Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

After Chiyo left with Honoka and the bouquet, only Rasa and the Akatsuki trio remained.

“Come take a walk with me!”

“Okay!”

By this time, Yahiko's transplant experiment had succeeded, and the three knew that Rasa was about to get to the main topic.

Under Rasa's lead, the group returned to the village.

Back in the Kazekage's office, Rasa spoke directly.

“You should have seen it when you came over, right?”

Yahiko nodded excitedly.

The huge changes that had taken place in Sunagakure in just over half a month once again shocked the three present.

The vast, shimmering lake, with various ships sailing on it, gave the three a huge shock.

Especially the bustling scene of people moving goods at the various docks by the lake, made them feel the vigorous vitality within the current Sunagakure.

This was a lively scene that the three from the Land of Rain had never seen before.

They had reason to believe that such a prosperous place could probably not be found in the entire ninja world.

Rasa nodded and once again said something that shocked the three.

“Now our Sunagakure's Lake Retto and Ryusa River have been put into use. Although it is still in the trial voyage stage, do you know how much money the maritime affairs department's tax revenue alone is every day in these three days?”

The three shook their heads, and then they heard an incredibly shocking number.

“Four hundred million ryo on the first day, two hundred million ryo on the second day, and today's has not yet been reported, but according to speculation, it should not be less than three hundred million ryo. Do you know what this means?”

In incredible shock, Yahiko, as the leader, immediately thought of what Rasa had said to them when they first met, about the ninja village's dependence on the daimyo.

“It means that Sunagakure will no longer need to rely on the Land of Wind daimyo's military spending from now on.”

Rasa nodded in satisfaction.

“That's right. In addition, so many goods flowing into Sunagakure will bring prosperity to Sunagakure's trade. By then, everyone will be able to make money, and everyone's life will be happy.”

At this moment, Yahiko seemed to finally understand what the peace he had once pursued was all about.

It was not to humbly beg the five great powers to stop the war, but to make the people of his own country rich.

And then, Rasa said his real purpose.

“Now that Lake Retto has been put into use, and the first phase of the Ryusa River project has also ended, the second phase will connect Sunagakure and the capital of the Land of Demons. Because the environment of the Land of Demons is more complicated, unlike the Land of Wind, where construction will not encounter obstacles, this process will be a bit slower, but in my estimation, five months will be the limit. And next, is the third phase of the Ryusa River project that I have planned: connecting Sunagakure and Amegakure!”

At this moment, the eyes of the three people present lit up, and at the same time, they felt a sense of urgency in their hearts.

“Yes, I think you have also understood that next, you only have five months to solve Hanzo and obtain the rule of Amegakure, otherwise, I will move the third phase of the Ryusa River project to another country.”

Konan was a little nervous, after all, that was the demigod who had once deterred the entire ninja world.

However, Yahiko and Nagato looked at each other at this moment, both with firm eyes, and without the hesitation they once had.

“Kazekage-sama, please rest assured, I will not let Hanzo live until that time.”

“Okay!”

Rasa nodded in satisfaction, and at the same time comforted them.

“I believe in you. With the power you two now possess, one mastering the Sharingan and Wood Release, and the other possessing the Rinnegan and the Uzumaki clan's physique, solving Hanzo is not a difficult task. The troublesome thing is what comes after. You don't have the experience of ruling a country or a ninja village, so I plan to arrange some things for you next to let you learn!”

The three did not refuse.

“Please give your orders, Kazekage-sama!”

“Okay! Come in, you guys!”

As soon as Rasa's voice fell, twelve masked ninjas walked in from outside the house.

Rasa introduced them.

“They were established by me, drawn from the Anbu, a team specializing in carrying out special missions. I call it the Covert Ops Squad. There are a total of twelve people in front of you, but I have other arrangements for them in the future, so new candidates must be found for all members of the Covert Ops Squad!”

Rasa gave Yahiko so many benefits, certainly not out of pure kindness.

His purpose was very simple. He wanted to expand the Covert Ops Squad and make it an organization like the Anbu.

Because the Anbu's several mistakes made him too dissatisfied.

Although, to some extent, it can't be blamed on Maki and the Anbu, after all, their enemy is Uchiha Madara, but Rasa can't sit idly by and watch such a big loophole in the village for this reason.

Therefore, he needs a subordinate with strong power to take on this responsibility.

The current Yahiko is a very good candidate.

Trustworthy in character, ability, and power, and without any power struggles in the village, he can completely obey his orders.

“Next, you will follow these twelve people and study hard. I will have them hand over to you some things about the Covert Ops Squad and the Anbu. When the time comes, Yahiko, I will hand over the Covert Ops Squad to you. Nagato and Konan, you can use this experience to go back and manage Amegakure.”

The three of Yahiko nodded. This was indeed a good choice for them.

Because the three of them understood that from the moment they were rescued by Rasa, the three of them were completely tied to Sunagakure. It would only be beneficial and not harmful to the future Amegakure if Yahiko could become Rasa's confidant.

As for the arrangement for these twelve people.

Rasa certainly wouldn't treat them badly. They were all sent out to guard one side.

Among them, Daikoku, Sekiyu, and Arekishi were sent out to guard the Land of Demons, becoming the Jonin leaders responsible for protecting the Land of Demons.

Reiha and Fuujin, Sazori and Saeagles were sent to the Island of Summoning, becoming the Jonin leaders guarding the Island of Summoning.

Umineko and Mamushi have become the Jonin leaders responsible for protecting the first section of the Ryusa River, which has now been successfully built.

Nezumi, Kuroari, and Akatoge are the Jonin leaders responsible for the construction and protection of the second section of the Ryusa River in the Land of Demons next.

The Land of Demons is not the Land of Wind after all, especially after the huge benefits of the first stage of success are revealed, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.

Rasa is not worried about big troubles, but he hates those monsters and ghosts.

It is enough to let them handle these things with their Jonin strength.

However, for the sake of insurance, in addition to letting these twelve people choose the summoning beasts that suited them, Rasa also made them the first recipients of the Sage Art Curses.

That's right, perhaps the time has finally come to reap the rewards.

After a period of experimentation, the Sage Art Curse Seal has finally been successful.

“Okay, there are still ten days before the Five Kage Summit is about to begin. At that time, in addition to the Anbu, the Covert Ops Squad will also be responsible for the safety of the entire village. In addition, in order to prevent those daimyo from feeling bored, the Ninja Academy will hold a ninja exam. I will leave this matter to you. This is also considered a training for you...”
