Born in Sunagakure, dedicated to antagonizing Konoha for decades

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't even cry...

If you're so good, just tell me! I'd make you the head of the Anbu without a problem. Why are you playing the low-key card? Do you think I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, am a jealous person?! (′???)σ

However, the man is already dead, so there's no point in saying anything now. Hiruzen Sarutobi's current thought is that if he, Might Guy, is this powerful, his son Might Guy certainly won't be any less so. He needs to bring the man back to prove himself to Might Dai while also protecting Might Guy. Although he doesn't know what forbidden technique Might Dai activated, he can tell from the intelligence that it's a death-defying forbidden technique. He's genuinely afraid that Might Guy might act recklessly like him in a moment of passion, which would be disastrous. Such a one-time use artifact can change the course of a war if used correctly, but it will lead to disaster if used incorrectly. Might Guy is the same age as his youngest son, an age where he's prone to impulsive and foolish actions. So what he needs to do now is comfort the boy's wounded heart and make sure he doesn't do anything foolish. Although he, Might Dai, suffered a loss, he did manage to cripple the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, leading to a great victory for Konoha, so it wasn't a huge loss.

But if this kid were to use forbidden techniques to mess with those low-level Jonin and end up getting himself killed, he'd really have to ask the Second Hokage to come out of his coffin...

........

"Holy crap! Isn't this the Eight Gates Formation? Teacher, you didn't actually learn it from this Might Guy, did you? (?Д?)ノ"

If we're talking about who else in the world, besides the green-skinned father and son, knows the Eight Gates best, it would only be "Conan's dad," who is also practicing the Eight Gates. While everyone in the Sand Village was wondering what forbidden technique this perennial genin used to be so powerful that he could kick the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist with one kick, "Conan's dad" had already figured it out. Moreover, the way his body emitted blue light was exactly the same as the Eight Gates; how could he not know?

"Hiss....(⊙_⊙)"

Upon hearing "Conan's father's" words, the people in the camp gasped in shock, glancing at him before turning to Masato, whose face showed a hint of sadness. It turned out that their village also possessed such an incredibly powerful forbidden technique, and this guy had even tricked him into learning it from someone else. The crucial point was that Kudo Yusaku had actually practiced it, and the main issue was that none of them knew about it. Thinking of that Konoha genin who had kicked the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, everyone looked at "Conan's father" with trepidation.

"...Can't you see that the teacher isn't in a good mood and isn't in the mood to talk? Sigh, this is someone who dedicated his life to pursuing his dreams..."

Shinto felt a pang of sadness as he looked at the photo of Green-skinned Dai in the file. The scene of him transforming into Kakashi Kamen Rider and tricking him replayed in his mind. Even though they were enemies, such a person commanded respect wherever he went...

705. This is a pure dreamer.

To be honest, Green Skin Dai has been too low-key all these years. He had almost forgotten that Green Skin Dai even existed after all these years since he transmigrated here. Only now did he remember that there was such a person in Konoha, a pure dreamer.

"Speaking of which, without him, you wouldn't be who you are today. In a way, he's like a mentor to you. My taijutsu is something others can't learn because of my natural talent, and I can't teach it either. If you hadn't happened to meet him in Konoha back then, you wouldn't have achieved what you have today. It's a pity... being born in Sunagakure and not being able to share a drink with him is a great regret in life..."

“............”.

Everyone fell silent as they looked at Masato's sorrowful face, instantly lifting the somber atmosphere. However, for some reason, there was a hint of schadenfreude lurking beneath his mournful expression...

"Teacher, do you think I should wear mourning clothes or something to show my respect...?"

After hearing what Masato said, "Conan's dad" also felt that it made sense. In fact, over the years, his teacher hadn't really taught him anything. At most, he would just brag to him and impart some experience in the ninja world. However, he couldn't learn his teacher's experience in the ninja world, lest he be ambushed in the bushes when he went out. When he was young and ignorant, he thought his teacher's boasts were very interesting. Now that he thought about it, he was self-taught just because he had his teacher's name. What he learned was the eight secret techniques of ninjutsu that his teacher tricked from the strongest genin, as well as the wind and earth techniques that the village gave him.

However, his ninjutsu talent is just so-so. He doesn't have a super blue potion, and his talent is just average. His main skills are still these eight escape techniques. It seems that what the teacher said is not wrong.

"Wearing mourning clothes is fine, there's no need for such formalities with a major battle at hand. If you can control your restless youth and focus more on the Eight Formations, you'll have done your duty to his spirit in heaven. Let me tell you, his son has also learned the Eight Formations, and his physical talent is even more impressive than yours. If you waste your youth on academic exchanges about the human body, and his son surpasses you, you'll lose face. I can't afford to lose face like that. I'm so awesome, how can I accept a disciple who can't even compare to the son of that green-skinned man?"

The somber atmosphere had passed. Masato glanced at "Conan's dad" with annoyance. Ever since he experienced the feeling of yin and yang harmony, Masato had been getting worse day by day. The ambition he once had to climb to the top for his family was gone. After studying the Eight Gates for so many years, he was still only at the level of six or seven gates. Without opening the Eight Gates, he was just a Jonin with slightly stronger taijutsu. In Sunagakure, reaching the level of Jonin at his age would be enough, but in the entire circle of geniuses in the ninja world, it was a bit insufficient. Opening the Six Gates, he could only beat up Onoki's sneaky son for a few minutes. He couldn't kill him, and after a few minutes, he was beaten up by him. Masato's current level of opening the Eight Gates was only above the level of a Kage, but not quite a Kage. And that was only for those few minutes of real manhood. His usual level was only at the level of a Jonin. In this war-torn era where even the most powerful can perish, to be honest, the level of a Jonin was really not enough.

Among his disciples, he put the most effort into "Conan's father," but in the end, he was the one who disappointed him the most.

He didn't need to worry too much about either Meichuan Nei or Yekura. Although Meichuan Nei's legs were crippled, he had now become a scientist. Although he couldn't reach the level of developing forbidden techniques like Senju Niji and Orochimaru, he had indeed created a few novel B-rank ninjutsu. Plus, he was from a wealthy family, so he didn't need to worry about him at all.

Yekura carries the title of the only Scorch Release user in Sunagakure, representing the village's honor. Ebizo protects her like a treasure. In the original story, Yekura was betrayed by Rasa because Chiyo and Ebizo had retired and were no longer involved. Being from a small family with little protection, she was easily killed. Now, although Sasori has gone off to pursue art, his parents are still alive, and even with Ebizo's retirement, he still has Shinto's protection. Yekura is still his disciple, and Sunagakure isn't as weak as depicted in the original story. With him around, Kumogakure won't betray them. So, with her bearing his name and possessing Sunagakure's one and only Scorch Release user in decades, he doesn't need to worry about her. Conan's father, however, is different. He's just an ordinary citizen, although he became a... He's the son-in-law of a clan, but he's also a member of a generation struggling for his future. Although he carries the title of a true disciple, he's penniless, without a clan to protect him, and he doesn't possess any rare bloodline limits. He can only rely on himself. In the ninja world, if he doesn't have the skills to back him up, he won't gain any advantage and will only be killed by others. He wasn't even that worried about Maki, Mada's son, because Maki was someone who appeared at the beginning of the original story. Even if he had no connection to him, he wouldn't die on the battlefield. But "Conan's dad" is different. He doesn't even exist in the original story. It's unknown whether he died on the battlefield or was just a subordinate. Even if he didn't die on the battlefield, he was just a minor character. So it's not worth wasting time on him.

But now, because of this little butterfly, the young man's fate has been completely altered, and the level of danger has increased significantly. If this young man is really targeted and killed on the battlefield because of him, not only will he lose face, but where will he go to support his husband, father, son, and family? So ever since this young man came to the front lines, he has been giving him a warning from time to time, lest he die without even knowing how. Having learned the Eight Gates, even if he dies, he should at least make a splash in the ninja world like Green Skin Dai. If he is killed by some random nobody for no reason, that would be truly shameful.

"...Teacher, I've been working really hard lately, but opening seven courses isn't that easy. ╯□╰"

"Conan's dad" had a bewildered look on his face. He sweared to God that ever since his teacher disliked him for being weak and wouldn't let him come to the battlefield at the beginning, he had been training like crazy for the past six months. He hadn't even gone home, afraid that he would lose control if he saw his wife.

But opening the seventh gate is no easy feat. The physical strength required to open the seventh gate is more than ten times that of opening the sixth. Physical strength is something that is accumulated over time, not something that can be achieved overnight. Even with his top-tier physical talent and years of hard training, he still hasn't met the requirements to open the seventh gate. If he were to force it open, it wouldn't just be a matter of being crippled; he would have to say goodbye to the world like Might Guy.

706. Ebizo: I hope this kid doesn't get carried away.

"Lord Shindou, is the Eight Gates Formation really that powerful? What are the requirements for learning the Eight Gates Formation?"

After his initial shock, Rasa gave "Conan's dad" a deep look. The Eight Gates was a secret known only to a handful of people in the entire village. Judging from the clan leaders, they were clearly unaware of it. Before Rasa rose to power, although he was a disciple of his teacher, he wasn't considered a high-ranking member of the village, so he couldn't possibly know. Rasa had previously assumed that this disciple of Shinto-sama rose to power because of Shinto-sama's influence and because "Conan's dad" was a considerable genius and extremely hardworking—his training methods were so rigorous that even Rasa himself was afraid of them. Therefore, they promoted him to power.

I only found out now that this guy had learned such a powerful forbidden technique. No wonder the teacher and Lord Haizang were so stubborn about him.

He was genuinely shocked by the power of this forbidden technique. It was absolutely explosive! Those were the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who had caused Konoha so much trouble on the battlefield. Seven elite Jonin, each wielding a unique ninja sword, were all near-Kage level fighters. Combined, even Kage-level opponents wouldn't stand a chance against them. Yet, this incredibly powerful combination was instantly defeated by a Genin who hadn't even activated this forbidden technique, and not even at its strongest. It was truly explosive. Although the Genin died in the end, that's obvious. If that Genin hadn't died, it wouldn't be a forbidden technique; it would be a divine skill.

However, none of that mattered. What he wanted to know most now was whether the Eight Gates Formation was really that powerful and whether the learning conditions were demanding. If it was powerful and not demanding, then good heavens, if all his underlings went to learn it, wouldn't everyone in Sunagakure be like a dragon?

The unification of the ninja world could potentially be accomplished in his hands!

"...I know what you're thinking. When your teacher and Ebizo learned about the Eight Gates, this forbidden technique, they had the same thoughts you have now. However, this thought is unrealistic. It's true that the Eight Gates is very strong, especially the last eighth gate, which is the Gate of Death. Once opened, it instantly possesses power that surpasses a Kage level by tens or even hundreds of times. Killing a Kage level is no problem at all. You all saw this green-skinned Guy. He only opened seven gates, and the Seven Swords of Kirigakure were destroyed by him with one kick."

"Hiss! Only seven gates...!"

Hearing Masato say this, everyone around, even "Conan's dad," gasped in shock. They didn't know what it meant to instantly gain power dozens or even hundreds of times greater than a Kage level after opening the Gate of No Death. Anyway, they hadn't reached that level, so it was hard to make a comparison. But now that Konoha genin was so powerful, he had only opened the seventh gate. This was a super forbidden technique!

Thinking of this, even Conan's father-in-law, Chief Maochuan, felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at his son-in-law and recalled the scene of him forcing his daughter into marriage. He had just overheard his son-in-law's conversation with Masato, and it seemed that his son-in-law had already opened the sixth gate. If he had really pushed them too far back then, and this son-in-law had opened the sixth gate, they would have been crippled. Although this son-in-law hadn't opened the seventh gate yet, he wasn't as powerful as the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!

Looking back now, it was really lucky. Thank goodness that kid was trying to pull someone away instead of unleashing his ultimate ability...-_-||

"However, if you want to learn the Eight Gates, someone without talent might be able to open two or three gates, but the benefit to themselves isn't significant. Moreover, the body can't withstand the sudden burst of power. Opening the gates will cause great damage. To open the later gates, you need years of grueling training to improve your physical strength. If your physical strength isn't strong enough to open them, the consequences can be death or even crippling. Forget about fighting; you'd be lucky to survive. Kudo has trained in taijutsu for so many years, and he can probably only open six gates for ten minutes now. The aftereffects are being bedridden for months. This forbidden technique is impossible to learn without superhuman perseverance. The hardships he's endured over the past few years are a hundred times greater than those of ordinary people, and the amount of medicine he's used is countless. That's why your teacher and Ebizo both gave up back then."

Seeing how excited Rasa was, Masato knew exactly what he was thinking. This wasn't surprising; most people had the same idea, let alone Rasa, who had become the leader.

"Sigh...! Looks like I was overthinking it..."

Rasa understood after hearing Masato's explanation. If he could think of this, there was no reason why his teacher and Lord Kaizo wouldn't. Taijutsu training is inherently a tedious and arduous process. Generally, anyone with even a little ninjutsu talent wouldn't bother with that much time and effort. Compared to the monotonous taijutsu, ninjutsu is far more elaborate, not to mention the hundreds of times more arduous training required for taijutsu. Most people simply couldn't persevere. And even if someone could, without exceptional physical talent, Sunagakure couldn't afford to support them. This thing is a one-time use artifact; opening the seventh or eighth gate is incredibly powerful, but a few minutes later, they'd be dead. The village was lucky to even have one. And judging from Lord Masato's words, Kudo's physical talent was so great, yet he could only open the sixth gate so far. Rasa had witnessed Kudo's training before—that devilish training method would have ruined most people long ago...

Luo Sha glanced at Conan's father, who had a bewildered expression, and felt conflicted. This was supposed to be a one-time use artifact for the future; was it too reckless to send him to the battlefield now?

Actually, it wasn't just Rasa who was conflicted. Ebizo in the Kazekage Tower was also having a terrible toothache. Although he had seen the Eight Gates Formation and knew it was very powerful, he had never witnessed its full power and didn't have a deep understanding of just how strong it was. This time, the strongest genin in Konoha unleashed his power, and he immediately recognized it as the Eight Gates Formation. He finally had a direct understanding of how powerful the Eight Gates Formation was, but the more he understood, the more conflicted he became.

I never expected the Eight Gates to be so powerful. I don’t know how many gates were opened, but it’s definitely ferocious. Thinking of Kudo, who has already gone to the front line, Ebizo is filled with regret!

If this kid gets carried away on the battlefield and forces himself to use the Seven Gates, it would be fine if he went to fight White Fang one-on-one, but if he went to fight those ragtag Jonin from Konoha, or even the soon-to-retire clan leader of the Aburame clan, he felt it would be a huge loss...

So now all he can do is burn a few sticks of incense for his brother-in-law every day, praying that the kid won't lose his temper on the battlefield.

Shindou is currently juggling three people at once. He has to fight White Fang one-on-one, and also take care of Rasa, Maki, and himself. It's hard to say whether he can manage it all.

707. This time, the Sand Village was truly the most dedicated.

"Damn it, what is that bastard Onoki doing? Does it take this long to change a kidney?!"

Recently, the ninja world has been buzzing about that Konoha genin who kicked the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist out of bounds. The Third Raikage is furious, but not because of that Konoha genin. While that Konoha genin is indeed impressive, having kicked the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist out of bounds, it's not enough to infuriate him. Although he doesn't know what forbidden technique could turn a genin into a Saiyan, in his eyes, he's nothing special. After all, that genin died in the end. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are decent, but they're just sons to him. So, even though Konoha has produced a so-called strongest genin, he doesn't care. What he cares about most is that the Mist Village has been defeated by Konoha. He gave up going to the Land of Earth to fight in the wilderness and instead focused on defeating Orochimaru on the battlefield, delaying his advance until now, all to wait for Onoki to recover before launching a final assault. Life and death hang in the balance.

But damn it, he's been dragging this out for so long, and Kirigakure hasn't let him down. They've always been incredibly brave in their battles against Konoha. He thought everything was ready except for the final push, but Onoki, that final push, just hasn't shown up. He even started to wonder if Minato Namikaze, who's supposedly the son of Shiki, had really kicked Onoki out of his wits. It's been so long and he still hasn't played, which has led to Kirigakure being sent back to the west coast. Everything's back to square one, and the Third Raikage is furious.

"Perhaps... Onoki is really badly injured. He's not young anymore, and his recovery speed is slow..."

With one hand supporting his head and the other tapping his fingers on the table, the man with the large head in burlap sack said, "After Kirigakure was driven back to the west coast by Konoha, all their previous efforts were in vain. Kirigakure's advance to the border of the Land of Fire and their bloody battle with the Uchiha clan had given them hope of overthrowing tyranny. But now that Kirigakure has retreated to the west coast, it won't be easy to advance into the Land of Fire's border again. Their previous success was due to surprise attacks—a night raid—and the fact that Konoha reinforcements hadn't arrived yet. Now that Konoha reinforcements have arrived, and after these battles, Kirigakure has suffered heavy losses." The Land of Water has no reinforcements left. After all, the Mizukage couldn't possibly abandon his home and send all his forces to a distant battlefield. Even if the Mizukage dared to do so, the Hozuki and Minazuki clans wouldn't allow it. Now, the Kirigakure ninja on the west coast have already committed all their forces. Although Konoha is being tied down by these villages, their battle lines aren't far apart, and they have a large and powerful army. In his view, it's pointless for Kirigakure to continue fighting. At most, they'll just weaken Konoha's fighting force a bit more, which isn't very significant. Onoki's absence caused them to miss a great opportunity.

"Damn it, whatever, I'll arrange for myself to lead a raid on the Land of Earth in two weeks. Whether that bastard Onoki is really seriously injured or not, we can't waste any more time. (▼ヘ▼#)"

The Third Raikage's temper really flared up. They had almost devised a perfect jungle plan, which was a painful decision to abandon and trust that bastard with the red nose. But that bastard was fighting so fiercely between Kirigakure and Konoha, yet he didn't even step up. He really didn't believe that a simple kick could make a Kage-level powerhouse fight for half a year.

The Hidden Cloud Village has suffered heavy losses in the past six months. Although he can crush Orochimaru, his subordinates don't have his strength. Konoha's resilience is too strong. He can't kill Orochimaru, the commander. Even if his subordinates are influenced by him and become like Rodman, they still can't break through Konoha's defenses. Konoha's subordinates are also formidable fighters. In large-scale battles, it's the core fighters who are relied upon. In this aspect, Konoha is stronger than the Hidden Cloud Village.

So since it seems hopeless to overthrow the tyranny, it's better to find a way to make up for the losses of the past six months, and the Land of Earth is an ideal target.

“…”

Mabu, with his big head, looked at his furious boss, nodded without saying a word, and turned to leave to make arrangements. Although he felt that choosing to go to the Land of Earth to hunt was not very safe now, and they had already missed the best opportunity, they had suffered heavy losses in the past six months. If they didn't take a gamble to fill this gap, they would really get nothing if even one of the other villages withdrew from the game.

......

The Third Raikage is making quick money again. In the Iwagakure battlefield, since Onoki is absent, Onoki's cunning son and the Four-Tails Jinchuriki are holding the line. Although the atmosphere isn't very harmonious, they've fought back and forth four or five times in half a year, but none of them have been large-scale battles. Onoki's cunning son seems to be just waiting for him to return with his kidneys replaced. He's holding the line without seeking merit but only avoiding mistakes. So even though he knows that the enemy commander is Minato Namikaze, who kicked his kidneys, he can still hold back. Each time it's just a small skirmish. Sometimes, even Onoki and the Four-Tails Jinchuriki take turns resting, letting Onoki's captain of the guards lead a group of substitutes to fight casually. When it's about time, they retreat. It really makes people think that this cunning son is just waiting for his triumphant return.

As for the perfect grand-disciple Minato Namikaze, he earnestly implemented Konoha's peace-loving ideology and never took the initiative to attack. In addition, he had already received Hiruzen Sarutobi's order to wait for Danzo's arrival and then go to Sunagakure to provide support. Therefore, Minato did not take the initiative to attack while Onoki was away. After all, the enemy's Four-Tails Jinchuriki was also a powerful warrior who was good at protracted battles. For him, who had full agility and low mana, it was too much of a disadvantage. Therefore, maintaining this situation and leaving it to Danzo was the best choice. What Konoha was least afraid of was dragging things out. The longer it dragged on, the more beneficial it would be for the large and powerful Konoha.

On the other hand, Sunagakure, which had been somewhat relegated to a minor role in both World War I and World War II, was the most dedicated this time. Although the scale of their battles couldn't compare to the spectacular scenes of Kirigakure, under the leadership of the new Kazekage, they had put on a respectable show against Konoha for the past six months. They fought diligently in every battle, never cutting corners, and their main forces never missed a single tactical rest. In the past six months, Shinto and Sakumo Hatake had almost matched the total number of one-on-one duels they had engaged in over the past twenty years. The newly appointed Rasa was desperately trying to boost his stats, and Sasori's father had successfully made a major comeback from the Land of Water. Sunagakure didn't need to worry about resource losses; their only concern was troop strength. After implementing their elite troop policy, Sunagakure's military strength was indeed far less than that of other villages. Although their combat power had increased somewhat, in large-scale battles, unless they were powerful enough to ignore numbers, individual bravery was difficult to demonstrate, and sometimes, they still had to die.

708. It wasn't easy! Luo Sha finally got MVP!

"Shhhhhh!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Wow...! Sugoiichi! No matter how many times I've seen it, it still seems exaggerated... This sword aura is already comparable to an S-rank ninjutsu, right?"

On the Sand Village battlefield, some low-level Konoha ninja who hadn't gone to support the Mist Village battlefield stayed away from the center of the battle, running to the edge of the battlefield where Shiki and Sakumo were dueling and using the Telescope Technique to watch from afar. This was the most dangerous but also the safest place. They might get hit by sword energy coming back from here, but no Sand ninja would come here to mess with them. If there were too many of them, they wouldn't be able to get through, and if there were too few, they might get killed by these low-level ninja.

Watching the two powerhouses battle in the distance, the Konoha alts exclaimed that they were inhuman. Each of Shiki's incredibly powerful sword auras was comparable to an S-rank ninjutsu, tearing space apart. The key was the sheer number of them; the dense sword auras formed a veritable sword aura domain, making even the slightest approach dangerous. And yet, within this domain, their White Fang was actually able to exchange blows with Shiki. Especially impressive was White Fang's incredibly stylish movement, which made some girls Kakashi's age swoon, dreaming of becoming Kakashi's stepmother...

This battle scene refreshed their understanding of powerful individuals. Even Asuma, a second-generation fire elementalist, was dumbfounded. As a second-generation fire elementalist, his understanding of powerful individuals was deeper than others, after all, his father was a powerful individual, and his father's three disciples were also powerful individuals. However, looking at the domain formed by sword energy, and then at Kakashi's father's stylish movements, he bet his father could never reach this level. If his father rushed in, he would definitely be chopped into a human stump.

They had witnessed such scenes several times in the past six months, but each time they were shocked. Whether it was the Golden Lion's sword aura or Lord White Fang's divine movement, they all exceeded their understanding of ninjas.

"If only I could move like Lord White Fang..."

"Uh-huh...!"

"A Konoha alt account said enviously."

The friends around him nodded enviously as they watched the girls around them with their eyes turning into hearts. They didn't see White Fang as a love rival like Kakashi did. Firstly, they were too far apart in age and there was a generation gap. Secondly, White Fang was too powerful; they couldn't beat him even if they ganged up on him.

The Golden Lion's sword aura was explained to them by Lord White Fang that it was his personal sword aura that others could not learn. However, Lord White Fang's movement made them eager to try it out. As for movement, anyone with two feet can show off, so they thought they should practice their basic movement skills diligently in the future!

They could almost see themselves dodging and weaving through endless sword energy in the future...

"Stop dreaming. My dad said that White Fang's movement style combines the Hatake clan's swordsmanship and requires extremely high talent. Even Kakashi couldn't learn that kind of movement..."

Looking at his dreamy friends, Asuma looked up at the sky. If this kind of movement was so easy to learn, Konoha would have already unified the ninja world and conquered the moon, right? Kakashi practiced the Hatake sword technique for so many years, and he still ended up with a mess...

...

"Magnetic Release: The Great Burial of Golden Sands!"

"Oh no! Retreat!!"

"Boom boom boom...!"

Big wave Q, blow wave Q, dig and catch Q....

The two sides' core players were engaged in a one-on-one duel on one side, while in the center of the team battle on the other side, Luo Sha cried after being hit by a set of gold sand combos!

A whole year, a whole year. God knows what he went through that year.

at last!

Finally, the data has been generated!

After a year of continuous confrontation with the Aburame clan's leader, who was preparing to retire, Rasa finally broke free of his shackles and successfully rose to the rank of Double Flower Red Staff. This time, even the Aburame clan leader, who had once fought the Third Raikage at his peak but was now past his prime, could not defend against Rasa's Golden Sand Set. After being severely injured by Rasa, he could only watch helplessly as Rasa unleashed his fury.

How powerful is the Archmage when he starts farming?

As long as his chakra reserves are sufficient, he's even more formidable than the puppeteers of the Ten Puppet Masters of Kachikamatsu. While Rasa isn't known for his chakra reserves, his Magnet Release is a bloodline limit. His chakra reserves might not be as high as those of Uzumaki or Senju, but they're still several times greater than the average person. An unstoppable, persistent mage who relentlessly farms up stats—his chakra output is utterly devastating. Although Konoha now has an antidote developed by Tsunade, and they shouldn't fear the puppets' poison, the losses from the two battles fought in the last two months were far less than expected. However, this time they've encountered a newly risen Rasa, whom no one can defend against. Once the crowd was hit with a set of Golden Sand, several players instantly became godlike, unstoppable. Moreover, Rasa had been holding back for a year, harboring deep resentment. While it was difficult to defeat Jonin and Elite Jonin, it was easy to defeat Chunin and Genin in large numbers. Determined to rack up several MVPs, Rasa transformed into a giant sandbag after breaking through the defense of the Aburame leader, relentlessly attacking the group of Chunin and Genin from Konoha. It was unstoppable; the area covered by the Golden Sand was simply too large. The speed of Chunin and Genin was much slower than that of Jonin. Even though they knew that Rasa's Golden Sand was coming at them, they simply couldn't dodge it and could only close their eyes and wait to die.

"Pfft!"

"Twenty-three... Holy crap! The Kazekage's persistence is just too much! Magnet Release is so damn cheating! ⊙０⊙"
