I'm Not That Kind of Person

What he had originally wanted to capture was the commander of Iwagakure, but... that fat guy was simply too tough. He had charged straight to the front, with dozens of Stone Ninja protecting him, so capturing him alive wouldn't be easy.

As for the commander of Kusagakure... he had also charged forward alongside the Stone Ninja Commander, so Rasa could only put those two leaders aside for the time being.

Otherwise, what if he captured one of them, exposed his weakness, or failed?

Wouldn't he then become a lamb venturing into a tiger's den, surrounded by enemies?!

As for the other ninjas... their status was too low, and capturing them wouldn't be of much use. Besides, in the ninja world, once you captured someone, they might even shout with a look of heroic sacrifice, "Fire! Fire! XXX, I want you to fire! You coward!"

Not only would he have picked up a useless burden, but he would also have inspired them to fight to the death. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

So...

Karin's mother, the walking Potion Pack!!!

Rather than leave her in Kusagakure to be bitten by a bunch of crude men, wouldn't it be better to bring her back and let Karura nourish herself with her?

Besides... perhaps Kusagakure valued its only highly skilled Medical Ninjutsu user very highly?

The result was truly unexpected~

As an ally of Konoha, which had enjoyed generations of friendship with the Uzumaki Clan, Kusagakure had actually treated her as a tool.

Looking at the Grass Ninja charging madly toward him, and the Stone Ninja watching from the side, Rasa understood. After all, Iwagakure was one of the Five Great Ninja Villages. How could it possibly obey the orders of a mere Kusagakure?

"Magnet Release: Sand Gold World Method!"

The moment he finished speaking.

Several sharp spikes of Gold Dust, shaped like bamboo shoots, suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the enemy's advance. They even pierced through several Grass Ninja.

And at this moment?!

The Grass Ninja also began unleashing attacks frantically. Their hands moved nonstop through hand seals as they used ninjutsu copied from other Ninja Villages...

"What's the big deal? What's the big deal?" Moomu, whose head was full of sand, started shouting again. "Our Lord Rasa snatched one woman from you. What's the big deal? Why are you so angry? Don't tell me she's your village chief's sweetheart."

"Moomu, stop talking... Lady Karura is still waiting for Lord Rasa in the village!"

"That's right, Lord Rasa. You're in the wrong here. Hurry and release her... kill her, or Lady Karura will definitely be very angry."

"..."

Rasa was instantly speechless as he watched the Sand Ninja seriously rebuke the Stone Ninja, then earnestly urge him to kill the enemy. Please, stop talking!

I'm... not that kind of person!

While using ninjutsu to fight the Grass Ninja, he glanced at the somewhat nervous and frightened member of the Uzumaki Clan beside him. Feeling the Chakra draining from his body, he pondered for a moment before whispering, "Bite me... no, provide me with Chakra. I'll get you out of here. You can stay in Sunagakure afterward. I'll protect you, make you a member of Sunagakure, and give you your freedom. As long as you're unwilling, no one can treat you as a Potion Pack. Of course... you can also choose to leave when the time comes."

Really, I never lie either!

However...

"P-Potion... Potion Pack?" The woman stared blankly at Rasa. Then her clear eyes dimmed as she looked at the bite marks on her hand. Her voice was gentle yet numb as she murmured, "Is what you said true?"

A ninja's words could not be trusted. Back then... when she had drifted to Kusagakure, the Grass Ninja had said the same thing. But in the end...

A wandering ninja could never truly gain the recognition of another Ninja Village!

"It's true. I guarantee it in my capacity as the Fourth Kazekage!"

"You're the Fourth Kazekage?"

"More or less. It's only a matter of time!"

Who else in the village could become the Fourth Kazekage?

At present, there were only him and Pakura. Pakura had no interest in it, so... even if he didn't want the position in the end, he would still have to take it. After all...

He possessed Magnet Release!

It was a technique capable of supporting the entire village!

"..."

The woman silently looked at the young man in front of her, who was a few years older than her. In particular, there was his serious yet smiling expression, and the hand he had grabbed earlier...

She couldn't resist at all, could she?!

Thinking of this, she said nothing. With a numb expression, she directly extended her right hand and held it in front of Rasa's mouth.

At a time like this, did a wandering ninja like her even have a choice?

Rasa looked at that slender, fair, smooth arm, covered in countless gruesome bite marks. He carefully searched for a spot, and finally bit down on one that was relatively clean and still possible to bite.

And at this moment...

Kusagakure had already attacked right up to Rasa, while the Stone Ninja had also begun fighting the Sand Ninja.

The pitch-black night was no longer peaceful. Countless shouts, screams, and explosions merged into one. Dust obscured the darkness, turning the originally tranquil desert into a scene resembling hell on earth.

Feeling his rapidly recovering Chakra, Rasa quickly formed his hand seals and widened his eyes. Although the Uzumaki woman beside him seemed to have moaned seductively because he had absorbed too much from her—cough, cough, it made him feel sorry for her—but he had no other thoughts right now.

This was a desperate measure!

With sufficient Chakra and his seals formed at high speed...

"Magnet Release: Sand Gold Burial!"

The moment his voice fell.

The entire desert began to writhe rapidly. When the Stone Ninja saw the enormous ninjutsu, they quickly came to their senses and hurriedly retreated from the area being covered.

But...

"Again!" Rasa shouted loudly, his face pale.

At his voice, she gritted her teeth and stood up. Her face was just as weak, but she still extended her hand toward Rasa once more.

She... had no way back now.

"Magnet Release: Sand Gold Burial!"

Another ninjutsu, far larger than usual, was unleashed. One had to say... wasn't she truly worthy of being the ninja who had single-handedly supported Kusagakure's entire medical system?

The enormous Chakra of the Uzumaki Clan flowed through his body. Most ordinary people probably wouldn't dare use it like this.

After all, everyone's Chakra bore its own imprint. It wasn't like the naturally formed mass of Chakra known as a Tailed Beast. Even if some rabbit-eared person wanted to reclaim Chakra, they would have to do so through the Divine Tree. As for the rest of the Otsutsuki Clan... they seemed capable of absorbing and converting other people's Chakra.

Thus, Rasa looked extremely ferocious. Having absorbed too much violent Chakra, blood seeped from his entire body, making him look terrifying.

After the second ninjutsu was released, the Grass Ninja and Stone Ninja became incapable of protecting themselves. They frantically used defensive ninjutsu, but because it was a large-area attack, the Sand Ninja also suffered some casualties.

Rasa hurriedly shouted at Moomu, "Retreat!"

"Lord Rasa..."

"Retreat immediately!"

"...Retreat!" After hearing the firm tone of Lord Rasa, Moomu could only grit his teeth and quickly shout, "Everyone, retreat immediately!"

This time.

He remembered that evening once more...

Lord Rasa had used his lofty back, full of resolve, to lure away all the Stone Ninja and protect them.

Lord Rasa... truly was a ninja worthy of respect~

And Rasa...

Rasa lowered his head and looked at the young woman slumped on the ground, a trace of pity in his eyes. Just one more bite. Don't worry. When I draw something that can restore your vitality, I'll use it on you first!

He took out a Red Potion and a Blue Potion that he had drawn over the past two months and stuffed them directly into her hands. "Take these. One last bite... then we'll leave!"

There was no way to spend money temporarily, so he could only resort to this helpless solution.

"..."

The young woman stared at Rasa with numb eyes. She said nothing, accepted the Red Potion, and mechanically drank it.

But moments later... her eyes shifted slightly. She looked at the Red Potion in her hand in surprise, then accepted the Blue Potion as well...

A miraculous Potion!

Then, her face somewhat pale, she extended her hand toward Rasa's mouth.

The last time!

"Magnet Release: Sand Gold Burial!"

After releasing the ninjutsu, before the Grass Ninja and the Stone Ninja, who could no longer endure it, charged over, he directly picked up the incapacitated young woman, activated the technique seal he had just temporarily carved onto Moomu, and smiled at them.

"Well then... goodbye! Stone Ninja, Grass Ninja."
