Chapter 338 - Chapter 338: The Truth

The Fourth Kazekage looked coldly at the Yashamaru in front of him and said, "I want you to go kill Gaara."

When Gaara heard this sentence, his expression immediately changed. Why was it the father who gave the order for the uncle to come kill him? Wasn't it the uncle who hated him because he caused the death of his mother?

Yashamaru's expression also changed. "Why? Isn't he your child?"

The Fourth Kazekage still had that cold face. "He is my son, and even more, he is a Tailed Beast jinchuriki."

"I need to verify whether he is a qualified jinchuriki. Whether he can suppress his own emotions and successfully control the Tailed Beast."

"Not only must you assassinate him, but also tell him you do not love him. Instead, you hate him, and that his mother also did not love him."

"Only if he can still control the Tailed Beast's power when facing this kind of situation can he be considered a qualified jinchuriki."

Yashamaru's face froze, eyes full of disbelief. "This is too cruel."

The Fourth Kazekage still had a cold expression. "If we are not cruel to him, then the ones who will suffer cruelty are the civilians of Sunagakure."

"You should know how terrifying the Tailed Beast is when it goes on a rampage."

Yashamaru looked at the cold-hearted Fourth Kazekage, realizing that his mind was already made up. This task could not be avoided. Even if he didn't do it, someone else would.

"Okay."

He walked out of the room with a heavy expression.

The scene also ended here.

Gaara's vision went black, and then he slowly returned to reality. But at this moment, his legs buckled down, as if his heart had collapsed.

The hatred in his heart toward his uncle faded like the tide. Though he was awake, his face still showed deep sadness, and tears welled up in his eyes.

'How could things turn out like this?'

Was it really because of his father's order that his uncle tried to kill him? Were all the words his uncle said before lies?

And he had driven his own uncle to death. A person like himself might as well be dead.

At this moment, the One-Tail inside him sensed that the spirit of its sealing container had never been so weak.

'This brat's spirit has weakened. Perfect chance to go for a stroll.'

Then its chakra suddenly erupted, pushing against the seal. A portion of the Tailed Beast chakra leaked out. Even Gaara's eyes started to turn into yellow star-shaped patterns.

Ryosuke saw Gaara's transformation. He suddenly stared at those eyes.

"Get the hell back."

The Rinnegan released a terrifying wave of eye power. The One-Tail inside the seal felt tremendous pressure and saw those massive Rinnegan eyes. Those eyes suppressed it, making it unable to unleash its power.

Its heart was full of disbelief. 'How could this be? Weren't those the old man's eyes? Could it be that the Sage of Six Paths is still alive?'

It wanted to ask, but didn't dare come out again. It felt the presence of destruction, unimaginably strong.

Clearly, it was not the old man.

As the Tailed Beast chakra receded, Gaara's eyes also returned to normal.

But he remained kneeling on the ground, unmoving, filled with sorrow and collapse, his eyes lifeless, tears falling uncontrollably.

He had killed his own uncle, and even his father wanted to kill him. There was truly no hope in living anymore.

———

Meanwhile, in the Kazekage's office, the Fourth Kazekage's face suddenly changed because he felt a strong wave of Tailed Beast chakra.

This feeling was all too familiar, was it that failure again, the One-Tail jinchuriki Gaara acting up?

'What a troublesome person.'

He immediately stood up and walked out of the door.

He absolutely could not allow him to rampage inside the village. The consequences would be unimaginable. And in the village, only he could suppress him.

Temari, who had been sitting across from him, noticed her father's change in expression and quickly asked,

"Father, what happened?"

"Gaara is acting up again."

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa gave a simple reply and rushed out the door, quickly heading toward the sensing location.

A worried expression appeared on Temari's face. That terrifying little brother of hers was acting up again?

She immediately stood up and followed. 'Hopefully nothing serious happens.'

With her father present, things shouldn't go too badly. Previously, it was always her father who settled Gaara's rampages.

Before long, Rasa arrived at the scene and saw Gaara kneeling on the ground, and that white-masked man in black clothing, his expression immediately changed.

There were rumors in the ninja world about Uchiha Madara plundering Tailed Beasts. He didn't expect that man to actually come to Sunagakure. And that guy even passed through all layers of defense, silently appearing here.

Such a person was not someone he could handle alone. A signal flare appeared in his hand, ready to be launched into the sky.

Ryosuke saw Rasa's action and immediately activated Rinnegan illusion. A terrifying wave of eye power surged toward Rasa.

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa suddenly found his body immobile. His heart was filled with shock.

Why couldn't he move? So terrifying, was this a genjutsu? When did it happen?

Clearly, he had only looked at those eyes for a moment. How could those eyes be so similar to the Rinnegan recorded in legends?

On the ground, Gaara noticed his father and slowly stood up, heart aching.

He painfully asked, "Father, why did you send Yashamaru to kill me?"

The Fourth Kazekage looked at Gaara. "You actually found out? Then why bother asking me?"

"All of this is your fault. If you could control Shukaku, Yashamaru wouldn't have died. All of this is because you are a failed experiment."

Gaara stood there dumbfounded. He had personally injured his uncle severely, his body began to tremble.

He had actually killed the only person in Sunagakure who truly treated him well.

Ryosuke saw the Fourth Kazekage say such things and couldn't bear to watch anymore.

"Fourth Kazekage, weren't you also present at the time? Not only did you not save Yashamaru, you were even the one who ordered Yashamaru to self-destruct."
