"Leave him to me!"
Rasa said this partly because he was genuinely worried that Konoha's army would take this opportunity to attack.
He firmly believed that if what Uchiha Ryosuke said about the Land of Water submitting to their Land of Fire was true, then it must be because Uchiha Ryosuke personally led a team to invade Kirigakure.
He couldn't imagine any other possibility that would lead the Land of Water to do that.
If that's the case, then they will definitely adopt the same aggressive attack strategy when they arrive at Sunagakure.
As for the second reason, it was because Luo Sha knew that his subordinates were absolutely no match for the man in front of him.
Asking them to come up and help would not only interfere with my actions, but would also only increase casualties.
The best choice is for me to personally take charge and restrain this man.
Upon receiving Rasa's order, the elite Sand Village soldiers scattered around.
At this moment, Uchiha Ryosuke also spoke up.
"Let's make a bet. You and I will have a fair duel, right in front of all the people of Sunagakure."
“They are all witnesses. If you lose to me, then your Sunagakure and the Land of Wind must accept the conditions I just proposed.”
"Would you like to make a bet, Fourth Kazekage?"
After Uchiha Ryosuke finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Rasa with a half-smile.
This involves roasting cassia seeds directly over a fire.
If he doesn't agree to his conditions, then he's being irresponsible and inactive.
How can someone like that shoulder such a great responsibility and continue to serve as the Wind Shadow?
If he agrees, then everyone in the entire Sand Village will witness firsthand how their village's strongest ninja is instantly killed by him in one move.
Luo Sha hesitated as expected.
Meanwhile, the residents of Sunagakure were also awakened by Uchiha Ryosuke's arrogant words.
Realizing that he had come to cause trouble and that he intended to conquer Sunagakure, everyone began to discuss the matter.
"Who is this guy? How dare he challenge Lord Kazekage!"
"They look like Konoha ninjas, but I don't recognize them..."
"You ignorant fool!"
"The war is already over, why is Konoha still causing trouble?"
"Fourth Hokage, accept his challenge and defeat him!"
"..."
Almost everyone in Sunagakure came out to see what was going on.
Upon seeing that it was only Uchiha Ryosuke alone, they all started shouting.
Faced with Uchiha Ryosuke, who had single-handedly stormed into the entire Sunagakure village and dared to challenge the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, almost all the villagers in Sunagakure supported Rasa's decision to go to war.
That's the benefit of ignorance.
They had no idea what kind of being they were about to face.
Luo Sha knew perfectly well what was going on.
Although he never faced Uchiha Ryosuke head-on on the battlefield.
But legends about this man have long been circulating.
The Hidden Mist Village, Hidden Cloud Village, and Hidden Stone Village all suffered heavy losses at the hands of that man, ultimately having no choice but to retreat and accept the peace terms proposed by the Land of Fire.
All of this is not fake.
And it happened not long ago.
Now that Uchiha Ryosuke dares to come here alone and challenge me in front of so many people, wanting to make a bet with me.
He couldn't have done it if he wasn't absolutely confident.
So what to do now?
Luo Sha was in a dilemma.
If he does not accept the challenge from his opponent, he, as the Fourth Kazekage, will lose all face and may even be forced to step down, leading to an even greater crisis for Sunagakure.
But what if he accepts Uchiha Ryosuke's challenge and then loses to him?
That means they need to unconditionally accept the demands made by Konoha.
In other words, as Uchiha Ryosuke just said, Sunagakure must hand over the tailed beasts it possesses, and Sunagakure and the Land of Wind must completely submit to it.
Is such a thing possible? Obviously not.
Luo Sha considered many things, but he never thought about what if he actually won?
Because deep down, he already had the answer.
He knew he was unlikely to defeat the man in front of him.
A powerful member of the Uchiha clan.
"Lord Rasa! What's wrong?"
"It seems that Lord Rasa doesn't really want to accept the challenge. What's going on?"
"Who exactly is that man? How dare he barge in here all by himself!"
"Hey, doesn't he look like Uchiha Ryosuke..."
"..."
The Sand Village ninjas around him gradually recognized Uchiha Ryosuke.
The legend of that man had already begun to emerge before the Third Shinobi World War had even ended.
The ANBU of various ninja villages began gathering information about him from that time onward.
Therefore, these Sunagakure ANBU members were naturally well aware of this as well.
Upon recognizing Uchiha Ryosuke, they immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Uchiha Ryosuke? That's the legend from the battlefield?"
"Yes, a man who surpasses Uchiha Shisui, but in fact, according to the Anbu's investigation, he is even more powerful than 'Yellow Flash' Minato Namikaze!"
"What's this guy doing in our Sunagakure? Wasn't the war over? The Daimyo of the Land of Wind has already signed a peace agreement..."
"It doesn't seem like a good thing at all."
"..."
Once someone recognized Uchiha Ryosuke's identity, panic began to spread among the crowd.
As the saying goes, even if you've never eaten pork, you've at least seen a pig walk.
The people of Sunagakure had never seen Uchiha Ryosuke's true appearance or strength, but they had heard far too many legends about him.
Everyone instantly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Haven't you made up your mind yet?
Uchiha Ryosuke looked at Rasa with a bit of boredom.
I issued the challenge, and after waiting for ages, the other party hasn't uttered a single word.
It makes me very impatient.
At this moment, Rasa's wife, Karura, came over and whispered to Rasa, "Whatever decision you make, I will stand by you."
Luo Sha is indeed under immense pressure right now.
Because his decision now will affect the fate of the entire Sunagakure village and even the entire Land of Wind.
He was very pleased to have his wife's support.
But this is far from enough.
Rasa looked up at Uchiha Ryosuke, who was so calm, composed, and unhurried.
They seem completely unconcerned about the battle here.
The more calm and composed the other party was, the greater the psychological burden on Luo Sha.
After taking a deep breath, Luo Sha finally made up his mind.
He turned to face his people and said in a deep voice, “Everyone, although I am the shadow of the village and bear the responsibility of protecting you, this village, and even this country, I do not have the authority to make decisions on your behalf.”
“Uchiha Ryosuke is the Fourth Hokage and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire. His purpose in coming here is to conquer the entire Land of Wind.”
“If I accept his challenge and lose the fight, it means we will have to accept their demands unconditionally.”
Rasa's words instantly caused a sensation throughout the entire Sunagakure village.
All the ninjas were completely dumbfounded.
My head was buzzing.
But soon a stubborn and skilled ninja realized what was happening and flew into a rage.
"Damn it! This guy is completely disrespectful! He's gone too far!"
"Yes, how dare they come to our Sunagakure village to cause trouble and utter such disrespectful words!"
"Make Sunagakure and the Land of Wind submit? Impossible! Don't even think about it!"
"Hey, didn't the Fourth Hokage just say that guy was the Hokage of Konoha? Isn't the Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi? And what's with the Daimyo?"
"Things seem to have gotten much more complicated than we thought..."
"..."
Some people were burning with rage, their blood boiling and rushing to the top of their heads.
Some people noticed even more details at this moment.
Rasa said that Uchiha Ryosuke was the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, which is relatively easy for people to understand.
The Third Shinobi World War has ended.
Those who have made contributions should naturally be rewarded according to their merits.
Moreover, considering his age, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was indeed at the point where he should step down and hand over the reins to a more capable successor.
Therefore, while it may still be surprising that Uchiha Ryosuke became the Fourth Hokage, it is also quite reasonable.
But what about the name?
"How can the Daimyo of the Land of Fire be the Hokage? Could it be... that he usurped the throne?"
"That's called seizing power. Every ninja village is a subordinate military organization to the country. There has never been a ninja village overstepping its authority and usurping power!"
"Damn it, it seems that Uchiha Ryosuke must have done this, otherwise he would have had no chance of becoming a daimyo even if he had to wait in line for a hundred years!"
"So, is war about to break out again?"
"..."
After hearing Rasa's explanation, the many elites of Sunagakure not only understood Uchiha Ryosuke's purpose, but were also deeply shocked.
At this moment, everyone was whispering in surprise and uncertainty.
Some people glared angrily at Uchiha Ryosuke.
There were insults and shouts.
But no one dared to stand up against Uchiha Ryosuke.
Oh wait, there is one.
That guy is a Jonin from Sunagakure, but I don't know his name.
In a fit of rage, he leaped into the air and jumped towards Uchiha Ryosuke...
Chapter 82 Granny Chiyo! Compromise! Ryosuke's domineering nature!
Sunagakure is not short of stubborn people.
