Fear

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, mankind's most primitive fear, the fear of the unknown.

Sasori of the Red Sands created such a fear.

How many people had he secretly manipulated to infiltrate Sunagakure?

No one knew.

Could the audience sitting next to him have been manipulated by Sasori of the Red Sands all along, and at his most fearful or proudest moment, pull out a sharp weapon and stab him?

Or perhaps, suddenly pull out a powdery poison, scatter it into the air, and directly poison a large crowd?

The fear of the unknown spread within the venue, a chain of suspicion formed between everyone, and fear was written on everyone's faces: fear of Sasori, fear of the person next to them, fear of the unknown...

Rasa's expression suddenly turned grim, he had already guessed what Sasori of the Red Sands was planning to do.

Whether it was the "Werewolf" attacking the well, or the "Werewolf" lurking in the venue, neither was Sasori of the Red Sands' killing move. Even his most skilled poison was not his killing move.

The strongest killing move he had brewed was fear.

Terror makes people lose their minds, obey their instincts to evade and survive.

And there were tens of thousands of spectators in this venue, once order collapsed, and everyone obeyed their instinct of fear and began to evade, the resulting chaos would be devastating.

At that time, even if Sasori didn't make a move, and his hidden people didn't make a move, the death toll caused by chaos, crowding, and stampedes would reach a terrifying number.

"Please everyone, remain seated for now, do not panic, do not move around randomly. Please trust the organizational capabilities and defensive strength of Sunagakure. We will immediately arrange for people to help you evacuate in an orderly manner..."

Rasa stood on the clouds and shouted to the audience in the venue, urging everyone to remain calm and not cause chaos.

Chiyo and the other elders, who had also seen through Sasori of the Red Sands' scheme, quickly dispatched personnel to try to maintain order and organize the orderly evacuation of the audience in the venue.

"Stay in your seats first, do you want us to wait for death?"

"Who knows if the person next to me will suddenly try to kill me!?"

"Let us out quickly!"

"Since we can't tell if the person next to us is a killer, then kill the person next to you first. The dead can't kill anyone. Kill everyone around you, and you'll be safe!"

The screams, roars, and resentful voices of tens of thousands of spectators mixed together, giving Rasa a splitting headache. What made it even harder for Rasa to bear was that there were also some people arranged by Sasori of the Red Sands beforehand to stir up trouble and lead the charge.

What could he do?

He could do nothing.

A disaster-level stampede incident seemed unavoidable. Even if the Sunagakure ninja reacted promptly and had sufficient organization, there were still people manipulated by Sasori causing trouble in the shadows...

Disrupting order is always much simpler than maintaining it.

"Hahahahahaha..."

Admiring his masterpiece in the venue, Sasori of the Red Sands laughed maniacally. You want to hunt me down? Then I'll destroy Sunagakure first.

How can a Sunagakure that has lost the trust of its benefactor survive?

How can a Sunagakure that can hardly survive spare the energy to hunt him down?

"Uchiha Jiang Feng!"

Seeing Rasa flustered and helpless, Sasori of the Red Sands turned his gaze to another person who had vowed to hunt him, laughing provocatively.

"Come on, kill me!

Hahahaha, even if you can kill me, so what? After today, your reputation will be ruined. If you and Rasa hadn't vowed to hunt me, I wouldn't have come today at all.

Those fools will blame you and Rasa for the cause of this disaster..."

Konan's face turned pale. She knew that what Sasori of the Red Sands said was absolutely true.

If only a few, or dozens, of people died, it would be one thing. But once a large-scale death event occurred, there would definitely be self-righteous people who would jump out and pin the blame on Jiang Feng.

Why didn't you protect everyone?

Why did you provoke Sasori of the Red Sands?

If it weren't for you, those people wouldn't have died, and this disaster wouldn't have happened.

Even if Sasori of the Red Sands caused the disaster, don't you bear 1% of the responsibility?

As long as you admit to that 1% responsibility, the remaining 99% will be pushed onto you.

"Disaster? I don't see any."

Jiang Feng's expression was blank. He used the Heavenly Son's Qi Observation Technique to observe the changes in the heaven, earth, and human qi within the venue, searching for and locking onto those who were taking advantage of the chaos.

You can't see it? Are you crazy, kid?

Sasori of the Red Sands was about to mock him further when he suddenly saw Jiang Feng raise his hand and point his index finger repeatedly. Streams of finger force were sent out continuously, splitting into hundreds of streams, falling like spring rain onto various parts of the audience seats.

One by one, the audience members who were clearly losing control of their emotions, or who already had guilty consciences, were struck and immobilized in their seats. In a matter of moments, hundreds of people were controlled.

Sasori of the Red Sands was so shocked that his face turned ashen. How is this possible?

Controlling hundreds of people in an instant wasn't a difficult task. In order to successfully infiltrate the venue, the "werewolves" Sasori had planted were all ordinary people.

The real difficulty lay in identifying the 1% "Werewolves" among tens of thousands of spectators.

To maximize the unknown fear, not many "Werewolves" had stepped forward to stir up trouble so far. If it were only those who had already revealed themselves and were now controlled, it would be one thing. But Jiang Feng could even identify the "Werewolves" who hadn't exposed themselves yet.

Not one less, not one more, and even a hundred more: the extra ones were the "Water Army" who lacked reason and indirectly caused panic.

"Even if you..."

Sasori of the Red Sands gritted his teeth, about to stubbornly refuse to admit defeat, when he saw Jiang Feng raise his hand, creating a misty Illusionary Realm that enveloped the entire venue.

Immediately after, the spectators within the venue gradually regained their reason, quickly realizing that the "Werewolves" ambushed by Sasori of the Red Sands had all been controlled.

The root of fear was removed, the spread of fear was contained, the chain of suspicion among them broke, and order was slowly being restored.

"What kind of Illusion Technique is this?" Sasori of the Red Sands was horrified.

This was just a very ordinary Illusion Technique, so ordinary that it could only produce special effects.

What truly allowed the tens of thousands of spectators in the venue to quickly regain their reason was the Heavenly Son's Qi Observation Technique.

The Heavenly Son's Qi Observation Technique could not only observe the Qi and momentum of heaven, earth, and man, but also manipulate and utilize these profound Qi and momentum, either to empower oneself or to attack others, with infinite applications.

What Jiang Feng did was to sort out the chaotic Three Realms Qi Energy of heaven, earth, and man within the venue, indirectly influencing the temperament of the tens of thousands of spectators, making them more rational and quicker to realize that the source of fear had been eliminated.

When most people were no longer afraid, order would naturally be restored.

"Now, what other tricks do you have?" Jiang Feng looked down at Sasori of the Red Sands with a playful gaze.

"Uchiha Jiang Feng!"

Sasori of the Red Sands roared hysterically, clearly having no more tricks up his sleeve.
