When Kazekage Rasa received the news and arrived at the battle site, he found the ground littered with the bodies of Hidden Sand Village ninja. The enemies had all vanished, leaving no bodies behind.
Seeing this, Rasa couldn't help but yell, "Who is it? If I find out who it is, I'll make sure they have no burial place!"
At the same time, Chiyo, an elder of the Hidden Sand Village, said, "Based on the current situation, we can guess that someone made a deal with Roran. Roran handed over the Ryumyaku, and the person who got the Ryumyaku was to send Roran out of the Land of Wind."
Rasa immediately grew anxious and quickly told his ninja subordinates, "Hurry and find the Roran people! If we find the Roran people, we can find the ones who stole the Ryumyaku!"
However, Chiyo stopped him. Chiyo shook her head and said, "It's not that simple. After a day, the other party will almost be out of the Land of Wind. And even if we catch up, whether we can get it back is another matter. Don't forget, the other party might be from the Leaf Village."
Rasa heard this and felt a surge of anger and frustration. After the Third Great Ninja War, the Hidden Sand Village had signed a treaty with the Leaf Village.
Now, the Hidden Sand Village and the Leaf Village had signed a cooperation treaty. Although the treaty could be torn up, with the Hidden Sand Village's current strength, the Kazekage still didn't dare.
Even if he directly pursued the Roran people, and if the ones who traded with Roran were from the Leaf Village, then he would be in a difficult position. It would be hard to decide whether to demand the Ryumyaku back or not.
It was important to note that the Ryumyaku nominally still belonged to Roran. If Roran traded it away, everyone would accept it, as it was legitimate.
Thinking of this, Rasa couldn't help but curse, "Damn Leaf Village! I'll make the Leaf Village pay for this someday!"
After cursing the Leaf Village, Rasa asked Chiyo, "Are we just going to watch and let the Leaf Village take the Ryumyaku?"
"There's nothing we can do. This year, the Feudal Lord of the Land of Wind again reduced military funding. Our finances this year are even more difficult."
Rasa heard Chiyo's words and fell into thought. This very point was why the Hidden Sand Village's ninja were getting weaker and weaker.
Originally, the Land of Wind was located in a desert, with scarce resources and very poor people. This was also why the Land of Wind had tried so hard to attack the Land of Fire before, wanting to occupy a prosperous land in the Land of Fire, but they all failed without exception.
And because they signed a peace treaty with the Leaf Village, in the eyes of the Feudal Lord of the Land of Wind, the Hidden Sand Village temporarily didn't need so much funding. This was also why the Hidden Sand Village's financial income had been getting lower and lower in recent years, already operating at a deficit.
"Sigh, let's all go back."
Rasa sighed, turned around, and headed to the Hidden Sand Village. Under the lingering glow of the sunset, Rasa's back looked particularly desolate.
Meanwhile, Zero, having received news that the Kazekage had returned to the village and was no longer pursuing the Roran people, gathered and hid all the robot soldiers, preventing them from being exposed.
At the same time, she told Sara, "The Hidden Sand Village people have gone back. They're not chasing you anymore. You can rest easy now."
Sara was very happy to hear this. After all, being targeted by one of the five great ninja villages had made her very nervous. Now that the Hidden Sand Village people had gone back, she could finally relax.
After Sara recovered, she focused her attention on her mind, checking the Mechanical Empire's basic information, and also curiously looking at her own character profile.
Yes, that's right. Zero hadn't been idle on the way. She gave Sara a Mechanical Chip, and Zero personally performed the surgery to successfully install the Mechanical Chip.
Sara looked at her character profile.
Name: Sara
Position: Nine Faces, Red Face, Outer Member
Strength: Level 0
Skills: None
Points: 0
Sara looked at her mission panel, then at the third panel, the exchange panel. After careful study, she realized how powerful the Mechanical Empire was.
Similarly, Sara was also looking at the various items in the exchange panel, carefully pondering. She needed some things to protect her people.
Zero sat quietly to the side, waiting for Sara to enter the Land of Rain. Meanwhile, inside the caravan, after realizing they were no longer in danger, they suddenly cheered and shouted.
Although they didn't know where the danger came from or why it was gone, they knew that being alive was the best thing.
Sara looked up and heard the shouts outside, a happy expression on her face. Before, the entire caravan had been in a suppressed atmosphere, which was very uncomfortable.
As time slowly passed, the caravan gradually reached the edge of the Land of Wind. After the caravan left the Land of Wind and entered the Land of Rain.
Sara breathed a sigh of relief. They were finally out of the Land of Wind. Although it was said that no Hidden Sand Village people were chasing them anymore, Sara still couldn't help but overthink while in the Land of Wind.
Now that they were out of the Land of Wind and in the Land of Rain, the danger was greatly reduced. Sara no longer had so many worries and finally let out a sigh.
At the same time, Zero gave Sara her final instructions for this mission. For Sara, this could concern the safety of the Roran people, so Sara listened very carefully.
Then Zero, with her robot soldiers, left the caravan. Just as Zero was about to leave, she looked at Sara and spoke her last words.
"I hope you can complete the mission. Here, I wish you all good fortune in battle."
Zero finished speaking, turned directly, and returned to the Land of Wind, heading to the Hidden Sand Village. She now needed to complete her own mission.
Sara watched Zero's retreating figure, clenched her right fist, placed it over her heart, and saluted in the direction Zero had gone.
After Zero's figure disappeared, Sara stood in front of the caravan and said to the Roran people, "Continue forward, to the capital of the Land of Rain, and start our new life!"
"Yes, Queen!"
With this shout, Sara also returned inside the carriage. At this moment, besides Sara, there were two special robot soldiers inside the carriage, two Level 2 Katana Robot Soldiers.
These were the robot soldiers Zero had left behind to help Sara better complete her mission, and also for Sara to transmit information.
When Sara entered, she looked at the two Katana Robot Soldiers with curiosity. However, after watching for a while, the other party remained motionless, so she grew bored and stopped watching the robot soldiers.
Sitting in the chair, Sara began to think about her mission. Her mission could be said to be very difficult, but also very simple.
She just needed to report information about the Akatsuki. There were no specific intelligence requirements, but if she was discovered, it would be a life-or-death situation.
Fortunately, Zero didn't have Sara join the Akatsuki. Zero's plan was for Sara to become a logistics member of the Akatsuki. After all, Nagato managed the entire Hidden Rain Village and definitely needed management personnel.
And the Akatsuki only had combat personnel, so management personnel had to be recruited from outside, and this didn't even require considering their strength.
Sara also followed Zero's advice. After all, she was confident in her own abilities. As a queen, her management skills were quite good.
As Sara thought, the Roran caravan gradually moved towards the capital of the Land of Rain. At this moment, heavy rain also began to fall, and under the cover of the heavy rain, the Roran caravan gradually disappeared.
