Why is Gaara good?

He's always calm. Until he gets bloodthirsty.

And being on the goodside?? I dont think there ever was one. Or a dark side for Gaara. I think he's moraless. Just doing whatever he's supposed to do for the Sand. He's under orders. Since the Sand is now allianced with the Leaf.

Gaara isn't just a killing machine. If not he would have massacred the Sand clan long ago. In fact he's been quite a good boy all the time during the gennin exams.

Leave the 1vs1 fights behind for a moment and check your long range sensors.

The world is at war when the first Hokage appears. He ends the war, brings stability and peace, and founds the leaf. After him all the hokages seek peace. Then, at the time of the 1st's granddaughter being the 5th hokage, appears a brat that is related to the 4th and that has the power to change the peoples hearts and minds - seeking to become hokage, following his own way without killing were possible. *Spin the manga wheel of time* The brat will become Hokage, unite the villages and bring lasting peace (maybe against one big bad enemy).

So why did Garra become good? Because the plot needs him to do so. To finish the epic scale story Naruto needs friends in other countries and other villages. Gaara will get more and more friendly and maybe Naruto will help him to make a deal with shukaku similar to his one.

He still dosent seem good to me. Just cause hes fighting with the leaf dosent make him good. Hes just following orders. So last time when he was at war with the leaf he isnt necisaritly evil since he was supposed to kill leafs. Just cause he enjoys fighting who cares sauske and naruto have both enjoyed fighting..its just perspective. Elessar to assume gaara is gonna get more and more friendly with naruto to the point were they have long talks and get starbucks together is an insane leap since all we have seen is Garra appear and save Lee and practically hurt him in the process. You shouldent state assumptions like its something you know will happen.

Sorry, but try to not only read the words but understand their meaning too.
It is clearly visible that my post describes my overall vision of Naruto and that all following conclusions derive from and work up to that vision. It is not my fault if you can't understand that and think I talk about stated facts. Maybe it is common in kindergarten to add to each sentence (This is a fact / this is my opinion), but I think the vast majority of users here have already left it and should behave accordingly. That includes a better understanding of language than a child.
No offence intended, just couldn't find more polite words to describe the situation.

Back to topic:
ATM Gaara is everything but Santa Claus, that's for sure. But continuing contact with Naruto will change him. "I kill, therefor I am" will change to "I protect precious people, therefor I am". Naruto will become a sort of Iruka for Gaara, accepting him purely for what he is and not what others see in him, I am very sure of that. Naruto knows the darkness Gaara felt and he knows why he could escape it. He has better eyes than anyone else, he sees inside people at a completely different scale (according to Neji). The time will come when Gaara helps/protects Naruto not because he is ordered to, but because he wants to.

he wears a long sleeve now

and he is paried up with lee... i wonder how this is gonna turn out cause kimimaro is suppose to be very strong

[Xceleration]

He turned good because during the fight with Naruto, he deeply realized the meaning of love and friendship. He realized when Naruto was beating him that fighting for others is what gave him his strength. He had a revelation and thought about Kankuro and Temari, and realized he'd never been good to them. That's why he said sorry when they carried him off. That was when he became good, because he realized he was wrong about loving only himself all this time. Naruto changed him, just like he changed Neji.

hmm, i think everybody is way to willing to accept that gaara is gonna be this fun loving guy when all we have see is that they are now the allies of the leaf. I mean they arent an evil village like the sound they were just pissy cause they were getting fubared by their politicians.

As far as prediction as to what gaara is gonna be like as an ally, i wanna compare the transformation to possibly a degree that we saw of neji. He was an arogant asshole before(still cool but an asshole nonetheless) but after naruto hes shifted way of thinking but is still the same hard core arrogant in battle character.

Gaara will probably be similar to this, even though he will not be as vicious as before i cant see him giving lee a hug and then being a nice guy from here on out, he will still be mysterious and kinda mean, but we will see some sort of definite change.
