Character Information |::Gaara
Type: Canon
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Status: Single
Interest: None
Appearance:
Hair Color & Style:
Gaara's hair, short and rather messy, is a shade of red that could be said that it was 'stained in blood', according to those who had witness his troubled past.
Eye Color & Style:
Turqoise eyes that have seen too many things in his life. The pupils of his eyes are mostly invisible, and he has no eyebrows. He also has black eye rings around his eyes, as if he hasn't slept for days on end.
Distinguishing Feature(s):
The kanji for "love" (ai) on his forehead, as well as the dark rings around his eyes.
Work
On days that he works in his office, there is pretty much really nothing to say about it. Dressed in very breathable white robes that are folded in god-knows- how many ways, these robes are very moveable in and do not restraint any parts of his body and flow easily with the wind. These robes are very loose, however they still remain to stay on his body. Underneath the robes, Gaara dons a sky blue fishnet shirt, and matching sky blue sweatpants. These are just mainly so that he has something else besides his robes to wear in broad daylight in his office or outside. So, whenever it gets really, really hot out, he can just remove the robe and prance (not nesscarily prance) around in his blue underclothing. With this attire, he wears the standard black shinobi shoes seen in Sunagakure—with the big toe separated from the four others.
Fighting Clothes
These clothes that Gaara wears have changed since his younger years. Instead of red, he wears more black but with a more subtle feeling to it, instead of something that hasn’t been stained at all after fighting. The black has faded a bit, but other than that it is still in good condition to be still worn around. He wears a long sleeved cloak, with a high collar, and which can be zippered up or down. Underneath this, is a black fishnet shirt and has a low curved collar to it. On top of this black cloak, is a one strap fabric material which is oddly sturdy enough to be holding his gourd. In the front of this piece of clothing, is where he can buckle together straps that allow said gourd to be carried around—although it may not seem easy, it is. Along the waist and waistline of his pants, which again are black, is a belt that keeps his pants from falling (most fundamental part of pants) and well, for show. He wears black sweatpants, like most shinobi do. On his pants, he keeps his shuriken holster on his right thigh and along the bottom of his pants is a piece of brown fabric that separates where his pants end and where his sandals start. His sandals, of course, are black and are like most sandals ninja wear—however in Sunagakure, the toes are parted between the big toe and the rest. As much as it looks like it would not be so movable in this attire, it really is. It’s just his choice not to move a lot as most do.
Overall Appearance:
So Gaara may look like he’s intimidating and scary, and in fact he is. His skin is pale and flawless—no signs of blemishes or anything. It’s amazingly soft and smooth—no less than from the Kazekage himself. His is not only one of the handsomest men in the Sunagakure, but he has the strength and power too. His body is lean, with little fat but with a good amount of muscle—such is the body of a ninja. He stands at five foot five inches, and weighs at an average one hundred and one pounds. And through the years of growing and changing, Gaara has changed his styles of clothing after his encounters with the people that changed him—Uzumaki Naruto and his ‘friends’. From red to black, and from genin to Kazekage, he’s certainly changed for the better.
Personality:
Gaara was a troubled child when he was younger, anytime he would try and become friends with anyone, even if they were initially scared of him. He was even feared by his own family, since his mother passed when he was born. When he found out his uncle Yashamaru cared for him he was overjoyed, but later on to find out it was only a fake love broke his heart. Gaara became emotionally withdrawn, all but silent, and consumed with a bitter loathing for everyone but himself and the voice of Shukaku in his head, which sounded like his "mother". When he was to be assasinated all he would do was enjoy the pleasure and tyrany from killing them. Anyone who came fourth to attempt killing him just suffered by losing their lives, while Gaara would just sit looking innocent. He started suffering from insomnia do to the fright of the demon within eating away at him, if he were to sleep would just bring him the urge to continue killing though.
This behavior continued through his life until Naruto defeated him in battle, since they were similar in a sense it woke him up to realize maybe life is worth living for another reason. To show how he wanted to change he would start apologizing, starting with his siblings, who he treated like trash. During the time that passed after the chuunin exams and what brought to Sasuke's retrieval shows that his kindness started to flourish, helping his old enemy but new friend Lee brought them to an understand and formed a bond of trust. As he continued to support the village, his good deeds rewarded him when the village finally started to respect him and made him Kazekage. Taking up the position might have brought a lot of work to him but he enjoyed it, since his village finally loved him. To this day Gaara is still the admirable person a certain few look up to, even if they still have some fright im him.
History:
credited to Leafninja.com
Gaara, also known as "Gaara of the Desert", is the fifth and current Kazekage of Hidden Sand Village in the Wind Country. He is younger brother to Temari and Kankurou, the son of the Fourth Kazekage, a student of Baki and former host to the one-tailed demon tanuki known as Shukaku. Before Gaara’s birth, a policy change by the feudal lord of the Wind country forced the village to reduce the number of ninja. Gaara’s father the Kazekage decided that quality should exceed quantity. He chose to use an old weapon of war, a bijuu, which had been imbued into two former Sand ninja in the past.
At his demand, one of Hidden Sand’s elder kunoichi's, a profoundly skilled woman by the name Chiyo sealed this weapon known as Shukaku into the unborn son of the Kazekage’s wife, Karura. Transferring it from the tea kettle it was held in, Gaara was imbued with the Shukaku, making him what many call a "Jinchuuriki", or "power of human sacrifice”. The term originates from the immense abilities that the subject wields, but at the loss of another human’s life. In this case, it was Karura who lost her life as her son was born. Furious about how she was to lose her life for the sake of a weapon, she named her baby in an accursed way. The name "Gaara" itself could be broken down to "A demon that loves only itself", a reflection of his inhuman nature and his status in the village as a weapon and nothing more.
Gaara grew up isolated, as the Shukaku came with more than just the loss of Karura as a price. Having been bonded so closely to Gaara, his will was ever-present in Gaara’s mind. His murderous nature instilled a violent mean streak in Gaara, further isolating him and shutting him off from the world socially. In addition, the Shukaku’s abilities generated an almost sentient and instinctive shield of sand that automatically protected Gaara from physical harm, even when he was the instigator, something Gaara himself realized when he never got cut and bled. Emotionally and physically shut away from everyone and everything, Gaara had no real friends, even with his immediate family looking down at him scornfully. The only person Gaara had come to be able to trust eventually was his uncle, Yashamaru, who educated him on some of the most basic human emotions that he would otherwise never learn.
One fateful night, Gaara was attacked from behind by an avalanche of kunai. Even though he was blind to the danger, his shield of sand protected him and wounded the attacker. Upon investigation, he saw the masked assassin was Yashamaru, who said the one who ordered the strike was none other than his father the Kazekage, who had deemed Gaara a failure as a weapon due to his instability. Yashamaru also confided that while he could have refused to carry out the assassination, he chose to take it willingly for Gaara's part in his sister's death. In his last moments, he activated a mass of exploding tags beneath his flak jacket in an attempt to take Gaara with him. Due to the sand shield, Gaara survived. His mind snapped due to the emotional torrent his immature mind was being burdened with. He wailed in agony and directed his sand to his forehead, carving the kanji "ai" or "love" into it, forever marking his body to remind himself of his new approach to life, to love only himself and fight only for himself.
Not deterred, the Kazekage ordered further assassinations towards Gaara, but every one met in failure. Gaara had learned to finally be the weapon he was intended, but he still retained his mental instabilities. He could never sleep for fear of the Shukaku’s influence on his unconscious mind. Some labeled it as the Shukaku "eating away at his personality". In truth, Shukaku’s personality replaced his, possessing Gaara’s body. Gaara never knew the full truth of the demon inside him. Believing that the blood of his victims that mixed with his sand strengthened him, or how he was possessed by the corrupted spirit of a priest of sand. For all the bravado, Gaara never rebelled against his father, welcoming the challenge of each life-or-death situation he was placed in as a confirmation of his existence.
Gaara was eventually entered into the Chuunin Exams held by Hidden Leaf village, although with an ulterior motive. He and his siblings passed the first stage, followed by the second without so much as a scratch. It was in this second test where he murdered a trio of rival Hidden Rain Genin for his own amusement and demonstrating his signature Desert Funeral attack, surrounding the victims in sand and crushing their bodies to powder before pain could even register in their brains. The incident was witnessed by Team 8, where Gaara’s mere presence made Akamaru quiver in fear.
During the third test prelims, Temari and Kankurou both noticed that each violent fight, Gaara began to grow more excited. Finally, Gaara himself stepped into the arena in the penultimate fight, facing Rock Lee. The first half of the fight saw Gaara mostly disappointed as Lee failed to strike him once, until Lee removed the weights on his legs and began to move at superhuman speed, eventually not only kicking Gaara on top of his head but also landing a punch on his face that appeared to crack it, something rarely seen. It turned out to be a layer of sand Gaara used as an outer shell, revealing Gaara’s real face beneath it, now grinning in a psychotically gleeful manner. Gaara began to assault Lee and throw him all over the arena and rip at him with torrents of sand, Lee was forced into using his Omote Renge, requiring several kicks to lift Gaara up to the required height while under immense pain himself. Spinning and crashing back to the ground, Gaara was driven into the floor.
To Lee’s shock, Gaara cracked apart like a hollow shell. The moment he closed his eyes from the pain, Gaara was able to substitute a sand clone and avoid the impact, which allowed him to go back on the offensive. Enraged, Gaara once again began to violently tear at Lee. With all hope seemingly lost, Lee used his trump card, the Ura Renge. Pummeling Gaara with a series of strikes that were too fast for the eye to see, Lee managed to completely strip every last grain of protective sand from Gaara’s body and drag him around at speeds too high for the sand shield to block. With a final blow, Lee sent Gaara’s unprotected body plummeting down for a final strike. At the last second, Gaara’s gourd itself turned into sand, cushioning the impact. Enraged at being made to feel pain again and not being able to kill Lee, Gaara crushed Lee’s arm and leg, intending to kill him. Luckily for Lee, the fight was stopped when his sensei Gai stepped in to knock away the oncoming sand.
The concept of Gai stopping the assassination sent Gaara’s mind reeling with confusion, forcing him to recall his past. He took his leave and was later placed against Sasuke in the third round test. Foolishly, Dosu Kinuta decided to challenge Gaara the next night as he sat alone in the moonlight, intending to kill him and take his place as Sasuke’s opponent with the intention of ruining Orochimaru’s plans. For his recklessness, he was killed as Gaara allowed the Shukaku a brief moment of freedom, reducing Dosu to little more than a bloody stain on the rooftop. Later, he would track down the unconscious Lee in his hospital bed with the intention of killing him. He was confronted by Shikamaru and Naruto, where he once again suffered a mental lapse and restated his desires, explaining his name. Naruto soon realized he and Gaara were very much alike. Gai soon arrived and sent Gaara away once again. After that, Gaara sought out Sasuke, not to kill, but to acknowledge him as prey formally and go so far as to state a certain level of similarity between them, all under Kakashi’s protective eye.
When the match finally came to take place, Gaara was stopped on the way into the stadium by two Grass ninja who asked him to stage a loss in order to help a bet. Gaara crushed them in a bloody shower, and then proceeded onwards, luckily for Shikamaru and Naruto who were also in his way. Telling them he had been sated for the moment, he allowed them to live, seeing as how his next match was also part of a secret mission. Facing off against a "fashionably late" Sasuke, he was struck several times during the match. Enraged, he formed a sand cocoon around himself made of sand that extended out into spines when approached. Inside, Gaara was beginning to transform his body into the Shukaku’s. However, before it was completed, Sasuke pierced the shell and drove a Chidori into Gaara. For the first time ever, Gaara bled, sending his mind reeling and his half-transformed body slashing out at Sasuke from within.
With the plan forced to begin early, Gaara’s mission began as a joint invasion of Hidden Sound with Sand’s backup started. Still unstable, Kankurou and Temari threw themselves in to help him get to safety until he recovered. Sasuke, under orders, followed him, though Kakashi also managed to throw Sakura, Naruto and Shikamaru into a mission along with Pakkun to follow Sasuke. Shino also decided to follow, seeking the match Kankurou denied him to keep in order with the plan. With his siblings taken out of the picture by Shino and Sasuke, Gaara finally tapped into the Shukaku’s true power and began to transform again, with the right side of his face and his arm grotesquely deforming into a shape reminiscent of the sandy talons that swiped from his shell, drooling and screaming. Screaming out at Sasuke to show himself, Gaara took a second Chidori, tearing his transformed arm off, but he did not give up.
Sasuke was driven to the point where he had to deny Kakashi’s warning and released the power of the cursed seal for a third Chidori, but Gaara’s rage and determination barred him from stopping. Naruto then entered the fray, picking up from where Sasuke left off, with the incentive of Sakura’s life on the line as Gaara bound her to a tree and threatened to crush her. The two battled, with Gaara falling deeper into the Shukaku’s hold as his body sprouted a tail and the only human parts left of him were his lower legs. Naruto managed to hold Gaara off, calling thousands of clones to aid him and knock the sand off his body. Utterly livid, Gaara finally decided to sacrifice his free will. Creating a gigantic body in the shape of a monstrous tanuki, Gaara emerged from the forehead and put himself to sleep, allowing the Shukaku’s personality to emerge in a suitable body.
Naruto summoned Gamabunta, who fought Shukaku with some persuasion from his son. Even Gamabunta was outmatched by Shukaku’s drilling blasts of wind that it literally punched out from the gut. Seeking to end things quickly, Naruto and Gamabunta used a combined transformation technique, changing into a replica of the nine-tailed demon fox to try and get close. Naruto was able to wake Gaara up with a punch, dispelling Shukaku’s hold, but then found himself trapped by Gaara and about to share Sakura’s fate. With one last burst of strength, he crudely head butted Gaara, nearly knocking him out and sending both of them plummeting to the ground as Gamabunta’s summoning was also dispelled. They both gasped for air and they lay immobile. Gaara began to feel legitimately threatened for his life when he noticed a determined Naruto beginning to crawl towards him.
Screaming at how his existence would not end, Naruto told him that it was his friends who gave him the strength and motivation to keep going. Gaara thought back to Yashamaru's words on love and began to see a new path in life. Defeated, Kankurou and Temari retrieved him once more and fled back home, but not without Gaara apologizing first in a shocking display of humanity. However, a worse situation yet had arisen as a few days after the invasion, the Fourth Kazekage’s corpse was discovered, decomposed to lengths that suggested he had been dead months before the Chuunin exam invasion had been planned. It indicated all correspondence with Sound had actually been Orochimaru himself posing as the Kazekage. Hidden Sand was forced into an unconditional surrender with Leaf and became their ally once again.
Gaara’s changed outlook on life was noticeable in his next appearance, as he had not only switched to a new, less dark outfit but showed none of his previous sociopath urges. The Sand siblings were sent to assist Hidden Leaf retrieve Sasuke from the Sound Four. Gaara himself sought out Lee to help. He greeted Lee and stated he also sought to repay a debt to Naruto. Up against Orochimaru’s strongest bodyguard, Kimimaro, Gaara found several of his tactics useless. The first part of the conflict appeared to end when Gaara trapped him in a Desert Funeral, only for Kimimaro to emerge with superficial injuries. Kimimaro activated his cursed seal, forcing Gaara to use a strategy so powerful it rearranged the terrain, swamping Kimimaro with sand until he was buried under it, where Gaara used his "Desert Imperial Funeral", a gigantic version of Desert Funeral that affected the land for hundreds of feet around them. And yet still, Kimimaro would not by stopped.
Emerging from his arid prison, Kimimaro stepped out with his cursed seal fully active, now looking like a misshapen dinosaur. He tore out his own spinal column and used it as a whip to ensnare Gaara. Kimimaro then reshaped the strongest bones in his body to become a drilling implement on his left hand. Gaara responded by using his absolute strongest defense, an effigy of the Shukaku no bigger than himself, suggesting his change of heart had allowed him to tame the Shukaku. The shield was constructed from strong minerals that he mixed into his sand and pressurized with his chakra. Kimimaro stabbed deep in, but ultimately lost as the bone shattered. Before he could launch another attack, Gaara created a whirlpool in the sand that dragged him far below the ground, imprisoning him in a suffocating prison. But Kimimaro was not done.
A huge eruption of bony protrusions littered the area like a freshly sprung forest, forcing Lee and Gaara to take refuge on floating clouds of sand. Gaara admitted he was low on chakra and lucky to be alive, all too soon as Kimimaro emerged from one of the pylons of bone. However, before Kimimaro could strike the fatal stab, his time ran out. The disease that had crippled him for months finally took him. Gaara understood completely, as Kimimaro’s devotion to Orochimaru’s cause was the same kind of faith Naruto had in his friends that caused him to move after total exhaustion. The Sand Siblings then returned to Sand. Over the following years, Gaara spoke with Kankurou about proving himself to their village. He wanted to be respected and seen as something other than a weapon. He sought to become Kazekage and the village advisory council relented, in the hopes of placating and making full use of him. The village soon grew to love and respect Gaara.

~ Armor of Sand [Suna no Yoroi] :: Suna no Yoroi is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by the Sand ninja Gaara. If Gaara's Suna no Tate fails, Gaara uses an almost invisible thin layer of sand to cover his body. For the sand to cover Gaara's body, he has to use his body's chakra. When covered by the sand Gaara becomes heavier and it is more difficult for his body to maneuver. Though the sand does provide some protection, sufficient strikes will break the armor to expose Gaara's natural body.
~ Desert Sand Floating [Sabaku Fuyuu] :: Sabaku Fuyuu is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by the Sand ninja Gaara. Using his ability to levitate sand, Gaara will bring together sand into cloud shape clumps. These clumps are dense enough for Gaara or another ninja to rest on.

~ Feigning Sleep Technique [Tanukineiri no Jutsu] :: Tanukineiri no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that allows Gaara to take full advantage of incarnation of sand. After being possessed by the Shukaku spirit, Gaara loses control of his body and personality to the demon when he sleeps. Normally as the medium, Gaara does not sleep to try and retain control over himself and the spirit. This limits the true power of Shukaku. However, if he wishes to allow Shukaku to emerge and obtain full control, he can use this technique to place himself into a temporary sleep. To end the sleep, a strong knock to the medium will wake them and end the control of the spirit.
~ Sand Prison Burial [Gokusamaisou] :: Gokusamaisou is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by the Sand ninja Gaara. Using his ability to manipulate sand, Gaara will loosen the ground below his target and cause them to sink deep within the earth. By being imprisoned at this depth, the pressure will completely limit their ability to move.

The technique functions similar to his Sabaku Kyuu except on a much larger scale. With the development of Gaara's powers he has gained further control over the nearby environment. By crushing rocks and pebbles in the ground with his sand, he can create more useable sand. After focusing his power, a large tidal wave size amount sand will rise from the ground to cover his target and the surrounding area. This technique serves to set up his Sabaku Taisou technique.
~ Desert Coffin [Sabaku Kyuu] :: Sabaku Kyuu is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by the Sand ninja Gaara. Gaara will cause sand to rise from the ground and wrap around the legs of his target, restraining them in place. The sand will then rise up to full encase the target.

~ Desert Prison [Sabaku Rou] :: Sabaku Rou is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by the Sand ninja Gaara. With the further expansion of his powers, Gaara has been able to control larger and larger amounts of sand. Sabaku Rou is a large scale version of Sabaku Kyuu. With this technique, Gaara will cause a large sphere of sand to encircle and trap his target.
~ Sand Clone Technique [Suna Bunshin no Jutsu] :: Suna Bunshin is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by the Sand ninja Gaara. The clone functions like a normal Bunshin, except it is made out of sand. The clone itself can be formed out of the Suna no Tate that protects Gaara. When a ninja goes to attack the Bunshin, the malleability of the sand allows the blow to sink into the sand, which can then wrap itself around the limb to constrain the attacker.
~ Sand Shower [Suna Shigure] :: The Suna Shigure is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by the Sand ninja Gaara. Using his chakra to control nearby sand, Gaara will levitate small clumps of sand above his opponent.

Gaara will cause sand to rise from the ground and encase his target using his Sabaku Kyuu technique, making them captured in place. Gaara will then do this jutsu to constrict and crush his target killing them. The blood of the victim will then mix with the sand which returns to Gaara's gourd. The blood then gives more power to the Shukaku demon imbued in Gaara.
~ Desert Imperial Funeral [Sabaku Taisou] :: Sabaku Taisou is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by the Sand ninja Gaara.

~ Shield of Sand [Suna no Tate] :: Suna no Tate is a Ninjutsu technique created by the Shukaku demon imbued into Gaara. The shield that protects Gaara does so under its own will. Since the time Gaara was a baby, the sand incarnation Shukaku has protected Gaara using this shield of sand. When needed, Gaara can also use his own chakra to control the sand to act as a barrier. Because the protection is reliant upon how quickly the Shukaku demon can respond, it is possible a fast enough ninja can bypass the sand and strike Gaara. If the shield fails, Gaara uses his Suna no Yoroi to act as secondary protection from attack.
~ Sky Sand Protective Wall [Kuusa Bouheki] :: Kuusa Bouheki is a Ninjutsu technique utilized by the Sand ninja Gaara. Using his ability to levitate sand, Gaara will form a large protective wall to block incoming attacks, such as explosions.

Sample RP:
The scared look on their faces was simply amusing—the look of fear, nervousness, hysteria—it was all so exciting. He loved it, simply loved it. He could smell the anxiety in the air, and the way his stomach fluttered with just the anticipation was unbearable. Bringing his hand forth with ease, the crazed look came back into his gaze and he grinned venomously. “You….Are my prey,” he muttered, before viciously squeezing his hand together and watching the body go limp—the blood spurted and rained onto the ground like rain itself. With the swiftness of the fastest bird in Sunagakure itself, he lifted the umbrella over his head—to create the shield that blocked him from the bloody rain. And, as he did that, he did that with a cruel smile. The scent of blood excited him again, and as the last drops of blood sprinkled onto the ground, his turquoise eyes averted to those of the victim’s teammates. “Are you prepared? Nothing will stop you now.” And he did it again—his arm lifted, he inhaled deeply the scent of cold blood, and then—
With a slow start, Gaara rose quietly from bed and looked around. There he was, still in his room—dark, a bit drafty but it was still his room. Although it was dark, he could see the clock above his room door. Three am. Maybe it was too early to wake up—of course, at this hour, he was perfectly used to it, being awake and all this late at night. It was true, he was. Closing his eyes, the man sighed softly as he painfully remembered the years when he was still under the influence of his bijuu, Shukaku the One Tailed Tanuki. And even then, he was still hopeless when it came to sleeping. The habits he had when he was a mere genin in training, had passed on and quite frankly he didn’t notice until now. Opening his eyes, this time Gaara looked out to towards the window on his right, peering out and looking at the dark sky. It was clear and not too many stars were out, and even if there were any stars out they would have been blocked by the numerous clouds. With a lift of his arm, he dragged the light silky sheet to the other side of the bed and turned his body around, so that his feet touched the floor. Standing up, Gaara took another look outside his window and closed his eyes, making his way over to his door and then exiting without shutting it. Perhaps getting a bit of fresh air would clear his mind.
He traveled through the various hallways, noticing the pictures that he never thought were there until he saw them now—how could he have not notice them? He passed them slowly, looking at them from up close even though it was already hard enough to see in the dark. There was a picture hanging on the wall, of him and his siblings. He stood there with a blank face but had a ‘what the hell are you looking at?’ type of feeling around him—whereas his older brother and sister were smiling and looking rather happy. And although he could tell that he obviously was not in a good mood that day (when was he in a good mood?), he couldn’t help but regret ever being that way in the first place. Moving on down the hall, he passed a picture of his uncle—his deceased uncle. His stomach churned slightly at the sight of his face, his eyes twitched a bit and his lips turned into a frown. His uncle Yashamaru had always seem so nice…But apparently there were reasons for his kindness, his ‘bond’ with Gaara.
Finally, he reached the end of the hall and the door to the outside. Reaching out with his left hand, he twisted the knob and pulled it towards him, stepping to the side and then stepping out. A breezed blew against his face, brushing through the red locks of hair on his head. Looking around, he found the roads of the village baren and he figured it would be good to take a walk around—although he was Kazekage, he didn’t find much time to really look around the village. He was stuffed up inside his office as well confined into the building of administration…True, he didn’t have to be, he could just up and leave but it seemed sensible to just stay within the building and work. It was a bad example for his citizens if he was behind on his paperwork—certainly not the type of thing for him to do, anyway. He took a step forward, before choosing to go right and started walking at a slow pace. It had been a while since he walked these streets as a mere civilian, and not the Kazekage.
It took a while for the moment to soak in, for him to get a feel of what was going on and what had happen in these very streets. As a child, children were playing and he unintentionally scared them off—or rather, they were disgusted with him and ran off. When he was twelve, he killed citizens of his own village in cold blood and threaten many. And now…Well, now he was the Kazekage, ruler of Sunagakure. But did that make people respect only because he was the Kazekage? Or was it because they actually did respect him? Gaara’s eyes widened to the slightlest degree, as he paused at an intersection. How did such questions appear in his mind? How could he even think of such questions? Letting another calm breeze ease his mind, he continued walking.
It was a walk down memory lane, perhaps.
