#141 - Chapter 141 Trouble is Coming
Listening to Omita's words, Rasa did not rush to answer.
Although the content of the letter seemed to have no problems, and it was a common practice in the ninja world, the moment Rasa saw the contents of the letter, he felt a sense of conspiracy.
Subconsciously, Rasa thought of Onoki's calculating appearance.
I'm afraid that the idea of this alliance did not come from the daimyo of the two great powers, but from the Raikage and Tsuchikage behind them.
But he did not refuse.
Firstly, his identity as Kazekage made it difficult for him not to give face to the daimyo, and secondly, he also wanted to see what the Tsuchikage and Raikage were planning.
"Since it is the idea of the daimyo, our Sunagakure naturally has no problem.
Please reply to the daimyo and welcome the ninjas from Kumogakure and Iwagakure to our Sunagakure.
Of course, whether or not an alliance can be formed will depend on the outcome of the negotiations..."
Omita respectfully lowered his head.
"I understand this as well, then, Kazekage-sama, I will take my leave and reply to the daimyo!"
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Shingu, see him off!"
Watching Omita respectfully take his leave, after the other party left, Maki, who was beside him, said vigilantly.
"Kazekage-sama, the daimyo's order seems a bit strange?"
Compared to others, Maki, who is in charge of the Anbu, really doesn't have that much time to cultivate.
If Shingu is now Rasa's assistant, responsible for many of the village's overt affairs, then matters involving the village's safety, ninjas, and some covert missions are all the responsibility of the Anbu.
This is also what Maki is good at!
"Oh, why?"
Maki replied decisively.
"It's too sudden.
Kumogakure and Iwagakure did not form an alliance when they attacked Konoha, but now they suddenly come to find our Sunagakure, it's too strange, and this time..."
Rasa nodded in appreciation.
"It is a bit strange, but no matter what the other party's purpose is, we must meet them.
By the way, has the Anbu sent any news from the daimyo's side?"
Maki, of course, understood Rasa's meaning and immediately said nervously.
"Reporting to Kazekage-sama, because of the orders of the Third Kazekage-sama, in order to avoid unnecessary influences, the Anbu has not arranged any manpower on the daimyo's side."
"Is that so?"
Rasa also expressed his understanding.
Unlike Konoha, which is not so dependent on the Fire Country daimyo because of its wealth, Sunagakure, which was once poor, had a much stronger concept of the superior and inferior to the Wind Country daimyo, which made the Anbu dare not arrange spies around the daimyo.
However, this cannot be the case in the future.
Now the daimyo's sudden appearance has also made Rasa begin to pay attention to this not-small force.
"The safety of the daimyo-sama cannot be ignored!"
"Heh!"
As the head of the Anbu, how could Maki not understand this hint?
"Alright, go down and make arrangements!"
Maki respectfully nodded and then took his leave.
The entire Kazekage's office was left with only Rasa.
He leaned back in his chair, looking at the letter sent by the daimyo in his hand, slowly pondering, and then frowned slightly, because he found that the information represented by the arrival of this letter at this time was not just that the Tsuchikage and Raikage were plotting something, it was that simple.
It also meant that, perhaps in the eyes of Kumogakure and Iwagakure, the rise of Sunagakure had posed a threat to them that was close to that of Konohagakure.
This was not good news.
Before this, the reason why Sunagakure was able to handle this war with ease was because Sunagakure was definitely at the bottom of the five great ninja villages.
The plan to raid the Fire Country and the cooperation with Kumogakure and Iwagakure were all based on the three great ninja villages' contempt for Sunagakure.
But now, Konoha cannot underestimate Sunagakure after the disastrous defeat in the Land of Rivers, and Iwagakure and Raikage are now paying attention to it, which means that Sunagakure's strategy of wandering among the five great ninja villages will have to change in the future.
However, no matter what the future holds, one's own strength is the most important thing.
Now, judging from the overall combat power of the village, Sunagakure is still relatively lacking.
First of all, the number of ninjas at the lowest level, mainly Genin and Chunin, is still too small compared to the other five great ninja villages.
Judging from this ninja world war up to now, the number of ninjas in Konoha, Kumogakure, and Iwagakure is at least seven or eight thousand, while Sunagakure, even with the development of the past six months, only has more than three thousand ninjas, which is far less than other ninja villages, and what's even more troublesome is that this cannot be increased in a short period of time, even if you fish by the lake and send those children to the battlefield, you can't do it.
As for mid-level ninjas, that is, the number of Jonin, the gap between Sunagakure and other ninja villages is not that big.
After all, at the Jonin level, unlike those cannon fodder Genin and Chunin, they don't die on the battlefield so easily.
However, there is definitely still a gap!
Fortunately, it's not that there's no way.
If we can quickly get the space passage from Sunagakure to the Island of Summoning, so that the Jonin of Sunagakure can control those huge summoned beasts on the island, then this gap can definitely be made up, and it's not impossible to even gain an advantage.
Then, there are the upper-level ninjas, that is, the number of ninjas at the Kage level. Sunagakure is not at such a disadvantage.
Chiyo, Ebizo, Yekura, and Mikawa, although they do not have the name of Kage, there is no problem in calling them Kage in terms of strength. Even, if necessary, letting Bunpuku play can make up for the gap in the aspect of Jinchuriki.
Finally, there are the real powerhouses at the Kage level.
This is what Rasa is most confident about!
Rasa felt that with his current strength, apart from Minato and Jiraiya of Konoha and Onoki of Iwagakure, there was really nothing to be afraid of.
Onoki was still afraid of his Dust Release.
Looking at it this way, if it's just 1V1 in the future, then Sunagakure doesn't have to be afraid of any ninja village, but if it's not, then it will be troublesome, and judging from the fact that Kumogakure and Iwagakure are now proposing to form an alliance with Sunagakure, Rasa inexplicably had a bad feeling.
Thinking of this, Rasa, who originally wanted to rest a little because Karura was pregnant, was once again filled with a sense of urgency.
"It really can't be stopped!"
However, apart from the Island of Summoning, how can we quickly increase the strength of Sunagakure in order to face the possible crises in the future?
Rasa thought about it, it seems that he can only rely on Sage Art energy now.
If Yekura and Mikawa can master Sage Art energy faster, then their strength will be greatly improved, becoming ninjas who can fight against ten thousand enemies like Minato and Jiraiya.
At that time, the pressure on Rasa's shoulders will be much less.
But how to do it?
Rasa thought about it, perhaps the White Snake Sage of Ryuchi Cave might have a way.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and directly used the Summoning Technique to summon: Tagitsuhime...
