After taking over the snake uncle's foundation, Sasuke came to surrender on his own initiative.

"The once prosperous Taki Ninja is about to withdraw from the stage of the ninja world. Although there are still hundreds of people who surrendered, thus avoiding this disaster, they chose to wear new forehead protectors. The century-old heritage of Taki Ninja has also fallen apart because of this."

In a dense forest not far from the giant waterfall.

There were two tall figures, looking from afar at the new faces of Sound Ninja who were "drilling" out of the waterfall in an orderly manner in front of them.

The one who spoke still had some yellow sand on his body. He had a high nose bridge, sunken cheeks, and a self-centered aura between his brows.

It was the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.

I just don't know why he appears here?

"What a pity... I spent a lot of money to buy Nanabi and developed the village to this scale. It is indeed rare. But it is a pity that I met such an ambitious... genius ninja."

The man in yellow with high cheekbones and a white cloth wrapped around his head sighed and asked cautiously:

"My Lord, in my opinion, this leader of the Sound Village is extremely weird. He is stirring up trouble everywhere. I have reason to suspect that the recent incident of the snow demon destroying the village that has been widely circulated in the northern ninja world is also the work of this guy, judging from his bloody and cruel style of behavior! No wonder everyone has been talking about him recently.

Is this person too reckless? He used Gaara before. If you hadn't anticipated this, Gaara would have been finished! If he was allowed to continue to grow and become stronger..."

"He didn't stand a chance."

Luo Sha responded coldly, "Maki, you can see that the forces he offended can understand even better.

Have you forgotten the Third Hokage who was killed without mercy, as well as the Hidden Cloud Village's Lava Release Ninja and eight elite Jonin who were killed?

Humph... Do you think Konoha and Kumogakure can forgive him?

As for offending my Sand Village, it's just a small matter, not that important. Even if Gaara dies, I just lost a good container for Shukaku!"

"Container?" Maki looked at Luo Sha with a cold expression and opened his mouth in disbelief. "That's your son!"

Before he finished speaking, Luo Sha interrupted him immediately: "Maki... I understand that you have a good relationship with my rebellious son, but you must know that in my heart, he is just an unqualified Jinchūriki!"

"Fourth-generation master, I...I understand." Maki replied with an awkward smile.

"Hmm..." Luo Sha nodded slightly, and looked at the waterfall in the distance again, his eyes flickering, and he rubbed his hands behind his back, and grains of golden sand fell between his fingers. "Since the Konoha incident, I have been paying attention to the movements of the Sound Village. When Dodai fought that man, I used the Eye of Sand to watch the battle from dozens of miles away."

"Dodai's unique Lava Release Kekkei created rubber that, in a way, has enough defensive power to rival my Sand Defense! But my Sand Gold is a solid shield, while his rubber has taken its flexibility to the extreme, achieving absolute defense with a change of direction! If his Lava Release Ninjutsu could be more efficient in converting chakra, the Lightning Release Ninjutsu that Ototake used at that time might not have been able to penetrate his thickened rubber defense."

then.

Luo Sha shook his head slightly, a trace of pity flashed across his face. "Perhaps this is because although his earth platform is strong, he is limited by his own talent, and his strength can never reach the level of a shadow."

Hearing this, Maki nodded in agreement. "Although it sounds cruel, it is the truth. Everyone's control over chakra has its limits, no matter how hard they practice."

If a ninja could mobilize all the chakra in his body at once to perform a ninjutsu, then even a Genin would be able to burst out with considerable combat power.

But this conjecture itself is not valid.

And the prerequisite is that the ninja's body can withstand such an explosion.

The efficient use of chakra is not only a ninja's lifelong practice, but also one of the ninja's own talents.

If Yin Zhu were here and heard the conversation between the two, he would immediately point out that Sasuke and Naruto are a good comparison.

If we exclude the influence of the Nine-Tails on Naruto's control over chakra, the degree of chakra control of these two brothers Naruto and Sasuke is simply heaven and earth apart.

"The leader of the Sound Village is indeed very powerful. Even if I take action, with the advantages of my magnetic ninjutsu and flying ninjutsu, my chances of winning are probably only about 40%. This person is definitely not an ordinary genius.

He has amazing strength at such a young age, perhaps it has something to do with the fact that he is Orochimaru's disciple."

As he spoke, Luo Sha suddenly smiled sinisterly.

"Doesn't his Otogakure accept any trash? Later, we might as well send some Genin to the Otogakure to act as spies and see if we can find some clues."

Maki's eyes lit up immediately and he nodded repeatedly. "What a good idea, Fourth Master!"

......

The capital of Takikuni, Daimyofu.

Phew——

Under heavy guard, a carrier pigeon came and quickly disappeared deep into Daming Prefecture.

A man in an official hat reached out to take it, and quickly took it apart to read it.

"…Our leader is not someone who doesn't know the rules. The war with Takigakure is just a personal feud between ninjas. It will never rise to the level of a country, nor will it threaten the nobles' rule over the ninja world.

The leader ordered to send an envoy to contact the daimyo, hoping to merge the Sound Village with the Takigakure. From then on, the Sound Village would be a ninja organization belonging to the daimyo alone and he would be at his disposal.

If the daimyo is willing to support Otonin, we will also make Taki no Kuni the sixth great power in the ninja world! If you still can't resolve your anger, I can only say sorry, after all, the ending cannot be changed.

We can only feel deep regret for this...

——Momochi Zabuza."

"Try to communicate politely first, and if that doesn't work, then take tough measures..."

After listening to the information on the note.

The eyes of the Daimyo of Taki no Kuni flickered slightly, and his face looked slightly grim. "Zabuza Momochi... is he the Kirigakure who killed all the students who graduated at the same time? Now he is serving under the leader of the Sound Village..."

He had expected the Sound Ninja Association to communicate with him since the destruction of the Taki Ninja yesterday.

However, the daimyo did not expect that in such an important matter as obtaining the official authorization from Takikuni, the leader of the Sound Village would not show up, but let his subordinates act instead.

Such behavior is undoubtedly a disrespect to the Daimyo of Takikuni.

But now re-examining...

As for the ninja guards that the daimyo privately raised, they are probably no match for the Sound Village. Even if he wants to do something to the Sound Village, he can only ask for support from the neighboring Konoha or Iwagakure.

For the daimyo, the best option for the current situation is probably to choose a less frustrating way of dealing with the situation and make friends with the Sound Ninja.

If the two sides fail to reach an agreement on key issues and become enemies, they might as well try the use of force.

This is most in line with the nobles' nature of seeking profit and avoiding harm.

"I didn't expect that the leader of an ordinary little ninja village would be so... extraordinary. Even Konoha suffered a great loss under his hands. With his ambition, the ninja world will surely be in chaos in the future!

It seems that the location of Takigakure has a unique geographical advantage. Coupled with its powerful military strength, our Taki Country may not be able to take this opportunity to become the sixth largest country and share a piece of the big cake of the ninja world!

only......

I still cannot announce to other countries that I officially recognize the legal status of Otogakure in Taki Country. At most, I can only recognize it privately... Otherwise, once the plan fails, those people will come to trouble me..."

The daimyo put his hands behind his back and looked far into the sky. "This can be considered a compromise, but even nobles like us must be cautious of some special beings in this world."

After staring at the sky for a long time, Daimyo let out a long sigh.

"Damn it...

Ninja World...

Why do ninjas and chakra exist?"

Immediately, the daimyo straightened his expression and waved gently to the official who was standing behind him with a bow.

"Go, bring the messenger from the Sound Village here."

"Yes!"

The official hurried to the outer reception room of Daming Mansion.

Two minutes later, the sound of chaotic footsteps began to come from the depths of the corridor, getting closer and closer.

The daimyo put his hands behind his back and turned his head majestically, and saw an elegant young man wearing black-framed glasses striding towards him. He had a harmless and kind smile on his face, which made the daimyo feel favorable.

"The deputy leader of Otonin Village, Kabuto Yakushi, greets the Daimyo!"
