Temari wanted to see what Shiro was writing, but he was writing too fast; as soon as one page was finished, he immediately pulled out the one at the bottom, making it impossible to read normally.
Temari even began to suspect if the paper was specially made, otherwise, writing so quickly, wouldn't it just catch fire?
While Shiro was writing at top speed, Naruto and Gaara finally fought to the last moment.
Naruto used his Iron Head of Love, headbutting Gaara, and both fell simultaneously from the air.
After collapsing on the ground, Naruto crawled towards Gaara, recounting how he was discriminated against as a monster by the villagers, how he gained Iruka's recognition, and how he would never give up to protect the people he cared about.
From a distance, they looked like a pair of star-crossed lovers.
"Oh, it's reached this point, I need to go over there."
Shiro noticed the scene in the distance, shoved the half-written paper into Temari's hand, "If you want to read it, then read it. Help me hold this."
With that, Shiro's figure disappeared.
"Wait, what are you going to do!"
Temari didn't look at the manuscript paper after taking it. When she saw Shiro rushing towards Gaara, she anxiously chased after him.
She was afraid Shiro would harm her younger brother, Gaara.
"Naruto, if you knew what Gaara experienced in his childhood, you would also understand why he became like this."
Shiro saw Naruto struggling to crawl and, being very considerate, went over, pulled Naruto up, and placed him on top of Gaara.
As both of them were exhausted and their chakra depleted, they couldn't resist at all.
However, Naruto didn't mind. Upon hearing Shiro's words, he was very curious: "Brother Shiro, I can feel his loneliness, his pain. He's very much like how I used to be... Can you tell me about his past?"
"Of course. He is indeed very much like you. From a young age, Ichibi Shukaku was sealed inside him. He was treated as a monster, hated by the villagers. His father is the Fourth Kazekage, but it had no effect whatsoever."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because his father, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, was the culprit who caused him to become this way. This Rasa, he's truly a beast-level character."
Shiro was insulting the father here, but Gaara didn't retort at all. Even Temari, who had rushed over worried about Gaara, was silent at this moment.
"Rasa, in order to find a new vessel for Ichibi Shukaku, frantically made babies with his wife. You can tell by the birth dates and age differences of those three in Sunagakure.
His wife almost got pregnant with another child immediately after giving birth to one.
It was due to this kind of 'overwork' that after giving birth to Gaara, the last one qualified to be a vessel, their mother passed away."
Temari remained silent, her head bowed, her expression a little sad.
At fifteen years old, she had also learned some related knowledge from older female ninja in the village.
What Shiro said was not wrong.
Her mother, perhaps, really died that way.
"After Gaara became Shukaku's vessel, Rasa, in order to make him a qualified weapon for Sunagakure, constantly provoked him, hoping he would forget emotions.
He repeatedly sent people to assassinate him, and even had his own uncle, who had always doted on him, try to kill him, telling him that his mother didn't love him at all, thoroughly igniting his hatred.
One can only say that Rasa, this Kazekage, is both stupid and evil.
What a Jinchuriki needs most is to fill the void in their heart with emotions, yet he did the exact opposite.
And even if we follow his imagined logic, he believes a Jinchuriki should forget emotions.
What, love is an emotion, but hate isn't?
Oh, I also heard that Sunagakure's hero ninja, Pakura, was also betrayed by Rasa, who used the hero's life as a bargaining chip and handed her over to Hidden Mist Village.
Such a beast-level fellow, both publicly and privately, is truly rare in the ninja world."
"What? How is that possible?! Sunagakure's hero was actually... by Father..."
Temari looked incredulous.
"Don't believe it? Later, you can have Orochimaru use Impure World Reincarnation to bring her back, and you can ask her yourselves."
"..."
Temari said nothing more.
In fact, she already believed it.
The other party understood Gaara's situation so thoroughly, which meant the intelligence gathering was complete.
There was no need to fabricate anything in this regard.
Naruto, meanwhile, was completely stunned by the story.
"Panda Eyes, is everything Brother Shiro said true? Your dad really..."
"Mm."
Gaara turned his head away, responding in a muffled voice.
"Oh my god, I didn't expect your dad to be that kind of person?
I used to fantasize about what it would be like if my parents were still alive, but now I feel like if it were like that, Mom and Dad might as well be dead.
I have Iruka-sensei, Kakashi-sensei, and the Third Hokage. That's enough."
Naruto spoke his mind, looking relieved.
"Naruto."
"Huh? What's wrong, Brother Shiro?"
"Could you repeat what you just said?"
Shiro took out a recorder.
"Oh, I said... Mom and Dad might as well be dead."
"OK, no problem."
Shiro finished the recording, hoping he could handle it later.
"That lady without... you know, if you have nothing else to do, you can read what's in your hand to these two. That's my... no, it's Kakashi's work, a fanfiction created based on Rasa and your relationship."
"...If you dare to call me 'that lady without...', I'll, I'll..."
Temari struggled for a long time, not knowing what to threaten Shiro with.
"I'll tell everyone you've been eyeing my butt! Anyway, the Tsuchikage can prove it!"
Temari glanced at Kurotsuchi flying in the sky, gritted her teeth, threw caution to the wind, and activated self-destruct mode.
"Huh?"
Gaara, pressed beneath Naruto, was startled by the remark.
It turns out he wasn't the only one being targeted; even his sister...
"Butt? Brother Shiro, you didn't secretly learn our Konoha's ultimate taijutsu technique and use Thousand Years of Death on this violent woman, did you? Good job!"
Naruto looked pleasantly surprised.
"What are you laughing at, scram!"
Temari angrily stomped on Naruto's butt.
However, because Naruto was lying on Gaara, this stomp directly made Gaara feel Naruto's impact as well.
Temari saw Gaara's pained expression, realized what she had done, and hastily withdrew her strength.
Good thing, they almost became Diao Chan together.
"Alright, I won't call you that anymore. Hurry up and read, Miss Temari."
Shiro waved his hand.
"Hmph, and you said Kakashi wrote it. If I hadn't watched you write this, I really would have believed it."
Temari pouted and looked down at the content on the manuscript paper.
"Rasa is the leader of Sunagakure, skilled in Magnet Release, controlling magnetic fields, and manipulating gold dust.
In the eyes of all the villagers, he is 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 injuries and was seen by his older sister, Temari.
Temari was very concerned about Gaara and went forward to ask who had bullied him, and why he didn't tell his father, the Kazekage, to help him.
Gaara was filled with immense hatred and told his sister not to go to that beast, saying it was him who had beaten him like this.
Then he confided in his sister."
Reading up to this point, Temari felt very strange.
Wasn't this exactly the same as what Shiro had told her earlier, what had happened to them?
Except that instead of sending assassins to kill Gaara, it became personally beating Gaara.
And Gaara confiding in her about this was fictional, but other than that, nothing was different, right?
She continued to read.
"Temari didn't understand why her father would treat her younger brother Gaara like this. Not knowing who to believe, she went to Rasa, wanting to confirm.
Temari found Rasa and stammered, 'Fa-father, Gaara says that ever since Mother died, your personality has changed drastically, and you've repeatedly tried to 'Starry Sky' him...' Rasa sighed deeply, 'Temari, after your mother Karura died, I always thought I had lost her forever, but recently I found that's not the case. I found Gaara, he's so much like your mother!
This must be your mother's soul descending upon him, your mother has been resurrected!'
Temari wanted to argue, to make her father sober up.
But Rasa roared, 'Do you understand filial piety?! Is it too much to ask for your dad to be happy after giving birth to you?! If you utter another word, I won't spare you either!'
Temari was frightened and frantically tried to run out to inform the villagers of Sunagakure about her father's actions, but she was pierced through the heart by Rasa's gold dust..."
After reading this passage, Temari said she was indeed frightened.
She was very glad that, in this story, she was already dead.
Temari looked at Shiro with eyes full of awe.
Is a man who can write such things even human?
He looks calm and handsome on the surface, but his inner self is probably even more deranged than Gaara, right?
