Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 73 The Story of the Luo Sha Family

Temari wanted to see what Bai Mo was writing, but Bai Mo wrote too fast. After finishing a piece of paper, he would immediately pull it out and place it at the bottom, making it impossible to read normally.

Temari began to suspect that the paper was specially made, otherwise, wouldn't writing so quickly ignite it?

As Bai Mo wrote at lightning speed, Naruto and Gaara finally fought to the very last moment.

Naruto used his Iron Head of Love to smash Gaara's head into it, and the two of them fell from the sky together.

After falling to the ground, Naruto crawled toward Gaara, recounting how he was discriminated against as a monster by the villagers, how he gained Iruka's approval, and how he would never give up in order to protect the people he cared about.

From a distance, they look like a pair of star-crossed lovers.

"Oh, it's come to this point. I need to go over there."

Bai Mo noticed the scene in the distance, shoved the half-written paper into Temari's hand, and said, "Look if you want to see it. Can you hold it for me?"

After saying that, Bai Mo disappeared.

"Wait, what are you doing!"

Temari took the manuscript but didn't look at it. When she realized that Bai Mo was heading towards Gaara, she hurriedly chased after him.

He was terrified that Bai Mo would hurt his younger brother, Gaara.

"Naruto, if you knew what Gaara went through in his childhood, you would understand why he became the way he is."

Seeing that Naruto was very tired from crawling, Bai Mo kindly stepped forward, pulled Naruto up, and placed him on Gaara's body.

Both of them were exhausted and had no chakra left, so they were unable to resist.

However, Naruto didn't pay attention. After hearing Bai Mo's words, he became very curious: "Brother Bai Mo, I can feel his loneliness and his pain. He is just like me in the past... Can you tell me about his past?"

"Of course, he is indeed very similar to you. He had the One-Tailed Shukaku sealed inside him since childhood, was treated as a monster, and was hated by the villagers. His father was the Fourth Kazekage, but it had no effect on him."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because his father, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, was the culprit who caused him to become like this. This Rasa can be described as a true beast."

Bai Mo was cursing his father, but Gaara didn't refute him at all. Even Temari, who was worried about Gaara coming, remained silent.

"In order to find a new vessel for the One-Tailed Shukaku, Rasa went crazy having children with his wife. You can tell by looking at the birthdays and age differences of the three people in Sunagakure."

His wife became pregnant with another child almost immediately after giving birth to one.

It was because of this excessive "overwork" that their mother died after giving birth to Gaara, the last one qualified to become a vessel.

Temari remained silent, her head bowed and her expression somewhat sorrowful.

Now that she's fifteen, she's also learning some relevant knowledge from the older female ninjas in the village.

What Bai Mo said was correct.

Perhaps that's really how my mother died.

"After Gaara became Shukaku's vessel, Rasa constantly provoked him in order to make him a qualified weapon of Sunagakure, hoping that he would forget his emotions."

He was repeatedly sent to assassinate him, and even his own uncle, who had been very kind to him, was ordered to do so. He was also told that his mother did not love him at all, which completely fueled his hatred.

All I can say is that Rosa, the Wind Shadow, is both stupid and wicked.

What a Jinchūriki needs most is to fill the void in their heart with emotions, but he did the opposite.

Moreover, even according to his imagined logic, he believed that Jinchuriki should forget emotions.

What? Love is an emotion, but hate isn't?

Oh, I also heard that Pakura, the hero ninja of Sunagakure, was also betrayed by Rasa, who used the hero's life as a bargaining chip to give to Kirigakure.

Such a beast, both in public and private matters, is truly a rare breed in the ninja world.

"What?! How is this possible?! The hero of Sunagakure was actually killed by my father...!"

Temari looked on incredulously.

"Don't believe me? We can have Orochimaru resurrected using Edo Tensei later, and you can ask her yourself."

"..."

Temari didn't say anything more.

She had already believed it.

The fact that the other side knows so much about Gaara's situation shows that they have done their research.

There's absolutely no need to fabricate anything in this regard.

Naruto was completely mesmerized by the story.

"Panda eyes, is what Brother Bai Mo said true? Your dad really..."

"Um."

Gaara turned his head away and responded in a muffled voice.

"My God, I never thought your dad was this kind of person?"

I used to fantasize about what it would be like if my parents were still alive, but now I feel that if that were the case, my parents would be better off dead.

"I have Iruka-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, and the Third Hokage, that's enough for me."

Naruto was straightforward and spoke his mind, looking relieved.

"Naruto."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Brother Bai Mo?"

"Could you repeat what you just said?"

Bai Mo took out a tape recorder.

"Oh, I mean... Mom and Dad might as well be dead."

"OK, no problem."

Bai Mo finished recording and hopes he can handle it in the future.

"That lady who doesn't have any of that stuff, if you have nothing to do, you can let these two read what you have in your hand. That's something I... no, I mean Kakashi created based on the relationship between Rasa and you two."

"...If you dare call me 'Ms. Nothing' again, I'll...I'll..."

Temari hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't come up with anything to threaten Bai Mo with.

"I'll tell everyone, you're after my ass! The Tsuchikage can prove it!"

Temari glanced at the black soil flying from the sky, gritted her teeth, and decided to go all out, activating her self-destruct truck mode.

"what?"

Gaara, who was pinned down by Naruto, was startled by what he heard.

It turns out he wasn't the only one being targeted; even his sister was...

"Butt? Brother Bai Mo, you didn't secretly learn some of Konoha's taijutsu secrets and use the Thousand Years of Death technique on this violent woman, did you? Well done!"

Naruto looked pleasantly surprised.

"What are you laughing at? Get lost!"

Temari angrily stomped on Naruto's butt.

However, because Naruto was lying on Gaara, this step caused Gaara to also feel Naruto's impact.

When Temari saw Gaara's pained expression, she realized what was happening and quickly withdrew her strength.

Thankfully, they almost ended up together.

"Alright, I won't call you that anymore. Hurry up and read it, Temari-san."

Bai Mo waved his hand.

"Tch, you even said it was written by Kakashi. If I hadn't watched you write this, I would have actually believed it."

Temari pursed her lips and looked down at the contents of the manuscript.

"Rasa is the leader of Sunagakure. He is skilled in Magnet Release, controlling magnetic fields and manipulating gold dust."

In the eyes of all the villagers, he was a beloved leader.

After Rasa's wife died, he often called Gaara to his room for special training.

One day, Gaara returned home covered in wounds, where his older sister Temari saw him.

Temari was very concerned about Gaara and went up to ask who had bullied him and why he hadn't told the Kazekage father so that he could help.

Gaara was filled with resentment and told his sister, "Don't go looking for that beast. He's the one who beat me up like this."

Then she confided in her sister.

Temari felt very strange upon reading this.

Isn't this exactly the same as what Bai Mo told us before, the things that happened to them?

Instead of sending assassins to kill Gaara, he personally beat Gaara.

And the fact that Gaara confided in her was fabricated, but otherwise it's not much different, right?

Continue reading.

"Temari was puzzled as to why her father would treat her younger brother Gaara this way, and she didn't know who to believe, so she went to find Rasa to ask for confirmation."

Temari found Rasa and stammered as she asked, "Father, Gaara said that since Mother's death, your personality has changed drastically, and you've repeatedly tried to 'Starry Night' with him..."

Rasa sighed deeply. "Temari, after your mother Karura died, I always thought I had lost her forever, but recently I discovered that's not the case. I discovered Gaara, and he's very much like your mother."

This must be your mother's soul descending into him; your mother has been resurrected!

Temari wanted to argue back and bring her father to his senses.

Luo Sha roared – "Don't you even know what filial piety is?! I gave birth to you to make your father happy, is that not enough?! If you utter another word, I won't let you off the hook either!"

Temari was terrified and panicked, trying to run out to tell the villagers of Sunagakure about her father's actions, but Rasa pierced her heart with gold dust...

After reading this passage, Temari indicated that she was indeed frightened.

Thankfully, she is dead in this story.

Temari looked at Bai Mo with eyes full of awe.

Is a man capable of writing something like this even human?

He seems calm and handsome on the surface, but is he probably even more insane than Gaara inside?
