Pakura's Great Escape!
"Hmph!" A Mist Ninja stomped on Pakura's back and said coldly, "In the end, she's just a foolish woman, completely fooled by the Kazekage without even realizing it. Let me tell you one last piece of despair: we Mist Ninja have no intention of joining forces with you Sand Ninja. A ceasefire with you Sand Ninja is merely a temporary measure, and..."
However, just as the Mist Ninja was rambling on, the Mist Ninja in the ambush suddenly jumped out.
"Lord Shuang, what do you see...?"
"Idiot! Get out of the way!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Pakura's corpse on the ground turned into raging flames, burning the Mist Ninja who had stepped on her to a crisp.
On the other side, Pakura, completely unharmed, slowly walked out.
Scorch Release Clone, slapping the face of the Mist Ninja, Pakura, are you the female lead? So cool!
Shunren was furious and immediately transmitted his voice, "Why aren't you running yet! Didn't I tell you the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are all nearby?"
"Shut up! I need to confirm something!" Pakura recognized Shunren's voice. Although she didn't know why Shunren was here, judging from his earlier warning, he must have come to help her.
Pakura stared intently at the leading Mist Ninja and said in a deep voice, "The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the wielder of Hiramekarei, is it Shimo Yuki?"
"The shame of the Yuki Clan must be washed away with blood." Shimo Yuki said expressionlessly, reaching out to unwrap the bandages wrapped around Hiramekarei. No wonder he was the only one among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Mist who was so eager to participate in the ambush of Pakura; it turned out he wanted to avenge the death of the Yuki clan chief at Pakura's hands.
Pakura sighed, "I wasn't the one who killed your clan leader."
Shimo Yuki seemed surprised, but he also expected that there must be some unknown secrets hidden in that battle. After all, he didn't believe that Pakura was capable of killing their clan leader. He then pressed for details, "Could you tell me the details?"
"Unfortunately, I don't know what that thing is either." Pakura frowned, wondering what that white thing was. It had used her to kill Yuki Kan and Uchiha Kyosho. It was as if someone was deliberately provoking a war!
"Believe it or not, that's all I wanted to say. Also, I have to go..." Pakura didn't want to take the blame, which is why, even after Shunren informed her of the dangers here, she still couldn't help but stand up and explain the facts to the Yuki Clan.
Shimo Yuki raised Hiramekarei in one hand, while her other hand formed a hand Hand Seals, thickening the moisture in the surrounding air. "I can't let you go."
Having said all that, there was nothing more to say, and Pakura simply turned and ran!
"Secret Technique: Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death!"
The surrounding moisture condensed into jets of water, which rapidly attacked Pakura.
Because Shunren had already told her that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were all nearby, Pakura dared not delay for even a moment. Facing the incoming water arrow, Pakura took out an Explosive Tag Kunai from her pocket and threw it.
"Boom!"
The blast from the Explosive Tag cleared away the water arrows. Then he continued running at high speed.
"Stop right there!" Shimo Yuki immediately gave chase, thinking that Ye Pakura's decisive escape without a word meant he already knew about their Mist Ninja's plan to ambush him. But if that were the case, why would he walk right into their trap?
Shunren was also running around quickly on the other side, using his Mind's Eye to search the surroundings, while simultaneously using the Mind Transmission Technique to relay the information to Pakura.
"Run towards the two o'clock position!"
"Uchiha Shunren, why...?" Pakura couldn't help but ask.
"We can talk later. Just be careful to avoid your 4 o'clock and 7 o'clock positions; someone's chasing you!"
Pakura gritted his teeth.
She knew her situation was extremely dangerous; if she were held back by one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the consequences would be unimaginable. Although she couldn't understand why Shunren had helped her, he had warned her about the ambush earlier, so he probably wasn't there to harm her. Now, who else would help her? The village she had always protected had now heartlessly betrayed her. Thinking of this, Pakura felt a wave of sorrow wash over her.
The plan to ambush Pakura failed, Shimo Yuki pursued him alone, while ordering her subordinates to notify the other members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist of the Mist nearby.
"What's wrong with Shimo? Didn't she say she had a grudge against someone? How could she let them get away!" said Juzo Biwa, the wielder of the Broken Blade, the Kubikiribōchō's Blade!
"Hehe! Isn't this great? Watch me blow you to smithereens!" —The wielder of the Shibuki Blade: Munashi Jinpachi!
"Huh?! The movement route has changed again... Is that woman also a sensory ninja?" Suikazan Fuguki, the wielder of the Samehada.
"Not good! The enemy also has sensory ninjas. The 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock positions ahead have been surrounded!" Shunren did not expect that there was a master of Sensory Technique among the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who had actually used his Mind's Eye to conduct counter-reconnaissance.
Pakura's expression also changed slightly. At this moment, Shimo Yuki was hot on her heels, and there were two more people blocking her way. This was troublesome. However, thanks to Shunren's advance warning, she immediately prepared a set of Explosive Tag Kunai.
"Haha! Gotcha!" A man with long gray-green hair suddenly appeared from the woods on the left, wielding two thin knives with branches on their blades. This was Raiga Kurosuki, the wielder of the Raiga-no-Kami!
Pakura had anticipated the other party's appearance and threw the Explosive Tag Kunai in his hand without saying a word.
However, Pakura was prepared, but Raiga Kurosuki was not. He didn't expect Pakura to throw out Explosive Tag right away, so he quickly retreated to avoid them.
"Boom!" Having forced back Raiga Kurosuki using the Explosive Tag, Pakura continued running forward without stopping.
"Next, it's to the right!" Pakura turned her gaze and sure enough, a long, sharp blade suddenly flew out from the jungle on her right, heading straight for her neck!
Having witnessed Shunren's Flying Arrow Slash, Pakura was quite adept at defending against attacks aimed directly at the neck from the side.
"Ding~"
A blue vortex swirled around Kunai, a wind-attribute Chakra Blade — Pakura precisely deflected the opponent's longsword!
Pakura deflected the opponent's longsword with a single strike, then, without lingering in the fight, prepared to continue running forward.
However, at that moment, Pakura suddenly felt something tug at his wrist, causing him to lose his balance and stumble a few steps to the side. Turning his head, he suddenly realized that there was an incredibly strong steel wire connecting the long sword!
It was a slender, tall man with a mask worn by the Mist Ninja Anbu, wielding the long sword, Nuibari Kushimaru Kuriarare!
