"Let's start the war. They won't admit defeat until we beat Konoha to their knees and beg for mercy."
After seeing the statement, Rasa consulted with Ebizo and Chiyo and immediately launched an attack.
Therefore, they even brought out One-Tail Jinchuriki to fight.
" The Sunagakure has started the war, so there's no need for us to hold back anymore. In this battle, Konoha must demonstrate its strength to the Shinobi World; otherwise, everyone will think Konoha is easy to bully."
For once, Hiruzen Sarutobi showed his true colors.
Thus, Konoha's top fighters stepped onto the battlefield.
This time, even Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado went to the battlefield.
These two are also quite strong, possessing the strength of Quasi-Kage or even Kage Level powerhouses. After all, they are still young and at the tail end of their peak.
In addition, there's Minato Namikaze, Orochimaru Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, Danzo, Danzo, the Uchiha Clan Head, the Uchiha Grand Elder, the grown-up Uchiha Fugaku, and Hatake Sakumo, Kage Level powerhouse who wasn't killed in the trap.
Konoha's elite forces can still easily defeat the other Three Great Shinobi Villages besides Kumogakure!
It's even a little more than their combined total.
The only drawback is that Konoha doesn't have enough ninjas.
In several major battles with Kumogakure, Konoha lost more than 2,000 ninjas, and many more were injured, leaving them with relatively few capable soldiers.
To this end, Hiruzen Sarutobi even sent newly graduated students from the Ninja Academy to the battlefield.
This group of ninjas was divided into two parts: one part went to fight against Kirigakure (Kirigakure), and the other part went to fight against Sunagakure (Sunagakure ).
However, the main force is the ninjas who deal with Sunagakure, since the strength of Kirigakure has recently become known to other ninja villages.
The Third Mizukage, for reasons unknown, implemented Blood Mist Policy of isolation for several years, resulting in the deaths of a large number of Kekkei Genkai clans and genius ninjas in Kirigakure.
This has resulted in Kirigakure's strength being severely insufficient. The village is now probably the weakest of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, perhaps even weaker than Amegakure during the Second Shinobi World War.
After all, Amegakure has the Demigod Hanzo of the Salamander, but what does Kirigakure have?
Apart from the Third Mizukage, who was a madman and could be considered Kage Level powerhouse, and the Tailed Beast, all the other ninjas were rotten fish.
Even the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Kirigakure have now become the Kumogakure Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
Therefore, the main battlefield is between Sunagakure and Konoha.
In order to win the first battle, Sunagakure used the One-Tail Tailed Beast Shukaku.
"Hahaha, I'm back again! Prepare to die, humans!"
Shukaku, relying on its enormous size, tyrannized the Konoha Ninja. Fortunately, Uchiha Fugaku, after growing up, stepped forward, stabilized the situation, and controlled One-Tail, thus preventing large-scale casualties in Konoha Shukaku.
Then it was Minato Namikaze's turn to shine.
Kumogakure didn't want to exert himself in the battle against Minato Namikaze, but he gave it his all in the Minato Namikaze Sunagakure.
Because he remembered Ziyun's instructions to him.
I must make as many contributions as possible in this great battle so that I can become the Fourth Hokage.
I don't know if it was because of Ziyun's stimulation, but Minato Namikaze has become more mature.
He now realizes that the competition for the Fourth Hokage is extremely fierce, with veterans like Orochimaru and seasoned old Danzo like Danzo. He knows that without demonstrating his true abilities, it will be difficult to make it onto the shortlist for the Fourth Hokage.
Minato Namikaze then transformed into the Yellow Flash, using the Flying Thunder God and Rasengan to wreak havoc on the ninjas of Sunagakure.
Even the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, didn't fare well against Minato Namikaze, and was almost killed by Minato Namikaze.
After all, the Flying Thunder God Technique is too overpowered; this Ninjutsu is enough to make Minato Namikaze invincible against opponents below the Six Paths Level.
"That damned Minato Namikaze, I'll kill him sooner or later!"
After the battle, Sunagakure suffered heavy losses, forcing the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, to retreat first.
After all, Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique was too troublesome. If it weren't for the fact that he had mastered the Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai taught by the Third Kazekage, he might have already been killed.
However, the Konoha Ninja also suffered considerable losses in this battle.
The reason is quite simple: it's because of that old woman, Chiyo.
The poison she developed could only be countered by Tsunade, but now that Tsunade is on the side of Kumogakure, no one in Konoha can break the poison created by Chiyo, so Konoha also suffered heavy losses in this battle.
In the first match, the two sides were almost evenly matched.

" The Fourth Kazekage, it seems the situation in Konoha isn't as dire as we imagined. At least their strength hasn't declined too much since their battle with Kumogakure."
"I think we'd better find suitable allies before fighting Konoha."
After the battle, Chiyo found the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, Rasa, with a solemn expression.
The Sunagakure suffered heavy losses in this battle, with hundreds dead and thousands wounded, even after using the One-Tail- Tailed Beast.
Of course, Konoha wasn't much better off. They already had a small number of ninjas, and after being poisoned by their own poison, they suffered heavy casualties.
However, Konoha's high-level combat power is simply too strong; relying solely on numerical superiority is not enough to fight and defeat so many Kage Level powerhouses.
Unless they have a huge numerical advantage, but Sunagakure doesn't have that many ninjas, they can only join forces with other major ninja villages.
As for Kirigakure, that village was far too weak. The 3,000 Kirigakure Ninja they dispatched didn't even have a single Kage Level ninja, and they were stopped by Shimura Danzō, who led a little over a thousand Konoha ninja.
Now, Kirigakure has become the weakest of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. Its genius ninjas are either dead or have fled. The only thing that can still support their status as Five Great Shinobi Villages is that Kirigakure still has the Third Mizukage and the Tailed Beast.
"No, we must launch a full-scale attack on Konoha now. Although they have many high-level combatants, they have few ninjas."
"If we kill all the ninja below the Jonin, Konoha won't last long."
Rasa, unusually, refused Chiyo's suggestion.
After all, the Sunagakure suffered heavy losses in this battle, and he, as the acting Kazekage, had already lost a lot of prestige among the Sunagakure Ninja.
If he can't turn the tide again, he probably won't be able to hold onto his position as the Fourth Kazekage for much longer.
After all, Sunagakure also has many strong individuals, such as the young female ninja, Pakura.
Pakura possesses a unique Kekkei Genkai, Scorch Release, which is a fusion of Fire Style Wind Release nature transformations. She is younger than Rasa and her strength is roughly at the Quasi-Kage Level.
However, given Pakura's potential, she could become Kage Level powerhouse in time.
Because of her successful completion of several important missions, she enjoys a high reputation in Sunagakure and is known as a hero of the Sunagakure.
Pakura's reputation is currently lower than his own, but if he suffers a few more defeats like this, her reputation might surpass his.
"Hmph, Rasa, don't forget, that old man Ōnoki hasn't made a move yet. Do you think he'll let this opportunity slip by so easily?"
"I dare say he's secretly waiting for the right opportunity. If Sunagakure and Konoha fight to the death, Ōnoki will definitely take advantage of the situation. Even if we win then, it won't matter."
Chiyo was shocked that Rasa, a mere acting Kazekage, would dare to refuse her, and her face immediately darkened.
Furthermore, the way Rasa was addressed changed from "Kazekage " to his full name.
"That's right, sister is right Rasa, you're still young, don't act on your own."
At this moment Ebizo also stepped forward and expressed his support for Chiyo.
Rasa's face was grim. Chiyo and Ebizo were both highly respected in Sunagakure.
Even if his own teachers, the Third Kazekage, were alive, he would still have to give them face. As the acting Kazekage, he had better not offend them, otherwise he wouldn't feel secure in his position as Kazekage.
" Rasa, if you insist on making your own decisions, we'll have to appoint another Kazekage. I think Pakura is quite good; she's strong and obedient."
Ebizo continued.
This is a blatant threat.
She used Pakura to threaten Rasa's Kazekage as Kazekage, forcing him to follow her advice.
Although Ebizo didn't want to do this either, if they really followed Rasa's idea and fought Konoha to the death, then Ōnoki would be the one to reap the rewards, and Sunagakure would have nothing to do with it.
For the sake of Sunagakure, I have no choice but to do this.
"Alright, Elder Chiyo, Elder Ebizo, you two can proceed with the alliance negotiations."
Rasa finally gave in.
However, a seed of hatred sprouted in his heart.
Among them are Chiyo, Ebizo, and Pakura.
However, Chiyo and Ebizo Rasa knew very well that they absolutely could not go against these two, otherwise even if they were promoted, they might be removed from their positions.
Therefore, Rasa directed his hatred towards Pakura.
It was because of this young ninja that his position as Kazekage was so precarious.

If I kill Pakura, then no one in Sunagakure will be able to compete with me for the position of Kazekage.
At this point, Rasa had already decided to kill Pakura.
If Ziyun knew about this idea, he would probably laugh and scold the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages for being brain-dead.
Why don't you think about developing the village all Tenten, and instead just ruin things for your teammates?
Another Hiruzen Sarutobi? But a lower-tier version.
In the original story, Rasa's actions of sealing the One-Tail Jinchuriki inside Gaara in order to strengthen Sunagakure and sending assassins to kill him Tenten were indeed extremely brainless.
Even the Konoha High Command wouldn't do something so brain-dead.
"Alright, I'll go discuss the alliance with Ōnoki now. Rasa, don't make any rash moves in the meantime."
... 0
Chiyo nodded, unaware of Rasa's thoughts.
Chiyo plans to talk to Ōnoki in person this time.
There was no way around it; Ōnoki was a cunning old man, just like Hiruzen Sarutobi, with many tricks up his sleeve.
I vaguely remember Second Shinobi World War, the Third Kazekage was completely misled by Hiruzen Sarutobi and ended up fighting for Konoha for 3 billion ryo.
