Naruto had been traveling for about ten days through sun, rain and even a little snow! To reach the village hidden in the sand.
What he saw when he got there was silence not a single sound was heard throughout the streets they were all hiding for some reason like a monster was going to come by any minute.
He saw a child open a window just a crack only for her parents to pull her away moments later.
'whats wrong with this place? It's like their going to be killed any minute...' naruto thought solemnly as he reminisced all the times people sent him glares or wanted to hide their child from the sight of him.
He felt like they were isolating somebody- something in this village and god dammit he was going to find for he was not going to let another suffer hell right before his eyes like he once did.
He then heard a melody-sad one- (above the video) it sounded like a violin. it sounded like it was calling out to something-someone anyone asking whoever or whatever it was to just-listen, to see what it's been through. it made naruto want to cry at the message the melody was trying to send-to convey.
He started off for the source of the sound determined to help whoever it was that was playing and he certain it was the person this village hated, scorned, isolated, and was downright terrified of.
Halfway through the trek there the sound stopped before a loud explosion was heard coming from the direction the music had come from. he heard shrieks from inside the houses "it's happening again and it's all because of that monster!" A woman cried
What did naruto see when he arrived you ask? Well what he saw was a man who was presumably a sand ninja who looked like he just exploded (which he did) and a boy his age with surrounded by sand which presumably protected him from all the damage.
The boy was holding a cello his eyes looked remote and dead with a far away look as if he wasn't even looking at the man but further beyond that.... something beyond human comprehension. It was as if im he saw it so many times it did not matter anymore... even naruto knew a kid his age should not have eyes that looked like they had seen so much death.
"Oi you over there, are you okay!?!??" Naruto yelled out to him loudly the boy turned his head towards naruto and looked at him dead on not a single action was wasted it was quick and concise "fine." was his answer he gave away nothing of what he actually thought. it was pretty scary actually he looked as if he was going to go mad and kill at any moments notice. "hey are you the jinchuuriki of the sand?" Naruto said sensing something about this boy that reminded him of himself. "yes I am." yet another short and concise answer replied like he was trying to do two things at once 1.talk to him 2. Hold something back
"May I see your seal" naruto said " I may be able to upgrade it." "How can u trust you when I don't even know you?" The boy said it was the longest thing naruto had heard from him yet so he was surprised "because in just like you..." naruto said after some thought "I'm naruto uzumaki what's you're name?" "Gaara...sabaku.." The newly named gaara said a he started to lift up his shirt after placing the violin down "this is..!!" Naruto said
