Naruto: Getting Stronger by Drinking

Rasa felt a pang of bitterness at the thought, but there was nothing he could do.

It was not because Rasa loved Sunagakure so deeply that he was willing to devote everything to it.

Rather, the reason he had been able to take the seat of the Fourth Kazekage was because he could extract Gold Dust.

For Sunagakure, located in the desert, this was of vital importance.

Still, Rasa had never been troubled by it. After all, once he became Kazekage, his status and position spoke for themselves.

He only needed to extract some Gold Dust in his spare time to keep Sunagakure's Elder Council quiet.

But who could have imagined that he would run into a monster like Saiki Yuu right after taking office?!

Not only had Saiki Yuu slashed him, but he also had to scrape together enough funding money for Saiki Yuu. Once he returned to Sunagakure, he would have to turn into a "miner" extracting Gold Dust. Just thinking about it gave Rasa the urge to die.

Looking at Danzo, who had clearly been "forced" into becoming a labor overseer, Rasa suddenly felt a sense of shared misery and could not help sighing.

"If you keep looking at me like that, I'll kill you!"

Danzo shuddered violently and snarled through gritted teeth.

That look made Danzo even more uncomfortable than the strange looks from before.

"Ahem. May I ask if Lord Yuu is in Konoha? I would like to pay him a visit."

Rasa came back to his senses, lowered his stance, and asked.

"..."

Seeing Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, acting so humble, and then recalling how Kitsuchi had been even more respectful than Rasa, Danzo's face twitched as jealousy flooded his heart.

Damn it, he was so jealous!

He had lived for so many years
