Rasa walked in the shadows, skillfully avoiding the open and secret sentries around.
Although the war had begun, the Stone Village was still very lively late at night.
Those civilians had genuine smiles on their faces.
This was better than the state of civilians in the Sand Village.
Although the old man Onoki the Fence Sitter was stubborn, eccentric, sinister, and cunning...
Under his tough rule...
The Stone Village indeed hadn't had any blind guys causing trouble for a long time.
In previous Ninja World Wars, civilians of the Stone Village never worried that the enemy would attack the village.
There had never been a case where other villages threatened this village, and this village compromised obediently.
The Tsuchikage building in the Stone Village looked like a huge natural round stone, like an upright snail.
At this time, a short old man with a bulbous nose sat at the Tsuchikage's desk, silently flipping through the documents in his hand.
He flipped through while saying:
"Kitsuchi, five days later, you will personally lead the army to attack the border of the Land of Wind."
"Hmph hmph, the Sand Village is really finished. Actually letting a young man with no achievements be the Fourth Kazekage. Heaven is really helping me."
Not far from the desk, a tall and sturdy middle-aged man with an honest face nodded silently.
He was silent for a while, then suddenly said hesitantly:
"Father, if we besiege the Land of Wind like this, what if Konoha reaps the benefits in the end?"
Onoki didn't even raise his head, saying nonchalantly:
"I know that guy Hiruzen very well. As long as we don't actively attack the Land of Fire, they won't provoke us."
"Current Konoha is controlled by a bunch of doves. They can't wait for us to fight until our heads are broken and bleeding while they watch silently on the side."
"Even if they really act out of character in the end, it won't affect us. We just need to move the territory of the Land of Earth forward by a few hundred kilometers."
At this time, in a luxuriously decorated courtyard.
A blond child looking four or five years old was playing with a girl of two or three years old.
Several Stone ninjas wearing Jonin vests stood lazily around.
On the open ground not far away.
Rasa hid in the Kamui dimension, silently watching the two playing children in front of him.
There were many brats in the Stone Village.
There were also brats playing late at night; this was nothing strange.
However, if a three or four-year-old brat had a hideous small mouth on each hand...
And the small mouths were sticking out tongues, constantly licking around the palms, then it was very strange.
Rasa looked meaningfully at the two children.
This little boy with blond hair and strange mouths on his hands was young Deidara.
Looking at Deidara's somewhat innocent smile...
Rasa seemed to think of sixteen years later in the original work.
A genius boy of only nineteen, under the watchful eyes of all Sand ninjas, captured their Kazekage.
After teasing the entire Sand Village, the contemptuous smile when he left calmly.
And the cute black-haired little girl carved from pink jade playing with Deidara...
Looking at the awe-inspiring expressions of the surrounding Jonin when looking at this little girl, one knew.
This younger girl was the future Fourth Tsuchikage Kurotsuchi, also nicknamed "Leg Shadow".
Speaking of which, Rasa used to not quite understand why Kurotsuchi could become the Fourth Tsuchikage.
Obviously, Kurotsuchi's father Kitsuchi was stronger and more qualified to be the Fourth Tsuchikage.
Thinking back and forth, it could only be explained by Onoki liking his granddaughter more.
Half an hour later, it was close to midnight.
The two children also began to feel sleepy. After saying goodbye to each other in a friendly manner, they separated.
Accompanied by two Jonin, Deidara walked directly out of the courtyard.
And Kurotsuchi covered her mouth very elegantly with her hand, yawned, and walked gracefully into the courtyard.
The remaining two Jonin stood at the door, guarding silently.
Rasa blinked his eyes, and the Eternal Mangekyō Kamui activated silently.
A fluctuation suddenly appeared on the open ground.
Two Jonin immediately looked at the fluctuation vigilantly.
"Wha!"
Just shouting one word, the two Jonin froze on the spot.
How could two ordinary Jonin resist the power of the Eternal Mangekyō?
Even a Genjutsu expert like Kurenai Yuhi, under the premise of being prepared, was played around by Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyō.
Rasa walked quickly into the courtyard. Suddenly, two kunai flew directly at him with the sound of breaking wind!
But these two kunai remained motionless when they were still half a meter away from Rasa.
"Little Princess Kurotsuchi, why aren't you asleep yet? But your vigilance is praiseworthy!"
Kurotsuchi with a tense small face held several darts in her hands.
She looked nervously at the guy covered in a black robe, advancing unhurriedly, looking like a bad guy at a glance.
She just wanted to continue waving the darts in her hand.
But thinking of the strange scene where the two kunai were fixed by the mysterious person in front of her before.
Kurotsuchi's face, still retaining baby fat, was silent for a while, stepped back a few steps, and said nervously with a childish voice still carrying a milky tone:
"Who are you? My grandfather is the Third Tsuchikage. If you touch me, no matter who you are, he will absolutely not let you go!"
"A little girl less than three years old is actually so calm in this situation and can say such logical words. Not bad, not bad."
Rasa approached Kurotsuchi unhurriedly, clapping his hands and praising.
"Don't worry. After this sleep, you won't remember anything."
Hearing this, Kurotsuchi suddenly felt dizzy all over and lost consciousness directly.
Rasa squatted down, looking at Kurotsuchi who showed the potential of a great beauty at a young age.
"Tonight, your good friend Deidara will be controlled by Konoha with genjutsu, and the Five-Tails Jinchūriki Han will also be controlled by Konoha with genjutsu, losing his reason and destroying the Stone Village in Tailed Beast form directly."
"You feel very angry about this and decide to study ninjutsu hard from now on, determined to inherit your grandfather's Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
Kurotsuchi opened her eyes listlessly, her milky voice constantly repeating what Rasa said.
After repeating this for a few minutes, Rasa nodded with satisfaction.
Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique, this Kekkei Tōta.
Strictly speaking, could be learned through learning.
Onoki and his teacher were not from the same family, just a simple master-disciple relationship.
Yet under guidance, he could also develop the same Kekkei Tōta ability.
The Second Tsuchikage Mū was a true Kekkei Tōta user.
And Onoki the Fence Sitter was just an ordinary person with three chakra natures.
Since Mū could pass Dust Release to Onoki.
Then it naturally proved that Dust Release could indeed be taught artificially, without inheritance through bloodline.
Why Kurotsuchi in the original work couldn't learn Dust Release.
Maybe because she didn't work hard enough, or maybe because she wasn't talented enough.
Or maybe both.
But now that he had instilled this concept in Kurotsuchi, making her train hard from now on.
Then whether she learned it or not, her future strength would definitely be much stronger than her in the original work.
Best if she learned it; he would have another powerful helper in the future.
Doesn't matter if she didn't learn it.
Rasa stepped back a few steps, and his figure disappeared from the room.
And Kurotsuchi, with wide eyes and dull gaze, climbed slowly onto the bed and closed her eyes to sleep.
After a period of time.
In a house not far away.
Young Deidara opened his eyes abruptly, looking around vigilantly.
The mouths inside his hands under the quilt opened, constantly swallowing a ball of white clay.
"Someone come!"
Deidara looked nervously at the pitch-black surroundings and said tentatively.
However, after he shouted, there was no response around, and Deidara looked even more nervous.
A guy who could silently solve two Jonin.
Would he really be an opponent?
Regardless, blow up the house first to attract the attention of people around!
Thinking this, Deidara lifted the quilt abruptly.
"Explosive Clay: Little Bird!"
With this roar, several white birds flew out of the mouths of Deidara's hands abruptly.
The birds flew quickly to the surrounding walls, then flashed constantly and exploded with a bang!
After doing all this in half a second, Deidara clasped his hands together, and the mouths of his two hands kept spitting out balls of white clay.
That ball of white clay soon turned into a giant white owl.
Deidara sat on the owl without looking back and took off quickly into the sky.
Sitting on the owl, looking at the Stone Village buildings that had become tiny.
He gasped heavily, his face full of sweat.
For him now, less than four years old.
Using these ninjutsu in one breath within a few seconds.
Had almost consumed all the Chakra refined by his small body.
Deidara narrowed his eyes, looking nervously at the Stone Village below.
Only to find that still no lights were on, nor were there any shouts.
As if his house explosion had no impact.
Deidara's small head was full of doubts. He frowned slightly and decided to fly to the Tsuchikage office building.
However, in the next second, he froze on the spot!
In front of him, there was a man in black also flying in mid-air out of thin air!
Looking at this man in black flying strangely in mid-air.
Deidara roared, his hands throwing kunai constantly like afterimages!
The man in black seemed to have just reacted. Just as he wanted to turn around and leave, he was pierced in the back by the kunai catching up, falling weakly from mid-air.
"Guy playing tricks, I really thought it was some expert!"
Deidara snorted coldly. Blown by the cold wind in the middle of the night, he felt cold all over.
He hesitated for a while and flew quickly toward the Tsuchikage office building.
...
Rasa stood outside Deidara's bed.
Looking at Deidara lying on the bed, muttering to himself constantly.
Hands holding a kunai, stabbing into his own stomach, vitality slowly draining away.
He sighed lightly, his body disappearing into the darkness.
A few minutes later, the two Jonin controlled by genjutsu would wake up.
After they discovered the anomaly, if lucky, Deidara should be saved.
Rasa, looking at this young child at the critical moment, was somewhat soft-hearted.
In a courtyard a few kilometers away.
A tall ninja wearing crimson armor, covering his face with a scarf, and wearing a conical hat walked out of the courtyard.
This tall ninja was the Five-Tails Jinchūriki Han.
He frowned at the surroundings and said softly:
"Since you deliberately emitted Chakra fluctuations for me to detect, come out."
After saying this, a spatial fluctuation suddenly occurred dozens of meters to Han's left.
Seeing this, Han tensed slightly but looked at the spatial fluctuation confidently.
As the Five-Tails Jinchūriki, he had this confidence.
Jinchūriki Han, who had the Five-Tails beast Kokuō implanted in his childhood, as a top Jonin of the Stone Village in the Land of Earth.
In the last Ninja World War, he made great contributions to the Stone Village and gained quite a reputation.
Just his own strength and taijutsu alone were enough to rank at the forefront of all taijutsu ninjas in the Stone Village.
Moreover, relying on the Boil Release of the Five-Tails Kokuō.
It greatly enhanced Han's speed and immense strength. Unknown number of powerful enemies died under his speed and strange strength.
Therefore, Han waited confidently for this enemy to appear.
He was confident that within a second, across a distance of dozens of meters, he could subdue the enemy in front of him.
Looking at the figure of a man in black appearing in the space in front of him.
Han smiled coldly, his legs moved slightly, and his whole person disappeared in place!
Bang, Thud!
The sound of fists colliding rang out in the quiet courtyard!
Han looked incredulously at the man in black who easily blocked his attack in front of him!
He retreated quickly for more than ten meters, feeling the throbbing pain in his fists, looking at the calm and breezy man in black in front of him.
Han began to have a bad premonition in his heart.
At this time, after a few seconds passed.
Bursts of sonic booms from Han's rapid movement rang out in the courtyard.
Han took a deep breath. The physical strength of the man in black in front of him was definitely stronger than his!
In that case, if he couldn't beat him, couldn't he run?
Thinking this, Han just prepared to move, but suddenly felt stiff all over!
He looked down at the red Chakra starting to emerge from his body.
Han looked up in despair at the Eternal Mangekyō revealed by the man in black in front of him, murmuring:
"Controlling the Five-Tails in my body with genjutsu, and that Sharingan, are you from the Uchiha clan of Konoha?"
After saying this, Han lay weakly on the ground.
His body was soon wrapped in the red Tailed Beast Chakra cloak.
Rasa blinked his eyes. His eyes were still very normal black pupils.
The reason Han saw Mangekyō in his eyes.
Was just a hypnotic suggestion Rasa gave him.
As early as the first fist collision, he had already fallen into his genjutsu.
Rasa retreated slowly, disappearing into the darkness.
After Han lost his reason and transformed into Tailed Beast form, he would soon be noticed by people around.
He didn't want to face that old man, the Third Tsuchikage.
Dust Release was no joke.
Once hit, one would turn into atoms and disappear from the world.
Although in the original plot, Onoki seemed to miss everyone and the preparation time was particularly long.
But that was just plot necessity.
Looking at Onoki's performance when facing other moving lifeless objects.
One knew that when he really used Dust Release, it was fast and accurate.
Soon, after the genjutsu on the two Jonin outside Deidara's house was released.
They noticed the smell of blood in the house. After running in and finding the abnormality on Deidara, they began emergency first aid.
In the Tsuchikage office building.
"Father, Deidara was attacked."
Kitsuchi pushed the door open abruptly, his tone steady.
"Bastard! Martial law in the whole village immediately!"
Onoki slapped the table fiercely, and the solid wooden table shattered in half immediately.
Documents piled on the table also flew in the spacious office like flowers scattered by a fairy.
Boom!
Suddenly, a huge boom sounded outside the house, along with screams of men and women.
"What now? Why is it so noisy outside!"
"Lord Tsuchikage, Five-Tails Jinchūriki Han, for some reason, suddenly lost control and transformed into Tailed Beast form!"
A masked Stone Anbu appeared in the room, kneeling on one knee to report.
Although this Anbu tried hard to make his tone calm, it was still difficult to hide the panic.
"Why lose control at such a time?"
"Did anyone provoke him!"
After roaring this sentence, Onoki immediately floated in mid-air and broke out through the window!
