I took the life of the woman I was supposed to call mother in the process of being born... in order to become the world's strongest shinobi... an incarnation of sand was implanted inside of me...

It's nothing that complicated, I just want to kill him

For awhile, I thought that was love.

Now there's something I understand a little better. Hate, sadness, even joy. to be able to share it with another person...Naruto Uzumaki from fighting him i learned that. he knew pain like i did and then he taught me that you can change your path. I wish that one day i can be needed by someone. Not as a frightening weapon...But as the sand's Kazekage.

Gaara: Can Sasuke come out to Die?
Kakashi: Not Now.
Gaara:.............
Gaara: How 'bout now?

A soul needs a purpose to live and so I concluded that my purpose was to kill everyone besides myself. I felt alive.
