"You... you won't kill me?"

Looking at Uchiha Yue in front of him, Sasori of the Red Sands frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

As soon as Sasori of the Red Sands finished speaking, Uchiha Yue withdrew his right hand from Sasori of the Red Sands's throat, smiling as he said, "When we fought just now, you had countless opportunities to kill my comrades, but you didn't make a move. Now that I've destroyed your three puppets, I naturally have no reason to kill you. Besides, your purpose in coming to Licorice Town wasn't to deal with us, and I don't want to destroy the talents of Sunagakure; that would take away a lot of my fun in the future."

"Oh? Interesting!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Sasori of the Red Sands also smiled slightly and said, "Uchiha Yue, you are indeed an interesting person. I hope you don't die on the front lines, and even more so, that you don't encounter me on the battlefield, otherwise I will definitely kill you! Of course, if you don't die on the front lines, I think we will have a chance to meet again."

"The Chunin Ninja Exams?"

Just as Sasori of the Red Sands mentioned this, Uchiha Yue guessed where the two would meet again, saying, "Perfect, we can have another match during the Chunin Ninja Exams and see who's stronger. Of course, as Puppet Master, you may never be able to defeat me. Don't you understand yet? I'm the bane of Puppet Master!"

"Hmph, what a boastful fellow!"

Seeing Uchiha Yue's confident demeanor, Sasori of the Red Sands shrugged helplessly and said, "You'd better pray you don't run into me! Otherwise, you'll die a horrible death!"

Having said that, Sasori of the Red Sands seemed to have no intention of lingering in Licorice Town any longer and turned to leave.

At the same time, Uchiha Yue naturally arrived beside Yuri Kurama, preparing to take her back to Yuri Kurama Kushina Uzumaki and the others. Undoubtedly, even though Uchiha Yue let Sasori of the Red Sands go, making Sasori of the Red Sands owe him a favor, Uchiha Yue still firmly believed that Sasori of the Red Sands would eventually bring the Sunagakure ninjas. After all, Uchiha Yue and Sasori of the Red Sands were enemy ninjas, and moreover, Uchiha Yue had previously caused the Sunagakure ninjas to lose face.

Uchiha Yue's decision to spare Sasori of the Red Sands was also driven by his own motives. Sasori of the Red Sands was a traitor to Sunagakure, and in doing so, he killed the Third Kazekage Sunagakure. With the Third Hokage dead, Sasori of the Red Sands would temporarily lack the strength to attack Konoha. Therefore, Sunagakure Uchiha Yue only wanted to further weaken Sunagakure and didn't feel any special connection to Sasori of the Red Sands.

But...

Just as Uchiha Yue was about to leave with Yuri Kurama, Sasori of the Red Sands suddenly turned around and called out to Uchiha Yue.

"Hey, there must be more than just a few of you Konoha ninjas hiding in the Licorice Town of Land of Medicine, right?"

"Um?"

Upon hearing Sasori of the Red Sands's words, Uchiha Yue frowned slightly, clearly thinking of something, and then said, "That's right, some of our companions left Licorice Town some time ago, preparing to return to the Land of Fire."

"That's right!"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Sasori of the Red Sands took a light breath and said, "Recently, our village's ninjas have been hunting down your village's ninjas, and it seems two of them were captured alive. If I'm not mistaken, Licorice Town will soon be surrounded by our village's people. You'd better run away quickly. After all, we haven't truly decided the victor yet, and I don't want you to die in the Land of Land of Medicine now and be unable to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams!"

"Thanks!"

Having obtained crucial information from Sasori of the Red Sands, Uchiha Yue nodded heavily. He then immediately picked up Yuri Kurama, preparing to return to Kushina Uzumaki and the others as quickly as possible to inform them about the attack on Hizashi Hyuga Uchiha Yue and the others. Clearly, Sasori of the Red Sands was repaying Uchiha Yue's favor, as he had even shared important information about the village with him.

After obtaining such confidential information, Uchiha Yue had to inform Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki immediately.

Immediately afterwards...

After Uchiha Yue returned to his house in Licorice Town, he told Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze everything that had happened at the front.

Then, Uchiha Yue frowned slightly at Kushina Uzumaki in front of him and asked, "Yue, do you feel that the demon from Sunagakure was telling the truth?"

"It should be right!"

Meeting Kushina Uzumaki's suspicious gaze, Uchiha Yue didn't hesitate for a moment, saying directly, "Sasori of the Red Sands has no reason to lie to me, especially since we haven't heard from Hizashi- san for a whole month. If I'm not mistaken, those guys from Sunagakure did capture two of Hizashi's men alive, with only one escaping back to the Land of Land of Fire. Now, even we're not safe here; we must evacuate immediately!"

"Moon Lord is right, let's prepare to leave now!"

As soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Minato Namikaze nodded slightly and said, "Tsuki-kun, Lily hasn't received any ninja training, so you'll be in charge of protecting Lily and taking her with you on this journey. We only have five minutes to pack. Kushina, you'll be responsible for destroying any traces of us in Licorice Town. If necessary, destroy both houses we stayed in!"

"Yes!"

When they arrived at Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki gave each other a reply and then began to carry out their assigned tasks. However, Uchiha Yue didn't have anything else in Licorice Town, and he had just finished packing his ninja tool bag, so he only needed to carry his Ghost Tiger on his back.

However, just as Uchiha Yue was about to leave with Yuri Kurama, he suddenly saw Yuri Kurama kneeling there, sobbing.

"Lily, what's wrong?"

Suddenly noticing Yuri Kurama kneeling there crying, Uchiha Yue frowned slightly, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

As expected, Uchiha Yue's guess was entirely correct. Just as he finished speaking, Yuri Kurama wiped away the tears streaming from the corners of her eyes and choked out, "Yue... Yue-kun, I just sensed that Father and Mother's life force had vanished! If the person you were fighting just now was telling the truth, then the people captured by the Sunagakure ninjas were very likely my Father and Mother. They were killed by the Sunagakure ninjas!"

Lily, please accept my condolences!

Clearly, each clan's ninja possesses a secret technique that allows them to sense the life force of their loved ones. The Kurama Clan, for example, has such a technique, which is why Yuri Kurama, even without ninja training, could sense the life force of Shichen Kurama and Yepu Kurama. Then, just as Uchiha Yue was crouching there comforting Yuri Kurama, Kushina Uzumaki suddenly appeared, and immediately exclaimed anxiously, "Tsuki, we must leave immediately!"

"You're right, those guys from Sunagakure have surrounded Licorice Town!"
