Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 260 Kazekage, Shukaku, you handle this yourself?

"Space-time ninjutsu?"

"Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Luo Sha clenched his fist, then quickly slapped the ground with one hand. A cloud of golden sand appeared around him, enveloping him and Fen Fu, and quickly transformed into a golden sphere.

but.

The next instant, a spatial suction force came from outside.

Another kind of space-time ninjutsu?

Luo Sha immediately realized something was wrong and grabbed Fen Fu to escape using earth magic.

Whoosh whoosh!

When he emerged from underground, the golden sphere had already been completely absorbed.

What a terrifying technique!

Luo Sha was covered in cold sweat.

Who exactly is this guy?

He swallowed hard and said, "Shukaku, I order you to assist us in this battle!"

Fenfu sighed, "I don't want to use this power to kill."

Obito appeared in front of Bunpuku.

He grabbed Fenfu, instantly retreating backward, while a powerful suction force appeared in his pupils—his target…

Luo Sha!

"You have no choice, otherwise... you should understand the consequences."

Anger flashed in Luo Sha's eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, Bunpuku finally transformed his arm into Shukaku's hand just as Obito arrived in a flash.

He does indeed possess the ability to control Shukaku.

Bang!

Obito was swept away, but he was not seriously injured.

On the contrary, it was Luo Sha.

He was pierced through the shoulder by Kamui's power, but he stood beside Bunpuku, who was gradually transforming into a tailed beast.

boom!

Sand filled and destroyed everything around.

Obito's figure instantly merged into another space, and then reappeared in the distance.

Kamui!

He's going to take the Jinchūriki away directly!

Part of Shukaku gradually disappeared from Rasa's sight. He gathered gold dust to try to stop it, but it was all absorbed.

This technique...

"Attack his main body!"

Rasa manipulated the gold dust, which surged towards Obito.

Placer gold Shigure!

The gold dust turned into a cloud of sand and flew into the air, and then, driven by the wind, it spread across the sky and carried away the soil.

While the gold dust was absorbed, even more gold dust moved closer to Obito, forcing him to abandon maintaining Kamui. And this time, the effect...

It simply absorbed the Guardian Crane Hand derived from the Divided Fortune.

The true form only lost one hand.

"hateful!"

Obito retreated quickly.

Luo Sha squinted, knowing exactly what was going on—

The two spatiotemporal capabilities cannot be reused in the short term.

So...

He was about to continue his attack when suddenly the soil beneath his feet became soft.

What?

Luo Sha was somewhat taken aback. He looked down and saw a hand reaching out from below.

Earth Release: Heart-Slaying Decapitation Technique!

Although he managed to shield himself with gold dust in time, preventing himself from sinking completely, his spellcasting was still interrupted.

The next second, Obito appeared next to Bunpuku, and his body slowly disappeared.

Sharp spikes shot out rapidly from all directions.

Placer Gold Realm Method!

However, trees grew around Obito, protecting his body.

He can also use Wood Release?

At this moment, Luo Sha's mentality really started to break down.

Just who is this guy?

Konoha's experiment?

It seemed Obito was about to take the person away...

In an instant.

Bang!

A figure swiftly appeared, sending Obito and Bunpuku flying.

Immediately afterwards, fireballs appeared one after another.

White Zetsu immediately burrowed underground, but some of his physical body was still burned; the intense flames even scorched the sand and soil.

Scorching Escape!

Luo Sha's eyes lit up.

Yecang is still alive!

Suddenly, Obito's pupils contracted as he sensed a terrifying aura of chakra and spatial fluctuations.

Space-time ninjutsu!

Whether it's Kyohiko or Minato Namikaze, Obito is currently no match for them, so taking Bunpuku away is no longer an option.

"Damn it! Why won't you come with me?"

Obito couldn't understand it.

He thought Fenfu was incredibly foolish. Despite how these people treated him, he still chose to stay, showing no understanding of the true path to peace.

Bunpuku maintained the Buddhist gesture with one hand, not because he didn't want to put his hands together, but because his other hand was inside Obito's space, and his shoulder was still bleeding.

Obito instantly retreated, enveloped in streams of golden sand.

Luo Sha wanted to make one last attempt.

however.

His golden dust was completely absorbed into the spatial channel around Obito. The moment Kyohiko landed, Obito's entire body had already become ethereal and entered another space.

"You'll regret this!"

Obito looked at Bunpuku, then his figure vanished into another dimension—

Last time, Kyohiko used the Flying Thunder God Technique to guide the Tailed Beast Ball through the remaining spatial channel into his space, nearly killing him.

Obito never wanted to experience that kind of life-or-death situation again.

He quickly vanished into another space, disappearing without a trace under the escort of Jinsha.

Luo Sha raised an eyebrow, and Jin Sha exploded several times on the spot, showing a hint of embarrassment and anger.

"Damn it!"

This guy...

If he hadn't mastered the power of space and time, he would have killed his opponent several times over.

and.

Konoha's space-time ninjutsu is always a major headache.

Previously it was Kyohiko and Minato, and now there's a new face!

He looked towards Ye Cang's direction.

but.

At that moment, Yekura had already made her escape in an instant.

Only one remained...

Yoshimine Kyohiko.

Luo Sha took a deep breath: "What are you doing here!"

"Heh, I got the news and rushed over to save the day. You think it was easy coming all the way from the Land of Snow?"

Jingyan gave a cold laugh.

Luo Sha remained silent, then bowed slightly: "I'm sorry, I was a little emotional just now."

Although he is the Kazekage, but...

When facing Kyohiko, one should yield when necessary.

Firstly, the opponent is stronger.

Secondly, Sunagakure really needs Kyohiko's help right now.

Just now, if Kyohiko hadn't arrived, that guy probably could have kept them occupied for a while, and might have even killed Bunfuku and released Shukaku.

By then, the losses for Sunagakure will be enormous!

He took a deep breath.

"Thank you for your support. Sunagakure will remember it."

"That's right. Our two families are allies, so it's only right that we help each other. In fact, as soon as we heard that Takigakure was attacked, we immediately took action."

Jingyan sighed softly, "It's a pity I went to the Land of Snow for another matter, otherwise I could have come here sooner and captured Uchiha Obito."

"Obito Uchiha?"

Rasa thought of the strange ninja from earlier.

It's him?

Kyohiko nodded and gave a general account of the situation between Obito and "Madara".

"I'm ashamed to say that although the problems within the Uchiha clan have been purged, Madara Uchiha and his cronies have still managed to cultivate a capable henchman..."

"So that's how it is."

Luo Sha remained silent.

斑。

He certainly wouldn't have believed it at first, that someone from such an ancient time could still be alive.

But now.

After hearing Jingyan's account, he felt its credibility had increased to 70%.

The remaining 30% was mainly because he couldn't fully believe it without personally meeting Uchiha Madara, and Kyohiko's tone also implied a similar meaning.

They've never seen real spots!

After a moment of silence.

Jingyan said, "Let's deal with Elder Fenfu's matter first."

He looked at the old monk.

The old monk had already returned to his prison.

but.

What bound him was not the prison, but the temple and his own heart.

Just like Shukaku's assessment...

This old monk may be pedantic and stubborn, but he does indeed possess qualities similar to those of the Sage of Six Paths.

He deserves respect.

Kyohiko moved closer and used medical ninjutsu to heal the wound on his shoulder, but Bunpuku's life force had already come to an end.

"I think you need to consider transferring the tailed beast as soon as possible. If you wait any longer, you may have to wait for Shukaku to be reborn."

Fenfu is dying.

"Then let's change it."

Luo Sha looked at Fen Fu with an emotionless gaze, as if he were looking at a tool.

Fenfu sighed and silently recited the scriptures.

Although there was a hint of sadness in Rasa's eyes at this moment, it wasn't for sharing the blessings, but for his daughter—

As agreed.

The next Jinchūriki will be his daughter, Temari.

Simultaneously.

Temari will travel to Konoha as a "pledge" held by Sunagakure in Konoha, thus demonstrating Sunagakure's loyalty.

Originally, the two sides agreed that Temari would be sent to Konoha when she turned five...

However, after her battle with Obito, Rasa knew very well that Sunagakure did not have the ability to protect her.

His eyes were dull.

First it was Minato Namikaze, then Kyohiko and Kakashi.

Now, Obito Uchiha, who defected from Konoha, also possesses incredibly powerful talent.

Luo Sha was very sad.

It seems that Sunagakure doesn't have such a genius.

Perhaps it did exist.

However, the Third Kazekage, who possessed exceptional talent, died, and Sasori of the Red Sand was fundamentally abnormal, forced to give up and ultimately dying at the hands of Yoshimine Kyohiko.

And Yecang.

The main difference between Luo Sha and Ye Cang was their differing political views; there was no deep-seated hatred between them.

He felt remorse for a time after causing Yekura's death.

The Sand Village was already very weak, and they shouldn't have used such methods, but at the time, he really couldn't think of a better way.

But thinking about it afterward...

Perhaps there is a better way.

The appearance of Yekura threw Rasa into a state of confusion, and in his confused state, Rasa had no choice but to stop feeling regret and remorse.

Look ahead!

"The focus now is on Shukaku."

Luo Sha composed himself.

He looked at Jingyan, formed a hand seal to create a shadow clone, and quickly rushed home, while his main body stayed here with Jingyan to watch over Fenfu.

At this time, the ninjas from Sunagakure also arrived one after another.

but.

Luo Sha waved his hand.

They did not approach any further.

After clearing his mind of distractions, Rasa began to ponder Kyohiko's intentions.

The other party mentioned the Land of Snow several times just now.

Did Konoha go to the Land of Snow?

The land of snow.

Isn't this a major mineral-producing country?

Luo Sha was startled.

All countries in the ninja world have some mineral resources, but the richest areas are mainly the Land of Earth and the Land of Snow, and the Land of Earth has its own ninjas and teams that mine them.

Only the Land of Snow, with its vast territory, sparse population, and no ninja villages, possesses abundant mineral resources and supporting facilities.

"You secured a mining commission from the Land of Snow?"

Luo Sha's eyes lit up.

Jingyan smiled and said, "I thought you had forgotten about our cooperation. Well then, I'd like to ask, how is your Magnet Release ninja training going? Can it meet our industry's needs?"

"There has been some progress, but it's not yet ready for actual commissioning. However, I can take on this work and won't fall behind."

Luo Sha forced himself to remain calm.

Jingyan frowned, feigning worry.

"Isn't that a bit inappropriate? If you leave Sunagakure, who will stay behind to guard the village? I don't want Sunagakure to fall into such a crisis again."

Luo Sha remained silent.

The Sand Village can't produce another ninja as powerful as him right now. They did have one before, but...

He looked in the direction Yekura had fled, and regret returned to his heart.

Why were we so foolish back then?

"It seems we'll have to wait until next time to cooperate. This time, we'll do the mining ourselves."

"Kyohiko said."

Luo Sha hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

The Sand Village can't do without him now, but he's unwilling to let such a deal slip through his fingers.

Should Konoha protect Sunagakure?

A dangerous thought flashed through his mind, then he shuddered and immediately dismissed it.

impossible!

If Konoha sends someone to protect Sunagakure, what secrets does Sunagakure still have?

We'd rather not make any money than do this!

He forced a smile: "Then let's leave it at that this time. We can cooperate again next time when our Sunagakure village has made mature progress in Magnet Release."

"That's the only way, what a pity!"

Jingyan feigned a sigh.

The fact that Sunagakure cannot participate will definitely put more pressure on Konoha, but the advantage lies in the long term. Moreover, pressure must be put on Sunagakure in this regard, otherwise how can Rasa make concessions?

He looked at Fenfu.

At this moment, Fenfu's aura was gradually weakening, leaving only a trace of life force.

Jingyan frowned.

The old monk is now clinging to life, only wanting to safely pass on the tailed beast.

However, as Shukaku's life force began to decline, his chakra became increasingly restless and agitated, and his chakra slowly began to surge violently.

It seems to want to give Fenfu a ride, while...

It also sends itself on its way.

Jingyan forms a hand seal.

"What are you going to do?"

Luo Sha immediately became alert, but the next second, Jing Yan placed his hand directly on Fen Fu's abdomen, and a Four Symbols Seal mark slowly spread out.

Shukaku's chakra was suppressed.

"Hasn't he arrived yet?"

Jingyan looked at Luosha.

Luo Sha was speechless for a moment. He didn't know what was going on with his clone, but the shadow clone hadn't returned yet and was probably on its way.

however.

The next second, the aura of the blessing gradually weakened.

He was already too sensitive to any disturbances.

This commotion left him barely clinging to life.

Make a choice.

Jingyan took half a step back.

"Unsealed! The next Jinchūriki is on the way."

"it is good."

Jingyan formed hand seals and released the Four Symbols Seal once again.

Then--

Unseal the magic seal!

The seal was broken instantly.
