-------------------------------------------------------------

As time slowly passed, the pitch-black night seemed to gradually retreat, as though a ferocious demon had temporarily withdrawn its savage claws.

A pale glimmer appeared on the horizon, and the moon that once hung high in the night sky transformed into a faint crescent. 

However, on the ground, this unprecedented invasion war was only now revealing its true ferocity to the world.

In the forest surrounding Konoha, a massive force of Iwagakure and Sunagakure ninja, previously lying in wait, finally emerged from the darkness to confront Konoha's defenders head-on. 

With this, the war escalated instantly, and the casualties and fatalities on both sides soared. 

Under the first light of dawn, the forest shrouded in thin mist was painted red with blood. 

The branches, ground, and leaves were stained with blotches and pools of crimson, silently narrating the stories of countless lives lost. 

At that moment— 

Swish! Swish! Swish! 

Amidst the dense forest, hurried movements suddenly broke the silence, growing closer and closer. 

Crash! 

From the edge of the towering trees, a blood-covered ninja suddenly leaped out! 

Upon landing, he didn't even glance back and continued running forward, his face tense and filled with grim determination. 

But just as he took a few steps, a deep voice came from the forest behind him. 

"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Concealment Technique!"

Crack! Crack! 

With a dull rumble, a straight trench several meters wide appeared on the ground, with the earth churning outward, racing toward the fleeing ninja. 

Hearing the commotion behind him, the blood-covered ninja glanced back, his eyes narrowing in shock. 

"What!?" 

Boom! Boom! Boom! 

The trench abruptly erupted with a deafening noise, sending dust flying everywhere. From within, several shadowy figures leaped out. 

Like agile panthers in the forest, the dark silhouettes swiftly charged toward the exhausted and injured ninja. 

The glinting blades in their hands, cold and sharp, seemed eager to taste fresh blood. 

Facing a near-certain death, the weary ninja finally ceased running. His face showed fatigue and despair as he muttered under his breath. 

"So... this is where it ends." 

Just as the Iwa ninja closed in, their faces already twisted into cruel smiles— 

Whoosh! 

A sharp sound suddenly pierced the air! 

Clang! 

Crackle! 

A ninja blade shot through the air like a fierce gale, embedding itself firmly in the ground in front of the wounded ninja. Immediately, intense electrical currents erupted from the blade, spreading outward with a sharp, crackling noise! 

The Iwa ninja frowned and quickly halted their advance, retreating cautiously. 

The Konoha ninja, who had braced himself for death, opened his eyes slightly, stunned by the unexpected turn of events. 

The Iwa ninja scanned the surroundings warily, their expressions darkening. 

"Kaaw—" 

From the morning sky, a massive white bird suddenly let out a piercing cry, drawing everyone's attention. 

"There, look!" One of the Iwa ninja pointed to the sky, his pupils contracting. 

Everyone turned their gaze upward, where several small black figures seemed to detach from the white bird, descending rapidly toward their location. 

The Iwa ninja exchanged uneasy glances, their faces grim. Who are these people? Could they be reinforcements from Konoha? 

As they hesitated, the figures in the air plummeted closer and closer. 

The Iwa squad leader's face darkened as he glanced at his comrades and muttered, "No matter who they are, if they dare to oppose us, we'll eliminate them first!" 

Following his orders, the Iwa ninja began forming hand seals. 

"Earth Style: Earth Mausoleum Dango!" 

"Earth Style: Rock Pillar Spear!" 

"Earth Style: Rising Earth Spikes!" 

With their techniques completed, countless stone projectiles and spears erupted from the ground, shooting toward the descending figures in a massive barrage, creating a spectacular but deadly display. 

The exhausted Konoha ninja watched anxiously, worry etched on his face. Though he didn't know who the newcomers were, since they had intervened to save him, he hoped they had some connection to Konoha. He didn't want to see them die because of him. 

Amidst the storm of stone projectiles, the three figures descending from the sky remained calm, even chatting leisurely. 

"Judging by the situation, Konoha is definitely at a disadvantage," said a muscular, dark-skinned young man in a deep voice. 

"Which is exactly why Lord Raikage sent us here," replied another young man with braided hair, his eyes glinting with a hint of amusement. "Although I'd prefer to see Konoha and Iwa destroy each other, I trust Raikage-sama's judgment." 

The shortest of the three, a stout boy wearing sunglasses, nodded and added, "After all, our village has a treaty with Konoha. If they're attacked, we're obligated to assist." 

The muscular man smirked mockingly and growled, "Do these Iwa ninja think we're as weak as Konoha? Darui, Bee, let's make this interesting—let's see who can take out the most of them!" 

The braided man, Darui, smirked and said lightly, "Oh? If it's about taking out enemies, I'm pretty confident in my abilities." 

Bee, the youngest of the group, clenched his blade and retorted firmly, "Big Bro, I may lose to you in a fight, but I won't lose in this competition!" 

The muscular man, Ay, growled in frustration, his temper flaring. 

"You fools! If you're so confident, be prepared for a beating if you lose!" 

As he finished speaking, A's body erupted with a surge of chakra, enveloping him in crackling blue lightning. 

"Lightning Style: Lightning Armor!" 

Seeing A's serious demeanor, both Darui and Bee flinched slightly. Realizing they had provoked his temper, they sighed inwardly. 

This is bad. We really set him off this time. If we don't give it our all, we'll definitely get pummeled later. 

Resolving themselves, the trio prepared for battle. 

As these thoughts flashed through their minds, the storm of stone projectiles closed in.
