Forced to sell misery

It was like an absurd dream, and now I’m awake.

You said you would watch me!

Gaara pushed all the cacti on the windowsill to the ground.

"You said...you would watch over me..."

"Liar, big liar!"

Amidst the loud noise, broken porcelain pieces splashed everywhere.

Looking at the cacti scattered among the broken porcelain pieces and soil, Gaara squatted down and picked up one of them.

This is the one that Jing Ye brought back at the beginning.

Compared to other cacti that are well cared for and growing vigorously, this cactus looks a little pitiful. It is a thin and small plant.

Even though he has been well taken care of during this period, he still looks listless.

However, it is "similar to Gaara, prickly and furry, but very strong."

Just like him...

With a plop, tears fell and splashed all over the floor.

Gaara carefully held the small cactus in his palm, squatted down, and sobbed softly.

He told himself not to cry, but tears still flowed from his eyes.

But he shouldn't cry, because the person who could hold all his tears was gone.

Leave him alone.

He was alone again.

-

The Sunagakure ANBU who were watching from the dark sighed.

The scumbag and unfaithful man who took advantage of the red panda's feelings for free has left.

The Kazekage-sama went with a group of Anbu colleagues, but they didn't catch them back...

But it is said that before the scumbag and unfaithful man left, he went to meet the red panda's father, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa.

According to information leaked by the Anbu, the scumbag and unfaithful man arrogantly threw a scroll to Lord Kazekage.

After Lord Fengying opened it and looked at it on the spot, he felt a little shaky.

Then the scumbag and the unfaithful man just patted his butt and left.

Lord Kazekage, who seemed to have aged instantly, remained silent for a long time as he looked at the scroll.

Later, Lord Kazekage seemed to have finally figured it out and summoned the Anbu colleagues who were responsible for taking care of Lord Gaara's life.

Master Kazekage tossed the scroll to his colleague and said calmly, "Just do as it says."

"?"

The colleague was also extremely confused, and when he opened the scroll, it seemed as if he had been hit by some powerful illusion. Anyway, he looked unwell.

So we became more and more curious about the contents of the scroll.

Besides...it has been shown to some of our colleagues, so it is probably not a secret.

So that night, we seized the opportunity and invited a colleague out under the pretext of a dinner party.

After three glasses of wine, the colleague was almost drunk. We took the opportunity to ask him some questions, but after a few words, he actually cried in front of everyone?!

The Sand Ninja ANBU elite actually cried? !

We were all shocked.

Is it possible that there is really an illusion on the scroll?

No, how could it be possible...

Under our questioning, the colleague took out the scroll and threw it in front of us, wiping away tears and saying,

"I won't say anything more. Just watch for yourselves."

We looked at each other solemnly, and finally, after a contest of glances, it was decided that I should open the scroll and find out what was inside.

I swallowed and opened the scroll as everyone was waiting in anticipation.

then……

I suspect that colleague gave the wrong thing...

Really, maybe my expression was too magical. My other colleagues couldn't wait to take the scroll from me - I wanted to stop them, but it was too late!

The scroll was circulated among everyone and finally returned to the hands of the colleague who was still in tears, leaving us all in deep confusion.

Finally, I was the first to recover. I silently filled another glass of wine for my colleague and said earnestly, "Thank you for your hard work, brother."

That colleague's eyes were filled with tears. He looked at me sadly, as if he had a thousand words to say...

Finally, he held it in for a long time and asked me, "Were you there when that gentleman blew up the kitchen?"

"..."

Seeing that I didn't say anything, he took it as my consent.

In the end, the two of us drank together in silence.

We are not afraid of the enemy, but we are afraid of the adult who cannot be judged by common sense.

Really, we don’t really want to understand the good intentions of that adult who wrote a “Red Panda Breeding Manual” and specially gave it to Lord Fengying.

But we can totally understand how Lord Kazekage feels when he sees this "manual".

Although thanks to that sir, Sunagakure no longer has to worry about Shukaku in Gaara-sir's body going berserk and causing harm to the village, but...

Looking at the words in the manual, "Failure to follow the manual may lead to something more terrible than Shukaku's rampage," my colleague and I couldn't help but feel sad.

Really, we were so stupid to think that we could become independent ninjas by joining the Anbu, but now I realize how wrong I was.

Because of the special nature of our work, we in the Anbu are all Sand Ninja men. Although we are of different ages, the common feature is that we are single, so we don't take care of children.

Especially Lord Gaara, who was called a red panda by that adult.

And that scroll... that "Red Panda Breeding Manual" is probably teaching us how to raise a red panda... I mean, take care of Lord Gaara.

-

All in all, from then on, the style of the Sand Ninja Anbu suddenly became unique.

"Today's bedtime story?"

"I have recited the history of Sand Village to Gaara-sama. I have recited the part where the Shogakure-sama Kazekage met with the Five Kage, the gods of the ninja world, and made a covenant."

"I think memorizing history is fine, but it's mainly because it's boring and long, and Gaara-sama will fall asleep quickly."

"Another benefit of memorizing history is that I can continue to memorize it for a long time without having to worry about what bedtime story to prepare."

"I have never felt history so close to me. I even hope that our Sunagakure history books are thicker."

"Of course, after reciting the history of our Sand Village, I can also recite the history of other countries and ninja villages to Gaara-sama."

"..."

As I listened to this colleague's rambling, I couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for him.

That's it, another one went crazy.

-

Lord Gaara is a bit of a picky eater.

Lord Gaara has grown taller again.

Gaara-sama hates drinking milk.

Lord Gaara pulled out the smallest cactus again, then held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then planted it back.

I love Luo sama...

……

In short, for a long time, the style of the Sand Ninja Anbu has been like this.

Many people even found gentle Sand Village girls as girlfriends!

And it is praised that a man who likes to take care of children must be an excellent husband worthy of entrusting one's life to.

The usually cold and mysterious Anbu can also be cute, which shows that knowledge has a huge impact on people.

"Red Panda Breeding Manual", you deserve it.

——A Sand Ninja ANBU tearfully recommended

annex:

Red Panda Breeding Manual

This manual is suitable for raising red pandas that are seriously lacking in love. If you follow the instructions above, you will get an obedient and well-behaved red panda...

The following omitted many words——

Note 1: Look at the red panda as you would look at your own children, siblings, or loved one.

Note 2: It is not allowed to lose your temper in front of the red panda.

……

Say good morning, good afternoon and good night to the little panda with a smile every day...

Remind the red panda to eat and sleep on time...

Children in their growing period need more nutrition... Prepare different nutritious food for the red panda every day and supervise the red panda to eat it without being picky...

Help the red panda to grow cacti, and don’t let them die…

Playing with red pandas...

Also remember to tell the little panda a bedtime story, and don't tell the same story twice.

……

One last thing to note: don’t mention anything about “Brother Jingye” in front of the red panda, even if you accidentally mention his name…

Please strictly follow the manual to raise the red panda correctly.

If failure to follow the manual causes something more terrible than Shukaku going berserk... you will do so at your own risk.
