"Granny--"
Rasa faced the most difficult decision of his life.
Karura was his wife, the woman he shared his life with, his beloved. Rasa could not afford to lose Karura.
But if Shukaku was not sealed, the process would fail. If the sealing failed, his third child would die.
Besides, there was no time left. They had already lost three Jinchuriki. This time, Shukaku had to be sealed inside a Jinchuriki.
Should he choose Karura, or the Child Who Successfully Seals Shukaku?
Rasa shut his eyes in agony.

"Kazekage-sama, please, save my sister!"
Yashamaru crawled toward the Sealing Altar. His mouth was covered in blood, and every step his hands took left a bloody handprint.

No one cared about Yashamaru. Everyone was waiting for Rasa's decision.
Chiyo shouted, "Rasa, make your decision!"
Rasa knelt directly before Karura. Tears streamed down his face, blurring his entire visage. "I'm sorry, Karura!"
"I am the Fourth Kazekage of the Sand Village!"

Karura showed no disappointment, because Rasa's choice was also hers.
Protecting her child was a mother's instinct.
She merely looked at Chiyo. "Granny, save my child. I will use all the Chakra I have for the rest of my life to accompany him."
Before she knew it, tears had also begun to fall from Chiyo's eyes. This tragedy seemed to have been brewed by
