At this moment, Itachi began to slowly explain.
Before even entering the dungeon, I had already exchanged gold coins for a trial card for the peak period.
So, you know what I mean!
"Peak Period Experience Card?" Pakura said, somewhat incredulously.
If Pakura only had a 10% chance of success just now, adding Itachi's success today would probably raise it to 40%.
"But I'm worried that Lord Orochimaru might intervene to help the Fourth Kazekage." Little Itachi's only concern right now is Lord Orochimaru.
After all, Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, was renowned throughout the entire Shinobi World. Even with his peak form, Itachi wasn't confident he could defeat Orochimaru. (Let's not argue about that now; Itachi at that age had no idea of his peak strength, and besides, when Itachi defeated Orochimaru, he didn't expect Orochimaru to be so easy to beat.)
So Itachi is worried that he is no match for Lord Orochimaru, and Lord Orochimaru doesn't take him, a mere child, seriously.
Even if he could temporarily possess the power of his peak, Orochimaru would never admit that he was inferior to Itachi before he had fought him.
"But I have a request: you must help me defeat Uchiha Itachi in this world." Little Itachi then stated his condition.
That is to help him complete the side quest of defeating Uchiha Itachi, since Itachi really had no interest in other tasks.
Itachi had absolutely no interest in Patrick Star or the puppet; the only thing that could entice him was the Parallel World Experience Scroll.
He wanted to see the future Sasuke, but he couldn't gain Gaara's trust, so he could only choose the safest mission.
If I could persuade the future Uchiha Itachi, this matter would become much easier.
"Okay, I agree." Pakura agreed to Uchiha Itachi without even thinking. As for protecting the glory of Sunagakure, she didn't care at all. She had been sold out by the village, so she didn't care about such things.
It's a deal!
"But don't make a move yet. I want to torture Rasa first, so he'll never forget it!" Pakura said angrily.
"Uh, okay." Itachi couldn't refuse her request.
The two of them then began their pursuit along the direction Rasa had left the village. Since Rasa and his group couldn't have strayed too far from Sunagakure, they soon encountered Rasa.
"Pakura, you've come at the right time. Now we're even more..." At this moment, Rasa had not yet noticed Pakura's unusual behavior.
Pakura approached silently, and Orochimaru once again sensed something was amiss.
Based on my many years of experience, the look in Pakura's eyes now is exactly the same as the look in my eyes when I had a particular urge to kill Teacher Sarutobi.
Although the other party had concealed it well, Orochimaru, a seasoned veteran, still immediately revealed a flaw.
"Just a heads up, watch out for that woman!" Orochimaru didn't want Rasa to be eliminated so early in order to complete the mission.
But how could Pakura let Rasa be eliminated so easily? Pakura was going to torture him severely.
"How could that be? Pakura is Elite Jonin from our village. Although Pakura and I have some conflicts, we are very much in agreement on important matters." Rasa didn't take Orochimaru's warning seriously.
Although Orochimaru's warning had already proven true once, Rasa firmly believed that what happened just now was merely an accident.
As Pakura approached, he suddenly sprang into action, stabbing countless Kunai at Rasa's body.
Because they were too close Rasa did not react immediately.
Only after being infected did he look at Pakura in surprise.
"No, Pakura, you..." Before Rasa could finish speaking, he discovered that the Kunai was actually equipped with Explosive Tag.
Holy crap, what a deep grudge!
At this moment, Rasa could only hastily use Gold Dust to wrap his body to prevent himself from suffering serious harm.
"Scorch Release: Over-Steam Killing!"
Fireballs generated by the Scorch Release technique reappeared around them and then all of them crashed down on Rasa.
"Summoning Technique!"
As expected, Orochimaru did not watch Rasa be killed, but decisively chose to summon a summoning beast to block the attack.
"You Orochimaru, why did you summon me?!" Manda said angrily.
Holy crap, I was just summoned and immediately hit with several giant fireballs! Orochimaru, you deserve to die!
"Orochimaru, this isn't over until you give me a hundred sacrifices!" Manda was still struggling with Orochimaru.
They wanted to get some benefits from Orochimaru, but Orochimaru completely ignored Manda.
"This must be the famous Scorch Release Pakura, from Sunagakure!" Orochimaru's eyes were fixed on the Sunagakure Shinobi in front of him, who was wearing a backless dress.
Orochimaru just couldn't understand why she was fighting with Rasa. Was it because Rasa was too attractive to enemies, or what?
Why do they fight wherever they go?
"We're all here to complete the mission, let's not fight each other." Orochimaru didn't want to get involved in their mess at this point.
He didn't care who dumped whom, who became whose mistress, who betrayed whom, or anything like that; Orochimaru didn't care at all.
As long as we don't interfere with his completion of the mission, everything will be fine. Besides, Rasa will be a part of the dungeon team after all.
If he needs cannon fodder—no, teammates—the high ground can play a role; otherwise, he wouldn't bother with such things.
"Pakura, are you crazy? How dare you attack me, the Kazekage!" Rasa, who had just been rescued, was also furious. Coupled with the fact that he had been attacked by Gaara without any explanation, he was now completely enraged.
I am the Kazekage of Sunagakure, and these people have made me lose face like this. How am I supposed to lead the team now?
Fortunately, only Orochimaru knew about his embarrassing moment this time.
"Kazekage, you dare to challenge me!" Pakura stopped talking and attacked Rasa again.
Rasa's Chakra hadn't fully recovered after his battle with Gaara, and now that he was entangled by Pakura again, he was even less of a match for her.
Rasa, who was originally stronger than Pakura, was suppressed at every turn.
And for some reason, that crazy woman Pakura was beating her like she didn't care about her own life; she had no idea what she had done to offend her.
This kind of life-for-life fighting style is absolutely shameless! Are you not planning to take over the rest of the mission?
Seeing the two locked in a fierce battle, Orochimaru sighed and prepared to intervene, but suddenly noticed Itachi poised to strike.
Itachi? Uchiha Itachi?
Orochimaru doubted his own eyes; Uchiha Itachi was actually trying to stop him from stopping the two of them.
Did Fugaku not tell you about my strength, or do you think I would go easy on a child like you?
