Chapter 788 Believed

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Gaara was stunned for a moment, as if seeing Kankuro and Temari taking care of him again when he was a child.

And this time, perhaps because he is no longer bloodthirsty, the two of them seem to have gradually improved their attitude towards him.

"Aaaaaahhhh! How dare you attack Gaara like that! Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" (Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)

Naruto also rushed over at this time, and without wasting time, he created a large number of clones.

"Uzumaki Naruto Nisen Rendan!" (Naruto Uzumaki Two Thousand Combo)

In an instant, the yellow figures were fighting against the Sunagakure’s Anbu.

The real Naruto landed beside the wet Gaara and asked, "Gaara, are you okay?"

"I’m fine."

Hearing this, Naruto smiled and said: "That’s great! I was worried to death just now."

Sasuke looked at the two of them, and for some reason, he felt something strange.

Naruto's shadow clone is just clones, and Sunagakure’s Anbu are not weakling like Mizuki.

Soon, all of his clones were destroyed by the dozens of Sunagakure’s Anbu.

“Hatake Kakashi, this is Sunagakure’s matter. Do you want Konoha to interfere with this?” The Anbu Captain said.

"Sorry, although Gaara is your Sunagakure’s people, but this time, he is also my subordinate. And I will never let my subordinate die in front of me." Kakashi said coldly.

"Hmph, what a shameless statement. Did the rumored cold-blooded Kakashi also change his temper?" The Anbu Captain taunted.

Hearing this, Kakashi just stared at the man coldly.

The powerful aura coming from Kakashi instantly made the man sweat.

‘This person... is indeed terrifyingly strong.’ This is the thought in the Anbu Captain’s mind at this time.

He also had some regrets, as for why did he provoke Kakashi.

At this time, Gaara’s teammates, who had escaped, also rushed over.

"Gaara! We won't let you face the enemy alone!"

"Yes! Gaara-sama protected us when we escape. He must be a gentle person!"

Gaara was stunned. Seeing the three people who came back to help him after escaping, he suddenly felt warmth in his heart.

Kakashi smiled and said: "Look, there seems to be more people who care about you now. Just be kind and you definitely will receive it back."

Gaara lowered his head, and then showed a shallow smile. As if he wanted to understand something.

"Thank you, Kakashi. I understand."

Gaara said, standing up slowly.

"Gaara, are you okay?" Naruto asked worriedly.

Gaara shook his head, indicating that he is fine.

Looking at the Anbu Captain, Gaara said softly: "I know I did a lot of wrong things before. It is difficult for you to believe me for a while. But in the future, I will slowly prove my worth. I will let myself be recognized by everyone. So, this time, unfortunately, I have to disappoint you."

"Hmph, who would believe you!" The Anbu Captain said disdainfully.

"You don't need to believe it now, but one day, I will prove it."

"Don't think that with Konoha's people helping you, you won't have to die! With so many Water Release’s users, we are going to kill you here! You have no power to fight back. Your sand has been completely sealed by us!"

"Really? If it is sand, I still have a little more."

Gaara said, stretching out his clenched right hand.

The palm slowly opens, revealing a sand ball with the size of a fingernail.

The Sunagakure’s Anbu is trying to ridicule it, but then the sand ball shot out, and in an instant, all of the Sunagakure’s Anbu were knocked down.

“Amazing!” Naruto exclaimed in surprise.

The battle soon ended.

Gaara didn't kill those Anbu, but instead let them go.

This mission is also over.

During the sunset, Kakashi and Gaara were standing on a cliff somewhere.

"Thank you for your help this time, Hatake Kakashi." Gaara said respectfully.

Kakashi scratched his silver-white hair and said with a smile: "It’s fine, it's just a little effort. But seeing you finally open up, it's a fortunate thing."

Gaara glanced at Naruto who is not far away and said, "Kakashi, I know that Naruto is just like me, a Jinchūriki. What do you think of him?"

Perhaps because he didn't expect Gaara to suddenly ask this, Kakashi was silent for a moment and then said: "Naruto? I watched him grow up since I was a child, he is more like my younger brother. Although Naruto has a monster in his body, but the monster doesn't represent him. I believe from the bottom of my heart that one day he will defeat that monster and become the real Uzumaki Naruto."

"You believe him?" Gaara murmured.

At this moment, Gaara was somewhat envious of Naruto.

The fate of the two of them is quite similar, but now they have completely different personalities.

Perhaps it is because Naruto is always surrounded by people like Kakashi who believe in him.

And by his side, even his father wanted to kill him.

How ironic.

In silence, Kakashi stretched out his right hand and gently rubbed Gaara’s red hair.

Gaara was stunned for a moment. This is the first time he feels this strange touch.

Looking up, their eyes met.

Kakashi’s eye turned crescent and a gentle expression is on his face.

"Gaara, there will be people around you who believe in you. If no one wants to believe in you, I'd be willing to be the first person to believe in you."

Gaara was shocked, and a warm current seemed to flow into his heart.

Gaara looked a little overwhelmed.

‘Is this the feeling of being believed? It feels very good.’

“Gaara, Naruto's dream is to get everyone's approval and then become the Hokage. Maybe you can also try to become the Kazekage,” Kakashi suggested.

“Kazekage?” Gaara muttered, seeming interested in the proposal.

"As long as you get everyone’s approval, you can become the Kazekage. It is difficult for you, but I believe as long as you are willing to do it, you will definitely succeed. I know that from the bottom of your heart, you have always been a gentle person. And gentle people always get the trust of their people." Kakashi said with a smile.

Gaara was silent and he seems to be thinking about it.

"How is it? Are you willing to try?"

Looking into Kakashi's eye, Gaara suddenly said firmly: "I am willing."

"That’s good. To become a Kage, in addition to strength, it is more dependent on this."

Kakashi said, pointing at Gaara’s heart.

"If you treat people with your heart, you can get the same sincerity. But you have to remember one thing."

"What is it?"

"We treat people with our heart. If we can get the same sincerity, we will be naturally happy, but if we don't get the same return, there is nothing to regret."

Gaara was a little confused when he heard this, and didn't seem to understand the meaning very well.

Seeing this, Kakashi smiled and said: "One day, you will understand."
