Escape From Konoha

In a modest tent within the Suna encampment, Rasa gathered all the high-ranking Jonin, along with Jiraiya and the two Anbu Commanders, Takashi and Masaki, for a meeting.

The remaining Konoha ninjas concealed their whereabouts under Suna's meticulous arrangement. Even if they had to venture outside, they were required to transform into Sand ninjas, guarding their identities closely.

"You all witnessed last night's attack. It seems we still underestimated their surprise attack capabilities."

Rasa expressed, managing to control his anger. Maintaining emotional control was a vital trait for a Kage. As the leader of a ninja village, regardless of the challenges he faced, he couldn't afford to lose his composure, allowing the enemy an advantage. At this point, he found himself grappling more with headaches and helplessness than with anger. The Land of Demons had consistently launched unexpected surprise attacks, causing Suna repeated losses on the battlefield.

Baki's vanguard army faced the Land of Demons' air force, there's a possibility that the whole army was wiped out during the attack. Uchiha Ruri led a large number of ninjas into the Land of Wind silently, catching Suna off guard and putting them at a significant disadvantage.

Despite Rasa's caution and anti-air ballista arrangements, the peculiar mechanical-l8ke puppet from the previous night showcased not only high mobility in flight but also the capability to create explosive light bombs, causing considerable trouble for Suna. While it might not result in casualties, the annoyance of such a threat lingering in the sky was palpable.

Especially unsettling was the bomb's ability to penetrate the ground, a development that left the Kazekage visibly disturbed.

Considering the events of the previous night, it became apparent that the threat extended beyond the air, possibly making even the ground unsafe.

If the Land of Demons focused solely on attacking Suna's resources, it would be a painful and helpless situation for the village.
