Rasa refused to attack Konohagakure directly and took Orochimaru to the Land of Wind’s rear, where they found Pakura pursuing Mei Terumi and Rasa considered taking control of Kirigakure.

• Orochimaru explained that Hiruzen Sarutobi had made him handle administrative work while Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze gained fame fighting the Cloud Ninja.

• Rasa told Orochimaru that Kisame Hoshigaki was the person he had chosen to become the Fifth Mizukage, and Kisame arrived with Mist Ninja reinforcements.

• Mei Terumi dodged Rasa’s strike, countered with Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet, and then used Lava Release to corrode his arm.

• Rasa sent Pakura and the other ninja after the fleeing Kiri ninja, then told Kisame that Himura Kenshin had praised his talent and loyalty.
• Rasa compared Kisame’s sacrifices for his village to Luo Gong Kiritsugu’s ruthless efforts to protect the greater good, and Kisame listened in silence.

• Rasa outlined his plan to unite the ninja villages through negotiation and limited political conflict rather than conquering the Shinobi World by force.
• Kisame showed interest in Rasa’s proposal, and Orochimaru revealed his disguise and encouraged Kisame to accept.

Rasa secured Kisame’s loyalty, let him return to Kirigakure with Mei Terumi, and used their escape to build Kisame’s reputation. Rasa and Orochimaru then pursued the group, and when Rasa arrived in Kirigakure and began killing its ninja, Yagura was forced to face him.

• Rasa rose above Kirigakure and used Electromagnetic Force to disturb a deep-sea magnetic field, triggering a destructive seaquake.
• Rasa named the approaching tsunami Raging Sea and told Yagura it would reach Kirigakure in five minutes.
• Yagura believed Rasa’s explanation and ordered Kirigakure’s ninja to defend the village and protect its civilians instead of fleeing.
• The Kaguya Clan ninja raised a bone forest, Earth Style users built a wall, and the other ninja formed a thirty-meter Water Style barrier.
• The tsunami struck Kirigakure, and its waves smashed through the bone forest and Earth Style wall as the Mist ninja watched their defenses fail.

Rasa’s tsunami overwhelmed Kirigakure’s defenses and began flooding the village, while his indifference to the civilian casualties revealed how faint his human emotions had become. As destruction spread, Yagura begged him to stop and offered to accept any condition to save the village.

• The tsunami shattered Kirigakure’s Shikotsumyaku forest and Earth Style wall before the Mist ninja barely held the first wave with their Water Formation Wall.

• Rasa watched the devastation without feeling joy or sorrow, and Yagura pleaded with him to stop, offering any condition to protect Kirigakure.

• Yagura gave up resisting after hearing the villagers curse him and Rasa, and Rasa blocked the tsunami with enormous gold dust walls.

• Rasa clarified that the women would move to Sunagakure as protected residents who could choose their own Sunagakure ninja husbands, and Yagura negotiated the number down to ten, including Mei Terumi.
