Temari

The caster of the Impure World Reincarnation can control the reanimated individuals from a distance.

Furthermore, they can utilize their Kekkei Genkai.

However, the strength of those reanimated via Impure World Reincarnation is always diminished compared to when they were alive.

This primarily depends on the quality of the vessel and the personal will of the caster.

After all, given Su Yu's current strength, if he were to reanimate a Kage Level powerhouse, there is a high probability that the target would break free from his control.

Therefore, he does not intend to grant these reanimated individuals consciousness, with the exception of one person.

Since he can utilize their Kekkei Genkai remotely, there is naturally no need for him to take the field himself.

This is equivalent to him possessing multiple accounts of powerful individuals, all available for free login and use.

Of course, there is a risk of getting "banned."

Once the opponent suppresses the reanimated individual, they can use Sealing Jutsu to seal them away.

Since Su Yu possesses the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan, who are the most proficient in Sealing Jutsu, his first thought is to research a method to counter Sealing Jutsu, ensuring that the reanimated individuals in his possession cannot be sealed.

This is an idea that perhaps even the Second Hokage never considered.

After all, he developed this ninjutsu to be used in conjunction with the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags.

The immortal body of the reanimated, combined with the infinite explosions of the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags, was sufficient.

Su Yu, however, lacks the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags and has no desire to use the reanimated in that manner; he follows the path of a puppeteer, treating these reanimated individuals as puppets.

His ultimate goal is to control several reanimated individuals simultaneously in combat.

In other words, Su Yu must not only find a way to counter Sealing Jutsu but also learn to multitask during battle.

A few days later.

In the desert region.

A middle-aged man is using Magnet Release to extract gold dust from the sand.

Ever since he was reanimated, Su Yu came directly to the desert, controlling him to continuously extract the gold dust from the sands.

This is likely the most valuable resource in the vicinity of Sunagakure.

Ordinary methods naturally cannot extract gold dust, but Magnet Release can achieve this.

The primary source of funding for Sunagakure in the past was likely the gold dust extracted by the Fourth Kazekage.

Although his current strength is only at the Jonin level, his Kekkei Genkai remains unaffected, and Su Yu never intended to use him for combat anyway.

In addition to the Fourth Kazekage, Su Yu also controls the Second Tsuchikage, who is also at the Jonin level.

The vessels Su Yu found were merely Genin from Kusagakure.

Neither of these two Kage Level powerhouses has consciousness, so it is not difficult for Su Yu to control both of them alone.

He even keeps his Mind's Eye of the Kagura active; as long as he senses unfamiliar chakra, it is certainly a ninja from Sunagakure on the move.

The Second Tsuchikage's ability is Dust Release, and he also possesses Earth Release ninjutsu and an invisibility technique that even sensory ninjas cannot detect.

This means he can fly into the sky and burrow into the earth, and most terrifyingly, he cannot be detected by sensory ninjas.

Su Yu controls the Second Tsuchikage, using his abilities to dive underground and then soar into the sky.

Honestly, the Light-Weight Rock Technique is truly convenient.

It is a pity that Su Yu lacks Earth-style chakra; if he were to learn this ninjutsu directly, his chakra consumption would double when using it.

If he could draw this ninjutsu as a reward, it would be much more convenient, and he would no longer need his Wind Wings.

"Hmm?" Su Yu suddenly noticed a familiar chakra.

This chakra belongs to none other than Temari of Sunagakure; Su Yu had already sensed her chakra during the Chunin Exams.

Temari is carrying a large scroll on her back, accompanied by two Sunagakure ninjas at the Special Jonin level.

Is this compensation for Konoha? Su Yu thought to himself, though he immediately dismissed the idea.

After all, so many days have passed; the compensation should have arrived long ago.

Therefore, it is highly likely that this is some gold dust stored by Sunagakure, which can be used to trade for supplies.

Judging by their direction of travel, it is indeed toward Konoha, likely to establish a supply exchange relationship with the village.

Konoha is able to purchase affordable supplies in the capital of the Land of Fire.

If Sunagakure purchases supplies from Konoha, the price might be slightly lower than the market rate, allowing them to save money while building a good relationship with Konoha—a win-win situation.

Su Yu pondered for a moment and had no intention of stepping forward to make contact.

However, in the next second, his thoughts changed.

This was because three Jonin appeared on the path Temari and her group were taking.

Seeing this, Su Yu controlled the Second Tsuchikage to fly toward their location.

Once in the air, Su Yu instantly saw clearly who these people were.

Although all three of them were wearing Anbu uniforms, there was no chakra among them that Su Yu recognized, which meant they were likely not actual members of the Anbu.

Then, there was only one possibility.

The members of Danzo's Root had been mobilized.

In truth, this was not difficult to understand.

As long as Temari was killed, the relationship between Sunagakure and Konoha would become strained, and they would also obtain a sum of money; it was simply an excellent opportunity.

Danzo was being sidelined by Tsunade and no longer had any supporters; by doing something like this, he could suppress Tsunade's progress and incite conflict.

As long as Tsunade failed to handle these matters well, he could return to the forefront and might even have the chance to take over the position of Hokage.

Su Yu figured this out, but he did not go to warn Temari; he merely approached the trio to observe the situation on the ground.

Temari carried a large scroll on her back.

Inside it were the reserve funds of Sunagakure; because of the reparations to Konoha, Sunagakure had no choice but to use these reserves to cope with the crisis.

These reserve funds were gold dust that the Fourth Kazekage had collected bit by bit while he was alive; this gold dust was not much different from real gold, and in fact, it had all been turned into gold bars.

Using these reserve funds, they could purchase many necessary supplies from Konoha; these supplies would not only allow Sunagakure to train new ninjas but also help establish a good relationship with Konoha.

In the future, the two ninja villages would continue to help each other, for instance, by dispatching their respective Jonin to give lectures and guidance at the Ninja Academy.

At the same time, Sunagakure also planned to host the next Chunin Exams, at which time they would invite other ninja villages, including Konoha.

This was not only to showcase the strength of Sunagakure but also to let other ninja villages know about the alliance between Konoha and Sunagakure.

Konoha would provide secret sponsorship for this Chunin Exam; this was not for the sake of cheating, but to expand the influence of this event.

Once this Chunin Exam was held successfully, it would both demonstrate the strength of the two villages and serve as a probe for other ninja villages, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Therefore, this purchase of supplies could be seen as the first collaboration between the two villages and was extremely important.

This was also the test for Temari's promotion to Jonin.

By the time the Chunin Exams ended, she had already become a Chunin of Sunagakure.

Now, after a period of training, she already possessed the qualifications to become a Jonin; all she lacked was a meritorious deed.

This escort mission was of S-rank difficulty.
