"Damn it, I never thought even Lady Pakura would be used as cannon fodder."

"I understand! Because it was Lady Pakura who was sent, Jonin in the team went all out, believing that the Lord Kazekage would definitely send a large force to meet them..."

"We've been completely fooled, damn it! In that case, we might as well run away!"

Knowing they had been deceived and used, the two Sand Ninja Jonin a glance, then immediately turned tail and deserted.

Only Pakura, still fighting fiercely against the Konoha ninja, and Maki, a bewildered and helpless Sand genin girl, remained.

Shunren stared intently at the latter, then glanced in Pakura's direction. A realization dawned on him. So that's how it is. This chestnut-haired extra was Pakura's disciple mentioned in the original work. Her name seemed to be Maki, and she became an excellent sealing-type ninja during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

Only hardcore Hokage would remember this minor character who only appeared a few times in the original work so clearly.

However, none of these things concerned Shunren.

The young girl, Maki, was forced to go to the battlefield and witnessed the deaths of her comrades and the betrayal of her seniors. It does sound rather pitiful.

However, despite this, Shunren would not spare the other party's life out of pity.

This is a battlefield, they are the enemy, it's a fight to the death!

"Zheng~"

Shunren, wielding two swords that gleamed with a cold light, walked towards the Maki.

However, Maki seemed still caught up in the shock of the attack, his eyes dull and lifeless, standing motionless in place like a wooden statue.

"Very good, just stand there and don't move. If I behead you with one strike, the pain will only last for a moment." Shunren stood in front of the latter and raised his sword high.

"Whoosh~" A sharp sound of wind breaking came from behind.

Shunren's expression remained unchanged. "Yin Release - Projection!"

"Swoosh~" A storm like a raging fire swept behind Shunren.

At the critical moment, Shunren projected the Heavy Black Iron Ruler Shunren behind him to block the attack, and it proved to be the right thing to do, because now, apart from the place where he stood, the surrounding earth had been scorched into scorched earth.

Pakura pressed his burning fingers against the Heavy Black Iron Ruler on Shunren's back, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "What kind of weapon is this? It can actually withstand my scorching blow!"

"The temperature is truly terrifying. I can still feel a trace of heat through the Heavy Black Iron Ruler." Shunren knew the characteristics of this Heavy Black Iron Ruler well. Not only was it heavy and hard, but its heat resistance was also astonishing. In the original novel "Battle Through the Heavens," the protagonist Xiao Huohuo directly injected strange fire into it to perform fighting techniques. You can imagine how strong the Heavy Black Iron Ruler's resistance to fire is!

"Whoosh~" Shunren spun around and slashed at his opponent.

Pakura leaned back, displaying a graceful movement as he swiftly retreated.

"Crack~" Shunren released the Heavy Black Iron Ruler on his back. He couldn't afford to have his speed and Chakra restricted by an opponent of this caliber.

"Pakura- sensei..." Maki, who had also come to his senses, cried out to Pakura, "Has the village abandoned us?"

Upon hearing this, Pakura's face also turned extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth inwardly, thinking, "Damn Rasa! How dare you lie to me!"

Clearly, the Kazekage hadn't told Pakura the truth about the operation plan in detail, only instructing her to infiltrate Konoha's rear and destroy the Konoha army's intelligence base. However, as a member of the Sand Ninja, she could tolerate being used by the village, but she absolutely could not accept sacrificing her beloved disciple, Maki!

Shunren glanced out of the corner of his eye at the area guarded by the stronghold. He saw that of the thirty-odd ninjas who had originally been there, two-thirds had now fallen.

With one Konoha Jonin and the other wounded, the fear of Pakura intensified. However, the only saving grace was that her opponent's Chakra were low. Pakura was well aware of her own Chakra situation, which was why she had restrained herself from using her Scorch Release technique. At this pace, she could have slowly worn down the defending Konoha Ninja. But she never expected that her Sand Ninja Jonin would collapse first; two of their four Jonin were killed by a mere brat, and two others escaped wounded. Finally, seeing her beloved student, Maki, about to die by the enemy's sword, Pakura had no choice but to abandon her advantage over the Konoha Ninja and turn to attack Shunren.

"Zheng~"

Shunren placed his sword against Maki's neck.

"Do not act Scorch Release, Pakura."

"You bastard! If you dare to touch a single hair on Maki's head, I will never let you off!" Seeing Shunren holding his beloved disciple hostage, Pakura was instantly enraged.

"Look at reality. With the little Chakra you have left, killing you wouldn't be difficult for me."

Holding Kunai Pakura made no attempt to conceal her murderous intent, coldly saying, "You ignorant brat, when I was dominating the Shinobi World, you were probably still playing in the mud somewhere!"

The opponent's chilling killing intent had no effect on Shunren whatsoever. He simply said calmly, "What a pointless provocation. And why should I insist on fighting to the death with you? I'm just using the most efficient method."

Pakura was also surprised that her malicious, contemptuous, and provocative words had no effect on Shunren at all. Logically speaking, the other party should be at the age of being full of passion and unruly, so how come he seemed like an old man who could see through her thoughts at a glance?

However, with a sword to his neck, Maki shouted at Pakura, disregarding his own life, "Pakura- sensei! Don't worry about me, you run away!"

Pakura was deeply moved by Maki's determination and his affection for his mentor. This was the only thing that sustained her in the cold village. Therefore, she could give up everything, but she could never abandon Maki!

"Shut up, stay there and don't move, your teacher is coming to save you right away!" Pakura shoved several Military Ration Pills from a bag into his mouth at once, forcibly raising the little Chakra he had left. His orange eyes, however, revealed a resolute gaze ready to fight to the death.

"Draining the pond to catch all the fish?" Shunren's Sharingan and Mind's Eye could clearly sense the surging, scorching Chakra emanating from Pakura's body. Even so, Pakura was no joke when she risked her life!
