Pakura followed behind him. Looking at the corpse of the Kirigakure jonin, who'd been killed in an instant, she was still shaken.
"You're Uchiha Aoya, right? I've heard of you."
Aoya glanced at her but said nothing, tacitly confirming it.
Looking at Aoya's youthful face, Pakura felt even more amazed.
What a monster...
Was the Uchiha Clan of Konoha really that ridiculous?
At just twelve years old, he was already as strong as she was... no, maybe even stronger!
For one thing, at his age, she certainly couldn't have killed a jonin so effortlessly.
"What exactly is going on here?"
Pakura couldn't help asking, "Kirigakure used peace talks as a pretext to ambush me? But why were you, a Konoha ninja, there too? And..."
"We can talk about that later."
Aoya waved off the question. "We're in the Land of Water. We need to get out of here first."
Pakura fell silent, anxious to know what was going on.
But she could still tell what mattered most, so she kept quiet.
She followed obediently behind Aoya to the cliff on the other side.
A scarlet barrier stood there too.
By the time they arrived, the barrier had just vanished.
Of the corpses scattered across the ground, only two people remained: Kakashi Hatake and another of Aoya's Shadow Clones.
Looking at the bodies of the Kirigakure Ninja, Pakura gritted her teeth. She wanted nothing more than to blast them with Scorch Release and turn every last one into a dried-up husk!
Damn Kirigakure!
They'd hidden so many people here to ambush her!
Kakashi was panting, his clothes covered in blood, but he himself was unharmed.
When Aoya and Pakura approached, his eyes flickered as he asked, "Is it done?"
"Yeah."
Aoya nodded.
Their mission was over.
The peace talks between Sunagakure
