Chapter 108 Imperial
Chapter 108 Imperial
Gaara has lacked love since he was a child.
So since her mother's death, Temari has always played the role of both an older sister and a mother.
For Temari, Gaara was not only a Jinchūriki, but also her younger brother and an extension of her mother's life.
Although she couldn't help but feel a fear of Gaara as his personality gradually became twisted, as his older sister, she was able to recognize Gaara's cowardice and unease.
No matter what means are used, one must prove one's existence and prove that one is needed.
Therefore, she always took great care of Gaara.
After the deaths of her mother and uncle, and after Gaara fell into obsession, she became the only one who could influence Gaara.
Although he has a somewhat fierce personality, if it were an ordinary woman, simply being by Gaara's side would be enough to kill her.
After all, she is the daughter of the Kazekage. Temari's talent may not seem like much to Naruto, but she is undoubtedly one of the best in Sunagakure.
At fifteen years old, she already possessed the strength to become a Jonin, but for Gaara's sake, she postponed her participation in the Chunin Exams and chose to stay in the same team to take care of her two younger brothers.
While Gaara remained as ferocious as ever, she was somewhat comforted by the fact that her efforts had not been in vain.
Gaara probably still likes his older sister quite a bit.
Although she also cannot make Gaara obey orders, she is currently the only one who can restrain Gaara. Even when she tries to dissuade Gaara, he has never attacked her.
But if it were Kankuro, he would only get a beating, and in more serious cases, he might even lose his life...
This is also why Temari was willing to let Naruto take Gaara away.
If Naruto can truly change Gaara, then as long as she, his older sister, is around, the relationship between Sunagakure and Gaara will not be completely severed. This is the only thing she can do for Sunagakure right now.
As for Gaara's decision to leave with Naruto, Temari planned to wait until after the Chunin Exams to tell him, without even informing the Jonin who was leading the team, Baki.
After all, bringing it up now would only escalate the conflict prematurely.
Does Konoha currently have anyone capable of resisting Naruto?
There isn't one in the entire ninja world.
That's alright then...
Having figured this out and recognized reality, Temari, powerless to resist, chose to give up.
Since there's no way to stop Gaara from leaving anyway, there's nothing wrong with just giving up like this.
Not to mention that even after giving up, she still has a handsome blond guy to go on dates with...
She's never experienced this before in her entire life!
Two minutes after leaving the hotel with Naruto…
Seeing the strange, timid looks from the Konoha residents by the roadside, Temari regretted her decision.
The blonde girl with four ponytails followed Naruto, her head slightly lowered, her eyes filled with emptiness.
I was so stupid, so very stupid...
This guy is a Jinchūriki!
He's a Jinchūriki from Konoha!
Even if she doesn't know what Naruto went through in Konoha, as his older sister, don't she know what Gaara went through?
Moreover, unlike the fear and hatred that the residents of Sunagakure felt towards Gaara, the people of Konoha looked at Naruto with a more complex gaze.
That cold, distant gaze, suppressing hatred yet also concealing guilt, made Temari feel as if bugs were crawling all over her, making her feel incredibly uncomfortable!
"Are you really okay?"
Temari looked at Naruto with some concern: "How about we go somewhere else?"
Naruto turned to look at Temari, and then smiled, as if he had thought of something.
Then he gently grasped Temari's hand, and under Temari's slightly shy gaze, he used Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to the house left behind by Fuuka Koyuki in the Fire City.
Although no one has lived here for a long time, the house is still kept clean and tidy. Ever since Naruto and Kazahana Koyuki left, Okamura Tensai has been taking care of the house.
"Where is this again?" Temari looked around.
"The City of Fire, a friend's house."
Naruto casually explained, "Let's go, I'll show you around the City of Fire."
The two had barely stepped out onto the street when they were recognized again.
However, unlike in Konoha, people are looking at it in a completely different way this time.
"Huh? That's...that's Naruto Uzumaki, right?"
"That's him!"
Wow... he's even more handsome in person than in the poster!
"Naruto Uzumaki! It's Naruto Uzumaki!"
Several children who were playing by the roadside suddenly surrounded Naruto, laughing and joking.
"Naruto-sama, could you please sign your autograph?"
A little girl with pigtails gently clutched Naruto's clothes, smiling happily.
Naruto was very approachable and cheerfully took out paper and pen, signing one for each person.
Temari sighed helplessly, "You really are something else, always attracting attention no matter where you are."
"There's nothing I can do about it. I also want to be like everyone else, to find some great ideals to put into practice, and then write down my story a hundred years from now so that future generations can look back on it..."
Naruto shook his head slightly and sighed softly.
"But later I realized that this was almost impossible, because no matter what I did, when I looked back in the end, my whole life was always defined by the word 'handsome'."
"Superficial, pathetic, but that's just who I am, Naruto Uzumaki..."
"..."
Temari was speechless for a few seconds, then she was amused.
"So you invited me out on a date just to say something so shameless? Seriously, why did you suddenly decide to... ask me out? It's not like you really think I'm great, is it?"
Naruto tilted his head: "Isn't that reason enough?"
"Oh?"
Temari's lips curled into a slight smile: "Then tell me, what's so good about me?"
"Fishing net and black stockings..."
Temari silently gripped the Samsung fan tightly.
"Haha, just kidding..."
Naruto smiled and pressed down on the fan handle: "Probably because of my personality?"
Temari's face darkened: "You're not trying to say that my rough personality, which is different from other girls, is what attracted you, are you?"
"Ah, almost, almost!"
"Wind Release—"
"Of course, that's not entirely true."
Naruto pressed Temari's fan down again: "Don't get so excited."
As expected, it's the most fun to tease girls with Temari's personality.
Although they all share a rough and strong personality, strictly speaking, Temari is completely different from Karin, Sakura, and others.
This girl's personality stems from her independence, her sense of responsibility and self-confidence, and her maturity from taking on the responsibilities of an older sister since childhood.
In modern terms, she's a strong, independent woman.
It's the kind of sophisticated look that ordinary women, even when wearing black stockings and working women's clothes, can't easily imitate: a powerful and elegant aura!
She's a true mature and sophisticated woman!
To the outside world, they are shrewd, capable, strong, and independent.
She is a good wife and mother, gentle and capable of managing the household.
When shy, they can also exhibit a shyness that is completely different from their usual assertiveness.
In terms of looks, Temari isn't exactly stunning.
But in terms of temperament, even Tsunade and Mei Terumi, who are both recognized as mature and elegant women, are probably a notch below Temari in terms of inner qualities.
The quality of a vehicle is never determined solely by its appearance!
Naruto... likes mature women.
