Suna City.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A continuous stream of signal flares shot into the sky.
Upon seeing the signal flares, the Sunagakure forces began retreating one after another!
Konoha's people did not pursue them. Instead, they quickly gathered all their own forces.
Then they advanced together.
They also used numerous loudspeakers to broadcast, "Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who surrender will not be killed!"
The Sunagakure forces were retreating rapidly. As long as they had not been surrounded, very few chose to surrender.
However, all the ordinary citizens of Suna City hid in their homes, trembling in fear.

Searching for those people had now become the top priority.
At that moment,
