According to the Narutopedia website, Gaara is one of the most striking characters in the Naruto manga and its adaptation. It belongs to the Shinobi of the Hidden Sand Village. It is a carrier of a one-tailed beast Shukaku.
Similar creatures sealed in humans in the universe of Naruto are called jinchuuriks.
Short biography: birth
At birth, Gaara was a very weak and fragile child, as he was born prematurely. Chie’s grandmother made the little boy jinchuuriki when he was still in his mother’s womb, which is why the whole village subsequently became afraid of Gaara and considered him a monster. Such a terrible act was committed over him due to the dire economic situation in the sandy part of the Shinobi country - Suna.
The first two offspring of Yondame Kazekage (his father) were incompatible with the tailed beast of Shukaku, therefore the whole load of absolute weapons was forcibly taken over by little Gaara (you can see this in Narutopedia).
Sealing the beast in the embryo led to a difficult early birth and the death of his mother - Karura.
Childhood
The first years of his life, Gaara lived in complete isolation: he was under the care of his uncle on the mother's side and studied the basics of battle with his father.
In the eyes of the parent, the boy was a failed experiment. For the sake of checking Gaara, his father decided to send his uncle to attack, which ultimately ended in the death of Yashimara. The last false words of uncle is a confession of hatred for Gaara because of the death of his mother. Shocked by this event, he knocks out the “kanji” sign on his forehead, which means “love,” and kills everyone who gets in his way.
After the failure of the experiment, Gaara's father begins to send killers to his son.
Despite the existence of a brother and sister (the characters in Narutopedia are also mentioned, these are Temari and Kankuro), he lacked love and human communication. In addition, he had to endure the betrayal of the person closest to him - Uncle Yashimara, as a result of which Gaara felt hatred for the whole world and cared only for himself.
Youth
However, during the operation to invade Konoha, Gaara loses to Naruto and regards his defeat as his wrong position in life.
Having acquired a new goal, he returns to the village and makes every effort to combat his shortcomings and mistakes of the past. His proof of success is the fact that he is being proclaimed the new kazekage (leader) of his country.
For all the changes for the better, he thanks the main character - Uzumaki Naruto, who was able to influence and pull out from him a true human being.
Abilities and techniques of Gaara on Narutopedia
Gaara has large reserves of internal energy - the chakras. This is partially due to the fact that he is a jinchūriki. However, after a tailed beast is removed from his body, the degree of physical strength does not become less.
Despite this, Gaara prefers to stay at a long distance in battle and rarely use taijutsu, a martial arts technique.
According to Narutopedia, Gaara has the ability to manipulate sand. In addition to the sand that is in the jug and is filled with his chakra, he is also able to control it from the outside.
From birth, he was given the natural forces of the earth (doton), wind (futon) and lightning (rayton), which he can combine with his sand, thereby strengthening the protective function, increasing the speed and the affected area itself.
His position in the battle is a fixed stance and an enemy attack from a long distance. First, Gaara captures and paralyzes the target (desert coffin - “sabaku kyu”), and then crushes all parts of the body (sand funeral - “sabaku soso”), mixing sand with water.
To attack, the enemy needs to be able to pass through a shield from his sand, which automatically protects Gaara (sand shield - "suna no tate"). With a successful attack by the enemy, the hero uses the “no nooroi” jutsu, which allows him to cover his body with a very thin layer of sand.
As is clear from the articles on the Narutopedia website, Gaaru is protected by maternal power. She is able to save not only her son, but also on a vast area, spreading over large areas.
By applying sand to different places of his body, he regenerates these parts into the body of Shukaku (his tailed beast), but at the same time retains its human size.
At the last stage, Gaaraa creates a full-fledged form of an animal with a huge amount of chakra (power). After lulling himself, the shinobi is able to transfer control over his body to Shukaku.
When attacked, Gaara can reproduce “Shuna Shuriken” - a technique that allows you to shoot the enemy with sand shells similar to shuriken weapons.
In addition to the basic methods, he develops additional skills:
- creates sand mobile platforms;
- sand division of the body ("suna bushin");
- "daisan no me" - a technique for exploration tasks, creating a sand eye, connecting it to the present with the help of the chakra;
- "sansa kaibye" - a ninjutsu capable of detecting secretive gaps;
- “sabaku sotaiso fuin” is a technique in which the huge sand pyramid created by Gaara and Shukaku allows the spread of fuinjutsu.
Gaara and his girlfriend (according to Narutopedia)
An interesting fact is that Gaara does not have a girl and a future wife. Hakuto from the Hoki family claimed this role until she betrayed him, trying to escape with her lover, Shisegana.
But in the care of Gaara there are three adopted children:
- son of Shinki;
- son of Araya;
- daughter Yodo.
Total
According to the Narutopedia website, Dog no Gaara is the youngest kage of all that has ever existed. He became him at the age of 15, realizing all the mistakes and embarking on the true path of the shinobi.
Such a complex, full of pain and disappointment, but instructive life made of Gaara a great war and a devoted comrade for the whole people.
