Learning Emotions

Yang Xing didn't laugh; there wasn't even a hint of a smile on his face. He stared coldly at the dead bird on the ground. "Yes, it was indeed killed. Gaara, keep a close eye on this bird. Can you sense anything?"

Gaara glanced at it a few times, his expression unchanged, but he looked up, puzzled, and asked, "Is it pitiful?"

Yes, Gaara doesn't know what pitifulness is. No, it should be said that this brat originally had no feelings or emotions. Having forgotten some emotions, he only knows what death and life are.

"Gaara, do you really feel sorry for this little bird?" Yang Xing shook his head with a sigh, then looked up again, his eyes revealing a fierce aura. "Right now, you truly understand nothing. You don't understand any emotions, and you're not qualified to learn any Ninjutsu. Let's do it again. You must imagine this bird as your family member."

"Relatives?" Gaara tilted his head, Gaara expression still showing some confusion.

Yang Xing's tone was very straightforward. "Yes, you have to imagine that what's in front of you isn't birds, but your loved ones. When you use your Ninjutsu to protect your loved ones, to prevent them from causing trouble, to restrain them."

Gaara, head bowed, seemed lost in thought.

Yang Xing continued without pausing, "Gaara, if it were his father or mother?"

"Mother!" As if touched by a fragile part of his heart, Gaara's body trembled slightly.

"Yes, if your mother needs your protection, you must use your Sand Release to protect her from being controlled by certain people."

"But... but my mother is dead." Biting his lip, Gaara's eyes were somewhat vacant. "Because of my fault."

"Gaara, if you don't control your Ninjutsu and your Tailed Beast, it won't just be your mother who dies." Yang Xing's voice was very loud.

Not only Gaara heard those words, but Temari, who was not far away, also heard them.

At this moment, her heart was in turmoil. She stared at the guy named Yang Xing in front of her, her expression somewhat unusual. She bit her lip, and her face flushed slightly.

"Why?" Gaara looked up, his gaze filled with fear.

"Continue training." Yang Xing didn't answer, but said in an unyielding tone, "Now I'm going to show you what death is, what true killing is. Continue training."

"Oh." Gaara had no choice but to continue his training, using his Sand Release to catch the bird.

When it comes to the use of Ninjutsu and Chakra, Gaara's Sand Release is indeed powerful. So powerful that he can destroy a Taiseki with a casual swing. At his limit, he is only 5 years old and is feared even Jonin.

Gaara, who possesses such powerful escape techniques, also has a weakness that can be considered a weakness: he cannot perfectly control his strength. The amount of force needed to prevent the bird from dying is indeed very difficult for Gaara.

This caused birds to fall from the sky.

He repeatedly unleashed Sand Release, then repeatedly killed the little birds.

Gaara only stopped training when not a single bird was flying in the sky.

Chakra, panting from exhaustion due to excessive chakra depletion, Gaara up, somewhat hesitant to meet Yang Xing's gaze.

"I... I seem to fail every time. Am I really useless?" Gaara asked, his head bowed Gaara face showing a hint of dejection.

Even now, Yang Xing still couldn't see any emotion in this guy's eyes, Gaara still didn't understand what he meant by what he had just said.

Gaara, lift your head and look around you.

"All around?"

When Gaara looked up and surveyed his surroundings, his expression changed. His face stiffened, and his whole body trembled slightly. He had used Ninjutsu too many times and too frequently, to the point that he had forgotten how many times he had used it and what the consequences were.

Now, seeing the result, he understands what he had just done.

Hundreds of birds lay dead on the ground, some still struggling in their death throes. The canyon was filled with the corpses of small birds and other small animals barely clinging to life.

"These animals died because of you, because of you alone, because of your failure." Yang Xing's words echoed in Gaara's ears.

It also reminded him of some things, things he should have forgotten.

Gaara clutched his head, trembling all over. "I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to do this, Mom, Mom."

"Don't play the victim with me." Yang Xing showed no sympathy whatsoever, but rather a chilling indifference. "Gaara, this is your true nature. No matter how many people you kill, no matter what others do, as long as you get what you want, that's all that matters."

"No, no." Gaara looked up, tears welling in his eyes.

"Then, who killed these birds?" Yang Xing pointed around, his voice booming, "I only asked you to catch the birds, not to kill them."

"But, but, I can't control my strength, I really can't control my power."

"So, your mother died too?"

"No, no, no." Gaara looked up, trembling all over. His body began to change, his eyes glazed over, and red Chakra slowly enveloped him. "I didn't kill him, it wasn't me."

The sand on the ground climbed onto Gaara's body, showing signs of slowly Tailed Beast Transformation.

A strong wind arose, Gaara was clearly starting to lose control.

This situation alarmed Temari, who was hiding in the shadows. She panicked and tried to run out, yelling, "This is bad! Make that guy stop! Gaara's going crazy! When he goes berserk, he won't care about anyone! Let me go!"

Unfortunately, before Temari could even go up, Guren back. Guren, her face cold, said calmly, "Master will handle this."

"That guy has no idea how crazy Gaara, let me through now."

"Master will handle it!"

Temari looked anxious and wanted to force her way through, but a loud shout from someone in front of her startled Temari, and she dared not take another step forward.

"One-Tail, don't you dare come out and cause trouble!"

Sensing a powerful aura, the One-Tail creature, unable to materialize, turned its head and met Yang Xing's eyes. Its entire body trembled, and it immediately shrank back.

Yes, the One-Tail Beast, which used to wreak havoc when it Tailed Beast Transformation, retreated immediately because of a single glance from Yang Xing and dared not reappear.

This would absolutely shock Temari so much that she wouldn't be able to utter a single word.

He is a true Kage Level, even more powerful than her father— Super Kage Level expert.

Perhaps only he can restore Gaara to his true nature, and only he can save his village.

Once Temari had settled down, the way she looked at Yang Xing was completely different from before.

Yang Xing didn't laugh; there wasn't even a hint of a smile on his face. He stared coldly at the dead bird on the ground. "Yes, it was indeed killed. Gaara, keep a close eye on this bird. Can you sense anything?"
