Seven days passed in a flash.

“Boom!”

Over the boundless desert, yellow sand covered everything.

The air was scorching and dry!

Accompanied by a booming sound, sand and gold dust rolled in from two directions like tsunamis in the distance, then collided with a deafening crash, sending waves of sand hundreds of meters high into the air, causing the ground beneath to tremble.

After the impact of the tsunamis, countless arms made of sand and gold dust flew out, climbing into the air at speeds imperceptible to the naked eye, then intertwined and strangled each other, emitting terrifying shrieks.

Then, the sand and gold dust transformed into a torrential rain, falling from the sky.

As they fell, these particles of sand and gold dust were condensed by a mysterious force into sharp senbon needles, whistling through the air, transforming the desert into a sea of needles, a terrifying scene like the depths of hell.

At the edge of this battle between sand and gold, Maki, an elite jonin, swallowed hard, staring in astonishment at the godlike scene, experiencing firsthand the terrifying power of a Kage.

As for why the Kazekage-sama suddenly mastered the Sand Control Technique developed by the Second Kazekage-sama, he wisely refrained from asking.

And so, after about an hour, this grand battle came to an end, and the entire desert returned to silence.

Amidst the swirling yellow sand, Rasa, standing atop a cloud of gold dust, descended from the sky and landed in front of Maki.

Upon seeing this, Maki respectfully knelt and bowed.

“Kazekage-sama!”

Rasa nodded, his tone devoid of any emotion.

“How are the preparations?”

This wasn't Rasa deliberately putting on a cold facade; it was simply his original personality.

Cold, ruthless!

The transmigrated Rasa couldn't help but be influenced by the original memories.

And these past seven days, in order to master the body's power, he hadn't even returned home, not even seeing his newlywed wife, the pitiful woman from the storyline: Karura.

There was no choice; the impending war with Konoha placed too much pressure on him!

Every moment, he was using information from the original story and his own memories to familiarize himself with his powers, while also simulating potential future battles, preparing mentally for any eventuality.

“The intelligence has been gathered; starting with the three major cities of Sumiya, Monobe, and Ouka, and including fourteen other small and medium-sized cities, we have thoroughly investigated the wealth and actual controllers of the major nobles within, ensuring a successful strike.”

“Mm.”

Rasa nodded in satisfaction.

“What is the number of jonin and chunin that can be mobilized this time?”

“On the jonin side, according to current statistics, Yekura-sama leads twenty-five, Mikawa-sama leads thirty, and from Anbu, there are already twenty-eight awaiting Kazekage-sama's orders; as for the number of chunin, there are a total of 325.”

“How are the Anbu arranged?”

“According to your idea, seventeen jonin team leaders have been left with Anbu, each responsible for a city. With the cooperation of Elder Ebizo's sealing squad, at least two jonin team leaders can be assigned to each city for cleanup. Among them, three jonin team leaders have been assigned to Sumiya, Monobe, and Ouka respectively. As for genin, excluding the children still attending the Ninja Academy, the total number is 2325, divided into seventeen large teams.”

Hearing this, Rasa frowned.

It seemed that Sunagakure was truly suffering from a talent shortage; it wasn't just that there were few ninjas at the chunin level or above, but the number of genin was also so small.

One must know that this wasn't a time of war, but rather after more than a decade of recuperation.

Judging from the Fourth Shinobi World War, where the Five Great Nations united and were able to mobilize an 80,000-strong shinobi alliance, the other four nations could at least mobilize tens of thousands of ninjas during the same period.

Hopefully, after this operation, Sunagakure will have the funds and resources to rapidly increase the number of ninjas.

“Mm, you've done well.”

At this point, Rasa's tone turned icy.

“Remember, all the funds obtained from this operation must be held in the hands of Anbu. Without my order, no one is allowed to approach.”

Maki nodded nervously.

“Understood, Kazekage-sama, but Elder Ebizo…”

“Don't worry, he won't interfere!”

Maki thought of Sasori's matter and how Elder Ebizo had entrusted the Tailed Beasts to the Kazekage-sama, and nodded in understanding.

“Anything else?”

“Yekura-sama and Mikawa-sama wish to confirm the specific time of departure. Spies from other ninja villages within the village have already noticed something; we can't hide it for much longer.”

“In that case, tell them that three days from now, when the sun sets, will be the time for us to attack Konoha!”

“Yes!”

As Maki's figure disappeared with a Body Flicker Technique, Rasa let out a long sigh of relief.

Three days later, he would have to face this cruel ninja world.

Fortunately, he had now completely familiarized himself with the power of this body, mastering Magnet Release, Sand Control Technique, and Shukaku's Cursed Seal, and had gradually become familiar with the ninja's fighting style.

However, Rasa had been thinking hard these past few days and realized that he didn't have enough trump cards to rely on.

What is a trump card?

Taking the current Kage as examples.

The Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure has Dust Release, which can disintegrate everything. In the current ninja world, this move is almost invincible; being hit by it is certain death.

Then, the Third Raikage of Kumogakure also has Lightning Release Chakra Mode. One must know that the speed of Lightning Release Chakra Mode can rival space-time ninjutsu like Flying Thunder God, and its defense can even ignore Chidori, making it invincible in close combat.

And the Third Hokage of Konoha is even more terrifying. Not to mention the various S-rank ninjutsu created by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, even his summoning beast, the Vajra Monkey King Enma, is enough to make Rasa's Shukaku form helpless.

Among these five Kage, the only one as pitiful as Rasa is the Third Mizukage of Kirigakure.

One with Magnet Release, the other with Boil Release.

Although their destructive power is also terrifying, compared to the other three, they seem somewhat lacking.

This time, Sunagakure is suddenly attacking the Land of Fire, and even Rasa, the Kazekage, has been dispatched, so Konoha will definitely not sit idly by.

Although Konoha's high-level combat power is somewhat stretched right now, the Third Hokage, as a pillar of support, has always been stationed in the village. If the Third Hokage is dispatched this time, then he really doesn't have much confidence in winning.

Therefore, Rasa must think of more ways to increase his odds?

At least not lose too badly!

Unfortunately, Fuku's current state is not suitable for extracting Shukaku's chakra again.

And with only three days left, it's too short for Rasa to seize the other chakras he knows about.

Such as the Star from Hoshigakure, or the Ryuumyaku in Rouran.

He is now the village's Kage, and at this crucial moment, he can't leave the village.

Therefore, after thinking it over, Rasa only has one option.

Rasengan, a ninjutsu that all transmigrators know, Rasa is also preparing to try and see if he can master it.

Fortunately, the training method for Rasengan is described in detail in the manga, and under the descriptions of various transmigrator predecessors, Rasa also understands it clearly.

Although the time is a bit short, with an open-book test and Rasa's own Kage-level strength, three days might be enough.

More importantly, Rasa has no choice now.

And so, three days passed in a flash, and Sunagakure's sudden attack on the Land of Fire finally began…
