"Get out!"
"Leave this place!"
"You are not welcome here!"
As Gaara listened to the angry shouts of the staff monsters around him, memories of his time in the Sand Village resurfaced. He remembered how the villagers treated him like a curse. Everywhere he went, they shunned him as if he were a monster, even though he was the son of the Kazekage.
A child growing up constantly treated as a monster would naturally have a twisted psyche. On top of that, his inability to fully control Shukaku meant he hadn't been able to sleep for years.
All this had driven Gaara to the edge of insanity.
Recently, thanks to his encounter with Naruto, his mindset had begun to change, and he no longer harbored the same dark thoughts. However, in this strange environment, surrounded by the staff monsters' voices shouting for him to leave, his long-buried rage and bloodlust were reawakened.
"If you hate me so much, then die!" Gaara's voice was filled with terrifying murderous intent as his face twisted in anger. Half of his body began to emit sand.
"Ahhhh!!"
Gaara swung his arms violently, and a massive cloud of sand rose up around him, forming blades that slashed toward the staff monsters.
"Crack! Crack!"
Though made of sand, the blades were impossibly sharp, cutting through the staff monsters like they were made of butter, slicing them cleanly in half.
But Gaara wasn't done yet.
"Die! Die!"
Gaara's voice grew increasingly distorted, sounding less like a human and more like the roar of a beast. His terrifying presence caused those around him to tremble uncontrollably.
"Gaara's lost control again!" Kankuro immediately understood what was happening, his face paling.
"How could this happen? He was just starting to change..." Temari's face turned ashen.
"What's going on?" Alfred asked in confusion, not understanding the situation.
"Alfred, get back! Gaara is extremely dangerous right now!" Temari quickly pulled Alfred back, trying to prevent him from getting caught in the chaos.
"Die! All of you, die!" Gaara screamed in madness, his arm fusing with the sand, transforming into a beast-like claw. Half of his face had taken on an animalistic form, far from human.
Gaara had unconsciously entered his Tailed Beast State, with Shukaku slowly taking control. He was on the verge of losing himself entirely.
"This is bad. Gaara is being controlled by Shukaku," Kankuro said grimly. The worst-case scenario had come true. If Gaara completely lost control, there was nothing they could do but run.
"Master Gaara, please calm down. Don't be reckless," Alfred said urgently, stepping forward to address Gaara.
"Wait, it's too dangerous!" Temari shouted, pulling at Alfred to stop him.
But Alfred didn't show any fear. Instead, he looked at Gaara with a calm and sincere expression.
"Master Gaara, please don't lose control. Don't let something strange take over. I don't know you well, but from our brief conversation, I can tell you're a strong person. You won't be defeated so easily. Please calm down and control yourself."
Alfred's words seemed to possess a strange power. Even in the face of Gaara's terrifying form, his tone remained gentle.
Gaara looked at Alfred, his expression momentarily dazed. No one had ever spoken to him so kindly while facing his monstrous side.
The last person who had treated him with any compassion was Naruto, though Naruto's approach had been less gentle.
Alfred's kindness reminded Gaara of his mother and uncle.
For a moment, the overwhelming bloodlust within Gaara subsided.
"Ahhhhhhh!!"
But the next second, Gaara returned to his rampage. Shukaku's consciousness would not allow itself to be suppressed. Now that it had a chance to control Gaara again, it wouldn't let it slip away.
"Die!" Gaara roared as he swung his beastly claw toward Alfred.
"Watch out!" Temari shouted, pulling Alfred away to avoid Gaara's attack.
At the same time, Kankuro sent his puppet forward in an attempt to restrain Gaara.
However, the puppet was no match for Gaara, and with a single swipe of his beast claw, it was smashed to pieces. It stood no chance.
Kankuro had expected this, though. He didn't rely on his puppet to stop Gaara—he just needed to buy enough time for them to escape.
"Run as fast as you can! We have to get out of here!" Kankuro shouted to Temari as he sprinted away.
"But what about Gaara? We can't just leave him like this!" Temari's heart ached as she looked back at Gaara, now a monstrous figure. She didn't want to abandon her brother.
"We can't do anything for him," Kankuro said, his voice filled with pain. They had no other choice.
"Don't think you can run! You'll all die!"
By this point, Gaara had fully transformed, and he was relentlessly chasing after Kankuro and Temari. As he rampaged through the store, he crushed shelves and staff monsters alike. The destruction was overwhelming.
"Damn it, at this rate, we'll be caught!"
Gaara's speed was beyond what they had anticipated, putting immense pressure on Kankuro and Temari. If things continued like this, they would be captured in no time.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Gaara leaped from one shelf to another, using them as platforms to increase his speed. With a few powerful jumps, he was suddenly right in front of Kankuro and Temari.
"Die!"
Gaara, now fully controlled by Shukaku, raised his claw high, ready to strike down on his siblings without hesitation.
Kankuro and Temari's faces turned white as they realized there was nowhere to escape.
"Final Arrival!"
At that moment, an electronic voice rang out, and a black spiral object shot from the side, slamming into Gaara and sending him flying through several shelves before crashing to the ground.
As the spiral object stopped, Bruce Wayne, in his Knight Armor, appeared before Kankuro and Temari.
"Master Wayne!" Alfred recognized Bruce immediately and smiled in relief.
"Alfred, I'm glad you're safe," Bruce said, also relieved to see his butler unharmed.
"Hey, old man!" Doraemon and his group rushed over.
"Whoa! A talking blue raccoon!" Temari exclaimed, shocked to see Doraemon.
This made Doraemon visibly annoyed.
