Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 301 Sand Ninja Civil War (2)

"Hurry up and save me!"

Having lost control of his body, Chisuke helplessly watched as his body gradually turned golden. He immediately cried out for help, and then noticed that Rasa had stopped forming hand seals.

He was caught in the genjutsu of Yamori's Sharingan.

Mikami let out a soft sigh: "He's a tough guy to deal with. If he hadn't had a moment of mental turmoil at the last moment, I really wouldn't have had a chance to use the Sharingan's genjutsu."

Of course, this is also related to Mikami's lack of proficiency in genjutsu. If it were Itachi Uchiha from the anime, the situation would probably be different.

Nagato faced Shukaku's golden body and absorbed the chakra on Shukaku's surface, causing the golden color on Shukaku's body to disappear rapidly.

Nagato's right hand was aimed at Rasa, drawing Rasa to him, while Mikami raised his sword and beheaded Rasa, who was flying in mid-air.

Misho saw that Rasa had a slight smile on his face.

Perhaps in that less than half-second of illusion time, Rasa had already fulfilled his dream within the illusion space.

"Rasa's Magnet Release is very powerful. Sasori must be very interested in his corpse. Hmm, Orochimaru should be interested too."

Mikami took out a sealing scroll and sealed Rasa's body inside it.

Sensuke, having just deactivated his Tailed Beast Mode, witnessed this scene upon landing. His lips moved, but he said nothing, appearing somewhat angry but unable to express it.

Nagato, however, was more reasonable, saying to Yamori, "Give Rasa's head to Sensuke."

Among the corpses of ninjas, the heads are the most valuable because certain ninjutsu can extract information from the brains.

Nagato genuinely wanted to live peacefully with the Sand Village ninja and didn't want to upset Sensuke.

"Fine, you're stronger than me, so whatever you say goes."

Mikami complained and handed Rasa's body to Sensuke, who then expressed his gratitude to Nagato.

"Thank you very much. With this head, I can prove that Rasa is dead and demoralize the enemy."

Nagato smiled kindly and said, "Let's go support Sasori and Kakuzu."

When the three found Sasori and Kakuzu, they saw a large, devastated battlefield.

Countless puppets lay on the ground, which was littered with all sorts of blades and hidden weapons.

With just a glance, one could see traces of various ninjutsu techniques, and flames were still burning in some places.

The ground was crisscrossed with ravines, some more than ten meters deep, and some rocks were cut open, their cross-sections perfectly smooth.

Kakuzu saw Nagato, nodded, and said, "It seems you've resolved things on your end as well."

On the surface, apart from his tattered clothes, Kakuzu had no injuries. However, the scattered black lines around him and the broken masks in different locations indicated that Kakuzu was not without damage, at least losing three hearts.

Compared to Kakuzu, Sasori's situation was much worse.

The scorpion, now a puppet, has lost its left arm and right leg, and has a fist-sized hole in its abdomen.

Through this opening, you can see the view behind the scorpion.

Because of his limited mobility, Sasori sat on a rock, using chakra threads to select some puppet parts, intending to use these parts to temporarily complete his body.

Where is Chiyo?

Chisuke looked around but didn't find Chiyo, so he asked her a question.

Scorpion tossed the scroll in his right hand and said casually, "Here it is."

Chisuke politely said, "Could you give it to me temporarily? I need to use her corpse to fight the enemy. I'll return it to you in a few days."

After considering Sasori's hobbies, Chisuke continued, "Many ninjas will die in this war. I can give you any enemy corpses."

Sasori stopped what he was doing with his right hand, his mechanical eyes clicking as he looked at Chisuke.

After looking at it for two seconds, Sasori threw the scroll to Chisuke.

Chisuke caught the scroll and said happily, "Thank you!"

Instead of pursuing the routed enemy, the group waited there for a while.

Before long, Sensuke's subordinates gathered, and the Rain Ninja also arrived.

After quickly reorganizing the troops, Sensuke led his men to charge towards the Sand Ninja army.

At this moment, the Sand Ninja army was gripped by fear.

Originally, the Sand Ninja felt that the situation was settled after seeing Pakura's death. Whether they were willing or not, they believed that Rasa, the Kazekage, would inevitably take control of the Sand Ninja.

Except for a small number of ambitious individuals, most of the Sand Village ninja breathed a sigh of relief.

Rasa it is. As long as the Sand Village can stabilize and stop killing each other, we will be satisfied.

After all, it was a civil war, and both sides were once Sand Ninja, so most of them didn't have a high fighting spirit.

By the time Rasa led his men to pursue Sensuke, most of the villagers were preparing to return to the village.

In their view, even though Yoruichi was dead, Chisuke, despite being a Jinchūriki, was no match for Rasa.

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, they did not see the triumphant return of Luo Sha, but instead encountered a group of defeated soldiers.

"What happened! How come there are only so few of you left? Where is Lord Kazekage?!"

When the Sand Ninja who followed Rasa returned to the camp, they were questioned by Ebizo.

A terrifying thought arose in Ebizo's mind, his voice trembled, and his eyes were fixed on the Sand Ninja in front of him, hoping that the other party's next words would refute his suspicion.

Before Ebizo stood a Sand Ninja whose face was filled with terror. In a hoarse voice, he said, "We were attacked by Rain Ninja. The enemy is extremely powerful; we are no match for them."

Ebizo shouted, "I'm asking you, where is Lord Kazekage? Where is Chiyo?!"

The poor Sand Ninja shook his head in a daze, his voice as still as a stagnant pool, devoid of any emotion.

"We don't know, we don't know. The enemy's ninjutsu is too terrifying, the tailed beasts are too terrifying. If we get close to the battlefield, we'll die, we'll die..."

Clearly, witnessing the terrifying battle had shattered the mental fortitude of this once-elite Sand Ninja, and he would be unable to regain his composure without some rest.

Damn!

Unable to get any answers, Ebizo asked several other people, and received similar responses.

Because they weren't strong enough, they couldn't participate in the battle. They only saw that the battle was over and that Rasa and Chiyo hadn't appeared, so they fled back.

Ebizo's heart turned ice-cold.

Although no one witnessed Rasa and Chiyo being killed, Ebizo knew they must be dead.

If they were not dead, they would have contacted their subordinates.

The worst had happened. Suppressing his grief, Ebizo immediately ordered the Sand Ninja to build defenses and prepare to withstand the impending attack.

Most of the Sand Ninja army were not Rasa's direct subordinates. Some Jonin and Chunin, after receiving the order, naturally contacted the people who had just escaped.

With just a little analysis, it's clear that Luo Sha and the others are in grave danger.

If Yokura dies and Rasa dies as well, the plot will take a huge turn, and some people's thoughts are starting to stir.

Aside from Pakura and Rasa, there are no other Kazekage candidates in Sunagakure who can convince the public. If that's the case, then why can't it be me?!

Some of the stronger and more ambitious Jonin had a glint in their eyes as they secretly gathered their trusted people around them, quietly awaiting the latest news.

What news was it? Naturally, it was the news of Luo Sha's death.

Once they can confirm that Rasa is dead, they will act according to their own wishes.

As for Ebizo's orders?

Ah!

Without Kazekage, what is Ebizo anyway? Does he even have the right to order me around?
