The battle ended and the Uzumaki clan army under Tsuji Uzumaki was able to begin taking control of the city of Sakai.
Inside the city of Sakai, civilians gradually began to emerge from their homes and watched with amazement and fear as the ninjas of the Uzumaki clan appeared.
But although they were afraid of the enemy army, they were also somewhat grateful because they were defended from the mercenaries who were invading their homes.
In many cases, many women were saved from being raped.
And in cases where they didn't arrive in time, they gave them the revenge they needed by killing the rapists.
As time passed, the civilians began to worry about what the invading clan's army would do.
"Mom, I'm hungry," a little girl said to her mother as they watched ninjas patrolling the streets through the window of their small house.
"Me too, Mom," said a younger boy next to the girl.
Looking at her children, the mother felt bitterness about the situation.
Since the curfew was imposed, they haven't been able to go out to buy food. And the little food the authorities distributed was very small, and they've always been hungry.
Faced with this situation, her husband went out to try to buy some food for his family, but they took his money and took him to jail when he tried to defend himself.
Now without money, without food, and with her husband in jail, the woman didn't know what to do, and tears escaped from her eyes.
"Mom," the children said and hugged their mother, who could only kneel down and hug her children and try not to cry.
Account! Account! Account! Account!
Suddenly, the three of them looked up when bell sounds rang in the street.
Curious, the mother went out to look again at the window and watched with curiosity several metal carts moving on wheels without needing to be pulled by horses.
The woman could hear the sounds of bells from the metal carts, but she couldn't see where the bells were.
The woman's curiosity about where the bell was was interrupted when a loud voice came out again from the metal cars and was heard not only by her, but also by all her neighbors.
"Attention!"
"We're distributing food if you need it!"
"It's free!"
"Attention!"
"We're distributing food if you need it!"
"It's free!"
"Attention!"
"We're distributing food if you need it!"
"It's free!"
One of the cars stopped in the middle of the street while the others continued on their way as the free food announcement continued to be heard.
The woman heard what they were saying, but she couldn't easily believe if it was true.
But the woman had no doubts for a long time.
The woman saw one of her neighbors come out of her house and approach the metal cart.
The woman, watching everything from her window, was able to identify her neighbor, a woman with 5 children whose husband died a couple of years ago.
The woman saw her neighbor cautiously approach the metal cart where a group of uniformed men, whom she recognized as the invading army, greeted her and gave her a plate that she assumed was food.
The woman saw her neighbor exchange a few words with the men before her neighbor turned to look at her house and shouted, calling for her children.
Shortly afterwards, 5 children ran out and joined their mother, where the men also served them food.
And this started an avalanche of people who left their homes to eat a plate of food.
The woman at the window was no exception and also left her house with her children to receive a plate of food.
"Mom, this is delicious"
"Yes, it's delicious," said the children, and their mother smiled as she watched them happily eating.
The woman didn't know how long this was going to last, but she hoped it would last a long time.
Looking around, the woman noticed that on other streets there were also metal cars and people gathering around them.
Seeing this, the woman wondered if they were giving away food to the entire city.
And the answer to this was yes.
This didn't only happen in this place, as the whole city was filled with these metal carts serving food.
But this was not a concern for the woman, as she inevitably could not stop thinking about her husband and hoped to go and look for him first thing tomorrow morning at the jail and hope that the new masters of the city would release him.
But it wasn't necessary.
Hours later, just as dawn broke, the woman saw her husband at the door of her house with disbelief and happiness.
"Dear!"
She immediately ran to hug him while crying with joy, and her children came over when they heard their mother scream.
"Dad!" and they too shouted as they ran to hug their father.
It was shortly after that the woman learned from her husband that the Uzumaki clan had freed many of the prisoners in the city's jails, and he was among them.
Only a few remained, as they were truly criminals.
While the family was happy after reuniting, many other families in the city felt the same way.
After defending them from the mercenaries who were supposed to protect and feed them, the city's population posed no problems to the invading ninjas, so the Uzumaki clan easily took control of Sakai City.
What the local population did not know was that the city of Sakai is not the only city that the Uzumaki clan has taken control of on the continent.
The city of Akizuki in the Land of Wind and the city of Iwakura in the Land of Earth had also been taken in a single night, taking the 3 countries by surprise and starting World War II.

When civilians heard about the Uzumaki clan taking over 3 cities on the continent in a single night, they were taken by surprise.
But those who were most surprised were the top officials of the 3 countries.
After all, they had their spies keeping a close eye on the movements surrounding the Uzumaki clan and didn't get any news of the attack until it was too late.
They literally got up in the morning to have breakfast and shortly afterwards learned that they had lost communication with those cities.
They quickly set to work trying to counterattack and didn't care that their spies sent reports that they didn't see the Uzumaki clan leave their territory.
While the monks of the 3 temples remained vigilant in the capitals and the 3 villages, the Daimyo and Kages received information from the 3 fallen cities that they had shared with each other.
To begin with, a huge barrier has covered the 3 cities and no one has been able to pass through them.
Whether by force or by trying to create a breach, no one has obtained results.
The ninjas used the hundreds of explosive tags they had at hand, and were only able to create cracks that were repaired in seconds.
All their seal masters were lost trying to decipher these barriers and had nothing but praise for these barriers and who built them.
According to them, only by using extremely powerful attacks or thousands of explosive tags could they have a chance of breaching these barriers.
But how could the villages dare to use so many explosive tags without the assurance of taking down these barriers?
Each explosive tag cost thousands of Ryo and they weren't rich to begin with.
They could only rely on their sealing masters, but even they could do nothing.
Especially when they saw that the barrier originated from 4 structures surrounding the city, and they could only assume that the secret of these barriers was hidden inside.
Unfortunately for them, these structures were also protected by the barrier.
Without guessing that these structures were actually flying warships, they all accelerated recruitment for their armies, although most were ordinary people.

"Are you sure it will work?" the Lightning Daimyo asked the monk in front of him.
Basho is the leading monk of the lightning temple, and the one who had been in charge of the sacrificial seals that protected the capital while awaiting the arrival of Gin Uzumaki.
Facing them was Taisuke, a Jonin sent by the Third Raikage when the head monk of the Lightning Temple reported that he had a way to win this war.
Although the Third Raikage is skeptical, he sends one of his trusted jonin to meet with the monk of the Lightning Temple and the Daimyo.
"And"
"In this situation where the peace and harmony of the world is in danger, we monks have to help stop this threat," said Basho, acting in a righteous and honest manner, as if he were the savior of the world.
Looking at the monk in front of them acting as if he were someone noble, the two men in front of him grimaced inwardly as they thought that these monks would only act that way because they were in danger.
But all the same, they couldn't help but look at these monks differently and re-evaluate these bald guys.
After all, if what Basho said was true, these monks would be very dangerous.
Wanting to know if what the monk said was true, they gathered a few test subjects.
