Even though this topic had already been discussed many tis in Kirigakure, this ti, it was different.
This ti, it was Rasa, the Kazekage, who asked the question in front of Chukichi, the Mizukage.
Even if Chukichi did not answer, it was enough to stir up discussion around the topic once again.
With the appearance of the new Mizukage, Yagura's supporters had already beco fewer and fewer.
Yagura's foundation had never been very stable to begin with.
He had only gotten the chance to succeed as Mizukage because Kirigakure's upper echelon had declined.
Furthermore, Yagura had not held office for long.
A short ti ant little accumulation.
In addition, aside from suppressing the Six-Tails rampage, the only things Yagura had done were defeat a few sailing groups.
Such achievents were far from enough.
Because of that, in this round of discussion, even more people believed that Yagura had persecuted the Seven Ninja Swordsn.
"Yagura is the sinner of Kirigakure!"
"If not for him, the village would never have lost!"
"The worst Mizukage in history. No, he's simply the worst Kage in history. No other Kage could be this terrible."
…
The expressions of Chukichi and the other Kiri higher-ups did not look good.
But none of that had anything to do with Rasa.
The instant the system points rushed to four thousand, Rasa started the lottery wheel.
An invisible wheel slowly began to spin.
To maximize his benefits, Rasa still divided the four thousand points into two rounds of draws.
One thirty-draw to obtain the small guarantee.
One ten-draw, which was also the hundredth draw for this rumor, to obtain the large guarantee.
The results of the two draws appeared almost simultaneously.
[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained an F-rank item: One tael of gold.]
…
[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a B-rank item: One-Day Truth Card.]
[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a B-rank item:]
…
[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained an A-rank item: Antlion Hell (S-rank Ninjutsu).]
…
[Congratulations, Host. You have completed the hundredth draw and triggered the guarantee. You have obtained an S-rank item: Otsutsuki Bloodline, 5%.]
"A new card?"
Rasa looked over.
[One-Day Truth Card.]
[—Six nas will appear at random. You may choose one of them. After use, the chosen person will only speak the truth for the next twenty-four hours.]
Rasa raised a brow.
If this card was used on the right person, and at exactly the right ti, its effect would be excellent.
Then Rasa looked toward the A-rank prize from this draw.
[Antlion Hell!]
[—Creates a large-scale desert depression hell. Quicksand will continuously flow downward and inward, making it difficult for anyone trapped inside to break free until they are completely buried deep underground.]
"A large-range binding and damage-type ninjutsu."
"When used in the desert, it will receive a huge enhancent."
After all, the desert itself contained massive amounts of sand. He did not need to consu additional chakra to create it.
Only after that did Rasa look at the grand guarantee prize.
"Use it!"
The next mont, Rasa once again felt a familiar power surge into his body.
Imdiately afterward, his body began changing rapidly.
His physique strengthened.
His chakra rose.
…
"Twenty percent bloodline concentration."
Rasa carefully sensed the changes in his body.
"It has brought a massive increase in chakra volu."
"My current chakra reserves are no worse than the Uzumaki clan, who are famous for their chakra volu. And not just an ordinary Uzumaki—an Uzumaki who has stepped into Kage level. I'm equal to who knows how many Kakashi now."
The match in the arena finally reached its conclusion.
"The winner is Mangetsu Hozuki!"
Rasa's gaze shifted over.
Mangetsu Hozuki.
A genius of the Hozuki clan, soone capable of perfectly wielding all seven ninja swords.
Unfortunately, he was a genius who never managed to grow up.
He barely made any moves before he died.
He had been born with a weak body.
Kirigakure had another genius with poor health as well.
Ringo Ayuri.
Two days later, the Sand Sailing Group was officially established.
On the sa day, the Fire Sailing Group, Earth Sailing Group, and Lightning Sailing Group were also established.
The four great shinobi villages each reached different levels of cooperation with Kirigakure and the Land of Water.
War did not break out.
Struggle could not be avoided.
But no matter what, on this day, the Great Age of Sailing seed to have truly begun.
One figure after another.
One ship after another.
They headed toward the depths of the sea.
"Raise the sails!"
"Set sail!"
"Forward! Forward! Forward!"
"…"
Countless people looked toward the boundless ocean, excitent appearing on their faces.
After returning to Sunagakure—
"Kazekage-sama."
"Ebizo, what is it?"
Rasa was sowhat surprised by Ebizo's arrival.
The current Ebizo was constantly busy. He barely had ti to rest.
"Kazekage-sama, a few days ago, Konoha ninja infiltrated our territory to investigate the Sun Disc."
"Did they enter the inner periter?"
"No."
"What a pity."
A regretful expression appeared on Rasa's face.
Once Konoha ninja entered the inner periter, the Sun Disc would attack them indiscriminately. Very few ninja could survive an attack from the Sun Disc.
"Who ca?"
"Minato Namikaze."
Rasa's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Minato Namikaze ca personally?"
That surprised Rasa sowhat.
It was only an intelligence probe. There was no need for Minato Namikaze to act personally.
Rasa had expected other shinobi villages to investigate the Sun Disc. In the shinobi world, such things were unavoidable.
But Rasa was not worried.
The Sun Disc was extrely special.
Once soone entered within three kiloters of it, anyone who had not obtained a mark would suffer the Sun Disc's attack.
And within the village, there were not many people who understood the Sun Disc.
Even if intelligence was obtained, it would only be surface-level information.
As long as the blueprints were not leaked, Sunagakure would suffer no losses.
And the complete blueprints were only in the hands of Rasa and Chiyo.
On top of that, the Sun Disc required a massive amount of sunlight resources. Aside from Sunagakure, the other shinobi villages did not have such abundant conditions.
Especially Kumogakure and Kirigakure.
"I understand. There should be no need to worry too much."
"But for the construction of the second Sun Disc, we need to be more careful. The people chosen must be strictly selected. We absolutely cannot allow ninja from other villages to infiltrate."
Rasa was worried that Minato Namikaze might return.
With the Flying Thunder God Technique, Rasa was completely unafraid if it ca to battle.
But if Minato ca to Sunagakure to steal sothing, took it, and imdiately ran—
That would be genuinely difficult to chase down.
Especially since Minato could set up Flying Thunder God marks in advance.
Just like Rasa could set up Sand Soldiers in advance.
But very soon, Rasa discovered that he no longer needed to worry about that.
"Major news! Major news!"
"A Tailed Beast rebellion has broken out in Konoha!"
"The casualties are extrely heavy. The losses are extrely severe."
"Even Minato Namikaze died on the Night of the Nine-Tails!"
Hearing the news, Rasa froze.
Then a sowhat emotional expression appeared on his face.
"So this day has finally co."
