Naruto: I became a super shadow in the Anbu.

Chapter 479 The Death of Rasa
Kakashi never expected that the fox minister would actually test him.

Why not continue targeting the Wind Shadow?

Kakashi immediately said, "Fox-sama, Minato-sensei said the village is not planning to send ninja forces into the Land of Rivers."

Our goal is to prevent Sunagakure from joining the war.

The ideal outcome would be to assassinate Feng Ying and leave without anyone noticing.

Minato is entangled with a mysterious enemy, and his assassination attempt fails.

If they were to continue their attack now and attempt to kill the Kazekage, it would provoke the militant faction in Sunagakure, who would then use the pretext of avenging the Kazekage to accelerate the war.

Ninjas never abandon their missions because the enemy is too strong; they often charge forward without hesitation when facing a formidable foe.

At this moment, killing Kazekage Rasa in front of everyone would not stop the war; it would only hasten it.

Ye Guang nodded and said, "Kakashi, your way of thinking is very good. You can think about problems from a holistic perspective and with the mindset of a Hokage."

Uchiha Momo's eyes widened in horror.

The fox minister actually praised Kakashi so highly. Could it be that Kakashi has already caught the eye of the village's higher-ups and has been designated by the village as a promising newcomer to be nurtured?
No wonder Kakashi became a Jonin at the age of 12.

Night Light said, "Kakashi, take Uchiha Momo and Nohara Rin and hide. The mission has encountered an unexpected situation that is beyond your team's capabilities. I will handle the rest."

Kakashi wanted to ask about their team's mission, but found that Minister Fox had disappeared.

In the distant Windbird City, Shukaku is engaged in a fierce battle with Kazekage Rasa.

Yellow sand and golden aventurine clashed together, creating rolling sand waves that engulfed and destroyed houses.

Luo Sha was anxious; he had to push Shukaku outside Fengniao City.

If Shukaku were to wreak havoc and destroy Kazekage Castle, the daimyo would be displeased, and that would affect the war budget.

Rasa had to waste a lot of chakra, injecting it into the ground to create gold dust. The gold dust covered all the ground around Shukaku, pushing Shukaku outwards.

Shukaku manipulated the sand and unexpectedly discovered that the gold dust was heavier than his sand and possessed considerable strength.

"That Second Kazekage, he actually managed to improve upon my Sand Manipulation Technique to create Magnet Release. What a damned guy."

Shukaku has a large amount of chakra. He slammed his claws into the ground, completely merging them into the sand. The surrounding desert was filled with Shukaku's chakra.

A massive sandstorm, even larger than the gold dust, appeared, overwhelming the enemy with sheer volume, and surged towards Luosha.

The sand caught Rasa, and Shukaku shouted:

"Gotcha! Desert Burial!"

Shukaku's sand suddenly contracted, pressing inward, trying to crush Rasa.

However, the sand only covered one gold dust sphere.

The gold-plated sphere is the absolute defense of the sand, withstanding pressure from all directions.

Shukaku was even more agitated. Rasa's chakra was far less than Shukaku's, but the quality of the gold dust was higher than Shukaku's sand.

Without that layer of gold dust, Shukaku's sand could crush Rasa into minced meat.

Just then, Shukaku suddenly heard a strange sound.

"Continue, let's use the desert burial once more!"

Shukaku finds it strange that someone can enter his soul world.

This person has a deep understanding of the soul and, like the Sage of Six Paths, can communicate with Shukaku on a soul level.

"who are you?"

"Don't worry about who I am. Just tell me if you want to kill Rasa, the successor of the Second Kazekage Shamon, and the leader of Sunagakure who has sealed you away for thirty years?"

Shukaku's claws groped in the sand, creating more sand with more chakra.

Larger waves of sand, like waterfalls, crashed onto the gold dust sphere.

Inside the sphere, Rasa remained remarkably calm. Although Shukaku was powerful, it could not break through his absolute defense.

The Second Kazekage created Magnet Release precisely to defeat Shukaku's sand with heavier iron sand. Just then, the sound of sand rubbing together made Rasa's scalp tingle.

Sand inexplicably passed through the gold dust sphere and appeared behind Luo Sha?
Do not!
impossible!
His absolute defensive gold sand sphere showed no flaws in chakra.

The sand that suddenly appeared crushed Luo Sha's joints with terrifying force.

Luo Sha overcame his initial fear, and the breath he had been holding in was released.

He slowly turned his head and saw that there was another person inside his gold-flecked sphere.

Fox mask...
Luo Sha suddenly remembered that when he rushed out of the Wood Release: Four Giant Trees Formation, his calf seemed to have been hit by something.

He lost. He lost completely.

As if the excruciating pain of having his bones crushed didn't exist, Luo Sha asked in a calm voice:

How would you treat Sunagakure and its ninja?

After thinking for a moment, Ye Guang realized that Luo Sha's head would be crushed soon, preventing any information from being leaked, so he said:

"Yakura will become the Fifth Kazekage and lead Sunagakure out of the war."

Rasa then asked, "Onoki said he wouldn't allow anyone to reap the benefits after the Anti-Konoha Alliance and the Konoha War, and he wouldn't allow any ninja village to remain unscathed during the Third Shinobi World War..."

"You can believe what Onoki says? Do you believe I'm the missing Third Kazekage, or do you believe what Onoki says about not allowing any ninja village to benefit from the situation?"

Luo Sha gave a bitter laugh and let the sand engulf him.

Throughout his life, he displayed exceptional talent from childhood, and while still at the Ninja Academy, he was taken in as a disciple by the Third Hokage.

He never slacked off in his youth, nor did he become arrogant because he was a disciple of the Third Hokage. He diligently practiced the Magnet Release technique every day.

In his youth, he studied government affairs and village management under his teacher.

Although they were no match for Konoha during the Second Shinobi World War, they made a name for themselves.

Unexpectedly, just a few months after becoming the Wind Shadow, he died tragically in Windbird City.

It's such a waste... This damned life, it wasn't worth all his hard work and dedication...
In Windbird City, Shukaku sat crouched in the collapsed city wall, looking at the noble mansion with a puzzled expression.

The mansion had long been destroyed by sand and wood release, and on the ruins lay a thick layer of sand from Shukaku.

Shukaku felt as if its sand had crushed something.

It removed the sand, revealing a handful of gold dust hidden within it.

The gold dust was mixed with Shukaku's sand, and more importantly, there were glaring bloodstains in both the gold dust and the sand.

At the top of the sand, there was also Luo Sha's distinctive reddish-brown hair...

"Kazekage-sama!"

The Sand Ninja screamed in terror.

Their Fourth Kazekage was actually killed by Shukaku!

Ye Cang originally thought that the assassination attempt by Fengzai had failed and that he would not be able to kill Fengying Luosha today. He did not expect that the fox would come to Fengniao City in person.

The fox came and went, and Yecang thought that Luosha was out of danger.

Unexpectedly, Luo Sha still died.

As a Sand Village ninja, seeing the Kazekage die in front of her caused Pakura's heart to pound faster and faster in panic.

Until Shukaku's piercing laughter echoed throughout Windbird City.

"Oh! Oh ha! Shamon! Did you see that! Your Magnet Release is nothing special, it can't compare to my Sand Release!"

Yekura's expression changed, and she said to the ninja beside her, "Quick! Seal Shukaku! We can't let it destroy Fengniao Castle!"

After completing the hand seals, Yekura released her diamond seal and charged towards Shukaku.

"Burning Release: Burning Jade!"
