Chapter 838
Chapter 833 Deal with it Locally!
"This is Aura. Pay attention to your words from now on."
Crocodile saw that it was enough and slowly withdrew the Conqueror's Haki he had recently mastered.
He casually took out a Cigar, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a Lighter. Immediately, a point of Aura appeared.
"Hmph—the position of Fukurokuju, This King does not need it. Because this Land of Wind is the Nation I founded back then. Later, This King will go and make the current Daimyo abdicate."
He exhaled a long stream of White Smoke, looking down at the startled Rasa and the others. "This King has come here this time for two reasons: first, to meet you, and second, to tell you to prepare."
"Pre... Prepare for what?"
Chiyo asked softly, full of surprise and uncertainty.
"Select a new Fukurokuju as soon as possible and prepare to launch a War of Conquest against the outside world."
Crocodile said indifferently with his Magnetic Voice, "From now on... you will be This King's Subordinates. Do you understand?"
Based on the Intelligence provided by the World Government, he already had a certain understanding of the Class hierarchy and Political System of this Ninja World.
Other Admirals might not be interested in these things.
But he was different.
So he directly set his Target on the Daimyo of the Land of Wind.
Because he noticed that the Daimyo in this Ninja World had a strange influence over the Ninja Villages, he decided to deal with the Daimyo of this Nation in a reasonable and legitimate manner first.
Then, using the entire Land of Wind and Sunagakure as the main body, he would stir up an Internal War in the Ninja World.
This way, the World Government wouldn't need to rush in a Large Force.
Military Strength.
He, Crocodile, had already dealt with it locally!
"..."
The Scene fell into silence. The Sunagakure Elders exchanged glances.
This was understandable. After all, they had only known him for a few minutes. How could they possibly submit based on just a few words?
Ninjas themselves were a suspicious profession.
"Lord Crocodile... Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we understand your meaning, but some Matters cannot be convincing with just words."
It was Rasa who spoke first, breaking the awkwardness.
"So?"
Crocodile's Gaze revealed a playful Gaze.
"So, would you be willing to Spar with me in front of the Village Elders and Jonin? If you win, Sunagakure will naturally submit." Rasa said with a calm Expression.
Although he had personally witnessed the Third Raikage being defeated by the opponent, there were some things you couldn't accept without a fight.
Moreover, in this Desert, he felt he also had the Strength to defeat the Third Raikage.
It would just take longer, and as long as the opponent didn't run out of Stamina, they could escape at any Time.
"Then, may this old woman also join?"
At this moment, Chiyo suddenly spoke, which surprised the others. Ebizo looked at her in confusion, "Sister?"
"This old woman is just thinking, Your Majesty Crocodile, if you are truly Strong enough to defeat the Team Up of me and Rasa, then Sunagakure will have the confidence to Conquer the Ninja World under your leadership!"
Chiyo ignored her brother.
Instead, she looked up with burning Gaze at Crocodile, who was overly tall for her. The latter, upon hearing this, threw his head back and laughed heartily, still with that peculiar Asthmatic laughter.
"Ha—Ha—Ha————"
"It seems things are getting interesting. This truly makes my Blood Boiling again. However, if all you can do is manipulate some Puppetry, then forget it, it's meaningless."
After speaking, Crocodile ignored Chiyo, whose Expression had turned unpleasant, and turned his Gaze to Rasa. "You're not bad. If you perform well, the next Fukurokuju will be you."
His Attitude was as if he was already the Master of the Land of Wind, appointing the Candidate for Fukurokuju of Sunagakure from a high position.
"Then thank you, Your Majesty. How about we go outside the Village now?"
Rasa nodded slightly.
He just wanted Crocodile to leave the Village quickly now.
Just the fact that the opponent was standing here gave him a sense of Unease, as if the entire Sunagakure was being held hostage.
He believed the opponent was fully capable of manipulating the surging Sandstorm in the Heaven and Earth to destroy the entire Sunagakure in one fell swoop.
"Lead the way. You choose the Court. As for the Time, I'll give you five minutes. Don't think it's too little. I only gave the previous Raikage three minutes~"
Crocodile said with a grin, his Smoking Cigar dangling from his mouth.
As expected.
As soon as these words were spoken, Rasa and the Elders behind him felt a chill in their Hearts.
The Third Raikage had only lasted three minutes against the opponent, and that was because the opponent had given him three minutes!
"Alright."
Rasa gave Crocodile a deep look. The next moment, a wisp of Gold Sand rose around his Body, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.
"Interesting, a combination of Illusion and High-Speed Movement..."
Crocodile didn't rush to follow. For a moment, he had thought Rasa also had an Ability similar to Element Transformation, turning into a mass of Gold Sand to leave.
But then his Observation Haki's Sensory Ability told him.
Rasa's Aura had neither swelled nor dispersed. He was simply running towards the outside of the Village using only his two legs.
And that was indeed the Fact.
He had merely used Gold Sand to obscure himself at the start, and then used Body Flicker Technique to burst Speed. Or rather, most Body Flicker Techniques were similar.
At most, depending on the Situation, some people might add an Invisibility Technique, Transformation Technique, Clone Jutsu, or something similar.
If Combat wasn't needed, then naturally nothing was required. They could just burst Chakra in their feet and use Body Flicker Technique to leave.
Of course.
There were also some people who liked Special Effects...
Soon, Crocodile once again transformed into a mass of Yellow Sand and disappeared.
His was the true Element Transformation movement, and it was the main reason he could so easily bypass the multiple Defense Lines of the Sand Hidden Ninja and enter the Village silently.
Not only could he fly at High Altitude, but a mass of Sandstorm basically looked no different from being Invisible.
Not to mention this was the Land of Wind.
"Let's go!"
Chiyo, with an unpleasant Expression, forced down the Rage of being looked down upon and was the first to leap towards the Direction Rasa had left.
At the same time, she pondered the Scene of Crocodile's disappearance just now in her Heart.
"It wasn't Sand Body Flicker. Could it be that he has the Ability to turn his Body into real Sand, like the Hozuki Clan from Kirigakure?"
She recalled.
Rasa, and the Jonin who returned with him, had said that the Lightning Release of the Cloud Hidden Ninjas seemed unable to dispel the large-scale Sand Release Ninjutsu the opponent used.
So how should they deal with him?
Poison?
Would it work?
Good heavens, perhaps it was out of Habit, but Chiyo was actually thinking about how to deal with Crocodile while seeing him as the Hope for revenge...
Meanwhile.
Ebizo was quickly leaping between Rooftops with the others, when he suddenly noticed the Sandstorm in the Village starting to slow down.
Looking up again.
Indeed, the Yellow Sand in the sky was also visibly dissipating.
This made him even more Startled by Crocodile's Strength. Just this masterful level of Sand Manipulation was enough to earn him the Epithet of 'King of the Desert'.
Meanwhile.
Rasa had already arrived at the Barren Desert about two kilometers away from Sunagakure. He had originally intended to run further, but unexpectedly, Crocodile's Voice suddenly rang in his ear.
"Here is fine."
This made Rasa unable to help but complain in his Heart, "Didn't we agree that I would choose the Location?"
However, with his Personality, he naturally wouldn't say his thoughts out loud.
Immediately, his Body, surrounded by wisps of Gold Sand, quickly stopped. Under the illumination of the Scorching Sun overhead, he reappeared, glistening with Golden Light. This Scene indeed looked beautiful.
No wonder so many Ninjas liked to add all sorts of Special Effects to themselves when appearing or leaving.
Meanwhile.
A mass of Yellow Sand also converged fifty meters away. In the blink of an eye, Crocodile appeared, his Smoking Cigar dangling from his mouth. His face still wore that Annoying Smile.
"Let's begin, the next Fukurokuju under This King's command. Oh, what was your name again?"
"Rasa!"
