Besides the physical exhaustion, that scene conveys several things about Gaara if he remains true to his personality in Naruto Shippuden as Kazekage:
Mental exhaustion. Being Kazekage involves making constant decisions, resolving conflicts, and bearing the responsibility for the entire village. It's likely that you'll arrive with a fatigued mind, not just a tired body.
The need to let his guard down. Gaara almost never shows vulnerability in front of other people. The fact that he comes home and, without saying much, simply hugs her and hides his face in her neck indicates that he has found a place where he can stop being the Kazekage for a moment and simply be Gaara.
Seeking calm. He doesn't seem to be looking for conversation or solutions; just silence and closeness. Physical contact, in this case, serves as a way to regain tranquility after a long day.
Absolute trust. For someone as reserved as Gaara, leaning on another person like that is a huge show of trust. He doesn't need to explain what's wrong because he knows she'll understand he just needs a few minutes.
Possible emotional burden. Perhaps there were difficult meetings, decisions that left him dissatisfied, or simply the accumulated pressure of being a leader. People like Gaara tend to keep these emotions to themselves, so the exhaustion ends up being emotional as well.

The fight against Naruto marks a turning point. Seeing that Naruto also suffered loneliness, but chose to protect others instead of hating them, Gaara begins to question his way of life.

Then it becomes much calmer.
Learn to control your anger.
He begins to worry about his brothers and the Sand Village.
He seeks to earn the respect of others rather than instill fear.
Although he still maintains a serious expression and speaks little, he ceases to be a person dominated by hatred and begins to become someone serene, responsible, and protective. This growth is what ultimately leads him, some time later, to become the Fifth Kazekage.

Despite that cruelty, deep down Gaara is a boy who suffered immensely. From a young age, he was treated like a weapon and rejected even by his own village. The betrayal of the person he loved most ultimately convinced him that no one could ever love him.

At the beginning, Gaara is cold and distant: he speaks little and almost never shows positive emotions.
Violent and ruthless: he does not hesitate to kill anyone he considers a threat or simply an obstacle.
Extremely distrustful: he doesn't believe anyone could truly love him.
Solitary: He lives in isolation because everyone fears him for being the vessel of Shukaku.
Psychologically unstable: goes from absolute silence to fits of rage when he feels his life is in danger or when his past is remembered.
Proud of his strength: he believes that existence only has meaning if he proves that he is the strongest.

Gaara's design at this stage aims to show that he is still the same person, but profoundly transformed. He retains elements of his past—such as the gourd, the dark circles under his eyes, and the kanji on his forehead—but his more refined clothing, serene posture, and tranquil expression reflect that he no longer lives to demonstrate his strength, but to protect his village.

His attire perfectly represents his new position as Kazekage.
She wears a tunic of dark maroon or reddish-brown color, with a high collar and long sleeves.
Over it he wears a short vest in sand or beige, held by a single diagonal strap across the chest, giving him a practical look without being flashy.
Over one shoulder he wears the classic white cloak of the Kazekage, adorned with blue trim and the kanji that identifies his rank. The cloak falls elegantly and symbolizes his leadership of the Sand Village.
He wears dark pants and traditional shinobi sandals.
The enormous sand gourd remains strapped to his back. Although it is still his primary weapon, it now also serves as a symbol of his identity and the responsibility he carries on his shoulders.

Physical traits:
Gaara maintains a slim and slender build, is of average height, and always has an upright posture. His movements are calm and precise; he almost never makes exaggerated gestures.
Her face has fine, youthful features:
Intense red hair, short and slightly disheveled, with a natural fringe that falls over the forehead.
Light green or turquoise eyes, with a penetrating but calm gaze.
The characteristic dark circles under her eyes are still present, giving her a serious and somewhat melancholic appearance.
The scar with the kanji 「愛」 ("love") remains on the left side of his forehead, a reminder of his past and the decision he made as a child.
Although his expression is usually neutral, it no longer conveys madness or bloodlust; now it inspires calm, self-control, and a quiet authority.

Gaara has dark red hair, aquamarine eyes with deep black circles that give him the appearance of someone who never rests. On his forehead he bears the kanji 「愛」 ("love"), a scar he inflicted upon himself to symbolize that he would only love himself. He always carries a huge sand gourd on his back, which contains the sand he uses in battle.
