'Gaara of the sand' is one of the most iconic characters created by Masashi Kishimoto.

Gaara was introduced as the cold-hearted Chunin examinee who had the power to kill anybody. It was a couple of episodes later we found out he was a Jinchuuriki like Naruto.

Masashi Kishimoto created Gaara as someone who had a similar childhood to Naruto. Gaara's life was the outcome of everything that was wrong in the ninja world.

Hated by his fellow villagers, lonely Gaara became something that could destroy all villages. As a child, when Gaara found out no one wants to play with him he wrote 'love' on his forehead with his own sand.

Masashi Kishimoto made Gaara the person who took the wrong path. One day, after fighting Naruto, Gaara understood the real meaning of power, friendship, and bonds.

Naruto took his hand and guided him to the right path and Gaara became one of his closest friends like Sasuke Uchiha. Later in anime, Gaara became the hope of the Sand village and saved the village numerous times.

We know every anime lover will want to go through some Gaara quotes which constitute some of the best 'Naruto' quotes. We have a list of Naruto-Gaara quotes, Gaara quotes in Naruto, Naruto Shippuden quote by Gaara, quotes about Gaara, and quotes from Gaara.
