That Was His Own Father

Sealing Art Reflection Technique

It can transfer the target selected by the Evil Sealing Wave and choose a new target to seal.

This card... without the Evil Sealing Wave, it would be completely useless, but when used together with the Evil Sealing Wave, it could have an unexpected effect.

But...

Rasa could not help complaining that the lottery pool's after-sales service was terrible!

These two cards had not been drawn together as a set. Instead... it was only after he drew the Sealing Art that, not long afterward, he drew the Sealing Art Reflection Technique. In other words, if he had not drawn the Sealing Art Reflection Technique back then, the situation before him...

He probably would have wasted one of his cards.

Sorry, no support services are provided after purchase. Draw it if you want; if you don't, then forget it.

It really was not user-friendly at all~

Rasa quickly rushed in front of A and used a ninjutsu against him, forcing A to temporarily stop dealing with Killer B and turn around to attack him.

This strange ninjutsu before him...

It seemed to cause no damage at all, possessing only an enormous suction force.

Fuinjutsu?

A slightly furrowed his brows, but... the blue lightning leaping around his body grew even more intense. It was clear... he was absolutely serious.

If he attacked the caster, or perhaps... that pot...

After glancing at the pot, he immediately charged toward Rasa.

Ninjas could not be judged by common sense. Even after identifying their target, they could not reveal their true objective during a duel.

So...

Rasa did not waste any time with blah blah. Seeing him charge over... what else was there to say?

He simply used the Sealing Art Reflection Technique.

What?

Was he supposed to put on another martial-arts scene between the Fourth Kazekage and Fourth Raikage?

Come on, as the hope of the entire village, he carried the heavy responsibility of everyone in Sunagakure on his shoulders. Therefore, if he could resolve things quickly, he absolutely should not waste time with another couple of lines.

At a time like this, resolving things quickly was the way to go!

"Sealing Art Reflection Technique!"

With Rasa's furious roar, there was suddenly a smack, accompanied by a scream.

A terrifying vortex carrying a streak of blue light swept some sand and dust into the washbasin on the ground.

At the same time, Rasa quickly rushed to the basin, took out the rich-gold lid he had painstakingly crafted as the future Fourth Kazekage—a lid worthy of the Fourth Raikage's style—and covered it.

With A's Lightning Release, the sudden suction force, and such a short distance... without a doubt, A had gone to drink... ahem, entered the luxurious, spacious inner world Rasa had prepared especially for him.

Thus...

The Evil Sealing Wave ended.

It was just that the Ninjas on the battlefield seemed not to have recovered yet. It was probably their first time seeing such a strange ninjutsu. In the blink of an eye... their Raikage, a massive man, had entered that extremely ordinary basin.

As for Killer B... he was still in partial Tailed Beast transformation, but after the suction force disappeared, he had not completely lost his reason. Instead, he charged straight toward Rasa.

What else could Rasa do?

He hurriedly picked up the basin and ran!

Otherwise, if the basin broke later... would not everything he had done be wasted?

Next... all he had to do was safely return to his camp and wait for negotiations with Kumogakure.

It could be said that at this point, their war... was a victory for Sunagakure.

A huge wave of Gold Sand suddenly surged beneath Rasa's feet, lifting him up and carrying him into the distance.

"Retreat!"

He shouted at the other Sand Ninja who were still dumbfounded.

"Now... the entire army is to withdraw!"

Once he finished speaking, the Sand Ninja also understood the situation. Their hearts filled with excitement. After all... their Lord Rasa had defeated Kumogakure's next Raikage despite being at such a disadvantage in a one-against-two battle. What exhilarating news!

Although he seemed to have merely been sealed, without a doubt... he had been defeated.

If you do not believe it, try calling out "Raikage" and see if he dares answer.

So...

Run!

There was nothing more to say. Run, quickly!

Otherwise, if this group of seemingly crazed Kumogakure Ninja kept fighting... it would cost them their lives!

However... Killer B, who was in partial Tailed Beast transformation, had no intention of letting Rasa go. His four clawed limbs kept digging into the ground as he followed closely behind Rasa. Even when Rasa used ninjutsu to stop him, he still charged straight through.

Rasa slightly furrowed his brows as he looked at the Kumogakure Ninja below, who had begun frantically pursuing their Sand Ninja. Kumogakure already had more people to begin with. If this continued... they would definitely suffer total annihilation!

Therefore, he glanced at the iron basin in his hand and raised the Gold Sand higher, placing himself at a slightly safer altitude.

Of course... at this height... the Eight-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball could probably still reach him.

But he had no choice but to do this now!

Rasa held the basin up with his right hand and a sand awl pointed at it in his left. With a sinister look, he shouted, "Everyone... stop!"

Once he spoke...

The Ninjas on both sides had no choice but to stop attacking. They looked at Rasa standing atop the mound of sand. Even Killer B, who was in partial Tailed Beast transformation, stopped and glared fixedly at Rasa.

"If you attack again... the Daimyo of your Land of Lightning can forget about approving any succession ceremony for your Fourth Raikage."

Rasa looked at the Kumogakure Ninja below, the corners of his mouth curling into a faint sneer as the sand awl in his hand swayed back and forth.

"You might as well go straight to the Fifth!"

"What are you trying to do?"

A Kumogakure Ninja glanced at Lord Killer B, who was still roaring nonstop. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward and looked at Rasa.

"Release our Raikage immediately, or else don't blame us for..."

However, before he could finish...

He immediately shut his mouth. After all, the awl in the hands of the Sand Ninja above—Rasa—was already about to stab into the iron basin.

Who knew what abilities this strange Fuinjutsu possessed?

What if the basin shattered and the man inside died?

Would he not become a sinner of Kumogakure?

You had to understand... Lord Third Hokage, who had already retired behind the scenes, was his father~

"Now... Kumogakure is to withdraw immediately!" Rasa sneered at the now-silent Kumogakure Ninja. "You are not to continue attacking the Sand Ninja. As for the conditions afterward, I'm in a bad mood today, and my bones are a little sore. We will negotiate tomorrow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an uproar broke out among the Kumogakure Ninja.

"Impossible, absolutely n—"

However, before one of the hot-tempered Kumogakure Ninja could finish speaking,

"Kumogakure agrees."

By then, Killer B had recovered. Standing below Rasa, he raised his head and looked at Rasa with a gloomy yet calm expression.

His right hand was covering his chest. It seemed he had not yet adapted to the Tailed Beast Chakra, so borrowing it still placed some strain on him. However...

Killer B seemed to be able to maintain his reason while in partial Tailed Beast transformation.

"But you must guarantee our Fourth Raikage's safety." Killer B looked at Rasa. Even his usual sing-song speech failed him at this moment. He simply stared wide-eyed at Rasa. "At the same time... I hope you Sand Ninja won't push your luck too far. Otherwise... fine."

Seeing the sand awl in Rasa's hand constantly hovering over the basin, he could no longer keep pretending. He could only sigh helplessly. He wanted to break into song to ease the tension, but...

Not a single word came out.

In the end, he could only sigh, his voice filled with helplessness.

"We'll negotiate tomorrow!"

Then he looked at the furious Kumogakure Ninja behind him, fell silent for a moment, and shouted, "Let them go!"

"But Lord Killer B... surely the Raikage would not agree either..."

"Shut up! For now, I am in charge here."

Killer B shed his usual goofy grin. He glared at the Kumogakure Ninja before him, then swept his gaze over the Ninja who had lowered their heads and shook his head sorrowfully.

"Lord Third Hokage... he will agree with my decision."

After all, Lord Third Hokage was Big Brother's old man!

His real father!

Turning back time slightly.

On a secluded forest path...

"Konoha?!"

Chiyo stared grimly at the Konoha Ninja who had appeared just as inexplicably before them and surrounded them.

"Looks like... you're also planning to attack Kumogakure's logistics unit!"
