Sāra then recounted how Anrokuzan, the minister of Loran City, had deceived them for the last six years.
He had killed her mother and also attempted to kill Sāra herself.
The team from Konoha had arrived on a mission to capture Anrokuzan.
She didn't know how they knew that Anrokuzan was a criminal, but she was deeply thankful that they had helped her and protected many of their citizens.
The team of Konoha ninjas had gone back this morning, and they were four ninjas in total.
"One was chubby with red hair, another wears dark glasses, and their leader was blonde spiky hair, all dress in Black clothes but I don't know there names," Sāra said, describing the Konoha team she remembered.
"Aren't there four Ninjas from Leaf Village, what about the last 'Genin' one?" Pakura asked, her eyes narrowed slightly at Sāra.
Sāra, despite forgetting about Naruto due to the memory-erasing seal, still remembered him as a savior and didn't want to talk about him, as this was now like a dream for her, not a proper memory.
She hadn't purposely omitted Naruto, but she wasn't sure if the memories of Naruto and Yamato were real or fake, though she strongly believed they were.
She thought about the last member of Team Minato and said, "Yeah, there was another kid around 10. He was sticked with there team leader, aside from that I don't know anything else about them."
She was referring to young Kakashi.
Even Sunagakure thought him a Genin, but in actuality, he was currently a Chunin.
And during 3rd Shinobi War, at age of 12 would even become a Jonin.
Perhaps they hadn't received proper information or didn't want to believe...
Pakura thought, 'It doesn't looks like she is trying to lie, so maybe she really don't know much about them.
But that Genin really has quite a powerful Technique, maybe it's really true that Konoha has many Geniuses.'
The team was listening and observing, not interrupting their conversation.
Then Pakura asked about the Ryūmyaku's energy.
"And... What was that Raw energy your fake minister used to fight against those Konoha Ninja's and your people?" she inquired.
Hearing this question, Sāra was a little reluctant to speak.
But she knew she couldn't make an enemy out of Sunagakure; they might even kill her people, which she herself didn't want.
After some thought, she said, "I would like to talk to you alone."
Pakura agreed.
Sāra told her to go to the center of the City.
Even though the team consisted entirely of Sunagakure Ninjas, she still didn't feel right talking about Ryūmyaku openly.
A few guards and citizens behind her tried to come with her, fearing that Pakura might do something to her.
But Sāra stopped them.
"Sarai, Masako, and all, you didn't need to worry," she said, reassuring them.
"I will be safe."
Just like her, her people also cared about her a lot.
Even if the city was ruined, they still had respect for their Queen, especially after last night, where they learned the full truth...
That it wasn't Sāra who was ordering to take people of City forcefully but Anrokuzan, Minister of Loran.
And how Sāra bravely helped the Konoha Ninjas for and saved many survivors of city who were used by Anrokuzan.
The team also stayed there while Pakura and Sāra conversed.
After half an hour, they returned.
Pakura said to the team, "We are going back, mission is completed."
Then she looked at Sāra, who said, "I await for your response."
Pakura nodded. "Don't worry, Queen Sāra, I will make sure to talk about it with Kazekage-sama," she said, reassuring Sāra.
What they talked and discussed there was known only to them.
This also made the team curious, especially Kaiji and Mukade.
They were eager to get any new news regarding Ryūmyaku.
Though, aside from Kaiji, now only Pakura might know what Ryūmyaku truly was.
The team immediately started their journey back.
Even though the mission was over, as they had gotten the information they needed, Pakura still told the team that they needed to return to the Village immediately and report back to the Kazekage.
Their journey wasn't slow, with enough rest, like a return journey was supposed to be.
During travel, Maki asked out of curiosity, "Sensei, did you make some kind of deal with Queen Sāra?"
Everyone with curious gazes turned to Pakura, awaiting her answer.
Pakura said, "She has make me promise I didn't talk about it to anyone aside from Kazekage-sama, but one thing I can tell you..."
She paused, everyone's gaze intense with curiosity.
She continued, "Survivors of Loran City with her about to migrate somewhere, though they didn't decided yet.
She asked me for help & I promised her to tell there situation to Kazekage-sama and request that village helps them, as they have now lost there City."
Maki said, "Oh!" She, just like the other members, felt pity at the condition of those people of the City.
Hearing this, she felt relieved and happy for them.
"I hope Kazekage-sama helps them," she wished aloud.
Everyone nodded in agreement, sharing her sentiment.
Pakura chuckled at the innocence of these Genin and ruffled Maki's hair lightly.
But that wasn't the case for Kaiji.
He thought, 'That's stupid to think that village will bother to help them, especially when they even loss Ryūmyaku.'
He considered the village's motives.
'Maybe they might help them in expectation of somehow breaking Minato's seal and claim Ryūmyaku for themselves.'
He didn't know what Pakura and Sāra talked among themselves, but one thing was obvious to him—
That it definitely involved Ryūmyaku.
After all, without that, Sāra wouldn't ask for help from Pakura, knowing fully well she didn't have anything to give in return to Sunagakure for their help.
'Sunagakure will help or not, I am not sure, but this time Loran City will definitely involves in future unlike main timeline plot,' he thought.
The team, after full Five days, reached back to the Village from their mission.
