On the Suwon side, a civilian jounin.
Bluefish with vegetables, a commoner ninja.
...
Dried persimmon charcoal comes from the dried persimmon family.
Watermelon Mountain Butterfly, wife of Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon.
"She's actually the wife of the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon."
Luo Sha's eyes flickered.
"I'm quite lucky. Among the six Jonin from Kirigakure that I selected, there's one like this. And this Suigetsu Kocho is currently on the front lines."
"His individual strength is probably only average among Jonin, so Sunagakure did not pay much attention to him."
"However, the identity of Suigetsu Fuguki's wife is too special."
Several thoughts flashed through Luo Sha's mind quickly.
"Suikyuu Oni and Tsukakuno Eito have a bad relationship. If I fabricate something detrimental to Tsukakuno Eito in Suikyuu Butterfly's dream, it will exacerbate the conflict between Suikyuu Oni and Tsukakuno Eito."
"When the two have a conflict, the coordination between the two armies of Kirigakure will deteriorate."
"The situation of the Sand Village army will improve."
Without further hesitation, Luo Sha quickly identified the intended recipient.
"Use, Watermelon Mountain Butterfly."
Before long, Luo Sha had completed a dream.
The next moment, the Dream-Constructed Card transformed into a streak of light and vanished in the blink of an eye.
"The Dream Card will take effect once the selected target falls asleep."
"I don't know if it will achieve the effect I expect."
Luo Sha's eyes flickered.
"We still don't have enough items. We need to get more points. Ebizo's promotion of the rumors isn't very effective, so we can't increase the speed of point acquisition for the time being."
"If there are no other sources of points, it would take about a month to accumulate 1,000 points."
"But Sunagakure may not be able to wait."
Luo Sha sighed.
"The conditions in Sunagakure are truly harsh, unlike Konoha, which was able to remain stable after experiencing the Uchiha Rebellion. It's truly enviable."
"If the Dream Card doesn't achieve the effect I expect, I'll probably have to go to the front lines myself. I can't let Ye Cang bear all the pressure alone."
"With Yekura dead, the situation in Sunagakure will only get worse."
Thinking of this, Luo Sha couldn't help but look towards a corner of the village.
"Chiyo..."
"If Chiyo were willing to help, the village's situation would be better, but how can we persuade Chiyo?"
"In exchange for information about Sasori of the Red Sand?"
But Rasa knew very well that empty words were useless against a shrewd person like Chiyo.
To convince Chiyo, we need to provide evidence first.
"Or perhaps, external hiring."
Luo Sha thought of someone.
A rogue ninja from Takigakure named Kakuzu.
He was a ruthless character who attempted to assassinate the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, back then, but of course, he failed.
However, after returning to Takigakure, this person was imprisoned in a death cell by the village's higher-ups on the grounds of mission failure. Yet, he managed to break out of the death cell, steal the Earth Grudge Technique, and escape.
This person is quite capable.
It's just that Hashirama Senju was too abnormal.
After leaving Takigakure, Kakuzu became a bounty hunter.
The kind of job you get paid to do it.
"Money is scarce in Sunagakure, but I don't seem to lack it."
Luo Sha looked at his drawer.
So far, I have participated in 37 lotteries.
They obtained a forged will.
Three ninja trial cards.
A dream-weaving card.
Two ninjutsu scrolls.
The rest is all gold.
The amount of gold in the drawer had reached three jin (approximately 1.5 kg).
This is no small amount.
"However, even a bounty hunter as powerful as Kakuzu would only act when his target is alone. It's highly unlikely that he could actually break into the Hidden Mist army and take their head."
"But we can try to make contact with Kakuzu."
"Once a long-term trading relationship is established, there is a possibility of bringing Kakuzu over."
However, Rasa also had some reservations about Kakuzu.
Firstly, this person is not from Sunagakure.
Secondly, Kakuzu is tyrannical and has his own interests. Moreover, he is not a child or young person like Uchiha Izumi or Uchiha Kagetsu, but a cunning old man who has lived through the era of the First Shinobi Village.
If you can win them over and use them well, they can be a useful tool.
However, if used improperly, it will bring trouble to Sunagakure.
"Let Maki handle this task."
"Young people need to gain more experience."
"There is a risk, but it's not high."
Soon, Maki received the order and rushed to the Wind Shadow Building.
"teacher."
"Maki, I have a task for you."
"Please go ahead, teacher."
"Find a rogue ninja from Takigakure named Kakuzu and commission him to kill a ninja from Kirigakure. As for which Kirigakure ninja to kill, that's up to you, Maki."
Maki looked puzzled.
"Teacher, how many Hidden Mist ninjas could you kill by hiring a ninja like that? And those bounty hunters must be asking for a lot of money."
"I have my reasons. Go ahead."
"Yes, teacher."
Machi did not quite understand Rosa's intentions.
However, Maki will still strictly follow Rosa's orders.
This is why Maki was able to become Rasa's disciple; it wasn't just because of his talent.
Luo Sha watched Ma Ji's retreating figure as he left.
It took a long time before he finally looked away.
After finishing his work, Luo Sha went to the rooftop of the Fengying Building.
The pillar that was cut down by the Wind Release: Vacuum Wave Technique last time has not been repaired.
Rasa took out a ninjutsu scroll.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Blade Technique: By channeling the Wind Release chakra in your hand into a kunai, you can create a sharp but powerless sword that inflicts massive damage on your enemy."
"But it's not just kunai."
"Anything else is fine too."
"And if it contains chakra metal, that would be even better."
Rasa opened the ninjutsu scroll and began to browse through it carefully.
After a while, he put away the scroll and took out a kunai.
Then, Rasa took a deep breath and raised the kunai.
Then he spat a breath of wind-style chakra onto the kunai.
An invisible blade immediately formed on the kunai.
Rasa, holding a kunai, swung it at another stone pillar.
"Snap!"
In an instant, the stone pillar broke and fell.
A cloud of gold dust appeared, caught the falling half of the stone pillar, and slowly lowered it.
"It has considerable power and poses a significant threat to enemies in close combat. Half of the ninjas simply cannot defend against it, and even those with ninja tools cannot withstand it with ordinary ninja tools."
"The injuries caused by this technique are also very typical; you can tell at a glance that Danzo did it."
...
...
midnight.
Suigetsu Hozuki was suddenly awakened and looked to his side, where he saw his wife with her eyes tightly closed, but her face full of fear.
"Pufferfish Demon, don't die! Help! Don't die, Pufferfish Demon!"
Watermelon Pufferfish Demon: "???"
Where did I die?
