Although Tsunade quickly cured Rasa, under Nagazawa's advice, Rasa concealed the information about her recovery and continued to publicize that she was still seriously injured, but had some improvement.

Nagaze wanted to see if he could fish out the attacker through this method.

If the attacker wanted to kill Kazekage, then he probably wouldn't miss this good opportunity to get Kazekage injured.

If the attacker is not fooled, it will be difficult to guess the attacker's purpose.

Was it because Luo Sha didn't look very good-looking, so he was beaten? Or for some other reason, these are unknown.

However, what is certain at present is that the attacker is no longer in Sand Hidden Village or even in the Country of Wind.

During the investigation, Kakashi used psychic skills to summon ninja dogs. He first used the ninja dogs to find the location of the opponent, and finally confirmed that the opponent may no longer be in the Kingdom of Wind.

But fortunately, their main purpose was not to investigate the murderer, but to cure Feng Ying, and Feng Ying had been cured, so their mission was completed.

Nagaze planned to stay in Fengyin Village for two weeks. If there were no major clues that could identify the murderer within two weeks, then they would treat the mission as completed and return to Konoha.

Just let Obito and Jiraiya, who are wandering around the ninja world, pay attention.

Nagaze, pretending to be an ordinary chuunin, was wandering around Sunagakure Village when he suddenly noticed a few children playing football in front of him.

Yongze didn't pay attention. He didn't want to disturb the children's happy play and prepared to go around. As long as he wasn't a naughty child, Yongze was still very loving.

As for the naughty child, Yongze just wants to say that he is still a child, so don’t let him go.

"Hey." Yongze suddenly discovered an unexpected existence.

A child with short red hair, a gray-green suit, and thick dark circles on his face was sitting alone on the swing with his head lowered, as if he was a child who had been punished for doing something wrong.

He was sitting alone on the swing, swaying slightly, holding a small brown bear in his arms, looking very lonely.

The distance between the children playing football and the children sitting on the swings is not far, but they seem to be two worlds, one is so lively and cheerful, and the other is so lonely.

Obviously the distance between them is not more than fifteen meters.

Looking at the eyes and short red hair that were comparable to those of a giant panda, Nagazawa recognized at a glance that this was Gaara when he was a child.

From Nagazawa's point of view, Gaara looked quite cute when he was a child, with his fair face and dark circles under his eyes, which was quite cute.

I don't know if it was because of his encounter, but Nagazawa felt that Gaara looked a bit ferocious during the Chunin Exams, but he became handsome again when he became the Kazekage.

"Ah, ball." Suddenly, the group of children playing football exclaimed. Nagaze took a look and saw that the ball was lifted to the roof.

Just when Yongze was about to do something good, he suddenly stopped because another person took action.

Gaara stretched out his hand, and a line of sand instantly formed around him. Gaara controlled the sand to take the ball off the roof, put it in his hand, and then looked expectantly at the group of children playing football.

.

'Uncle said that everyone likes good people and good children. As long as I help them pick up the ball, they will take me to play with them.' Gaara thought excitedly.

Gaara is very lonely because no one plays with him, even his brothers and sisters are very cold towards him.

Therefore, Gaara longs for friendship. He also wants to be like those children playing football, having so many friends to play with and have fun together.

But having so many friends at once is a bit greedy.

As long as there is one, as long as there is one friend, as long as there is someone willing to play with him, it will be fine.

Gaara stood up, holding the ball in his arms, reaching out his hand expectantly, and walked towards the children playing football.

"Ball." Gaara's light green eyes were shining brightly in the sun. He was looking forward to it. As he walked forward, he reached out and wanted to hand the ball to the children who were playing football.

But what greeted Gaara was not the surprised looks and thank yous from everyone. The children playing football looked at Gaara with horrified eyes, as if they were looking at a monster that exuded a terrifying aura and was covered in red hair.

There was no friendship as expected, and no thanks. Gaara was greeted only by frightened eyes and the sounds of monsters.

"Monster!"

"Everyone, run quickly, it turns out that the legend of the monster with black eyes is true."

It was obvious that Gaara, who had thick dark circles around his eyes and could control sand, was regarded by them as a monster from some urban legend.

The children who were playing football rushed to run behind them, as if there were murderous monsters behind them.

"Ball..." Gaara watched the children playing football fleeing from here as if they were fleeing, and his voice became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

Those frightened eyes pierced Gaara's heart like sharp swords one after another, and it hurt him so much.

He didn't understand why this happened. He obviously did what his uncle said. He helped them get the ball and returned it to them. He should be a good boy.

But, why, why is everyone unwilling to play with him and call him a monster...

Obviously everyone looks the same, but he doesn't have an extra leg, so why is he a monster?

He doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, he can't figure out what's going on.

He just wants a friend who is willing to play with him. Why is this?

The ball fell to the ground, and the little bear he was holding also fell to the ground. Gaara stretched out his hand feebly, and said in an almost pleading tone: "Don't go..."

But how could the children dare to stay in front of the "monster" for too long? As Gaara said this, the children ran faster.

I don't know if it was because I sensed the master's thoughts, or if it was because I was too sad that the power in my body went out of control.

The sand that Gaara had previously controlled to pick up the ball suddenly rushed towards the children, very fast, like an arrow shot from a bow with its string fully drawn.

Seeing that the sand bundle was about to hurt the child, Nagaze took action and scattered the sand bundle with a casual slap, relieving the crisis.

After resolving the danger, Nagaze then said with a sunny smile: "He is not a monster, this is a natural talent."

Perhaps it was Nagazawa's handsome appearance and sunny smile that infected the children. The children stopped running away and hid behind Nagazawa.

A boy who was a little more courageous said boldly: "He can control sand. He is different from us no matter how you think about it. Moreover, the eyes are black, exactly like the legendary monster."

Hearing someone call him a monster again, Gaara, who was originally happy because of Nagazawa's words, once again showed a disappointed expression on his face.

Boom! Nagaze quickly tapped the boy who was talking with his finger.

"It hurts! Big brother, why did you hit me suddenly?" the boy asked, covering the place where Yongze had just hit him.

"What would you do if someone called you a fool?" Nagaze asked the boy.

"Of course I scolded or hit him back, that goes without saying." The boy replied with an annoyed look on his face.

"Then I just spanked the child who was called a monster." Nagaze said with a smile.

"This...this is different." The boy was a little anxious, but he couldn't tell what was different for a while.

"What's different? Does he have more hands than you? Or does he have an extra head?" Nagaze continued to ask.

"He can control sand, and there is a black circle next to his eyes." The boy looked at Gaara and said as if he was looking for something different.

"So controlling sand is a talent. I can also breathe fire and summon water dragons. Am I also a monster?" Nagaze showed off a second-generation water dragon bomb on the spot. The huge water dragon appeared and shocked the children.

, and then came another fire escape.

"As for dark circles, just try not sleeping and you will get them."

"Brother, this is a ninja's ninjutsu." The boy seemed to know a little bit about it.

"If you control fire and water, you are a ninja. If you control sand, you are a monster. What's the truth? Your Kazekage can also control gold sand. So what is he? A unique monster?" Nagaze asked with a smile.

"Of course Kazekage is not a monster." The boy retorted, and then he thought hard for a while and felt that he had found the reason and said: "Of course it is because he and we are so young, but he has the ability to control sand. This is not normal, so it is

monster."

Boom! The boy got hit again.

"It will take me several times to remember that this is talent. There is a kind of person who is born with a talent and has abilities that ordinary people don't have."

After speaking, Nagazawa pulled Gaara over, then squeezed the hands of Gaara and the boy, and controlled them to touch each other's faces.

Looking at Gaara's somewhat confused and disappointed eyes, and feeling the human touch in his hands, this courageous boy was also at a loss for a moment.

"Look, it's not all the same. He's here, and I haven't seen him eat you," Yongze said.

"Gaara, what do you usually like to eat?" Nagaze asked.

"Powder liver, takoyaki ramen..." Gaara replied subconsciously. He had a good impression of this strange ninja because Nagazawa always spoke for him.

Looking at the dumbfounded Gaara, the child next to him realized that this guy who seemed to be a legendary monster didn't seem scary at all, and he was still stupid.

"Where did there come from so many monsters? If there were monsters, wouldn't they have been eliminated by your Kazekage long ago?" Nagaze said.

After Yongze said this, they thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was indeed the case.

Gaara silently controlled Sunako to pick up the bear and the ball, then held the ball and handed it to the child next to him.

"ball."

But when Gaara showed his ability to control sand, the children subconsciously took a few steps back. This was the fear of the unknown.

Looking at the children who were retreating, the light in Gaara's eyes became increasingly dim, but he still maintained his posture of passing the ball.

Finally, the boy who had been talking to Nagaze gritted his teeth, walked forward, walked in front of Gaara, took the ball, and then bowed loudly and said: "Thank you, I'm sorry."

The other children looked at each other in confusion. Seeing that the boy was okay, they finally let down their guard and walked up to stand with the boy.

"I'm sorry for making you scream so unpleasantly."

"Thank you for helping us get the ball off. It was a big help."

The children should apologize and thank each other, and the picture is very harmonious.

Yongze also laughed when he saw this scene.

Children at this age don't understand anything and can't distinguish right from wrong, but they are not deliberately causing harm, but are really afraid of Gaara. After all, there are indeed rumors circulating in Sunagakure Village that Gaara is a monster.

So Nagazawa chose to guide and let them know that Gaara was a child similar to them, but with a little special ability.

Either way, it's Luo Sha's fault for allowing such rumors to spread wildly in the village, and maybe even adding fuel to the fire.

The sudden apology and thanks made Gaara a little overwhelmed. He hugged the little bear tightly, which felt a bit unreal.

Why are everyone suddenly not afraid of him anymore and even saying thank you to him?

Is it the big brother's help?

Gaara glanced at Nagazawa gratefully, then after thinking for a while, he mustered up the courage to say: "No...it's okay, but can I play with you?"

The atmosphere fell into silence again for a while, and no one spoke.

Gaara looked at the silent crowd, and the expression on his face turned towards disappointment again.

'Sure enough, they still regard me as a monster in their hearts and don't want to play with me.'

"It's okay if you don't want to, I...I seem to be hungry, I'd better go home..." Gaara forced a smile.

"Yes!" The bolder boy suddenly interrupted Gaara and said, "Yes, but you can't use your ability to control sand."

When Gaara heard someone agree, he instantly smiled in surprise.

"Is it really possible?" he asked in disbelief.

"Well, okay, my name is Kento, what's your name?" Kento asked.

"I, my name is Gaara." Gaara was very excited, this was something that had never happened before.

"I suddenly remembered that my mother told me to go home before three o'clock in the afternoon. Sorry, that's it for today." Suddenly a child said.

Then, as if a chain reaction started, everyone except Kento suddenly had to go home due to something else.

"You..." Kento didn't expect that his friends would go home suddenly. This was obviously an excuse.

"You guys have fun, let's go home first." The children and Kendou waved their hands and left.

After all, there was still something amiss with Gaara. Someone had not forgotten what had just happened. If Nagazawa hadn't suddenly appeared, someone would have been injured.

It's okay to ask them to say thank you or apologize, but to play together? Forget it.

Seeing the children leaving one by one except Kento, Gaara lowered his head and said softly: "I'm sorry..."

He knew that it was all his fault that caused everyone to leave.

Kento patted Gaara on the shoulder and smiled: "What does this have to do with you? Don't they all have their own things? Since there are only two people left, there is nothing we can do. Let's get together next time if we have a chance.

Let’s play.”

After saying that, Kento took the ball and left, leaving Gaara standing alone.

"Next time... when is the next time?" Gaara looked up at the sky.

"It won't be too far. You will soon find someone who is willing to make friends with you sincerely." Nagazawa walked up to Gaara and said.

We still have to rely on Naruto's social awkwardness to cure it.
