Brutal Suppression
Pakura was unaware of Vegapunk's thoughts, nor did she know what the Microwave Field Vegapunk was talking about was, but she understood that it was definitely a more terrifying weapon of destruction than the so-called Atomic Fission Beam.
Actually, her idea wasn't wrong. If the Sand Ninja were really stubborn, Vegapunk had a backup plan to directly use Microwave Field to steam half of them.
No matter how stubborn and principled a ninja is, they can only bow their heads in the face of irresistible violence. If Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki hadn't wanted to hang everyone on trees, but simply wanted to rule the world, the ninjas of the five villages would probably have defected and become her lackeys during the Fourth Shinobi World War.
To prevent Vegapunk from making another move, Pakura was the first to jump out of the Flying Vehicle. In mid-air, she casually manipulated the Magnetic Field, causing a large amount of metal to form a platform under her feet, which then slowly descended.
At this moment, the Sand Shinobi, still immersed in despair, stared wide-eyed at Pakura falling from the sky.
"No... no way? Are we in the underworld now? Isn't that Lady Pakura who has already sacrificed herself?"
"It really seems to be Lady Pakura? What on earth is going on?! Why did Lady Pakura appear from that Flying Vehicle? Was it Pakura who attacked us just now?"
Most ordinary ninjas were only surprised and puzzled when they saw Pakura, but the high-ranking members of the Sand Village and a few Jonin showed some shock and fear.
These people all knew perfectly well what had happened regarding Pakura's "sacrifice," the hero of the Sand Village. Some were participants, while others were insiders. Putting themselves in her shoes, they didn't believe that Pakura had come to help the Sand Village. Moreover, the attack launched by that Flying Vehicle just now had already shown that the visitor was hostile.
"Everyone be careful! Pakura is now our enemy! Don't forget, it was she who launched the attack from the Flying Vehicle just now!"
Several high-ranking officials were filled with fear and tension. One of them glanced around a few times, gritted his teeth, and stepped forward, pointing the finger at Pakura.
"Let's seize this opportunity, she's escaped that strange Flying Vehicle, let's all capture her together!"
As soon as the Sand Village high-ranking official finished speaking, the eyes of many Sand Village ninjas changed. It was an indisputable fact that Pakura had just emerged from the Flying Vehicle that had attacked the Sunagakure. Most ninjas were not so discerning in their personalities, and directly attacking anyone who posed a threat to them had almost become a habit for all ninjas.
If it were a Flying Vehicle with immense destructive power and near-indestructibility, the Sand Ninja might not have had any ideas. However, faced with Pakura, who was merely a creature of flesh and blood, the group of Sand Ninja immediately became restless.
"That's right, Pakura is no longer a hero of the Sand Village! She is now the biggest Rogue Ninja in the Sand Village. All the Sand Village ninja should work together and take her down when she leaves the Flying Vehicle!"
The other high-ranking members realized what was happening and immediately issued orders to all the Sand Ninja.
The reason that prevented the ordinary Sand Ninja from taking action was nothing more than the Flying Vehicle in the sky and Pakura's previous reputation. However, under the orders of the Sand Ninja's higher-ups, many Sand Ninja still directly attacked Pakura.
A dozen Sand Ninjas joined forces to unleash a combination Ninjutsu, creating a Giant Dragon of wind and fire that soared into the sky. Seven or eight Puppet Master controlled their puppets, which changed shape and flew around, firing numerous poison needles from their bodies. Three ninjas with the ability to control sand manipulated the sand into a small sandstorm...
Faced with the various Ninjutsu unleashed by the Sand Ninja, Pakura remained calm and simply stretched out her hand, instantly filling the sky with a golden sandstorm.
That was the Gold Sand that Rasa himself possessed, which Pakura had collected.
Pakura's Magnetic Release can control all metals. Although Gold Sand is the weakest of all metals in terms of combat power, it is extremely valuable. Pakura would not waste it and is now using it temporarily in the battle.
Even the softest metal is far more defensive than Earth Release or Water Release of the same level. The massive amount of gold dust covered the sky and extinguished the wind and fire Giant Dragon, crushed the poison needle puppet, and crushed the small sandstorm, unleashing a domineering level of suppression.
Magnetic Release, as the ultimate inheritance of the Kazekage of Sunagakure, is naturally a counter to other traditional Ninjutsu, whether it be puppetry, Wind Release, or sand control techniques. They are either countered by it or are subordinate to it. With Pakura's Magnetic Release ability being far stronger than Rasa's, she easily destroyed all those attacks.
Then, Pakura stretched out her hand, and a patch of gold Gold Sand in the sky transformed into a golden spear. Under the powerful magnetic force, it solidified into one and instantly shot through a high-ranking Sand Ninja like a streak of light.
"How could this be? When exactly did Pakura learn Magnetic Release?!"
"So fast! How could Gold Sand controlled by Magnetic Release possibly move this fast!?"
The Sand Ninja below were both shocked and terrified when they saw Pakura's counterattack. Unlike the niche Scorch Release that Pakura had taken, Magnetic Release was an exclusive secret technique of the Kazekage lineage. Almost all the Sand Ninja had grown up hearing about the fame of this Ninjutsu, and the psychological pressure on them was incomparable.
"Pakura, you actually stole Magnetic Release! The village won't let you get away with this..."
"Shut up, idiot!" Pakura sneered, and with a wave of his Golden Spear shot out as a beam of light. Amidst screams, another high-ranking Sand Ninja was torn to pieces and turned into a pile of flesh.
Seeing the remaining high-ranking officials' trembling expressions, Pakura felt a surge of satisfaction. If it weren't for these bastards, he wouldn't have almost become a breeding tool for the Sea Ninja Village.
Fortunately, he met Vegapunk, otherwise he probably would never have been able to turn his life around.
Slowly landing on the ground, Pakura looked coldly at all the Sand Ninja: "Among you, some of you may know that I was betrayed by the higher-ups and sent to the Sea Ninja Village to seek peace, while others may not."
As Pakura's words spread, the Sand Ninja below immediately began whispering and discussing among themselves, creating quite a stir. Such betrayal of one's own people was not unfamiliar to many ninjas; the ninja profession was inherently destined to make it impossible to completely escape such things.
But such things can only ever happen in the shadows. Once they're brought into the light, it's a different story. Especially for a ninja of Pakura's caliber, one of the pillars of the Sand Village, if even a ninja like her can be betrayed, wouldn't ordinary ninjas feel even more insecure?
However, Pakura ignored the ninjas' discussions and spoke coldly, "But no matter what, I will not let the Sunagakure leaders who did such a thing go unpunished!"
"Now is the time for you to choose. Will you choose to follow me, or will you choose to die with those high-ranking officials of Sunagakure?"
It must be said that Pakura's eloquence is not very good. Even with her own personal experience, her simple and crude approach still made many Sand Ninja resentful and dissatisfied.
But now, a large group of Sand Ninja looked at the Flying Vehicle that was shining brightly at the very front of the sky above them, and one by one they were like quails, not saying a word.
