"A soul needs a purpose to live... and so I concluded that my purpose was to kill everyone besides myself. I felt alive..."

This quote is spoken by Gaara (Gaara of the Desert) during the Naruto series, reflecting his early philosophy before his redemption. It captures his isolation and belief that his purpose was destruction, born from his traumatic childhood as a jinchuriki. Naruto is the protagonist who ultimately helps Gaara change this worldview.
