Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning
#4 - Chapter 4: Seizing the Tailed Beast
As Rasa's words fell, everyone's eyes lit up.
They didn't feel ashamed of such actions.
After all, they were ninjas, synonymous with darkness, and such things were common among the major countries and ninja villages.
In the original story, Nagato's parents were killed as enemies when ninjas from Konoha were scavenging for resources.
However, Rasa had relatively high standards, so he had to make some things clear in advance.
"However, I want to make one thing clear: although we are ninjas, born for killing, we also have our pride as ninjas. This operation must not target ordinary people."
Rasa's words surprised everyone in the room.
This was because it didn't align with their usual style. For these guys who were used to killing, there was no such thing as 'ordinary people.' As long as they were on different sides, they were enemies.
Their hearts had long become icy cold in endless killing.
Rasa's words were completely womanly kindness to them, but they found that they didn't seem to think Rasa was weak because of this. Instead, they had an indescribable feeling towards Rasa.
Rasa ignored their surprised expressions and continued, saying.
"Our targets are those great nobles. Most of them have bad reputations, running casinos and brothels. It can be said that they have gathered the wealth of a city. Moreover, from the last Shinobi World War until now, the ninja world has been recuperating for a long time. These guys must have a lot of good things in their hands, whether it's money, food, minerals, or weapons, we want them all. However, for efficiency, Maki, I need you to mobilize the Anbu to figure out the situation in these cities within seven days and select the targets."
"I don't plan to take genin to participate in this raid on the Land of Fire, so I can hand over the genin in the village to you."
"Seven days, starting from the moment we enter the Land of Fire. After seven days, no matter what kind of battle we have with Konoha, we must retreat. So, you only have seven days. Is that enough?"
At this moment, after hearing Rasa's plan, whether it was Ebizo or the others, they suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of trust in this Fourth Kazekage, whom they hadn't valued much before.
Although everyone had different positions, at this moment, the plan proposed by Rasa was beneficial to both sides, and everyone had no reason to object.
Ebizo quickly gave his answer.
"No problem. When does Lord Kazekage plan to launch the raid?"
"Ten days later. The Anbu needs time to collect information. In these seven days, we must be careful to keep it secret and not let Konoha be prepared. After seven days, we can start preparing. Three days is enough. Does anyone have any other questions?"
Everyone looked at each other. For the first time, for the collective interests of the village, the several people belonging to different factions reached a consensus.
Just then, Chiyo suddenly asked.
"What about this old woman?"
As one of the Sand Village's great weapons, it was obviously unreasonable for the puppet troops not to be arranged.
Rasa also gave his explanation.
"I need Elder Chiyo to lead the puppet troops to guard the village and meet us when we retreat after seven days to prevent Konoha's counterattack. Our retreat will definitely not be so smooth. Even Konoha may counterattack our Land of Wind."
Only then did everyone understand that Rasa had already considered this.
Chiyo naturally had no objections.
"No problem."
"Okay, everyone, start preparing. Secrecy is the most important thing. The success of this operation depends on surprise. Konoha has quite a few spies in our Sand Village. By the way, Elder Ebizo, since we have agreed to the daimyo's request to intervene in this war, we can't forget about the daimyo's side."
"I understand. I will try my best to apply for military expenses from the daimyo's side."
"Well, then there's no problem. Yekura and Mikawa, you can go and prepare first. Elder Chiyo, Elder Ebizo, Maki, you stay. I have something to discuss with you."
As Rasa's words fell, Yekura and Mikawa frowned slightly, but through the series of plans just now, Rasa had briefly established his prestige. The two did not make any unhappy appearances and obediently left.
After the two of them left, Rasa looked at Chiyo and Ebizo below and directly said a command.
"I need you to hand over Bunpuku and Shukaku to me, including all the sealing formulas!"
As the words fell, the two people, who were originally in an old state and squinting their eyes, suddenly opened their eyes and looked at Rasa, instantly understanding Rasa's purpose.
Chiyo reacted the most violently and said without even thinking.
"Impossible. Although you are the village's Kazekage, Shukaku and the Jinchuriki are of great importance. They were given to us by the Second Generation and are better kept in our custody!"
Rasa was not surprised by Chiyo's reaction.
After all, if you were to ask what the most precious treasure of the Sand Village is, Shukaku would definitely rank first. Unlike other tailed beasts, Shukaku has always belonged to the Sand Village. It was captured and sealed by the First Kazekage. The Second Kazekage developed the puppet technique and the ability to manipulate sand by studying Shukaku's chakra.
It can be said that Shukaku has extraordinary significance to the Sand Village.
On the other hand, Shukaku represents the Sand Village's strongest military power and is a symbol of disaster. If it gets out of control, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But Shukaku was something Rasa had to get.
Although Chiyo refused without even thinking, Rasa was not in a hurry because he had absolute certainty.
So, he sat in the Kazekage position and leisurely said.
"I already know the news about the Third Kazekage!"
"! ! !"
Chiyo and Ebizo both frowned deeply, not understanding what Rasa meant by suddenly shifting the topic from the tailed beast to the Third Generation.
"The Third Generation is indeed dead."
The two were not surprised by this answer.
Although there are still many people in the village who do not believe that the Third Generation is dead and only think that he is missing, people at the power level of the Kage cannot disappear for no reason. There is only one answer, and that is that he is already dead.
"Who killed the Third Generation?"
Ebizo couldn't help but ask.
Rasa didn't rush to answer. Instead, he looked at the old woman Chiyo and asked a question.
"Elder Chiyo, who do you think it could be?"
Rasa's question stunned Chiyo. She subconsciously wanted to retort unhappily, but suddenly remembering something, her old body shook violently, and she looked at Rasa in disbelief.
Seeing this scene, Rasa also understood that Chiyo should have understood, or rather, Chiyo had always had this answer in her heart. After all, there was another person who disappeared with the Third Kazekage at that time.
It's just that on the one hand, the power gap between those two people was too large, making people dare not believe it. On the other hand, Chiyo was unwilling to think in that direction.
"It seems that Elder Chiyo, you have already thought of it. What do you want me to say, or hand over Shukaku to me!"
After all, she was an elder of a village and a Kage-level ninja. Hearing Rasa's words, Chiyo's face instantly became gloomy, and she asked fiercely.
"Are you threatening this old woman?"
"No... of course not. I just want to make a deal. Moreover, as the village's Kazekage, I should be in control of the power of the tailed beast."
Chiyo originally wanted to muster up the strength to refuse Rasa's deal, but remembering the lonely figure of that child, she finally seemed to unload all her strength and became much older, saying.
"I understand. I will hand over the tailed beast to you. Can you tell me where that child is now?"
Ebizo, who witnessed all this, looked at his sister in surprise. He had never thought that his so strong sister would compromise at this moment. Originally, he did not understand why this was, but Rasa's words gave him the answer.
"I don't know exactly where he is, but the information I got is that he has transformed himself into a human puppet, and even the Third Generation's corpse..."
Rasa's words were not clear, but both Chiyo and Ebizo understood, and even Maki guessed something, saying with a face full of horror.
"How... how is it possible... Sasori he..."
