White Zetsu's Ambush, a Shocking Turn

Shunren observed the increasingly strange atmosphere of the meeting, a sense of absurdity flashed through his mind.

Is Pakura challenging Uchiha Kyosho?

Are you kidding me? Is this guy courting death? These two are not even in the same league!

Kyosho doesn't know the exact extent of Shunren's strength, as there's no introduction to this character in the original work. However, the fact that he became the head of the Uchiha Clan and that he faced off against Granny Chiyo head-on in this war without flinching is enough to show that Kyosho's strength is far from ordinary.

As for Pakura, although the title of "Scorch Release Master" has become quite famous recently, in Shunren's opinion, her strength should be about the same as Yotsuki Teki's.

Shunren, now armed with various Yin Release) weapons, can now hold his own against Pakura, but he knows he is no match for the clan leader.

"Could it be that the Sand Ninja's plan..." Shunren's eyes narrowed slightly; he suddenly realized a crucial point in the matter.

The three from Konoha, ranked from strongest to weakest, are: Kyosho, Fugaku, Yashiro.

The strength of the three Sand Ninja members, from highest to lowest, is: Chiyo, Rasa, Pakura.

The Sand Ninja Pakura, the weakest of the ninja, to challenge the strongest, Kyosho.

At this moment, a story came to mind for Shunren: Tian Ji's horse race!

"Ha! What an arrogant woman! You dare to challenge the leader of our Uchiha Clan?" Yashiro laughed contemptuously.

"Lord Kyosho..." Fugaku frowned, clearly he could roughly see through the Sand Ninja Village's plan. He glanced at the mountain and the surrounding area, noting that both Konoha and Sand Ninja were watching, so they couldn't avoid the Sand Ninja's challenge.

"I know, Fugaku." The shrewd and calculating Kyosho could see through it, but since there was no way to avoid it, then there was no choice but to fight.

Without further ado, Kyosho gestured to Pakura, "I accept your challenge. Uchiha Kyosho!"

Pakura's expression darkened slightly. She knew that this battle would be extremely dangerous, but she had already made an agreement with the Kazekage. She would do anything for the benefit of the village, on the condition that her beloved disciple, Maki, would not be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

Having made up his mind, Pakura had no way out and announced his name: "Pakura, Sand Ninja who uses the Scorch Release!"

A sinister smile crept across Rasa's lips as he thought to himself: I'm going to take back the chips I lost on the battlefield!

Chiyo's deep, old eyes were fixed on Kyosho. She had already made her assessment: the girl with the Scorch Release was definitely no match for Kyosho, but if she fought with all her might, she could wear him down considerably. If she could even injure him a little, that would be even better. Then, in the next match, she would personally take the field, Kyosho would undoubtedly be defeated.

He knew perfectly well what was going on, so there was no need to say more. Kyosho's only thought now was to defeat Pakura as quickly as possible. He also anticipated that after that, he would have to deal with Chiyo, who was at full strength. If he risked his life, he still had a chance to fight for a draw.

Without exchanging any words, the fierce battle suddenly broke out in silence.

Kyosho's eyes instantly turned crimson, and he immediately activated his Sharingan!

"Scorch Release: Flame Ball!" Pakura spat out an orange-red fireball. When dealing with an enemy of this level, there was no need to worry about conserving Chakra. He immediately used his strongest Kekkei Genkai.

Pakura controlled the Flame Ball and launched the first attack on Kyosho.

The latter flipped his hand, revealing four Explosive Tag hidden between his fingers, and threw them Kunai.

"Ninja tools? Is it to conserve as much Chakra as possible?" Pakura's eyes narrowed, and she moved her hands, manipulating her eyeballs to change their trajectory, unwilling to let the technique she used, which had consumed a lot of Chakra, be negated by the opponent's Explosive Tag.

"Ding~" Kyosho his finger, and the steel wire connected to his fingertip caused the four Kunai to collide with each other in mid-air.

The original flight trajectory was changed. "Boom boom boom boom!" The explosions of the four Explosive Tag shattered the fireballs one by one!

"Damn it!" Pakura's expression suddenly changed.

The Kyosho in front of them had vanished without a trace, and in an instant, it appeared ghost-like behind Pakura.

"Clang!" Pakura grabbed the Kunai with both hands, turned around and parried the latter's Kunai perfectly.

"Clang clang clang clang~" Another fierce clash of Kunai ensued, and Kyosho easily suppressed Pakura's dual-wielding style with one hand, his speed leaving her no room to Hand Seals.

"Bang!" Seizing an opening, Kyosho kicked Pakura away, simultaneously flicking the Kunai in his hand to the side.

The fierce battle between the two was dazzling, and Shunren's eyes lit up, clearly recognizing Kyosho's move.

"Flying Arrow Slash!"

"Pfft~" The sharp Kunai pierced her palm. It turned out that Pakura knew she couldn't dodge it, and there was no time to Hand Seals, so she directly used her hand to protect her neck. She thought to herself that she had seen Uchiha Shunren use it before!

Kyosho's eyes flashed with surprise, seemingly not expecting Pakura to know the attack pattern of the Uchiha's advanced swordsmanship. He quickly formed several hand seals with one hand, "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

Facing the oncoming fireball, Pakura's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "As expected, it's just a regular Great Fireball, not the more advanced Great Dragon Fire. Chiyo Chiyo's poison Hand Seals one of his hands; he can't quickly unleash more advanced techniques with just one hand!"

"Scorch Release: Small Fireball!" Pakura spat out an orange-red fireball only the size of a fist, much smaller than the latter, but when the two collided, Pakura's Scorch Release pierced through Kyosho's Fire Style.

Kyosho frowned. Faced with the fireball that had easily broken his Fire Style and was flying towards him with undiminished momentum, he had no choice but to stop the complex hand seals of the advanced Fire Style that he had not yet completed with one hand.

"Bang!" The Kyosho, directly hit by the fireball, turned into a charred wooden stake. Substitution Technique.

"I can win!" Pakura was overjoyed. Although her Chakra was not on the same level as Kyosho's, the latter had lost an arm, which greatly reduced his strength. With orange-red flames gathering in her hands, Pakura charged towards her opponent!

"There's no other way, it seems we have to use that move..." Ju Song Kyosho a hand seal, "Clear Mirror, Still Water."

"This is..." Upon seeing this, Shunren's eyes immediately transformed into Sharingan, his gaze fixed intently on Kyosho.

Pakura's forward-rushing figure immediately stopped, his eyes widening, "Is that a clone?"

"Whoosh~" Just as Pakura sensed something was wrong and stopped to shout, Kyosho rushed towards her with Kunai in one hand. Strangely, every time Kyosho advanced a certain distance, he would leave behind a clone that looked like an afterimage. In a few flashes, he actually created dozens of clones that were neither real nor fake.

One of the figures thrust a kunai at Kunai, Pakura raised a fireball to slap it, but Pakura passed right through Yecang's body.

"Whoosh~" A figure spat out Great Fireball at Pakura.

"Is this the real body?!" Pakura used Scorch Release to extinguish the Great Fireball again, and then attacked the figure without saying a word, but unexpectedly, it passed right through her.

"Bang!" Another figure delivered a Konoha Whirlwind kick to Pakura from the front. Pakura felt a sharp pain in her abdomen from the kick, but she was certain that the figure in front of her was a real person. Unfortunately, her attack missed again.

"What... what's going on?!" Pakura stared intently at the dozen or so figures surrounding her. When the enemies attacked, she felt that each one had a physical form, but when her attacks hit them, they all passed right through her.

"Kagami-Style Body Flicker Technique! It uses high-speed movement to create multiple Chakra afterimages; each one is the real body when attacking, and each one is a phantom when being attacked!" Shunren Sharingan's power to its limit, but found he couldn't completely see through the technique, let alone copy it. "An ultimate secret technique that Sharingan can't directly copy... it seems I still have to find a way to obtain the original..."

After using the Kagami-Style Body Flicker Technique, the situation on the battlefield undoubtedly turned in Kyosho, and Pakura was completely powerless to fight back.

Pakura knew that if things continued like this, she would surely die. While feeling desperate, she also became more resolute: If you want to kill me, I won't let you get away with it!

"Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder!" Pakura gathered all seven fireballs surrounding his body into his palm, forming an orange-red jutsu mark compressed to the extreme. If this strike hits, all the body fluids in the opponent's body will evaporate instantly, turning them into a mummified corpse!

"A desperate attack, abandoning all defense?" Yashiro sneered from the side. "How could such a reckless attack possibly hit the clan chief?"

Fugaku frowned, his gaze sweeping around. For some reason, he felt a strange sense of unease. His eyes finally settled on Rasa and Chiyo, noticing their grim expressions, which were clearly genuine.

"..." Kyosho seemed hesitant, as if he had an indescribable strange feeling. However, he was confident that with the eyesight of his Sharingan, no one could pull any tricks under his nose, so he launched his final attack on Pakura.

"It's over." A dozen figures surrounded and attacked Pakura simultaneously.

Pakura had no other choice but to bite the bullet and proceed.

"I never expected that Uchiha Kyosho would be so powerful..." Rasa said with a solemn expression.

"It seems that the Scorch Release girl's time has come to an end," Chiyo sighed.

However, just when everyone thought that Pakura was about to die at the hands of Kyosho, an unexpected and shocking turn of events occurred!

Suddenly, all the figures on the field, numbering over ten, vanished, leaving only one figure remaining.

"Gurgle~" Suddenly, a white, unidentified adhesive substance appeared on Kyosho's body!

Faced with this sudden and unexpected attack, Kyosho's expression changed drastically. "What is this thing? Is it absorbing my Chakra to grow?"
