Like Kankurō, her relationship with Gaara has greatly improved after he sought redemption after being reformed by Naruto. Despite this, during the short time between then and the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, she no longer expressed fear around him, having been one of the first to accept the new Gaara. When Gaara and Kankurō were fighting, she showed a light, happy, mood to make sure Gaara didn't harm her or Kankurō. Temari dreams of her siblings trusting her and occasionally asking her for advice.ĭuring the Chūnin Exams, it is revealed that the one person she is afraid of is Gaara. In Part II, her value for peace increased, as she acts as a diplomatic liaison between Sunagakure and Konohagakure to prepare for the next Chūnin Exams, as well as by risking her life several times during the Kage Summit and the Fourth Shinobi World War to save her comrades, it didn't matter if they were from her village or not as it initially did for other shinobi. However, Temari seems to value peace, as she questioned the reasoning of starting a war with Konoha in Part I. In Part I, similar to her siblings, she was rather dismissive with a cruel streak which was demonstrated when Gaara killed Team Shigure she simply smiled and waved goodbye to them before they were crushed. Temari is a prudent, stoic and blunt individual who is rarely afraid to speak her mind, a trait she would later pass on to her son. She also used to play with Sen and Yome when they were little girls. One boy, however, Daimaru, would spend much time around her, albeit always to play pranks on her. In the anime, growing up as a relative to the Fourth Kazekage and Gaara, Temari had a hard time making friends as everyone was always intimidated by her lineage. While it was customary for close relations to a Kage to be a jinchūriki, neither she nor her younger brother Kankurō were compatible with the One-Tail, so Gaara was chosen. Temari was born the eldest child of Karura and the Fourth Kazekage: Rasa.
