Once again Sakura was on the hard trail of the forest, where she had been for the last three days. But she wasn't complaining because this scenery would soon be lost to her and things were going to become more rocky in a manner of speaking.

She was going to have to cross a place called the Great Divide to get to the other side of the Earth Kingdom. There would be more villagers following, and according to the doctor, there might be fewer Firenation colonies, unlike the area where she currently resided.

Coming across a river, Sakura stopped to refill her animal skins, taking in the chill that seeped through her hands, while admiring the tranquility of her surroundings, the sound of the flowing river, and the soothing winds that helped calm her restlessness.

A noise broke the silence, and it wasn't a mere rustling in the nearby bushes or some forest creature. No. These were people's screams, the sound of steel clashing in the near distance. Sakura's body tensed on instinct, as she dashed through the forest, into the trees as the commotion grew louder.

"What is that?"

Sakura stayed perched high in the trees, her sharp eyes scanning the scene below. Amidst the dense forest, a battle was unfolding. Soldiers in red and black armor, covered head to toe shooting flames from their hands and feet without any signs. Though every movement was a purposeful combatant stance.

'So this must be fire bending,'

What an intriguing technique.

They weren't just doing this for fun either, but were taking battle, nearly thirty against three...boys. Yes, those were young teenagers who were fighting against all that fire and the arms that came with it.

One boy, wielded a pair of hook swords with incredible agility, deflecting the soldiers' attacks with fluid, precise movements. The second boy, with a serious expression and a bow slung over his shoulder, had arrows flying and effortlessly hitting their marks. Then there was the most petite of the group, throwing daggers at the men, throwing off their flames.

This was all taking place in some kind of camp, judging by the fire pits, tents, and crates. The teenagers were holding their own, but they were outnumbered and beginning to tire.

She saw one of the men grabbing the youngest from behind, knocking the weapons out of their hands. Before either boy could step in, Sakura decided to make her presence known. She jumped from the trees, appearing behind the soldier, and knocking him down from behind. He fell easily.

The boy...no girl, looked at her skeptically. "Who are you?"

Some of the other soldiers turned attention to her, as Sakura strengthened her stance. "Someone who definitely has a better way to spend her afternoon,"
