Being the Jinchuriki of Shukaku, the one tail beast, Gaara faced the death penalty when he battled the Akatsuki and eventually had his bijuu extracted. Does this extraction lead to the demise of Gaara?
Gaara died in Naruto Shippuden after his tailed beast, Shukaku, was extracted from his body by the Akatsuki members. However, an elder from the village named Chiyo sacrifices her life to revive him. Gaara dies in episode 17 of Naruto Shippuden, titled “The Death of Gaara.”
Sasori and Deidara (Akatsuki members) attacked the hidden village on a mission to kidnap Gaara. As the village’s Kazekage, Gaara fought the intruders to defend his village, but he couldn’t go all out as he had to look out for his people.
He was eventually defeated and taken to the Akatsuki temporary hideout to extract Shukaku and seal it inside of the Gedo Statue. The extraction process took 3 days and resulted in Gaara dying but he was brought back to life by lady Chiyo.
Why Did Chiyo Revive Gaara?
Chiyo revived Gaara using the One’s Own Life Reincarnation Jutsu to atone for making him a Jinchuriki. When Gaara died, Naruto lashes out and blames her for his death, saying that he would not have died if she had not sealed Shukaku within Gaara. Knowing that he is right, she sacrificed herself to make up for the past.
The One’s Own Life Reincarnation Jutsu is a forbidden Jutsu developed in Sunagakure’s Puppet Brigade. The technique’s initial purpose was to give life to puppets, increasing their efficiency in battle. However, it can also share life force with humans, both the living and the dead.
Using the technique on the living can save and restore the target from fatal damage but will severely drain the user. However, using the technique on the dead will kill the user in exchange for the deceased’s soul. If the user’s chakra is insufficient, a third party can support it, but only the actual user of the Jutsu will die.
