The next morning, Sunagakure.
Inside the dark prison cell, a little boy sat in the shadow with his hands wrapped around his knees and his face buried between his legs.
This child was obviously Gaara, the youngest son of Yondaime Kazekage, Jinchuriki of Ichibi.
After a failed maternal uncle assassination attempt and poisonous words from him, Gaara falls into darkness and vows to live only for himself, to love only himself.
It didn't matter if he was hated by the world for being a monster…
If they thought he was a monster then he would be the worst monster they had ever imagined.
When two envoys from Konoha came to Sunagakure, Gaara had seen them from afar. From the way they were treated, it seemed like the two of them were quite important. And when Gaara wanted to destroy Sunagakure he thought of starting by killing two important Konoha Shinobi, in this way even if he failed to destroy his own village, Konoha would obviously not forgive Suna.
But unfortunately, his grand plan came to a halt before it even began. His impenetrable sand armor was easily penetrated by one of them while the other suppressed it using mere Genjutsu.
What happened today left Gaara feeling helpless and hopeless, with Gaara's crushing defeat even losing the qualifications to become the monster he feared.
At the same time, he fell into confusion.He could not think anything, he did not understand why he was born? What is the purpose of its existence? If he doesn't have the qualifications to be loved and also doesn't have the qualifications to be hated, then why did he exist from the start?
Does it really matter whether he lives or dies???
Gaara could think of nothing, nothing else mattered to him. life, death, love, hate.
If Gaara was in such a mess then why didn't Ichibi take over?
Two reasons:
First, because the current Gaara chakra is sealed, and until the seal is removed, nothing can be done, not even Bijuu chakra can be accessed.
The second reason, Ichibi is obviously scared of the Mangekyou Sharingan from a shinobi named Uchiha Shisui, who is a, so he did not dare to take over the body of the boy and quietly sat inside while also paying attention to the mind of the boy who seemed to be in deep thought contemplating the purpose of his existence.
At this time, the cell gate opened and Yondaime Kazekage entered.
No one followed him, he wanted some alone time with the boy.
Gaara heard the opening sound of the cell but he did not bother to raise his head to see who was coming, it did not matter to him.
Kazekage looked at Gaara, who was curled up in a dark corner, as if the boy had already fused with the darkness, becoming part of the void.
Kazekage had an overflow of various emotions on his face, for a moment there was a cold face, filled with killing intent to execute Gaara here and now, then in the next moment, there was a trace of hesitation.
Yondaime's responsibilities as Kazekage run counter to her identity as Gara's father.
Gaara's loss of control over his emotions greatly disappointed him, and the disappointment was only worse when he was casually suppressed by Uchiha Shisui alone.
As Kazekage, Yondaime knew that Suna was no longer able to bear Gaara's existence. Every time Gaara went berserk it brought great loss to Suna. The only reason he used to keep Gaara alive was his value as a weapon.
'It's time to finish this all!' – Yondaime pressured his parents for his duties as Kazekage, for the sake of his village Gaara can no longer be left alive.
With an expression that turned into indifference, Yondaime asked Gaara, "Are there any last words you have?"
But Gaara fell silent, he did not even bother to raise his head, nor did he care, or perhaps he was not even aware of Kazekage's existence as his mind was shrouded in voidness.
Kazekage waited, but not receiving an answer from Gaara, he turned around and left.
About half an hour later, Anbu's team came to the prison cell and took Gaara out. The indifferent child did not cause any resistance, nor did he have the strength to resist.
Drawn along the way, Anbu's team took Gaara out of the village and tied him to a wooden pole in the middle of the desert.
In the distant Sand Hills, Kazekage, Chiyo, Ebizo, Pakura as well as several other Suna Council elders stood up, looking at the child tied to the wooden pole.
This part of the desert was where Suna was executed, and Gaara was brought here to be executed of course.
If it was a few days ago, even if Gaara failed the exam, Kazekage might not have been so eager to execute Gaara, but with him agreed to participate in the "Joint Chunin Test" Suna will declare open hostility towards the Akatsuki Organization, and who knows how many problems will follow later. Under such circumstances Suna could not keep Gaara who could easily lose control of him alive, the danger from Uchiha Shinichi was too great. Moreover, with one of Jonin being a traitor, no one knew what might happen. So Gaara had to be executed.
At this moment, Kazekage spoke loudly for Gaara to hear, "Gaara, for the act of killing the shinobi and the villagers, you should be executed, is there a final wish you had before our death?"
"..." - No response.
Kazekage waited exactly two minutes and received no reply from Gaara, he gestured to the vice-captain of Anbu, "Execute him!"
The vice-captain of Anbu nodded and gestured to the Anbu team waiting for the call.
The Sunagakure method of executing people is very simple.
His method involved tying the man to a wooden pole and then showering hundreds of Shuriken on him.
Anbu after receiving the signal immediately fired hundreds of Shuriken into Gaara.
Gaara who was standing alone in the middle of the desert did not even flinch when he noticed the Shuriken rain coming and there was even a hint of relief on his face, 'Maybe death is the only meaning left to me.'
But the sealed Bijuu within him was not of the same mind, he did not want to die… even if the nine Bijuu are a collection of Chakras and will eventually come back to life but this does not mean that they are willing to accept death.
Whoosh…
Feeling threatened by his life, Ichibi roared, cursed, threatened, and fought hard, but ultimately to no avail. He could not control Gaara's body.
Wusss.. is covered in blood.. Wusss.. tuk... tuk..... prick...... skewer…
First the heart. then in the hands.. legs... chest... in the left eye, then the right eye, then the left thigh, the right thigh... one by one Shuriken penetrated the child, cutting the flesh, splashing blood… over and over and over again and over and over and over again and again and not leaving any part of his body intact.
But there was no trace of the struggle.Just the relief when his breath stopped, all the signs of life disappeared…
"It's over.." - muttered Kazekage.
But it was still far from over. As soon as Gaara died, strong winds began blowing throughout the desert... the storm soon turned into a sandstorm.so big and so big that it seemed that no one would survive in it, yet it did not cause any damage.
"What's going on...? Is he not dead?" – one of the elders asked while trying to keep his balance amidst the raging storm winds.
Pakura who was nearby sensed and then said, "No, he's dead... Look around, the Sandstorm did not cause any damage..."
Chiyo said, "Could it be the result of Ichibi's death? Bijuu is a force of nature, and there may be some effect on their death... So, maybe the desert is mourning Ichibi's death."
Following Chiyo's words, everyone thought about it and it seemed to make sense…
After some time passed, the sandstorm subsided and the environment went quiet again.
Kazekage instructed Anbu, "Verify whether he dies or not."
Captain Anbu nodded and advanced forward with the Anbu team following behind him.
Pakura came forward and confirmed, Gaara who was still tied to the wooden pole was indeed dead.
After verifying this, he returned and nodded, "He is indeed dead ..."
Kazekage sighed and spoke with complex emotions, "Burn his body .. don't leave his ashes ..."
Pakura nodded and gestured for Anbu shinobi to do so.
With a step aside, Kazekage and a few others turned around and left.
No one noticed the cold grin that Pakura currently had, 'Manipulating the Suna elders to execute Gaara?! Hope you know what you are doing Kuroto-sama!'
