Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

It could only be said that she was indeed the future Karin's mother.

At this moment, appearing before Rasa was a girl who bore an eighty percent resemblance to Karin from the future storyline.

Judging by her age, she looked to be about thirteen or fourteen, very young, with the Uzumaki clan's unique red eyes and hair, wearing clothes that resembled prison garb, her exposed skin covered in bite marks, and looking at Rasa with fear and unease.

This caused Rasa to frown slightly and say to the few high-level officials from Kusagakure beside him with some displeasure.

"Release her restraints!"

"Yes... Yes..."

Feeling Rasa's anger, these people instantly became flustered and immediately ordered the jailer to unlock the shackles on Hanataba's hands.

"Clang!"

The shackles binding Uzumaki Hanataba's chakra were opened, falling to the ground with a crisp sound.

Then, Hanataba, who had originally been fearful and uneasy, suddenly widened her eyes as if she had seen something incredible, looking at Rasa with a surprised gaze, her lips slightly moving.

This change naturally couldn't escape the notice of everyone here.

Rasa was, of course, also very curious.

However, he had no intention of getting the answer here.

Now that he had obtained the person he wanted, there was no need to continue staying in Kusagakure.

A cloud of gold dust gathered beneath their feet.

The weak girl was startled and sat down heavily, unable to stand steadily.

Fortunately, the sand was very soft.

Rasa ignored the hidden resentful gazes of the Kusagakure ninja, directly dispelled the ninjutsu surrounding Sunagakure, and slowly flew into the sky, leaving Kusagakure.

In this world, possessing absolute power meant being unreasonable.

Rasa's figure quickly disappeared from the sight of the Kusagakure ninja.

Upon seeing this, the Kusagakure ninja revealed resentment and immediately began transmitting all the information here to Konoha.

--------------------------------------------------

In the forest ten kilometers outside Kusagakure.

Rasa was not in a hurry to return to the village, but waited quietly here.

Before long, Kuroari's figure appeared beside Rasa in a flash, and after taking a look at the somewhat dazed Uzumaki clan survivor beside Rasa, he said.

"Reporting to Kazekage-sama, the bait has been released!"

"Mm, then let's set off too!"

"Understood!"

In the forest, twelve figures flickered and disappeared into the forest, clearing the way for Rasa in advance.

Rasa then re-controlled the gold dust cloud and flew up.

His flying speed was not fast, because although the bait had been thrown out, he still needed to wait for the fish to take the bait.

Next, they would first cross the Kusagakure, then enter the Land of Fire, reach the Land of Rivers, and finally return to the Land of Wind.

As for why not choose a closer route and directly pass through the Land of Rain to return to the Land of Wind.

Because in terms of weather, the Land of Rain, filled with rain, was still very restraining to Rasa's current abilities.

Next would be a very crucial battle, and Rasa would not leave himself any flaws.

At this time, Rasa finally turned his attention to the girl beside him.

Unlike the fear and unease she showed during their first meeting, Rasa noticed that after the shackles on her body were unlocked, the girl in front of him was looking at him with a curious and surprised gaze.

Feeling Rasa's gaze turn towards her as well, the girl named Hanataba revealed a trace of panic.

This made Rasa somewhat curious.

"You don't seem to be afraid of me!"

Hanataba was startled, then her weak lips moved slightly, and she said nervously in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Chakra, your chakra is very warm!"

This was an answer that surprised Rasa.

Rasa certainly remembered that in the storyline, Karin's sensory abilities were also very outstanding, and she also had a sensory ability called Kagura Shingan, but wasn't that only for chakra? But now, the Uzumaki Hanataba in front of him could even sense the Sage Art energy in his body.

So, he asked curiously.

"You can sense the power within me?"

Hanataba nodded her head somewhat fearfully, but her voice was slightly louder as she said.

"Mm... It's different from all the chakra I've ever sensed... It's... As warm as the sun..."

"As warm as the sun!?"

Listening to the girl's weak voice, Rasa's expression shifted slightly.

However, he didn't ask any more questions, but took out some food and water from his clothes and placed them in front of Hanataba.

"Your body is too weak, eat something to replenish your strength first, next, there will be a battle!"

Hanataba's eyes widened in surprise, and then, without hesitation, she grabbed the food and water and desperately stuffed them into her mouth!

Rasa wanted to comfort her and tell her to eat slowly, but after thinking about it, he didn't do anything more.

And so, time slowly passed.

About two hours later, Kuroari appeared beside Rasa once again.

"Reporting to Kazekage-sama, the message from the Anbu is that Konoha's Danzo is leading thirty Konoha Jonin to intercept us on the way."

Hanataba, who had finished eating and recovered somewhat, paled.

Although she didn't know what was happening so far, she still understood what thirty Jonin meant.

This reminded her of when her hometown, the Uzumaki clan, was destroyed.

Then, she heard Rasa's confident voice.

"Thirty Jonin? That's quite the investment! Continue to act according to the original plan! Let me see who is the mantis and who is the oriole!"

"Understood, Kazekage-sama!"

Hanataba stared blankly at all of this.

Although she didn't understand what was happening, she still vaguely felt a sense of unease.

Just then, Rasa spoke.

"You should already know, I am Sunagakure's Fourth Kazekage: Rasa, this time I came here personally to bring you to Sunagakure, because Sunagakure needs the power of the Uzumaki clan."

Hanataba's eyes dimmed.

However, she was already used to this, because she knew that her greatest value was only the Uzumaki clan's blood flowing in her body.

"So, are you willing to join Sunagakure?"

Seeming to recall her unbearable past, Hanataba said in a calm but sorrowful tone.

"Sunagakure, Kusagakure, it makes no difference to me..."

As she spoke, she hugged her knees and curled up into a ball.

Rasa felt the sadness in this girl's heart, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice.

"I don't like to say hypocritical words, but there is one thing I can promise in the name of the Kazekage, in Sunagakure, no one will bully you again..."

Uzumaki Hanataba's red eyes trembled slightly, her gaze filled with some anticipation, yet also with some unease.

Seeing this, Rasa didn't say any more nonsense.

"You should recover your body first, there will be a battle next, but don't worry... Everything is according to plan...."

Rasa didn't plan to send Hanataba back to the village alone, because he couldn't completely trust the strength of his subordinates, and also, he alone as bait wouldn't be able to lure Danzo into lowering his guard, so Uzumaki Hanataba had to stay by his side...
