At that moment, all the Sunagakure shinobi around them were looking at Rasa.
Konoha's Hokage was actually demanding to take their village's jinchūriki away.
How could they allow that?!
"Gaara, go to Konoha with its Hokage."
Rasa's voice slowly rang out.
"Lord Kazekage, we can't..."
"Let's go. Back to the village!"
Rasa did not even spare Gaara another glance. He turned and headed straight toward Sunagakure.
Seeing Rasa's actions, the Sunagakure shinobi, however hesitant they were, did not disobey him. They followed him away.
Soon, only Uchiha Kazama and the other two remained.
"Let's introduce ourselves."
"I'm Uchiha Kazama, Konoha's Hokage!"
"Our village's jinchūriki is about your age. You two should be able to become friends."
"Let's go."
With that, Uchiha Kazama turned and started walking toward Konoha.
Gaara raised his head and glanced around.
Still silent, he followed behind Uchiha Kazama.
Night fell.
The four of them stopped beside a stream.
Gaara sat alone beneath a large tree.
His expression warned everyone to stay away.
Aside from that expression, he did not even have his guard up.
His own father had abandoned him just like that. What was there left to guard against?!
"Kazama, you..."
Konan walked over to Uchiha Kazama, looking puzzled.
Judging by what Uchiha Kazama had done before, he had never liked trouble.
Why had he suddenly decided to bring Gaara back to Konoha with them?!
Tailed beasts...
Could Uchiha Kazama be after these tailed beasts too?
"My student, Naruto, is also a jinchūriki."
"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and the Fourth Hokage's son."
"Kurama once went on a rampage in Konoha. The Fourth died during that incident."
"And because Kurama caused so much damage, the villagers all shunned Naruto."
"Ever since he was little, he's borne the blame for crimes that weren't his..."
Uchiha Kazama briefly explained
