Countless gold dust particles rushed straight into the sky, quickly enveloped the flying birds transformed from explosive clay, and then Rasa squeezed them tightly.
[Boom! Boom! Boom!]
Sounds of explosions were heard everywhere. At the same time, dozens of gold dust hands headed straight for Deidara.
"This guy..." Deidara quickly controlled the C2 'Dragon', dodging the gold dust encirclement. The sky was full of gold dust, forcing him to dodge back and forth, quite embarrassing.
"Rasa, you've really become stronger!" Sasori sighed softly, feeling the siege of infinite placer gold.
However, in fact, it is not that Rasa has become stronger, but that Rasa...
Now he is rich!
In the past, Sunagakure was so poor that Rasa had to dig mines to compensate for the village's financial problems.
Now that Sunagakure has money and the economic situation has improved, Rasa no longer has to worry about not having enough gold dust to fight. This allowed him to store a large amount of Gold Dust, which is critical for his ninjutsu.
And Rasa, who is now rich, uses a large amount of gold dust in a single attack, and his power will naturally skyrocket.
Infinite gold dust, constantly besieging and suppressing the two Akatsuki members.
Deidara gave a clear cry and a newly created bird exploded violently, opening an exit in the gold dust surrounding them.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Dragon C2 quickly flew away.
"Want to escape?" Rasa looked majestic and watched the two leave.
"I'm afraid they are daydreaming!"
As he said that, infinite gold dust surged forth, dragging him to reach them quickly.
Rasa continued the chase and soon reached about ten kilometers from Sunagakure. Deidara and Sasori also finally stopped.
"Why don't you run away?" Rasa stepped on the gold dust and slowly descended. He stared at the two people in front of him, narrowing his eyes slightly: "Looking at that outfit... Are you from Akatsuki?"
Iwagakure is the shinobi village that Akatsuki has had the most contact with and has naturally gathered a lot of information.
Since Onoki has decided to disclose the facts, he naturally doesn't mind leaking a lot of Akatsuki's information and causing trouble for them.
Deidara and Sasori didn't reveal much information, but the clothes are too obvious.
"It seems that the Hokage's warning is true, and you really want to capture the Jinchuriki of Sunagakure... Who gave you the courage to provoke the Five Great Shinobi Villages?" Rasa snorted coldly.
"Of course it is because of our strength!" Deidara laughed.
Rasa, however, spat and sneered: "Only by you? Do you dare to boast about your strength?"
'I have seen with my own eyes what is called true strength... A simple Akatsuki, do they still want to turn the world upside down?'
"I'd better arrest you first, and then slowly torture you!" As he spoke, gold dust gushed out madly.
"Shoot!" Deidara shouted.
There was an explosion. However, after the smoke from the explosion cleared, Rasa calmly remained under the defense of the gold dust, not losing a single hair.
Deidara's ninjutsu is naturally restricted by Rasa's gold dust.
In the Naruto Series, if Deidara had not used Sunagakure as a hostage, forcing Gaara to expend a large amount of Chakra to block the explosion, he might not have been young Gaara's opponent.
"Look at this, you, the strongest Kazekage, cannot comprehend my art!" Deidara's eyes twitched, and he immediately discovered this problem. "Brother, this guy still has a certain level of strength... you and I have to fight together!"
Rasa heard this, looked at Sasori next to Deidara, and frowned slightly. He faintly felt a familiar feeling from Sasori. And when he used the Puppet Technique he confirmed the identity of the other party.
"Are you Sasori of the Red Sand?!" Rasa's complexion changed slightly: "Did you also join Akatsuki?"
"That's right." Sasori said calmly.
"Having two S-Rank missing-nin attack me together, it seems like even you guys know about my reputation!" Rasa laughed out loud, but a solemn look flickered in her eyes. And his heart was beating wildly.
'Even if I bring enough gold dust, I still can't beat these two people!'
‘Do I need to use the hole card Natsuo gave me?' A look of anguish appeared in Rasa's eyes.
At the same time Deidara began to launch all kinds of explosive ninjutsu.
Without any hesitation, Sasori put out the puppet of Third Kazekage, the strongest Kazekage ever.
"It's the Third Generation... Without a doubt, the Third Generation was killed by you!" Rasa gritted her teeth, with a bit of hatred in her eyes.
"This is my best collection." Sasori said with a smile: "The puppet known as the strongest Kazekage... I can get two of them in one go, really... How lucky!"
"It's stupid!" Rasa snorted coldly. "Sasori, do you really think that a mere puppet can be compared with an elite in his heyday?"
"You puppet masters are also restrained by my ninjutsu." Rasa said proudly. "Do you really think you are my opponent?"
Although Rasa himself is an embarrassment to the Kage level, his ninjutsu really restricted the artistic combo.
The three quickly confronted each other.
Rasa yelled the hardest words and was beaten severely. After all, it's one against two! Being able to get so far is already considered an achievement for him.
Deidara and Sasori couldn't help but have a strange feeling. 'This is the strongest Kazekage? It doesn't seem to be that strong.'
Compared to the record of being able to face Natsuo and only be surpassed by him, it is too weak...
If it only reaches this level, they didn't need to push it away at all. The two could have joined forces and defeated him at Sunagakure.
The task that Akatsuki set up for the artistic combo was simply to contain Rasa, and they were prepared to even be defeated by him.
It's so different from the current situation!
Sasori and Deidara looked at each other. So the current situation must be...
"It must all be part of his conspiracy!"
The eyes of the two suddenly became sharp, the strongest Kazekage, a man who has been recognized by countless people for his strategies, how could he be so weak?
It must be showing the enemy's weakness and planning a counterattack in secret!
As expected of the Fourth Kazekage known as 'The Resourceful General', even facing us who can be crushed by strength, we are subconsciously making some small moves... Do you think we will be tricked?
"We can't let him succeed, it's time to use all our strength!" Sasori shouted, took out a scroll, and began to summon the puppets.
"I know! Brother Sasori!" Deidara also responded and started making bombs at the same time.
"Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets!"
Although his mouth is very arrogant, Rasa was actually hit very hard: "...?"
Looking at the hundreds of puppets and Deidara's action of kneading the bomb, Rasa was a little speechless. 'Sure enough, I am still not their opponent. I was about to struggle, but now...'
Just when Rasa was about to do something, suddenly...
[Roar!]
A roar of an angry beast was heard, and Sasori, Deidara, and Rasa looked in the direction of Sunagakure.
"Do you still have accomplices?" Rasa was frightened and angry, and someone stole the house?
"It seems that Itachi's team has won..." Sasori and Deidara smiled at the same time.
To deal with 'The Strongest Kazekage' and 'The Strongest Mizukage', Akatsuki changed from the original two-person team to the current four-person team.
Sasori and Deidara are only responsible for attracting Rasa, while the rest of the team is responsible for capturing One Tail.
Mangekyo Sharingan, which specializes in manipulating tailed beasts, and Kisame's Samehada which can absorb the tailed beast's Chakra...
Itachi's group is Akatsuki's trump card!
"Originally we planned to let Itachi quietly suppress the Tailed Beast..." Deidara smiled. "But looking at Sunagakure's Jinchuriki, we can't underestimate you and they really had to make a big noise."
"Hmph!" Rasa snorted angrily and the golden dust on his feet quickly carried him in the direction of Sunagakure.
"Don't even think about running!" Sasori's voice was deep, and hundreds of puppets rushed together.
Every puppet has Jonin level! Enough to conquer a country.
Rasa's face turned blue, and he had no choice but to sprinkle gold dust to deal with the puppets.
And the next second.
The puppets all retreated.
Rasa looked up suddenly, only to see Deidara drop a giant doll-like statue.
"Ohako C3!"
[Boom!!!]
A huge explosion sounded, and many puppets were destroyed.
Even the Dragon C2 that Deidara himself was riding in was blown far away by the explosion.
It's just a pity.....
"Sure enough, it's the kind I'm not good at facing. This guy's defense is really strong enough." Deidara pouted, and the strong and boundless gold dust rose again, forcibly blocking the power of the bomb.
Rasa knelt behind the gold dust on one knee, panting heavily.
This trick stopped. But his own consumption is not low. Plus the consumption of the previous battle, and the roar of the tailed beast...
"I didn't want to use this, you forced me!" Rasa took a deep breath, his eyes became decisive.
...
Sunagakure.
"Kill!"
"How dare you attack Sunagakure! Come on, brothers!"
"Damn it! Hold off the enemy until Kazekage-sama arrives, then he'll take care of these guys!"
Countless Suna-nin roared.
And Kisame wielded the Samehada, beheading several people in a row.
"Itachi, are you alright?"
"Damn the Land of Wind, it's the worst place to fight!" Kisame sighed helplessly, the power of Water Release has a lot to do with the surrounding environment.
But obviously, in Sunagakure, where the drought is so severe that they dare not use water for bathing, he cannot exert his full strength at all!
This is true even if he has a huge Chakra.
On the other hand, Itachi, who had Mangekyo active, stared into the One Tail's eyes, and powerful power burst from his eyes.
After a while.
"Okay!" Itachi gasped and deactivated the Mangekyo in his eyes.
And the gigantic One Tail in front of him also quickly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into the figure of Gaara.
"Take the Jinchuriki and go! Don't get entangled with them!" Itachi panted heavily.
Upon hearing this, Kisame killed all the Suna-nin in front of him without hesitation, then walked to Gaara's side in an instant and threw him over his shoulder.
"It really was resolved... In the face of the tailed beast that exploded with all its strength, it can be resolved very easily. The Sharingan truly lives up to its reputation!" Kisame looked at Gaara who was completely fainted and exclaimed.
Then he looked at the tired Itachi again.
'However, this consumption is too much... I really don't know how Natsuo was able to drag me into that illusion without being affected in the slightest.'
Itachi's consumption is actually not that great, he is already an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and his burden is greatly reduced.
However, he still pretended to be tired and said, "Kisame, time is almost up, Sasori and Deidara may not be able to delay it too much."
"I know." Kisame nodded.
The two left quickly.
The Suna-nin tried to pursue but were easily defeated.
Not long after, Rasa returned.
"What happened?" Rasa said with a scowling face. "Where is Gaara? Where is he?"
"Sorry, Kazekage-sama, Gaara-sama was taken away by the enemy..." Baki covered his bloody arm with a face of shame. "We are not strong enough to stop the enemy."
"Who did it?"
"They are the missing-nin Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame."
"It's those two guys... They're also members of Akatsuki!" Rasa's mouth twitched, but he had to comfort everyone. "It's okay, you have done a good job, you have tried your best, this is not you wrong."
"Kazekage-sama!"
There were tears in everyone's eyes, it was the Jinchuriki who was taken away, plus he was the youngest son of their most beloved Kazekage-sama! They are ashamed to face their Kazekage-sama.
"What happened? Rasa, I heard that the Jinchuriki was taken away?" A slightly old voice sounded.
Chiyo and Ebizo also heard the disturbance and came running.
"Well, it was Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame who attacked. They defeated One Tail and took Gaara away..." Rasa's expression darkened.
"What about you?" Chiyo said unceremoniously. "As Kazekage, why weren't you in the village at the time and didn't protect Gaara well?"
"You are the strongest Kazekage, how could someone snatch the Jinchuriki from the village?"
The unceremonious accusation made Rasa's face darken.
However, Chiyo is one of the few people in Sunagakure who doesn't fall for Rasa's nonsense. After all, she watched Rasa grow up. Others can't know how much Rasa weighs, but isn't she clear?
However, Chiyo and her younger brother Ebizo lived in seclusion due to Sasori's desertion and the unexplainable disappearance of the Third Kazekage.
So even if they didn't believe in Rasa, it didn't affect Rasa's prestige.
