“A boy from the Land of Sand gave words to a junior high school student who thought no one needed him.”
(Auto-translated from Japanese)
My Story
When I was in eighth grade, there was a period of time when things were not going well in my class. It wasn't anything serious, but I kept feeling like I didn't belong. Around that time, I was watching the Sunagakure version of Naruto Shippuden. When Gaara's past was revealed and I learned the reason why he carved the character "love" into himself, I cried for some reason. The story of how she loves only herself even if no one else loves her stuck with me too much at the time. I think it was the first time I cried like that after watching an anime. I am a college student now, and so much time has passed that I miss that difficult time in junior high school. But my love for Gaoira has not changed. Whenever I see Gaoira as Kazekage, I remember that night.
Stories I'd love to see
I want to see a story from Sunagakure's point of view. I want a story in which Sunagakure plays an independent leading role as an entity alongside Kinoha. I want to know more about what Gaoira is trying to decide and protect as the Kazekage.
