" Pakura!"
Upon seeing Pakura, the Fourth Kazekage gritted his teeth.
This woman's betrayal of Sunagakure greatly angered Rasa.
" Fourth Kazekage, what's with that expression? Did Pakura do something to you? You're truly shameless."
Seeing Rasa's expression, Ziyun teased.
The thought processes of the people in these villages are truly peculiar.
It was clearly Rasa who wanted to kill Pakura, but Pakura wasn't stupid enough to betray Sunagakure.
But now that Rasa has met Pakura, it's as if Pakura owes him something, and even Ziyun can't stand it anymore.
"Why did you betray me in the first place, Fourth Kazekage?"
Pakura said angrily, his eyes filled with rage.
She had long harbored deep hatred for Rasa. If the Lord Raikage hadn't told her the truth, she probably would have become a sacrifice in Rasa's attempt to appease Kumogakure.
"Why don't you understand? You traitor to Sunagakure!"
Rasa sneered. In his opinion, Pakura was an absolute bastard for not dying.
"I think you're tired of living, Lord Raikage. I'm going to kill him right now."
Pakura roared angrily, her former innocent demeanor gone.
There was no way she could resist such a shameless enemy; of course she would lose her temper.
"No, I was wrong back then, please forgive me."
Seeing that Pakura truly intended to kill him, Rasa immediately panicked.
Although he wasn't afraid of Pakura, he was afraid of Ziyun. Now that he was tied up by the people of Kumogakure, Pakura could kill him with ease.
Given the current strength of Sunagakure, if I were to die, would Sunagakure dare to seek justice from Kumogakure?
So Rasa immediately backed down.
"You call yourself the Kazekage? You're a hero who betrayed the village; you don't deserve to be called the Kazekage."
Pakura sneered. Seeing Rasa admit defeat in front of her, Pakura felt much better.
"Alright, Fourth Kazekage, I'm giving you one last chance. Are you willing to make Sunagakure a vassal of Kumogakure?"
Ziyun asked calmly.
"I can't make that decision myself. I need to talk to other people, and I don't know if the villagers will have any objections."
Rasa finally realized the reality and changed his tune.
"Oh? You can't make the decision, huh? Fine, I need a Wind Kazekage who can."
Ziyun smiled faintly, " Pakura, didn't you want revenge? Now is a good opportunity."
"Yes!"
With Ziyun's permission, Pakura took out Kunai and inserted it into Rasa's heart.
Rasa didn't even have time to resist, because he was bound hand and foot and unable to use Ninjutsu, so Rasa died.
"He... he just died like that?"
Upon seeing this, Ōnoki shuddered.
The Fourth Raikage, the Fourth Raikage has really made his move.
He killed the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, in front of so many people... he really is a madman.
Seeing Ōnoki's demeanor, Ziyun laughed. The reason he wanted to kill Rasa was twofold: first, to avenge Pakura, and second, to warn Ōnoki and show him the consequences of not agreeing to his demands.

Just then, Ebizo and Chiyo rushed to Konoha.
After all, they had heard a few days ago that the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, had been captured, but what they didn't expect was that Rasa was already dead.
" The Fourth Kazekage!"
Upon seeing Rasa, Ebizo and Chiyo were utterly astonished and could hardly believe it.
The Fourth Kazekage died just like that?
" Fourth Raikage, I need you to give us— Sunagakure— an explanation."
Chiyo's face darkened as she looked at Ziyun.
"Oh? What kind of explanation do you want? I also need an explanation from your Sunagakure to give my Kumogakure!"
"Your Fourth Kazekage harmed our Kumogakure ninjas, and now we're settling scores with him. Who knew he was so weak? He was killed with just one Kunai. If you want to settle scores, come on, I'm waiting for you."
Ziyun looked at Ebizo and Chiyo with a smile on his face, but his aura was overwhelming.
Even though they were both Kage Level experts, they felt Ziyun's terrifying aura and immediately calmed down.
Demanding that Kumogakure give Sunagakure an explanation does indeed sound a bit presumptuous.
What can Sunagakure use to fight Kumogakure?
"Even so, the Fourth Kazekage Fourth Raikage died within the jurisdiction of your Kumogakure. Now that he's dead, the ninjas of our Sunagakure need a sum of money to appease him."
After calming down, Chiyo realized that it was definitely impossible to seek revenge against Kumogakure.
So, a brilliant idea struck him: he decided to ask the Kumogakure for a fee.
Sunagakure is currently in dire need of funds, so let's Fourth Kazekage Sunagakure.
"Sure, the Fourth Kazekage's head is worth 100 million on the black market, I'll give you 300 million, how about that, generous enough?"
Ziyun smiled faintly.
This amount of money is nothing to the Kumogakure, just a drop in the ocean.
"No, 300 million isn't enough, 300 million is far too little, how could that be?"
Chiyo immediately refused.
What can 300 million taels do for a large ninja village? If everyone drinks porridge every day, it can only last for a month. How can that be enough?
"How much do you want? Rasa's head is only worth 100 million. Who told him to be so weak? I'm in a difficult position too."
Ziyun joked.
"At least 3 billion."
"3 billion? Turn me out! I wouldn't even give you 300 million."
Ziyun waved his hand, and Yotsuki A and the others began to drive away Chiyo and Ebizo.
"Alright, alright, 300 million it is. Fourth Raikage, give me the money."
Chiyo knew she wouldn't gain anything by negotiating with the Fourth Raikage, so she had no choice but to agree.
"I've given you the 300 million. Now I'm giving you a choice: your Sunagakure will become a vassal of my Kumogakure. What do you two think?"
Ziyun then spoke to Chiyo and Ebizo.
Chiyo and Ebizo startled upon hearing this.
Making Sunagakure a vassal of Kumogakure? Isn't that a joke?
"Impossible, Fourth Raikage, don't go too far."
Chiyo refused with a dark expression and prepared to leave Konoha.
"Too much? I've already been very polite. If I weren't, the army of Kumogakure could have wiped out Sunagakure in no time."
"Do you know why Rasa died? It was because he refused. I wouldn't mind turning you two into corpses too. Then, with a wave of my hand Sunagakure will just become a vassal state again."
Ziyun said casually, but it sent a chill down the Ebizo and Chiyo.
No wonder Rasa died; it turns out the Fourth Raikage made such an insolent request.
"This is a big deal, I need to think about it. Give me some time."
Seeing this, Chiyo knew there was no other way. She was now like a lamb entering a tiger's den. If she didn't agree, the Kumogakure would definitely not let her leave.
"Consider? Considering means death. Give me an answer immediately."
Ziyun was too lazy to listen to Chiyo and the others' considerations, but in fact, Ziyun had given Chiyo enough face.
If I had let Kumogakure simply raze Sunagakure to the ground, it wouldn't have been this complicated; it would have been resolved in a month at most.
"Alright, I agree. However, I need to appease the people of Sunagakure. This is a huge decision, and I'm afraid it will provoke a fierce reaction within the village."
Chiyo said with a pained expression.
Actually, she didn't want to agree, but what could she do?
Chiyo herself didn't care about her own life; she wasn't afraid of death. But after hearing Ziyun say that if Kumogakure were to attack Sunagakure, would anyone from the village survive?

For the sake of Sunagakure, Chiyo agreed.
"I trust Elder Chiyo's prestige in Sunagakure, and I'll also give you another 3 billion ryo to appease the people of Sunagakure."
"I don't want to hear any resistance from Sunagakure at that time. If there is, I don't mind wiping out Sunagakure."
Ziyun employed a combination of kindness and severity.
"Alright, thank you, Fourth Raikage. I'll go back and discuss it with everyone now."
Chiyo took the money and left, thanking everyone profusely.
Kumogakure is very wealthy now, so Sunagakure joining Kumogakure wouldn't be a bad choice. On the contrary, it would be a better outcome for Sunagakure.
After all Rasa is dead, and no one in Sunagakure knows Magnet Release anymore.
