4 Kapitulo Kwatro

The success of a student is the secret joy of a teacher. These days granny Chiyo smiled more often. She believed she found hope in an unlikely individual, Gaara the son of the Kazekage, the current Jinjuriki of the hidden sand, the scorned and feared 'monster' is a once in a generation genius in the arts of a shinobi.

Gaara himself is a monster with massive amounts of chakra, peerless in the hidden sand. He also shown to be an erudite in learning earth, wind, and lightning ninjutsu. After teaching him for one and a half years, Chiyo was stumped to find out that the six year-old child can already match a Jonin in terms of ninjutsu.

Gaara is also much taller and tougher than children his age, its as if his body is in an overdrive of growth hormone. His training is not limited to ninja training though, as a prospective Kazekage candidate he is trained in Phylosophy, Economy, Politics and other fields of knowledge essential for a leading position. The boy breezed through everything like a flash of lightning with a smile.

This left me no choice but to impart my own repertoire of techniques to the boy. Poison, Puppet, and Seals if needed.

--------------------

Gaara learned many more things about himself these past few months. It was a pleasant surprise to finally conclude that he has the ability to pick up things really fast aside from not being capable of forgetting anything he ever encountered. Weirdly enough, this does not apply to the memories of his past life.

He breezed through learning many things from granny Chiyo. Theories and Practical applications of techniques, alterations and improvements. Out of all the plethora of earth techniques his favorite are sandstorm, piercing glass mist, sand barrage, sand flicker, and his number one pick hidden sand.

He spent effort and sought guidance from Chiyo to enlarge the range of sandstorm, mixed poison to the piercing glass mist, incorporated sand needles to his sand barrage. Sand flicker is for escape and hidden sand is for concealment. So far even after confiding with his teacher, he found no information about materials that can hide him from the eyes of Hyuga and Uchiha so that will come at a later time.

Since the improvements made are not that difficult to make and Gaara had the chakra to sustain them it can be said that with these list of jutsu alone Gaara can be deemed as an invincible monster within the sands of wind country.

This much of course isn't enough for Gaara. He has bigger plans in store for this world.

'Ram, snake, tiger.'

"Shadow clone jutsu."

One of the most if not the most famous jutsu used by the protagonist of Naruto. Gaara of course knew how it works and the seals involved. He's been using it ever since and results can speak for themselves.

Soon enough a room full of clones can be seen reading, practicing, and sparring on the training ground. Some of them are even making designs of some sort of toy in a piece of paper, while some are mixing poison and other miscellaneous tasks. If he didn't utilize all of his advantages in this world, how is he going to make up for not getting a system?

As they are minding their own business, the original worked on sculpting his body Maito Guy Style. His final burst in the ending season of the show is a sight to behold. Something he would never forget. In short, the youth is burning inside him. YOUTH!

-------------------

"Fight!"

Gaara can be seen standing in a mound of sand surrounded by five jonin of Sunagakure. They cast their techniques at the announcement of granny Chiyo. Sand shuriken, paper bombs, fire balls and other projectiles came to a full stop hitting a thick wall of sand surrounding the child like an egg shell. A sandstorm suddenly appeared swallowing everyone within one hundred fifty meter radius, the screen of sand made sight an impossibility. To these jonin however, this is only child's play as they are used to combat in the desert. Or so they thought.

"Ughh be careful! There's something weird in the sand!"

The warning came too late, two people who are not wearing goggles fell victim to poisoned sand and fell to the ground. They sunk as they screamed in pain before they were buried by the sand. Another three collapsed following the first two, they inhaled the poison in the air released by Gaara and lost consciousness. They also vanished without a sound in the sea of sands.

The sandstorm soon vanished revealing an unscathed Gaara and the last jonin.

"I have to commend you. Out of the six, only you are prepared for combat. Come, I will fight you properly."

The unnamed jonin did not betray his expectations and held out long but ultimately unsuccessful in piercing his passive defense. The jonin collapsed on the sand pathing like an overused farm animal. He was out of chakra. He glanced up to his 'foe' and watched in shock as the guy he fought all this time vanished with a poof and another appeared in its place. The red haired child dragged five jonin behind him as he came closer.

"You lost, remember this loss. You will not have a second chance in a real battle."

Gaara gestured and the ground shook slightly at first before an army of scorpions came to him like ants to sugar.

'Toys?' The jonin remarked in his head.

'No. It should be something he didn't even get to use against us. Just how strong is this kid?'

The scorpions then vanished into a scroll laid on the ground by their owner. He waited for every scorpion to come before keeping the scroll in his utility belt. A weird bird came swooping down and perched in the boy's arm before vanishing into a puff of smoke.

'Another toy. Is he only toying with us?'

"How about not using sand jutsu next time?"

Chiyo spoke after checking on the five jonin who are still unconscious. Gaara already gave them the antidote but they will be sleeping for a while to recover. In his training, Gaara developed more and more and his means became diverse. He focused more on concealment and avoided direct engagement despite the protection offered by his sand defense. He used poison on almost every weapon and technique, used his toys to lay mines beneath the sand to set the field in his favor, monitored the ground using a combination of a bird puppet, his third eye jutsu, and fuinjutsu.

He is very cautious and careful when it comes to battles. He always wore a self-made mask that is in reality a retracted helmet.

'He is too afraid to get injured? No. I saw how hard he trained and he often got injured. Afraid to fail? Hmmm... Gaara never feared failure but enjoyed the process of learning new things. I'll go crazy or worse bald if I continued to ponder about this kid.'

"Its of no use. Even the jonin can't even touch the hem of my clothing, much less the chunin that we have... Thank you teacher. You have taken great care of me all this time."

Gaara gave granny Chiyo a proper bow as he spoke.

"What are you talking about? Its only been two years since you came under me. No need to make a fuss you silly boy."

Another tsun-tsun right here. She spoke and thought differently but the smile on her face can not be any more telling of how she truly felt. She's grown to care for Gaara like a real grandmother would. His semblance with Sasori did not help as well. Like a drowning person grasping for the straws of redemption, she gave her all in training Gaara this past couple of years until she ran out of things to teach.

"I will tell your old man to officially give you a genin rank... Don't be upset, that will only be for a short while as you will immediately be promoted to chunin and jonin in a matter of time. We still have to hide our trump-card yes? Alright go wash up. Hiding under the sand while making your clone puppet do all the work and receive all the attacks sure is effective but I bet having sand under there is pretty damn annoying."

She spoke with a chuckle and left with her brother.

'How... Speaking from experience now are we? Anyway, she's right, but not for long. I just need one final ingredient and I'll be good.'
