okay i dont HATE gaanaru or anything,, but i just wanna say, but people that try to claim that naruto was gaaras first true friend, the first person there for him, the first person to hurt him, ARE WRONG!!!
ROCK LEE WAS!!! ROCK LEE WAS THE FIRST FIRST TO HURT GAARA, TO MAKE HIM BLEED, TO MAKE HIM FEEL SOMETHING!!! THE ONE THING GAARA CRAVED TO DO SO BADLY!!!
and just agh– they fought in the chunin exams, yesyes, but then gaara went out of HIS way to help rock lee. and like yes ik, naruto was also there on that mission, and that missions purpose was to get sasuke back– but none of that even matters to me rn cause that is the first time gaara is ever remotely kind to another person. and that means everything to me.
the first person he decided to make amends with was the boy who's life he almost took just a few months prior. I fucking love them.
and even still, gaara was so embarrassed about the whole trying to kill him thing, that he never even officially apologized for it. BUT– its cannon in one of the naruto video games (not sure which one) that gaara does feel deeply sorry for what he did to rock lee, and wants to apologize, and thinks about it a lot.
AND ROCK LEE DOESNT EVEN CARE. HES SO SWEET, AND HE LIKES GAARA SO MUCH THAT HE DOESNT EVEN CARED HE TRIED TO KILL HIM A FEW TIMES..
(also just back to the gaanaru thing, I also just like, totally see them as brothers. like they needed each other growing up, they understand each other so much, like siblings. idk just had to throw that out there)
