Behind the Scenes in Naruto World

Chapter 87: Rasa and Gaara

They deserved to be one of Suna’s ninjas.

Suna ninja had high fighting spirits but always surrendered really quickly.

In the past, the Kazekage and the Sunagakure’s high-level officials always seized the opportunity to get a quick profit. They would start a war but knelt and surrendered quickly.

Uehara got the information he wanted and waved to them with satisfaction, “Hurry up and pass the news to your Kazekage-sama, and withdraw your troops as soon as possible.”

After he finished speaking, Uehara added, “Once we start killing rogue ninjas in the Land of Rain, we’ll treat all other ninjas still active as spies!”

“…”

The Suna ninjas glanced at each other.

Watching Uehara warily, they stepped back slowly. Once they got farther away, they turned and fled into the distance.

Uehara didn’t care about their escape.

The Sunagakure in the Land of Wind was confused. In addition to the ordinary ninjas expelled by Uehara, there were also many Anbu lurking in the Land of Rain.

He was busy!

Uehara was working hard.

At a small river.

A Suna Anbu ninja stretched out his hand, and then an eagle descended from the sky. He carefully took a scroll from the eagle’s claws.

When this Anbu saw the information on the scroll, his face changed drastically, “Kazekage-sama has given an order. We must leave the Land of Rain immediately.”

“Are you kidding me?”

His companion immediately said with a displeased face, “Kazekage-sama can’t make changes like this. We just only sneaked into the Land of rain a few days ago!”

“Right!”

Another Suna Ninja spoke up, dissatisfied, “The village always calls for a war against the Land of Rain, then gives up halfway…”

“We can’t accept this!”

The Suna Ninja sighed and explained in a dark tone, “It’s probably because of Konoha Shimura Danzo. Over the past few years, whenever we acted against the Land of Rain, Konoha would delay our actions.”

After finishing speaking, the Anbu squad leader slammed a fist on the nearby tree, “Those Konoha bastards just want to prevent the rise of our Sunagakure!”

After the Sunagakure defeat in the Third Ninja War, it formed an alliance with Konoha, but, in truth, it was actually Konoha’s vassal.

Practically every generation Kazekage had been Konoha’s vassal due to loss in wars.

A Kazekage wouldn’t accept failure willingly.

Especially the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, who could also be called a talented and rough leader. Relying on the gold mining technique of his magnet release, he obtained real power within the village and started to make small moves.

Not long ago, the news of the Konoha Uchiha clan’s demise came out, which was equivalent to Konoha’s strength dropping a lot. They were at their weakest now.

The Fourth Kazekage Rasa wanted to take this opportunity to conquer a piece of fertile land that could bring benefits to Sunagakure.

Of course, Rasa couldn’t take the initiative to attack Konoha and rob the Land of Fire. What if Konoha’s backhand slaps them down again?

So Rasa stared at the Land of Rain.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen would not be satisfied with this, he did not care. After all, big countries could quickly establish a covenant, but the interests of small countries were a different matter altogether.

Rasa planned to take advantage of Konoha’s weakest period to bully on the Land of Rain, but the Amegakure’s attitude was tougher than theirs!

“Amegakure has sent a powerful kid who’s trying to expel our ninjas. Perhaps it’s he who keeps intercepting and killing our Anbu everywhere. Of the eleven Anbu squads currently deployed, only three teams are left.”

At the border between the Land of Wind and the Land of Rain.

At the frontline command post of the Sunagakure, Rasa’s confidant, Baki, was diligently reporting everything he had received and reported his responses, “I have sent someone to order all other Anbu teams to withdraw temporarily… “

“A kid?”

Rasa listened to Baki’s report, furious, “Has the strength of the ninjas in our village dropped to this level? I haven’t reduced my financial support for you!”

“Kazekage-sama…”

Baki lowered his head tremblingly, not daring to look at Rasa.

Ninja training doctrine in Sunagakure was focused on creating elites, but they just received a disappointing report.

Several teams of elite ninjas in the Land of Rain to perform missions had been killed, while ordinary ninjas were expelled. The eleven Anbu squads that had infiltrated only had three left…

“A bunch of waste…”

Rasa cursed and sighed, “Forget it, order them all to retreat! I’ll go and see for myself what kind of genius ninja Amegakure brought out!”

“Kazekage-sama, that’s not rational behavior.”

Baki frowned and persuaded in a deep voice, “Your safety was more important than any actions taken by the village. I don’t recommend Kazekage-sama take the initiative to take the risk…”

“What’s so dangerous about a little kid?”

Rosa waved his hand. He understood the situation in his Ninja Village. Since Konoha had severely damaged the village’s vitality during the Ninja World War, he couldn’t use many powerful ninjas.

For this reason, to encourage the ninjas in the village, Rasa dropped the Jonin promotion standard several times. He provided several special Jounin with training funds and other benefits.

Rasa looked back at Baki and suddenly said, “Help me bring Gaara over. I want to see if our ultimate weapon is qualified…”

“…”

After Baki stayed silent for a second, there was a touch of panic and anxiety on his face. He took a deep look at Rasa and nodded at him.

Gaara was the Sunagakure’s Jinchuriki.

Because of Gaara’s emotional instability, the casualties were often caused by his outbreaks, which made the village’s attitude towards the Jinchuriki exceedingly terrible.

For this reason, Gaara, a child who should have entered ninja school, could only be taught by Rasa.

Last year, Gaara was very irritable and killed a ninja who had taken care of him since he was a child, causing him to start to control the Bijuu.

However, Baki knew part of the truth.

Baki knew that the ninja who tried to assassinate Gaara was a member of the Rasa faction.

The Sunagakure’s Ichibi was now insanely bloodthirsty, violent, and cruel, like a beast that would enter a hunting state at any time.

Even Baki, seeing Gaara’s eyes, couldn’t believe the maelstrom of negative emotions within.

Gaara looked like he might kill at any time.

And he didn’t seem to care who he killed.

Now, whenever they cultivated the strength of the Jinchuriki, what made Baki most scared was not the Ichibi’s power but the relationship between Gaara and Rasa.

The two of them were father and son.

“Gaara, Kazekage-sama wants to see you…”

Baki walked to a simple training ground and looked at the red-haired little boy sitting alone, making onlookers feel sad.

However, Gaara did not need sympathy.

“I know.”

Gaara stood up slowly, and the yellow sand on the ground gradually began to gather into the gourd on his back.

The yellow sand on the ground gradually dispersed, but a bloody smell drifted out.

Baki lowered his head and looked at the scarlet blood on the training ground and couldn’t help but ask, “Did someone come here again to assassinate you? You’re not injured, right?”

“Worrying about me getting injured?”

Gaara slowly raised his head and chuckled, “Hahahahaha… in this village, no one can hurt me!”
