Naruto: The whole world knows I am the savior

Chapter 45 Alliance and Assassination

"The conditions for sealing techniques cannot be changed. In comparison, the Sand Village has to form an alliance with the Leaf Village and will provide personnel support after the war starts. The Leaf Village's contribution is not much."

Rasa hadn't really been keen on sealing techniques before, but after Nara Shikaku used the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he suddenly realized that Sunagakure had to deal with Gaara as soon as possible.

At the very least, Shukaku cannot be allowed to go berserk so easily. Even if Gaara cannot control Shukaku's power, Gaara must be able to fully release Shukaku and eventually retrieve it, making it a weapon on the battlefield for a short period of time.

Otherwise, without a Jinchuriki, Sunagakure would be at a great disadvantage if war broke out.

"This is Sunagakure's condition. If Konoha doesn't agree, we'll consider sending an envoy to Kumogakure. We believe they won't value sealing techniques that much."

Rasa's tone was very firm, which made Nara Shikaku frown slightly.

Was his guess wrong? Didn't the Sand Village value mission assignments more? Or did they want to take back the mission assignments through war?

With this thought in mind, Nara Shikaku couldn't help but look deeply at Rasa, but unfortunately Rasa's face was covered with gauze, so his expression could not be seen at all.

Silence fell over the room. After a while, Nara Shikaku finally spoke, "We can agree to the sealing technique, but there must be one condition: if war breaks out, the Sand Village, as an ally, must send a ninja battalion of at least five hundred to help Konoha."

"Five hundred is impossible, that's too many. As the Fourth Kazekage, I can only agree to a support team of one hundred people."

"Lord Kazekage, one hundred people is far too few. Konoha has paid a heavy price for this alliance. If Sunagakure only agrees to send one hundred, then Konoha has no reason to agree at all."

After a heated debate, Rasa and Nara Shikaku finally reached an agreement: the Sand Village could send a support team of 300 people, but all expenses would be borne by Konoha, except when dealing with Kirigakure.

If Kirigakure attacks Konoha, then Sunagakure must provide unconditional assistance.

After reaching an agreement, Nara Shikaku signed the alliance agreement on behalf of Konoha and Sunagakure. As the leader of the Jonin team, he still had this status and authority.

After signing the alliance agreement, Nara Shikaku took his leave, as he needed to return to the village immediately to inform the villagers of the alliance.

From now on, Konoha will no longer need to fear the threat from Kumogakure. Even if war breaks out, Konoha will have the strength to fight back.

As for the promise made to Sunagakure, it will be delivered to Sunagakure in three parts. The first part will be a sealing technique and one-third of the mission. After that, we will have to wait for the reaction from Kumogakure.

"Well then, Lord Kazekage, we'll take our leave now. We'll inform the Third Hokage of the contents of the agreement when we get back, and then we'll contact your village as soon as possible."

When Nara Shikaku said goodbye to Rasa, he then left Sunagakure with Yamanaka Inoichi, Akimichi Choza, and others. Unlike when he first arrived, this time Rasa escorted Nara Shikaku to the entrance of Sunagakure.

Without waging war and paying a minimal price, they retrieved the mission assignment and Konoha's sealing techniques. Rasa had discussed this with the Sand Village's higher-ups; they had made a huge profit, and it was precisely during Konoha's most difficult time that they were able to make this request.

Although a support team of 300 people will be needed at critical moments, if the war is won, the Sand Village will also reap corresponding benefits; Rasa and the Sand Village leadership have discussed it and decided that forming an alliance with Konoha would be beneficial to the Sand Village.

After returning to the Kazekage's office, Rasa immediately instructed Maki, "Go and invite Elder Chiyo here."

"Elder Chiyo? Fourth Hokage, Elder Chiyo said before that she would no longer interfere in the village's affairs."

Rasa explained, "Things are different now. Elder Chiyo oversaw the sealing of the One-Tailed Beast. Once the sealing technique from Konoha arrives, who else but her can reseal it? Go quickly."

"Yes, I understand, Fourth Generation Lord."

Maki nodded and left, but a few minutes later he returned alone.

Rasa asked in confusion, "Where is Elder Chiyo?"

"I haven't gone to find Elder Chiyo yet. Someone suddenly appeared in Sunagakure, gave us some information, and left immediately. It concerns the Konoha envoy from earlier, so I came back right away."

After Maki finished speaking, he handed the scroll in his hand to Luo Sha, who opened it and immediately frowned.

The scroll contained only one message: someone was trying to ambush the Konoha envoy and shift the blame onto the Sand Village.

"Damn it! Maki, get four squads of spies and come with me."

Although Rasa didn't know if the information was true or false, he hoped it wasn't. Otherwise, if the Konoha envoy died, their advantageous alliance agreement would be ruined, and the Sand Village might even start a war with Konoha before the Cloud Village.

"Lord Kazekage, this is..."

"Whether it's true or not, the Konoha ninja cannot be allowed to get into trouble in the Land of Wind!"

After Luo Sha finished speaking, he immediately set off to walk outside.

Normally, this kind of thing wouldn't require him, the Kazekage, to get involved; Maki leading four ANBU squads would have been enough. But Rasa had a bad feeling about it, and he suddenly remembered the masked man he had talked to last time.

------------

"Cho-za!"

"Partial Multiplication Technique!"

A fleshy palm instantly grew dozens of times larger, like a small mountain, and slammed towards Uchiha Obito, who was wearing a mask.

With a single palm strike, the immense power and impact instantly caused the surrounding earth to tremble, but Akimichi Choza felt no sensation of hitting his enemy.

"Shikaku, you missed!"

Akimichi Choza withdrew his hand, looking warily at Uchiha Obito in front of him.

Nara Shikaku said with a grave expression, "This guy's space-time ninjutsu can turn him into nothingness when attacked, but he should become solid when he attacks, otherwise he wouldn't have needed to stop attacking just now. Obito, it was you!"

Upon hearing this name, Obito Uchiha's face, hidden behind his mask, froze, then a fierce look appeared. He knew he wasn't the only one who had dreamt of the future, but he hadn't expected that even his name would be exposed.

"So what if I know? As long as I kill that bastard, I'll complete the plan in Obito Uchiha's name!"

The thought flashed through Obito Uchiha's mind, and the next second, the Mangekyou Sharingan in his pupils spun, while his hands formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Storm Dance!"

The spatial distortion power under the Kamui eye technique turned the terrifying fire jutsu into a vortex storm, expanding the fire several times over.

"Get out of the way!"

None of the three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio knew any ninjutsu, and the accompanying Anbu ninjas couldn't possibly use Water Release to block such a terrifying Fire Release ninjutsu.

Boom boom boom!

The terrifying firestorm ignited raging flames in the arid desert. After the group scattered in disarray, their first instinct upon getting up was to search for Obito Uchiha.

Akimichi Choza immediately used the Multiply Technique to increase his height and then looked around. When he saw what was behind Yamanaka Inoichi, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Inoichi, behind you!"

Yamanaka Inoichi turned around in surprise, but Uchiha Obito had already silently appeared on top of him, raising a black rod high.

"Too late!"

Obito Uchiha swung his hand and thrust, the black rod piercing through Yamanaka Inoichi's body with lightning speed.

Only then did Rasa's voice come from afar: "Damn it, stop right there!"
