HEADCANON: EMULATION OF NARUTO. this isn’t so much a headcanon as it is a series of observations & deeper dive into his psyche, specifically between the periods of the konoha crush arc and when we meet gaara again during the sasuke retrieval arc.

the transition into where he ends up is not immediate. gaara would need several days to process his feelings surrounding his fight with naruto -- this idea that someone can so wholly fight for people who, as gaara sees it, have been nothing but awful to people like them is something that at this point of his life, he can’t understand. not the first time he mulls it over. the first thing he does is apologize to his siblings as they carry him away, but the following days afterwards are spent silent. 

however, it’s notable that his aura --- the one of murderous intent that he seems to radiate throughout the majority of part one --- is completely halted at the time of the apology; that’s the first thing to go. for the following days of his physical recovery, gaara is introduced to a new kind of transitional numbness; confusion, even. it’s important to state that there’s no way 6 years of that deep mindset would be instantly undone, and i think he still carries uncertainty in his battle alongside lee against kimmimaro, based on their conversation afterwards. 

the demeanor he carries for this period of time is similar to the one he did as a child, although less outwardly warm and generally uncertain as he discerns his feelings. this takes several weeks. he starts small, by helping his siblings in ways he wouldn’t have bothered to before -- really, by even just giving them the time of day. if you notice, he’s completely dismissive towards them for the majority of the chuunin exams. 

around the time he and kankuro have their moment, it’s clear he’s decided that he wants to become like him -- like naruto, he wants to become someone who isn’t feared, and to protect others the way this boy has, who has touched him so deeply and inspired him to change the way he’s seen by no longer being consumed by his own ideology and further striking fear into everyone. 

the two years between series one and shippuden are a trying, long process; there are still those that doubt him, but he does everything in his power to change. to be better. there are still things he doesn’t understand ( such as social interactions ), but overall, he gains a quick maturity and almost wisdom factor.

❛   I do agree that as the Kazekage it is wise to seek wisdom that may better aid your people …  ❜ Puzzlement plays over owlish features, mouth pursing in thought. Has he heard of that phrase before ? 

Yes, he thinks he has. From Naruto, even !  ❛   It is a sign of camaraderie and good-fun ! I have seen it produce many a laugh and a smile ! However, you say it like this !   ❜

 His fist raises to curl coquettishly before his face and he winks. Charmingly.  ❛   Like y’know nya ~ ! Now you try, Gaara !   ❜

        the intensity of which he watches the other’s movements is formidable ---- even for the likes of gaara, who radiates a fixed amount as it is simply by just being himself. with the same amount of careful concentration -- not to mention, uncertain hesitation -- he raises his hand to beside his head, fingers curling awkwardly, almost as if strained. his gaze falters, bewildered beyond comprehension, and sincerely doubting the necessity of kankuro’s questions after all.  ❝  ... n ---- nya? ❞ he repeats, his volume barely above a whisper and leaving a hanging question mark in the air that if not for it being metaphoric, would be audible from the sheer power of the confusion he feels in that moment.

quirkerased.

     he’s not quite sure what to expect when he lopes over to gaara’s desk on the boy’s command – but he finds himself looking down at a tidy little cat sculpted from the sand gaara keeps on him with a certain measure of surprise. “…so i surmised.”

     it’s not entirely clear why gaara’s chosen to create a sand-cat in the middle of his study period, but the way he looks from it to aizawa gives him the impression that gaara made it for him specifically. huh. “that’s well-made. an interesting application of your quirk.” a pause. “make sure you don’t leave sand on the desk when you’re done, though.”

          the first year’s gaze does not leave his teachers for the duration of their exchange, but his expression continues to lack any kind of inclination towards a particular emotion.  ❝   you don’t need to concern yourself with that. where i go, my sand will follow me.   ❞  gaara speaks in a forward, but nonetheless informative manner.  ❝   you will keep it.  ❞  he means to say that it’s a gift, although his statement does indicate a command more than anything else. without anything further, a collective of sand rises from out of the back of his gourd and it lifts the statue, holding it in the air and stopping it there, as if handing it to him. upon closer inspection, the cat bears a startling resemblance to kushami -- who gaara has never met.

❛   Yes, I am honored !  That you would have this level of trust in me is truly something that warms my heart ! Please, tell me what it is and I will do my best to answer ! ❜ 

❝   ... yes.  can you tell me the meaning of the word... nya? kankuro, my brother... he has repeatedly asked me if i know, ‘like, nya.’ as kazekage, i feel like it’s my responsibility to know, however... i don’t. ❞
