[Naruto] [Gaara] Sand and Thorn Bird

"Naruto." Coming out of the death forest, just after entering the village, Akiki stopped Naruto.

The little fox happily rushed to Akigi: "I won! I won! It's a pity you didn't see it!"

She glanced up and down at the dirty little fox, the embarrassed appearance did not affect the smile that was brighter than the sun on his face at the moment: "Then congratulations!"

Kashigi: "To celebrate your passing the preliminaries, let me treat you to a ramen ramen."

This is also the purpose of her finding Naruto.Naruto, even though everyone ignores him, even though few people agree with him from the bottom of his heart, he never underestimated himself or gave up on himself. Until today, he finally attracted everyone's positive attention to him.

That was difficult, so Naruto was great.

Naruto was so happy that he almost jumped up, but to Akigi's surprise, he didn't agree: "No, I have to find Teacher Kakashi to practice with me now!"

"Oh?"

"The next opponents are all very strong, I don't want to lose to them!" His face became more serious, "He seems to have gone to the hospital to find Sasuke."

"Then I'll go with you." She also had to go to the hospital to visit the injured Tian Tian.

"Okay! But don't forget about the ramen, I will eat it after I finish training!"

"Okay, I know."

Konoha Hospital.

Snow-white walls, snow-white curtains, snow-white sheets... everything that was too white made the face of the girl on the hospital bed even paler.The two hair buns that seemed to be full of vitality were also scattered on the pillow weakly at this time.

Inserting the visiting bouquet into the vase, Akiki turned around and sat down beside the hospital bed, frowning, looking at Tian Tian's face and neck, which were only exposed by the quilt, were covered with wounds of all sizes.

Although compared to Hinata Hinata, who is still not out of danger, and Rock Li, who is almost disabled, Tiantian's injuries are not serious.But I dare not imagine that if Rock Lee hadn't stepped forward in the end and was thrown directly on the ground full of weapons by Temari...

Thousands of books, shurikens, kunai, and sickles scattered all over the ground, under such merciless force, are likely to directly cut and pierce her body—either death or injury.

She couldn't help but recall the brief farce just now.

【Good job! 】The blond girl said contemptuously.

【How can you treat an opponent who is serious about fighting you like this? ! ] Rock Lee was indignant.

[Stop talking nonsense!Better hurry up and take that trash away! 】

【don't want!Xiao Li! 】Knowing the temper of his teammates, Neji hurriedly dissuaded him.But the impulsive Rock Lee had already made a move, jumped up from the ground full of weapons, and kicked Temari who was smiling arrogantly and disdainfully.

【It's so slow...】The fan unfolded blocked Li Luoke's offensive, 【Just like your appearance. 】

Just when the next attack was about to start, Gaara said lightly in the opposite stand: 【Come back, Temari.You've already won, so forget about that idiot who wants to protect his companions! 】

【What did you say? ] Rock Lee gritted his teeth at Gaara.And Gaara just stood tall on the high platform, expressionless, and glanced at him coldly and contemptuously.

Although getting injured is a common occurrence in the ninja world, when he thought that he almost lost his friend, Akigi still broke out in a cold sweat belatedly.

I must kill you.

Kill you, and I can continue to exist.

Gaara's cold words from before sounded in his mind again.

She squeezed Kunai tightly.

night.

The disc-like full moon hangs low in the sky, giving people a breathless sense of oppression.

I have been comforting and accompanying Tian Tian, ​​​​but I did not expect that this moment has come.

After looking at the night, he hurried home.

The top of the tall palace building is decorated with a huge carp sculpture, and a row of wind chimes are hung on the towering and whirling tail of the fish, tinkling indiscriminately in the wind.

White streamers dance with the wind.The thin rustling sound gave people an illusion of loneliness.

The leaves and trees are lush, and even in the night wind, there are tiny leaves and petals dancing.

With his chin propped up, Gaara looked at Konoha Village in the dead of night.

He didn't have the patience to listen to that Otonin's chattering words, and he wouldn't listen.Shouhe's yelling was full of fury, his head seemed to be split open, and the blood in his body was so hot that it seemed to be on fire: "When the moon is full, his blood will boil..."

The strange figure under the moon disappeared.The smoke dissipated, and only Gaara, who had returned to normal, barely stood on her knees, panting uncontrollably.His forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat, and beads of sweat kept sliding down his cheeks. From the sudden pale face, it could be seen that he was very uncomfortable now.

Suppressing a tailed beast puts a heavier burden on the body than fighting.

"It's amazing...I can't imagine his true colors are like this." Not far away, Yao Shidou and Ma Ji are plotting and discussing their actions in the near future.Although he said so, Yao Shidou still had a calm expression.After explaining everything, he glanced up to the tall building, and found that the frightened figure had disappeared at some point.

"Don't worry, we can't control his actions." After leaving these words, Ma Ji chased the moonlight and rushed away.

Kashiki walked quickly on the empty street, and the surroundings were dark and silent.

She suddenly noticed something and stopped abruptly.

The black figure passed over her head and landed firmly in front of her.Long white streamers fluttered in the wind.

He stood up slowly, with a ferocious and distorted face, coupled with Shouhe's riot, the murderous aura in his body exploded beyond measure: "You want to kill me?" Just now, when he was sitting on the roof, he felt the obvious murderous.

Akiki took a step back subconsciously, reached for the ninja bag at his waist with his right hand, pursed his lips, and did not speak.

Gaara suddenly laughed maniacally: "Very well, come on, let me feel it!"

The sand that has been restless hits madly, and Akiki hastily turned back to avoid it.

The sand gathered more and more, attacking frantically.The sand that didn't hit her hit the ground and the walls of houses on both sides of the street uncontrollably, leaving large and small pits.

"Gara," glanced at the messy surroundings, then looked at the other party's pale cheeks that were still covered with fine beads of sweat because of suppressing Shukaku, Akiki hesitated, and said, "Now Shukaku is very tired. Unstable... You should rest first."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Gasping for a few moments, Gaara yelled angrily, bloodshot eyes immediately covered his original white eyes, as if some uncontrollable pain was about to explode in his thin body, "I want to kill you!" All my people must die!"

But I can't let you destroy Konoha.

Do you really have to fight him?Akiki glanced at Gaara, who was tired and confused, and another shot of sand rushed towards him.

The sand kept swirling between Gaara and Kashigi, hitting Kashigi repeatedly.

Why is she just hiding?Didn't she want to kill herself?

And why, even though the sand had entangled her several times, his hand became stiff at the last moment, unable to pinch it at all!

Why!how so!How could he not kill her!

If you don't kill her, your own existence will disappear.

But every time he wanted to strike, his chest would suddenly hurt so badly that he felt as if he was about to suffocate.Just like the moment he lifted Yashamaru's mask, like the moment he saw the eyes of his father and brothers and sisters, like the moment he saw the letter from Kashigi.

Gaara was getting more and more irritable.

Something mixed in the sand suddenly caught his attention, and he manipulated the sand to bring it to his eyes.

The pale green pupils shrank suddenly.

It was a group photo of Akiki and their three siblings before. The three of them stood side by side, each with different smiles: Temari and Kankuro grinned, revealing a line of small white teeth. Shallow pear dimples, and he, because he was not used to it, lowered his head slightly and smiled shyly.

When Akigi moved to Konoha, he also took this photo with him. After that, he didn't put it in the photo frame, but put it in a ninja bag after plastic and carried it with him all the time.

That was the only time he loved and felt loved.Unexpectedly, all of this was just a sham, a well-planned scam.Yashamaru is dead, and Akigi is gone, replaced by six years of endless, always terrifying assassinations.

For a moment, his head felt like it was about to explode.

"Damn it..." Pressing his temple with one hand, he squeezed the photo tightly with the other hand, and the originally flat picture instantly became wrinkled and distorted.

Akigi, who was busy dodging, naturally had no time to care about what happened to Gaara, only to see that the aggressive and menacing sand was suddenly taken back, and Gaara's figure disappeared.

Have you let yourself go?

I don't know why, but it seems to be the best so far.

When he got home to tidy up, Aki found what was missing in the ninja bag.After a brief moment of hesitation, she sighed lightly, and did not search for it.

There may be things that are destined to be lost...

The second exam is over, and there is a one-month deadline before the third exam.

This month, Akigi really has no leisure at all.

My teacher suddenly summoned the three of them and briefly mentioned the fact that Teacher Haifeng was killed. Before he could react from the shock, the teacher threw them Xiao Shangao's mission scroll.

Because Teacher Haifeng was killed, Teacher Shiranui was temporarily assigned as the chief examiner of the third exam.Part of the mission is to assist the teacher in arranging the third exam, but part of it...

It feels very strange.

Unlike previous tasks, these tasks have no client, no reward, and no clear purpose.The teacher only said to tell him when he was done.But these missions seem to have an air of heightened vigilance and alertness.

The wind is rumbling, and the grass and trees are all soldiers.

"Mr. Shiranui, tell me the truth, is something going to happen?"

Seeing his teacher playing with Qianben skillfully, with an irrelevant smile still on the corner of his mouth, Akiki frowned indistinctly.

[In the end, even if I had to use all of Konoha's power, I would not hesitate to fight them to the death! 】The scene of the high-level meeting flashed through Shiranui Genma's mind.Although the third Hokage is old, his eyes are clear and firm.

He stopped what he was doing, and his expression became more serious: "Akigi, you don't have to worry, this is not something that Chunin should consider."

"There's nothing to do next, you go back early to rest. There's still work on site tomorrow."

Tomorrow is the third exam...

Although he was not so confused that he forgot the time, he still felt like he was in a trance, like waking up from a dream, when he was suddenly woken up at such a small point.

Shouldn't it be time to find Naruto and cheer him up?

He closed the scroll in his hand and piled it neatly with the scroll on the table: "Then I will take my leave first, Teacher Shiranui."
