Chapter 1228 Restoring Peace
Gaara had a miserable childhood. His mother died in childbirth, so his father regarded him as a jinx. In addition, the seal of the tailed beast was incomplete, so Gaara could not get enough sleep and his mood was always unstable. When he was a child, he finally had an uncle who treated him well, but he found out that his uncle was trying to assassinate Gaara under the instruction of the fourth generation to avenge his sister, but he failed and blew himself up.
It can be said that this series of encounters and being betrayed by the closest people made Gaara go to the extreme of only believing in himself. Of course, one of the reasons was that Gaara's father was a big scumbag.
He sealed the one-tail in order to turn his son into a powerful weapon to protect the village, but attributed his wife's death to his premature son. Then because of the immature technology, Gaara was very unstable, so he asked his son's closest uncle to assassinate him. It was simply a scumbag to his son. In the end, the fourth generation Kazekage died in the wilderness for no reason, which was retribution.
Gaara has every reason to hate the Sand Village, because there is really nothing worth staying in there. His enemies are not outsiders but relatives, which is the most hurtful.
Naruto is much better. He lost both his parents when he was young. It is normal for outsiders to treat him badly, and it is a favor to treat him well, so Naruto must be grateful.
Now Naruto's tears have infected Gaara, who was originally on the anti-human path, and opened Gaara's road to whitewashing. However, whitewashing will not be high in combat effectiveness, and these blackened characters will not understand these truths.
Gaara accepted the care of an irrelevant person, and suddenly the sky above his head was bright.
It was really bright, because Saori's panda had gone back. Walking out of the darkness and entering the light, this change at this time is in line with Gaara's heart. He suddenly found that the world was not bad to the extreme. After all, he still lacked love. Otherwise, he would not have carved the blood word "love" on his forehead and called himself "Gaara": Shura who only loves himself.
Gaara knows the pain of losing love, and knows the sweetness of being loved.
Now the long-lost feeling of being loved was awakened by Naruto's tears, and Gaara's psychological defense, which was not strong to begin with, was completely defeated by the tears of concern.
The invading Sand Ninja was controlled, and Liang came out to explain the situation. As the last farewell of the Fourth Kazekage, his words were still very important: "Don't be deceived by Orochimaru."
In fact, ninjas are not so easy to deceive. You must know that even Konoha Village is not dominated by the Hokage alone, but divided by multiple families and forces. The same is true for the Sand Village. If the fake Kazekage does not get the support of the ninjas under him, there will be no Konoha collapse plan. Attacking Konoha is because there are benefits, and the Sand Village is really poor.
Think about it, living in the middle of the desert, even water is a precious resource, not to mention fertile fields. If such a place is located on a commercial route, it can develop business, but the Wind Country is located in the western corner of the continent, far away from the center of the continent, and has nothing to do with important trade routes. It is really a hellish place where no one lives, and ninjas are also suffering. They can only find ways to get some benefits from the rich Fire Country.
Anyway, even if he was captured by Konoha Village, staying in the prison of Konoha Village would be better than going back to the middle of the desert.
In fact, Duran thought that the Kingdom of Wind could continue to expand westward, because the territory of the ninja world has only developed a small part of the continent. There are still unknown worlds in the west and across the sea.
However, there are towering mountains in the west, and there seems to be only barren land across the sea in the west. It is not that ninjas do not want to expand, but it is either too difficult or worthless.
Regarding the Sand Village's violation of the peace agreement and launching an attack, the third generation Hokage expressed generous understanding. He agreed that the Sand Ninja was deceived. In fact, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the Sand Village is so active and has been planned for a long time. It is not as simple as being deceived. But the third generation does not want to start a full-scale war with the Sand Village. If the war really starts, other villages will also be eyeing it. Even if Konoha wins in the end, it will only be a miserable victory that is not worth it.
There are many small countries in the five major countries on the continent, and the five major villages and many small villages. The relationship between them is a ripple effect. Sometimes the third generation has to play dumb.
Although the Sand Village is poor, it has good combat power, which is also something to consider.
The Sand Village ninjas saw that they were defeated, so they just pushed all the responsibility onto the snake. However, it was impossible for them to return the things they had already robbed, so they immediately transported them back to their country secretly. After all, they were fighting, and they couldn't have no gains.
In this regard, the third generation could only turn a blind eye.
Du Lanxin said that you should rob more, your princess and prince still owed him a lot of money, and I don't know if they have collected 200 million for this plan.
The spies of various villages were a little disappointed. They hoped that the conflict between Konoha and the Sand Village would intensify and turn into a full-scale war. At that time, they could fish in troubled waters.
The third generation was tired, he was really old, and dealing with such sudden major events exhausted him. There are not only peace factions in Konoha Village, but also a group of radical radicals who want to expand their territory and make themselves famous. They hope for a large-scale war and cast their medals with the blood of cannon fodder.
On the one hand, the third generation has to deal with the forces of various countries, and on the other hand, he has to suppress the rise of radical forces within the village. He really couldn't do it. He knew he should retire. He had aged several years in just a few days.
Jiraiya felt bad for his teacher because he was working so hard. "Teacher, have a cup of tea and take a break."
"As long as I am the Hokage, I can't rest for a day." The Sandaime smiled bitterly, and the wrinkles on his old face were squeezed together: "Jiraiya, do you think Tsunade can come back?"
The old man intended to let Tsunade take over. Now only Tsunade is qualified to take over the position of Hokage. Jiraiya was silent for a while: "If she is still a Konoha ninja, she should take this responsibility."
The Sandaime nodded: "Then go and find her back."
Jiraiya nodded, and at the same time wanted to take Naruto with him to teach him another ninjutsu when he took the opportunity to leave the village.
Gaara regained the feeling of being loved, so he accepted the care of his sister and brother and became a normal teenager. His prestige was greatly reduced, and he successfully retreated from a villain to a second-line role.
When Duran and Saori returned home, they were surprised. In the main house, Denise was leisurely drinking the tea and snacks sent by Nono. She was wearing a royal sister ninja suit that followed the local customs, and for Duran, it was a uniform temptation.
"Mom?!" Saori didn't expect Denise to appear suddenly.
Denise rolled her eyes at the father and daughter: "You two are having a lot of fun. After so many years, I thought you had forgotten that you had a family."
Duran thought that Denise cared about him and was touched: "Wife, isn't this nostalgia? We gave birth to Saori in a similar world back then."
"Nostalgia, why didn't you call me?" Denise expressed dissatisfaction, and then saw Nono: "Are you trying to hide a beautiful woman in a golden house?"
"No, no." Duran said that he was wronged. Was he such a vulgar person? He just appreciated women. He was an upright man, a good husband and a good father: "At most, just take a look."
Denise was amused. She still believed Duran. She really missed her husband's funny look after not seeing him for a long time: "You are smart."
Duran immediately knew that Denise came because she missed him. It happened that he also missed his wife. They really understood each other: "Wife, give me a hug."
