TUS Chapter 229: Show Me the Ryo! Rasa’s Big Payday Negotiations
🕑 Added 2024-11-15 01:10:48 +0000 UTCThe Raikage looked at everyone, automatically assumed the task of temporary command, and said: "We will divide the attack into five fronts. Kumogakure will attack from…"
“Wait a minute!” Rasa interrupted in a cold voice. “Kumogakure and Iwagakure want to obtain the Rinnegan, and the Mizukage wants the Tailed Beast. So what about us, Sunagakure and the Land of Iron? Why should we get involved? What do we gain from this?”
The Raikage and the Tsuchikage were silent.
Mifune said on the side: "I think that as an alliance, we should help each other unconditionally."
Rasa sneered.
You know well that you joined only out of fear that the others would attack you, since the Land of Iron is no longer a neutral nation.
After a moment of silence, the Raikage said: "If we achieve our goal, the Rinnegan will go to whoever can obtain it."
"No, no!" Rasa replied immediately. "We in Sunagakure are not as strong as you, so we better stay out of it."
The Tsuchikage said slowly: "Kazekage, what is it that you want?"
Rasa smiled; he had been waiting for this question.
Funan had told him what to do before the meeting. He felt that Funan's words made sense.
"During the Fourth Great Shinobi War, we also lost more than a thousand people in Sunagakure, and on top of that, we must pay compensation of eighty million ryo to Konoha. We are bankrupt."
The Tsuchikage and Raikage felt their eyes go dark.
Damn, money again!
Rasa looked at the two with a smile and said: "The compensation to Konoha will have to be covered by you. In addition, you will pay the pensions of the families of the more than a thousand fallen Suna-nin, well let's round it up to two thousand."
The Raikage looked at Rasa angrily and said: "Kazekage, is this your sincerity?"
Rasa didn't care at all and said lightly: "If you give us the money, I will send a unit of Suna-nin to attack Amegakure from the flank and help distract their forces."
The Tsuchikage couldn't help it and said: "Are you implying that you might not even attack Amegakure?"
Rasa still didn't care and said: "Does it make a difference? If we can keep a good part of their forces busy, isn't that enough?"
The Tsuchikage and the Raikage wanted to curse.
According to that bastard's plan, he will most likely do nothing and still keep the money.
Is he really Rasa?
"What? Do you disagree?" Rasa asked, smiling nonchalantly as he looked at the others. He wasn't worried that they would refuse, because he had nothing to lose.
If they don't agree, he'll go home and do what he has to do.
The Tsuchikage and the Raikage looked at each other. They wanted to leave Suna out of the alliance. However, according to Deidara's information, every member of Akatsuki was a formidable combatant.
If Uchiha Funan was not so unserious, they would want to pull the other party into the alliance.
If they gave up on Suna, they would only have the half-crippled Kirigakure, and the Land of Iron as helpers. And if they failed, the losses would be catastrophic.
At this critical moment, it is necessary to fight for any power.
The two made a decision quickly.
They rolled up their sleeves and prepared to negotiate with Rasa.
The two shinobi villages are in a bad state now, and they really can't afford too much money.
Rasa also did not insist on a fixed amount. He just wanted to get paid for participating.
Without risks, anyone who wouldn't accept would be crazy.
Finally, the two agreed to give Rasa fifty million ryo. In exchange, Suna would send an army of five thousand shinobi, led by Rasa, to confront Amegakure.
As for the Akatsuki's combat power that Rasa could attract was no longer his problem.
Rasa was very satisfied with this price, but the eyes of the Tsuchikage and the Raikage began to turn red.
Going bankrupt!
After obtaining the Rinnegan, it would take years to recover.
By then, even if Uchiha Funan stepped on their faces with his feet, they would definitely not fight.
That day, the alliance negotiations were... quite pleasant.
...At least, in Rasa's opinion.
As for Mifune...
God have mercy on him, he wanted a beast with a tail at least, but he never dared to ask for it.
With a huge hand of cards that he had played horribly wrong, he now only wanted to maintain a cordial relationship with the other shinobi villages and avoid causing any trouble.
Therefore, Mifune generously declared that the Land of Iron would send three thousand samurai and also support Kumogakure and Iwagakure with ten million ryo each.
Suddenly, the Tsuchikage and Raikage looked at him with different expressions.
Instead, Mei was annoyed.
Unfortunately, Mifune didn't care much about the current Kirigakure.
Terumi Mei was so angry that she sat there sulking...
After the meeting, Rasa quickly returned to her room.
One of Funan's clones was already waiting for him.
"And that's all?" Hearing the terms of the negotiation, Funan couldn't help but feel great disappointment.
Since they tried so hard to hide the meeting, Funan thought they had some surprising plan, and it might even involve Konoha.
But in the end, it was the same old pattern.
It was just a three-pronged attack.
The main force is naturally the Raikage and the Tsuchikage.
Then, Rasa helped to stare in one direction.
Terumi Mei looked in another direction.
And the samurai would go with the Raikage and the Tsuchikage.
They will just be cannon fodder. What's wrong with Mifune?
Funan was puzzled.
In the original work, Mifune looked quite smart, although he was very biased.
But now that he saw him in person, Mifune seemed completely useless.
Funan shook his head.
Distance creates idealization.
"Okay, if they want to attack, let them attack!" Funan didn't care and said: "After Pain teaches them a lesson, they will be honest."
Rasa reminded: "My lord, the Raikage and the Tsuchikage have made a great determination this time. Are you sure nothing will happen? What if Amegakure can't hold on, the Rinnegan..."
"It will not fall." Funan replied confidently. "We must have faith in our enemies."
"But the Raikage and the Tsuchikage are also our enemies."
Funan was choked again.
Why did everyone around him become so bold after a while?
...
The first to move was Suna.
Rasa showed that they had a real 'will to cooperate'. They had received the money, and, like good mercenaries, they wanted to satisfy the client so that they would be hired again.
Five thousand Suna-nin went into action that day and, led by Rasa, reached one of Amegakure's defensive lines.
Pain also acted quickly and mobilized three thousand Ame-nin.
There were no more shinobi available in Amegakure.
The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled cannot be counted.
After receiving this news, Funan couldn't help but think of what Naruto said to Nagato in the original work.
"Believe me, I will definitely bring...destruction to Amegakure!"
Naruto's mouth is indeed powerful. There is no one he can't convince, but it's unknown how many of the things he promised to others can be fulfilled.
Funan shook his head again.
One should never place hope in others!
Funan turned his gaze back to the reports in front of him.
Rasa led the Suna-nin, and a powerful opponent appeared on the side of Amegakure.
Konan!
Not only was she there, there was also Biwa Juzo and Black Zetsu.
Funan was very surprised by this combination.
On another battlefront, Terumi Mei led three thousand Kiri-nin.
Sasori, Deidara, and a full three thousand White Zetsu.
White Zetsu appeared on the field for the first time.
Funan stood up all of a sudden.
He really couldn't sit still.
For Uchiha Funan, White Zetsu was the biggest tonic.
"If..." Funan muttered. "If I devour these three thousand white Zetsu, will I be able to upgrade my dojutsu to the Rinnegan?"
Funan checked his fruits.
LV-4 (Fire Release)
LV-6 (Dojutsu)
LV-5 (Senjutsu)
If I devoured the White Zetsu… LV-7 or even LV-8 would be waiting for me. There has never been a moment when Uchiha Madara's realm is so close to me.
"No, don't be impatient!" Funan sat down slowly. "I can't be anxious. Three thousand White Zetsu, what's that? There are still 100,000 White Zetsu waiting for me!"
"What I want is not only Madara's level, but Kaguya's, and even surpass Kaguya."
But… with the White Zetsu at hand, how could he pass up this opportunity?
"And just right it is Terumi Mei!" Funan frowned.
If it were Rasa, everything would be simple.
Mei is not so obedient.
After thinking for a long time, Funan called his guards.
"Tetsuhi, I have something to entrust to you now!"
"Please give me your orders!" Tetsuhi was shocked. Funan rarely spoke to him in such a serious tone.
"Kirigakure and Amegakure are fighting." Funan took out a report and handed it over. "Amegakure is using White Zetsu."
"White Zetsu?"
"Yes, they are beings that look like humans." Funan said with barely contained enthusiasm. "Three thousand White Zetsu, Tetsuhi, the White Zetsu are extremely important to me!"
"I understand!" Tetsuhi's expression became firm.
What Funan wanted was the most important thing to him, even if it meant his life.
After so many years, Funan's pupil power had already penetrated into the depths of Tetsuhi's soul.
Funan has long been Tetsuhi's belief.
