Ryuchi Cave
In a dark cave.
Following the report from Tagorihime, Rasa once again met the White Snake Sage.
"Kazekage, I wonder what you want to see me for. Are you ready to accept the conditions I proposed earlier, and use your special power to turn the natural energy of our Ryuchi Cave into Sage chakra?"
Rasa shook his head, but still explained.
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to refuse, but I have always believed that transactions should be conducted on the basis of equal strength between both parties."
The White Snake Sage didn't show any dissatisfaction, but instead asked.
"Oh, is Kazekage not satisfied with your current strength? I saw that even the Five-Tails and Four-Tails were easily sealed by you!"
"No... For me, among all the Tailed Beasts, only the Nine-Tails' power is worth my attention."
After all, that's a being who can take on seven opponents with just half of the Nine-Tails.
The White Snake Sage nodded in agreement.
"So, what do you want from me?"
Rasa directly asked without being polite.
"I want to ask a question. I want to do something, but I don't want the Sage of the Six Paths to sense it. Is there any way?"
The White Snake Sage's eyes lit up, and immediately understanding Rasa's meaning, asked.
"You want to attack the Tailed Beasts?"
Rasa didn't deny it.
"What, does the White Snake Sage think it's not possible?"
The White Snake Sage finally seemed a bit more energetic and asked.
"From my standpoint, of course I have no objections, but I don't recommend you do this."
"Why?"
"It's very simple. Ever since Hagoromo Otsutsuki replaced his mother and became the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, and transmitted chakra to this world through the Ninshu, as the owner of this chakra, Hagoromo Otsutsuki can observe any place in this world where chakra exists."
"So, he can't observe places without chakra?"
"Theoretically, that's the case, but it's difficult to achieve. Take you as an example. Although there is no chakra in your body now, Hagoromo Otsutsuki cannot observe this world through you, but he can observe your every move through the chakra around you, your relatives, subordinates, and even ninja tools with chakra. If you want to attack the Tailed Beasts, even if you can bring them to a space without chakra, he can still know what you are doing through the Tailed Beasts' chakra."
Rasa frowned tightly.
"Is there really no way?"
The White Snake Sage pondered for a while.
"It's not entirely impossible, unless your power in space-time surpasses Hagoromo Otsutsuki and you can create a world where chakra cannot reach."
"Is there a way?"
At this moment, the White Snake Sage's eyes looked at Rasa.
"A way, of course there is. Don't forget what I once told you about my abilities."
Rasa immediately remembered that the White Snake Sage had said that its best ability was creating spaces.
In the past, Rasa would naturally have hesitated a bit, but after interacting with Ryuchi Cave until now, the other party had shown enough goodwill. If he was still too suspicious now, it would indeed be a bit ungrateful.
"Of course I remember, please enlighten me, White Snake Sage!"
"It's very simple, the key lies in the Dragon Transformation Technique. Our Ryuchi Cave's Dragon Transformation Technique can evolve the power of practitioners and grant them new power. There are two ways to obtain new power. One is through self-evolution, but such evolution is unknown, and it's impossible to determine what power will be obtained. The other is to provide a certain guidance. Our Ryuchi Cave belongs to the second type, and the power of this guidance is the scales passed down by the White Snake Sages of each generation!"
"Then how exactly do I do it?"
"As long as you integrate the power in my scales into the Dragon Transformation Technique, this power will sprout in your body like a seed, allowing you to master the power of space..."

Sunagakure.
After returning from Ryuchi Cave, Rasa directly summoned Maki and Honoka.
As soon as the two entered, Rasa didn't waste any time and immediately spoke to them.
"I have something I need you two to do."
Maki's admiration and trust in Rasa had long been blind.
Especially after seeing that Rasa had actually captured the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki from Iwagakure.
He had become very excited.
Honoka then asked.
"What is it?"
Rasa directly used the Summoning Technique to summon two of the nine puppets made by Chiyo: the Four-Tails and Five-Tails puppets.
"Honoka, I need you to use the Sealing Technique to extract some Tailed Beast chakra from those two Jinchuriki and seal it into these two puppets respectively. Maki, you are responsible for assisting."
"Yes, sir!"
Maki immediately took the order.
After the two Jinchuriki were captured, Rasa handed them over to the Anbu to guard.
Although under the White Snake Sage's warning, Rasa dispelled his thoughts about the Tailed Beasts, this didn't mean that Rasa wasn't interested in the Tailed Beasts' chakra. At least he was a bit interested in the Four-Tails' Lava Release and the Five-Tails' Boil Release.
Honoka curiously asked.
"Can these puppets suppress the Tailed Beast's chakra?"
"Don't worry, the core of these puppets is the puppet insect made from my Sage chakra. Suppressing the Tailed Beast's chakra is not a problem. By the way, be gentle when extracting the chakra, and don't let anything happen to these two guys, otherwise, Onoki, that old guy, might really try to fight me to the death."
"Okay!"
Maki nodded, although he felt it was a pity, he also understood that the Four-Tails and Five-Tails couldn't be swallowed by Sunagakure, and could only be used to contain Iwagakure.
"Alright, you guys go and get busy!"
After Maki and Honoka left.
Rasa also breathed a sigh of relief.
The Four-Tails and Five-Tails being obtained meant that the initiative in this war was completely in Sunagakure's hands.
Onoki would definitely not dare to act rashly.
He wouldn't allow the Jinchuriki that Iwagakure had invested so much manpower and financial resources to create to disappear.
Without Onoki, just the Kumogakure was not to be feared!
Then, next, Sunagakure could completely jump out of this vortex of war and focus on developing the village.
But Rasa couldn't really relax.
Don't look at how he easily sealed the Four-Tails and Five-Tails in this battle.
But not to mention how much power the two Tailed Beasts in the sealed state actually exerted.
Even if it was really the complete body, the One-Tails to Seven-Tails couldn't compare to the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails.
Not to mention that this Nine-Tails only had half of it.
Therefore, the current Rasa had no capital to be proud of.
Next, he first went home.
Because Chiyo, Ebizo, and Fukai had all gone to war, Hanataba rarely returned to the village.
For her safety, Rasa had her and Karura live together temporarily.
During this period, Karura's belly had grown bigger and she had morning sickness.
Hanataba, who was originally a bit restrained, became excited after learning about Karura's pregnancy and consciously took on the task of taking care of Karura.
After taking care of his wife, Rasa returned to the Dragon Oasis and began a new round of cultivation...
