The first thing Rasa looked at was the S-Rank Ninjutsu Upgrade Card.
Last time he had used one, it had transformed his Sand Clone Technique into Anubis, an improvement so enormous it could hardly be overstated.
Therefore, Rasa was looking forward to this one as well.
"Use it!"
Immediately, several names quickly appeared on the card.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave."
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere."
"Wind Release: Vacuum Blade."
Rasa: "…"
"All three are Wind Release ninjutsu?"
If they had been multiple types of ninjutsu, Rasa would have had to judge carefully. But since all three were Wind Release, there was no need.
He could just choose one.
"Then I'll choose Wind Release: Vacuum Wave."
The next moment, a streak of light flashed over the card. Immediately afterward, the three ninjutsu names disappeared.
A stream of information flooded into Rasa's mind.
[Vacuum Wave Technique — God's Vacuum Hand.]
[—Select a target and consume a certain amount of chakra. After use, it acts upon the target's clothing and forcibly places the target into a vacuum state.]
Rasa: "???"
"What is this?"
Rasa's eyes widened as he stared at the explanation, his expression turning incredulous.
What God's Hand?
This was clearly a pervert's hand.
It acted upon the target's clothing and forcibly placed the target into a vacuum state.
If Rasa had not misunderstood, this "vacuum" meant making the target's inner clothing disappear, right?
"It's not that this ability isn't strong, but…"
"This is a ninja world. No matter how I look at it, this doesn't count as S-rank."
"It only removes the target's inner clothing. What kind of effect can that cause?"
"Even against a female ninja, the effect might not necessarily be good."
It was like Naruto's Sexy Technique. To say it was weak would be inaccurate—it was useful.
But to call it strong?
No matter what, it should not reach S-rank.
"Is it not strong in ordinary terms, but because it's a conceptual ability, it was forcibly raised to S-rank?"
Rasa frowned, thinking about possible usage scenarios for this ability.
"Against ordinary people or ordinary ninja, it definitely won't produce an S-rank effect. But what if the target is an Otsutsuki?"
"If it can distract an Otsutsuki for even an instant, then it would indeed be worth an S-rank."
Rasa looked toward a little brat not far away.
His thoughts moved.
"God's Vacuum Hand!"
The next moment, the little brat suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
Then he burst into tears with a loud wail.
A woman quickly walked out and carried the little brat into the house.
"It really did become vacuum."
Rasa had seen it very clearly with his Byakugan.
In that instant, with a swish, it disappeared.
"It vanished directly. It didn't appear in front of me."
"The amount of chakra consumed isn't much either."
Rasa then looked toward the Confrontation Points Exchange Card.
He was quite satisfied with this item. It had greatly increased the speed at which he obtained points. As long as he selected one target, he could quickly gain points from them.
"I wonder whether Danzo's name can appear again this time."
"Danzo is very sensitive. A little stimulation is enough for him to provide a large amount of emotional value."
Rasa took out the item card.
"Use it!"
Immediately, six names appeared on the card.
Onoki. Chukichi. A. Rasa. Hiruzen Sarutobi. Hatake Kakashi.
"Why is my own name here?"
Rasa eliminated himself first. Facing off against himself—would that not just turn into left brain fighting right brain?
"Onoki. No contact for now. Eliminate."
"Chukichi. Not much contact, and Kirigakure has already declined. Eliminate."
"A. No contact for now. Eliminate."
"Kakashi. Eliminate."
"Then I'll set it as Hiruzen Sarutobi. It's a little unfortunate that Danzo isn't here, but right now, Sunagakure and Konoha's relationship is terrible, and Hiruzen Sarutobi has just happened to run into trouble."
"Choosing Hiruzen Sarutobi for confrontation at this time should also allow me to quickly obtain emotional value."
"Also, I was already planning to argue with Hiruzen Sarutobi in Ninja World Weekly over the matter of the true and fake Kakashi. That should stimulate him."
As for the One-Night Dream Fabrication Card, Rasa had no plans to use it for the time being.
Rasa took out paper and brush, then wrote three points on the page.
First, the real Kakashi must be able to use Chidori.
Second, the real Kakashi must be able to use the Sharingan to copy other people's ninjutsu.
Third, the real Kakashi must be able to summon the Eight Ninja Dogs.
Using the Transformation Technique to change into someone else's appearance was easy.
But copying everything about a person was far too difficult.
This was not the Water Mirror Technique.
And even the Water Mirror Technique could not truly copy everything one hundred percent.
At that moment, Kakashi, who was far away in the Land of Rain, also learned of Konoha's response.
"Shameless… truly shameless!"
Kakashi clenched his fists.
"With this, I'm the one who becomes the fake?"
"Hokage-sa… no. Hiruzen Sarutobi. I truly never imagined you were this kind of person."
"You have wronged my father, and you have wronged me."
Kakashi's eyes were bloodshot.
"You disappoint me too much!"
"Fake. Everything was fake."
"Maybe Sensei Minato really did die because of your schemes, just like those people said."
"And maybe the Uchiha were innocent too."
A figure arrived in front of Kakashi.
"Kakashi, regarding the matter of your strength, we've developed a plan."
Kakashi raised his head and looked at Pain across from him.
He was someone who could make others feel immense pressure just by standing there and doing nothing.
"Leader."
Pain said, "Your comrade's Sharingan has certainly given you assistance. But at the same time, it has also limited you."
"If this Sharingan is removed, only then can your own potential be exchanged for fully. It may not be impossible for you to grow to the level of your father, Konoha's White Fang."
"After all, you are his son."
"I can arrange surgery for you to remove the Sharingan, while also treating the injuries on your body."
"After the surgery, your strength will inevitably improve."
Kakashi did not reject this point.
Even though this Sharingan came from his comrade and represented the bond between him and Uchiha Obito, Kakashi could indeed feel the side effects that this Sharingan brought him.
It was a double-edged sword.
"Then what about this Sharingan?"
Pain said as though it were only natural, "I will keep it safe."
In truth, that was not the case.
After thinking it over again and again, Uchiha Obito still felt that the plan to transplant Hashirama cells into Kakashi while allowing him to keep the Sharingan would have too much negative impact on himself.
Even though Obito truly did care about Kakashi.
But in Obito's heart, what mattered more was the plan.
The Eye of the Moon Plan.
The plan to create a world where Rin existed.
"Don't worry. I will preserve it properly at Akatsuki's base. If you wish to see it, it will certainly be intact."
Hearing this, Kakashi no longer hesitated.
"Alright. Then I'll trouble you, Leader."
"Please arrange the surgery for me."
