Chapter 86

Guren: "What?"

"No... it's nothing..."

Akito shook his head, offering a slight remark.

The meaning is very simple.

Chiyo is slippery, and the old lady is a master at running away.

In the original manga Shippuden era, people aged to the point of "9".

The speed of the elderly Hiruzen Sarutobi is only "6".

This shows just how incredible Chiyo's speed was, allowing her to fight Hanzō multiple times Chiyo this period.

Even if it were him, he might not be able to completely keep her.

Ideally...

The next second, several figures appeared running on the opposite hillside.

Akito's eyes lit up. "Just as I thought..."

The person who came was the one he had been hoping for.

The Hero of the Sunagakure, a fair-skinned, long-legged, mature woman... Pakura.

27. His merits overshadowed those of his master.

The Sunagakure front is teetering on the brink of collapse.

The Sunagakure forces stationed here are personally led by Rasa.

Previously, they had achieved remarkable results by joining forces with Konoha to ambush Akatsuki and Hanzō.

The Akatsuki Organization was crippled.

Hanzō was severely injured.

The only problem now is...

Is Hanzō alive?

If treated promptly with Medical Ninjutsu, their strength will recover to some extent.

To confirm this.

After discussing with the high-ranking members of Sunagakure, Rasa dispatched the hero of Sunagakure, Pakura.

The reason it's Pakura and not someone else is because...

Besides because of her abilities.

His growing influence and ability to overshadow his master became a source of great anxiety for Rasa.

In Sunagakure, Pakura's call was met with overwhelming support.

Standing on the high platform.

All it takes is a swing of the arm.

The entire Sunagakure will be in an uproar.

Unlike himself, who was a disciple of the Third Kazekage.

Pakura truly rose through the ranks by accumulating merits from the bottom up.

The catalyst for the Third Shinobi World War.

It's the disappearance of the previous Kazekage.

He was the newly appointed Wind Kazekage, tasked with a critical mission.

And who knows how many people secretly resent this?

In the previous ambush of Hanzō, Pakura performed brilliantly.

Everyone saw it.

This makes her contributions seem endless.

If things continue like this, one day...

Pakura will seize the position of Kazekage.

Therefore, I am not the only one who wants to get rid of her.

Other elder groups in Sunagakure with close ties to the community share this view.

So.

This time, Pakura was dispatched to Amegakure.

Just like when Konoha sent the Uchiha to Amegakure.

These are all acts of sacrificing pawns to explore new avenues.

Let's assume that Pakura and Hanzō are able to fight.

That would be perfect.

Ideally, she would be severely injured, or even die.

After all, her mission was to work with the Konoha ninjas to kidnap Asuka and establish a puppet regime in Amegakure.

You cannot return if you fail to complete the mission.

This forces her to confront Hanzō.

Either Hanzō dies, or she dies.

Even so, Rasa was still not entirely at ease.

He thought for a moment, then said to the Anbu beside him, "Go to Amegakure immediately and observe Pakura's movements. Report back to me immediately if anything happens."

"Yes, Lord Kazekage."

The group of Anbu departed.

Rasa was slightly relieved.

As long as Pakura dies.

One's position will be secure, because no one else's status or reputation can surpass one's.

Wow...

Rain fell.

Standing on the hillside, Pakura watched with great interest the figure blocking his way.

With a wave of her hand, she first stopped her companion's impending attack.

Then, he said to Akito, "I never imagined... I never imagined... that insignificant kid back then was actually the culprit behind everything..."

She looked the Akito up and down.

Missed it twice.

All of this caused her to miss her chance.

The murderer was right in front of them, yet he managed to escape several times.

On the Akito's side, they were also sizing up Pakura.

Fair-skinned, beautiful, and with long legs.

The sleeveless, tight-fitting backless top and safety shorts, along with the short skirt, all demonstrated Pakura's absolute confidence in her appearance and figure.

At first glance, she's a stunning beauty.

The sandstorms of Sunagakure did not affect her fair skin.

The unique DNA modification properties of the Scorch Release Kekkei Genkai make her fearless of ordinary flames and gales.

She was born with resistance to high temperatures Wind Release.

His first move was a Scorch Release fireball that could turn a human body into a dried-up mummy.

If necessary, the Scorch Release can also trigger a violent explosion.

It is a terrifying Kekkei Genkai that combines multiple destructive forces such as heat radiation, hot air, high temperature, and explosion.

Conventional Earth Release techniques, Fire Release techniques... can all be penetrated by Scorch Release.

This renders defense in the conventional sense meaningless.

Even Water Release defensive technique.

Even against the brutality of the Scorch Release technique, its effectiveness is greatly reduced.

It's far less effective than when facing Fire Release opponent.

In addition, Pakura can fly using the hot air currents created by Scorch Release.

This makes her an extremely well-rounded and troublesome individual.

As for the drawbacks...

Perhaps Pakura's true form has not yet become a true superhuman, and she still cannot avoid sword and knife wounds.

This is her only weakness.

"Good."

After observing him, Akito realized this was the third time he had encountered Pakura.

Whether it's her physique and appearance, or her abilities, she's quite impressive.

This can also serve as a touchstone for my current abilities.

"Um?"

Pakura raised a question.

What's good?

"You saw me... and you're still not running? Do you think I haven't recognized you yet?"

Pakura laughed.

In her eyes, Akito was already a dead man.

Before heading to Amegakure, Pakura casually dealt with the small fry and didn't mind playing around with Akito.

Then, Pakura glanced at Guren.

Is she the spy Konoha planted?

He gave me a look.

Several subordinates immediately rushed towards Guren. Since she was a spy, they would launch a feint attack.

Upon seeing this, Guren immediately prepared to Hand Seals.

At the same time.

Pakura suddenly waved his hand.

Laugh!

The Kunai, imbued with Wind Release Chakra, instantly surpassed the speed of sound, triggering an explosion.

They make joking remarks, but use the most ruthless methods.

In less than 0.1 seconds.

The Kunai traversed the distance between them.

Carrying immense kinetic energy and cutting force, it struck the Akito.

Caught off guard.

The Akito was hit in the chest.
