After Sasori and the others left, only Yuzuru remained in the desert, along with Mu and Shukaku in the distance.
Yuzuru walked over slowly, and Shukaku immediately lay down on the ground with a grin.
"Lord Yuzuru, I was too arrogant before. Now I want to work for you. Please give me a chance."
Just moments ago, through Mu's memories, Shukaku had learned about Yuzuru's true strength and the lives led by the other Tailed Beasts under him.
It couldn't help but feel envious.
After all, that kind of carefree life was something it had long dreamed of.
Not only could they come out to get some fresh air from time to time, but they also didn't have to worry about annoying people constantly bothering them…
It sounded absolutely amazing!
Anyway, with Yuzuru's strength, resisting was pointless. It was better to cooperate willingly and leave a good impression.
Seeing how obedient Shukaku was, Yuzuru raised an eyebrow in surprise.
In his impression, Shukaku had always been like an unruly brat, the type that wouldn't be easy to tame.
Yet its behavior now completely exceeded his expectations.
Still, since Shukaku had taken the initiative to show goodwill, Yuzuru naturally wouldn't act distant.
He patted Shukaku's lowered head and said with a smile, "Very good. You've got spirit. Follow me properly from now on."
"Yes!"
Shukaku immediately responded, already unable to stop imagining the future.
In Yuzuru's plan, after collecting all nine Tailed Beasts, he would strip away most of their chakra, leaving only a small portion and their core to sustain their lives.
In other words, every Tailed Beast would end up with roughly the same level of chakra.
And it had learned ninjutsu!
When the time came, teaching that stinky fox a lesson would be effortless.
"Kehehehehe…"
Shukaku let out a strange laugh.
In its mind, it had already pictured itself becoming the leader of the Tailed Beasts, majestic and imposing.
"What are you laughing about?"
"I'll seal you inside my body for now. Cooperate."
Yuzuru's words snapped Shukaku back to reality. It nodded vigorously.
"I understand, Boss Yuzuru!"
Hearing that strange title, Yuzuru's mouth twitched slightly.
He said nothing more, placing both hands on Shukaku's body as he began sealing its chakra into himself.
As time passed, all of Shukaku's chakra was quickly sealed into Yuzuru's body, and Rasa's corpse appeared on the ground.
Seeing this, Yuzuru directly transferred a White Zetsu out from the Kamui space and clapped his hands together.
"Impure World Reincarnation!"
With the White Zetsu's scream, Rasa's soul returned to the living world.
Looking at Yuzuru, he froze for a moment before speaking in confusion.
"What's going on? Didn't I already die?"
Yuzuru pointed at the corpse on the ground.
"You did die. That's your body."
Rasa stood there blankly for a moment, sensing his own body before finally looking at Yuzuru with a complicated expression.
"This is the Impure World Reincarnation?"
"You summoned me… what do you want?"
Yuzuru smiled and patted Rasa on the shoulder.
"When you were alive, you blocked my path, so I had to kill you."
"But your Magnet Release bloodline can collect gold dust. That shouldn't go to waste."
"So… from now on, you'll use your Impure World Reincarnation body to gather gold dust in the desert for me. Consider it recycling."
If you don't know how to talk, maybe don't talk!
Recycling? What kind of nonsense is that?!
Rasa roared internally, feeling as if the man before him was a demon straight out of hell.
His corpse hadn't even cooled yet, and he was already summoned back with Impure World Reincarnation to work…
The very person who killed him now acted so friendly…
Rasa felt an unprecedented level of speechlessness, silently thinking that Yuzuru's shamelessness was comparable to a city wall.
Seeing Rasa remain silent, Yuzuru spoke again considerately.
"Don't worry. An Impure World Reincarnation body has infinite chakra. Even if you work twenty-four hours a day collecting gold dust without rest, you won't have to worry about stamina or chakra."
Hearing this, Rasa felt like crying.
Did anyone ask you that?
Don't make decisions on your own, you bastard!
And from the sound of it, Yuzuru didn't even want to give him a single minute of rest!
Devil!
I'm begging you, act like a human!
Rasa felt countless beautiful words forming in his heart, ready to unleash them upon Yuzuru so he could experience the power of language.
But Yuzuru had clearly predicted his reaction and controlled his mouth in advance.
"Rasa, work hard. From now on, you're the greatest gold miner in the ninja world."
After saying that, Yuzuru controlled the tearful-looking Rasa and sent him toward the depths of the desert.
Only after finishing everything did he clap his hands in satisfaction.
Unlike the Land of Fire and the Land of Lightning, the Land of Wind was extremely barren.
Transforming the Land of Wind would require astronomical funds.
But now that he had Rasa, the tireless gold miner, the issue of funding should be greatly alleviated.

Over the next few days, Yuzuru temporarily stayed in Sunagakure.
Although the ninja of Sunagakure had knelt and surrendered after Shukaku's defeat, Yuzuru knew this was merely a temporary measure for many of them.
Until Sunagakure was completely under control, it was better for him to remain here.
Kazekage Building.
Yuzuru walked into the office and saw Pakura, wearing the Kazekage hat, processing documents.
Seeing this, Yuzuru smiled.
"Lord Kazekage, you've been working hard lately. How does it feel to become Kazekage?"
Pakura looked up, excitement shining in her beautiful eyes.
"I like it very much."
After speaking, she stood up and slowly turned in front of Yuzuru.
"Yuzuru, does this outfit look good on me?"
Seeing Pakura reveal such a feminine side, Yuzuru couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
"It looks good. You look good in anything."
Hearing this, Pakura lowered her head and laughed softly, then reached out to grab Yuzuru's arm and led him behind the desk.
"Yuzuru, thanks to you, I was able to take revenge and finally achieve my long-held dream."
After saying that, Pakura pressed Yuzuru into the Kazekage's exclusive chair.
"Yuzuru, just sit there. Let me properly repay you!"
Seeing her actions, Yuzuru quickly grabbed her arm.
"Wait a moment. I came to ask you something this time. Tell me about Sunagakure's recent situation first."
Pakura waved her hand, licking her lips as she spoke in a seductive tone.
"Yuzuru, these things can wait until later."
Watching Pakura lower her head and begin working diligently, Yuzuru could only sigh helplessly.
Ah…
Having too much male charm is exhausting too. (T/N: Ah another head... lucky bastard!!!)
