The fierce battle continued until dusk. Under the blood-red sunset, Kikyo Mountain looked especially desolate, with blood flowing everywhere and corpses strewn across the ground. Because Beichen Haotian had joined the battle, Sunagakure's losses were even more severe than in the original story.

Of the more than eight thousand ninja, nearly six thousand had been lost, leaving Sunagakure severely weakened. For at least the next ten years, Sunagakure would pose no threat to Konoha whatsoever. As a defeated nation, it had lost more than just troops; it also had to face the issue of postwar reparations. The money and supplies required to wage a war were already immense, and having to pay reparations on top of that only made matters worse. Thus, saying that Sunagakure would pose no threat to Konoha for ten years was still a very conservative estimate.

Of the six thousand Sand Ninja who had died, more than four thousand had been killed because of Beichen Haotian, while nearly two thousand had died directly at his hands. Beichen Haotian's killing intent was somewhat stronger than that of ordinary people, but he was absolutely not someone who slaughtered innocents indiscriminately. Only on a battlefield—a place that ignored right and wrong and cared only about one's side—could Beichen Haotian fight so freely and without restraint.

Because of Beichen Haotian's outstanding performance during the war, the surviving Sunagakure ninja gave him a title: the Crimson Sword Demon. As the surviving Sand Ninja spread the name, it began circulating throughout the Land of Wind. By the end of the Third Shinobi World War, it had spread throughout the Ninja World. Later, when Beichen Haotian learned of his title, he couldn't help grumbling inwardly. I clearly use a blade, okay...

Beichen Haotian did not continue participating in the subsequent matters concerning Sunagakure.
