Chapter 96 - The Darkness Is Not Only Konoha
Suna Village, on the street.
Along the way, Naruto, who followed behind Baki, glanced around.
As he walked away, Naruto noticed that the direction he was heading was less populated. In the end, the entire street or nearby buildings were gone.
The whole environment is so quiet that even the sound of sand blown by the wind can be heard.
But Naruto, with his simple mind, didn’t think so much.
At this time, he is full of longing for the future.
Konoha is dark enough, but he doesn’t believe that even the outside world is so dark! Isn’t Suna Village good? He was comatose and was rescued by them.
He got a free meal. Able to meet the first new friend outside the village.
Naruto, who has regained his life, feels excited to think about it!
When walking, he felt all light and red
 an impatient look.
Naruto’s attitude and behavior, of course, made Baki realize it. But at this moment, his heart is very complicated. Firstly, he didn’t want the child who had just returned from him in front of him to die in vain. Second, in the future, he hopes to change Gaara through Naruto so that Gaara will no longer be a slaughterer like that.
Struggling for a long time, he chose Gaara in the end.
Although the chances were not great, he still wanted to try.


..
Not much time, Baki took Naruto to a grander building.
This building is the residence of Gaara.
Gaara’s situation can be said to be more serious than Naruto in the original work. None of the people in the village dare to approach him and dare to live near him. As a result, there was no one near Gaara’s residence.
They entered the room.
Naruto’s head stretched out impatiently from the side of Baki’s big legs. He wanted to see what his so-called new partner looked like.
But what was coming was an attack of sand.
This sudden attack surprised Naruto, who was completely unprepared.
However, it was quickly blocked by Baki, and the sand was scattered with one hand.
The shattered sand pushed back to the attacker’s direction, one by one.
Immediately, Naruto heard an icy, childish voice: “Who is he? What are you doing with him?”
They didn’t wait for Baki to answer. Another person in the house asked first: “Baki-sensei, is he the child you rescued yesterday?”
The person who spoke was Temari carrying a big fan.
There is also Kankuro in the room sitting in the corner and does not dare to move around.
Unlike Konoha Village, due to insufficient village funding, they can only take the elite route. There were not many new ninjas every year.
Because of this, most of their teaching methods are taught in advance by Jonin leading the team. As a result, even if Gaara is different from Temari and Kankuro, they are all led by Baki.
Baki nodded: “Well, he was the child I rescued yesterday. Remember, he is different from other people, and he will be your new partner in the future. Gaara, remember to get along well with others, you know?”
The ‘others’ that Baki said were the assassins that Rasa kept sending to assassinate Gaara.
Therefore, Gaara’s first reaction when he saw a stranger was an attack. After all, in his cognition, apart from those familiar, no one would dare to approach himself.
Naruto did not care too much about the attack just now.
In fact, he does not need Baki to block him. He wants to cope with the wave of attacks just now with his current strength, but he is startled.
He recovered. Immediately, he introduced himself energetically: “Hello everyone! My name is
 My name is Naruto. I will be 7 years old this year! Pleased to meet you!”
A warm welcome did not appear at all.
Naruto was stunned. He didn’t expect it would be so difficult to make friends outside.
No one responded.
Temari and Kankuro, with a compassionate look, looked towards Naruto.
Gaara coldly snorted, turning his head, not even looking at Naruto.
The atmosphere is awkward enough.
However, since Gaara did not continue to attack Naruto, it was already good news for Baki. He could not help raising a glimmer of hope.
The tone is no longer so serious: “Okay. Naruto, you will live here in the future. Everyone must get along well, you know?”
Baki left after that. He plans to leave some space for them to get acquainted and get along well.
After Baki left, Temari took a down-looking gesture and said frankly: “Why are you staying here?”
Naruto, who has a problem with emotional intelligence, does not understand the meaning of Temari’s words, saying very honestly: “I have no place to go. I hope to stay here and have a new life.”
“Oh, then good luck. You’re gonna need it.” Temari left the house with sarcasm. She thought to herself secretly: ‘You are going to die anyway.’
Kankuro’s emotions tensed immediately, and he didn’t intend to stay here to delay Naruto’s continued death. He made an excuse early: “Uh
 I have something to do, and I will go first.”
Only Gaara and Naruto are left.
Of course, Naruto, who is full of longing for a new life, also aims at the only one left in the house, which is Gaara. Naruto just took a step forward and wanted to go to ‘acquainted’.
But when he heard Gaara coldly say: “Don’t come near me! I will kill you one more step!”
Naruto: 

Of course, Naruto, who was blackened to 41% by Li Yaoxiang, wouldn’t think like in the original work. In order to make friends, he smiled and attracted people and went to kneel and lick others.
However, since the panda in front of him didn’t want to make friends with him, Naruto was not reluctant. He turned around and looked out the door.
He looked at this beautiful new environment and new scenery!
Although there is no prosperity like in Konoha Village, Naruto is delighted with this new life feeling and believes that he can definitely live here! He doesn’t need to face the dark side of Konoha Village!
But just when Naruto breathed deeply, intending to take a good breath of the air in the new environment, Li Yaoxiang’s voice sounded in his mind: “What’s wrong? Is the lesson learned in Konoha not enough? Are you still so naive? Do you think the world outside is as beautiful as you think? You thought they brought you here because of good intentions?”
Naruto tightened his heart. He hesitantly asked: “Big brother, it should not be as terrifying as you said
 right? I fell in the desert, didn’t that Baki uncle immediately save me? Give me food. Give me new clothes. Now he introduced me to new friends. Isn’t that good? There should be no problem
 right?”
