Better to Leave This Place

Gaara is on the verge of completely losing his self-awareness.

At this moment, his thoughts and will were mostly controlled by One-Tail.

So after controlling and enveloping Yashamaru with sand, Gaara launched his fatal attack without hesitation.

The sand acted like high explosives, rapidly contracting and exploding after attaching to and enveloping the target's body.

The target encased within it not only endures immense pressure and crushing force.

And it is also suffering damage from the explosion.

The consequences were predictable.

Soon, some blood seeped into the sand.

To One-Tail, Yashamaru's actions were not simply about killing Gaara.

As Gaara's Jinchūriki, if Gaara dies, then the Gaara sealed within him will also perish.

In other words, killing Gaara is tantamount to killing oneself.

One-Tail, of course, would never allow anyone to do that.

"Hahahaha... Finally dead!"

"I told you, no one in this village will ever love you!"

Even your closest relatives will harbor the same hostility towards you as the villagers!

"Gaara, in everyone's eyes you're nothing but a monster."

"A monster that terrifies them, even makes them want to get rid of you, hahahaha..."

After controlling Gaara and using his power to kill Yashamaru, Shukaku, the One-Tail Beast, began to laugh loudly.

Upon hearing this voice, Gaara was instantly overcome with pain.

He clutched his head, desperately trying to escape, to get rid of that thing inside his body and in his mind.

But none of this is possible.

Ever since the One-Tail Shukaku was sealed inside him, Gaara has hardly slept at all.

Because One-Tail threatened him, saying that as long as he fell asleep, it could completely take over his body and control his consciousness.

Gaara did not want to be controlled by a Tailed Beast.

So all these years, he has been silently fighting against Shukaku, the One-Tail Beast.

However, sometimes, the opponent's power is simply too great.

Therefore, Gaara would occasionally go berserk because he couldn't control the impulses of Shukaku within him.

After his outburst, he didn't even know what he had done.

It was One-Tail who recounted it to him afterward.

At this moment, Gaara's expression was one of extreme pain.

He desperately tried to break One-Tail Shukaku's mental control.

But it's simply impossible to do.

Just as Gaara was feeling utterly hopeless, furious, angry, and heartbroken, a figure suddenly approached slowly.

Upon hearing footsteps, Gaara suddenly stopped all his frantic shouting and yelling.

He turned around and looked behind him.

Gaara saw a young man walking towards him.

The other person's attire and appearance did not suggest they were from Sunagakure.

He didn't even seem like a person from the Land of Wind.

They don't seem like ninjas either.

"Who are you?"

Gaara is still in a semi-berserk state.

Therefore, his voice also contained the voice of One-Tail.

Gaara wasn't the only one curious about Lin Yan's identity and background; Gaara, the One-Tail Beast, was also curious.

"Someone who comes to save you from your suffering."

Lin Yan responded with a smile.

"Save me... from this sea of suffering?"

"So, you're here to kill me too?"

Gaara immediately realized this, and his aura instantly turned icy cold.

His eyes were sharp as knives, fixed intently on Lin Yan.

However, he did not act rashly.

Even Gaara, or One-Tail Shukaku, sensed the extraordinary nature of this mysterious stranger before him.

Therefore, he dared not act rashly.

"If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it already."

Do you think you can stop me?

Lin Yan spoke with a half-smile, then suddenly disappeared more than thirty meters away, and in the next instant he was completely in front of Gaara.

It was so fast that even Gaara's passively defensive sand couldn't react.

Of course, neither Gaara nor One-Tail reacted in time.

When they finally saw Lin Yan appear before them, they stared at Lin Yan in utter shock.

So, what should I call you?

"Gaara? Or... Shukaku?"

Lin Yan looked at the monstrous Gaara before her with a half-smile.

"Kid, are you declaring war on me?"

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, One-Tail immediately became enraged.

At the same time, its eyes also flashed with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

The other person actually knew me.

This is really strange.

It uttered its own questioning voice and stared coldly at Lin Yan.

Lin Yan's response was also quite direct and Haki.

He instantly released a certain amount of Conqueror's Haki, and the pressure surged towards Shukaku in front of him like a giant One-Tail.

This terrifying power instantly changed the expression One-Tail Shukaku's face.

It stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Lin Yan.

The terrifying feeling of being targeted by a demon, completely unable to escape or resist, and the intense sense of danger generated by that powerful aura, left Shukaku with lingering fear.

His attempt to threaten his opponent failed, and instead he was met with a vicious threat, nearly scareing himself to death.

At this moment, Shukaku, the One-Tail Beast, was a little scared.

"Kid, who exactly are you?"

One-Tail looked at Lin Yan with suspicion and questioned her again.

"Someone who has come to help you."

At this moment, Lin Yan repeated the same words he had said when he first met Gaara.

Hearing him say that, Gaara came to his senses.

How can you help me?

Gaara asked.

"Since your village dislikes you so much, and even tries to eliminate you and One-Tail in order to protect the village's interests."

"Then why don't you choose to leave here?"

"Leave this place that makes you sad, and go to a place that will welcome you back."

Lin Yan smiled knowingly.

His words stunned Gaara and One-Tail, who had just been filled with anger and hostility.

"To go somewhere... where we're willing to be accepted?"

"Leave Sunagakure?"

At this moment One-Tail and Gaara, one human and one beast, each voiced their own questions.

Lin Yan nodded seriously. "That's right, leave Sunagakure and go somewhere that will accept you."

"No one there will despise you as a scourge, a disaster."

"You can live like any ordinary person, Gaara."

Lin Yan patiently guided the other party.

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, young Gaara was indeed somewhat tempted.

He had simply had enough of the betrayals and hurts.
