Wanting to Punch Someone

The Sand Village was both poor and short on people, so there was not much oil to squeeze out of it. On the contrary, in order to set a good example as leaders, the higher-ranking a ninja was, the more of their earnings they had to hand over to the village.

So, sometimes, being an official in the Sand Village...

Was physically exhausting, emotionally painful, and financially ruinous!

Just look at Rasa. If nothing unexpected happened and he became the Kazekage as planned... he would practically be the village's father~

Whenever they ran short of money... he would immediately go prospecting for gold in the desert, supporting the entire village.

And during this period, who knew how Moomu had managed to get by~

He had no money. He reported to his superiors that this side might not hold out much longer and asked them to send reinforcements, but in the end... all that came were a bunch of Kids and their Chunin instructors. What use were five or six teams of them...?

But to hold the border of the Land of Wind and prevent the Grass Ninja and Stone Ninja from successfully penetrating deep into the country, he had no choice but to... fill the gaps with human lives.

Now that he had seen Lord Rasa, who had originally disappeared and been presumed dead, return in strength—and charge straight into the Kusagakure camp to fight without saying a word—Moomu was excited. All the Sand Ninja were excited. After two months of suffering through this stifling war, they could finally counterattack!

If the Iwagakure and Kusagakure had not been worried about causing too many casualties in the early stages, deliberately controlling the pace of the war, waiting for news from Kumogakure and Sunagakure, and preparing to drag down the defensive line on the Sunagakure side, then... they would have collapsed long ago.

At once...

Filled with excitement, all the Sand Ninja charged toward Kusagakure at the roar of their temporary commander, Moomu.

"Lord Kitsuchi, what should we do now?"

Looking at the Grass Ninja trapped in a desperate situation and surrounded by one man over there, the Stone Ninja frowned slightly and asked the commander beside him.

"It is indeed the Third Kazekage's disciple, Rasa, but... there's been no news of him for more than two months. What exactly happened during that time?"

"This matter requires attention." Kitsuchi nodded, also frowning slightly as he stared at the situation over at Kusagakure. "And..."

His tone suddenly grew solemn...

"Didn't you discover that this Rasa suffered a mental trauma because of the Third Kazekage and became mentally unstable? What's going on now?"

Besides...

This strength... was truly terrifying.

Did the old man really possess this kind of strength?

He probably could, if Dust Release were included~

And there was that ability that could turn ninjas into dried corpses, as well as the ability to rapidly turn into sand when attacked.

Such incredible abilities... could they be some sort of kekkei genkai?

Especially that ability to turn into sand... was it really a special clone technique of Sunagakure?

Although he could not see the true situation at present, he still immediately had the Stone Ninja here record and assess the information.

As for Kusagakure...

Whether they went down to help now was no longer important. Their sacrifices had value, at least... they allowed Iwagakure to obtain more intelligence.

Besides... Kusagakure was Konoha's ally, not Iwagakure's ally!

Even the Uzumaki Clan, which had once been as close to Konoha as family, had now... heh heh~ Why should these Stone Ninja worry about so much?

"Quickly record the information, and analyze his strength and condition. Huh... that terrifying ability seems to have disappeared?"

However, just after Kitsuchi finished speaking...

"Lord Kitsuchi... the Sand Ninja... the Sand Ninja are coming too."

A minute soon came to an end. After Elementalization disappeared, Rasa had no choice but to rely on his ninja abilities to resist the Grass Ninja's attacks. It had to be said that after the initial shock, even though the card ability had now vanished, the Grass Ninja still did not dare act rashly,

But...

It was not long before.

"That strange ability seems like it can't last!"

"Everyone, get him!"

" avenge our fallen comrades!"

The Grass Ninja realized that the strange and terrifying ability on Rasa had truly disappeared. At once... their anger erupted, and they charged forward furiously.

Rasa knew that he could not stay here any longer. Through the messages carried by the dust, he knew that those Stone Ninja had actually approached long ago; they had merely been observing from the side. Once they discovered that his ability had disappeared and his strength had weakened... they would definitely do their best to kill him and take his corpse back to their village for research.

If ninjas wanted to obtain information... even a corpse could not keep it secret.

Facing the crazed Grass Ninja, he sighed helplessly inside. Looking at the Grass Ninja who were still alive and the camp that had not yet been destroyed, he murmured, "Time to retreat~"

However, just after he said that...

He suddenly looked into the distance...

A certain Grass Ninja, covered in blood and looking sickly and on the verge of death, took a bite of the arm of a Red-Haired Girl beside him. At once... he sprang back to life and began jumping around energetically!

His eyes immediately lit up. Could she be...

Red hair, enormous Chakra, and the ability to heal the injuries of the wounded.

There was absolutely no mistake!

Thinking of Karura's condition... although he could find a way to restore Karura's body as long as he worked hard and spent enough money using his cheat, why not take advantage of something readily available?

When the time came... he could have Karura bite her arm. Then she definitely would not suffer any complications during childbirth.

Besides...

He was doing a good deed. He was helping someone escape hell and accumulating virtue!

One bite... shouldn't be a problem, right?

Thinking this, Rasa immediately charged toward the medical ninja over there. I, Rasa... want to be a good person!

"Damn it, stop him!"

But the Grass Ninja instantly discovered his intentions and immediately arranged for more Grass Ninja to surround him. It had to be said that they still caused Rasa considerable trouble. Although a few Grass Ninja were nothing difficult to deal with, once he stopped, he might be trapped by all the Grass Ninja behind him.

This was the Grass Ninja army that had come to participate in the war, not one or two small teams out on a training exercise.

Even his previous sweeping attack had only dealt with part of them.

Therefore, to save time, Rasa directly gathered the Gold Dust around him and blocked the Grass Ninja charging over, making it impossible for them to approach.

"Damn it!"

The Grass Ninja commander's face turned livid. Looking at that Sand Ninja moving in and out seven times as if he were in an empty land, he knew that tomorrow... Kusagakure would become a laughingstock.

A laughingstock mocked by the entire shinobi world.

Another village's Sand Ninja—just one ninja, not even a Kage—had charged straight into their camp, while the Grass Ninja had no way to stop him... How could others not mock them?

Looking at the panicked ninjas in the medical ninja formation and the Grass Ninja who could not keep up with Rasa's pace,

The commander suddenly seemed to age a great deal.

This war... Kusagakure had already lost!

Then, his expression hardened as he looked at the panicked Uzumaki Clan Members over there, who had been taken in by the Grass Ninja after their country was destroyed.

"Kill her! Hurry and kill her!"

He...

As the commander of Kusagakure, he absolutely could not allow Kusagakure to be humiliated.

However, just as his voice fell...

"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Shield!"

Rasa could only helplessly protect that Uzumaki Clan Member from afar before continuing to charge forward. But as he gradually drew closer... the pressure on him also grew heavier. Just as he was wondering whether he should give up and retreat directly, then think of another way later...

"Lord Rasa, we're here!"

A familiar voice that made him want to punch someone suddenly came from behind.
