This is all in Shukaku's voice.
Before I had joined the Chosen… no… before I had even entered this land. I was a demon. I was a Tanuki demon. I had risen in the ranks of our tribe to become the second in command. You see, I lived in the demonic world where loyalty was only to the tribe and strength was the only thing of importance. Get stronger or die. That was all there was.
As I slaughtered our enemies and either defended our lands or invaded others, all the time rising in the ranks, I came to realize that in the end, nothing is accomplished. Why do we bother fighting the others? What is the point of invading their land? I had come to realize the utter pointlessness of my existence. Having come to this conclusion, I spoke with the commander, hoping that he too had realized as I have done. But it was not to be. Enraged at what he saw as treason, he attacked me. Our jutsus clashed and in the end, neither was the victor and we both fell to unconsciousness.
When I next awakened, I was still in his chamber and he was still there, unconscious. I took it upon myself to escape from my tribesmen. As I burrowed away, I realized I could go nowhere. If I were to leave our lands, I would have been beset by either the hawk demons to the east, the wolf demons to the west, the shark demons in the north bay or the fox demons to the south. I had decided I would hide within our borders and plan out what to do after.
As I searched for an easily defendable position that's well hidden, I felt an unexplained yearning to go towards the northern mountains. As I got closer to the bottom of the rocky heights, the strange desire drew me towards a cave. Inside the cave, there was a long winding tunnel, at the end of which there was a dark purple portal. It was like a hole in reality with flashes of lightning that streaked across the opening.
Against my better judgment, I ventured into the portal. Immediately, all my senses were sealed. I could see nothing, hear nothing, smell nothing. Nothing at all! The next thing I knew, I had been brought to a foreign temple. As I attempted to explore the place further, I found myself unable to move. The markings on the floor restricted me. In front of me, I saw a strange creature. It looked similar to the ape demons only it was hairless and much smaller. It was wrapped with cloth and held a strange golden staff in one of its hands. Only later did I realize that I had entered another world and that creature in front of me was a human.
He spoke to me and said, "Tanuki Demon! I have summoned you from hell and you are to obey me!"
'Hell?' I thought. 'What is this Hell? And why do I care to obey him?' I stared at him strangely and decided that it doesn't matter. I can't stay in that one place. I must hide quickly, the commander will have sent warriors after me. I needed to leave. As I gathered my chakra to release myself, the man in front of me formed seals. I found all the chakra I had gathered ripped out of me.
Once again, I stared hard at the human. His face was contorted in pain, and suddenly, he slapped his staff on the design on the floor. My body was destroyed and my soul was dragged into his body. However, my soul overwhelmed his and instead of him absorbing me, I had absorbed him. He no longer existed. His body was mine, as was his memories and knowledge. Shocked by the recent events, I stood there scanning over his memories and learning all about the new world.
When I was finished, I snuck out of Suna Village and wandered around trying to figure out what to do with my life. On one fateful day, a strange woman approached me and said, "You are… special."
Before she could say anything else, I panicked and ran. But somehow, even as I ran, I still seemed to feel her presence. All of a sudden, I was pulled beneath the ground. Behind me, I heard footsteps. Once again, it was the woman. We talked and to make a long story short, she took me to be her apprentice and eventually, I became the next Chosen of the Earth.
However, the treachery of the priest, Shuzuku Inokawa, was not to go unpunished. When I returned 10 years later, the Kazekage of the time recognized me immediately. He used Suna village's treasure to seal me as I was unaware, believing that the priest had gained ultimate power and would attack his village. I was sealed into the teapot, and ended up in a different dimension. This new place was an endless desert with 5 blazing suns that do not go down. I quickly had to learn Inokawa's jutsus to survive. I even learned to manipulate my element in a different form, sand. Time was infinite then. I couldn't tell day from night. I don't kno how long I was there but eventually, I was pulled from the teapot by the Kazekage, your father Gaara, and sealed into you.
The pain was intolerable! The last thing I remember before losing my mind was the Kazekage saying, "Gaara… you will be my greatest weapon. It's a shame the full seal would take my life, or you would be even stronger! Mwahahaha…."
Shukaku's finished talking, back to the present
Gaara was speechless. Not sure whether to believe him or not, he canceled the sand clone and said, "Let me think on this, Uzumaki Naruto. I will come back tomorrow."
With that, Gaara turned to the door and walked out. As Naruto canceled his guarding Kage Bunshins and laid down on his bed, Kyuubi yelled, 'What do you think you're doing! Go and practice your skills in one of the training rooms! NOW!'
Jutsu:
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu Shadow Replication Skill
Recreates the user as many times as he wants, provided he uses the needed amount of chakra. The chakra in the body is divided equally so it is a very tiring skill but it is good enough to fool advanced eyes like the Byakugan. These clones can use the chakra in them to use jutsus (I think they should be able to so I will make them so)
