- He believed that it was his purpose to kill everyone;
- Gaara was made as foil to Naruto — an example of what would happen if Naruto had nobody;

Everyone from his village only accepted him as a weapon — to protect the homeland. Those moments in solitude would give Gaara too much time to reflect on himself and his purpose. What Naruto was quick to understand is that having peers, comrades, and friends is what brings life light — and that in fact, is true love.
