The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 659 Self-righteousness

Previously, in order to alleviate the severe pain that Luo Sha was suffering from, he was sprayed with a highly effective painkiller.

After the initial torment of intense pain, the medicine gradually took effect, and Rosa slowly lost her sensation and feeling on her skin.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and finally resume normal verbal communication.

However, when he looked around and saw the village that had been destroyed beyond recognition and was in a terrible state, he couldn't help but feel a sense of shame and helplessness.

In the end, all he could explain was:

"I was careless for a moment and accidentally fell asleep, which gave Shukaku an opportunity to break into my consciousness and take control of my body."

Upon hearing this, Ye Cang merely sneered, but said nothing more.

Immediately afterwards, she turned to the medical ninjas around her who were preparing to lift Rasa onto a stretcher and gave them instructions:

"You don't need to use too many precious drugs to treat this Jinchūriki. He has a strong self-healing ability. Just add some painkillers as needed."

The medical ninja respectfully replied, "Yes, Lord Kazekage, I understand."

Feng Ying, expressionless, gave the order: "Then hurry up and do the cleanup work. Everyone else, disperse."

At Fengying's command, everyone began to move, and the crowd that had been gathered together gradually dispersed.

However, at that moment, the three Jonin who had just been responsible for distracting Shukaku did not leave immediately, but instead huddled together and whispered something.

One of the Jonin lowered his voice and said:

"Even the previous Kazekage is inferior to Gaara."

Another Jonin immediately chimed in:

"That's right, I really don't know where he gets the nerve to go around bragging about how great he is."

The third Jonin quickly reminded them:

"Shh, you two keep your voices down, don't let him hear you."

However, the first Jonin to speak didn't seem to care; instead, he raised his voice.

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm just stating the facts. He's a complete and utter loser, so what if he hears me?"

The second Jonin chimed in:

"That's right. When Gaara goes berserk, he can be brought under control quickly, but once he goes berserk, it takes a lot of manpower and resources to calm him down. And last time, even Minamikawa unfortunately died under his berserk attack."

At this point, the three of them fell silent for a moment, clearly feeling deep regret over Nanchuan's death.

"He can't be a Jinchūriki but insists on being strong. He really thinks he's invincible. In reality, he's just a failure..."

Although Rasa was some distance away from the three people, as a powerful Jinchūriki, his keen senses still allowed him to clearly perceive their words.

Faced with such merciless accusations and belittling, Luo Sha was filled with helplessness and pain.

Because he knew that Nanchuan had indeed lost his life because of his first rampage, an undeniable fact.

So at this moment, he couldn't even find a reason or excuse to argue, and could only silently endure it all.

Although Luo Sha's excruciating pain gradually subsided, the sense of shame in his heart surged like a tidal wave, one wave higher than the next.

When everyone captured Shukaku and discussed who should become the jinchūriki, Rasa did not hesitate to express his willingness to take on this arduous mission.

Since he stepped down as the Kazekage of Sunagakure, his life has become increasingly carefree and comfortable.

It should be noted that only he possesses the unique ability to pan for gold from sand, something that no one else can match.

Therefore, every word Luo Sha said still carries significant weight in the village.

Moreover, Rasa himself was already quite powerful.

With his mastery of Magnet Release, if he could cooperate with Shukaku, their overall strength would undoubtedly experience a qualitative leap.

Based on these factors, everyone ultimately agreed to Luo Sha's request.

At this moment, Rasa was filled with resentment, thinking that once he had fully mastered the power of Shukaku, he would regain the power he had lost and even carry out a crazy revenge against Konoha.

Just like Yagura Karatachi, I want to be a perfect Jinchūriki!

In his eyes, the elderly monk who shared the blessing back then could easily suppress Shukaku, and there had never been any mistakes in decades.

With my abilities, achieving this is naturally not a problem.

As for Gaara, Rasa always thought he was a complete failure, unable to effectively suppress Shukaku, which he considered normal.

Unexpectedly, ever since Shukaku was sealed inside him, he has been suffering from endless insomnia, and even a moment of rest has become a luxury.

The sealed Shukaku was like a deranged psychopath, constantly spewing nonsense at his body.

What's worse is that these words are always the same few phrases over and over again, which is extremely annoying.

Because the voice was transmitted directly through the mind, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop it from entering his mind.

In just a few days, due to severe lack of sleep, Luo Sha developed dark circles around his eyes, as dark as ink.

His mental state became extremely exhausted, and his thinking and reaction speed were several times slower than before.

At first, Rasa naively thought that this situation was just a temporary discomfort caused by sealing Shukaku into his body.

As long as you put in the hard work, you will eventually be able to subdue this unruly tailed beast.

However, reality dealt him a cruel blow.

Not only is it impossible to communicate effectively with Shukaku, but even getting him to sleep peacefully has become an unattainable fantasy.

If Rasa closes his eyes for more than twenty minutes, Shukaku will seize the opportunity to take control of his body.

When this happens, in Rasa's case, it manifests as an unpredictable berserk rage.

He would go on a rampage, destroying buildings in Sunagakure and mercilessly killing anyone he encountered.

It's important to understand that anyone who suffers from chronic insomnia will inevitably experience immense mental stress.

The prolonged lack of sleep left him physically and mentally exhausted, making him extremely irritable and depressed.

These two extreme emotions played out in his life like a stage play, and gradually, his original personality began to become distorted.

Finally, on the seventh day after being sealed inside Shukaku, Rasa dozed off for a moment and then fell into a deep sleep as if he had fallen into an abyss.

At that very moment, Shukaku, which had been sealed away for a long time, seized the opportunity to break free and instantly entered a berserk state!

Because Rasa had previously assured everyone that he would not cause any problems, Sunagakure's defenses against this incident were severely inadequate.

As expected, Jonin Minami and two other Chunin perished in the fierce battle with Shukaku.

Not only that, but more than twenty innocent civilians also died tragically under Shukaku's ferocious attacks.

The casualties and other losses are enormous.
