Chapter 78 (1/2)

Border of the Wind Country.

Because it was decided to start a full-scale war, most of Suna's Shinobi went to the front, only a small number of Shinobi and the younger generation remained in the village.​​

There are reasons why they dared to do this. On the one hand, the Wind Country is located in a desert environment and is extremely poor in resources, unadapted shinobi will be greatly weakened by this. On the other hand, in terms of geographical location, only Iwagakure could attack them at such a moment, however, they would have to expend a huge amount of strength and resources to infiltrate the inner regions of Wind Country, Kumogakure would definitely not miss the chance to take advantage of it.

These conditions allowed Suna to launch a full-scale offensive.

Sunagakure Front camp.

The Central tent.

”Lord Kazekage, here are the statistics of today's losses....twenty-one people were killed, forty-three were seriously injured, and one hundred and nine were slightly injured.”

Jounin handed the doc.u.ment to the Fourth Kazekage.

Rasa looked at it and put it on the table: ”There is no need to change anything, tomorrow we will continue to act in accordance with the plan.”

”There is.”

Jounin accepted the order and left the tent.

”Until Pakura launches an attack, it's best to hold back the troops to minimize casualties, but then Konoha might get suspicious...”

Ebizo looked at the map on the table and said.

Rasa nodded: ”Yes, in order to avoid suspicion from Konoha, we must continue an active offensive, even if it costs us casualties. As soon as Pakura takes action, we will immediately turn the situation on the battlefield!”

Chiyo stared for a Race: ”I hope everything will really be like this.”

Rasa noticed Chiyo's gaze but didn't react to it, instead he said: ”It's late, Elder Chiyo should rest, tomorrow take a team and launch another attack.”

”....”

Chiyo said nothing and left the tent.

Rasa looked after Chiyo as she walked away, a chill flickering in the depths of his eyes.

Among all the Kage of the five Great Villages, Rasa is considered the weakest, if not for the unexpected incident with the Third Kazekage, it would have been extremely difficult for him to take the post of the Fourth Kazekage.

Therefore, the Race must rely on certain means.

And his main means was to enter into a full-scale war with Konoha!

The so-called revenge for the murder of the Third Kazekage, was nothing more than a simple excuse, even the abundant resources of the Land of Fire were a secondary goal.

His main goal is to secure the post of Kazekage at the expense of the war!

To use this war to weaken the opposing clans and other high-ranking officials of the village, while strengthening the forces under his command, is what the Race strives for, which is why he does not care about the victims and even the outcome of the war.

According to Yeruashi, Rasa is about the same person as Danzo, but he has a worse assessment of the situation and the overall picture, in the end, Danzo's true goal was to unite the entire world of shinobi.

And what did the Race?

Without hesitation, he began a full-scale war with Konoha, severely draining the village's fighting power, in order to strengthen his position as Kazekage.

When Pakura achieved great success in the war and was recognized as a hero, Rasa immediately felt a threat to his status and neutralized her.

As a result, Rasa was infamously killed by Orochimaru.

It is safe to say that throughout history, the Fourth Kazekage did not do anything really useful for his village, he only sought to strengthen his power and status.
