[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained an F-rank item: One tael of gold.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a B-rank item: Confrontation Point Exchange Card.]

[Congratulations, Host. You have obtained an A-rank item: Sandification (S-rank Ninjutsu).]
[Sandification.]
[—Allows the body to turn into sand, granting immunity to all physical damage. Countered by water.]
"Similar to the Hydrification Technique of Kirigakure's Hozuki Clan. The difference is that mine turns me into sand. Hydrification is countered by Lightning Release, while mine is countered by water."
"It is basically the same as Crocodile's elementalization from the Sand-Sand Fruit in One Piece."
"It's also like the sand transformation used by the Desert King from Fairy Tail's Twelve Spriggan."
"If the name is Sandification, then there's a high chance it comes from the Desert King."
Rasa frowned slightly.
"Being countered by water is actually a fairly big weakness. After all, compared to lightning, water appears much more easily."
"But that doesn't mean Sandification has no value."
"To me, Sandification still has extremely high value."
"First, the place where I spend most of my time is the Land of Wind and Sunagakure. There is yellow sand everywhere. Here, finding water is not easy."
"Second, I have the Surface Fissure technique."
"One use of that ninjutsu can drain the moisture from an entire nearby area."
"Crescent Moon Sand Dune works the same way."
"If the opponent uses Water Release on me, I can use Crescent Moon Sand Dune, or use Magnet Release to control gold dust and block it."
"Sandification alone has weaknesses."
"But when used together with my other ninjutsu, that weakness will be reduced almost infinitely."
"Especially before my intelligence is exposed."
It was just like Obito Uchiha's Kamui.
When others lacked information about it, Obito Uchiha's ability was practically divine.
Even Minato Namikaze had suffered quite a bit under that technique.
But once others obtained information about Obito Uchiha's ability, the situation became very different.
Rasa looked toward the remaining prizes.
"Confrontation Point Exchange Card."
An old item card.
Rasa had used the previous two on Danzo.
"Use it!"
Very soon, six names appeared on the card.
Onoki.
Hiruzen Sarutobi.
A.
Fuguki Suikazan.
Jinin Akebino.
Yagura Karatachi.
"There's actually no Danzo?"
Rasa felt a little disappointed.
Danzo was too sensitive.
A casual jab could make him explode with huge amounts of emotional value.
Rasa's gaze moved back and forth among the six names.
"Fuguki Suikazan and Jinin Akebino are not too suitable. Recently, there haven't been any good events I can use to provoke them. And not long ago, Sunagakure already conducted interviews with both of them."
"On top of that, Fuguki Suikazan and Jinin Akebino are both enemies of Kirigakure."
"And Kirigakure is also Sunagakure's enemy."
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"A and Hiruzen Sarutobi haven't had much interaction with me recently."
"Onoki…"
Rasa disliked Onoki somewhat.
Not just Rasa.
Most of Sunagakure disliked Onoki and Iwagakure.
After all, before Kirigakure had humiliated Sunagakure, Iwagakure had already humiliated Sunagakure once.
Now, Sunagakure had already risen.
Because of that, everyone was waiting for an opportunity.
An opportunity to reasonably go to war against Iwagakure, defeat Iwagakure, and take back everything Sunagakure had lost.
Rasa, however, intended to wait a little longer.
On one hand, the Solar Disc had consumed too many resources.
On the other, Rasa felt Sunagakure's strength was still not quite enough.
Their top-level shinobi were not lacking.
They had him, Pakura, and Chiyo.
But below that, things were not enough.
In terms of mid-level shinobi, Sunagakure's strength was inferior to Iwagakure's.
"Leave Onoki aside for now."
"By comparison, Yagura Karatachi is undoubtedly the most suitable."
Yagura had been defeated and sealed.
But he was not dead.
As long as he was alive, Rasa could confront him.
As a prisoner sealed in place, he was even convenient to confront.
Even if Yagura was not as sensitive as Danzo, obtaining two thousand emotional points should not be very difficult.
A deep underground chamber.
This was the Solar Disc's East District One.
In Rasa's plan for Sunagakure, a total of twelve Solar Discs would be built.
Three in each direction, surrounding Sunagakure.
With each Solar Disc as the center, an area with a radius of ten kilometers would be named a district.
Each district would be divided into inner and outer sections.
A high wall would separate the two.
The core inner area would be stationed, patrolled, and managed by Sunagakure shinobi.
The outer area would undergo land transformation and become an oasis for planting crops.
With the Solar Disc absorbing most of the sunlight's energy, such transformation would not be difficult.
And beneath the core area of East District One, a prison had been established.
At this moment, Yagura was imprisoned inside that prison.
"Kazekage-sama!"
Rasa nodded slightly.
"Open the entrance to the Great Prison."
"Yes, Kazekage-sama!"
Following the staircase, he descended deeper and deeper.
All the way down to several hundred meters underground.
Inside a specially-made chamber, Yagura was imprisoned there.
His entire body was still wrapped in sealing scrolls.
Only his eyes were exposed.
The moment he saw Rasa, intense hatred immediately surged within them.
But at this moment, Yagura could not even speak.
The Solar Disc was very special.
Within a restricted area, it would indiscriminately attack unmarked living beings.
That was precisely why Rasa had temporarily imprisoned Yagura here.
It was safe.
The people of Kirigakure absolutely could not get in.
Rasa also had no intention of letting Yagura speak.
He only took out Ninja Major Events Weekly.
He opened it and placed it in front of Yagura.
Then he adjusted the headline to a position directly facing Yagura's eyes.
In an instant, the hatred in Yagura's eyes became even stronger.
Rasa could clearly see the emotional value on the Confrontation Card changing at a frantic speed.
Rasa raised a brow slightly.
"I didn't expect Yagura to be this sensitive too."
"Then there's no problem."
"Using this Confrontation Card to obtain two thousand emotional points from Yagura should not be difficult. This visit alone should be enough to push it to one thousand."
The stronger the hatred in Yagura's eyes became, the happier Rasa was.
The brighter Rasa's smile became.
And the brighter Rasa smiled, the more Yagura hated him.
In this way, it actually formed a positive cycle.
"Not bad. Not bad."
Meanwhile, after repeated hesitation, Kirigakure's higher-ups finally decided to push Chukichi into power.
When Kirigakure's Fifth Mizukage appeared, everyone in the shinobi world became certain.
The content Sunagakure had published in the Ninja Major Events Weekly headline was true.
Fourth Mizukage Yagura Karatachi was dead!
