"Specialty?"
Rasa was a bit confused by Satoshi's logic.
Sunagakure was very poor, there was nothing good he could give him. It's not like your Konoha, which has vast lands and abundant resources.
As Kazekage, he had to dig for gold every day to subsidize the treasury, and even then, it was still operating at a deficit... Wait a minute.
A flash of white light crossed Rasa's mind.
This bastard doesn't want gold, does he?
Rasa's fists hardened.
Gold is money, and money is life. Satoshi wanting money was like wanting his life.
"Satoshi, we work hard every day digging for gold. We will never give it to you, no matter what. This is a principle."
Satoshi looked at Rasa with an expression that said, "Are you an idiot?" "Did I say I wanted gold? Would I do something so shameless?"
Huh?
Rasa paused.
"If not gold, then is it a Tailed Beast?"
Rasa raised his voice, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"One Tail is Sunagakure's protective charm, no matter..."
Satoshi couldn't help but laugh. "Is One Tail so amazing? Did you forget that Konoha has a Nine-Tails?"
"It only needs to release a little Chakra to beat One Tail until it can't even lift its head."
Rasa fell silent.
He suspected that Satoshi wasn't here to ask for help at all, but rather to cause trouble.
Satoshi narrowed his eyes. "I heard there's a ninja named Pakura who possesses a Kekkei Genkai called Scorch Release."
Rasa's face darkened.
Pakura had died long ago. Was Satoshi being sarcastic with them?
He was getting annoyed.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"I'm very interested in Scorch Release. Hand over the relevant secret scrolls to me."
Rasa snorted coldly, "What an arrogant brat."
"Scorch Release requires combining Fire and Wind Chakra within the body in a perfect ratio. It's not as simple as you imagine, just fusing Wind Release and Fire Release."
[Ninja World Scientist activated.]
[You have understood the basic principles of Scorch Release, and your internal Chakra meets the conditions for the Scorch Release Kekkei Genkai.]
[You have mastered Scorch Release and its related Ninjutsu.]
Satoshi waved his hand. "Then never mind. Just owe it to me for now. I'll ask for it when I've thought about it."
Rasa: ?
Damn it, this guy was toying with him.
Rasa wanted to tear Satoshi apart with his bare hands.
Now, an underage person from Konoha dared to be so disrespectful to him. Did they really think his Sunagakure was a pushover?
He would endure for now.
Satoshi yawned and kicked the unconscious Gaara to Baki.
"Tomorrow morning, I expect to see your action plan. Otherwise, I will truthfully report tonight's assassination attempt to Hokage-sama."
After saying that, Satoshi slowly disappeared around the corner.
"Kazekage-sama, this brat is a bit troublesome."
"Hmm."
Satoshi's performance today far exceeded their expectations.
Although the guy inside Gaara was only One Tail, it was still a Tailed Beast. A dying camel is still bigger than a horse.
But who would have thought that their powerful weapon would be mercilessly destroyed tonight, and they would also be ridiculed?
Looking at the village below, which had turned into ruins, a surge of anger rose in Rasa. He naturally vented his anger on Gaara.
"If it weren't for you, this jinx, the village wouldn't have become like this."
"From today onwards, Gaara is not allowed to step out of his room without my command."
Baki could only nod.
Were all Jinchuriki throughout history destined to be imprisoned?
After all this, Rasa and Baki returned to the office.
The commotion at night was so great that it naturally alerted Ebizo and Chiyo, the Advisors. The two of them had rich combat experience and meticulous minds. They were much stronger than those two guys in Konoha.
The fact that Sunagakure could still endure under such harsh conditions was largely due to their important contributions.
"Did Gaara go berserk again?"
"Yes."
"Is the ninja who summoned multiple toads and used powerful Water Release in the desert the envoy sent by Konoha?"
"Yes."
Ebizo and Chiyo exchanged glances, reading different things from each other.
They felt that something was amiss.
Given Konoha's strength, there was no need for them to travel all the way to Sunagakure to seek their help, was there?
The village was currently preoccupied with its own problems.
Finding two rogue ninjas, an unknown masked man and Orochimaru, who couldn't be found even by Konoha in such a vast territory as the Land of Wind, was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
They also had a rogue ninja named Sasori. He was a genius puppeteer in the village back then, and his whereabouts were still unknown.
"Is Konoha trying to seek our help, or are they demonstrating their power to us?"
Ebizo felt that the latter was more likely.
Some time ago, they had just announced that they had established a long-term cooperative relationship with Kirigakure. At the same time, Konoha also expressed its beautiful wish for peace in the Ninja World.
However, according to intel, Kirigakure's cooperative relationship was only superficial. But Yagura was still being held hostage in Konoha. From this perspective, it was likely that Kirigakure was a subordinate of Konoha.
And Sunagakure, after being devastated in the Third Great Ninja War, had also signed an alliance with Konoha. It was somewhat like a subordinate village.
However, the arrogant Fourth Kazekage would never admit this, always wanting to find some soft targets to bully and strengthen his own power.
So, he had been constantly making small moves against the surrounding small countries.
Ebizo speculated that perhaps Konoha had caught wind of it but couldn't say it directly, so they sent Satoshi to scare them.
We have an underage person who is already so fierce, so you Sunagakure should just give up on that idea.
Ebizo said, "Hiruzen, truly worthy of being Tobirama's student, possesses such terrifying cunning."
Chiyo gasped, "If you hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten that he was the student of the terrifying Tobirama."
With such a title, they suddenly felt that Hiruzen was very dangerous.
That was Tobirama's student, how bad could he be?
Rasa rubbed his temples. "Gentlemen, what are your thoughts?"
"Then let's cooperate with his investigation and show our sincerity. After some time, when they can't find the person they're looking for, that brat will naturally leave."
Rasa nodded, taking their advice.
"Baki, starting tomorrow, you will accompany Satoshi to investigate the whereabouts of the rogue ninjas."
Baki was very helpless, he felt that this was not a good assignment. Years of experience gave him a bad premonition.
Facts proved that Satoshi did not disappoint him.
In less than a week, Baki lost ten pounds. It wasn't just the pressure of work, what was even more terrifying was Satoshi's skill at extracting information.
This kid, he didn't know who he learned it from, but he always managed to get information about Sunagakure inadvertently. It got to the point where he even knew what color underwear Rasa wore.
The slow-witted Baki broke into a cold sweat. If Kazekage-sama found out, he would surely skin him alive. So he also tried to get information from Satoshi, but Satoshi just blurted it out.
"Satoshi, is it hard work in Konoha normally?"
"It's alright." Satoshi swallowed his flatbread with effort.
"It's been quite a lot recently, something happened in the village."
Satoshi suddenly covered his mouth, feigning sincerity.
"Am I leaking village secrets, Baki-senpai? Can I trust you?"
Baki's face was practically splitting with a smile as he said, "Yes, of course you can. Konoha and we are beloved family, brothers and sisters."
