In a quiet room in the Sand Village, Temari and Kankuro knelt respectfully in front of their father, Rasa. The room was filled with a tense and serious atmosphere.
Rasa looked dignified and stared at them sharply. "Tell me about Gaara. What happened?"
Temari took a deep breath and began to tell the story. "Father, during the Chunin Exam, Gaara met an extremely powerful opponent named Suigetsu. The battle between them was extremely fierce."
Rasa frowned slightly. "Suigetsu? I have never heard of this person."
Kankuro continued, "That Suigetsu actually used a space-time ninjutsu that looked like the Flying Thunder God, which made Gaara's attacks miss many times. His water-style techniques were also incredibly powerful; he could even create a water giant."
A trace of astonishment flashed in Rasa's eyes. He knew very well the difficulty of space-time ninjutsu and the horror of practicing water-style techniques to such a level.
"Faced with such an enemy, Gaara was in a very bad state and was forced to enter the state of possession, barely able to compete," Temari continued. "The battle lasted for a long time, and we were all worried about Gaara while watching the battle."
"We almost died there..."
Rasa's face became more and more gloomy, and he was worried about Gaara's situation.
"Even after entering the state of possession, Gaara almost died, and the tailed beast almost went berserk," Temari's voice was a little low. "Fortunately, he was saved by Sasuke."
Rasa's eyes narrowed. "Sasuke? The youngest son of the head of the Uchiha clan? The genius boy with more talent than Itachi?"
Temari nodded. "When Gaara was forced into a desperate situation by Suigetsu and was almost killed, the sand automatically took the form of mother Karura to protect Gaara."
"Also, Father," Kankuro added, "in the Chunin Exam, there was another guy named Toss who was also very strong. He could even tie with Gaara in his normal state. He was very fast..."
Rasa was even more shocked. He muttered to himself, "Two people can actually hurt Gaara..." His face became extremely ugly. He thought to himself, if Sasuke is included, there are three people who can fight Gaara and put him in danger. Three people from other villages can fight against the Jinchuriki of their Sand Village, which makes Rasa extremely worried.
"Damn it! Why! Why are all the geniuses from other villages? Our Sand Village lacks the kind of talent that Konoha has. If Ye Cang were still here... he would definitely be able to..."
"Wait, what did you say? Karura protected Gaara?"
Hearing this, Rasa's heart was shaken, and the image of Karura instantly appeared in his mind. Complex emotions surged in his heart: shock, longing, and a trace of guilt.
When Rasa heard Karura's name, his heart could not help but waver. He had always regarded Gaara as the tailed beast weapon of the Sand Village, only paying attention to his power and usefulness, but never really caring about his inner feelings. At this moment, he realized that the sand that protected Gaara was not just the power of the One-Tail, but more likely the power of Karura's motherly love.
Rasa fell into deep thought, reflecting on his attitude and approach to Gaara. He remembered Gaara's lonely growth experience since childhood, and his cold eyes and lonely back. He knew that he was not a good father. How much harm had Gaara's neglect and indifference caused this child?
"Did I do something wrong?" Rasa whispered to himself.
Temari and Kankuro looked at their father quietly. They knew that he must be very conflicted at this moment.
"Father, Gaara has always been eager for your love and recognition," Temari said softly. "Although he is very indifferent on the surface, deep in his heart, he also desires family affection."
Rasa slowly raised his head and looked at Temari and Kankuro, his eyes revealing a trace of confusion and struggle.
"What should I do?" Rasa asked softly. "I have tried to assassinate him many times just to make him adapt to the power of the tailed beast. Can he still forgive me, an unqualified father?"
Kankuro said firmly, "Father, we should change our attitude towards Gaara and let him feel our love and support. He is our younger brother and the future of the Sand Village."
Rasa nodded. He knew that he could not continue to ignore Gaara's feelings. He had to try to understand him, care for him, and love him.
"Father, what about the Konoha Collapse Plan?"
"Ah, the Konoha Collapse Plan... Continue to execute it!"
Rasa thought for a long time and made up his mind to continue the Konoha Collapse Plan.
"But!"
"Father! The Konoha Collapse Plan will also cause some losses to us in the Sand Village. If we only rely on the power of the One-Tail, it will definitely not be enough. But if we add Orochimaru's forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation, it might be possible..."
The purpose of the Konoha Collapse Plan is to reduce the strength of Konoha or even destroy Konoha and occupy Konoha Village! After all, the geographical location and environment of the Sand Village are extremely poor! This has led to almost no talents in the Sand Village. It is a luxury for ordinary people to have enough food. The village's finances are also very weak. The money given by the Daimyo is very limited. The village can only be maintained by relying on the Kazekage Rasa to pan for gold and sell money every day.
Basic operation.
Konoha's geographical location is a plain area, with mountains, water, mines, and labor! This has led to the fact that Konoha Village in the Land of Fire is the first of the five major villages in the five major countries, and Konoha has produced many talents! This has made many ninja villages very envious and accumulated a lot of hatred.
Rasa may not be a good father, but he must be a good leader.
Temari and Kankuro lowered their heads after listening.
"I understand, Father. We will continue to ambush in Konoha."
During this period, the Uchiha clan was still alive in Konoha. Because of Sasuke's rebirth, the Uchiha clan had reconciled with Konoha. The Uchiha clan was given the position of Konoha elder in secret. Many people were still unaware of it. Only the Uchiha clan and Konoha's high-level officials knew about it. People from other villages still thought that the Uchiha clan still had conflicts with Konoha, so they thought that the Uchiha would not intervene like the night of the Nine-Tailed Fox.
"Konoha, your death is coming. At that time, we of the Sand Village will occupy Konoha! Seize the Uchiha clan! Become the largest village in the ninja world! By then, it will not be five major countries and five major villages, but five major countries and four major villages!"
Rasa secretly made up his mind.
