light and dark

uzumaki naruto and sabaku no gaara

I admit -- I don't like Naruto as much as I used to. I've pretty much grown out of my teenage otaku stage and moved onto bigger and better things. After a while, the humongous, heaving fanbase gets difficult to put up with if you don't happen to be one of the fanfiction-churning, yaoi-loving, drama-thriving majority. What hasn't changed is what I've thought of the oft-overlooked relationship between my two of my favorite characters in the series -- that between Uzumaki Naruto, the upbeat hero, and Gaara, a coldblooded killer who's more like him than anyone ever thought.

This tribute is home to a collection of profiles, synopses, and essays detailing their relationship, and why I found it so interesting. It's a dynamic both like and unlike the main Naruto-Sasuke bond, and hopefully this site will help you see its simple, sweet, truth, despite its intricacies. Please note that I have no intention of making this into a "pairing" site, where I try to force the "truth" of a coupling upon you -- I don't even support Gaara and Naruto as a couple.
