Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

"This is my advice based on all the intelligence I have gathered. I hope everyone will make a careful choice."

Ebizo is 53 years old. He hadn't been involved in decision-making for the past few years, but his sister Chiyo pulled him out of the fray when the village faced a major crisis.

Unfortunately, the old man was very disappointed after seeing the reactions of these elite Jonin in the conference room. They didn't even have the courage to face death. No wonder the village was suppressed like this.

Chiyo saw through her brother's thoughts, and she didn't expect that the Jonin team would fall silent after she gave them a detailed plan.

The siblings looked directly at everyone in the conference room. Some of the Jonin lowered their heads in shame, but in the end, Rasa stood up and solemnly responded to the two advisors:

"I am willing to lead everyone to complete this raid. As long as we can severely damage the Konoha ninja, we can reclaim the mission."

"Garula and the child are in the village's care!"

"Lord Luo Sha!"

Some Jonin were shocked when they heard the decision. Rasa's second child hadn't even been born yet. If they really carried out the plan to attack the heart of Konoha, he would most likely die on the spot.

Rasa displayed the "demeanor of a Kazekage," and the Chiyo siblings nodded in approval; they hadn't misjudged him.

Regardless of the outcome, this courage alone is enough to make him the next Kazekage.

"Rasa, your gold dust can suppress the One-Tailed Beast. Leave the attack on Kikyo Castle to this old man!"

"If I could die in the Land of Fire, it would be a good choice. Having seen enough of the unchanging sand, dying on fertile land would be a relief."

Chiyo chuckled at the end, her disregard for life and death finally inspiring everyone, and more and more Jonin responded.

Seeing this, Rasa clenched his fists tightly. He craved power even more. If he could kill Furukawa Osamu, Sunagakure would not have launched the "suicide plan".

-

Sunagakure Village is shrouded in sandstorms year-round. The village's buildings are nestled in rocky canyons, and the earthen-yellow domed houses have a distinctly exotic feel.

Along his journey into the Land of Wind, Furukawa Osamu discovered numerous Buddhist statues. Upon arriving at the outskirts of Sunagakure, he looked at Orochimaru and whispered:

"Orochimaru-sensei, we are approaching the sensory barrier. This is one of the five great ninja villages, and its defenses are extremely tight."

Orochimaru, cloaked to shield himself from the sandstorm, didn't respond immediately. He glanced up at the setting sun, a playful smile appearing on his pale face.

"Shu, it seems Tsunade's teaching of you is not enough. There are also differences in strength among the Five Great Nations."

"Even the Sand Village has run into problems with its assigned missions. We need to be smarter when facing such an opponent."

"Someone will lead us in late at night. Don't underestimate my intelligence work; I have loyal subordinates in all five major powers."

Orochimaru would show off his strength from time to time along the way, and Furukawa Osamu had to admit that he had a unique charm when it came to winning over his subordinates.

"Let's rest for a while. If we encounter a Tailed Beast going berserk tonight, we might be able to achieve our goal on the outskirts."

"The sealing techniques of Sunagakure are very interesting. If I have the chance, I would like to study them."

Orochimaru made no attempt to conceal his true intentions; in addition to the tailed beast chakra, he was also very interested in the sealing techniques with their unique lineage.

Furukawa Osamu used Earth Release ninjutsu to dig a pit in the mound, and the two of them entered and sat down on the ground.

"Teacher, it is said that Sunagakure was founded with the help of the Ninja Temple?"

"Did the sealing technique originate from the Sage of Six Paths?"

Orochimaru glanced at Furukawa Osamu with an appreciative look, but most ninjas didn't care about this information:

"I didn't expect you to also enjoy collecting these secrets. In my opinion, there are two schools of sealing techniques: one is the Uzumaki clan's, and the other is the one passed down from the Ninja Temple in the Land of Wind."

“Sunagakure mastered the method of sealing tailed beasts a long time ago. Not only the technique, but the ninja temple also inherited a treasure.”

"As for the sealing technique originating from the Sage of Six Paths, I believe that's true."

"So we have two targets tonight, Xiu, you don't want to miss this opportunity, do you!"

Furukawa Osamu responded with a fanatical expression. Ever since discovering the living roots of the Divine Tree, he had been planning to collect the chakra of the Tailed Beasts.

Sealing techniques are good, but they're not his goal; after all, you can only believe half of what Orochimaru says...

The two chatted about the secrets of the Sage of Six Paths while waiting for nightfall. Only when starlight appeared in the night sky did Orochimaru calmly rise, pull up his hood, and greet them:

"Let's go, it's time for us to get started!"

A Sand Village ninja wearing a white headscarf appeared at the entrance. Orochimaru, using the Transformation Technique, simply nodded slightly, and the ninja led the two into the sensory barrier.

Some merchants were intercepted, but Osamu Furukawa found himself unimpeded, clearly indicating that the lurking intelligence agents held considerable power.

Orochimaru and Furukawa Osamu gazed together at the tallest building in the distance; the Kazekage Building stood in the very center of the village.

“Shu, this is how ninjas infiltrate. By combining money with ninjutsu, you can accomplish a lot.”

"If we could have eternal life and control a country to serve us, then 'truth' would only be a matter of time."

Chapter 92 The Tailed Beasts' Calamity

Late at night, Rasa returned home and locked himself in his room again. If the raid failed, Sunagakure would completely lose its ability to wage war.

Even if they can regain control of the commission market, Sunagakure will only be returning to the past, and they will still have to worry about funding in the future.

Rasa was unable to find a solution to the problem. Even though gold dust could generate some revenue, he still had to rely on funding from the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.

Karura, heavily pregnant, was taking care of her eldest daughter Temari. Her husband had not returned to the room for a long time, so she could only bring him hot tea to visit him.

"Still worried about the village? As for the entrusted task, Advisor Chiyo doesn't have a good solution either."

"The land of the Wind Kingdom is too barren; this is not something you can change by yourself."

Rasa shook his head and remained silent upon hearing his wife's words. The main reason for the current state of affairs was that they had suffered such a crushing defeat that even the Daimyo no longer trusted the abilities of the Sand Village ninja.

Leaning against his wife, Luo Sha could feel the continuation of his bloodline. Just as he was about to say some tender words, a loud bang suddenly rang out.

"boom!"

"what!"

In the northern part of Sunagakure, screams echoed continuously. The Sunagakure ninja who arrived at the scene stopped in their tracks, watching the Jinchuriki, transformed into a tailed beast, wielding giant claws made of sand and slaughtering everyone in sight. They hurriedly shouted:

"Quickly, go and fetch Lord Luo Sha!"

The Jinchuriki, whose body was half-transformed into a tailed beast, let out a meaningless roar, then clutched his head and howled in pain.

Some Sand Village ninjas tried to take the opportunity to get closer, but the Jinchuriki waved his hand, and blood splattered in the air.

Stimulated by the smell of blood, the Jinchuriki's tailed beast transformation intensified once again. Seeing this, the Sand Village ninja simply turned and fled; they had had enough of living with death.

On the top of a domed building not far away, Orochimaru watched as the Jinchuriki continuously transformed into their tailed beast forms, and subconsciously licked his lips:

"A drug that amplifies mood swings? It seems you're also exceptionally talented in drug development!"

Furukawa Osamu, observing the changes in the Jinchuriki, noticed that his face was now completely covered by the One-Tailed Beast's mask and immediately suggested:

"Teacher, that's enough. Use the threat of death to provoke us a little more."

Orochimaru's figure vanished instantly. As the Sand Village ninja retreated, a "woman" drew a short sword from her back, charged forward at lightning speed, dodged the giant claw attacks one after another, and swiftly stabbed at the head.

The Jinchuriki's tailed beast transformation intensified once again, and the "female" ninja repeatedly used her speed to flank him and launch attacks.

"boom!"

Another deafening roar shook the earth. The Jinchuriki, unable to suppress the Tailed Beast any longer, completely lost consciousness, and the colossal monster, tens of meters tall, reappeared.

Where is Lord Rasa?

"That damn monster has gone out of control again!"

"Who is that woman?!"

The Sand Village ninja screamed in terror. Shukaku seemed to notice the humans beneath its feet, and chakra instantly gathered in its mouth. As the tanuki monster slapped its body, a ninjutsu erupted:

"Wind Release: Sky Bullet Training!"

"what!"

A huge, invisible whirlwind flew toward the humans and buildings below. Shukaku seemed to be grinning when it heard the screams; it wanted to see blood splatter.

"Tu Dun·Tu Liubi!"

The towering, thick earthen wall successfully withstood the massive gust of wind, and the aftershocks of the ninjutsu collision blew nearby Sand Village ninjas away, causing screams to erupt once again.

Ignoring the Sand Village ninjas around him, Furukawa Osamu accelerated towards One-Tail. He had already sensed the familiar chakra; Rasa was rushing over.

"I'll kill you all!"

Shukaku roared angrily, then raised its head, gathering a ball of black chakra in its mouth, and an invisible wave emanated from its body.

Shukaku, which was charging up its power, suddenly turned its huge eyeballs. Furukawa Osamu ignored the tailed beast's cold gaze, and a blue light blade appeared on his short sword.

The lightning-attribute chakra imbued in the Super Tremor Lightning Release Blade vibrated rapidly. As Furukawa Osamu flung the short sword, Shukaku immediately let out a painful howl:

"You damned human!"

Shukaku's head was pierced by a short sword, and the chakra it had gathered almost dissipated on the spot. Shukaku never expected that Furukawa Shuuzhen could make it feel pain.

The gold dust that surged from the ground sent Shukaku's Tailed Beast Ball flying into the sky. The explosion caused the Sand Village ninjas to lose their hearing instantly, and some of them ran around in fear.

"My power! You bastard..."

Furukawa Osamu leaped into the air to dodge Shukaku's claws, landed on the giant claws, and accelerated again. He reached the head, extended his right arm, and focused intently on [Gathering]. The earth spikes that were aimed at his body disappeared.

When Rasa arrived at Shukaku's side, his pupils contracted. He had a strange feeling that the tailed beast seemed to be howling.

"catch him!"

"It's a Lightning Release ninjutsu!"

All the Sand Village ninja rushed towards Furukawa Osamu, who had returned to the ground, while Rasa, controlling the Tailed Beast, called out to warn him.

When Rasa saw Furukawa Osamu unleash his incredible speed and swing his right arm to send the Sand Village ninja in front of him flying, he instinctively growled:

"It's Kumogakure again! Kill him!"

Furukawa Osamu's Lightning Blade was almost always a one-hit kill; the Sand Village ninjas who were attacked all had large holes in their chests, with their internal organs and blood splattering everywhere.

The short sword, enhanced by the Super Tremor Lightning Release Blade, possesses extremely strong penetrating power; ordinary ninja tools are sliced ​​in two upon impact.

"Ugh..."

After Furukawa Osamu activated his body, his speed became impossible for the Sand Village ninjas to catch. They could only watch as their comrade screamed and fell to the ground. In the end, fear overcame courage, and they let the enemy speed away.

Rasa, having successfully sealed the tailed beasts, stared at the dozens of corpses before him, his eyes bloodshot. Extreme rage caused him to let out a low growl. Noticing his companions around him, he spoke in a trembling voice:

"Prepare the bodies of these heroes, and have the barrier team seal off the village!"

The village of Sunagakure suddenly became restless in the middle of the night, and Chiyo and her brother remained silent after hearing the report.

After a long while, Ebizo shook his head in disappointment, looked at his sister, and whispered:

“We can’t change anything; there will always be someone who can easily invade the village.”

"If we find out who was bribed this time, this kind of situation will happen again next time."

"The village has been thoroughly infiltrated and is riddled with holes. Don't go to Kikyo Castle; it's a pointless battle."

Chiyo knew Sunagakure better than her brother. She quietly read the report and, noticing the "extremely powerful ninjutsu," immediately denied the idea that Kumogakure was involved in the sabotage.

After watching the Jonin team leave, Chiyo calmly responded to her younger brother:

"Ninjas are creatures of war. If death can awaken the village, then this old woman is the most suitable to do it."

The siblings gazed at each other's aged faces, and finally fell silent, all for the sake of the village.

While the Sand Village ninja were still searching, on the outskirts of the village, Orochimaru emerged from the mouth of a small snake, stood up, looked at Furukawa Osamu leaning against an earthen slope, and boasted smugly:

"Sunagakure is nothing special!"

"I've got the chakra, the cell tissue, and some of the sealing techniques."

Furukawa Osamu nodded, and seeing Orochimaru's lingering expression, said meaningfully:

"Orochimaru-sensei, you don't want Konoha to become the next Kumogakure, do you?"

"We have this power, and Konoha will do even better what Kumogakure can do!"

Chapter 93 The Hidden Mist's Alternative Plan

At the end of February in Konoha 49, news of the invasion of Sunagakure and the rampage of the tailed beasts continued to spread.

The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village faced protests, and the Daimyo of the Land of Wind unusually spoke up for the village. Unfortunately, the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning did not respond.

The Sand Village ninjas have become a laughing stock. They were able to sneak into the depths of the village and steal the secret techniques that were strictly guarded. It seems that the Sand Village is rotten to the core.
