Three days later.
"No, this is terrible! Lord Tsuchikage, Iwagakure has been attacked by a large number of unidentified ninjas, claiming to be from some Sea Capital, and led by Kakashi, the former Konoha Blue Fang."
" Lord Raikage, something terrible has happened! Kumogakure has been attacked, and the leader is Minato Namikaze!"
" Lord Hokage, Konoha has been attacked! It's the missing-nin Orochimaru leading the attack."
Three urgent dispatches have arrived at the Allied Shinobi Forces headquarters.
Only the Kazekage was still foolishly waiting for news from his own village.
"What about Sunagakure? No news from Sunagakure?"
Gaara looked outside and asked.
"No, not a sound from Sunagakure."
Upon hearing this, Gaara's face turned pale.
He didn't believe that Sunagakure had escaped unscathed. People from other villages would have managed to escape and report the situation, but Sunagakure remained completely silent.
The more likely scenario is the opposite.
"Damn it, what's going on? Where did these people come from?"
Ai angrily slammed his fist on the table, smashing it, and stood up to demand an explanation.
"These people all left with Minazuki Yuzuru, so their sudden reappearance suggests a problem in the Land of Water."
Jiraiya couldn't help but begin to have doubts.
"Did they fail? Did the United Sea Region Academy fail?"
"The most urgent thing is to get back to the village as soon as possible, Lord Raikage."
" Lord Tsuchikage, you too, Iwagakure won't be able to hold out for much longer."
The group exchanged glances, Ōnoki was the first to stand up. "I have to go back now, I'm very sorry. I'll come back after I've dealt with the situation in the village."
"Me too, damn it Minazuki Yuzuru, can't you just shut up for once?"
Ai also got up and left.
" Jiraiya, the Allied Shinobi Forces can't be without a commander. I'll stay here; you take your men back first."
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately spoke to Jiraiya.
"I understand, old man."
"What happened? Contact them immediately Summoning Technique."
"Um."
Jiraiya quickly led his men away, Gaara eventually decided to return as well.
A day later, when Gaara rushed back to Sunagakure at full speed, he was completely shocked by what he saw.
Sunagakure is completely finished. The village walls have disappeared, and all the iconic buildings of Iwagakure are gone.
"It's Kazekage back, Temari. Let's go out and greet him."
Pakura looked at Temari and said.
"Yes, Lord Pakura."
Once outside, Temari saw Gaara again.
Several years later, she saw her younger brother again.
Gaara also recognized Temari.
"Elder sister?"
Gaara.
"Why is this happening, sister? Aren't you in the Land of Water...?"
At that moment, Gaara seemed to understand something.
"Give up, Gaara. Lord Yuzuru and the Land of Water are beyond your reach. The age of ninjas is over. Lord Yuzuru, can you lead our Sunagakure out of this poverty?"
Hearing this, Gaara looked at her in disbelief, "Sister?"
"Kid, Temari is right. I suggest you surrender as soon as possible, otherwise, what awaits you won't be the peaceful conversation you're having now."
Pakura patted Temari and said with a smile.
"You are... Lord Pakura!"
Beside Gaara, an older Anbu recognized Pakura.
"Oh? I didn't expect anyone to still recognize me. But that's all in the past."
Pakura looked at him with a slight smile, but her eyes remained cold.
"Three minutes. You have three minutes to discuss this. After three minutes, anyone who doesn't surrender will be dealt with on the spot."
Pakura made a hand gesture, and instantly, a squad of well-equipped soldiers surrounded them.
Unlike traditional ninjas, these people are covered in scientific protective gear and carry special firearms that can not only fire bullets but also unleash various Ninjutsu.
The cold muzzle of the gun instilled a sense of murderous intent and fear in everyone.
" Gaara, give up. You have no idea how powerful the Sea Capital is, or what the ninjas have to face."
"Elder sister."
Gaara looked at Temari, then at the people around him, his eyes filled with pain.
"But I am, the Fifth Kazekage!"
"Enough, Gaara. The Kage is nothing to be proud of. The Sea Capital and the Land of Water abolished the ninja system ten years ago."
Whether it's the ninja villages, the daimyo, the nobles, or the Kage, they've all vanished; there's nothing left to remember them by.
Gaara, you are still young. You should have a new life, not spend it as a dirty ninja in this filthy old era.
Temari looked at Gaara and said.
" Little Temari is right. Ninjas, ninja villages, Kage—all that nonsense should have been thrown in the trash long ago. Only you guys still keep them. But it's precisely because you keep them that you're so weak and incompetent."
Pakura placed her Temari's shoulders, smiling as she looked at the Sand Ninja.
In the past, she might have had some feelings for Sunagakure, but those feelings shattered the day she was abandoned. Besides, she had lived in Sea Capital for so long and had her own little man—no, now he's a grown man.
The thought of living a carefree life with Yuzuru after the war made Pakura impatient.
"Alright, stop wasting my time. Seal their Chakra, then tie them all up. Kill any who resist on the spot. As for this young Kazekage..."
Looking at Temari, Pakura sighed helplessly and ruffled her hair.
"Don't worry, I won't kill him, but you'd better keep an eye on him."
"Yes, Lord Pakura!"
Temari nodded quickly.
Just then, one of the Anbu Captain who refused to surrender shouted angrily, " Pakura, have you forgotten your honor as a ninja?"
Upon hearing this, Pakura looked at him in shock, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"I might not have heard you clearly. Say it again, what honor?"
"You were once Sand Ninja, why would you kill your former comrade?"
Pakura looked at him, pondering for a long time.
Just when everyone thought Pakura had been persuaded to some extent, Pakura turned to Temari, "Is this guy scared out of his wits?"
"What 'ninja glory'? A bunch of lowlifes, they actually have this concept of glory?"
Pakura shook her head. "I only feel disgusted and ashamed of having been a ninja. The feeling of abandoning all morality and having no bottom line is truly disgusting now that I think about it. I'm increasingly envious of Yuzuru."
Pakura waved his hand, and then one of the soldiers fired a shot, the bullet immediately piercing the man's chest.
"Look, ninjas and civilians alike, their blood is red, and they all only have one life. But the ninja's heart is tainted."
Pakura turned and left. "Clean up the Land of Wind. In a month, I want to see all the major towns and villages submit. We were the first to end the war; don't disappoint the President and Lord Yuzuru."
"Yes!"
