Inside the Wind Shadow Building, in the Wind Shadow's office.

Many of the village's high-ranking officials were gathered.

Besides Rasa, Chiyo, Ebizo, Pakura, Mikawa, and Maki, some Jonin from the village were also present.

Everyone was listening to the report from the Anbu ninja below.

"Lord Kazekage, according to our Anbu in the Land of Birds, the advance team of the Stone Village has already entered the Land of Birds. The leader is the Four-Tailed Jinchuriki from the Stone Village. The Cloud Village is also approaching our Wind Country from the sea. The leaders are Dongtai, a Jonin from the Cloud Village, and the Two-Tailed Jinchuriki. I'm afraid they will reach the coastline of our Wind Country in two days at most. The Daimyo is already urging us to fight."

This caused a tense and uneasy atmosphere to permeate the entire office. The Sand Village was not the Leaf Village, possessing the confidence to face the invasion of two major ninja villages at the same time. Moreover, this time, the Cloud Village and Stone Village had directly dispatched two Tailed Beasts.

However, in contrast to the somewhat somber atmosphere in the office, Rasa said with ease.

"So, the Cloud Village and Stone Village have joined forces? Their first target is actually our Sand Village?"

Pakura said coldly.

"Looks like Kazekage, your plan has failed?"

"No..."

Rasa shook his head.

"This precisely shows that the current Stone and Cloud Villages urgently need us to help them break the deadlock. That's why they're using such a large force to scare us."

"Kazekage, are you saying that the Cloud and Stone Villages don't intend to go to war with us?"

Mikawa asked thoughtfully.

Rasa's answer was decisive.

"Of course. Putting aside the current situation, what benefits would the Cloud and Stone Villages gain from starting a war with our Sand Village? Furthermore, if they really wanted to fight us, how could they be so blatant? Even the Anbu could find out about the Cloud Village's Two-Tailed Jinchuriki being dispatched."

Ebizo nodded.

"The Kazekage is right. We only knew that the Cloud Village had successfully created the Eight-Tailed Jinchuriki, but regarding the Two-Tailed Jinchuriki, if the Cloud Village hadn't revealed it on their own initiative this time, we would probably have been caught off guard."

Ebizo's words also made many of the Jonin in the office breathe a sigh of relief.

Indeed, if the Cloud Village really wanted to attack the Sand Village, how could they leak such crucial information?

"Then what should we do next?"

Pakura asked.

"The plan remains the same. Whether it's the Leaf Village or the Cloud and Stone Villages, as long as it's a battlefield, it's a training ground for our village's ninjas. It's just that the enemy has changed. Pakura, how about I leave the Stone Village to you? The Four-Tailed Jinchuriki's Lava Release is of the same type of bloodline as your Scorch Release."

Pakura's eyes lit up.

"Lava Release, huh? No problem, I've wanted to fight a Jinchuriki for a long time."

Especially after mastering Star Release chakra, which greatly increased her chakra reserves, and developing Scorch Release chakra secret techniques.

"As for the Cloud Village, Mikawa, I'll leave that to you."

"No problem!"

Seeing the two agree, Rasa also instructed.

"Our strategy remains the same. As long as the Cloud and Stone Village ninjas don't cross the border of our Wind Country, let them do whatever they want. You only need to be responsible for stabilizing the front lines. If they want our Sand Village to help them attack the Leaf Village, they have to pay a price. Maki, next, send out the Anbu to be responsible for monitoring intelligence, supporting Mikawa and Pakura, and at the same time, we can't ignore the Leaf Village. We must prevent them from counterattacking."

"Understood, Lord Kazekage!"

Seeing that Rasa hadn't mentioned himself, Pakura asked curiously.

"Then what about you, Kazekage?"

"Me? Of course, I'll be stationed in the village, ready to support you at any time. It's not time for a real war yet. It's better for me, the Kazekage, not to move easily."

The plan to attack the Land of Fire was because Rasa, the newly appointed Kazekage, had not yet gained a firm foothold and had to take the lead to gain enough prestige. But now, after he had successfully secured his position as Kazekage, it would be inappropriate for him, as the Shadow of a village, to move so easily.

Not to mention that it would easily expose the Sand Village's internal weakness, it would also easily cause instability within the village.

Of course, the most important reason was that although Rasa had obtained the power of the Dragon Vein chakra through the [Karma], he had not yet mastered how to use the Dragon Vein chakra power proficiently due to the short time.

To put it simply, he had chakra, but no techniques.

What is ninjutsu?

In Rasa's understanding, it is a technique that uses corresponding chakra to kill people most efficiently.

And now, Rasa has a total of three types of chakra, including: Shukaku chakra, Star Release chakra, and Dragon Vein chakra.

Among them, Shukaku chakra is the easiest for Rasa to develop because of the Sand Village's inherited Magnet Release, the Second Kazekage's research, and Gaara's techniques in the plot. He can use a series of techniques almost without thinking.

As for Star Release chakra, its ability is very simple, it is to maximize the vitality of the ninja's body, so there is no need to develop too complicated techniques, just the Star Release chakra mode is already making the most of it.

Only Dragon Vein chakra...

Whether it is Inorganic Reincarnation, Object Transformation, Super-Speed Self-Healing, or Chakra Absorption, any one of these abilities, if developed well, can exist as a separate bloodline limit.

It is precisely because of this that Rasa is unwilling to waste it.

He wants to use his knowledge reserves as a Kage-level powerhouse to develop a series of techniques to perfectly and efficiently utilize these four abilities.

At the same time, he wants to understand Dragon Vein chakra as much as possible, hoping that in the future he can teach the others in the Sand Village to master the power of Dragon Vein chakra, just like Sage Mode.

As for the God Tree born from the Dragon Vein chakra fruit, Rasa studied it for a few days, but unfortunately, he has not been able to figure out what the God Tree is for, whether it is really the Ten-Tails, or something else, except for seeing some subtle changes it brought to the environment of the Sand Village.

With the limited time available, he can only put it aside for now and focus on developing Dragon Vein chakra...

Regarding the response plan for this attack by the Cloud Village and Sand Village, everyone discussed it for an hour and came up with a general response. Because of the confidence and composure shown by Rasa, the Kazekage, everyone's hearts were also much more at ease, without the initial panic.

"Remember, our goal remains unchanged. Our purpose has never been war, but to buy the village time and space to develop. Okay, let's go prepare according to the plan!"

"Yes!"

As Rasa gave the order, everyone in the office left one after another.

Before long, the office was empty.

At this time, Maki also walked in and said.

"Lord Kazekage, Lady Karura and Ms. Shingu have arrived."

"Well, let them in!"

With Karura and Shingu, who were curious, entered, Rasa naturally asked the two to sit down, and then said apologetically.

"I'm really sorry, Shingu, the matter of welcoming the people of Roran to join the Sand Village may have to be postponed for the time being."

In fact, the two who had been waiting outside had also seen a large group of ninjas, Pakura, Chiyo, and the others, walking out of Rasa's office just now, and they had nodded and greeted Karura and Shingu.

Karura took the initiative to ask for Shingu.

"Is the war about to start again?"
