———————————————————

High above where the ambush would take place, Sunagakure's Puppet Unit waited. Sasori who led the unit remained in the center of the formation, hidden inside Hiruko, the image Sasori presented to the public during missions.

The battlefield stretching out below him was where the battle would begin and end with one side defeated and the other victorious.

"Sasori-sama, all preparations are positioned as you ordered. They will activate as soon as you give the command," a man said, approaching Sasori's location.

"Well done. Alert everyone to prepare their puppets and the kunai and shurikens launchers. Our part of the plan must be a success," Sasori replied though his voice was completely different from his original one.

Down in the passage, Pakura and her squad remained hidden everyone waiting for the exact moment to strike.

And Rasa, along with Arata, watched from afar waiting for the Iwa ninjas to arrive.

With the Iwa ninjas

They seemed quite confident thanks to the large army marching at a normal pace.

The one leading the attack this time wasn't Kitsuchi as expected, but the second-in-command the leader of the Kamizuru clan, Kamizuru Horun.

"Horun-sama, as we thought, the Suna ninjas seem to have abandoned all defense in the north and are hiding like rats," one of the Iwa ninjas said.

"Yes plus we have enough shinobi to wipe out any squad. So I don't see the problem with attacking their main base directly," another commented.

Horun ignored his subordinates' words and continued walking.

He had to complete this mission like the others and make his clan increase in power within the village. Despite there not being many clans in Iwa, these clans weren't so important to the village.

And that bothered Horun he wanted the village to need his clan the way Konoha needed the Aburame. That's why he entered this war to prove how strong they were.

Along the entire path, there had been no problems even encountering some merchants who ended up dead for refusing to leave their belongings.

And his bees remained calm until they reached this place.

Though it was near the desert, this mountain being part of the border held morning mist that covered the upper part, making it the perfect place for an army to pass undetected.

That's why he had come this way though his bees didn't seem happy.

"Leader, your hive is also agitated," another clan member asked, approaching.

"Yes I thought I was the only one. It could be due to the climate change to the heat," Horun said.

At his words, the clan simply nodded and continued walking without thinking more about it until the first ninjas of the army seemed to touch something, and a violet smoke bomb exploded.

The reaction of the explosion seemed to trigger a chain of explosives, and more violet smoke began spreading.

The entire chaos left the Iwa ninjas confused until the sound of objects cutting through the wind made them look up and see a rain of sharp metal descending to end their lives.

Most ninjas with quick reflexes managed to create an earth jutsu to defend themselves though the slower ones were simply pierced by the kunai, falling one after another.

Meanwhile, those who had saved themselves from the kunai rain with stone domes began feeling blood dripping from their noses and mouths.

Realizing that the smoke wasn't just to hide enemy traces but was poison.

"It's fast-dispersing poison! Use Fūton to clear the air!" Horun warned, covering his nose with his cloak while performing hand seals at furious speed. "Don't bunch up! Seek higher ground!"

But the higher ground already belonged to Sunagakure.

From the dense morning mist crowning the cliffs, the figure of Hiruko rose like a wooden and metal gargoyle.

"Too late," Sasori's distorted voice murmured through the puppet. "Activate the second phase. Don't let the poison go to waste finish off the weakened enemies."

At his order, fifty Suna puppeteers emerged from the mountain peaks. In unison, they opened the compartments of their puppets, revealing compressed air cannons and rotating launchers.

A second rain this time of senbon coated in slow-acting poison descended upon the Iwa army. The Rock ninjas, desperate, struck the ground.

"Doton: Doryūheki! (Earth Release: Earth Wall)," dozens of voices shouted.

More solid stone walls rose to intercept the projectiles.

Below, at the exit of the passage, Pakura watched the burst of purple poison. Heat began radiating from her body, distorting the air around her.

"That's our signal. Don't let any escape through this side," Pakura ordered her squad.

"Shakuton: Kajōshō! (Scorch Release: Overheated Massacre)"

Three incandescent orange spheres appeared around her, spinning with fury. Pakura launched into the attack, crossing the distance in a blink. When she intercepted the first line of Iwa ninjas trying to flee from Sasori's gas, the result was terrifying. Upon contact with her spheres, the water inside the Iwa shinobi's bodies evaporated instantly.

Their screams cut off short as their bodies turned into desiccated mummies that crumbled under the desert wind.

"Damn it! They've got us surrounded!" shouted an Iwa officer before one of Pakura's spheres pierced his chest, leaving him as an empty husk.

Though Pakura's squad hadn't just come to watch everything they took advantage, lining up and beginning hand seals.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough," five Suna ninjas said in unison.

Then Pakura's voice rang out.

"Shakuton: Taiyō no Arashi (Scorch Release: Solar Storm)"

the strong winds of the Suna ninjas and the exploding heat spheres combined make the previous intense heat of Shakuton now hotter and much harder to avoid due to its wide range.

The Heat wave can hitting everything and scorching anything in his way

A large part of Iwa's forces received the blowfeeling as if their bodies were being struck by the sun itself.

While those who survived wished they had died upon seeing the severe burns on their bodies.

Horun watching how his ambition for glory turned into carnage and ashes bit his thumb and struck the ground.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu! (Summoning Technique)," he exclaimed.

A burst of smoke revealed a queen bee the size of a small house. Its wings generated a wind blast so powerful it dispersed a large part of Sasori's purple smoke and Pakura's heat jutsu.

"Suna will pay for this insult! Honey Needle Swarm!" Horun ordered. Thousands of chakra-charged bees fired hardened stingers toward the upper area where the Puppet Unit was hidden.

Sasori from inside Hiruko didn't flinch. He activated the mechanism of his armor's metal tail, deflecting the needles with mechanical speed.

"Unsettling… but predictable," Sasori thought.

Meanwhile, at Suna's rear guard, Rasa observed the battle from an elevated point. Beside him, Arata rhythmically tapped his canteen with a wild smile showing his sharp teeth. Shukaku's chakra began seeping through his pores, stirring the sand at his feet.

"Rasa, that giant bee is making too much noise. Let me go crush it," Arata requested, his raccoon marks glowing intensely.

"Wait, Arata," Rasa replied his Gold Dust floating in the air like a golden mist.

"The plan was to wait until a jinchūriki appeared. Currently, the war is won if we continue like this. Iwa has more troops in reserve. If you use your energy now, you won't be able to stop the jinchūriki when they arrive."

"I don't give a damn about the plan! Look at Pakura she's taking all the fun!" Arata shouted, pointing toward the bottom of the canyon where heat explosions illuminated the mist and forced the queen bee to retreat.

Suddenly, from afar, a figure approached the battlefield at full speed.

The speed seemed to increase as what looked like smoke trailed from the person the faster they went.

"Looks like your wishes have come true, Arata," Rasa said, assuming a combat stance.

"He's here. The Five-Tails jinchūriki has arrived."

In the canyon, Sasori and Pakura fought to keep the battle in their favor against Horun and his bees. Sasori deployed his six special puppets.

Which instead of weapons used chakra threads like knives that cut the wings of Horun's insects, while Pakura incinerated any attempt at a defensive formation.

"You won't be able to maintain that heat forever, Pakura! I'll defeat you along with my bees," Horun shouted, throwing an explosive honey vial that Pakura dodged with a Kawarimi.

"I have enough reserves to last days without tiring," she replied, summoning a fourth sphere. "And this time I'll burn you all until you disappear including the members of your clan."

Despite the numerical advantage of the Iwa ninjas everything had changed in the face of the planned attack, leaving the situation as a long-term victory for Suna, with Horou being the only threat, whom Sasori and Pakura must stop.

No far away where Rasa and Arata caught the direction Han approach at full speed.

They didn't let him join the battle cutting off his path and forcing him to stop.

"Rasa, get out of my way. I don't want to waste time with you especially not when you brought a kid," Han said, his voice rough with his mask and armored .

"It's a shame but you won't pass from here. We're here to stop you, so don't waste more words," Rasa said controlling a mass of Gold sand to attack Han.

Who with his special armored dodged the attack using the Five-Tails' power, the steam enhancing his speed.

Though not only that he went straight toward Rasa, launching a powerful kick that was blocked by a sand shield.

Who was Arata making his chakra start going crazy to a large amount began pouring from Arata's body transforming half his body into sand in what looked like a raccoon and lunging to attack, though Han escaped again using his speed

"So Suna has a new jinchūriki," Han said, serious while no wasting time forming hand seals.

"Suiton: Suigandan (Water Release: hot Water jet cannon)," Han said stretching both arms as a powerful jet of hot water burst from his armor toward Arata who quickly created a sand wall to block.

Though to his surprise, the jet was strong

enough to pierce his defense and send him flying from the impact hitting him in the chest.

Rasa who observed this and seeing the power of the jet assured himself he would never defend against it and would only evade.

Though that wouldn't happen now he used his sand to begin levitating in the air, preparing his next attack that would be much harder for Han to dodge.

"Sakin: Kaisōretsu (Gold sand: Mass Union)," Rasa said.

Waves of Gold Dust formed to attack Han who began moving to dodge but the waves of sand seemed to care little, continuing to pursue him.

"You leave me no choice," Han said as steam began filling around him, creating a mist that prevented Rasa in the air from seeing him.

Without sight of him, Rasa took advantage of the Gold Dust to create large spear figures in the air ready for when Han revealed himself.

And it didn't take long as with even greater speed than before, Han leaped from the ground toward Rasa who surprised though prepared launched his gold spears toward him.

"Futton: Kairiki Musō (Vapor: Unmatched Strength)," Han said striking with all his strength the first spear.

The spear touching Han punch got Destroy making its form go back to sand and stopping the attack

He didn't stop there he did the same to the other spears until reaching Rasa who seeing the attack raised a triple shield to block and escape.

But it was useless Han's steam-reinforced fist shattered it all three of them and the next one was aimed straight to his face

Though a sand tentacle saved him grabbing Han and slamming him into the ground.

Then a shrill laugh rang out.

"Gyahahahaha! Arata I show you the right way to my power so you can use it! Though for now, I'll have fun myself isn't that right, Gobi?" Shukaku said beginning to form into his bijū shape.

While his laugh and crazy shout keep going making Han get more serious and Rasa ready to help Arata
