Naruto: This Uchiha is a businessman Chapter 196

If Rasa knew what Chiyo and the others were thinking, he would definitely curse them out and then swap opponents with them.

Who would have thought that he was just facing a ninja who wasn’t very famous in the ninja world, yet he ended up against the hidden controller of the Land of Tea, and one who had just come out of seclusion and seemed to have gained quite a lot?

“Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, right? I remember you.”

Lu Lin said indifferently, looking at the prepared Rasa.

“Then I’m truly honored.”

Rasa’s expression grew more solemn. He found that he couldn’t sense any chakra fluctuations from Lu Lin. This could only mean two things: either Lu Lin had no chakra, or the gap between them was too vast.

The first possibility, seeing as the other party had no support yet could float steadily in the air, was clearly impossible.

So…

Absolutely impossible! He was a Kage-level ninja now, which was the peak every ninja could reach. There couldn’t be anything better than this level!

If there were, it would only be the Ninja World’s God, Hashirama Senju, and Madara Uchiha. How could this person in front of him reach that level?!

Absolutely impossible!

Rasa couldn’t even imagine what the entire ninja world would become if Lu Lin truly reached that level.

One must know that even with Hashirama’s power back then, he didn’t think of unifying the ninja world, and Lu Lin was not like Hashirama in character.

The first thing Lu Lin did to make a name for himself in the ninja world was to forcefully break out of it, then occupy the territory of the Land of Tea, and even eliminate all the nobles in that country.

Was this something a person who sought stability would do?

Was this something a ninja who loved peace would do?!

“You seem to be thinking some very impolite thoughts.”

Lu Lin said, frowning, as he watched Rasa’s expression change dramatically.

“Uchiha Lu Lin, if I leave with my subordinates now, can you pretend that today’s events never happened?”

Rasa, who always prioritized stability, asked tentatively.

“Oh? Fight and then leave, is that a tradition of your Hidden Sand Village?”

Lu Lin’s words immediately made Rasa’s face flush. He also knew that what he said was indeed a bit excessive:

“Then our Hidden Sand Village is willing to compensate for the losses caused by us this time. Is that acceptable?”

The conversation between the two naturally reached the ears of the surrounding ninjas. They all looked at Rasa in surprise, even anger:

What did that mean? They clearly had a great advantage, so why suddenly stop fighting and even compensate the Land of Tea?!

However, Rasa ignored them and stared intently at Lu Lin, hoping to hear the answer he wanted from his mouth.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Lin’s eyes. It seemed Rasa had sensed, or guessed, that his strength was something those present could not resist, which was why he chose such a humiliating method, one that would affect whether he could continue to serve as Kazekage.

“You’re very perceptive.”

Lu Lin said approvingly. Rasa thought Lu Lin would agree, and his eyes lit up, but unfortunately, upon hearing Lu Lin’s next words, his entire being became listless:

“But unfortunately, you only have two choices: One, join the Land of Tea, but I will allow your Hidden Sand Village to exist. As for the Land of Wind, there’s no need for it to exist. The so-called daimyo and nobles will naturally disappear from the ninja world along with the Land of Wind.

Two, the entire Hidden Sand Village will disappear along with the Land of Wind.”

As soon as his words fell, Lu Lin’s aura surged, and an boundless oppressive force spread across the entire battlefield, even enveloping the battlefields of Konoha and the Land of Tea.

The ninjas who were still fighting were pressed to the ground by this immense oppressive force, their eyes filled with extreme horror. They had no idea what was happening.

“Is he really that strong? Was the Ninja World’s God that powerful back then?”

After being struck by the powerful aura, Rasa’s eyes became vacant. He found it hard to understand why Hashirama Senju, with such immense power, hadn’t unified the ninja world back then.

Lu Lin didn’t wait for Rasa to answer. He directly clasped his hands together, and the ground began to shake violently. A wooden Buddha, over a thousand meters tall, composed of trees, stood tall on the battlefield.

At the same time, several thousand-meter-long giant dragons coiled around the wooden Buddha, opening their large mouths and roaring silently.

The previously restless One-Tails instantly calmed down, the entire mouse-like creature prostrating on the ground. A closer look would reveal that it was trembling, muttering, “Can’t see me, can’t see me.”

“That’s… that’s the First Hokage’s Wood Style?!”

Hiruzen Sarutobi’s eyes widened:

“Did the First Hokage revive? No, could someone have used Impure World Reincarnation?”

As the Hokage who had controlled Konoha for many years, and also the Second Hokage’s disciple, he naturally knew his teacher’s forbidden jutsu, which included the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu.

However, this forbidden jutsu was stopped by the First Hokage’s order before it was perfected. Moreover, he remembered that the First Hokage’s Wooden Buddha wasn’t this big.

Not far away, Orochimaru’s eyes gleamed with excitement. He knew that Lu Lin had made his move, but he hadn’t expected such a huge commotion.

Was this something a human could create? Had Lu Lin become a god now? Could a god be immortal? Were there many things worth researching?

Apart from a very few calm individuals, the Konoha ninjas were filled with nothing but excitement. They had heard legends of the First Hokage since childhood, and naturally, they had heard about the First Hokage’s signature Great Buddha too many times.

But even upon seeing it in person this time, they were still shocked by its terrifying and aura.

Was this the powerful jutsu that once overshadowed the entire ninja world? This was too mighty, too unbelievable, wasn’t it?

Minato Namikaze stood calmly in place. What he was thinking was pretty much the same as Hiruzen Sarutobi. The skill of the long-dead First Hokage appearing here was not good news.

He turned to look at his opponent, Sakumo Hatake, and found that there was no panic on his face, but rather a hint of confidence. Minato was a bit puzzled. It was fine that he wasn’t panicking, but what the hell was with the confidence? Could he, or Lu Lin behind him, defeat him?

No.

Remembering Lu Lin, Minato’s heart tightened. They had been fighting for so long, and he hadn’t heard any news about Lu Lin yet.

Could it be…?

He looked at the Great Buddha standing between heaven and earth in the distance, and a guess formed in his mind:

“This Great Buddha, it couldn’t be Lu Lin’s masterpiece, could it?”

However, he quickly dismissed this idea. What a joke, how could an Uchiha use the Senju’s Wood Style? That was ridiculous.

Even among the Senju clan, only the First Hokage possessed Wood Style. What right did the Uchiha have?
