As time passed, the residual body temperature on Chiyo's body began to slowly decrease, and the heartbeat from Gaara's body became more and more deafening. Temari and Kankuro brought a group of Sunagakure Ninjas who were close to Gaara, and the four members of Kai Squad also came here to meet with Kakashi Squad.
Facing Chiyo, who was willing to give up her life to save Gaara's life, everyone couldn't help but feel sad. It was precisely because of this mood that everyone fell into a silent atmosphere.
Temari looked at her brother who was unconscious on the ground and couldn't speak for a while. She could only stare at Gaara's face silently. Just as Temari looked at her brother's face intently, she suddenly found that Gaara's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Seems like Gaara is about to wake up?
Gaara's eyes kept trembling slightly, as if he was trying his best to open his eyes. Finally, the closed eyes opened. The eyes that had always hidden a kind of madness in everyone's impression were exceptionally clear at this moment.
"You've finally woken up. Big sister was really worried sick about you …"
Seeing her little brother open his eyes, Tempura also displayed the attitude she should have as an elder sister. Although Kankuro, who was standing on the side, didn't speak, the deep strangeness in his eyes was so obvious.
Since meeting Naruto, Gaara also slowly began to try to accept his sister and brother and let them slowly get close to his heart. But after this near-death experience, Gaara suddenly felt that the gap between him and his sister and brother had become less.
Looking around, there were some familiar faces. There were his own direct Anbu, some of his own think tanks in dealing with government affairs, and even Kakashi and Nangong Zhe who stood a little bit away, but the most eye-catching was Naruto, who was half-kneeling on the ground with Chiyo in his arms.
"Naruto …?"
Hearing Gaara's call, Naruto also turned his eyes to Gaara, and the strong sadness in his eyes was so obvious. Sadness? Why would he be sad? He had been rescued by them from the Akatsuki, even though the Ichibi in his body no longer exists.
The Ichibi … no longer exists?
Gaara suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. As a Jinchuriki, his life was dependent on the tailed beast in his body. His tailed beast was taken away, but he didn't die. Instead, he was alive and well. This was the most important problem. What means can reverse life and death, and what price will it take to reverse life and death?
Gaara was very smart. Naturally, he understood what happened from Naruto's attitude and the state of Ebizo standing silently beside Naruto. Did Grandma Chiyo save him?
In Gaara's impression, Chiyo was not so amiable. She was even a little overbearing. But such a senior in Sunagakure was willing to give up her life to save a young Kazekage? Involuntarily, Gaara felt a huge weight on his shoulders.
"No matter what, let's return to the village first before making a fuss …"
Looking at his brother and sister standing beside him, Gaara's superior aura as a Kazekage immediately emerged from his body. Although he still looked weak when he spoke, Gaara, who stood up tremblingly, was like a stabilizing needle at the moment, calming everyone's heart.
With the help of Temari, Gaara slowly walked to Kakashi and Nangong Zhe.
"Many thanks to the two strong men from Konoha who are willing to take the risk to rescue me, Sunagakure is grateful!"
As a Kazekage, being able to say 'grateful' to Nangong Zhe and Kakashi, who belong to other Shinobi Villages, is already very surprising. Nangong Zhe and Kakashi can be regarded as old foxes after all. Nangong Zhe responded to Gaara's politeness.
"Kazekage-sama is too polite. Our Wood leaf village is an ally of Sunagakure. It's normal for us to support each other. It's just like a pair of brothers helping each other. So there's no need to say 'grateful'."
Although Nangong Zhe doesn't regard Wood leaf village as his spiritual sustenance, he still belongs to Wood leaf in name after all, and the loyal followers of Wood leaf, Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi are standing beside him. Nangong Zhe naturally can't avoid such a scene.
"You guys have worked hard to rescue me. Why don't you go to Sunagakure with us to have a good rest?"
Gaara's eyes have been staring at Naruto, seemingly hoping that Naruto can speak for him, but Naruto seems to be thinking about other things at the moment and didn't notice Gaara's eyes at all. Looking at Gaara's eager eyes, Kakashi took a few steps forward and said to Gaara, "Don't worry.
"Thank you for your concern, Kazekage-sama, but we still need to return to Wood leaf village to report. Although we also want to go to Sunagakure to communicate with you, we can't."
Kakashi's words were obviously an excuse, but after all, Gaara couldn't ignore the Kazekage's reservedness and shamelessly asked Naruto and the others to stay in Sunagakure. So, he said to Kakashi with a regretful look, "Kakashi, I'm sorry, but I'm sorry.
"Hatake Jonin is right. I was too abrupt. Since you need to return to the village to report the mission, then I won't force you to stay. I also hope that you can bring my most sincere gratitude and sincere friendship to Wood leaf's Fourth Hokage. Sunagakure and Wood leaf village will be the closest allies. "
With that, Gaara even slightly bowed to Kakashi and Nangong Zhe.
"We don't dare, we will naturally convey your goodwill to Hokage-sama."
Gaara nodded and gave a look to the Ninjas of his Ninja Village. The Sand Ninjas also understood and disappeared in a few flashes.
