Chapter 194: The Truth About Protecting Someone-How Can This Little Girl Be So Alluring?

"What do you mean?"

Gaara asked, confused.

"You've been surrounded by love since the day you were born."

"The sand that protects you isn't Shukaku's power."

Naruto Uzumaki spoke softly.

"What did you say?"
