Konan and the others' argument didn't affect Qingshui and Pakura's battle. At this moment, Pakura was getting anxious.
Qingshui's strength had exceeded her expectations. Her plan to win through rapid offense now seemed impossible.
Of course, she couldn't just admit defeat. Instead, she was thinking of a way to break the stalemate.
Speaking of which, she actually still had a technique she hadn't used.
But because that move had only been created recently, her proficiency wasn't high enough.
If she made a mistake, let alone defeating Qingshui, she might even get injured herself, or even endanger her subordinates.
So, for a moment, she hesitated.
Just as Pakura was hesitating whether to use the new technique, Qingshui prepared to end this battle.
He dodged the fireball attack once again, then retreated, creating some distance from Pakura.
At the same time, he held his sword horizontally across his chest with one hand and swung it like willow catkins.
Konoha Ryūyanagi!
This was the illusionary sword technique Kosuke had taught Qingshui before. As an S-Rank difficulty technique, he had spent over a month learning it in total.
And this was with the aid of Shadow Clones, which showed that S-Rank techniques were indeed not that easy to learn.
Fortunately, his efforts paid off. Just yesterday, he had finally mastered it.
Now, facing Pakura, he could use it.
Because this move had a great advantage: it didn't require Hand Seals!
The next instant, Pakura's eyes flashed with numerous leaves dancing in the wind, and Qingshui's figure disappeared.
At the same time, she found herself unable to move.
This was precisely the manifestation of falling into Qingshui's Genjutsu within Konoha Ryūyanagi.
With Pakura's strength, she would definitely have realized immediately that this was Qingshui's Genjutsu.
While surprised that Qingshui knew such a powerful Genjutsu, she quickly dispelled it herself.
But it was already too late.
As the Genjutsu was dispelled, Qingshui had already rushed in front of her and slashed down with his sword.
Blood immediately flowed!
The victor was decided!
Her Three Subordinates' faces changed drastically as they watched Teacher Pakura fall.
Teacher Pakura lost to an unknown person?
They felt like they were dreaming.
But no matter how unwilling they were to accept reality, Teacher Pakura had truly been defeated by Qingshui.
"Teacher Pakura!"
Seeing Teacher Pakura lying on the ground, bleeding profusely, they rushed forward to check on her, completely disregarding their mission target, Okubo Yahiko.
In contrast to their reaction, Konan and Yahiko cheered.
"Yay, I knew Qingshui Big Brother wouldn't lose!"
"Qingshui Big Brother is so strong!"
Even Nagato was swept up in the atmosphere, a smile appearing on his face.
However, compared to Konan and Yahiko, he was a bit reserved.
"I, I'm fine," Teacher Pakura said, surrounded by her subordinates, but her condition clearly didn't seem to match her words.
"I lost. I didn't expect you to be so strong. We'll abandon this mission."
Although proud, she wasn't someone who couldn't accept defeat.
Upon hearing this, Qingshui smiled and nodded, then stepped forward, only to be immediately blocked by Teacher Pakura's three subordinates with wary expressions.
"We've already abandoned the mission. What else do you want?"
"There's no need to be so wary. I'm a Medical Genin, and I can help treat your teacher. Her condition isn't good right now."
As soon as he said this, all four of them, including Teacher Pakura, looked at him in disbelief.
"You said you're a Medical Genin?"
As everyone knew, although Medical Ninjas had strong Chakra control and could learn difficult Medical Ninjutsu, they were not good in combat and needed companions to protect them when on missions.
And now, the person who could defeat even a Kekkei Genkai user like Teacher Pakura was a Medical Ninja?
And a Genin at that!
This was not scientific, nor was it ninja-like.
Facing their doubts, Qingshui smiled and nodded, then walked to Pakura and began to treat her.
When she saw that Qingshui could indeed use Medical Ninjutsu, Pakura looked at him with a complicated expression.
At this moment, she only felt that the world was too crazy!
Medical Ninjas could actually possess such strong combat power!
Qingshui was unaware of what Pakura was thinking, nor did he care. He was currently focused on the treatment.
Pakura held a significant position within Sunagakure, after all, she was an extremely rare Jonin with a Kekkei Genkai.
And now, it was the Peaceful Era after the Second Shinobi World War.
Therefore, he naturally couldn't kill Pakura directly. He had held back earlier, only severely injuring her.
Of course, the more important reason was that healing Pakura after severely injuring her was the way to maximize his benefits.
Who told him he was bound to the Medical Ninja System.
Qingshui would definitely not do something like intentionally injuring a comrade and then healing them.
After all, he wasn't a demon.
However, occasionally seizing the opportunity to do it once or twice was fine.
As long as it wasn't too frequent.
And at this moment, doing such a thing to Pakura, who was from another ninja village, he had no psychological burden.
Soon, Qingshui finished treating Pakura.
[Completed treatment of Pakura, rewarded with one Golden Orb.]
[Congratulations on obtaining Scorching Style: Kasenpō.]
In an instant, a large amount of information about Kasenpō appeared in Qingshui's mind.
This was a jutsu developed by Pakura using Scorching Style, and its power was terrifying.
But soon, Qingshui discovered a problem.
Although he had obtained Kasenpō, he couldn't use this move at all because he lacked the Scorching Style Kekkei Genkai.
Qingshui now possessed all elemental Chakra affinities, but previously, his Chakra affinity was only Water Style.
And in the past, when he obtained ninjutsu like Fire Style, even without mastering the nature transformation of Fire Style, he could forcibly use the obtained Fire Style ninjutsu.
It was just that using it wouldn't be as smooth as Water Style ninjutsu.
The reason for this is that Chakra natures are relatively easy to obtain through training.
Basically, Jonin will master multiple Chakra natures.
But Scorching Style is different; it belongs to Kekkei Genkai. You either have it or you don't.
Although it can also be obtained through training, the difficulty coefficient is much higher.
If the difficulty of the former is equivalent to the multiplication table, then the difficulty of the latter is definitely no less than advanced calculus and differential equations.
If only Pakura's strength could be a bit stronger, reaching Kage-level.
After all, if the strength of the person being healed reaches Kage-level, a Color Orb will be rewarded. The rewards obtained could very likely be Scorching Style directly.
This is much better than simply being given a Kekkei Genkai jutsu scroll.
If only Pakura could hear Qingshui's inner thoughts, she might have said, "I'm so sorry I couldn't satisfy Lord Qingshui."
At this moment, Pakura, who had been healed by Qingshui, looked at Qingshui and asked.
"Are you really just a Genin?"
If Qingshui were a Medical Ninja, she could barely accept it, as some Medical Ninjas themselves possess considerable combat power.
But if Qingshui is just a Genin, Pakura finds it hard to accept.
She, a dignified Jonin of Sunagakure, is she worse than a Genin of Konoha?
"I have no reason to lie to you. I am indeed just a Genin."
