If the person standing here at this moment was not Fourth Kazekage Rasa, but his eighteen-year-old son--Gaara, the situation might be completely different.
Orochimaru may choose to retreat temporarily without hesitation, or even turn around and leave.
There is no other reason. This vast desert is the absolute home for Gaara, who has inherited the power of Shukaku and can perfectly control sand.
Gaara's sand, Body Flicker Technique, allows him to instantly integrate with the surrounding sand and perform ultra-high-speed, almost invisible movements and position changes.
Coupled with the fake sand clone that is enough to confuse Sensing, if he wants to leave, he can completely escape from the battlefield without anyone noticing. The enemy will not even be able to judge when he left and in which direction he fled.
Chasing a Gaara in the desert who is bent on escaping is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, and he may take advantage of the environment to carry out a fatal sneak attack at any time.
But Gaara's father, Rasa, cannot.
Although he also controls sand, it is Gold Dust, which is metal powder, essentially gold particles, not ordinary Golden sand.
Although this makes Bestowal Gold Dust stronger in hardness, weight and destructive power, it also greatly limits its convenience in desert environments.
Rasa cannot easily integrate itself with the sand of the entire desert like Gaara, allowing it to travel without loss or trace.
His Gold Dust requires continuous consumption of Chakra to control and maintain, and the traces left when moving are far more obvious than ordinary sand.
What's more important is that today's Gaara is almost a moving natural disaster in the desert.
This does not simply refer to strength, but also to his fighting style and mental state.
Under the careful training of Rasa, Gaara has long abandoned most of the human emotions and scruples. When fighting, he is crazy, paranoid, regardless of the cost, and his methods are weird and unpredictable.
You can never predict what a madman will do in the next second.
Orochimaru may not be afraid of confronting Gaara. With his strength and means, it is not impossible to defeat Gaara.
But it must be an extremely difficult, costly and variable battle.
The most terrifying thing about a madman is his unpredictability and determination to die together.
If Gaara doesn't want to win, but just wants to drag you to death, and unleash some of Secret Technique's fatal powers or completely liberate Shukaku's power, then even Orochimaru will have to do everything possible to save his life or escape, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
Therefore, facing Rasa, although Kage Level is also a strong person, his fighting style is relatively orthodox, his means of escape is limited, and he obviously cares more about his own life and the interests of the village, Orochimaru is naturally willing to take action.
Facts also prove this.
Ninja is the most convenient Rasa at home in the desert without ordinary sand drills. Faced with Orochimaru's sophisticated and weird Ninjutsu, and endless poisonous Snake psychic and biochemical means, as well as Naruto's elusive Flying Thunder God, sharp and changeable Kenjutsu and attribute restraint, even though he Gold Dust Technique is both offensive and defensive, and has great power. After struggling for about half an hour, it was finally difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. Chakra consumed a lot of energy and suffered several wounds on his body, and was finally used by Orochimaru. Multiple Hidden Shadow Snake Hands restrained his movements, but Naruto saw the opportunity, knocked off his bamboo hat with a sword, and hit Acupoints hard with the hilt of the sword, causing him to temporarily lose his ability to resist.
"Sealing Jutsu·Four Symbols Seal!"
Naruto didn't hesitate at all, stepped forward quickly Hand Seals, and pressed his palm on Rasa's abdomen.
When he followed Jiraiya Training, he did systematically learn Sealing Jutsu, especially the powerful seal derived from the Uzumaki Clan. Although it was far from the attainments of Minato Namikaze or Kushina Uzumaki, it was more than enough to seal a Rasa that had exhausted Chakra and was restrained.
The complex Black Runes spread and quickly locked the Chakra meridians of Rasa, completely blocking its power.
Looking at Rasa who was slumped on the sand, his face ashen, but still holding on and refusing to fall, Orochimaru Golden's vertical pupils turned to Naruto, with a hint of a school exam. "How should we deal with him?"
Is it killing?
A prisoner?
Or as a bargaining chip?
Naruto touched his chin and looked at Kazekage, who once commanded his subordinates to encircle and suppress him and was now a prisoner, with calm and cold eyes.
He thought for a moment and said, "First ask him about Sunagakure's defense layout, troop deployment, material reserves, and other information that may threaten me."
He paused and added, "If he is tough and refuses to say..."
Naruto suddenly grinned, revealing a smile that seemed extremely evil to Rasa: "Then find a cesspit, throw him in, then reinforce it with Sealing Jutsu, and suppress him for a hundred years.
Let him savor the taste of time."
Naruto doesn't know how to torture, but he has seen many disgusting ways when he read novels.
"!!!"
As soon as these words came out, even though he was used to seeing wind and waves and had a determined mind like Rasa, his eyes suddenly widened and the color drained from his face.
A hundred years of suppression in the cesspit?
This is thousands of times more vicious than killing him directly.
It was simply extreme mental and physical torture.
Is this Kid the devil?
Even Orochimaru on the side frowned slightly, stretched out his long tongue and licked his lips, commenting. "What a... quite tasteful way of handling it, Naruto-kun."
There was no indication of approval or disgust in his tone.
Then, both of their eyes fell on Rasa, whose face was pale and his eyes were filled with shock and anger.
Rasa suppressed the nausea and fear in his heart, held his neck, tried hard to maintain Kazekage's last dignity, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth. "Huh! Don't even think about it! I, Rasa, as the leader of Sunagakure, will never betray my village even if I die!"
You should give up on this idea!"
"Oh?"
Naruto raised his eyebrows. Instead of being angry, he gave a thumbs up and said with a bit of exaggerated praise, "Good! He has backbone! He is a tough guy! I admire him!"
Just when Rasa was slightly stunned by this sudden "praise", he even had the illusion that "this Kid might still have points."
Naruto The topic suddenly changed, and his tone became more brisk, as if he was discussing a good business. "Since you are so honorable, we must also respect your choice.
Let's do this, don't rush into the cesspool just yet.
When I was walking Jianghu, I met several noble people who had special hobbies and were very generous. I like you the most, a tough guy with a high position and a cold temperament.
By selling you to them, we should be able to make a lot of money, which will just supplement the funds for our trip."
He smiled as if he was stating a perfectly reasonable business plan, "When they get tired of playing, we will implement the previous plan and find a cesspit to suppress you.
What do you think of this arrangement? Make the best use of everything."
"You... shameless...!"
Rasa was so angry that he was shaking all over, his face turned from white to red, and then from red to green. He pointed at Naruto and Orochimaru, his lips were trembling, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
He has never seen such a shameless, mean-spirited person with no bottom line!
This was completely beyond the scope of his knowledge of Ninja or Jianghu knights.
If it weren't for the fact that he was Land of Wind Martial Pacification Office Commander, he would have scolded Martial Pacification Office.
At this moment, he even began to seriously doubt his previous judgment.
How could this blond Kid be the descendant of the upright Minato Namikaze?
Minato Namikaze Such a heroic man, how could he give birth to such a shameless son?
"Land of Fire Are all Martial Pacification Office guys so particular?"
Rasa could only squeeze out this question full of indignation and powerlessness from between his teeth.
Naruto shrugged, not caring.
Orochimaru chuckled like a snake hissing.
