Rasa wasn't deliberately scaring himself!

The tranquility of Sunagakure is only temporary, even fleeting.

Once Rasa's actions in Sunagakure become known to spies from other ninja villages and spread throughout the ninja world, the other four nations will certainly not stand idly by, especially Konoha, who should already hate Sunagakure to the core.

Indeed, Konoha does hate Sunagakure at this time.

However, Konoha's hatred doesn't come from within, but from external sources.

In this operation by Sunagakure, in order to quickly seize a large amount of resources, both Maki and Ebizo targeted the great nobles in these seventeen cities, who had close ties with the Fire Country's daimyo, many even being siblings of the Fire Country's daimyo.

Now, having nearly ninety percent of their wealth plundered by Sunagakure is more painful than killing them.

After retreating from Sunagakure and the purpose of their actions being exposed, Konoha received orders from the Fire Country's daimyo every few days, demanding that Konoha spare no effort to retrieve these nobles' treasures from Sunagakure.

Konoha was naturally willing to do so.

After learning the true purpose of Sunagakure, Konoha realized that they had been caught in Sunagakure's trap from the very beginning, not only causing internal divisions within the village but also becoming the fuse for Kumogakure and Iwagakure to attack Konoha.

But even if Konoha was dissatisfied, they could only choose to endure at this time.

Because compared to the future threat of Sunagakure, the threat of Kumogakure and Iwagakure was the most pressing concern for Konoha.

In the past half month, Konoha's situation on the battlefield had not been good.

Fighting on two fronts put tremendous pressure on Konoha.

Firstly, Konoha's battle against Kumogakure could be said to be a series of defeats.

After learning that the commander of Konoha's front line was Orochimaru, an enemy of Kumogakure, Kumogakure's ninjas could be said to have held nothing back, even the Third Raikage came to the front line, with only one goal: to defeat Konoha while killing Orochimaru.

For this reason, the Third Hokage had no choice but to leave the village and come to the front line, which stopped Konoha's decline.

As for the battle against Iwagakure, Konoha's situation was also not optimistic.

Although Iwagakure's attack this time was relatively restrained, not deploying all their elites, just the two Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts made Konoha's ninjas feel very helpless. If it weren't for Minato's Flying Thunder God guiding lightning, Konoha's ninjas would have died under the Tailed Beast Bombs of these two Tailed Beasts long ago.

As for Jiraiya, although he was also very strong, he was still somewhat reluctant to use his own power to fight against war weapons like Tailed Beasts without using Sage Mode.

It should be known that Iwagakure's two Jinchuriki were able to completely transform into Tailed Beasts.

In their words, if you want to deal with them, let Konoha's Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki come. Others, they don't care about at all.

What's even more troublesome is that, in addition to Kumogakure and Iwagakure, Kirigakure's ninjas also appeared in Konoha's rear in the form of mercenaries, often raiding Konoha's convoys responsible for escorting grain and supplies, making Konoha suffer from both the front and the rear, and struggling to cope.

The current Konoha is no longer the glorious period of World War II.

Whether it was the internal strife in the village, Sakumo Hatake's suicide, or Tsunade's departure, all made the village fall into a state of stagnation.

The current Konoha urgently needs a way to break the situation.

And the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Onoki, had the same idea as Konoha.

Earth Country, Iwagakure.

Iwakage Building.

The short Onoki snorted coldly after seeing the information about Sunagakure collected by the village's spies.

"What simple thinking, that Fourth Kazekage brat from Sunagakure wants to be self-sufficient, watching us fight to the death, and then reap the benefits?"

Thinking of this, he directly summoned the Anbu, handed them a scroll he had prepared, and then asked the Anbu to send it to the Third Raikage of Kumogakure in his name.

A day later, the Third Raikage on the front line received a letter from Onoki.

Everyone in Kumogakure was surprised to hear that the Third Tsuchikage had actually sent someone to deliver a letter.

From the beginning of this war until now, although both villages were attacking Konoha and had a common enemy, the two villages had never had formal contact at the Kage level.

The Third Raikage was also a little curious and opened the scroll to take a look, immediately letting out a disdainful snort.

This made the future Fourth Raikage and Dodai on the side a little curious.

"Old man, what did that old guy Onoki say?"

The Third Raikage handed the scroll in his hand to Dodai and said.

"What else could it be? That Onoki is too fond of scheming, wanting us to jointly put pressure on Sunagakure and have Sunagakure attack Konoha as well."

"Why?"

The future Fourth Raikage's political wisdom was still a bit weaker at this time.

Dodai explained from the side.

"The Third Tsuchikage doesn't want Sunagakure to reap the benefits. According to the information we received, after Sunagakure's plan to invade the Fire Country a few days ago succeeded, they obtained a large amount of military spending. Now, Sunagakure's Fourth Kazekage is preparing to use these military expenses to vigorously develop Sunagakure. Onoki obviously doesn't want Sunagakure to develop."

The future Fourth Raikage instantly understood.

"Then old man, should we agree?"

"Hmph! Why not? This is beneficial to our Kumogakure's plan to attack Konoha."

"But what if this Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure doesn't agree?"

"Don't worry, this kid is a smart person. He knows the pros and cons. Of course, if I'm wrong, then I'll use my fist to tell this Sunagakure kid how to choose!"

Speaking of this, the Fourth Raikage also thought of something and said to Dodai.

"Speaking of which, our Kumogakure can also learn from this kid's plan. The Fire Country is a fertile land flowing with oil!"

Dodai immediately understood.

"Understood, Raikage-sama, I will arrange it."

At this time, Rasa had no idea that his peaceful days were about to leave him, and Kumogakure and Iwagakure would soon jointly put pressure on him, forcing Sunagakure to attack Konoha.

However, even if he knew, he would temporarily ignore it, because he was already on his way to Rouran.

"Dragon Vein Chakra!"

This was his goal this time.

Because of the previous two experiments, he had roughly understood some of the abilities of the [Karma] on his body. Simply put, it was that he could absorb chakra and transform the special power in the chakra into his own use, such as the sand control technique and cursed seal contained in Shukaku's chakra, and the body activation in the Star Chakra.

This made him even more expectant of the increase in power that Dragon Vein Chakra might bring him.

Because he remembered that Dragon Vein Chakra possessed the power of space-time, taking Naruto Uzumaki in the plot to the past, and the power of space-time, no matter in which world's power system, was the most advanced, and Naruto was no exception, Minato's Flying Thunder God, Obito's Kamui.

If he could obtain the power of space-time by absorbing Dragon Vein Chakra, then his safety in the ninja world would be greatly improved, at least if he couldn't beat them, he could still run...
