Excluding Rasa, strictly speaking, Pakura is undoubtedly the one with the best chance of becoming a Kazekage.
This is why Rasa wants to kill Pakura.
Likewise, if Pakura eliminated Rasa, it wasn't one hundred percent certain, but at least she would have an eighty percent chance of becoming a Kazekage.
However, killing Rasa is not an easy task.
Rasa already has the strength of Kage level, and there are guards around him. What's more, if he leaves the village, his whereabouts must be hidden.
Pakura shook her head and said: "You know that if I kill Rasa, I could become the Kazekage. Doesn't Rasa know that? He must be on guard against me."
"Then we can only use the second method." Funan spread his hands.
Looking at Funan, Pakura had a bad feeling in his heart. "What method?"
Funan whispered in Pakura's ear.
Pakura's body trembled. "Are you crazy?" She opened her eyes in surprise and looked at Funan in shock.
Funan smiled and said: "Which of these two methods do you choose?"
"Can I choose neither?"
"So you want to die? Are you so virtuous? I admire you."
Pakura was silent again.
Funan did not urge her and waited calmly on the side.
Looking at Funan's appearance, Pakura sighed in her heart. After all, he was an Uchiha; only they could come up with such radical methods.
Moreover, he is worthy of being the man who brought Uchiha out of the whirlpool of Konoha. No matter how unserious he is at ordinary times, he has the necessary capacity and courage.
Sunagakure was undoubtedly aware of Konoha's situation.
"I understand!" Pakura made up her mind and said: "I choose the first method!"
Funan nodded indifferently and said: "Since you have already made up your mind, let's begin. I leave Sunagakure's side to you."
Pakura frowned and said: "Don't you think that our sudden decision followed by a series of actions will arouse suspicion?"
"If they become suspicious, what's the use? I do a lot of things and never care whether they know it or not. It's better if they know it. I will beat them openly!" Funan looked disdainful, then looked at Pakura with amusement and said: "At most, you can tell them that you were conquered by me. Is that not enough?"
Pakura was stunned and roared: "Get out!"
...
Pakura and Funan returned.
They had disappeared for a day, with no one knowing what they had been doing, and now they were both returning to Konohagakure together.
Funan went directly to find Shikaku.
Pakura went directly to find Baki.
"What?"
Two people in different places shouted at the same time.
"Deal with Kumogakure?"
"Yes!"
Funan said with a smile: "Sunagakure will join Konoha in putting pressure on Kumogakure, demanding an explanation why they impersonated Sunagakure and attacked Konoha's outposts."
"If they refuse, then I'm sorry, war!"
"I can't believe two villages together can't defeat a single Kumogakure!"
"This..." Shikaku was stunned.
Funan looked at Shikaku and said: "What's wrong? Isn't this the result that Konoha has always wanted?"
"But..." Shikaku hesitated and said: "Why would Pakura agree?"
Funan looked in the mirror, showed a confident smile, and said: "Being handsome has many advantages. On this point, you don't understand, Big Scar."
Shikaku turned around and left.
Looking at Shikaku's back, Funan smiled deeply. 'I will reach the top step by step, and no one can stop me.'
'Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo can't stop me. The five major shinobi villages can't stop me. Uchiha Madara can't stop me either. Black Zetsu and even the Six Paths Sage can't stop me.'
'Sarutobi Hiruzen, you guys just try your best to struggle, there's not much time left for you.'
…
Baki was also stunned.
Pakura agreed to join forces with Konoha to put pressure on Kumogakure.
"With Konoha as the main force, Sunagakure will only send shinobi to support." Pakura spoke calmly.
"Why?" Baki couldn't help but ask. "Why did you suddenly make such a decision?"
Baki hurried to explain when he noticed Pakura's gaze turn cold.
"Don't think too much, it's just that this matter is of great importance, I also want to inform Kazekage-sama."
Pakura felt suffocated.
If it weren't for Rasa, how could Funan tease her for so long? How could she reach an alliance agreement under Funan's threat.
These days, she has become a joke in Konoha.
'And now you dare to mention the Kazekage in front of me?'
Pakura suddenly showed a charming smile and said: "Of course, I was conquered by Funan."
"What?" Baki's jaw almost dropped.
"Haha, just kidding!" Pakura laughed and said: "Of course I did, because this is what's best for Sunagakure."
"Best for Sunagakure?"
"Yes!" Pakura explained. "This time, Konoha will take the lead, and we are just assisting. Even if a war breaks out, Konoha will be in the front, and the damage to Sunagakure will not be great."
Baki nodded subconsciously.
However, what Pakura just said is still echoing in his ears. 'I was conquered by Funan...'
How is it possible! Absolutely impossible!
Baki became irritated.
He is Rasa's confidant and knows the relationship between Pakura and Rasa very well.
If Pakura got help from the Uchiha clan, it would be fatal for Rasa.
While Baki was deep in thought, he didn't notice Pakura looking at him with deep meaning.
Behind that gaze, there was a trace of killing intent.
…
Soon, Konoha issued a censure statement.
They expressed their dissatisfaction towards Kumogakure, questioning why they impersonated Sunagakure and attacked Konoha's guard posts, and demanded an explanation from Kumogakure.
In Konoha's censorship statement, Pakura of Sunagakure also signed.
This represented the alliance between the two villages.
After the declaration of censure, Shikaku and several jonin in charge of this matter showed complicated expressions.
How many years have passed?
Konoha actually took the initiative to put pressure on other shinobi villages.
At least after Sarutobi Hiruzen became Hokage, it has always been other shinobi villages that shouted at Konoha.
Konoha adheres to the concept of peace and chooses to be tolerant.
At this moment, including Shikaku, several Konoha Jonin, inexplicably thought: Maybe it would be good for Funan to become Hokage.
Shikaku looked at the contents of the condemnation letter, his tone was extremely harsh, making clear a feeling of being prepared for war.
Why can such a letter of condemnation be passed?
One is the help of Sunagakure.
And the most important point is that Funan promised in public that if a war breaks out, Uchiha will dispatch fifteen Jonin and two hundred elite shinobi, led by Funan himself.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was blocked and couldn't disagree.
"Ah!" Shikaku sighed deeply and then began adjusting some of Konoha's jonin quests.
In addition, a large number of shinobi were mobilized to the border of Kumogakure.
Between Konoha, Sunagakure, and Kumogakure, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, on the verge of war.
…
Sunagakure.
Rasa received a message from Baki, and her expression turned grim. 'Fuck, I'm the Kage! I am the Kazekage! Now, Sunagakure could be about to go to war with Kumogakure, and the censure statement has already been sent. And I, the Kazekage, just found out about this.'
Damn!
Rasa has to admit that if he were in Konoha, his choice would be the same as Pakura's, and he would join forces with Konoha.
The worst that can happen is the loss of some shinobi.
As one of the five major shinobi villages, Sunagakure can afford the loss.
And if they are successful, the benefits would be enormous.
Rasa looked at the documents on the side.
Several documents showed that Sunagakure had a huge financial crisis recently.
Damn Konoha, they took away too many missions from them.
Without missions, there is no money. Without money, Sunagakure can't even maintain the current number of shinobi.
If they can get something out of Kumogakure, that would be the best.
However, the person who made this decision was Pakura!
Rasa's gaze was deep, full of dark and complicated thoughts.
...
The Raikage's office.
The Fourth Raikage's office was probably the most unique among all the Kage offices.
There are not many files in the whole office, only fitness equipment.
A muscular man about two meters tall was lifting weights.
[Knock! Knock! Knock!]
Accompanied by a violent knock on the door, a woman in her twenties walked into the office.
Looking at the Raikage who was working out, she said with a headache: "Raikage-sama, have you read the documents I brought you yesterday? I need your signature on them."
The deep voice of the Raikage sounded: "I gave them to you, so sign for me!"
Mabui couldn't help but complain: "Who is the Raikage?"
"Mabui!" The Raikage said seriously. "As the Raikage, I must maintain my strength at all times. You understand that there will always be some guys who try to rise through the ranks."
The Raikage's muscles trembled violently, his pose was fierce and terrifying, like an angry demon.
Mabui did not comment on this.
Kumogakure was indeed unstable. The death of the third generation Raikage was too sudden. Although he had already decided that his only son would be the fourth generation Raikage, there were always some people who thought they had a chance.
Fortunately, the current Raikage, although he did not like to deal with political matters, had a broad vision and a clear mind, as well as being individually powerful.
Although he was not as strong as the third generation, he still beat down those who had ulterior motives and successfully took the position of Raikage.
But, to this day, there were still those who tried to challenge his position.
For this reason, the fourth generation Raikage had to stop the war, otherwise, with his temper, he would have attacked Iwagakure and avenged his father.
