The Sunagakure ninja's main force was out, leaving their internal strength depleted. They couldn't even send a capable ninja to defend against aerial attacks, let alone launch a counterattack.
After collapsing the office building and destroying countless documents, Haori then targeted what was likely a ninja hospital.
Then the next one…
Suna was engulfed in flames of war.
From the first target, Haori's main goal was to destroy the enemy's important facilities. Personnel casualties were secondary.
But it was impossible to completely destroy Suna. After all, the Eight-legged Crow had been attacking on the battlefield for a long time, consuming a lot of chakra. Now, after bombing Suna, it was already a bit strained.
Its chakra was limited. Haori needed to maintain enough chakra for the Eight-legged Crow to fly back to the Leaf Village's base. Otherwise, if the Eight-legged Crow's chakra ran out and the summoning was dispelled, he would definitely fall into the heart of the Land of Wind. Considering that he had just done so many unfriendly things, the enemy would definitely swarm down and warmly welcome him…
(ShixT9: Warm welcome)
So, after destroying several of the largest buildings, Haori didn't linger. He left Suna without hesitation and flew back.
Ten hours of round trip, 10 minutes of bombing. By the time Haori flew back, the sky was already turning dark. The battle on the battlefield had also ended.
If he could lower his flight altitude, he would be able to spot the small groups of Suna ninjas retreating. This was the fate of the defeated.
Haori was indeed a variable on the battlefield. This variable was unexpected, even to him. He had played a significant role on the battlefield, but the real deciding factor was the imbalance of power between the two sides. The Hokage, leading his direct subordinates, were all elite ninjas. They had an overall combat strength advantage over the Suna ninjas.
Not only was the Third Hokage's personal combat strength amazing, but the individuals he brought with him were also not bad.
On the front line, the Kazekage was defeated by the Third Hokage. But with the support of Chiyo and Ebisu and the Suna ninjas' desperate defense, he was able to safely retreat from the battlefield, although he looked a little disheveled.
The Leaf Village didn't blindly pursue, attempting to expand their gains. Their strategic goal had been achieved. After this war, the Suna ninjas should understand that they couldn't simultaneously resist Iwa and the Leaf Village.
The Land of Wind had always coveted the fertile lands of the Land of Fire, but the Land of Fire wasn't very interested in the Land of Wind. The one who really wanted to invade the Land of Wind was Iwa.
To be honest, in terms of the war situation, the Suna ninjas invaded the Land of Fire, so the Leaf Village counterattacked. And Iwa invaded the Land of Wind, so the Suna ninjas counterattacked.
In terms of priority and threat, Iwa was the Suna ninja's first enemy.
So, the Kazekage's choice now was basically only one: to sue for peace with the Leaf Village.
Perhaps before returning to Suna, the Kazekage still had the intention to regroup and resist. But when he saw the smoke rising from the sky above Suna from a distance, he instantly understood.
The thick darkness couldn't hide the flames rising from Suna.
Even the village had been attacked and destroyed. The battle between Suna and the Leaf Village should really end.
He rushed back to Suna, and the Kazekage knew that his bad guess was right. The village had been attacked.
Burning buildings, weeping sounds, busy figures rushing to rescue and put out fires… none of this was what the Kazekage wanted to see.
The Kazekage brought back news of the defeat on the front line. In return, the ninjas guarding the village described the attack in detail.
Then, the Kazekage roughly understood. This was the work of the Leaf Village ninja who had been flying around in the sky, almost dropping bombs on his head.
At that time, Suna was busy rescuing the injured. Afterwards, the air raid had a profound impact on Suna's defense system and strategic and tactical thinking.
From then on, Suna invested heavily in the development and research of aerial defense barriers and long-range anti-air weapons. They not only wanted to hit high, but also hit far and hit accurately.
Their research was very successful.
Later, this success was verified.
Because one day, an arrogant ninja named Deidara flew a clay bird and invaded Suna, but unfortunately, as soon as he entered Suna's airspace, he was detected by Suna's reconnaissance barrier. Then, his clay bird was easily shot into a sieve by Suna's anti-air weapons.
Deidara, falling from the sky, didn't know that this was a pit dug by someone n years ago.
(ShixT9: Poor guy,)
Some things you don't need to ask, some people you don't need to wait for. Many details have been buried, memories flow back like a river. Who is responsible for this…
I'm the one who dug the pit. I didn't tell you it was me.
Cough, that's all for later. By the time Haori flew back to the Leaf Village's base, he found that the Leaf Village ninjas were already cleaning up the battlefield and treating the wounded.
The Suna ninjas who had luckily survived were all handed over to the interrogation team. They would extract intelligence if they could, and they would be merciless if they needed to. The interrogation team certainly didn't know the word "mercy."
As for the enemies who looked like they wouldn't survive, but were still clinging to life, the Leaf Village ninjas would kindly go up and give them a finishing blow.
This was all the finishing work after the war. After years of war, the Leaf Village had already established a standard process. Everything was done quickly and efficiently.
Haori timed the Eight-legged Crow's summoning duration precisely. By the time he reached the battlefield, it was almost time for it to return to the summoning space.
The bird had worked very hard today. Its chakra was basically bottomed out.
The Eight-legged Crow's huge figure appeared in the evening sky, in the sight of the Leaf Village ninjas. Its hoarse and strange bird call also reached the ears of the Leaf Village ninjas.
Seeing it from afar and seeing it up close gave people completely different feelings. From afar, it was flying very gracefully. Up close, it looked very ferocious.
In short, the appearance of the Eight-legged Crow made the Leaf Village ninjas nervous, but they quickly realized that it was their own combat power. And everyone had witnessed the contribution of this summoning beast and its summoning ninja today.
The Eight-legged Crow lowered its altitude. The Leaf Village ninjas could clearly see its strange, single leg under its belly. Some people instinctively ducked, as if the bird could hook their heads with its claws.
But when it was about seven or eight meters off the ground, there was a sudden, soundless "poof," and then Haori felt his feet suddenly disappear. Then, a feeling of weightlessness came over him.
The Eight-legged Crow's summoning was dispelled.
He had timed the summoning duration… It didn't seem very precise, is it?
