A new Rasa in Naruto world(Self Insert)(Male reader)

Chapter 17: Nomad Solution

It was far from easy to successfully complete the mission if things turned out poorly.

They could first silently eliminate most of the sleeping bandits and gain some advantage.

But once they had done this it was probable that one of the bandits would end up alerting the other bandits in the base, creating chaos, and causing the civilians to seek to escape from the base while the remaining bandits would gather to confront them preventing them from eliminating the civilians escaping from the Base.

If this were to happen, the mission would fail as there could be a possible leak of information.

But if they don't do this, and decide to eliminate the civilians first to prevent them from escaping, the bandits would be more, and confronting them later would be even more difficult, worsening the situation and leaving little chance for the three of them to get out alive.

Well, in Rasa's case it wouldn't be much of a problem since if he used his control over the metal he could easily deal with the situation, but he still didn't want to expose himself, he had other plans that required him to keep his control over the metal hidden, but now he would be in a complicated situation if he didn't use it.

He already knew that it was likely that to successfully complete this mission, he would have to use his gold dust thus revealing his identity since Rasa was clearly the only one who could use this KeKkei Genaki besides the Kazekage who used the iron sand.

But the truth was that he wasn't too worried if his team found out his identity.

He didn't mention it before only because now being the recognized apprentice of the Third Kazekage could be an awkward situation with his team and he preferred to save himself trouble, but if it was necessary he would use his gold dust in front of them.

On the other hand, his control of the metal was another matter, unless it was life or death Rasa wasn't willing to reveal it to anyone.

"Oh I know, I thought of a wonderful way to take care of these civilians" Nomad suddenly said proudly as if he was a genius.

"Sure I hear you, say your great solution," Custus said sarcastically.

"Paper Bomb!" exclaimed Nomad with full confidence.

Custus and Rasa looked at him in confusion not understanding what exactly he had planned to do with the Explosive Tag.

"And tell us genius, how exactly would the Explosive Tag serve us?" asked Custus with a frown even though she couldn't be seen because of the turban she was wearing everyone knew she was doing it.

"Since there are too many civilians on the other side that can escape in the chaos, and so we can't attack the sleeping bandits, it's simple what we have to do, we plant Paper Bomb everywhere there are civilians and blow them all up" Nomad explained his reasoning very simply.

They both looked at Nomad for a few moments as if the idiot had suddenly turned into some kind of genius in their eyes.

"Actually that might work, if we do that the only ones who might survive the explosions are the bandits, so we shouldn't have to worry about civilians escaping" agreed Rasa who wasn't expecting such a convenient idea to come from Nomad.

'It's funny because I thought of many different ways to deal with the situation, but something as basic as that never crossed my mind, it seems I underestimated Nomad or maybe he just got lucky, but I'll give him credit this time' thought Rasa to himself.

Custus on the other hand seemed reluctant to believe that Nomad's stone head had come up with such an efficient plan to deal with the situation and she hadn't.
