Gaara




If you really want to know the life the names the village all that good stuff here is some info I looked up and actually its about dead on with what really happens so look around read do whatever

gaara (䈤, gaara)

Gaara is a ninja from the village of Sunagakure, and the son of the Fourth Kazekage, the leader of Sunagakure, and brother to Kankuro and Temari. Due to his traumatic past, Gaara is a ruthless killer, slaying others without remorse and acting cold and distant even with his allies and siblings. His abilities in controlling sand earned him the moniker "gaara of the sand waterfall" (ẻ䈤, Sabaku no Gaara), more commenly translated as "Gaara of the Desert," or "Gaara of the Sand". His battle with Naruto in the series changes his outlook on the world; in Part II, he becomes Sunagakures Fifth Kazekage as a result of Naruto's influence pushing him to aid others. Witch is a good thing. I think?? (^-^) maybe when I think about it being eviler was fun (O.o)


gaaras background, though given in small amounts from the time of his introduction, is told in detail midway through Naruto manga volume fifteen. This backstory, told via flashbacks at the start of Gaaras fight with Naruto Uzumaki, serves as a way to contrast the two characters diverse upbringings. While both characters face similar hardships of hate and neglect in their youth, they each develop radically different personalities. Prior to Gaara's birth his father, then the leader of the ninja village Sunagakure, was forced to cut military spending and channel its revenue to other programs. To keep the village's military forces from becoming too weak, his father had the One-Tailed Shukaku sealed within Gaara during his birth. In doing so, his father hoped that Gaara would become the village's weapon, singlehandedly filling the void created by the budget cuts.
To help Gaara gain control over the powers granted to him by Shukaku, Gaara's father trained him in the ninja arts throughout his childhood. Despite years of efforts to tame and control the beast within him, Gaara was never able to gain complete control over Shukaku. Against gaaras will, Shukaku would lash out and attack those close to him, making him feared as a monster by the villagers despite his attempts to apologize. His father, fearing that Gaara might someday bring about the destruction of the village, ordered Gaara's assassination. Over the coming years Shukaku would protect Gaara from every assassination attempt and promptly kill the perpetrator. Realizing that he had been abandoned by his own family, Gaara adopted the belief that he, and by extension Shukaku, were the only people he could rely on in the world

gaaras most fundamental characteristic at the start of the series is a direct result of his background; as he is the only person he can count on, he comes to believe that the only way he can feel alive is by killing others. During the Chunin Exams arc, a chance for aspiring ninja to prove their worth and rise up the ninja ranks, Gaara displays this philosophy by either killing or seriously maiming anyone who makes the mistake of insulting him Towards the arc's conclusion, after weaker ninja have fallen to the wayside and Gaara is pitted against progressively more talented opponents, Gaara undergoes a subtle change in ideals: rather than finding purpose in life by killing just anyone, Gaara comes to crave killing anyone stronger than him, as only they are capable of threatening his existence. What would you do if you had someone trying to kill you sit there and let them or stand up and kill them first. (^-^)

gaara continues to seek out strong opponents for the duration of the arc, eventually forcing Naruto uzumaki to fight him by threatening one of his teammates. By fighting to save his friends, Naruto is able to defeat Gaara. Realizing that fighting for others yields greater strength than fighting for one's self, Gaara abandons his belief that he is the person he can rely on. For the series's duration Gaara tries to make amends with the many character's he had alienated, apologizing to those he hurt and improving his relationship with his family. At the same time, Gaara's fundamental characteristic becomes to protect as many people as he can, as in doing so he will be able to find true strength. This culminates in his replacing his father as the leader of Sunagakure during the second half of the series, his greatest dream being to give his life for the villagers no matter what their opinion of him may be risking your life for someone like that would be a great way to die I supose its better than you killing them then dying. Well thatfs just my opinion of course. (^-^)



Because shukaku is sealed within him gaara is granted complete control over sand. Because he fights on a variety of terrains throughout the series, many of which do not have high concentrations of sand, gaara always carries some with him a gourd not a peanut a GOURD which itself is also made of sand. When attacking others Gaara uses his sand to capture and subsequently crush his target, only varying the size and intensity of the action to suit the situation. Most of his battles involve repeating this method of attack over and over until he has succeeded in finishing off his opponent, and as such Gaara typically remains stationary for the battle's duration. If an opponent is able to escape his attempts at capture and get close enough to attack him, gaara possesses an automatic shield of sand that reacts whenever he is about to be struck. Though few characters have ever been able to bypass this defense, as it activates quickly and without Gaara's knowledge, Gaara armors his skin with a layer of sand as a precautionary defensive measure. Having sand all over your body extremely itchy but you get used to it (^-^)
If he is unable to defeat an opponent under his own power, gaara can bring out all or portions of Shukakus personality, giving him a proportionate access to its superior strength and speed. To do so he slowly covers himself in sand and turns himself into a miniature Shukaku, making him more violent and bloodthirsty in the process. When he firsts uses this transformation during the course of the story, Gaara is unconcerned with this particular side effect. Once he adopts his more pacifist mindset, he comes to fear what he might do to his allies if he taps into Shukaku, and thus has avoided using it ever since. Once he has completed his Shukaku replica, Gaara can force himself to sleep to fully bring out Shukakus personality witch is annoying by the way. Doing so allows Shukaku to fight at its full strength, giving him complete dominance over the battle so long as he is asleep or playing possum.
