By the time Soseki was officially invited, it was already the next day.

"Haha, Sōseki-dono, sorry to make you wait for a long time. Speaking of which, we were too shocked when we received the information yesterday. We really didn't expect that the truth behind the Third Kazekage's disappearance will be like this!"

Rasa said with a serious expression, "Anyway, thank you for your contribution in this incident, Sōseki-dono!"

The surrounding Jōnin started flattering him unknowingly.

"Even the Third Kazekage's puppet is no match for Sōseki-dono. It is really shocking!"

"If it weren't for Sōseki-dono's help, Nakayo, Pakura and the others might not be able to return!"

"I really envy Konoha for having such a genius like Sōseki-dono!"

"Although Sasori of the Red Sand is our Sunagakure's rarely seen genius, but compared with Sōseki-dono, he is too far behind!"

Seeing this, Sōseki thought his heart, 'No wonder they have to wait until today to formally invite him. Most likely, they had been practicing their lines yesterday.'

'Well, it's hard to say these things without being embarrassed!'

Thinking of this, Sōseki smiled "humbly", "Kazekage-sama and all senpai is praising me too much, I just did something within my power."

'Something within your power…' Everyone showed subtle change in their expressions, 'With your strength, it seems that there is nothing that can't be "reached" in the entire Shinobi World, right?'

Rasa looked calm, "Sōseki's humility really makes us ashamed. By the way, I wonder what the final outcome of yesterday's battle was?"

Sōseki sighed and said, "I originally had the opportunity to kill him, but he threatened me with Pakura-dono's safety. And by the time I reacted, he had already gotten onto the Third Kazekage's puppet and flew away."

'To actually use the body of Kazekage-sama as a mount...' Everyone felt another humiliation and anger, and then they looked at Sōseki in front of them and became even more depressed.

'They are both geniuses, but why is the difference so big?'

Rasa took a deep breath and asked again, "Sōseki, I heard from Nakayo and the others that you used a super-wide range sensing Senjutsu yesterday. Could you please help us find Sasori again and cooperate with our strength to kill him?"

Sōseki frowned and said, "Let's not talk about whether Sasori will stay in the desert and wait for us to kill him. The most important question is, have you thought about how are you going to deal with him, Kazekage-sama?"

"Of course with my Magnet Release!" Rasa said confidently, "Although I don't know how he killed the Third Kazekage, there is absolutely no problem with the Magnet Release restraining puppet! Even the puppet of the Third Kazekage can be easily restrained by me as it is just a puppet!"

"But, what about his poison?" Sōseki asked. "Although his poison is ineffective to me, it is quite deadly to most Shinobi. If he is forced into a corner, our side will also suffer a lot of damage!"

"This... I..."

Of course, Rasa wasn't serious about this. How could a rational (weakling), and intellectual (undecisive) man like him do such thing on impulse?

Therefore, Rasa frowns frowned and thought for a moment before changing the topic "unwillingly", "Since there is no way to deal with Sasori for the time being, I'll have to trouble Sōseki-dono to help us keep this secret. If the villagers know about that person who killed the Third Kazekage is still alive, they will definitely fall into panic."

"I just used this reason to explain to Hokage-sama why your village was unwilling to send troops..." Sōseki said as he spread his hands helplessly, "So, Kazekage-sama, you seem to be saying it too late."

Rasa's expression turned ugly upon hearing this, "Didn't I already say that our Sunagakure weak in strength because of our long battle lines, and we only have enough manpower to defend ourselves, so we are unable to counterattack?"

Sōseki decisively threw the blame, "But Hokage-sama doesn't believe it, but with this reason, Hokage-sama immediately believes it."

"Otherwise, should I send information to Hokage-sama now, and ask him not to spread out this news?"

Everyone's expression became as uncomfortable as if they have eaten a fly. They still don't understand that Sōseki already saw through their concerns and did this on purpose.

They were also very depressed in their hearts. They actually discovered their Sunagakure's scandal in a random joint mission. If they didn't know that Sōseki and Sasori never met before, and Sōseki also destroyed a lot of Sasori's puppets this time, they would suspect that Sōseki is coming here for the Third Kazekage's matter.

Rasa took a deep breath and said, "Just say it, how can you guys be willing to keep this as secret?"

Sōseki smiled and said, "In fact, we only have one request from beginning to the end. That is, we hope that Sunagakure will send troops!"

Rasa squinted his eyes, "Is that a threat?"

"Of course not. To be able to create such a large foundation in such a difficult area, it can be seen that Sunagakure's Shinobi are all have iron-backbones, and they will definitely not compromise just because of some threats!" Sōseki flattered a little.

Hearing Sōseki said so, Rasa's expression became better.

"Then what do you mean? Anyway, our Sunagakure won't..."

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse." Sōseki said with a smile, "Although Sunagakure's Shinobi grew up in such a difficult environment, no one would refuse better conditions, otherwise, Sunagakure would not fight with Konoha in the first two wars."

Hearing Sōseki mentioned the first two Shinobi World Wars, the Sunagakure's people looked melancholy.

Their Sunagakure was defeated in the first two wars and they became poorer and poorer, so this time, they were very hesitant.

"Since you have failed twice in a row, why not change to a better target?" Sōseki bewitched, "Although the territory of the Land of Earth is not as good as our Land of Fire's, it should be much better than the Land of Wind, right?"

Everyone was a little moved. They actually had considered this issue, but they all gave up because of some concerns.

Therefore, a Jōnin asked, "Are you really willing to give us the territory you've conquered?"

Sōseki smiled and said, "Although it is a bit rude to say that, but really don't think much of the territory of the Land of Earth."

To be able to make such a promise, he naturally has already got the permission from Sandaime.

Compared with hatred, the entanglement of interests is more realistic.

Sunagakure's people were in a complicated mood, as the fertile land they coveted is something that others don't really care about.

This feeling is like picking up the trash that Konoha throws in the trash can.

Of course, if they were asked if they want it, they definitely want it.

So, all Sunagakure's people said with stern faces:

"I'm so sorry."

"I'm useless!"

"That, let's divide the territory we've won equally?"

As for the small countries sandwiched between the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, they have selectively ignored them.

Rasa was still a little hesitant, "It is good that we win the war, but what if we lose?"

The Sunagakure's people were moved by the shameless spirit of their Kazekage, 'For Sunagakure, Kazekage-sama really worked hard!'

Sōseki then said resolutely, "On this point, I can only make a promise personally."

"Personally?" Rasa was shocked, 'Could it be that Sōseki also planned to work like him to subsidize the village?'

'Speaking of which, as the inventor of the medical scroll, he seems to be very rich, and this time, we have to pay him a large amount of compensation for the mission. Sure enough, for a top Medical-nin like him, earning money is faster than robbing money!' Thinking of this, Rasa couldn't help but send out some signals with his eyes.

Sōseki didn't know what Rasa was thinking, and just said seriously, "Since the Chunin Exams two years ago, I have been consciously deducing the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai. Although I didn't succeed, I think there is still hope."

"If I succeed in developing it, I will help Sunagakure to green the desert!"

Hearing Sōseki's weird thought, everyone was stunned.

'Using Wood Release to green the desert, is he joking?'

But as soon as this idea came to mind, they immediately denied it.

Not to mention how rare Shōdaime Hokage's power that can calm the Warring States Period is, even with Wood Release, it is useless without a strong user.

Therefore, all of the Jōnin just laughed perfunctorily.

Only Rasa, with the thought of agreeing to not suffer any loss, said with a smile, "That's good enough!"
