"What? We're not going with you!" Rasa said reluctantly. Why bother with something unnecessary when we could complete the mission without doing anything?
Besides, based on his experience from the last dungeon run, Minato Namikaze might get beaten up if he entered the Uchiha Clan's territory.
He had experienced the same thing himself, so he didn't want to repeat it now.
Why don't you go by yourself? The rest of us aren't going to follow you.
"What does Raikage think?" Ōnoki turned his gaze to Ai.
Can I go? Don't you know who I am? If the people of Konoha saw me here, who knows what they would think? Besides, where can I find reinforcements? Should I go to the Hyuga Clan?
Ai felt it was best not to wander around Konoha freely, given his status; after all, his purpose in coming here was simply to obtain the reward.
"I'm not going either. Since we can complete the mission without lifting a finger, there's no need to strain my old back," Ōnoki said.
At this point, only Mei Terumi remained undecided, torn between the reward for completing the mission and the handsome guy.
Therefore Mei Terumi chose the handsome guy without hesitation.
I'll go with him.
Although Mei Terumi was willing to go, Minato Namikaze didn't want her to go with him. It was reasonable for him to go alone, but it was a bit unreasonable to bring along the future Mizukage of Kirigakure.
"Don't worry, I won't hold you back. I can pretend to be your Anbu!" Mei Terumi quickly said.
"What do you mean by 'my Anbu'?" Minato Namikaze sensed something was off, but then he thought that having more people meant more strength, so he agreed to Mei Terumi's request.
"Alright, farewell then." Rasa quickly waved to them.
Little did they know that the outside world was in complete chaos. Just as the group entered the instance, the scene from the instance suddenly appeared in the sky outside.
It seems this broken system can evolve on its own, even paying attention to the audience's emotions.
By this time, the people outside were on the verge of arguing because of their differences.
[Chiyo: Nonsense! Rasa is delaying our Sunagakure! He's so foolish!]
[Kitsuchi: Shouldn't Father have gone with us?]
[Dodai: We can't move now, we should run.]
It's rare for the Kumogakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure to all simultaneously point their fingers at Rasa.
Can't you have any sense of teamwork? Look at Mei Terumi, she put aside her personal grudges for the sake of the mission and stepped in to save Konoha.
Look at yourself, Rasa, and see how narrow-minded you are.
[Kushina: Why does this woman seem a little strange towards Minato?!]
Kushina keenly sensed something amiss. Of course, this didn't mean that Mei Terumi liked Minato Namikaze, but Mei Terumi liked all handsome men.
Who can blame him Minato is so good-looking?
[Ao: As expected of the future Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure, his magnanimity, strategy, and foresight are truly beyond my reach.]
[Kisame: Well, even so, I don't agree with the idea that Mei Terumi is the Fifth Mizukage. After all, Mangetsu -sama also contributed to Kirigakure.]
Now that Kisame had chosen to follow Hozuki Mangetsu, he naturally couldn't let his master lose face.
"Me!" Zabuza Momochi actually wanted to say that he also wanted to become the Mizukage, but after thinking about it, he realized he couldn't beat either of them, so he decided against it.
I'll wait until I level up with Prototype Archaic before competing with them. At that time, I'll also recruit a follower who will flatter me.
The remaining three sat silently on the ground, but the sense of smell brought by the Kage Level expert made it impossible for them to calm down.
"Why do I feel a little restless?" Ōnoki muttered to himself.
"Your intuition is quite accurate, Two Scales!" A familiar voice came from behind.
I feel like I'm hearing Lord Madara's voice, but it must be a hallucination.
"Not good!"
At this moment, Ōnoki, who had suddenly stood up, quickly called for Rasa to drink the Fourth Raikage A.
His gaze then fixed on the bushes from which the sound came, where a person clad in armor slowly emerged.
"Madara!" Ōnoki stared intently at the figure in front of him, his heart filled with shock.
"An enemy?" At this moment, Raikage A also noticed Madara Uchiha. Why was he here?
"You seem a little nervous, Ōnoki!"
Although Madara did not make a move at this moment, every word he uttered struck Ōnoki's heart, and the experience of being defeated by Madara in the past kept replaying in his mind.
They'd been careless; they finally realized what the previous mission meant. It turned out they'd been assigned a task by Lord Madara.
"Um, what brings you here, Lord Madara?" Rasa asked humbly, his previous arrogance completely gone.
Madara Uchiha alive right in front of me! Besides Sasuke Uchiha, who else would dare to act tough in front of him?
Rasa can only hope that Lord Madara descended with him, otherwise he'll really be doomed.
"Two Scales brats, I won't bully you. Come at me all at once." At this moment, Madara directly stated his intention to beat the three of them up.
Rasa's heart sank upon hearing this.
My name is Rasa, and I'm panicking. I'm practically at the Kage Level, and I've run into the Final Boss of our world. What should I do?
Seeing that Madara didn't seem to have bypassed him, Ōnoki knew they were doomed.
Lightning Release Armor!
"Don't be so arrogant, this Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!" At this moment, the Raikage's Chakra began to gather in his hand, and then he struck down at Madara Uchiha with all his might.
"Dust Release: Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!" Ōnoki didn't dare to be careless and immediately planned to use his strongest attack.
"Rasa, don't even think about escaping. You won't have that chance in front of Lord Madara!" Ōnoki casually reminded the sneaky Rasa beside him.
That kid definitely doesn't have any good ideas in mind.
Rasa was incredibly embarrassed to find his little scheme exposed. He had only wanted to find Madara Uchiha's weakness, not to run away.
[Ebizo: Rasa is such a disgrace to Sunagakure!]
[Pakura: It doesn't matter, wasn't this your choice?]
Pakura said in a mocking tone, after all, Rasa and Ebizo had played a significant role in Kazekage becoming Chiyo.
[Karura: Rasa, do your best!]
Right now, only Karura is genuinely cheering for Rasa.
