Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 40 Luo Sha's Request

"The mission commission originally belonged to our Land of Wind. If Konoha's condition is only this, then our Sand Village might as well wait until Konoha and Kumogakure go to war and then take the mission commission back."

Although Rasa was tempted, he was very ambitious and would not be satisfied with this request. He wanted to extract even more benefits from Konoha.

"As for the latter, it is meaningless to Sunagakure. If that's all there is to it, then there's no need to discuss it further. Please leave."

Nara Shikaku wasn't intimidated by Rasa's words. Instead, he calmly advised, "Even if Konoha goes to war with Kumogakure, it has the strength to deal with other enemies. In the last war, Konoha faced several enemies in turn, but repelled them all. This time will be no exception."

"If Konoha is truly in crisis, we are not without the ability to deal with it. The Fourth Hokage did leave nothing behind."

The last sentence was quite frightening for Rasa. The news of the Fourth Hokage's death due to the Nine-Tailed Fox had spread throughout the ninja world, but Konoha had kept the news of the Nine-Tailed Fox tightly under wraps, and other ninja villages were unaware of it.

Nine years have passed since the Tailed Beasts calamity. Normally, nine years is enough time for a Jinchuriki to grow up.

Rasa's heart sank upon hearing Nara Shikaku's words, and his eyes narrowed immediately. If Konoha were to deploy the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in the end, the Sand Village would probably be unable to cope, after all, their One-Tail Jinchuriki was only nine years old.

Rasa never imagined that the Fourth Hokage would seal the Tailed Beast in an infant nine years ago. While the Sand Village couldn't find a suitable candidate, it shouldn't be difficult for Konoha to find a suitable Jinchuriki. At least Rasa was fooled by Nara Shikaku's words.

The room fell silent immediately.

After a while, Rasa finally spoke up: "A mission from the Land of Wind alone is not enough. Sunagakure will not form an alliance with Konoha just because of such a request."

"Konoha can also agree to go a step further than the Joint Chunin Exams, with Sand Village sending students to study at the Konoha Ninja Academy."

"That's not important at all. If the Konoha envoy really wants to form an alliance with the Sand Village, please show some sincerity."

Rasa paused for a moment, then said, "Sunagakure hopes to obtain Konoha's sealing techniques."

"That's impossible!"

Nara Shikaku shook his head without hesitation and said, "Lord Kazekage is not sincere enough. If that's the case, then it's impossible to achieve."

"With three or more B-rank sealing techniques, plus the conditions mentioned earlier, Sunagakure is willing to form an alliance with Konoha; if Konoha really goes to war with other ninja villages, Sunagakure will also send reinforcements."

Rasa emphasized to Nara Shikaku that he had also put in a lot of effort, but as long as he could obtain the sealing technique from Konoha, he could reseal the One-Tailed Beast, which might allow Gaara to control the power of the Tailed Beast sooner.

This way, Sunagakure won't have to worry about Jinchuriki for decades to come.

Nara Shikaku was silent for a moment: "I can't decide this matter; I need to discuss it with the Third Hokage."

"In that case, let's talk again tomorrow."

After Luo Sha finished speaking, he called Maki in and instructed him, "Find a few places for the Konoha envoy to stay."

Nara Shikaku and his group left with Maki, and the Sand Ninja did not keep a close watch on them, not even paying attention to the ninja hawks that Nara Shikaku released.

After Nara Shikaku left the office, Rasa immediately had someone summon his daughter Temari.

"Father, what brings you here?"

Temari is now twelve years old and nearing graduation. With the help of the Three-Star Fan, she can unleash powerful Wind Release ninjutsu, making her the absolute number one in the Sand Village Ninja Academy.

However, compared to her younger brother Gaara, she is far inferior. If Gaara had gone to the Ninja Academy, he would definitely have been number one; however, his abilities are not very controllable, so he did not go to the Ninja Academy.

Luo Sha asked, "Regarding the dream you mentioned last time, have you remembered anything more?"

"Last time? But Father, didn't you say that dream might..."

"According to intelligence, it might be true, and that person is currently in Konoha."

Rasa interrupted Temari, continuing, "Temari, besides opening the gate to another world in the desert, did you remember anything else?"

Temari tried hard to recall for a while, then shook her head and said, "I can't remember, but I should have had a good relationship with them. Father, I think I was standing in the crowd at the time and witnessed everything."

"Witness it with your own eyes?"

After hearing this, Rasa fell into deep thought. It seemed that the information sent by the masked mystery man could not be completely trusted. That guy was hostile to Konoha and probably also had the intention of using the Sand Ninja.

The room fell silent for a moment, and seeing that Rasa had fallen silent, Temari didn't dare to ask any questions.

After a while, Rasa finally spoke up: "Temari, don't rush to graduate. Stay at the Ninja Academy for another year."

Temari was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Father, why is that?"

"You'll see when the time comes. Let's do this for now. I'll talk to Seiichiro."

Rasa didn't explain much to Temari; after telling her about it, he let Temari leave.

Then Rasa sighed inwardly. Some time ago, Temari had mentioned a dream about the future, but he hadn't taken it to heart at the time. Instead, he thought Temari was under a spell or something, and after searching her, he gave up.

However, the unusual movements of the three major ninja villages of Konoha, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure, along with the message from the mysterious masked man hoping that the Sand Village would join forces with him, forced Rasa to take the matter seriously.

However, Sunagakure is too weak now. The Daimyo's budget has been reduced to a minimum, and even the missions entrusted to the Land of Wind have been given to Konoha. As the Fourth Kazekage, he still has to go to the desert to pan for gold in exchange for funding for Sunagakure to train ninjas.

Even so, the military strength of the Sand Village is gradually declining.

If things don't change, there might not be a Sand Village left in ten years.

----------

"Obito, Sunagakure has already made contact with Konoha."

Zetsu emerged from underground and asked Obito Uchiha, who was sitting on the rock, "What are you planning to do now? And why are you suddenly paying attention to this?"

Regarding the dream about the future, all the forces in the ninja world that knew about it consciously kept the news a secret. Even Rasa placed two ANBU members around Temari.

Therefore, outsiders had no idea that even if Black Zetsu didn't trust Obito Uchiha, it couldn't find any information; White Zetsu had strong infiltration abilities, but it was somewhat at a loss when it came to this matter.

Unless we can kidnap a high-ranking member of one of the five great ninja villages who knows the inside story and then extract information from them.

However, that's not very realistic.

Obito Uchiha was silent for a moment before speaking, "I understand. I'll keep an eye on Iwagakure from now on. I'm going to Sunagakure."

"Why are you targeting Iwagakure? What were you doing in Sunagakure? Shouldn't we be implementing the Eye of the Moon Plan right now?"

White Zetsu hurriedly asked, but Obito Uchiha completely ignored him and left using Kamui.

"That guy."

After Obito Uchiha left, Black Zetsu spoke up, "He's wary of us and preparing a backup plan. The key is Nagato."
