  At that moment, the prospect of tag a Shinobi like Senju Hashirama was undeniably entig for them.

  But just as this thought crossed his mind, a figure suddenly appeared before them.

  "I really didn't want to e find you, but Tobirama Sama insisted I deliver a message." Suna's face emerged in front of everyone.

  "Your other main force seems to have crossed into the Wind try's territory and their situation is very dangerous!"

  His calm words immediately shifted Qin Yi's expression.

  "The people from the Wind try likely won't show you the same mercy we do."

  "In fact, most of the ret assassinations you've faced have been orchestrated by them."

  "Now that your forces have eheir territory, they undoubtedly see you as Konoha's allies."

  Suna tinued.

  Everyone present had e to uand the nguage of the Naruto world, and their expressions turned grave.

  Qin Yi's face hardened, and he called out coldly, "Fang Lan!"

  Fang Lan stepped forward immediately, "Yes!"

  "Set up camp here. No one is to move without my order!"

  His gaze shifted, and Fang Lan opened his mouth to speak, but upoing Qin Yi's eyes, he felt a tremor in his heart and quickly replied, "Yes!"

  Qin Yi took a deep breath, then turo Suna and asked, "How far is my other force from here?"

  "Not far. If you head southwest for about fifteen miles, you'll reach a desert."

  "They should be in that desert right now," Suna said calmly.

  "Alright!" Qin Yi nodded.

  "Gandalf."

  He turned and called out.

  Without hesitation, Gandalf whistled.

  "Kree!"

  A giant eagle soon appeared and nded gracefully.

  Suna and the cat-faced mask Shinobi exged surprised gnces but said nothing.

  In the moment, Qin Yi and Gandalf mouhe giant eagle, and with a powerful cry, they took off from the ground.

  The giant eagle swiftly covered the distand within fifteen minutes, Qin Yi and Gandalf could see the edge of the dense forest and the vast yellow desert beyond.

  "There!" From above, they spotted a rge group of soldiers guarding a womareating into the forest. In the distance, figures darted through the soldiers in the desert. Each time they appeared, blood spttered, and soldiers fell.

  Over five thousand soldiers had formed a tight human wall, standing resolutely behind the woman, r and charging toward ehey could not defeat, using their bodies to block cold ons. They fought desperately to hold back the enemy, hoping to give their rades a ce to escape, but their efforts were in vain.

  Though the enemy numbered only about a huheir bat strength was terrifying.

  "What a futile resistance. With such strength, they dare to challenge us and Konoha!"

  "Kill them all!"

  "That womao be one of their high-ranking leaders. Capture her and brio me. I want to execute her in front of Konoha and these people!"

  The leader of the Sand Ninjas snarled coldly.

  They had been driven out of the forest by Konoha in a small skirmish. Just as they retreated to the desert, this group of weaklings had unched a surprise attack, and their hearts were filled with rage. The loss to Konoha had fueled their anger, which they now directed at these fragile beings.

  Upon hearing the leader's order, several figures dashed forward, charging toward the woman who was about to retreat into the forest.

  "Protect the Princess!!"

  The General beside the woman narrowed his eyes and shouted angrily.

  The soldiers, determio protect the princess, rushed forward without hesitation, vowing to stop the e all costs.

  "No!! Fall back!!"

  "Everyone fall back!"

  "Stop throwing your lives away!"

  "This is an order!"

  The girl in red shouted with all her might, her eyes brimming with tears.

  In one day, she had witoo much bloodshed, too many familiar faces turning cold. The Kingdom's warriors were falling one by one, and each loss twisted her heart with pain.

  "Let me go! I want to fight! Let me die with them!"

  She yelled, trying to break through the human wall, but the soldiers held her back firmly.

  "Princess, please don't act rashly. If all the soldiers fall, I will charge with you!"

  "But for now, please retreat and protect yourself!"

  The General, with a resolute expression, spoke firmly.

  The battle cries were deafening, the stench of blood thi the air, and the girl cried until her tears ran dry. The General's expression remained serious, though occasionally when he g her, his eyes revealed a hint of pity.

  She was only fiftee had to bear such ressure. The General uood her pain deeply, standing by her side.

  "The sister is exceptional. It's a pity that her brother a worthless man."

  "What's even more hopeless is that this worthless man is the King of this nation!"

  The General thought bitterly to himself.

  After some persuasion, the girl finally hrough her tears. Watg her soldiers fall one by one, her heart bled with anger, helplessness, and pain, almost overwhelming her.

  Each Kingdom soldier was elite, and after spending so much time with them, the girl had formed a deep bond. That's why, at this moment of danger, each soldier was willing to sacrifice their life for just a few seds to give her a ce to escape.

  But despite the long human wall, the Sand Ninjas advanced uing. A dozen or so Sand Ninjas, not even b to fight seriously, moved swiftly, c hundreds of meters in mere seds and arriving at the front of the girl's group.

  "You weak little chicks, I really don't uand where you get the ce to fight us."

  With sneers on their faces, the Sand Ninjas drew their short bdes, ready to kill.

  They were now very close to the girl, and capturing her would be effortless.

  "Kill!"

  The soldiers didn't uand what the Sand Ninjas were saying, but they could feel the murderous i. Without hesitation, they charged forward with their long swords raised.

  "Pfft!"

  Crimson blood spttered, staining the desert, as the Sand Ninjas advanced rapidly.

  "Block them!"

  The General's face ged drastically, and he roared, drawing his longsword and preparing for battle.

  The girl remained calm, watg the Sand Ninjas tiheir sughter, her eyes cold with hatred and fury.

  She wasn't afraid of death; what broke her heart was the death of the Kingdom soldiers.

  For every soldier that fell, the man she cared about lost hope of surviving.

  She didn't want him to die. Even if he was useless, she didn't want him to die.

  Suddenly, a figure leaped high into the air, s several dozeers before rapidly desding toward them.

  The girl looked up and saw the cold killing i in the person's eyes. She was unafraid, slowly drawing her longsword from her waist.

  The desert, blood, sughter, ferocity, and the longsword in the girl's hand tied with a red cord.

  All these formed a chilling, tragic image that made one's heart shiver.

  "Hahaha, this woman is mine!" A Sand Ninja shouted.

  "Kree!"

  Suddenly, the cry of an eagle echoed across the sky.
