control again!

Falling into endless darkness again...

Almost, really just a little bit...

If he really fell into depravity, he didn't know what terrible things he would do!

Clearly, that kind of power... should be within his control.

hateful……

"Thank you, Gaara." Jing Ye hugged Gaara tightly, as if to prove something.

Proof that he was still conscious and hadn't done anything terrible...

"Are you the same as me?" Gaara asked hesitantly.

"Ah...Although the reasons are different, but...we should be the same..."

Jing Ye forced a smile, but his expression was uglier than crying. He said,

“Having great power is not necessarily a good thing, because no one ever asks us whether we can bear such power…

But there is nothing we can do about it... Gaara, you and I... For us, this is our inescapable fate."

Jing Ye lowered his head, "I'm sorry, Gaara, there's nothing I can do about it, but I will try to change him."

...Sure enough, he has never been anyone's salvation.

If you are trapped in deeper darkness, you cannot and will not save others.

But fortunately, Gaara stopped him...

Leaning on Gaara, Jing Ye closed his eyes tiredly and murmured,

"As for how to do it, I'm not sure, but I believe we will find the answer. If Gaara finds the answer, please tell me."

"Well, I will."

Two figures, one big and one small, snuggled up to each other.

It's like time and space are intertwined.

The figures of Yashamaru and Gaara overlap with those of Kagamiya and Gaara.

Outside the window, the diffuse sandstorm blurred all the roads, just like the unclear destiny and future.

"If you do anything to hurt others, I will stop you. Correspondingly, if I am swallowed by darkness in the future and do something terrible, I hope you can stop me."

After picking up the unconscious Gaara, Jing Ye looked at Gaara's tearful face and said softly,

"Go to sleep, Gaara. Sweet dreams."

-

With a creaky sound, the door of the room was pushed open.

Jing Ye turned his head and saw Luo Sha walking into the room.

Luo Sha looked at Jing Ye with blood on his face in surprise, and looked into Jing Ye's six-magatama Sharingan, but couldn't ask a single question.

After receiving the unusual movement report from the Anbu, Luo Sha immediately dropped the matter at hand and rushed over.

But...it looks like it's over.

Seeing Gaara sleeping peacefully on the bed, Luo Sha could no longer suppress the shock in his heart -

"you……"

Seeing Luo Sha's surprised expression, Jing Ye casually touched his eyes and found his hands covered in blood.

"As you can see, Shukaku's problem has been solved," Jing Ye blinked, trying to make his vision, which was blurred into a scarlet color by blood, clearer.

"What about you, sir?" Luo Sha hinted at something.

"Just in case, we need to observe for a while." Jing Ye made up an excuse.

It's not that he doesn't understand the meaning behind Luo Sha's words...

Really, how can you just use someone and then kick them out?

Jing Ye rolled his eyes at Luo Sha, and with his bloody expression on his face and the six-magatama Sharingan, he could be said to be quite intimidating.
