Hidden Sand Village's Guess
Ren and Rasa stood side by side.
By this time, Rasa had removed the dust from his body and changed into the Kazekage Robe.
The next batch of converts is ready: 90 from Konoha and 10 from Hidden Sand Village.
No matter how much one approves of Rasa, the amount should be what it is.
Rasa played a trick; the Twelve Golden Men appeared dense and solid on the outside, but not on the inside.
After a researcher discovered the problem during an inspection, Ren melted down the twelve golden statues and recalculated their volume based on their weight.
When they discovered there were only ten spots available, Rasa, who was standing nearby, had a dark expression the whole time.
Ren thought that Rasa must be embarrassed.
Among the ten Hidden Sand Village members were the previous Hidden Sand Village leader and Chiyo.
As one of the two pillars of Sunagakure, nothing in Hidden Sand Village could be hidden from the two of them.
Ebizo originally wanted to be the first to experiment, but he couldn't persuade his older sister, especially after Chiyo brought up the fact that she was medical-nin.
The other eight were all handpicked by Sunagakure and are all pillars of the village.
However, there were no teenage ninjas among them, which clearly shows that Sunagakure was cautious and only selected those who had no other options.
Following the actions of the Konoha researcher, 100 people lay down in their respective conversion chambers.
One hundred pale purple lights lit up, and the transformation began.
Rasa put his mask back on, trying his best to maintain his aloof persona.
However, as the transformation began, Rasa couldn't help but quietly ask Ren a question.
"Hokage, can you tell me what all this is for?"
In response to Rasa's question, Ren shook his head.
"Cannot."
Ren's refusal surprised Rasa. He didn't understand why, at a time like this, there was still any need to hide anything.
The ninjas of Hidden Sand Village will soon find out everything, so why doesn't Ren do them a favor?
However, Rasa also had his pride, and after Ren refused, he didn't say anything more.
Ren wasn't in the mood for conversation either, so the two of them quietly watched the scene unfold.
The conversion process went very smoothly. Even though Chiyo had part of her body transformed into a puppet, it didn't affect the conversion at all. After all, this wasn't some kind of MRI scan.
There were no special cases this time, and the fastest and slowest times were less than ten minutes apart.
When all 100 people emerged from the conversion chamber, there were only a few Konoha researchers mixed in with them.
The rest of the people were all shocked and excited.
No one can resist the feeling of gradually becoming stronger. It was already the third day, and everyone knew some basic information.
It wasn't just their bodies that became stronger, but also their Ninjutsu abilities, something the ten members of Sunagakure were well aware of.
It's clear as it is, but the actual experience is different; that wonderful feeling is indescribable.
After the ten people from Sunagakure came out, they headed towards the location of Ren and Rasa.
When the Hidden Sand Village ninjas arrived, Ren greeted them with a broad smile.
Welcome to this new era!
After saying that, Ren turned to Rasa.
"Kazekage, the transaction is complete. I'll be taking Kazekage leave now. If you're interested, you're welcome to visit."
After Ren finished speaking, he left, which made Rasa somewhat unhappy.
This is land rented from us by Konoha. This is the Land of Wind, the territory of Hidden Sand Village. Can you please tone down your host-like behavior?
However, the ten people from Hidden Sand Village who participated in the conversion had a lot to say at this moment.
Seeing that everyone seemed to want to say something but was holding back, Rasa turned and walked outside first.
In a desert, a dozen or so people sat together discussing something.
"Therefore, in addition to the body being strengthened more than tenfold, the power of Ninjutsu has also been greatly enhanced, and the consumption is even less."
After listening to their stories, Rasa summarized.
"That's right, Lord Kazekage" ×9
After a unified response.
"The Fourth Hokage, and that's not all. There are many more changes. For example, his Chakra no longer dissipates naturally, and he can feel omnipresent energy. There should be quite a few more changes, but we haven't had enough time to figure them all out!"
Hidden Sand Village, the Chiyo patriarch of Sunagakure, spoke slowly from behind the crowd.
Having grown accustomed to the presence of the Empress Dowager and the Retired Emperor, Rasa didn't care much.
"Elder Chiyo, haven't you noticed any downsides?"
"Yes, Chakra has become extremely difficult. If you deplete your Chakra in battle, it could take more than ten hours to recover, according to calculations."
After Chiyo finished replying, another person added.
"That's right, and I don't think this should even be Chakra."
Tell me more!
"Rasa commanded."
After another discussion, Ebizo looked at Chiyo and asked her a question. Chiyo also looked at Ebizo, and the two exchanged glances.
"This Hidden Sand Village what the Ebizo of Sunagakure said."
"Kazekage, I think Konoha might have mastered a widely applicable Sage Mode!"
A word that resonated with many people present was uttered by Ebizo.
Hidden Sand Village also knows about Sage Mode. Not to mention Hashirama Senju's past, the Third Kazekage was once a contractor of Ryūchi Cave and has a lot of knowledge about the Three Great Sage Lands and Sage Mode.
After another round of discussion, the Hidden Sand Village members, including Rasa, all agreed with Ebizo's guess.
At this point, only one question remains.
Should Hidden Sand Village continue its trade with Konoha to allow more ninja to master Sage Mode?
