Became the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Chapter 307 I Was Also a Child Once

Through the bright moonlight, Gaara quickly discovered the sneaky figure outside the room.

The man was wearing a Sand Village forehead protector and dressed like an Anbu ninja, with only half of his face exposed, making it difficult to discern his true identity.

Even so, Gaara still recognized the identity of the person who came. The other party was none other than his uncle Yashamaru, who was also one of the few ninjas in the village who took care of Gaara.

Gaara would have been very happy if he had recognized Yashamaru's identity a few hours ago.

Yashamaru is different from other people in the village. He tells him ninja stories and encourages him to fight Shukaku and take his destiny into his own hands.

But just now, two mysterious men broke into the room.

While suppressing him with absolute strength, he was also told a piece of hard-to-accept news: tonight, a ninja who was very close to him would assassinate him.

If this news is true, then the ninja who assassinated tonight is Yashamaru?
Thinking of this, Gaara became anxious. He couldn't confirm the authenticity of the news, nor did he know whether Yashamaru was the ninja who came to assassinate him.

With an uneasy mood, Gaara opened the door and looked at Yashamaru.

Yashamaru glanced at Gaara's room, found a random place to sit down, sighed, and said: "Gaara, today is the last time I come to see you..."

"Why, is Uncle Yashamaru going out on a mission?"

Yashamaru nodded, his eyes lingering on Gaara's neck for a while, and then said:

"It's considered a mission. I'm about to carry out an extremely dangerous plan. Whether the mission fails or succeeds, you will never see me again."

Gaara felt something was wrong and subconsciously took a few steps back. After hitting the wall, he said, "Why did you say that, uncle? You are a jonin in the village. Is there any mission that can be difficult for you?"

Yashamaru pressed on step by step, and after forcing Gaara into a corner, he spoke word by word, "Ordinary missions are naturally not difficult for a jonin like me, but dealing with a Jinchūriki is a different matter."

"The Jinchūriki is much stronger than the average jonin. I'm still not sure about it."

Gaara was startled. He looked into Yashamaru's eyes and said carefully:

"Did father ask you to deal with me? Just because I am not a suitable Jinchūriki? Can't meet his requirements?"

Yashamaru shook his head and said:

"This matter has nothing to do with Luo Sha. I wanted to kill him. Do you know that your birth killed Jialiuluo and killed my most lovely sister?"

"If it weren't for you, Karuura wouldn't have died, Rasa wouldn't have lost his wife, Kankuro and Temari wouldn't have lost their mother. Your actions were a mistake from the beginning."

As he spoke, Yashamaru's tone became more agitated and his eyes became more crazy.

He pulled a kunai out of his pocket and stabbed it straight at Gaara's throat. When it was five centimeters away from Gaara's body, it was blocked by a ball of sand.

Seeing the sand that automatically protected the body, Yashamaru's eyes flashed, and then he formed seals with his hands and performed several advanced wind-style ninjutsu in succession.

The translucent wind blade condensed into shape and quickly shot towards Gaara.

Gaara simply waved his hand, and the sand automatically blocked the wind blade's attack. He stared at Yashamaru and spoke word by word:

"Yashamaru, my birth was not a mistake, and I did not kill my mother."

Yashamaru had a blank expression on his face. He had already prepared himself for death before coming here. As long as he could force out Gaara's potential, he would say anything vicious. Only in this way could Gaara's value be reflected and he could continue to be the One-Tail Jinchūriki.

After two simple rounds of probing, the battle between Gaara and Yashamaru had moved outside the room. One of them was a Sunagakure jonin, and the other was a One-Tail Jinchuriki.

The fight between the two men caused quite a noise, and even the ground was shaking.

Not far away, Bai Ye and Sasori were watching the fight between uncle and nephew. The fight between the Jonin level was still remarkable, but to them, it was just that.

Before transforming into a tailed beast, Gaara was just a child protected by his mother's chakra. He might be able to borrow some of Shukaku's chakra, but he would also lose his sanity.

And Yashamaru's strength is even weaker.

The strength of a Jonin might be considered good in the entire ninja world, but in the Akatsuki organization which is full of strong people, he can only be regarded as a peripheral member who runs errands at best.

Byakuya watched the fight between Yashamaru and Gaara with great interest.

Bai Ye didn't have much intention of interfering in the fight between the two. He just wanted to watch it for fun and see how Scorpion would deal with the relationship between him and Gaara.

If one wants to secure the position of Kazekage, in addition to obtaining permission from the elders, one must also have a firm grasp on the Jinchūriki. After all, the Jinchūriki are the real weapons of mass destruction of the major ninja villages.

Looking at the battle ahead, Scorpion was a little absent-minded at this time.

From Gaara's current expression, he felt the pain and helplessness buried deep in his heart. He was also so desperate when he heard about the death of his parents.

At that time, he still had the goal of avenging his parents, and he quickly regained his spirits.

But what he didn't expect was that when he was about to go to the front line to avenge his parents, the village and Konoha signed a peace agreement.

After enduring for a few years, his enemy, Konoha White Fang, died at home for a ridiculous reason.

This made him lose his purpose in life and he could no longer find a reason to live. He could only focus on the way of puppetry. He eventually killed the Third Kazekage who signed the peace agreement and left the Sand Village.

Now, a child with the same experience as himself appeared in front of him.

This person is also his mission target. In the future, he will have to personally extract the tailed beast and seal the One-Tailed Jinchūriki into the Gaiden Demon Statue.

After countless thoughts flashed through his mind, Scorpion disappeared on the spot.

Fei Liuhu appeared behind Yashamaru at an extremely fast speed, and its hard scorpion tail wrapped around Yashamaru's body and slammed him to the ground.

Scorpion's appearance immediately attracted the attention of Yashamaru and Gaara.

The former had no idea that there was such a powerful ninja hiding nearby, and the latter did not expect Scorpion to take action at this time.

After rolling on the ground for several times, Yashamaru stood up with difficulty and looked at where Scorpion was.

He didn't recognize the disguised Scorpion, but from the appearance of Fei Liuhu, he could guess that there was a puppeteer hiding nearby, and puppeteer is a profession unique to Sand Village.

Could it be that in addition to sending himself, Rasa also sent other puppeteers to deal with Gaara.

Was Luo Sha's promise to me false? I must get rid of Gaara tonight and replace him with a new Jinchūriki?
