Meeting Jiraiya-sensei

At Ichiraku Ramen shop in the village,

Two men, one old and one young, was talking to one another.

"Jiraiya-sensei, long time no see.". Namikaze Minato said hello. Actually, he didn't really want to see Jiraiya at his current state. But Jiraiya came to the Uchiha clan and asked to meet him.

"I really didn't expect to see you again. First of all I'm truly sorry for not taking care of Naruto on your absence. This is not just the old man's fault, I was also responsible for the suffering Naruto had to bear." Jiraiya looked at Namikaze Minato with complicated eyes and continued speaking.

"Is this Reanimation jutsu? ? ?"

He has only heard of this name, but has not seen it in a real sense.

"Jiraiya-sensei doesn't need to feel sorry, I have already arranged things for Naruto.". Namikaze Minato shook his head. Everyone has their own negligence, and he didn't want to affect other people's emotions because of this. To Jiraiya, his child may just be the children of his apprentice. So he can't blame his master for treating his son badly

"Then let's talk about what happened Yesterday night. You were there, right?", Jiraiya asked.

"Yes", Minato replied.

Then the conversation shifted to the recent events involving Uchiha Yami and the Uchiha Clan's dark plans. Namikaze Minato recounted the turmoil, including Sarutobi Asuma's demise and the imminent threat to the entire ninja world. He also told the underlying motive of Yami, and his extreme vision of a new world.

"That's probably it". Namikaze Minato directly explained the matter roughly.

"It's an extreme stance, isn't it? The choice seems simple: either witness the annihilation of the established ninja world order or face obliteration at the hands of others. But that's precisely the point, isn't it? Destruction is his means to an end. Shikaku saw through it all. Yami's not after unification; he craves the obliteration of the current order to pave the way for his own. To him, distinctions blur into one brutal reality—those who unquestioningly follow him will survive, and those who dare defy him will meet a swift demise. In his world, there are no Daimyos or Ninjas; there are only the obedient, marked for survival, and the disobedient, destined for slaughter. It's not just about power; it's about instilling a fear so profound that survival hinges solely on unwavering subservience to his will." Jiraiya said in a very serious tone

"Indeed," agreed Namikaze Minato. "His goal seems to be much greater than the unification of the ninja world. He disregards the importance of daimyos and even fellow ninjas."

Both Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato sighed over what to do in the future. Infact there isn't much they can do other than follow Yami, whether it is towards destruction or to the creation of a New world order.

As for Yami he really didn't care what Jiraiya or Namikaze Minato want to do. As long as Jiraiya don't stand in his way, or take Naruto away from the village, Yami will just pretend that he doesn't exist. Jiraiya also wants to protect the village, so the chances of him turning against Yami is less. As for Namikaze Minato, Yami can control him at anytime he want. Also If he doesn't want anything to happen to Naruto, he has no choice but to follow Uchiha Yamis into darkness.

Namikaze Minato did not express any further opinion on this matter. The entire ninja world will definitely start a war, unless there is still a ninja god who can suppress everyone.

At this time in the prison.

Currently Rasa was imprisoned in this prison.

Uchiha Yami had just arrived here. An Uchiha ninja who was guarding here greeted him directly and lead Yami to the cell were Rasa was imprisoned. 

 Rasa was in a miserable state, he suffered heavy injuries, one of his hand had been completely cut off and one side of his body was also severely wounded. Even though he had already received some medical care, it wasn't enough. He still looked like he was in severe pain. But Yami didn't show an ounce of sympathy and asked directly. 

" Rasa, haven't you thought about my offer yet?".

"What's the point?". Rasa was very depressed.

"Do you want your people to spend their entire lives in the desert?. Surrender honestly and let the people of Sand Ninja Village be my helpers. This is your chance. A chance to get out of the desert."

Uchiha Yami spoke slowly.

 Rasa realy want to help his people come out of the desert, He doesnt want his people to suffer in poverty and the extreme conditions of the Dessert. But Rasa still remained silent. 

Currently Uchiha Yami found himself in a dire need for more loyal subjects. The vast expanse of the Fire country posed a daunting challenge, and despite his triumph over the Daimyo, Yami faced the daunting reality of insufficient manpower to govern such a vast nation. The urgency intensified, pushing Yami to seek allegiance from Rasa, a critical figure in the Sand shinobi Village.

"You should know that even if your village comes together, you can't stop me, right?, In addition, your village is like this. Now that you and One tails are gone, what do you think your village still has?. Do you want to watch the Suna Ninja Village be wiped out?.Or do you think I will be merciful?"

Uchiha Yami looked at him coldly, if it weren't for the lack of manpower and the puppet technique which will be really useful for some projects, Yami wouldn't have been coming down here..

Such a magical and controllable puppet, but it is a bit wasteful to use it as a weapon. This puppets will really be useful in Industrialization and large scale constructions.

Yami always thought that Sand Ninja Village is like a group of idiots hiding in the desert and wasting their talents. If they change their thinking a little bit, They could have achieved many things. At that time even the desert can't stop them.

Yami have many ideas regarding the use of these puppets, Like building trains that connect countries, large scale structures, etc....

In fact, there have been things like trains in this ninja world for a long time, but no one thought of promoting them on a large scale.

The Sand shinobi village is the poorest among the five major countries and in Yami's eyes they don't have anything valuable other than this Puppet technology..

So this was also the final opportunity extended by Yami to Rasa — a last chance for surrender. The gravity of the situation loomed, and if Rasa failed to heed this ultimatum, Yami's wrath would transcend mere conquest. Unleashing the full breadth of his terror, Yami will obliterate the feeble construct known as the Sand shinobi Village. The impending destruction would be a brutal showcase, a symphony of chaos, and a visceral reminder of Yami's absolute power.

Rasa felt paralyzed after hearing Uchiha Yami's words. He saw the cruelty of Yami yesterday, and Yami even wiped out the Daimyos family without an ounce of mercy. So naturally It is impossible to show mercy to them. Also he knew the true power of Yami, he still remember the helplessness he felt at the moment when he saw Nine tails wraped in a black Susanoo.

So once a fight breaks out, what happened yesterday night will soon happen to the Sand shinobi village.
