lol I ship him with Naruto. Just..every five seconds whenever he runs into a leaf shinobi, he’s like “HOW IS NARUTO? IS NARUTO OKAY?” AND he literally gave a giant speech to all of the shinobi saying how great and amazing Naruto is. And he pretty much is the guy who would go to Naruto for advice.
Not to mention there was one filler episode where Gaara was saving him from a robot clone of himself(weird, I know), and Naruto clasped his hands together and said with literal hearts in his eyes “GAARA YOU’RE SO COOL!”
THEN AGAIN Gaara got pissed off at Deidara for mocking him and left Naruto to fend for himself XD.
Also, there is a distinct contrast. Looking back at their pasts, you can’t deny they are very similar. Both grew up as jinchuuriki and were both outcast by their villages. However, while Naruto’s life had been relatively not been in danger growing up, Gaara’s is a different story. He had countless assassination attempts tried on him, all ordered by his own dad. STILL, both had every right to hate their own village, and Gaara decided to go down that path. But Naruto’s like “Fuck that, my revenge will be proving I can be their hokage!”
Even with their differentiating personalities and paths, Naruto STILL managed to pull him from the dark side, to get him back to reality. And since then Gaara has felt like he needs to repay that debt.
When Gaara got captured, all Naruto could think about was Gaara. Kakashi literally had to tell Naruto to chill when he was getting ahead of everyone else, and when Deidara was running away with Gaara’s body.
FOR CHRIST SAKES GAARA THANKS SHIKAKU FOR BEING INSIDE OF HIM BECAUSE THANKS TO HIM HE GOT TO MEET NARUTO.
JUST LOOK AT THIS MOMENT HERE
NOT TO MENTION GAARA’S DREAM WAS BASICALLY THISSSS
I love Narugaa/GaaNaru. I would say more except I don’t have the time.
