Chapter 210 Gaara
Chapter 210 Gaara
Sunagakure Village.
Feng Yan has been in Sunagakure for several months now and is a student at the Ninja Academy. Tomorrow is the graduation exam for this student.
Although she wasn't afraid of failing the assessment, she still had to put on a show, since she was a bottom-of-the-barrel student before she came.
After several months of hard work, she gradually shed the title of "last place" in the class, but she still dared not be too sharp and deliberately spent a lot of time cultivating every day.
Of course, she did train quite diligently, but the content of her training consisted of ninjutsu scrolls stolen from Sunagakure.
Tomorrow is my graduation exam, so of course I need to practice a little more.
Sunagakure is indeed not as prosperous as Konoha. Although the training started a little late, around 6 o'clock, there wasn't a single person to be seen on the road.
Just as Feng Yan said she hadn't seen anyone, she spotted a child sitting on the roof railing.
She didn't want to meddle, but she jumped up anyway. "What are you doing sitting here, you little brat? It's dangerous. You could fall off if you're not careful."
Feng Yan got closer and finally saw the child's face clearly. "Is this my Ai Luo?"
This was the first time Gaara had heard someone besides his uncle care about him, and his eyes didn't show the hatred, fear, or disgust that others usually did.
It was like a ray of light illuminating his heart.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Feng Yan instantly sensed an attack from behind, but the target wasn't her; it was Gaara.
Without a second thought, she stepped in front of herself, her hands rapidly forming hand seals, "Wind Release: Wind Fall!"
A powerful gust of wind blew away the incoming kunai.
"Wind Release: Shuriken!" Feng Yan quickly countered.
Taking advantage of the moment, she grabbed Gaara from behind and ran away.
She ran for a long time before stopping when she noticed the person catching up behind her. "Phew...Are you alright?"
"N-nothing...it's nothing." Gaara's aching heart seemed to be healed.
My uncle was right; only love can heal the wounds in our hearts.
"I'm glad you're alright. Let me take you home!"
"By the way, my name is Feng Yan. Can we be friends?" She extended her hand to Gaara.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Gaara's eyes were filled with hope.
Feng Yan shook her head, "I'm not afraid!"
"Can I come to play with you tomorrow?" Gaara asked cautiously.
"Tomorrow might not be possible, I have something to do..." Feng Yan noticed that Gaara's eyes were getting dimmer and dimmer.
"Why don't you come and watch my graduation exam tomorrow?" she said, changing the subject.
"If you pass your graduation exam, I'll treat you to dinner to celebrate!"
"Okay!" Gaara's first feeling was that loneliness was so far away from him. He wished it could stay like this forever.
After dropping Gaara off at her doorstep, Feng Yan seemed to remember something and asked, "I forgot to ask your name. Could you tell me what your name is?"
“Gaara!” he answered earnestly.
"Okay, I got it. Go on in now, see you tomorrow!" Feng Yan pinched his cheek and turned to leave.
Actually, she wanted to rub Gaara's eyes to see if the dark circles were real.
We can take it slow, after all, it's only the first day we met, and we can't scare them off.
Gaara watched her leave before returning home.
Back home, he happily shared, "Uncle, I've made a friend!"
"Congratulations, Gaara!" Yashamaru was also happy for him.
He felt immense guilt towards Gaara, as he had been the one to assassinate him not long ago.
Fortunately, Gaara was unharmed and was rescued.
I hope that girl truly cared for him!
The fact that Gaara fell asleep in bed for the first time shocked Yashamaru even more.
Perhaps this can change Lord Kazekage's strategy.
Little did they know that Gaara's ability to fall asleep was indeed due to Feng Yan's manipulation; temporarily sealing Shukaku was a piece of cake.
If the timing weren't wrong, she would have wanted Ye Li to come over and pull out the half of Shukaku's tail, which would have made it easier for Gaara to control it.
Seeing that Gaara was really asleep, Yashamaru went straight to the Kazekage's office.
As Rasa listened to Yashamaru's account, he asked someone to bring him Feng Yan's information.
"War orphans!"
"I started living alone at the age of five..."
"The worst student in the class..."
"..."
Such children are far too common in the ninja world. Rasa couldn't understand what could have caused Shukaku to calm down inside Gaara.
After a while, Kazekage Rasa spoke up, "If she passes the graduation exam tomorrow, she will be in charge of taking care of Gaara's daily life. Yashamaru, you will temporarily take a back seat."
"Yes, Lord Kazekage."
The next morning, Feng Yan, who usually arrived at the ninja academy right on time, arrived earlier than usual.
Gaara also woke up early, and he was quite surprised to be able to get a good night's sleep. The feeling was wonderful, and it was all thanks to her.
Gaara's obvious change at the dinner table was noticed by Rasa, Kankuro, and Temari.
After quickly finishing his food, Gaara couldn't wait to head to the Ninja Academy.
Kankuro and Temari are already in the Ninja Academy at this age. If it weren't for Gaara's special circumstances, he would have been able to enter the Ninja Academy much earlier.
Kankuro and Temari were utterly shocked to see Gaara at the Ninja Academy.
I decided to skip class and follow Gaara to see what he was up to.
At this moment, Feng Yan followed her teacher to a training ground.
The training ground was surrounded by four walls, and many people stood on the walls, except for one wall where only one person stood, and that was Gaara.
"Why is this monster here? Is it trying to sabotage the graduation exam?!"
"Yes, I wonder what Lord Kazekage is thinking."
"..."
These offensive words stabbed Gaara's heart again and again.
"Why did you do this to him? What did he do wrong?" Gaara covered his face in pain, his anger rising so intense he wanted to destroy everything.
"Gaara..." Feng Yan waved and called out happily when she saw Gaara.
Gaara looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Feng Yan's violent heart quickly calmed down, and he managed a smile.
Yes, not everyone treats him like that; he has a friend named Feng Yan.
A classmate of Feng Yan, who was about to take her graduation exam, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "You actually made friends with this monster."
"What kind of monster is this? Can it talk?"
"I'm making this clear today: if I ever hear the word 'monster' again, I'll beat them up," Feng Yan threatened, clenching her fist.
"Who do you think you can beat with your poor grades?" A slightly chubby boy nearby said disdainfully.
"He's a monster." The moment those words were spoken, the person was sent flying.
With a 'bang,' the slightly chubby boy was knocked into the wall.
It took several of his friends working together to dig him out.
Only then did they realize that Feng Yan was serious about what she had just said.
How can someone so cute be so violent?
Teachers don't care about these kinds of things at all; they turn a blind eye. As long as someone isn't beaten to death, they're fine with whatever they do.
After all, pressure is a driving force, and people can grow quickly.
