A brow quirked with amusement when Naruto asked if Luke was from another ninja village. He could certainly comprehend his confusion, though… Facility wasn’t the name of any village that he was aware of. (Then again, Naruto had traveled over the world with Jiraiya, so perhaps he came across more villages than Gaara’s personal knowledge.)
He appreciated Luke’s explanation, because his own would have been considerably vaguer. It wasn’t a simple concept to accept, and he might not have, if he hadn’t actually experienced it. Even space/time jutsu wasn’t common for most ninja from their world. He would also need to mention that he had seen multiple versions of Naruto appearing at the facility, along with many shinobi from his village…
“Your explanation is comprehensible, Luke,” Gaara reassured him in a calm tone, brows furrowing as he thought of what else he should add. “Some individuals are derived from different time periods, Naruto. For instance, Temari recalled events from the recent war, but Kankuro had yet to experience them.”
Gaara himself came from the farthest point back in time, since Shukaku hadn’t been extracted from him yet. And every Naruto he met at the facility possessed their own set of unique memories, which made it more difficult to connect with them. The experiments that had taken place – he would rather not disclose them to Naruto, lest he become upset. Like on Valentine’s Day, when Sakura and Shikamaru had their hearts forcibly removed, amongst other occurrences. If Naruto had questions of his own, then he would answer them, but… not without first knowing where his primary concerns resided.
“......”
He was still learning how to identify emotions in general, but he thought Luke’s tone seemed… to hold a level of pain in it. Gaara briefly touched his arm, understanding that he felt upset due to the memory of his roommate, from the hotel. Not to mention, all of the friends and comrades that he left behind, on Auldrant. To his knowledge, Luke had yet to see any of them, despite having traveled to two worlds already, after departing from his original home.
