Ever since Rasa had figured out Jing Xiu's true identity, he had intended to use it to his advantage.
"Since you could destroy most of Iwagakure together with the Four-Tails Jinchūriki..."
"Destroying Kikyo Mountain together with the One-Tail Jinchuriki shouldn't be difficult for you!"
"I imagine Shimura Danzō would be very interested in an Uchiha like you..."
Rasa carefully worked through his plan on paper.
"Someone, come!"
An Anbu abruptly appeared inside the tent. His features closely resembled Karura's, and he had the same indigo eyes.
"Follow the plan on the scroll. This is your test, and your only chance!"
The newcomer bowed respectfully, took the scroll, then turned and left without uttering a single word throughout.
"Yashamaru, don't disappoint me!"
As Rasa muttered to himself inside the tent, two more Anbu appeared before him.
He took out another scroll and handed it to one of them. "Follow the plan!"
Then he instructed the remaining Anbu, "Send out three squads to monitor Yashamaru, Karura, and Elder Chiyo back in the village, respectively!"
After receiving the scroll, Yashamaru opened it using the Anbu's secret hand signs. "What?"
"Lord Rasa actually intends to make the child in my sister's womb the next One-Tail Jinchuriki!"
"No, I have to tell my sister about this."
When Karura saw the intelligence, she sank dejectedly to the ground. "I thought my love would be rewarded."
"No matter how unwell I felt, I wanted to fight by his side. Even if we died, at least we could die together."
"I never imagined he would..."
"Temari, Kankuro, your mother has failed you!"
Looking at his tearful sister, Yashamaru did not know what to say.
"Yashamaru, if one day I'm gone, I hope you'll cherish the child in my womb as you cherish me!"
"Can you promise me that?"
