Chapter 79: Sand Shinobi's Strongest Lineup
Both the Hokage and the Kazekage were stunned.
The other ninjas were confused. What was wrong?
Just as people stepped forward to see what Rasa was holding, the Fourth Kazekage suddenly raised his head and smiled.
"Hmph! People from the Otherworld! You want to take the One Tail?"
"Then try it! Let's see how you snatch it from my Sunagakure!"
As he spoke, Rasa tapped the screen in his hand a few times.
Simultaneously, for everyone watching the Sunagakure broadcast, the screen shifted.
[Candidates for S-Class Combat Power of the Defenders]
[Sunagakure: Fourth Kazekage, Rasa]
The picture showed Rasa's figure.
He folded his arms across his chest and stared coldly ahead, while the Gold Dust behind him surged like a stormy sea. With a wave of his hand, the Gold Dust covered the sky and the sun.
There was no need for much introduction; Rasa's strength was clearly recognized by the people of the Pirate World.
[Kazekage: Leader of the Sunagakure ninjas in the Land of Wind, one of the Five Great Ninja Nations.]
[The person given the title of 'Kage' is the highest leader of the Ninja Village and the most powerful ninja.]
[The five leaders of the Great Nations—Fire, Wind, Earth, Lightning, and Water—are collectively called the Five Kages.]
[It can be said that the Five Kages are nominally the five strongest ninjas in the world.]
Seeing the introduction, the people in the Pirate World didn't pay much attention. The previous Hokage had been easily defeated by Yuichi.
What Kage?
The strongest is nothing more than that.
[Second Candidate for S-Class Combat Power of the Defenders]
[Sunagakure: Third Kazekage (The Strongest Kazekage in History)]
A black-haired man appeared in the picture, his face indifferent.
He was surrounded by strange Iron Sand. Its speed and power were incomparable to the Fourth Generation's Gold Dust. Although it didn't cover the sky like Rasa's, the surging speed of the black sand left people dumbfounded.
The appearance of the Third Kazekage left the Sand Shinobi at a loss.
"Didn't the Third Generation die a long time ago... how can he be here?"
"Wait, Konoha's Fourth Hokage appeared before too. If Lord Third Kazekage can appear, there shouldn't be a problem!"
"The Third and the Fourth! Great! The enemy will never take the One Tail!"
[Third Candidate for S-Class Combat Power of the Defenders]
The third?
Is it the Second Generation or the First Generation?
The Sand Shinobi were getting excited. Three Kazekages appearing in Sunagakure at the same time!
With such a lineup, Sunagakure—which had been struggling to survive in the cracks between great nations and was often called the weakest of the Five—had never fought such a rich battle.
Who would the third be?
[Sunagakure: Fifth Kazekage, Gaara of the Sand]
Boom!
The Sand Shinobi held their breath.
The Fifth Generation?
Since the Fourth Generation wasn't dead yet, so this had to be from the future. Naturally, having a Fifth Generation meant the village wouldn't be destroyed.
However, when the name "Gaara" appeared, all the Sand Shinobi were stunned.
"How is it possible... The Fifth Kazekage... how could it be that monster!?"
"That monster becomes our Fifth Kazekage?"
Even ninjas from other villages found it strange. Gaara, the One Tail Jinchūriki, was known even in small villages. A Jinchūriki becoming a Kage was extremely rare.
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Rasa. Didn't the Jinchūriki raised by this guy always hate the people of the Sand Village?
According to Hiruzen's intelligence, Gaara was a cruel and ruthless ninja. Even if the Sand elders lost their minds, they wouldn't let such a ninja become the Kage—unless they wanted the village to be destroyed.
Immediately, the figure of Gaara appeared on the screen.
It was an adult Gaara. He had lost the power of the One Tail, but he didn't need to spend Chakra suppressing the beast anymore. His strength had not decreased; it had increased.
In the picture, Gaara's sand poured into the sky.
A huge meteorite was falling.
It looked like he intended to catch the meteorite with his sand!
This scene was strange to people in both worlds, but Yuichi recognized it immediately. This was clearly the Fourth Great Ninja War—the scene where Madara Uchiha summoned Tengai Shinsei to bomb the Allied Shinobi Forces.
However, Madara wasn't shown, nor was the Third Tsuchikage using his technique to lighten the rock. The system avoided revealing too much of the future.
But even this fragment was enough to scare the ninjas silly.
The sand rushing into the sky actually... caught the meteorite.
There was a roar.
This scene shocked not only the ninjas but also the Five Kages.
Zooming out, one could clearly see how massive the meteorite was. Its weight and impact were unimaginable. Yet, Gaara caught it.
Is that Jinchūriki kid so fierce?
The person most surprised was Gaara himself.
Looking at the indifferent eyes in the picture, devoid of murderous intent, he saw a completely different person.
At the same time, Gaara saw what he had been longing for in his future self's eyes.
Love.
From the love of others, he seemed to have obtained what he longed for. Otherwise, he wouldn't do such a thing. Just dodging the meteorite would be easy—why block it?
There must be many people below who love me!
Gaara laughed.
Beside him, Temari and Kankuro stared at their scary little brother with wide eyes. It was hard to imagine he would become such a powerful existence.
The Fifth Kazekage... seemed to be the true Strongest Kazekage in history!
The screen disappeared, followed by the ecstatic cheers of the Ninja World.
"Too strong! Fifth Kazekage Gaara can even catch meteorites!"
"The Fifth Generation is amazing! With three Kazekages playing at the same time, those guys will never take the One Tail!"
In Konoha Village, Rasa showed the smile of a proud old father. Gaara... you really didn't let me down.
