Weapons of Sand Hidden

"Hmph!"

"It seems this time,"

"Amegakure is determined to strike at our Sunagakure, even going so far as to dispatch a powerhouse with Kage-level strength..."

Rasa gazed toward the distant horizon, his eyes narrowing as he spoke in a heavy tone.

It was clear that Rasa had already realized the truth.

To be able to instantly kill an Anbu jonin with such speed... it could be none other than a Kage-level expert!

At this moment, If he were to send ordinary ninjas to face the enemy, it would undoubtedly be like sending them to their deaths!

Thinking of this, Rasa's gaze darkened. He looked at the ninja before him and said coldly:

"Let's go."

"Come with me,"

"Tell me every detail of his combat intelligence, and then... I shall deal with him myself."

Having said this, Rasa took down his Kazekage robe, draped it over his shoulders in an instant, and walked straight out.

His confident stride highlighted the immense self-assurance befitting the Fourth Kazekage!

Seeing this, the light of hope began to ignite in the eyes of the Sunagakure ninja, and he hurried to follow.

However, Just as the two stepped out of the office, Suddenly, an unexpected figure appeared before Rasa.

"?"

It was a young child, only seven or eight years old.

He had dark circles under his eyes and short red hair just like Rasa's, with the kanji for "Love" inscribed upon his forehead.

Yet, despite his youthful appearance, The aura of slaughter and bloodlust emanating from his eyes was exceptionally intense!

It was hard to believe that a seven or eight-year-old child could have the eyes of someone who had experienced countless battles...

He was the jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Shukaku in Sunagakure—

Gaara!

At the sight of him, the Sunagakure ninja beside them trembled in fear and quickly averted his gaze.

He didn't even dare to meet Gaara's eyes.

Rasa, on the other hand, was slightly taken aback at first, but then, as if he had suddenly thought of something, his eyes flickered.

He looked at Gaara with a cold, indifferent expression and spoke without a hint of emotion:

"Sunagakure has been invaded by an outside enemy."

"I am going personally to protect the village, and you will come with me, Gaara."

"Let the people of Amegakure feel the power of the ultimate weapon."

With that, He didn't even look at Gaara, but simply swept his robes and strode forward.

Upon hearing these words, Gaara's expression remained unchanged, his silence absolute.

Even hearing the words "ultimate weapon," he had long since become numb to it; he merely stared blankly at Rasa's back and said softly:

"Yes... Father."

As his voice fell, he lifted his feet and followed in Rasa's footsteps, heading toward the outskirts of Sunagakure.

A short while later.

The Kazekage, Rasa, arrived quickly with a group of Sunagakure ninjas.

The Sunagakure forces on the scene were overjoyed, and a glimmer of hope returned to their hearts.

"It's the Kazekage!"

"Lord Fourth, Rasa, has come in person!"

Hearing their voices, Chen Xiaoxi lifted his eyes, expressionless, and looked toward the front.

As a result, what he saw caught him completely by surprise—

He had not expected that following behind Rasa would be the figure of a young child: it was none other than Gaara!

Chen Xiaoxi raised an eyebrow slightly, unable to help but reveal a smile.

He had originally intended to find a way to locate the jinchuriki of the One-Tailed Shukaku only after defeating Rasa.

Unexpectedly, that bastard Rasa had actually brought his son along himself.

This was getting interesting.

Just as Chen Xiaoxi was pondering this, Off to the side, Kazekage Rasa naturally noticed the situation immediately.

The first things to catch his eye were the ruins scattered everywhere and the scorched sand, followed by the countless figures of Sand Hidden ninjas lying on the ground...

The more he looked, the darker Rasa's expression became.

As one of the five great ninja villages, when had Sand Hidden ever been suppressed to such a degree by a small nation?

It was nothing short of a disgrace!

"Thud."

Rasa's feet touched the ground, two meters away from Chen Xiaoxi.

Only then did he clearly see the enemy's appearance.

Short brown hair, an Amegakure forehead protector, golden pupils, and a sharp-featured face, all topped off with a very relaxed and leisurely smile.

Such a young Kage-level powerhouse... in all of Rasa's memories, he had never heard of such a person.

What was even stranger was that this guy was actually from Amegakure.

Had the new generation of ninjas from that tiny place become this terrifying?

Just as Rasa was deep in thought, Suddenly, Chen Xiaoxi's voice rang out, interrupting his train of thought.

Chen Xiaoxi tilted his chin slightly, swept a glance at Gaara, and then looked toward Rasa, chuckling as he said:

"Truly worthy of being the Ninja World's number one doting father, Kazekage Rasa."

"To even bring your young son along when heading to the battlefield—it's truly admirable."

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Rasa's expression froze instantly.

What?

The Ninja World's number one doting father?

He was talking about me...

Chen Xiaoxi's sudden opening line instantly left Rasa's mind in a brief state of blankness.

However, after only a moment, He immediately realized that he was being mocked!

"!"

Rasa's heart sank, and he narrowed his eyes, staring at Chen Xiaoxi as he spoke in a deep voice:

"Hmph, relying on your sharp tongue!"

"Person of Amegakure... you will be buried here for underestimating him!"

As he spoke, Rasa didn't waste any more breath. He looked directly at Gaara, his gaze cold and grim, and issued a chilling order:

"Go, Gaara!"

"Use your power and that of Shukaku... to crush him completely!"

"Let the people of Amegakure know—what a true ultimate weapon is!"

As the words fell, Gaara lifted his eyes slightly, looking at Chen Xiaoxi ahead with a fierce expression. He stepped forward and responded indifferently:

"Yes... Father!"

As the words fell, He suddenly manipulated the Sand Storm and launched an attack forward!

At this moment, seeing this scene, The surrounding Sand ninjas all had their expressions change drastically, their hearts churning.

Wha... what?

Lord Kazekage actually ordered Gaara to attack?

Doesn't that terrifying monster exist inside that guy's body?

If he loses control—

That monster will attack indiscriminately!

Thinking of this, a guard suddenly stepped forward, his expression grim as he said, "Lord Kazekage! Please reconsider!"

"Gaara has not yet fully mastered his power; he cannot be sent to face the enemy!"

"If he loses control of his emotions and the Shukaku goes on a rampage... it will inevitably plunge the Sand Hidden into an even more disadvantageous position!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rasa's face darkened, and he let out a low shout, "Fool!"

"Gaara is, in essence, a weapon of the Sand Hidden. Every battle he fights is a test for that weapon!"

"If he remains unable to control the power of the Shukaku, he will never be able to reach his ultimate form!"

"And the Sand Hidden has no need for such a weapon!"

"Do you understand?"

By the time he finished, Rasa's gaze was icy.

"!!"

As the words fell, the surrounding Sand Hidden ninja shuddered, hurriedly replying, "We, we understand, Lord Kazekage!"
