Special Abilities: Sand manipulation jutsu. Stats: (Pre-timeskip 10 Point Scale) Ninjutsu: 9 Genjutsu: 5 Taijutsu: 4 Intelligence: 7 Power: 4 Speed: 6 Stamina: 10 Seal Knowledge: 8 (Post-timeskip 10 Point Scale) Ninjutsu: 10 Taijutsu: 4 Genutsu: 7 Intelligence: 8 Power: 5 Speed: 6 Stamina: 10 Seal Knowledge: 8 History: Gaara's life was one of torment and hatred. The sand that protects Gaara is the work of the one-tailed demon Shukaku. Kazekage had it imbued into the being of his unborn son Gaara by Sand kunoichi Chiyo. Though this incarnation protects Gaara from harm, it has caused him deep emotional and psychological harm. Whenever Gaara sleeps, Shukaku begins to eat more and more away at Gaara's psyche. This has led Gaara to limit his sleep to try and protect whatever mental stability he has left. Seeing that Gaara was unable to control the incarnation when young, Kazekage ordered Gaara killed. The sand constantly protected Gaara though and foiled any attempt at assassination. Gaara cursed his father and those in the village for what they had done to him but he still acted under their wishes to participate in the Chuunin Exam. It is during this period that Gaara begins to lose more of his mental stability. After an exhausting fight with Naruto, the two were both knocked to the ground. Gaara remained motionless, only able to watch as Naruto summoned the strength to keep crawling towards Gaara to stop him from further hurting Sakura. Naruto explained to Gaara that he grew up in a similar fashion, that his life could have turned out the same had people not acknowledged and cared for him like Iruka and Naruto's fellow teammates. Naruto explained that one can become truly strong not by fighting for oneself, but for those precious to them. It was then Gaara was able to fully understand that he had been living his life in the wrong manner. Shortly thereafter Kankurou and Temari arrived to help Gaara. Gaara let them know he was finished fighting, and had the team retreat. As they made their way back to the Wind Country, Gaara did something surprising to both Temari and Kankurou, he apologized for hurting them in the past. After Sand had retreated the country discovered that they had been manipulated into invading Leaf by Orochimaru and not under the direction of their Kage. After conceding defeat, Sand and Leaf became allies again. Months later when Shikamaru and his Genin team went on a mission to retrieve Sasuke from the hands of Orochimaru, Tsunade requested a favor from the Sand Country. When Shikamaru and his team were in a dire situation, the three Sand Genin returned to lend assistance to their allies the Leaf. Gaara assisted Rock Lee in fighting Sound ninja Kimimaro. Kimimaro went to his limits and would have surely killed Gaara, had his sickness not got the better of him and ended his life. In the period after, Gaara ascended to the position of Kazekage some time after the death of the former Kage, his father. With a less hostile and more stable personality, he was welcomed by his people and popular, although it was later revealed that he and every Kazekage before him were more like figureheads with the village's council acting more in the administrative department. Gaara was attacked by Akatsuki member Deidara and sacrificed his own safety to protect the village when Deidara threatened to reduce it to rubble. He was taken to Akatsuki's base in the River Country and through a complicated process, had Shukaku removed from him. However, as with all victims of the process, he was killed by it. His corpse was kept by Deidara as a trophy, but Naruto and Kakashi defeated him and retrieved it, where Chiyo gave up her life-force to resurrect him. Despite having Shukaku removed, Gaara is still able to control sand with his own chakra.

Unregistered	Gaara is my favorite character in all of Naruto. His attitude is amazing, and his past is so sad. Its good to know that he didnt die, or else, i wouldve been very dissapointed.

I liked him especially after the timeskip, or at least after he fought with Naruto. Great character who's hardly ever been hurt before. Definitely fit for Kage in Sunagakure. Gaara's bijuu is also nice. Although he's strong and everything, he lacks Taijutsu skills :(. At least his good defense makes up for that. Even without his Shukaku, he's still strong (at least I hope so).

This means it's not automatic anymore? Looks like Gaara's defenses went down a little. Still he is a great person. He's very nice and so sad. He's probably in love. I wanna see him smile though >.> He was so cute when he was running with the ointment in the bag during the flashbacks.

Back in black. Posts: 1,629 Group: VIP Member #906 Joined: October 22, 2005	Exadurating? Wassat?? @ Zetsu Gaara taijutsu is weak because of his automatic sand defense. How do you fight or learn how to fight, at least, if the sand keeps getting in your way?

S-ranked Plant Posts: 2,405 Group: Member Member #908 Joined: October 22, 2005	Well you could use long-range. I think you mean fight hand-to-hand. Still, now he can use taijutsu, but I doubt he would be really good at it, never really experiencing it. There's still always his ninjutsu...

Ninja Academy Student Posts: 13 Group: Member Member #1,760 Joined: February 27, 2006	Sorry if this is off-topic (I don't know where else I would put it) but I was wondering how do you get the exact numbers from the radar chart? There's only 5 lines for each section. You have Gaara's Power as 3 and Genjutsu as 6 when their lines are almost the same. The only difference I see is that Genjutsu's is halfway to the next one. How could that possibly make that much of a difference though? Since there's 5 lines and the highest is 10, I would assume each line represents 2 and halfway is 1, but Genjutsu is halfway to the third and Power is at the second. I'm totally confused. :unsure:

Misconceptions. Posts: 1,078 Group: Member Member #1,128 Joined: December 5, 2005	Gaara's battle with Kimimaro showed how greatly his skills with sand, and his bond with Shukaku, had improved. His jump to Kazekage, regardless of only really being for publicity, only servedas testimony to his reorganized attitude and actions. And just because he doesn't use it does not mean he couldn't possiibly use it. Anyone who is the son of a Kage would get special treatment, even Gaara. So, maybe he had learned taijutsu and genjutsu. I don't see WHY he would have needed those skills with his sand ninjutsu, but even so, a further precaution.

There are five lines, and since some charts have half points, it adds up to 10 total. I figure it's easier to go on a ten point scale then a five.

Genin Posts: 264 Group: Member Member #1,617 Joined: February 11, 2006	He'll paint his eye bags on, the babes dig it. But in all seriousness, he is one of the most effortless fighters in the series. We almost never see him break a sweat unless Lee is smacking him around. Plus he was one of the few characters to go from psychopath to beloved Kazekage in only a few years. I hope he doesn't lose all his ability from losing his tailed beast
