Analysis
As Gaara continues to reminisce about Yashamaru, he remembers Yashamaru’s statement about his mother’s death and his uncle’s suicide bombing. Though Gaara survived the blast (thanks to the sand shield), he lost the only person who ever cared for him. From then on, Gaara came to love only himself and started to find purpose in killing others. This is a continuation of the flashback Gaara had in the previous episode. The information explains Gaara’s past and how he now finds purpose in killing others. It’s his way of having a reason to exist in the world.
Returning to the present, Gaara keeps his grip on Sakura with his sand claw, choking her to death. Gaara, feeling deranged, asks Naruto to play a game with him, saying that if he can beat him, Sakura will be set free. Determined to save Sakura, an enraged Naruto violently attacks Gaara, and they engage in battle. Naruto, in this case, wants to protect Sakura because she is one of his first friends. Naruto values friendship and risks his life to save his friends. He is applying the lesson he learned with Kakashi when they first met: the value of friendship. Therefore, Naruto is a round character who seems like a real person who cares about his friends. In the next episode, there will be a battle between Naruto and Gaara, which makes it interesting.
