I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball

As Nagasawa expected, Naruto and Sasuke were training at the place he had arranged at this time.

”Uncle Nagasawa/Teacher Nagasawa.”

When Naruto and Sasuke saw Nagasawa arrive, they temporarily stopped training and greeted Nagasawa.

Nagasawa also responded to them with a smile, then walked a little to the side, revealing Gaara, who was hiding behind him.

”He came from another village to our Konoha to study. In the future, he may train together with you. Get to know each other.” Nagasawa introduced Gaara to Naruto and Sasuke.

At the same time, Nagasawa also said to Gaara, ”Say hello. The blond one wearing the white shirt with red patterns is Naruto, the one I mentioned to you before. The black-haired one beside him wearing a blue shirt is named Uchiha Sasuke.”

”H-hello.” Suddenly exposed to Naruto and Sasuke’s view, feeling their curious gazes, Gaara was somewhat nervous.

”I come from Sunagakure Village. My name is Gaara.”

After finishing his introduction, Gaara closed his mouth, slightly lowered his head, and secretly sized up Naruto and Sasuke with the corner of his eyes.

Seeing Naruto’s smile that seemed to contain boundless confidence, Gaara could already imagine what kind of child he was.

’He must have many friends, just like Brother Nagasawa said.’ Gaara thought inwardly.

Naruto and Sasuke were also very curious about this child from another ninja village brought by Nagasawa, especially Naruto.

Looking at the pitch-black circles around Gaara’s eyes, Naruto was a little curious and asked, ”Hello, I’m Namikaze Naruto. Why is there such a black circle beside your eyes?”

Hearing Naruto’s words, Gaara subconsciously touched his dark circles, then lowered his head even more, as if he did not want people to see his dark circles.

Clearly, this characteristic that was different from other children had given him many obstacles on the road to making friends.

”Because I often have insomnia and cannot sleep, it became like this.” Gaara said with his head lowered.

”So that’s how it is. I thought you drew it on yourself to make yourself look more unique.” Naruto revealed a shocked expression.

”Idiot Naruto, who would do something like that?” Sasuke retorted.

Naruto scratched his head, ignored Sasuke’s retort, and continued saying to Gaara:

”I also sometimes can’t fall asleep, but I never got such exaggerated dark circles. How serious must your insomnia be? It must be very uncomfortable.”

As far as Naruto himself was concerned, the times he usually could not sleep were when Nagasawa finished telling a story and then stopped at a cliffhanger. Naruto would then wildly think and guess the story’s next plot at night, making him unable to sleep.

Naruto felt that it was truly uncomfortable at that time. It was not only the pain of being stopped at a cliffhanger, but also the feeling of wanting to sleep yet being unable to sleep, which was also very uncomfortable.

He clearly wanted to sleep in his heart, but his thoughts kept scattering. In the end, the more he thought, the more energetic he became, and the more he could not sleep.

When you forced yourself not to think about things, in the blink of an eye, you would start thinking about something else again. Perhaps only after half an hour would you discover that you had started wildly thinking again, then force yourself not to think wildly, beginning a new cycle, until your spirit became too exhausted and you unconsciously fell asleep.

Even occasionally being like this made him feel uncomfortable. Naruto could not imagine what kind of pain someone who was like this every day would feel.

”It’s fine. Once I got used to it, it wasn’t that uncomfortable.” Gaara raised his head and looked at Naruto.

He felt that this time was really different. Naruto was different from all the other children he had met before.

In Sunagakure Village, when others saw his pitch-black eye circles, they could only think of the monster rumors. But Naruto would care about whether he was uncomfortable.

At this moment, a feeling rose in Gaara’s heart. Naruto would become his friend. They would definitely become good friends.

”If it’s insomnia, you should go to the hospital. Forcing yourself to endure it isn’t a good thing.” Sasuke beside Naruto interjected.

”Thank you, but my situation is a little special. It’s not an illness, but...” Gaara thanked him and originally wanted to say the truth, but stopped again.

”But what? Why did you stop talking?” Naruto saw Gaara stop halfway and became a little anxious. He was curious about why Gaara was like this, but suddenly there was no continuation.

Gaara was brewing it. Telling people that there was a monster inside his body required courage.

”But, inside my body, there is a monster called Shukaku. Its power interferes with my sleep, so I often have insomnia.” Gaara mustered his courage and said helplessly.

”There’s a monster inside your body? No way?” Sasuke looked at Gaara with a doubtful gaze. Was this not a child the same age as them? With such a small body, how could it contain a monster?

”A monster? Why is there a monster inside your body?” Although Naruto did not look at Gaara suspiciously, he also raised a question.

Hearing Naruto’s question and Sasuke’s doubtful gaze, Gaara truly felt the difference.

In Sunagakure, even if he did not say anything, he would be treated as a monster. Here, he said himself that there was a monster in his body, yet he was being doubted.

However, he had one question. Did Nagasawa not say that Naruto also had a monster inside his body? But Naruto did not have dark circles. The only thing different from ordinary children was that there were several long and thin whiskers on his face. Moreover, Naruto seemed not to know that he had a monster inside his body.

What Gaara did not know was that not everyone treated Jinchuriki with the same attitude as his father Rasa.

Like Minato, when Naruto was so young, he naturally would not tell Naruto something like he was a Jinchuriki and had a Tailed Beast inside his body.

Minato was preparing to tell Naruto his situation after Naruto graduated from the Ninja Academy and became an official ninja.

At that time, Naruto would already have enough mental qualities to welcome these things.

”I don’t know how to explain it either, but there really is a monster inside my body.” Gaara thought for a moment and also did not know how to answer Naruto’s question.

At this time, Naruto said to Nagasawa beside him, ”Uncle Nagasawa, Gaara said there’s a monster inside his body. Help him beat the monster to death. You’re so powerful, there definitely won’t be a problem, right?”

Hearing Naruto’s words, Nagasawa smiled and said, ”The monster inside Gaara’s body is a Tailed Beast. Now, it and Gaara are already closely connected. Beating Shukaku to death is easy, but Gaara will also die along with it.”

To the current Nagasawa, Tailed Beasts were no longer a problem. Defeating a Tailed Beast was simply too easy.

But he could not guarantee whether the Jinchuriki would die along with it.

According to the original work’s experience, if one wanted a Jinchuriki to separate from a Tailed Beast without dying, only the Tailed Beast could actively cut off a portion of its Chakra and leave it inside the Jinchuriki’s body. Only then could the Jinchuriki not die suddenly.

Like the Eight-Tails leaving Killer Bee an octopus tentacle.

However, clearly, the relationship between most Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki was not that good. It was impossible for them to specially cut off a portion of their power and leave it in the Jinchuriki’s body for the sake of the Jinchuriki.

”Eh, how can it be like that?” Naruto was clearly somewhat disappointed.

”Hey hey, isn’t that not the main point? So there really is a monster inside his body!” Sasuke revealed a shocked expression.

He looked left and right but still could not see how Gaara’s small body contained a monster. Could it be that the monster’s body was not huge, but instead extremely miniature?

Sasuke fell into deep thought.

It was unknown whether it was because he heard someone wanted to beat it to death, or because it smelled the scent of the Nine-Tails it hated the most, but Shukaku inside Gaara’s body woke up.

”Why is there the smell of that stinky fox?” The awakened Shukaku was somewhat confused.

”Could it be that war has started again? This Jinchuriki is so small, but he has to go to the battlefield?”

Tailed Beasts inside Jinchuriki could actually sense the outside to a certain degree.

So when Shukaku was somewhat confused, it directly sensed what the situation outside was.

Shukaku discovered that this was not the battlefield it had guessed, but only two children and an unfamiliar ordinary ninja. Shukaku could not help becoming even more confused.

”That blond brat with whiskers should be the stinky fox’s Jinchuriki.” Shukaku expressed that it could smell the Nine-Tails’ stench even through a space.

After being confused, Shukaku was wildly happy.

Although it did not know why the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was here, nor did it know where this was, which did not look like Sunagakure Village at all.

But it knew one thing, and that was that the time for revenge had come.

That little bastard Nine-Tails was always showing off its nine big tails and promoting that the strength between Tailed Beasts was determined by the number of tails.

Could the One-Tail with its violent temper endure this? Of course not. It was one thing for you to brag about yourself, but you also stepped on one to praise another, almost directly saying that the One-Tail was the weakest among the Tailed Beasts.

But was the One-Tail really weak? In fact, it was not weak. So the One-Tail naturally came to hate the Nine-Tails.

The One-Tail’s violent Chakra erupted inside Gaara’s body, and a brutal aura full of killing slowly rose.

If it were the grown Gaara, perhaps he could still rely on his spirit to suppress the Tailed Beast, but at this moment, the three-year-old Gaara clearly did not have this ability. A shocking aura surged out from Gaara’s body, and the wind waves it raised blew the surrounding trees until they rustled.

Naruto and Sasuke were shocked by Shukaku’s powerful brutality and killing, freezing in place and unable to move.

After all, they were currently only three-year-old children who had only recently come into contact with training. It was truly somewhat forcing things to ask the current them to face a Tailed Beast lightly.

The Nine-Tails inside Naruto sensed the movement outside, curiously sensed it, and after sensing Nagasawa’s aura, quickly suppressed its own aura to the lowest.

”It’s that stupid tanuki. This idiot still hasn’t improved. It’s probably going to be miserable.” The Nine-Tails in Naruto’s consciousness space could not help grinning, revealing a schadenfreude expression.

Ever since it had been inexplicably dragged out and beaten up in an unprecedented way during the Nine-Tails Night, the Nine-Tails was now incomparably honest and did not dare to make any small movements at all.

Do you know how large the psychological shadow is when a Tailed Beast is grabbed in someone’s hand and smashed around? The Nine-Tails said it knew, and had even experienced it twice.

Once was Hashirama’s great Buddha grabbing it like a chick and saying its power was too strong.

The Nine-Tails really wanted to say, When you say that sentence, can you not pinch so tightly? It hurts.

The later time was being beaten up by Nagasawa’s fists.

That time also made the Nine-Tails deeply doubt life. How could Nagasawa, this small thing, have so much strength?

The current Nine-Tails had already laid flat. Whatever happened, happened. Even if someone wanted it to go out, it would not be willing. What if it got another beating?

So now, seeing the One-Tail reveal the true body of a Tailed Beast in front of Nagasawa, the Nine-Tails was extremely happy. What else could make one happier than someone else suffering the same loss as oneself? Of course there was, and that was when that person happened to be someone one hated.

After Gaara felt the drastic change in his body, his little face became pale. Looking at Naruto and Sasuke, who were frightened and frozen in place, Gaara tried his best to suppress the One-Tail, making it come out more slowly, while shouting:

”Naruto and Sasuke, run quickly! The monster inside my body is going berserk. It will hurt you then. I can’t control it.”

Watching his body gradually be replaced by the One-Tail’s ugly body, Gaara’s large eyes were full of tears, and tears were already uncontrollably flowing down.

Why, why did this kind of thing have to happen just when he was about to make friends?

After seeing him in this ugly and miserable state, Naruto and the others would definitely be very afraid of him. Let alone becoming friends, they would be afraid to even stay together with him.

The aura on Gaara’s body grew stronger and stronger. First, his hands and feet began to change, becoming the One-Tail’s gray-yellow limbs, then the other parts.

The powerful aura soared into the sky. A large number of birds sensed this brutal and powerful aura and were frightened into flying everywhere. Some animals on the ground were frightened into curling up in place and trembling. This was the pressure of a Tailed Beast.

Even ninja at a certain distance sensed this terrifying aura and hurriedly reported upward.

’Perhaps I really should stay alone. A person with a monster living inside his body does not deserve friends. My existence will only hurt them.’ Gaara thought sadly. This was his final thought before losing consciousness.

”You’re quite bold.” Nagasawa beside him raised his eyebrows. Had this One-Tail always been this brave? Did it not know he, Nagasawa, was here? Even the strongest Nine-Tails did not dare to be so arrogant.

Sensing the aura here, Nagasawa’s main body directly descended. First, he casually slapped the One-Tail back, then used a sealing technique to strengthen the seal.

Seeing the main body descend, the shadow clone nodded and released the shadow clone. Otherwise, two Nagasawas standing together would not be very good.

After all, his shadow clone had also inherited his handsomeness. With two such handsome people standing together, it would be very difficult for everyone to decide which one to look at. That would be very bad.

Along with the One-Tail being sealed at light speed, Gaara also regained consciousness.

Looking at the surroundings, all safe and sound, Gaara’s eyes widened, somewhat unable to believe it. Every time he had been like this before, the surroundings had basically been a complete mess.

This time, there was actually nothing wrong at all. Naruto and Sasuke were also standing in place perfectly fine, only their hair slightly messed up by the wind.

”I’m sorry, I...” Gaara lowered his head and apologized to Naruto, Sasuke, and Nagasawa.

At this moment, Gaara had already prepared himself to be scolded and beaten. In his heart, he had also decided not to look for any friends in the future. Someone like him did not deserve it.

”You guy, really...” Naruto came back to his senses, walked in front of Gaara, and raised his hand.

Gaara still lowered his head and did not move.
