Chapter 549 Stubborn Rasa
Chapter 549 Stubborn Rasa
The two-hundred-meter-tall Susanoo in its warrior form could kill Sunagakure like mowing grass.
As long as these Sand Village ninjas stand a little closer together, the Thousand Blades' giant sword, hundreds of meters long, can be swung around at will.
These people will be cut down in droves like leeks.
Faced with such terrifying power, no matter who is in command, the final outcome will likely be similar.
The other elders made a commotion for a while, then looked at each other, unable to find any reason to criticize Luo Sha.
Because what Luo Sha said was true.
While most people agree with this statement, this does not include those who experienced the war firsthand.
Among the people sitting below, there was one who was not convinced.
—Ye Cang.
She shouted indignantly:
"Then how do you explain it, Lord Kazekage, that you ultimately commanded us to go and die?"
Then, she continued her accusations:
"If we had all acted separately, more people would have been able to return alive."
"But in the end, Lord Kazekage insisted on bringing us together, resulting in the needless sacrifice of so many comrades!"
In fact, because Yekura hesitated after receiving the news, she arrived relatively slowly.
By the time she finally finished gathering everyone, Qianyao had already flown over on the war god Susanoo.
Faced with this situation, Ye Cang did not hesitate at all and led the people around her to quickly turn around and leave.
This is what allowed her and a few others with her to survive.
At this moment, Luo Sha slowly stood up, his voice cold and devoid of any emotion, and coldly stated:
"My final order to gather you all together was not to send you to your deaths in vain."
After a brief pause, he continued:
"Instead, they intend to use you as bait to lure Uchiha Chiyo into a trap!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Cang's face instantly turned extremely ugly. Her eyes widened, and she questioned incredulously:
"They actually used all of our lives as bait?!"
The other elders present were equally astonished, and the entire scene erupted in an uproar.
Someone couldn't help but curse, "This is absolutely outrageous!"
Another person angrily roared at Luo Sha:
"Luo Sha, have you gone mad?!"
Some people even questioned the situation with great emotion:
"Why must we use our own lives as bait?! Do you really think you can kill Uchiha Chiyo this way?!"
As the elders' accusations against Luo Sha grew louder, the entire conference room instantly became incredibly noisy, resembling a bustling marketplace.
The various noises intertwined, making one's ears ring.
Just then, Luo Sha slammed his hand on the table and shouted in a deafening voice:
"But Uchiha Chiyo is dead!!!"
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the meeting room, instantly silencing the previously noisy atmosphere.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden news.
However, after a brief silence, the conference room instantly boiled over like a pot of hot oil that had been poured with cold water.
"Whoosh..."
A chorus of exclamations and skepticism erupted.
"How is that possible!?"
Someone shouted incredulously.
"What makes you think you can kill Uchiha Chiyo?"
Another person questioned him with a suspicious look. Someone else shouted impatiently:
"If Uchiha Chiyo could be defeated so easily, why did we lose so many men before?"
In an instant, all sorts of questions and accusations came flooding towards Luo Sha.
Faced with the questioning of the crowd, Luo Sha remained remarkably calm and composed. He sat steadily in his chair, watching the emotionally charged people with an air of composure.
Once they had calmed down and were no longer as hysterical as before, Luo Sha spoke slowly and deliberately:
"But Uchiha Chiyo is dead."
In fact, Rasa did not understand the power of space and time at all, and in the end, he clearly saw the existence of Qianyao's clone.
But at this moment, he knew very well that if he didn't say it this way, he would definitely not be able to make amends.
Whether Qianyao is truly dead or whether he will make a comeback in the future are no longer issues to worry about at the moment.
If he can buy some time and make the village realize that without him panning for gold, the village will fall into even greater poverty, then he will have a chance to escape this calamity.
Thinking of this, Luo Sha took a deep breath and emphasized again:
"That's right, Uchiha Chiyo is indeed dead."
After saying this, he quietly observed the reactions of everyone present.
The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment, and for a moment no one dared to utter a word in rebuttal.
The entire conference room fell into an oppressive silence once again.
At this moment, everyone present, without exception, stared intently at Luo Sha.
Even Ebizo, who was just in a state of rage, seemed to be frozen in place and instantly calmed down.
In the dead silence, someone finally broke the silence and asked:
"Rasa, oh no, Kazekage, how exactly did you kill Uchiha Senyou?"
Luo Sha first coughed twice to clear his throat, and then began to tell his story.
In fact, he had already discussed the script with Machi, and now he only needed to read it verbatim.
In any case, only he and a few close confidants knew the inside story of this battle.
As for the true state of the battle, who can really know?
"After we were scattered by Uchiha Chiyo for the second time, I fell into deep thought, racking my brains to find a solution..."
Immediately afterwards, Rasa concealed the existence of Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
He cleverly claimed that his plan to defeat Qianyao by using the power of the dragon vein was entirely his own idea.
After all, he had only told Machi about this. And Machi, as his right-hand man, was the one who first came up with the idea.
The logic is simple: if Luo Sha were to meet with misfortune or become a prisoner, then Ma Ji's future would certainly not be easy either.
And so, Luo Sha embellished and vividly described the whole incident.
He claimed that he risked his own safety to bravely lure Qianyao to the core area of the dragon vein.
Then, Qianyao fell for the trap and broke the seal on the dragon vein, causing the dragon vein's power to go out of control and violently erupt, ultimately tearing it apart.
What could have been a simple event, when told by Rasa, was a complex and convoluted affair.
It seems he took a great risk and had some luck in order to accomplish this.
