<><><><><><>
Konoha has been surrounded by enemies in recent years.
They've not only engaged in intense battles with the Mist Village of the Land of Water but have also ignited conflicts with the Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning and the Rock Village of the Land of Earth.
In the upcoming attack on Konoha by the four major ninja villages, with no First or Second Hokage and even the White Fang, and the Sannin not fully present, what could Konoha use to resist?
The people of the Hidden Sand were also planning to take a bite out of Konoha during the chaos and benefit themselves.
With the Hidden Sand formally joining the war, the fate of all five major ninja villages was sealed, and the Third Great Ninja War officially began.
Following this, chaos spread globally. Even in Roran, there were occasional encounters with wandering ninjas, scattered army ninjas, and bandits.
However, the civilians of Roran, though ordinary people, remained unharmed. Having experienced great hardships, the people of Roran were not afraid of ordinary bandits.
As for those ninjas, Roran has the protection of Asahi and Sakumo.
After all, Roran has provided them with logistical support for so many years, and it's only fair for them to lend a helping hand.
Of course, Asahi didn't need to intervene. The current Sakumo could easily deal with ordinary elite Jonin, and the lower-level ninja was like ants in his hands.
After all, after a year of training, Sakumo's Sage Mode could be maintained for an extended period.
Would elite ninjas bother coming to such a remote place? (Dragon Vein Altar)
Naturally, they wouldn't, so Asahi didn't even need to take action.
However, to ensure the safety of Roran and to allow Asahi to focus on his training, Sakumo sent all the invaders to the Pure Land.
Of course, it was partly their greed that led to this outcome. If they had followed the rules and not attacked the civilian and them, Sakumo wouldn't have intervened.
However, this was a common occurrence. After all, in times of war, human nature is suppressed. Rules and regulations don't seem that important during wartime.
Regardless, over time, this region area slowly gained a notorious reputation. Because all the intruding ninjas or bandits disappeared without a trace, not even a bit of information leaked out.
Rumors spread that deep within the desert, there was a haunted territory. Anyone who entered never came out alive.
As the notoriety of this haunted territory grew, fewer and fewer people came to disturb Asahi and the others.
Although occasionally there were a few stubborn individuals who, after breaking in, saw the refugees of Loran as easy prey, wanting to make a fortune.
However, the frequency had decreased significantly compared to the early days of the war.
After all, humans are fearful of the unknown. No one is willing to risk their safety to explore strange things.
With the birth of the invaders, the Queen of Roran, Sara, also came to realize reality.
The so-called ninja would not harm ordinary people. In the end, it was an unwritten rule.
During peacetime, ninjas would still adhere to this unwritten rule. But during times of war, who would be overflowing with kindness?
Whether alive or dead, as powerless ordinary people, Sara and her people had no choice. Everything depended on the ninjas who held absolute power.
So, Sara understood. Only by wielding formidable strength could she better protect Roran.
If she hadn't rejected Asahi at the time, perhaps she could have grown into a ninja with formidable strength over the years!
Maybe, if faced with a ninja invasion, she could defeat the invaders with her power.
Sara often thought about it, but she didn't regret her choice at the beginning, only harboring a slight regret.
After all, at that time, she didn't know that the ninja world during the war would be so chaotic. Her choice at the time was following her own heart.
(A/N: By the way, although Sara's memories were sealed, it only sealed the part related to Naruto. Although there are some gaps in the events before and after, she still remembers when Asahi said he wanted to take her as a disciple.)
However, even if he was well aware of it in his heart, he wouldn't say much. The opportunity was given, whether Sara seized it or not was her matter.
After Roran was attacked, Sara also requested to become Asahi's disciple. However, Asahi rejects her. Some opportunities, once missed, were missed.
Although Asahi didn't take Sara as a disciple, due to his appreciation for her, he imparted the basic chakra training method of the Secret Art Ogami Clan to her.
Subsequently, Sara was arranged by Asahi to become a disciple of Sakumo.
In comparison, Sakumo was full of complaints.
He had no intention of taking on a disciple in the first place, and Asahi insisted on handing her over to him.
Moreover, Sara was not suitable for practicing kenjutsu.
You see, as a master of swordsmanship, what else could he teach her besides sword techniques?
However, because it was Asahi's request, Sakumo reluctantly agreed.
Sara, on the other hand, was very happy.
Although she didn't become Asahi's disciple, she still recognized Sakumo's strength.
From that day on, in Asahi's training ground, in addition to Sakumo as the guardian, there was also Sara coming to practice.
As time passed day by day, Asahi approached the breakthrough.
However, breaking through was like a long-distance race. You've already covered the previous 99%, but it's these last 1% that are the most difficult.
Because Asahi used natural breakthrough by his own effort with the help of Dragon Vein, this last step took him a whopping 6 months.
But hard work pays off. Just over a year after the outbreak of the Great Ninja War, in the 48th year of Konoha, Asahi finally broke through.
On this day, while Sakumo was guiding Sara in her training, a terrifying pressure suddenly came.
At this moment, even someone as strong as Sakumo felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness, with no way to resist.
Of course, this wasn't intentional on Asahi's part; it was because he had just broken through and couldn't control his own power.
Moreover, since Asahi broke through the Six Paths on his own, rather than relying on external forces like the Ten-Tails, his breakthrough aligned more with the natural laws of the Naruto world, significantly enhancing the pressure.
In ordinary times, he would never release this level of pressure.
