[Boom! Boom! Boom!]

 

The earth trembles. The sky tears apart.

 

The Suna Shinobi in the distance stare in astonishment. The Susanoo covers the sky, and the surging sand is like a tsunami. The thunderous sounds indicate the intensity of the battle.

 

"So this is the legendary power of the Uchiha..."

 

"It's okay, our Fourth Kazekage didn't lose to him!"

 

"Although I have greatly overestimated the level of the Fourth Kazekage, I never imagined that he would still exceed our expectations... Truly the strongest Kazekage!"

 

The Suna Shinobi are filled with shock and awe. Even from such a distance, the earth-shaking battle can still be clearly felt.

 

How exaggerated it all is! But... our Fourth Kazekage didn't lose! Even from this far away, we can still see that unique shade of yellow in his sand.

 

The Suna Shinobi eagerly watch from a distance.

 

The prestige of the strongest Kazekage is formidable. Although every Suna Shinobi wishes to rush in and help Rasa in the fight, in the end, they do nothing. After all, this is what the Fourth Kazekage hoped for...

 

The battle has already continued for a full half hour. From time to time the sound of collisions could be heard, and the ground under their feet barely stopped shaking. But in the end the battle ended.

 

Under the hopeful gaze of the Suna Shinobi, Rasa, covered in blood, returned with staggering steps.

 

"Sorry, companions, I still lost." He was covered in blood, with slight swelling on his face. The mixture of sand and blood on his body formed a reddish mud stain, fully demonstrating his efforts.

 

The Suna Shinobi were filled with excitement and tears streaming down their faces.

 

"Rasa-sama, you did your best!"

 

"No! If it weren't for the Fourth Kazekage's concern about collateral damage to Sunagakure's forces and if we had enough high-level shinobi to support him, he wouldn't have lost to a mere Natsuo!"

 

"Damn it! We are too weak! We don't even have a qualified shinobi to help Rasa-sama. We are too decadent, forgive us Rasa-sama!"

 

Natsuo: "..."

 

How should it be said? Natsuo is definitely a good employee. After the boss pays, he organizes things clearly and tries his best to act.

 

For example, he was worried about Rasa's insufficient chakra, so he took matters into his own hands and attacked the ground, causing vibrations to spread in all directions.

 

And Rasa's greatest contribution was to disperse the golden sand. Of ten parts of sand, only one part was golden sand, this is how he was able to create the appearance of a great wave, making the Suna Shinobi in the distance see the strength of the 'strongest Kazekage'.

 

Whether it was the drastically changed terrain or the vibrations that the Suna Shinobi occasionally felt, they were all caused by Natsuo.

 

He fully demonstrated his skills in creating the scene of an epic battle.

 

The Suna Shinobi were truly deceived by his acting, believing in Rasa's title as the 'Strongest Kazekage'.

 

This was the result Natsuo had anticipated, but...

 

When the Suna Shinobi took it so seriously, he didn't know what to say.

 

'Okay, let's consider it as helping my father-in-law... After all, my father-in-law has proven his 'sincerity'. Cooperating with him a little won't affect me at all 'Natsuo thought, then touched his nose and cleared his throat. "Kazekage, since you have admitted defeat, then next..."

 

"I understand." Rasa nodded towards Natsuo and let out a sigh. Then he looked towards the Suna Shinobi. "Fellow shinobi, I apologize. We have lost this battle..."

 

"No! Kazekage-sama! We can still fight!" The Suna Shinobi shouted excitedly. "We haven't lost yet. We are willing to use our lives to help you defeat this damn Uchiha!"

 

Rasa shook his head slowly. "No need. A victory won with the blood of the Suna Shinobi is not what I want... We lost this time!"

 

"Natsuo, don't worry, I will send an envoy now to negotiate peace with Konoha."

 

Natsuo looked at him, then according to the agreed script he said: "This won't be a tactic to buy time, right?"

 

"Sunagakure has preserved his strength well. You don't plan to wait until you've recovered from your injuries to attack Konoha again, do you?"

 

"No, you can rest assured." Said Rasa, pausing for a moment. "As collateral...Temari!"

 

"Ah?" Temari was surprised, she never expected her father to call her at this moment. She leaped up and landed beside Rasa. "Kazekage-sama."

 

"Don't call me Kazekage-sama, just call me father." Rasa sighed lightly, looking at Temari with a mixture of love and reluctance. But in the end, he became resolute.

 

"Temari, are you willing to sacrifice yourself for Sunagakure?"

 

Temari was a little confused, but she didn't hesitate to say: "I am willing!"

 

Rasa nodded, then turned to Natsuo and said in a deep voice: "Natsuo, I know you don't trust us, the Suna Shinobi, but I can prove our sincerity to you..."

 

"Temari is my daughter. She will accompany you and stay by your side as a hostage."

 

"If there are any unusual moves on Sunagakure's part, you can break the agreement directly!"

 

"Is this acceptable?"

 

As soon as these words were spoken, many Suna Shinobi were stunned. Then their faces showed expressions of anger and humiliation.

 

"No! Kazekage-sama! We can still fight! Sunagakure can still fight!"

 

"That's right! Please don't sacrifice your daughter. I am willing to fight for you!"

 

"Kazekage-sama, even if I have to risk my life, I will create an opportunity for you to kill Natsuo. Please, don't do this!"

 

However, Rasa slowly shook his head. "No, it's not possible." He let out a sigh, his face filled with sorrow. "We, Sunagakure, have lost, but our strength has been almost completely preserved. If Natsuo doubts our sincerity, what should we do if he starts launching indiscriminate attacks at this time?"

 

"How many of our brothers from Sunagakure will die?"

 

"Temari, is my daughter. Aren't the Suna Shinobi the sons and daughters of their parents?"

 

Upon hearing this, Temari's eyes welled up with tears. An intense emotion surged in her chest, urging her to step forward and loudly declare: "Okay! As the daughter of the Kazekage, I should not only enjoy being protected in the rear, but I should also charge to the front lines. "

 

"Father, please entrust this mission to me!"

 

"Truly, you are my good daughter." Rasa nodded approvingly, then spoke sternly: "This is the order of Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure!"

 

"Suna Shinobi, will you defy this order?"

 

"Kazekage-sama!" Tears streamed down the eyes of many Suna Shinobi. They gritted their teeth, and all kneeled down.

 

"We obey the order of the Kazekage!"

 

And before them, Rasa, despite his seemingly disheveled appearance, seemed to emit a sacred radiance. The mixture of blood, sweat, and dust on him was so dazzling.

 

Beside him, Natsuo thought: 'In fact, every expert at the Kage level has his own greatness. If Rasa were thrown into the entertainment industry of my previous world, he would definitely be a contender for Best Actor.'

 

Rasa returned to the Sunagakure camp, then began treating his wounds while arranging to send messengers to Konoha. Although these injuries were deliberately created, they were still real injuries! Shinobi have keen eyesight, and if the wounds were fake, they would be seen through at a glance. Then Rasa suffered some injustices. Doesn't this show that he is very dedicated as an actor? At least he didn't need a stunt double.

 

The diplomatic delegation does not have much to negotiate. Although Sunagakure has gained much from Konoha, it is unlikely that Tsunade will refuse Sunagakure's surrender.

 

After all, Konoha is already under pressure due to the war, and although Sunagakure launched a strong offensive in this war, they mainly occupied some lands and captured some supplies. For Konoha, which is rich and powerful, it is actually nothing.

 

Without blood feuds, a ceasefire is naturally not difficult.

 

As for what conditions were finally obtained, Natsuo doesn't care, that's Sunagakure's problem.

 

After solving the previous problems, Rasa began to brainwash his daughter... Cough... I mean the old father's instructions before parting with his daughter.

 

He made it clear to Temari about Natsuo's character, and that he sent her deliberately. Natsuo is a powerful ninja, and he hopes that she can work hard to win him over and reduce her hostility towards Sunagakure. If she can bring him back to Sunagakure, it would be even better...

 

Rasa said these words very seriously. He really hopes that Temari will gain favor with him. Rasa witnessed him summoning the chakra giant for half an hour of fake fighting, and afterward, his face didn't change, and he didn't even breathe heavily.

 

Rasa began to complain in his mind. 'Who the hell spread the news that Natsuo can't fully demonstrate the power of that technique? Or is it Natsuo himself who is worried that he is acting too high-profile, so he is deliberately spreading fake news to avoid being surrounded?'

 

Rasa now fully understands one thing. Whoever gets Natsuo will get the world. If he can bring Natsuo to Sunagakure, it is not a dream for Sunagakure to dominate the world.

 

On the other hand, if he can't bring him over, he can only try his best to prevent him from becoming an enemy of Sunagakure...

 

So even if they didn't discuss the option of Temari becoming his wife, Rasa would still make the same decision. Everything is for Sunagakure!

 

Temari also accepts this to a certain extent. The shinobi have actually received a strong ideological education, so sacrificing themselves for the village is normal.

 

Although this time she feels like Rasa is selling her out, which is a bit cheap on Rasa's part. But if it can reduce some losses for the village, Temari can accept it.

 

In the end, it's because Rasa's prestige is too high.

 

Even if Rasa admits his complete defeat to Natsuo, the Suna Shinobi still consider him the hope of Sunagakure, looking at Rasa with admiration on their faces.

 

In the midst of all this frenzy of fanaticism, even Temari, as the daughter of Rasa, who knows very well what her father is like, has been influenced to some extent.

 

The only one who hasn't been influenced by this madness is probably Gaara... He looks at Rasa, who is full of 'fatherly love' towards Temari, with a strange expression on his face, always wanting to say something. But he doesn't dare to say it. After all...

 

Natsuo is still waiting outside the Sunagakure camp.

 

Natsuo brought Temari back to the village. He also brought the news of Rasa's decision to seek peace.

 

Tsunade looks at Temari, who is obediently standing behind Natsuo, not knowing what to say. Who goes out to fight and comes back with a wife?

 

Tsunade complained in her mind. 'I've always heard that Uchiha Natsuo is a weirdo, not at all like an Uchiha... Now I see it, this guy is the most orthodox Uchiha!'

 

To 'revive' the Uchiha clan, he even brought back the daughter of the leader of an enemy shinobi village. This kind of almost crazy obsession, even Tsunade can't believe it if it's not Uchiha.

 

'But peace is always a good thing.' Tsunade secretly thinks.

 

Although Sunagakure was the first to declare war on Konoha and managed to successfully carry out Operation Destroy Konoha, the two sides are not irreconcilable enemies.

 

After a series of battles, Konoha has also suffered losses, and the voices longing for peace are growing louder.

 

'Rasa also doesn't seem to be the shame of Kage levels as previously stated. He was able to fight against Natsuo, who had activated the Susanoo, for so long. Obviously, he's also a powerful shinobi.' Tsunade speculated in her mind. 'Peace is the best option.'

 

Outside of the losses that Sunagakure caused Konoha during Operation Destroy Konoha, they only occupied the territory of the Land of Fire, in addition to confiscating its resources. As long as they return the invaded territory, the rich and powerful Konoha will not care about that small amount of resources.

 

The other high-level members of the village also expressed the same attitude.

 

After all, The Kazekage is not only very strong, but also very cunning, and has achieved almost miraculous results during this war.

 

Konoha when fighting such an enemy, the pressure it must endure is really great.

 

Even if Konoha makes some concessions to Sunagakure, they can rely on the concentrated strength of all fronts to double their gains from the remaining opponent, Iwagakure.

 

It can be said that during all these operations, in the end Konoha will not incur losses. Of course, peace treaties between the Great Shinobi Villages will not be signed today or tomorrow. There will still be negotiations, which will take some time.....

 

The battle between Natsuo and Rasa spread quickly through the spies of the various forces.

 

Everyone was surprised to hear the news.

 

"Damn, is the Kazekage really that strong?"

 

Especially some people who still had their doubts, specifically went to the place where Natsuo and Rasa fought for a long time and finally came to a conclusion.

 

The strongest Kazekage, he truly lives up to his name!

 

The Suna Shinobi also solemnly declared: If it weren't for Rasa-sama's love for the people of his village and his unwillingness to sacrifice the Suna Shinobi, perhaps there would have been a chance to defeat Natsuo.

 

After all, the two of them had a big battle and fought for a long time back then.

 

Besides Kirigakure's strongest Mizukage, who could fight Natsuo for so long?

 

Many Suna Shinobi expressed: "If our Kazekage-sama lets us help, it is possible to defeat Natsuo."

 

"Unfortunately, our Kazekage cares too much about his fellow villagers and is unwilling to allow us to sacrifice ourselves... We are all willing to die for our Kazekage!"

 

The Suna Shinobi looked regretful.

 

It also made Rasa, who was still stunned by how the situation was developing, realize that being defeated by Natsuo not only did not diminish his prestige, but made his reputation even stronger.

 

After all, losing to the number one person in the Shinobi World is not a disgrace, but rather an honor. The Suna Shinobi even refer to Rasa as the number one person under Natsuo.

 

And the second strongest person under Natsuo would be the Mizukage.

 

Of course, the Kiri Shinobi are not convinced by this. They believe that since Rasa had already anticipated Natsuo's return, with Rasa's intelligence, he must have made preparations on the battlefield early on.

 

The reason he was able to entangle with Natsuo for so long is obviously because he relied on the things he had prepared earlier. His true strength should be below our Mizukage.

 

Both sides exchanged insults from a distance, each with their own reasoning, fiercely opposing each other without giving an inch.

 

But regardless, the fact is that the strongest Mizukage, Terumi Mei and the top level expert the strongest Kazekage, Rasa; They have been recognized by everyone.

 

Some even considered that if they joined together they would be stronger than Natsuo.

 

While these rumors spread Natsuo remained silent.
