Of course, Rasa had no intention of directly starting a war with the major ninja villages.
The timing was not mature enough.
What Rasa was thinking about were those smaller forces.
The more resources they had, the more Sun Disks they could build.
The more Sun Disks they had, the stronger Sunagakure's defensive capabilities would beco. At the sa ti, more land suitable for planting would beco available.
Suddenly—
Knock! Knock! Knock!
A burst of knocking sounded.
"Co in."
The other party pushed open the door of the Kazekage's office and entered.
It was a young ninja Rasa had no impression of.
"I have finished the interrogation."
There was no "Kazekage-sama."
Just that sentence.
Rasa raised a brow and imdiately understood.
This ninja was likely being controlled by Sasori of the Red Sand. His entire state seed very abnormal.
Sasori had turned him into a temporary puppet.
"I understand. Where are you?"
"et at the sa place as last ti."
"When?"
"Tonight."
"Fine."
The young ninja left the Kazekage Building and went downstairs.
Before long, his eyes suddenly regained clarity. But imdiately afterward, intense confusion appeared on his face.
"What happened to just now?"
"Why am I here?"
When night arrived, Rasa went to the place where he had last t Sasori.
Sasori took out a scroll.
"These are the things I extracted through interrogation. Aside from the Water Mirror Technique and the Clear Mirror Still Water Technique, there is also a piece of information that you should be interested in."
"I want to make an exchange."
"What exchange?"
"Remove that thing inside my body."
"That won't do."
"Then give Yagura's corpse. It's useless to you anyway."
Rasa saw through Sasori's thoughts at a glance.
"You intend to turn Yagura's corpse into a puppet?"
"He possessed excellent ninjutsu. He was also once a jinchuriki, and his corpse still contains remnants of Tailed Beast chakra. It truly is decent material for making a puppet."
"I can give you the corpse."
Rasa paused.
"But just the information extracted from Yagura's brain is not enough. What you're referring to is nothing more than certain intelligence about Kirigakure or the thod he used to control Tailed Beast chakra."
Sasori fell silent for a while.
"What else do you want?"
"Return the old Third Kazekage's corpse to Sunagakure."
Rasa said, "I know you hate the old Third Kazekage. You believe that because he insisted on war, your parents died at the hands of Konoha ninja. You think it was all his fault."
"To be honest, I don't like the old Third Kazekage either. He was rigid and stubborn."
"But whether a war ends or not is not sothing he alone could decide."
"Just like the war between Sunagakure and Kirigakure this ti."
"At the beginning, did Sunagakure get to end it just because we wanted to?"
"If the Kirigakure army had not been repelled and defeated, how could peace have co so easily?"
"Suppose the old Third Kazekage had proposed a ceasefire at the ti, and Konoha's condition for peace was for Sunagakure to hand over Elder Chiyo—who had killed many Konoha ninja—so she could die."
"Is that what you would have wanted to see?"
Sasori fell into an even longer silence.
Rasa continued, "If you want revenge, go find Konoha. Kill Hiruzen Sarutobi."
Sasori looked up at Rasa.
"And if I say no?"
It seed that Sasori's hatred toward the Third Kazekage had still not vanished, even though he had already killed him.
His parents' deaths were a knot in Sasori's heart that he could not untie.
There was also another reason.
In Sasori's eyes, the Third Kazekage's corpse was excellent material, perfectly suited to be turned into a puppet.
The sa as Yagura's corpse.
Rasa shrugged.
"Then don't even think about getting Yagura's corpse."
"You don't want the information I extracted?"
"If I don't have it, then so be it. I may not know any less about Kirigakure than you do."
"As for controlling Tailed Beasts… Sunagakure does not need Tailed Beasts and jinchuriki to coexist peacefully."
Rasa said, "For Tailed Beasts, I have a better place for them."
"Sasori, choose for yourself."
"Do you want the old Third Kazekage's corpse, or do you want Yagura Karatachi's corpse?"
Sasori thought for a long ti.
"Since you want the old Third Kazekage's corpse, then I'll give it to you."
As he spoke, Sasori took out two more scrolls.
"This one is the corpse."
"This one contains the other intelligence extracted through interrogation."
"Also, so ti ago, soone ca to find . They wanted to join their organization. They call themselves the Akatsuki. They said they want to change the world and need my strength."
"I wasn't their match, so I could only join."
"Those people are very strong."
Rasa pretended to reveal a surprised expression.
"Who? Which ninja village are they from?"
Sasori shook his head.
"They aren't from any ninja village. Their nas are Konan and Pain."
"How strong are they?"
"I don't know."
"In that case, join them for now. You can occasionally pass so information about them to . Of course, I can give you corresponding benefits."
"Fine."
The transaction between the two of them went fairly smoothly.
Rasa returned to Sunagakure with three scrolls.
As for the Six-Tails, it had been imprisoned beneath the Sun Disk, suppressed by the power of the Sun Disk.
Three scrolls.
One recorded the Water Mirror Technique, the Clear Mirror Still Water Technique, and other techniques.
One recorded a thod approaching that of a perfect jinchuriki.
One contained the corpse of the Third Kazekage.
"When the timing is right, the old Third Kazekage can be buried."
…
…
Konoha.
A figure quickly ran into the Hokage Building.
"Hokage-sama, this is bad!"
"What is it now?"
The mont Hiruzen Sarutobi heard that tone from the ANBU ninja, irritation surged uncontrollably in his heart.
Recently, Konoha had truly been too unlucky.
First ca the Nine-Tails' rampage, then the deaths of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, causing Hiruzen's entire plan to fail.
After that, rumors appeared.
They said Minato Namikaze had been killed by him, that he coveted the Hokage position and deliberately eliminated Minato.
And quite a few people actually believed it.
"Those idiots."
"Those damned idiots!"
Now, seeing the ANBU ninja like this, Hiruzen guessed there was a high chance it was bad news again.
"Hokage-sama, the newest issue of Ninja Major Events Weekly has been released. It contains an interview with Uchiha Yashiro. Uchiha Yashiro comnted on both the Nine-Tails rampage and Minato-sama's death."
Hiruzen's face instantly turned ugly.
He did not even need to read it to know what Uchiha Yashiro would say.
Uchiha Yashiro was not the key point.
Ninja Major Events Weekly was the key point.
Sunagakure was the key point.
Rasa was the key point.
"That brat Rasa!"
