The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 172 Gaara's Past

"After the hospital is established, we will do our best to cooperate with Orochimaru's research and strive to make the technology for limb regeneration mature as soon as possible."

"Accumulate manpower, resources, and technology. Once we have accumulated enough, we will begin our plan to take over Konoha."

"We'll proceed with the second phase of our plan after we seize power in Konoha."

Qianyao didn't go into too much detail; many things were still in the initial stages.

It will take time to roll out.

In the future, these elders will gradually learn about Qianyao's various plans.

"Furthermore, after Fugaku steps down, he will become the fourth elder."

"We can't let him be idle."

"The Second Elder, Yanhe, is in charge of liaising with Konoha regarding medical supplies."

"Third Elder Hiroki, now that Konoha updates its missions, we Uchiha can go and choose first."

“Select some well-paying and rewarding tasks and assign them to the elite members of the clan so they can hone their skills.”

Qianyao methodically gave instructions on some recent matters.

In the eyes of the elders, Qianyao was very mature and arranged everything very well, not at all like a teenager.

Everyone felt that it was a good thing to have someone with both great strength and wisdom succeed as clan leader.

The future of the Uchiha clan is sure to be bright.

While Chiyo was talking, Kabuto brought Gaara over.

When Chiyo learned that Gaara was coming, he stopped talking at the right time.

"That's all for today. We can't finish talking in one day. We'll address any problems that arise later."

"I need to take care of some other things first. You guys can discuss the details of what I just mentioned."

True leaders decide on the big picture, leaving the details to their subordinates.

After all, strength is fundamental in this world, and what he has to rely on for survival is the most important thing.

……

Chiyo went into the room next door, where Gaara and Kabuto were already waiting for him.

"Lord Qian Yao."

Kabuto bowed to Chiyo and then left.

Chiyo approached Gaara and asked, "Will Shukaku stop bothering you?"

Gaara looked up at Chiyo: "Did you do this?"

Qianyao nodded. Kushina's seal was also sealed by him.

"Now Shukaku is completely isolated from you. You can sleep whenever you want. He won't go berserk."

Gaara looked up and hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't say thank you.

However, now that he was no longer bothered by Shukaku's madness, he felt quite grateful to Qianyao.

Chiyo didn't care about Gaara's reaction.

After all, this was someone who was almost driven crazy by his father.

He asked in a low voice, "Do you know what a Tailed Beast is? What a Jinchūriki is?"

Gaara shook his head blankly: "The Tailed Beast is Shukaku?"

Qianyao shook his head and explained to Gaara what the nine tailed beasts and Jinchuriki were.

"Because the seal of your Sunagakure is too weak, you will always hear Shukaku's voice and often go berserk."

Gaara, upon hearing this knowledge that was completely different from what he knew, exclaimed in surprise:

"Yashamaru said that I was born possessed by Shukaku of the Sand, but I couldn't control Shukaku's power, which is why I went berserk."

Qian Yao sneered:

"What do you mean by being possessed by Shukaku of the Sand? You were specially created by Rasa to be a Jinchūriki."

"Your mother, Galuro, had a difficult childbirth because you were born with artificial intervention."

"It's clearly a problem with the seal, but you insist on blaming it on me. Now that I've changed the seal, you've been asleep for eight whole days, and Shukaku still hasn't come out."

"Yashamaru was given orders, so naturally he had to say some things to deceive you."

Gaara's face was filled with disbelief: "What did Yashamaru tell me?"

Qianyao remembered this scene vividly, and after a moment's thought, he said, "He said he could refuse the order to assassinate you."

"That's just to fool you; he simply can't refuse Rosa's orders."

“Rasa was prepared to kill you back then, but Yashamaru carried it out to provoke you and see if you could control Shukaku.”

Gaara shook his head in disbelief and said, "But Yashamaru said he hates me."

Qianyao truly felt that Luosha was a bastard. Gaara had only a glimmer of light left in his heart, yet he was the one who extinguished it.

"Even Yashamaru can't disobey Rasa's orders, so what he said was naturally something Rasa told him to say to provoke you."

"Don't believe everything others say; try to feel their sincerity."

Qianyao patiently guided him:

"Think about how you usually interact with Yashamaru. Do you think Yashamaru would hate you, since he takes care of your daily life and teaches you how to be a good person?"

When Chiyo said this, Gaara's thoughts were drawn back to what Yashamaru had told him:

"There is something that can heal psychological trauma."

"Love."

"True love is about sacrificing for the most important people in your life."

“Protect his thoughts with compassion.”

"Just like my older sister, I feel that my older sister has always loved Young Master Luo very much."

Gaara's eyes quickly welled up with tears as he reminisced.

"Does Yashamaru love me?"

Qianyao sighed, "Yashamaru is not the only one who loves you; there is also his sister, who is your mother."

"Your mother was artificially manipulated to create a vessel for Shukaku. She could have lived if she hadn't given birth to you."

"But she chose to give birth to you even though it was a difficult labor. It's because she loves you."

Gaara clutched his head, shaking it repeatedly, making the "love" symbol on his forehead even more crimson and glaring.

"No! I will never trust anyone again!"

"No one loves me, I've always been alone!"

When Chiyo saw Gaara's roaring appearance, he simply shook his head slightly.

Gaara's psychological trauma must be too great.

He let Gaara scream and roar wildly, and only after Gaara calmed down a bit did he speak:

"Whether you believe it or not, the fact is that Shukaku can no longer control you."

"You can sleep wherever you want now, and you can't hurt anyone."

After Gaara regained his senses, he tried his best to control the sand, but no sand obeyed his commands.

"Can I really sleep now?"

Gaara looked at Chiyo with hopeful eyes.

People who don't get enough sleep simply can't understand how much pain Gaara was in.

Irritability, anger, breakdowns, and cruelty are all caused by the nerves not getting enough rest.

The circles around Gaara's eyes weren't eye makeup, but dark circles.

Whenever he goes to sleep, Shukaku will come out for a stroll like an old man.

A lot of people will die outside.

Then Gaara will be attacked again.

But now that the seal has been changed to the Four Symbols Seal, Gaara can no longer even hear Shukaku's usual roar.

He was still very grateful to Qianyao.

Qianyao nodded in confirmation, "Don't worry, you can sleep anywhere from now on."

"There are many others who are suffering just like you."

“Our village also has a Jinchūriki who can seal a Tailed Beast, but he is the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki.”
