Rematch with Pakura: The Battle of Ice and Scorch!
Pakura's sudden appearance was like a ferocious monster at the top of the food chain appearing in the jungle, greatly intimidating the people of Konoha.
Pakura glanced at the Konoha members who dared not look her in the eye, and nodded in satisfaction. It was worth the effort she had put into her powerful attack, which had consumed a lot of Chakra.
However, at that moment, everyone felt that the intense heat they should have felt in front of the scorching wall of fire suddenly disappeared, and they could even feel a strange chill.
Shunren held the Sode no Shirayuki in his hand, its translucent white tip pointing straight ahead. All the icy blossoms transformed into frigid snow. "Next Dance - White Ripples!"
Like an avalanche, the blizzard surged forth.
"Sizzle!" The blizzard crashed head-on into the scorching wall of fire, and the extreme temperature difference caused an explosive reaction!
The orange-red wall of fire, capable of incinerating all Ninjutsu attacks, was now shrinking and extinguishing at a visible speed. On the other side, a large amount of frost and snow was also rapidly melting and evaporating, and for a moment the field was filled with billowing white steam.
Faced with Pakura's aggressive pressure, Shunren did not offer any words of encouragement to the people of Konoha, nor did he say a single unnecessary word. Instead, he directly used the most practical actions to dispel the fear in everyone's hearts.
"Zheng~"
Shunren stood with his sword in hand, the chilling aura emanating from his Sode no Shirayuki of his robes was intimidating. His gaze was fixed on Pakura, and he said calmly, "Let's not bother with these petty tricks, shall we?"
"Oh?" Pakura raised an eyebrow, a charming smile curving his lips. "That's quite good. I like straightforward guys."
"Is the cloak you're wearing to cover the knife wound I left on your back?" Shunren said calmly.
Pakura's expression suddenly turned cold, and she unleashed an incredibly fierce burst of Chakra from her entire body, coldly saying, "Is it really okay to say such provocative things to me now that I'm at my peak strength?"
Shunren glanced at her and casually gestured with his left hand.
"Yin Release: Projection!" Coins, lightning flash!
Pakura's expression remained unchanged as she swiftly hurled two Chakra Kunai, one fire and one wind!
"Railgun!"
"Boom!" In an instant, a violent explosion of three energies—fire, wind, and electricity—occurred in the sky!
"Whoosh~" Shunren gripped the Sode no Shirayuki tightly with both hands and charged straight ahead.
"Hmph!" Pakura was equally unyielding. Having lost his fire and wind Chakra Blade, two bright orange-red fireballs emerged from his palms!
The chilling blade and the scorching fireball clashed head-on, neither side willing to yield.
"Boom!" Another massive energy explosion occurred.
Where the blade and the fireball met, one side was frozen by the pouring cold air, while the other side was instantly ignited by the splashing orange-red sparks!
Whether it was the people from Konoha or Sand Ninja, they all automatically and consciously made way for a large open space. They had to endure the biting frost on one side and face the scorching hot air currents on the other. It was truly a world of ice and fire!
However, this was merely the aftermath of the battle, which gives us an idea of how the two people involved in the intense clash felt.
At this moment, Shunren and Pakura presented a bizarre scene. Shunren, who was holding the Sode no Shirayuki, was sweating profusely, while Pakura, who was holding the Flame Ball, had snowflakes covering his eyes, eyebrows, and hair. The scene was undeniably strange!
With a swift turn of his blade, he deftly deflected the scorching ball of fire blocking his path. Then, Shunren gripped the Sode no Shirayuki tightly with both hands and thrust it straight towards Pakura's chest.
Pakura, however, clenched her five fingers, concentrating the power of her Scorch Release into a bright orange-red flaming claw, and with a flick of her wrist, slammed it down on Sode no Shirayuki's blade.
The sharp thrust was deflected by the opponent, Shunren immediately changed his move, turning the thrust into a slash. With a twist of his blade, he swept Pakura's wrist horizontally!
Pakura bent his upper body back at a beautiful ninety-degree angle, avoiding Shunren's waist-cutting strike, while at the same time his toes swept fiercely towards Shunren's lower body.
Shunren's Sharingan through the opponent's movement. Before the opponent's sweeping leg could arrive, he jumped up and, wielding his sword with both hands, delivered a powerful downward slash!
Pakura, on the other hand, squeezed her hands together tightly, gripping the blade of Sode no Shirayuki's sword.
Unable to free himself immediately, Shunren moved his eyes and instantly unleashed a large amount of cold air from his Sode no Shirayuki.
The chill spread through Pakura's hands and throughout her body, causing her to shiver uncontrollably. However, Pakura was not to be outdone. She gritted her teeth and released Scorch Release Chakra her palms, which traveled along the blade of Sode no Shirayuki and onto Shunren's hands.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~"
Thus, the stalemate resulted in Pakura enduring the icy cold, while Shunren's skin became congested from the scalding heat.
Seeing Shunren's face flushed red from the heat, Pakura forced back her trembling and grinned, "Uchiha Shunren! I refuse to believe I can't handle you!"
If Pakura, a mere woman, is so reckless, how could Shunren possibly lag behind her?
At this moment, a sinister glint flashed across Shunren's face, and he said coldly, "Is that so? Then let's hurt each other!"
With a heavy stomp of his foot, a massive white light array suddenly appeared on the ground, encompassing Pakura Shunren himself.
"This guy... put himself in the attack range too?" Pakura's pupils shrank, and she subconsciously wanted to retreat from the range of the white light array, but her hands, which were holding Sode no Shirayuki, were frozen by the frost next to the sword!
Frost covered Shunren's face, yet his crazed eyes remained unwavering.
"First Dance - Moonlight!"
A beam of white light shot into the sky, freezing everything it touched!
The area where the light array was located transformed into a giant ice pillar.
"Bang!"
But in the next second, the icicle shattered with a deafening roar.
The two figures immediately retreated in unison.
"Cough cough~" Shunren wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Clearly, the Moon White move had injured him as well, but fortunately, with the protection of Sode no Shirayuki, it was only a minor injury.
However, in order to save her own life, Pakura had no choice but to unleash her full power of Scorch Release.
At this moment, Pakura, which had been covering her body, was burned away by the scorching Chakra that suddenly erupted from her back, revealing her original backless dress.
The smooth, white back was like a beautiful statue, but unfortunately, a scar several inches long ruined all its beauty!
"Slap!" Pakura subconsciously reached out and covered his back, the fleeting shame and anger in his eyes quickly turning into boundless killing intent!
Upon seeing this, Shunren's eyes flickered, and for some reason, a sudden surge of joy welled up within him, causing the corners of his mouth to involuntarily turn upwards. "Is it a case of unexpected charm?"
