Gaara, Don't Cause Trouble for Xuanyu!

"You... are far too weak!"

Gaara looked at Darui and the others, a cold glint flashing through his eyes, along with a trace of disdain.

They truly were weak!

Although he had only met Xuanyu once, that encounter had changed both Gaara and Shukaku tremendously. It could be said that Gaara and Shukaku were no longer in the relationship of a seal bearer and the sealed.

The man and beast would chat from time to time. Even when Gaara was in danger or wanted to borrow Shukaku's power, Shukaku would lend it to him directly.

As their words fell, lightning burst from their
