The Scorch Release user: Watanabe Kaoru, killing bodies and breaking spirits

"Report: No abnormalities detected ahead."

"Very good, everyone, let's rest here for a while."

This squad was responsible for patrolling the border to prevent the enemy from bypassing the main camp and attacking it.

After several hours of investigation, everyone was exhausted, so the team leader had no choice but to order a ten-minute rest.

"Sigh." One team member couldn't help but sigh deeply, and the others also looked exhausted.

These patrol missions always result in a life-or-death battle if the enemy is discovered.

Unless they are true Jonin- level powerhouses, no one else can guarantee their survival.

"War..."

"When will this finally end?"

Seeing the team's low morale, Uchiha, as the captain, couldn't help but mention a piece of news he had just heard before setting off.

"Did you know? Lord Kyosuke has returned."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately brightened.

Really?

"Excellent! With your return, my lord, the Southern Army is now an absolutely invincible force."

"Um... is there still a chance for us to join the adults' legion?"

"Hehehe, who was it that was yelling that they couldn't take it anymore?"

"You don't know anything. Times have changed."

It's a pity that this squad leader knew nothing about the situation. He was even more eager to join the team than his own team members if he knew the details.

While the others were engrossed in conversation, one person in the group remained silent with his head down.

A year ago, news of Kyosuke's death circulated within the clan, and various factions were trying to win over that invincible legion.

Summoned by Rei Uchiha, he resolutely decided to return to the Southern Army.

He wasn't exactly a deserter, and one couldn't even accuse him of betrayal, but the man still felt somewhat guilty.

At this moment, Kyosuke Legion, returned. He was happy for him, but at the same time, he felt a sense of guilt that made him ashamed to face the enemy.

After a long silence, he finally spoke slowly, "That's right, Lord Kyosuke is a commander worth following."

Um... they all exchanged glances, their faces showing some embarrassment.

I was so happy just now that I forgot I had a comrade who had returned from the Kyosuke Legion beside me.

Such a cheerful discussion is like rubbing salt into someone's wounds.

"Actually..." The squad leader was about to explain something when he suddenly noticed the horrified look in his companion's eyes.

His excellent combat experience told him that something was definitely happening behind him.

He braced himself on the ground with one hand and quickly turned around.

Before he could even activate his Sharingan, a slender yet incredibly strong hand gripped his throat tightly.

"Why don't you follow me?" A sneer rang out, and the words enraged the Uchiha clan.

"Bastard..." Ignoring his own subjugation, the squad leader flicked his wrist, and Kunai appeared in his palm.

Even if he dies today, he'll drag that arrogant, bastard woman down to hell with him.

Unfortunately, the Kunai ultimately failed to pierce through.

"Ah!!!" A piercing scream echoed through the Forest.

The squad leader felt as if he were being roasted on an iron stove, his blood boiling and his flesh and bones being scorched.

In the blink of an eye, all the water in his body evaporated, followed by blood and fat, eventually turning him into a skin-and-bones mummy.

"Captain!" The man gritted his teeth and began to rapidly Hand Seals.

Sizzle! The signature A Thousand Birds Crying rang out. As a former member of the Kyosuke Legion, he naturally knew how to use the Chidori Technique.

With his Sharingan activated, he fixed his gaze on his target and began his charge.

I'll take your life!

However, his rage only earned him the woman's endless mockery. "You think you can take my life?"

"Hahaha, I heard you all take orders from a little brat?"

"I'm very curious, do you usually change his diapers?"

Watanabe Kaoru's malicious words constantly disrupted the enemy's mindset.

This was her specialty: to kill someone and then destroy their spirit, only in this way could she satisfy that twisted pleasure.

"You are not allowed to insult adults!"

Lightning flashed across the sky, and the hand-blade, crackling with electricity, thrust forward with tremendous force like a spear.

The man already felt guilty towards Kyosuke, and when he heard the enemy dare to insult him, he immediately lost his temper.

Little did they know, this move had fallen right into the enemy's trap.

The ability to Scorch Release has a natural advantage against melee attacks.

Let alone physical contact, even simply approaching her carries a very high risk.

For example, the man was in this situation; the closer he got to Watanabe Kaoru, the more pronounced the heat wave became.

At nearly five meters, he could barely breathe.

Three meters... The scorching heatwave damaged his pupils.

He subconsciously squinted, and the enemy vanished from his sight in an instant.

By the time he stopped, his left arm, from which he had thrust out the Chidori Hand Chop, was already completely cooked through.

"Damn it!!!" The Chidori Lightning reappeared, and he gritted his teeth and chopped off his left arm.

He raised his head in pain and found that, apart from himself, all his comrades were lying in pools of blood.

Not only Watanabe Kaoru, but all the members of her Guard Squad were also ruthless.

Ordinary squads are no match for them.

A long-forgotten sense of fear suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart. The man gritted his teeth, used Lightning Release to stimulate his body Cells, and began to run frantically into the distance.

"Hahahaha." Behind him came Watanabe Kaoru's unrestrained laughter. "Hey, hey, you just ran away like that?"

"Everyone says the Uchiha are all heroes, but I think you guys are more like a bunch of teddy bears."

The excruciating pain from the severed arm, along with the intense discomfort throughout his body, caused the man's condition to deteriorate rapidly.

Instinct made him turn and run away, but the woman's words were too vicious, and the rising anger in his heart made him gradually stop in his tracks.

Turning his head, his two- Tomoe Sharingan intently at Watanabe Kaoru.

"You damned woman, listen to me carefully..."

"The Uchiha are not beings that you, a piece of trash, can humiliate!"

Desperately gathering his last Chakra, the man once again conjured blinding lightning in his palm.

Even if his eyes were to burst out on the spot, he would still forcefully shove his palm into the enemy's body.

"Fool." Watanabe Kaoru sneered, his mockery deepening.

In fact, no matter what the man did, he would only ever be met with her ridicule.

Prove?

What does this foolish act of going to one's death prove? Are the Uchiha a bunch of brain-dead idiots?

If it were her, she would have run away and disappeared without a trace long ago.

However, since it is others who are suffering now, that is naturally a different story.

I can run away, but if you run away, I will ridicule you mercilessly. That's Watanabe Kaoru's mindset.

A sophisticated and extreme egoist.

Pay the price for your stupidity.

Scorch Release - Over-Steam Kill!

Just as the man was about to die, a violent bolt of lightning descended from the sky and struck the two of them hard.

"What did you just say, woman?"

Kyosuke crossed his arms over his chest, and his terrifying killing intent caused Watanabe Kaoru's expression to change drastically.
