Under White Fang's words, the remaining Konoha's Ninjas began to retreat.
Nearby, the continuously arriving Sunagakure's reinforcements looked at Rasa, seeking his orders.
Rasa thought for a moment, then shook his head at his subordinates, indicating to let the Konoha's Ninjas go, not to pursue.
This wasn't due to any sudden benevolence from Rasa.
But if the man before them was truly Konoha's White Fang, then they simply didn't have the luxury to pursue.
Or rather, they should be glad White Fang wasn't pursuing them with those Ninjas!
Such was White Fang's fearsome reputation!
Thus, with Rasa's tacit consent, Konoha's remnants were able to withdraw.
Rasa, along with the dozen or so elite Sunagakure's Ninjas remaining on the field, looked gravely at White Fang.
However, unexpectedly, White Fang wasn't as tense as they were.
"Relax." White Fang pressed his hands down, showing a somewhat gentle smile. "You must be very curious about my situation, right?"
"To be honest, I am ultimately a dead man. Logically, I shouldn't be involved in the affairs of the living world."
"So, let's talk, Rasa. What did they mean about Kirigakure producing a 'First Hokage-level' figure who is suffocating everyone?"
"And, Namikaze Minato... I met him before I died. He was a very promising young man. As Hokage, how could he have been nailed to our village's Hokage Rock?"
As he spoke, White Fang's expression turned serious.
Of all the things mentioned, this was the one he found most unbelievable.
Was he joking? What kind of Ninja was he? A Konoha's Ninja!
The Hokage of Konoha, silently nailed to his own village's Hokage Rock?
'Could it be that after his death, the village's power struggles had intensified again?'
But he felt that didn't make sense either!
According to the man earlier, Danzo was dead!
If Konoha's problems amounted to ten units, Danzo alone accounted for twelve, while everyone else owed him two.
With Danzo dead, where were the power struggles coming from?
White Fang was utterly perplexed.
He was also very concerned about his son, Kakashi.
Therefore, even though they were enemies, White Fang proposed a dialogue.
Hearing White Fang's words, Rasa also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, White Fang was someone even his predecessor, the Third Kazekage, couldn't claim to defeat easily.
While Rasa hadn't fought a major battle yet, he had expended a lot of Chakra, and the pressure was genuinely quite high.
"Hmm, let's discuss things one by one. Regarding some matters, our Sunagakure only knows fragments."
"But I can tell you about the Kirigakure matter. It involves a prodigy from the Yuki Clan..."
Rasa began to tell White Fang the story of Yuki Sora.
Listening to Rasa's tale, White Fang felt as if he were hearing a fantasy, finding it incredibly hard to believe!
As the conversation continued, the atmosphere on the field eased.
But unfortunately, due to the pressure White Fang brought, Rasa had clearly miscalculated something!
Before Rasa and White Fang could exchange more words.
An aged female voice, filled with deep-seated hatred, rang out!
"White Fang! You're not dead! Excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT!"
Looking at White Fang's back, at that appearance she could never forget even in death, Chiyo felt the flames of hatred, which had nowhere to go after White Fang's death and could only wither, ignite once more, burning fiercely!
Chiyo wished she could skin him alive, eat his flesh, stew his bones, and finally use his skull as a chamber pot!
So agitated that her fingers began to tremble, unable to even process why White Fang was here, Chiyo directly pulled out her ultimate trump card!
"Ebizo!" Chiyo called out, simultaneously tossing over several scrolls.
"Yes, Sister!" An equally cold male voice responded!
Ebizo caught Chiyo's scrolls. The siblings simultaneously unfurled the scrolls, each forming one-handed seals.
The next moment, two pairs of hands from different people, yet perfectly synchronized, pressed onto the scrolls!
Bang!
Thick white smoke billowed out!
Within the smoke, besides Chiyo and Ebizo, ten figures of varying shapes and sizes appeared within the gradually thinning haze!
Only then did the overlapping voices of Chiyo and Ebizo arrive.
"White Secret Technique: Chikamatsu's Ten Puppets!"
Ten puppets of various forms, clad in white robes, stood before the crowd!
"This is... the White Secret Technique: Chikamatsu's Ten Puppets!" Looking at these ten puppets, a Sunagakure's Ninja uttered in awe, "They say this is the pinnacle of puppetry. I never thought I'd see it today!"
"Indeed!" The Sunagakure's Ninjas were deeply impressed.
But this was their only chance for admiration.
Driven by the blood debt of their son and daughter-in-law, Chiyo and Ebizo had no intention of wasting words on White Fang.
As Sunagakure's top puppet masters, the two pulled their ten fingers, and the ten white-robed puppets moved as if they were living beings.
Brandishing their respective weapons, the puppets launched an assault on White Fang from all directions!
"Damn it!" Watching Chiyo and Ebizo initiate the attack, Rasa gritted his teeth in frustration, very displeased that they acted without consulting him.
However, he also knew White Fang's strength and had no choice but to join the attack now!
"Gold dust, go!"
With a wave of his hand, Rasa sent a gold dust spear shooting towards White Fang once more!
