Sunagakure.
Rasa was very unwilling. The cancellation of Konoha Crush Plan made him full of resentment towards Orochimaru.
You were the one who found me, and you were the one who took the initiative to cancel me. Who do you Orochimaru take me Rasa to be?!
It comes when you call it, and it goes away when you wave it?
However, no matter how unwilling Rasa is, it is useless. Hidden Sand is not as powerful as Konoha. Why did he agree to Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha? Isn't it because Konoha's growing strength makes Rasa worried about the development of Hidden Sand.
If Orochimaru does not participate, relying on the strength of Rasa alone, against Konoha, it will undoubtedly kill a thousand enemies and lose a thousand to himself. The loss outweighs the gain. It will only make Hidden Sand fall into trouble and be swallowed up by other Ninja Village.
Ninja World, is never peaceful.
Ninjas are not a product of peace, but a product of darkness.
Moreover, there is now Naruto Uzumaki who has even more strength than Kage Level. Konoha exists. Rasa cannot understand it. A twelve-year-old boy has the strength of Kage Level and is still Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?
Konoha, are you so blessed?
Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, Uchiha Madara, these are all powerful characters that Konoha has produced, and they are the kind of powerful ninjas who can defeat other Ninja Village shadows.
Without the presence of Naruto, Rasa is a little afraid to fight Konoha.
Not to mention knowing the existence of Naruto now, Rasa is even less afraid, but when thinking about Hidden Sand's situation, Rasa is very sad. Now, he can only hope that his three children can test out Naruto Uzumaki's position.
You all blame Orochimaru!
Rasa When I think of Orochimaru, my teeth itch with hatred.
They say don't talk about people during the day and don't talk about ghosts at night. No, a subordinate ran over, holding a letter and said respectfully, "Lord Kazekage, I have your secret message."
Rasa took the secret letter, opened the sealing wax, and began to read the letter. After reading the letter, Rasa suddenly had a smile on his face. The letter was written by Orochimaru, saying that he was now going to restart Konoha Crush Plan and asked for Rasa's cooperation to meet and talk.
There is an address inside, not far from Hidden Sand.
"Orochimaru, I hope you don't play tricks on me, otherwise, I will make you pay the price." Rasa thought in his heart, and he said to the subordinate who came to deliver the letter, "Go and call Mr. Baki over."
"Hi, Lord Kazekage." The subordinate immediately turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, there's no need to go." Kazekage suddenly stopped his subordinate. He suddenly remembered that Baki did not agree with him fighting Konoha, so calling Baki over might cause trouble.
Thinking like this, Rasa found two Jonin from Hidden Sand and went to meet Orochimaru.
Soon, Rasa came to the place agreed by Orochimaru. Standing on the rock, Rasa saw Orochimaru below, as well as two young ninjas.
Orochimaru had long sensed the arrival of Rasa and others, so he said calmly, "Rasa, come down when you come. I don't like to look up and talk to people."
"Orochimaru, I want to know why you canceled Konoha Crush Plan before. As a partner, I think I am qualified to know." Rasa jumped down with two of his subordinates, truly the opposite of Orochimaru, and asked.
"All you care about is whether to continue to implement the collapse plan for Konoha. As for the previous reasons for cancellation, I think it is of no use to you." Orochimaru said sadly.
"What you said makes sense." Rasa nodded, looked at Orochimaru, and continued, "I think you should know that Konoha produced a very powerful ninja named Naruto Uzumaki."
"Oh, I almost forgot, you once died in his hands." Rasa joked.
In response to Rasa's teasing, Orochimaru was not angry, but said, "Rasa, I know your worries. Isn't it just that you are worried that Naruto Uzumaki will side with Konoha."
"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Kabuto Yakushi. He is the spy I placed in Konoha. He has been growing up in Konoha since he was a child. He knows the details very clearly." Orochimaru pointed at Kabuto Yakushi.
Kabuto Yakushi immediately stood up and saluted Rasa first, "Lord Kazekage." Then Kabuto Yakushi said, "Lord Kazekage Please don't worry, we have investigated Naruto Uzumaki's details, Naruto Uzumaki is not on the same page as Konoha. When he was young, he was always treated coldly by the people in the village because of his identity as Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so Naruto Uzumaki has never liked the people in the village. If we attack Konoha, Naruto Uzumaki will definitely look on with cold eyes."
"Furthermore, according to my investigation, Naruto Uzumaki has some grudges with contemporary Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi." This is nonsense told by Kabuto Yakushi in order to paralyze Rasa.
Sure enough, Rasa's face relaxed after listening to it. It seemed that Rasa was indeed worried about Naruto Uzumaki's affairs before.
"In that case, Orochimaru, you canceled Konoha Crush Plan's plan because you failed to investigate Naruto Uzumaki's position. Now that the investigation is clear, you restarted the plan?" Rasa looked at Orochimaru and asked tentatively.
Orochimaru opened his mouth. I don't know how Rasa figured it out. However, for a dying person, Orochimaru was very generous. He nodded, "Not bad."
Rasa suddenly showed a look that was indeed the case.
"Gaara is still at Konoha. When you go back, follow the previous plan..." Orochimaru said.
Gaara is an important part of the plan, the purpose is to release One-Tails Shukaku to attract firepower.
Rasa nodded and said, "Okay, I will pass the news on."
The matter was almost over, and Rasa was ready to leave. Before leaving, Rasa looked at Orochimaru and said again, "I hope this time Orochimaru you won't let me down again."
"Don't worry." Gaara licked his lips and said with a sinister smile.
"Let's go." After glancing at Orochimaru and the others, Rasa called to his subordinates and turned around to leave.
The moment Rasa turned around, Orochimaru took action directly, Shadow Snake Hands, and dozens of large snakes with phosphorus spots spat out letters and attacked Rasa directly.
As Orochimaru's B-level Ninjutsu, it is Ninjutsu that summons many more snakes than Hidden Shadow Snake Limbs, thus improving the diversity. Multiple big snakes summoned in an instant perform tasks such as intimidation, containment, and capture, achieving the effect of multiple combos.
He was already restrained before the other party could react.
This move was a surprise. Now that Rasa believed Orochimaru's lies, it was the easiest time to defend.
Seeing Orochimaru take action, Kabuto Yakushi and Kimimaro also made quick moves. Their target was Hidden Sand Jonin brought by Rasa.
Kabuto Yakushi went up and instantly blocked a Hidden Sand Jonin.
At the same time, Kimimaro quickly took off his shirt, and Kekkei Genkai exploded directly, rushing towards the remaining Hidden Sand Jonin.
My neck hurts so much that I can't sleep, so I'd better get up and write slowly. After writing and taking a rest, I can always write a chapter...
