Seeing this, Minato understood what was happening.

He looked left and right across the battlefield, his brow furrowing even more.

Because this conflict between the two villages had only just erupted, the Konoha ninjas had already suffered a significant blow. The Chunin and Jonin were able to withstand the attacks of the Sunagakure ninjas for a while, but the Genin were all being cut down like vegetables.

Shibi and the others' opponents were also very troublesome.

Shibi's insects and Inuzuka Kiba's ninja dogs techniques were completely countered by Pakura's Scorch Release from Sunagakure. They couldn't even get close, as they would be killed by the evaporation of the water in their bodies by the high-temperature fireballs.

As for Choji and Tanto, their Multi-Size Technique could only barely hold on against Mikawa's Iron Sand.

As for why the two sides didn't switch opponents, that would require the Sunagakure ninjas to agree.

Pakura and Mikawa, who had already learned about Konoha's intelligence from Rasa, would never allow their enemies to get their way.

It should be known that Pakura's Scorch Release was fine, even if she changed opponents, she could still deal with the Akimichi clan's close-combat ninjas, but Mikawa would be in trouble. The Aburame clan's insects also had a restraining effect on Iron Sand, absorbing the chakra on the Iron Sand and causing Mikawa to lose control of it.

Seeing this, Minato stood below Rasa's pyramid of gold dust, his expression serious.

"So, Kazekage of Sunagakure, what exactly is your purpose?"

"Purpose? My purpose is very simple. Konoha must hand over the culprit who killed our Third Kazekage: Danzo, and compensate Sunagakure for our losses. We can withdraw our troops immediately. Otherwise, Sunagakure and Konoha will fight to the death!"

"!!!"

At this moment, Minato had no choice.

Although neither he nor Rasa could do anything to the other in their battle at this moment, the Konoha ninjas could no longer hold on, and there was also Elder Ken. If something happened to him, he would not be able to explain it to Mount Myōboku and Master Jiraiya.

"I understand. Then, let's call a temporary truce. Please give me seven days. In these seven days, I will tell the village everything that happened here, and then the village will make a decision!"

"Three days! I'll only give you three days! If there is no answer after three days, we will declare war on Konoha!"

"!!!"

Minato knew that three days was absolutely impossible.

"Five days! Three days is too short. We still need to investigate some things! As the Kage of Sunagakure, you should understand that Elder Danzo is an elder of our Konoha village."

Rasa frowned.

"Four days! This is my final deadline. At dawn four days from now, if I don't get an answer, then don't blame Sunagakure for taking action."

Minato was also a little helpless.

"I understand. Then, let's call a truce!"

"Hmph!"

Rasa snorted coldly and waved his hand to signal a retreat.

The Sunagakure ninjas, who were in the midst of a fierce battle with Konoha, heard the order to retreat. Although they were somewhat unwilling, because the village had already conveyed to them through the Jonin last night that the main goal of this war was to survive, everyone stopped fighting and withdrew from the battlefield.

Seeing this, the Konoha ninjas also breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at the corpses of the Chunin and Genin scattered all over the ground, they gritted their teeth.

At this moment, Rasa's voice resounded across the battlefield of both sides.

"Remember your promise, Konoha ninjas! I'll give you four days. If you don't hand over the culprit who killed the Third Kazekage: Danzo, this war will definitely not end so easily. We're retreating."

At this moment, while hating the Sunagakure ninjas, the Konoha ninjas also felt a trace of resentment towards Elder Danzo in the village.

Seeing the Sunagakure ninjas retreating, Minato also returned to his side.

"What do we do now?"

Choji Akimichi, covered in cold sweat and panting, asked.

Minato looked at the departing Sunagakure ninjas and sighed, saying to Inuzuka Kiba.

"Kiba, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to return to the village this time and tell the Hokage everything that happened here!"

Since Elder Danzo was involved, simply conveying the information was not enough. It had to be a ninja with weight and status to personally bring this information to the village.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

On the Sunagakure ninja side.

Rasa led everyone to retreat while beckoning Yura of the Anbu to approach.

"Your Anbu must convey what happened here today to Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Konoha as soon as possible, especially the Uchiha clan of Konoha!"

"Understood, Kazekage-sama!"

In an instant, under Yura's leadership, several Anbu ninjas left the troop.

When they arrived at the Sunagakure camp, everyone went down to rest.

At this time, Mikawa approached and said.

"I have some things I want to ask you?"

Seeing this, Pakura couldn't help but walk over.

"Let's talk in the camp tent!"

Walking into the camp tent, the two sat down. Seeing the impatient Mikawa, Rasa directly reached out to stop Mikawa, who wanted to speak, and said.

"I know what you want to ask? But now, the Third Kazekage can only be killed by Konoha's Danzo. This is the most beneficial answer for our Sunagakure at present."

Mikawa instantly understood Rasa's meaning. He was a little unwilling, and had countless questions in his heart, but seeing that Rasa had no intention of answering at all, he could only give up.

Pakura also understood something, and looked at Rasa in surprise, but she didn't ask the doubts in her heart, but changed the subject and asked.

"Is four days too much time to give Konoha? If they prepare, our situation will be very troublesome!"

"Don't worry, I've already asked the Anbu to pass on what happened today to the other countries. Kumogakure and Iwagakure will definitely take action."

Seeing that Rasa had already arranged everything, Pakura also felt relieved.

For some reason, recalling what had happened these days, Rasa's resourcefulness made Pakura truly begin to recognize Rasa as the Kazekage.

At this moment, Rasa spoke.

"In the next four days, Konoha shouldn't have any movement. This place is also relatively stable, so I plan to secretly return to the village. I'll leave this place to the two of you for the time being."

This surprised the two of them, but they didn't ask what Rasa was going back to the village for.

This was not something they should ask.

Whether they agreed with Rasa in their hearts or not, the fact that Rasa was the village's Kazekage was indisputable.

Moreover, there was no possibility of conflict between the two sides in the short term.

Even if there was, Sunagakure's current military strength was fully capable of dealing with it.

As for what was the purpose of Rasa leaving?

Of course, it was to continue to use the [Karma] to enhance his strength.

Through this battle, he was already able to feel that with his current strength, he could only fight against one Minato Namikaze, and still couldn't determine the winner. If Konoha had another expert of Minato's level participating in the war, then he simply wouldn't be able to cope. Therefore, he had to raise his strength to another level before the next war began.

As for the next target to choose, Rasa already had a plan.

When it comes to the best chakra to obtain at this time, it is naturally the Star from that small Hoshigakure: the Star...
