Kapitulo Desisais

"Are you sure about all this?"

Rasa asked Gaara who stood in front of him to report about their latest mission in Tetsu no Kuni. The report Gaara gave is of course the version where there's no mention of flying stuff and demonic jar. It was played down a little and many things are omitted in order to not raise suspicion.

"Do I look like I have the energy to joke around with your ilk? Can I please be excused? Breathing the same air as you... irks me to no end."

Rasa waved his hand visibly annoyed.

"Don't contact me anytime soon. I don't have free time to deal with your shenanigans."

Gaara left the hall. He hated Rasa's guts from the get-go. His way of running the village in addition to how he treated people like some sort of tools gave his bad reputation a boost. In fact, there are two types of people in Sunagakure, one type are those who hated his guts but acted civil the other is those who hated his guts and openly showed their distaste.

Normally, Gaara, the child who was experimented on by his very own father and then blamed for his mother's death had no reason to feel any form of connection with the offender.

"You taught him well Granny Chiyo. Now he is bearing his fangs against those who fed him."

Rasa spoke mockingly as he cast a sidelong glance towards the elder's seat.

"You are a hateful brat so why are you looking at me? You deserve the treatment anyway, plus he's only like that around you. Must be allergies of some kind. Hahahaha."

Old Chiyo got up and left followed by her brother. Perhaps her attitude towards the current Kazekage did rub off to Gaara somewhere along the line. Or not.

"One more lap around the village! Go!"

Temari and Kankuro ran chasing their breaths like they are about to have a seizure of some sort. Their feet sand on the lose sand and Baki's shouting like some drill sergeant from hell is the only inspiration they had to continue lifting their foot.

"No slacking or I'll double the weights as punishment next."

"Go! Go! Go!

Gaara smiled as he watched them suff... ummm training hard to improve themselves. After all, in this world where might makes right its either you sweat in training or you'll bleed in battle. Even a kid knows the obvious answer to that. So which one should you choose?

'Don't go to battle.'

*ring ring ring

"Yes its me."

[....] (undiscernible)

"Oho? How soon can you prepare for departure?

[....] (undiscernible)

"Well that comes after the relocation issues are resolved. Of course no one would believe that an entire village's entire population simply vanished without anyone noticing. Someone had to hold the fort and take all the blame. What's better reason and more common than revenge?"

[....] (undiscernible)

"If you are still hesitant to fulfill the long awaited wish of your ancestor then there's no point in talking to me now. Consider this carefully Hoki-san. The fate of your people rests on your shoulder."

[....] (undiscernible)

"Goodbye Hoki-san."

*toot

The call just ended when another one came.

*ring ring

"Yo. What's up?"

[....] (undiscernible)

"Yes I issued that. Are you interested?"

[....] (undiscernible)

"The rewards? I believe that the amount I offered is not such a meager sum that a special-jonin can ignore. You'll be rich, I'll be happy. Win-win as they say. So what seems to be the problem?"

[....] (undiscernible)

"Are you certain that this is what you want? Hmmm I believe it can be arranged."

[....] (undiscernible)

"Yeah, no... no need to kill anyone if its not necessary. The meteorite is harmful to them anyways so we're actually saving these people from alien threat. We are the good guys here hahahaha."

[....] (undiscernible)

"I will await for good news then."

*toot

Gaara looked to the training grounds and saw Baki force-feeding Kankuro with nutrient pills to aid muscle-bone development.

"Take the nutrient pill, this is for your own good!"

"Alright let's break some bones and not waste the Body Activation Jutsu on you. You can begin learning some fancy jutsu later after I'm done with you. Until then, you guys are stuck with me."

Baki kicked Kankuro's behind for slacking off.

"You fucking dog! Run one more lap! Move it motherfucker!"

"You are a little too lenient Baki-san. Those two are already chunin level after all they can take more beat- ummm training. Hehehe Stop glaring at me onee-chan, I already went past those type of trainings."

Gaara shouted and then sipped some fresh buko-juice(1) with a straw while lying on a beach chair like some tourist. He is in fact working at the moment. Working on making people do things for him so that he wouldn't have to do so much shit all the time. But the calls just won't stop coming in.

His products are in high demand and he can barely keep up with the demand of his 'small' market so he figured that he would expand the production of some not-so-important tech through other people. He did not want to hinder the development of his plans and issued missions to mercenaries within the influence of Yggdrasil. So far, the famously affordable Akatsuki is yet to initiate a deal for the missions he issued but the mist demon is a chill dude so its okay.

*ring ring ring

"Yo!"

[....] (undiscernible)

"Yes, he should be very young about two to three years old. He'll have a frail body and his eyes are red like blood."

[....] (undiscernible)

"Dafuk do you think I'd waste time to prank you bitches? I'm even paying a third of the money in advance, its not like I'm asking you to kill someone. Find the kid, get paid. We good?"

[....] (undiscernible)

"Yeah... whatever just do it."

*toot

Just as Gaara is thinking about burning the phone he thought about something he forgot from the beginning. Gaara smiled in contentment. His clone received calls for him this time so he can finally relax. He began to hum a tune from a song he knew in his previous life while he watched his future bodyguard and the new monster-mom as they toiled for strength.

He has some special plans for these two.

He's been doing pretty well so far. Not as helpless as when he was a kid. Not as poor as he was in his previous life. All of it stemmed from the advantages of rebirth offered him, his luck with getting Gaara's avatar (somewhat), and his willingness to pursue power. Many people would say they'd do great things when given the chance but never put effort into at least giving it a shot.

'Thank God there's kagebunshin.'

In all honesty one of the most OP techniques out there. Just look at the results, he fully replicated the achievements of the third Kazekage in the use of iron sand. Of course poison is added into it similar to what Sasori did for maximum efficiency. If he can somehow grab Deidara and copy the kinjutsu from Iwagakure then the iron sand will be taken to another level. Trying to recreate the effects using fuinjutsu is theoretically possible but the research progress is snail paced so some kind of reference would be nice to have.

He fully renovated the Gelel ruins into a functional base of operation, started his own business, his own organization, recruited people, invented things, funded research, explored ruins, learn jutsu, language, cooking, dancing, music, agriculture, etc. If its something to learn, he's on to it already. Through such direct participations, he managed to understand lots of things in a deeper sense and not just as an onlooker or a scholar who studied theories.

He experienced lives he did not know he could live as through one jutsu. A beggar, a fisherman, a farmer, an architect, a dancer, a singer, a musician, a gang boss, a thug, a swordsman, a merchant, etc... This is putting oneself into another's shoe in a literal sense.

'How about I try posing as animals next?'
