Heyy, I want to know what happens between the 4th and 5th kazekage. I mean Rasa dies and Gaara becomes Kazekage like 3 years later. Shouldn’t there be one kazegake between Gaara and his dad?? There couldn’t be a gap because normally when one of the kage dies they try to find a new one within a few days.

Yeah, Suna's timeline is distinctly funky! There's nothing that explicitly states that Gaara's Kazekage role is new in Part II in the manga. It's new information for Naruto, but he's been away.

The closest thing we get to establishing a timeline is a flashback to Kankuro and Gaara in their Sasuke Retrieval looks, in which Gaara explains he will be joining the regular troops to 'aim for the title of Kazekage.' (Chapter 249). Their clothing implies he made this declaration around age 12.

If we go with the data books, Gaara became a Chunin at age 14, which only makes sense for him to do if he wasn't yet Kazekage. (And, if we include anime filler, they do explicitly have an arc which has Gaara as Kazekage at a year prior to Part II.) So, taking all that into account, and assuming Gaara went from Chunin to Kazekage at age 14, what on Earth was Suna doing for the two years in between?

Like most of Naruto, there's not really a straightforward answer to that, so you can make up whatever you want.

Since Suna is more or less a monarchy when it comes to the Kazekage title, the only real suggestion that I would have is that they would have a ruling regent until one of the Sand Siblings was willing to take on the title of Kazekage. In Chapter 247, there is a council of 12 people, including Gaara, Baki and Yura. So, it is still plausible that those other 11 people were doing the governance work while Gaara was trying to earn his place amongst the Suna troops. It could've been just those 11 people, or Temari or Kankuro could've also been proxies. So then, perhaps Gaara was named "Acting Kazekage" at 12, but officially became involved in governance at 14?

(By Chapter 266, this same council declares that they made Gaara Kazekage because he would be easier to control, and they are already ready to replace him days after his kidnapping, so it really doesn't make sense if there's a gap in leadership. Seems more like the situation they had in the Kakashi Hiden novel, where a new Kage has been appointed, but has not officially taken on the duties yet.)

[uyjji]

Wake up and thinking about 8th hokage ceremony. I want to see 5th Kazekage reaction.

Gaara must be have mixed feelling. He maybe fell sad lost Naruto but proud when see his brother in law being hokage.

But in same times he feel worry with Temari and Shikadai. He was grow up as Kazekage and he was Kazekage now. He know how bussy that job. The most worry goes too Temari.

Temari have bussy Kazekage father, bussy Kazekage brother, and now bussy Hokage wife.

I've seen people claim that Konoha is (some word i forgot, but it's okay I have a backup word) biased to who they pick as their kage. like you have the Senju brothers, Minato and Naruto yk. father and son. and then Hiruzen who taught Tsunade and Minato who taught Kakashi, and also the Senju brothers teaching Hiruzen and Kakashi teaching Naruto, and Tsunade is Hashirama's granddaughter- basically I'm saying they're all connected with sporadic lines every which way bc there are so many relations here.

but like

the other villages are the same. you just point out Konoha because it's like. the main 'chatacter'.

Suna is interesting bc they have a clan called the 'kazekage clan' (because they have no known clan). Gaara and Rasa are father and son. don't know about Reto, Shamon, and the third. but I mean. the kazekage clan speaks for itself.

Iwa had Ishikawa, Onoki, and Kurotsuchi, who are all related. (Ishikawa is Onoki's grandfather, and Kurotsuchi is his granddaughter). and then there's Mu. (the entire point of this post bc it's funny to me. he's just there. menacingly.)

Kumo's first four raikage were all named A. and then there's Darui- also 3rd raikage n 4th raikage are father and son. there's nothing else to note.

and Kiri. was. special. only thing of note maybe is that Chojuro was Mei's bodyguard (6th and 5th mizukage respectively). Byakuren was- yeah. Gengetsu was yeah. 3rd was yeah. YAGURA??????

LMAOOOOOOOO I just learnt that Obito was CONSIDERED to be the REAL 4th mizukage stop. I knew he mind controlled Yagura but I didn't know KISAME???? THATS SO SILLY. also Yagura's death is so anticlimactic and almost comical to me- he died by one of his own men cutting the genjutsu Obito had on him. that's it. thats his death. (+ bonus to my point that all the villages are connected (except for Kiri.))

[kankuroplease]

Ok but will Misaki grow out of being a little shady shit? I hope not. It fits her soooo well. 🤭

She would a bit, but not fully. She would stop trying to get a younger clone of 5th Kazekage for her bf and harassing her gran-gran’s lab assistants (including Log)

However, she will always be a trickster and a scientist at heart. As Rosalind Franklin said “Science and everyday life cannot and should not be separated” and for Misaki, that can (and would) get murky while she’s still young.

[naruto-scenarios-plus-akatsuki]

I would like to ask for a scenario of Gaara and his S / O on the honeymoon, fluffy too (sfw and nsfw) plsss And sorry about my bad english 😚❤❤❤

Is this sweet? Is this fluffy? I never know. I think I just made it saucy. Lmao. Thank you for the request and no worries about the English. 

Morning Bliss, Gaara

He woke to a feeling of complete bliss. A feeling he never quite had. Sleep use to evade him in the past and taunted him with promises of sweet dreams. However, there was nothing sweet about sleep’s embrace. When he had slept before his dreams were empty and when his eyes cracked open again there would be blood around him from Shukaku’s acts.

Sleep was easier now with his one-tailed demon out of his body. His dreams were still bare, but he could now manage a few hours of sleep into the night and feel rejuvenated when morning came. Today, he felt exceptionally lively as he turned his eyes over to his lover that was lying beside him.

You were still sleeping and Gaara had no doubt that you were dreaming fervently from last night’s events. A small smile and a hint of a blush touched Gaara’s cheeks at the thought.

Both of you had consummated your marriage last night. Both were each other’s first, giving each other your all. Of course, it had been a little awkward and clumsy in the beginning as both of you were inexperience.

Gaara was very nervous with his touches and even hesitant to receive your caresses and cues. However, by the end of the night, you both were able to reach a release.

Gaara had never felt anything like it before, to feel such pleasure and such love with his partner. Smiling tenderly, he watched you sleep a few moments longer. The morning was still early, and you two had fallen asleep late last night. He couldn’t believe how lucky he was to be wed to you. To know that he would share his life with you for the rest of his days.

As quietly as he could, he eased himself off the bed and away from your warm body. With soft footsteps, he found plaid pajama bottoms to slip into before making his way out of the master bedroom and into the suite.

From there, he headed to the door of the resort that him and you were staying. He opened the door with care as to not startled his guards.

His guards stood at attention and obeyed him when he asked for them to fetch breakfast and some hot tea. They nodded taking their orders, before Gaara resumed closing the door.

While he waited, he went to shower and freshen up. He was hoping by the time he was done; his lover may be stirring, and food would be ready for you two to eat together. He had asked the guards for your favorite breakfast which was pancakes and strawberries to which he wish to surprise you with.

Once he was out of the shower, your breakfast awaited you on the small kitchen table made for two. The table sat right beside the patio window where the sunlight was beginning light the sky. Gaara made his way back to the shared guest room, pleased to see that you were faintly stirring from the chill in the bed from his lack of presence and from the slight noise the servants made from delivering your food.

With assured steps, he stood beside the bed before crouching down to your eye level. His fingers softly stroked your hair as he leaned in slowly to kiss up your arm up to your shoulder. The feather kisses seemed to get your attention as your eyes fluttered open.

A smile warmed your face as Gaara greeted you with a good morning.

“Good morning, indeed.” You agreed as you lifted your head off your pillow and leaned in to kiss your husband’s lips.

Gaara smiled fondly, happy to see you were in such bliss as he was that morning.

“I had breakfast prepared for you, if you like,” he mentioned sweetly.

Your eyes lit up and held a twinkle of amusement. “That’s thoughtful of you, I hope it tastes as good as you.”

Gaara’s face became as red as his hair but he did not dare admit it. He kissed you sweetly on the mouth instead of commenting and you giggled at his embarrassment.

“Let’s eat while it’s still warm.

The sun’s almost up,” Gaara suggested.

“Okay,” you agreed easily as Gaara stood up from his position.

He trailed in front of you as you got out of bed. He turned back and waited for you at the door to find you naked with the sheet fallen to your feet as you looked for clothes. Gaara’s cheeks flamed briefly, admiring you in your natural beauty as he felt his nether regions stirring.

Your eyes met Gaara’s after finding his shirt and pulling it over your head. The length of it falling pass your butt. You saw the small dust of pink on his cheeks, but more importantly the desire in his eyes. You blushed at the way he looked at you as you approached him so you two could go get breakfast.

“Let’s eat.” You stated with a coy smile, grabbing his hand to follow you after passing the door.

It was several minutes after you two had sat down for breakfast, taking the first few bites that Gaara finally found his voice to say.  

“I think you taste better too.”

How to Play as Gaara in DnD 5e

Gaara is perhaps one of the hardest characters to adapt to DnD simply because it requires a lot of reflavoring to make work, but today, I want to prove that it is possible to play as Gaara in DnD 5e, and more than just one way too.

Usually, my rule for Anime Characters is that they are Variant Humans due to their ability to do things normal humans can’t, and while Variant Human or Custom Lineage are viable, I will also be throwing out another possible choice for Gaara. Fallen Aasimars can effectively activate “dark mode” where they become stronger for a brief period, dealing more damage, and potentially scaring anyone nearby when they transform. So, if you go with Variant Human or Custom Lineage, take Eldritch Adept and pick up Armor of Shadows to make his AC 13+Dex. But if you want to make Shukaku Possessed Gaara part of the build, you’ll have to drop an ASI and pick up Armor of Shadows later in the build.

For his background, Gaara is a ninja trained in stealth and espionage. I’d make him a Spy for Stealth and Sleight of Hand.

Gaara’s alignment is a bit iffy, but I’d say he starts the series between Neutral Evil and Chaotic Evil, but by Shippuden, had evolved to be Lawful Good or Neutral Good.

I also want to take a moment to talk about Gaara’s stats. Yes, Gaara is slow, but that’s because he’s carrying a heavy gourd full of dense sand on his back. So while Gaara canonically walks very slowly, it’s because of the weight of carrying around all that sand. When he does demonstrate actual feats of dexterity, he’s actually somewhat nimble. He has good hand-eye coordination and is good at sneaking up on professionally trained ninjas.

WIZARD

SCHOOL OF ABJURATION

Gaara’s biggest strength is his defenses. One of the first things we learn about him is that he’s come back from some pretty high-level missions without so much as a scratch. In fact, Rock Lee is one of the first (if not THE first) person to land a hit on Gaara, not just in the show, but in his life. As such, the School of Abjuration puts heavy emphasis on defensive spells and protective barriers. Gaara’s sand can act as his Arcane Ward, blocking incoming damage from reaching him. And once Naruto has kicked the value of friendship into him, he can use his sand to guard others as well. As a Wizard, we’ll pick two skills from the Wizard skill list, and make Gaara proficient in Investigation and History.

OTHER TRANSLATIONS OF GAARA

CONCLAVE OF THE SWARMKEEPER RANGER

It’s not as good as the Abjuration Wizard, but if you’re looking for a more funky build option, this is technically viable. The Swarmkeeper plays as though they’re being aided by a swarm of things: bugs, pixies, cats. Who’s to say you can’t be a Ranger aided by a swarm of semi-sentient bloodthirsty grains of sand? The Swarmkeeper can make a Gathered Swarm as Gaara pulls many grains of sand into a dense mass, and his final Swarmkeeper ability will cause Gaara to be swallowed and moved by his sand when he’s hurt, with the sand even absorbing some of the damage that triggered the sand to rush to his defense in the first place.

GAARA’S SPELLBOOK

Something to keep in mind with Gaara is that a lot of his spells are going to require to be reflavored, which may also mean changing the damage type. Speak with your DM about how best to alter these spells to fit Gaara’s abilities and that all of his spells are made out of sand.

C Blade Ward, Infestation, Mage Hand, Mold Earth, Ray of Frost 1 Color Spray, Ice Knife, False Life, Feather Fall, Magic Missile, Shield, Snare, Tenser’s Floating Disk 2 Blur, Cloud of Daggers, Dust Devil, Hold Person, Max’s Earthen Grasp, Mirror Image, Rime’s Binding Ice, Scorching Ray, Snilloc’s Snowball Swarm 3 Erupting Earth, Fireball, Fly, Melf’s Minute Meteors, Protection from Energy, Sleet Storm, Slow, Tidal Wave, Wall of Sand 4 Arcane Eye, Edvard’s Black Tentacles, Ice Storm, Otiluke’s Resilient Sphere, Stoneskin,  5 Bigby’s Hand, Hold Monster, Wall of Force 6 Fizban’s Platinum Shield, Globe of Invulnerability, Investiture of Ice, Tasha’s Otherworldly Guise 7 Forecage, Simulacrum 8 Incendiary Cloud 9 Invulnerability, Meteor Swarm

GAARA’S FEATURES

Celestial Resistance Gaara resists Radiant and Necrotic Damage Darkvision Gaara gains Darkvision to a distance of 60 feet Healing Hands Gaara can restore up to 20 hit points to another creature with his touch. Light Bearer Gaara knows the Light Cantrip, which he casts with CHA. Arcane Recovery After Gaara completes a short rest, he can restore up to 10 spell slots of 5th level or lower. Abjuration Savant Time and Gold spent adding Abjuration spells to Gaara’s spellbook are reduced by half. Arcane Ward When Gaara casts an Abjuration spell, he creates a Ward with HP equal to 2x his Wizard Level + his INT mod. (max 45). Any time he would take damage, the ward takes the damage first. The Ward gains HP when Gaara casts an Abjuration spell equal to 2x the spell level cast (max 18). Gaara can only create his arcane ward once per long rest. Necrotic Shroud Gaara calls forth Shukaku for 1 minute. Creatures within 10 feet must pass a CHA saving throw against 8+ Proficiency + CHA mod (max 15) or be Frightened of Gaara until the end of their next turn. While transformed, Gaara deals additional Necrotic damage equal to his level once per turn. Projected Ward Gaara can use a reaction to send his Arcane Ward to protect an ally within 30 feet that he can see. Improved Abjuration Abjuration spells that require an ability check can add his proficiency bonus to the roll. Spell Resistance Gaara resists all spell damage and has advantage on all saving throws against spells. Spell Mastery Gaara can cast a 1st and 2nd level spell of his choosing at their lowest levels without using a spell slot for them. Signature Spells Gaara can cast two 3rd level spells of his choosing at 3rd level once per long rest without using a spell slot.

Ultimately, how good Gaara can be will depend on your DM and how willing they are to bend the spells to be flavored as Gaara’s sand. However, Gaara’s ability to create temp HP with both his ward and False Life plus his eventual spell resistance and the ability to cast Shield every turn with Spell Mastery means that Gaara will be at least somewhat tanky for a Wizard. It’s not perfect, but at least for now, I can think of no better way to build the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure.
