Sand bandits - the rogue ninjas - were holding a lot of captives in their underground base, in the town-like camp, and a lot of merchants and traders of black market were walking up and down, viewing different captives, most of whom were really young, between ten and twenty years old. The merchants were buying some captives, in order to sell them later to higher authorities who would use them as slaves (slavery was a forbidden act in most of the lands, including Great Five Nations, but the merchants sold the slaves in smaller lands where it was still allowed).
Hana was tied with strong metal ropes and couldn't get free. She was sitting in one of the camps which belonged to the rogue ninjas who had kidnapped her earlier.
Hana seemed frightened, and was quivering. She didn't know what fate would await her...
She could see many children tied there beside her, each of them being around her age, or a little older.
She fell in her thoughts.
Why didn't she stay in the hotel? She shouldn't have roamed through the foreign village alone...
What should she do? She is too far from the Land of Lightning now... Will cousins ever find her?
Tear appeared in her eye. She felt scared.
But suddenly she heard a loud bang at the corridor wall right in the end of the great hall in which the underground market was located!
"What's happening?!" the rogue ninjas got perplexed and ran towards the corridor!
The dust quickly aerated, and a group of Sand Villagers appeared! And what's more, Hana could notice her own cousins among them!
She widened eyes, her heart bouncing in joy, her mind being stupefied - they came after her! They found her! And they brought a whole army of strangers?!
She felt so proud... She could now actually leap up and cry "That's my family!" but she held herself quiet, not to let the rogue ninjas, her kidnappers, find out their privilege of having an important hostage.
The rogue ninjas looked at the Sand Villagers, being frightened and perplexed at their sudden invasion - they couldn't even imagine Sand administration would find them this deep under the desert!
But their fright grew into horror as they saw him...
The Kazekage Gaara!
Now all the ninjas started trembling. The black market merchants screamed and ran around in confusion, wanting to find the way out, but the Sand Villagers went on the offensive by the commands of Kankuro, and seized most of the criminals.
But the rogue ninjas didn't want to give up so easily - this was the business they had been developing for so many years! And it was quite a profitable business, too.
So they wove signs and opposed the Sand Villagers with their own sand and wind styles.
"Get their captives! Take them to safety!" Gaara ordered to some of his sand ninjas, who instantly rushed out to fulfill the command. Then the Kazekage glanced at his daughter and her cousins, and cried: "You guys follow me and use everything you've got!" and he dashed forward.
"Guys, after me!" Shamo cried and followed her father. The cousins heard her command and rushed after her.
Temari and the Sand Villagers used their giant fans to oppose the enemy. The bandits utilized sand moves.
"Sand shower!" cried the bandits, and sharp shower of sand started!
"Take this!" and Lady Temari together with her subordinates created huge typhoon, blowing off both the sand shower and its casters!
