Pakura vs. Qingyu, Orochimaru's Surprise (First Update)

Pakura had made up her mind; even if she left, she would leave Qingyu behind first.

Thinking of this, scorching fireballs appeared in her hands.

You can vaguely see wind flowing inside the fireball, making it spin.

In an instant, Qingyu could feel a scorching heat rushing towards her, as if she were standing in front of the sun.

This is the Scorch Release Fireball, capable of instantly evaporating the moisture inside an opponent's body.

The next moment, without the slightest hesitation, Qingyu's eyes revealed the Two-Tomoe Sharingan, with the two Tomoe spinning rapidly in his scarlet pupils.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Qingyu Hand Seals and quickly released Water Release Ninjutsu.

The sand beneath his feet suddenly exploded, and a thick water dragon surged from the ground, its fangs menacing, lunging fiercely at the fireball.

Boom!

The moment the water dragon collided with the fireball, white steam swept outwards like a giant wave, completely obscuring the view. Only the hissing sound of water and fire devouring each other could be heard from within the steam.

Pakura frowned.

Through the rising white mist, she saw Qingyu quickly adjust her position behind the water dragon.

Just now, Qingyu only managed to form a few Hand Seal for that "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique".

It's important to know that this technique usually requires forty-four Hand Seal.

Even for Jonin has been immersed in Water Release for many years, it is by no means easy to release the Water Dragon Bullet Technique so smoothly in actual combat.

How could someone so young master such Water Release Ninjutsu? What kind of monster has Konoha raised?

Thinking of this, Pakura became even more certain that Qingyu was a genius and felt that he could not be allowed to live.

If such a promising talent is allowed to grow unchecked, he will surely become a major threat to Sunagakure in the future.

As a hero of Sunagakure, she has a duty to keep Qingyu here forever.

And in the rear.

Tsunade frowned slightly.

The Slug waved its tentacles and said, "Don't worry, Lady Tsunade, Lord Orochimaru is still watching over us."

Tsunade nodded.

Of course she knew Orochimaru was there.

But I still couldn't suppress my worry.

Just like that feeling when I stood behind Nawaki back then, knowing he was strong enough, but still unable to resist wanting to rush up and pull him back.

Tsunade a deep breath; even if she went forward, it would be useless.

Suffering from Hemophobia, she could only work in the back as a support ninja, becoming a purely medical-nin.

Ahead.

Qingyu used the "Body Flicker Technique" to increase the distance.

His figure left a trail of afterimages on the sand, and he had already retreated dozens of meters away.

Pakura, however, pursued relentlessly.

She gathered Wind Release Chakra at the soles of her feet, leaving a shallow scorch mark on the sand with each step, and her long, yellow-green hair fluttered in the wind.

--

"You little brat, you think you can escape!"

Qingyu flipped in the air, her gaze locked onto Pakura's movement.

He stepped back just now, not to run away.

Instead, you need to find a distance that is more suitable for your output.

With Sharingan, every move Pakura made was clearly captured and predicted.

Qingyu Hand Seals.

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!

He extracted Chakra from his body and then exhaled it from his mouth.

The flames formed the shape of a dragon's head and instantly swept towards Pakura.

Pakura's pupils contracted.

She never expected that a ninja who had just used Water Release could switch to Fire Release Ninjutsu of the same scale so quickly.

This requires an extremely high degree of control over two completely different attribute changes.

Jonin is one who can skillfully master both Chakra natures!

Pakura Hand Seals.

Bang!

Her body turned into a wisp of white smoke, leaving behind an afterimage of the "Substitution Technique".

The Fiery Dragon pierced through the white smoke and crushed the substitute wooden stake in one bite; the wood chips were burned to ashes by the remaining flames in mid-air.

Pakura's true form emerged from the flank.

She lowered her center of gravity, almost gliding along the sand, and a brand new Scorch Release fireball had already condensed in her right palm.

Once she gets close enough, she can evaporate all the moisture from this brat with a single blow.

However, just as she was about to enter the attack range, Qingyu slightly turned her head to one side.

Those crimson Sharingan stared straight in her direction.

Wrong.

Pakura's heart skipped a beat.

He predicted it!

Sharingan Genjutsu!

Qingyu's pupils suddenly contracted, Two-Tomoe spun rapidly.

A chilling Chakra emanated from his eyes, piercing towards Pakura's consciousness.

Pakura had already taken precautions.

She had fought against the Uchiha Clan ninjas on the battlefield and knew all too well how terrifying those eyes were.

She lowered her head beforehand.

After dodging, she began to pursue Qingyu.

"This kid is as slippery as an eel!"

Pakura grew impatient; she realized that Qingyu was faster than her.

Known as the Scorch Release: Pakura, she was the most prominent among the younger generation of Sunagakure, and had never been so easily fooled before.

But here's the problem.

Her talent in the Scorch Release technique is unmatched, but her mastery of the Body Flicker Technique is only average.

The speed of this kid in front of me far exceeds the level of a normal Genin, and is even faster than many Jonin.

Pakura took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

Since we can't catch up, we'll make up for the speed difference with attacks that have a wider coverage area.

She refined the Wind Release Chakra.

Scorch Release is a combination of Wind Release and Fire Release, so she is proficient in both of these elemental Ninjutsu.

Since speed alone isn't enough to catch up, let's use the speed of Wind Release to lock onto the target.

Her fingers Hand Seals.

[Collectible trait detected: Hand Seal]

[D-Rank Trait: Hand Seal]

[Effect: Increases Hand Seals speed by 30%.]

Qingyu ignored the text prompts that appeared before him, his attention focused entirely on the battlefield.

He channeled his Water Release Chakra into the Sword of the Thunder God.

Water flowed across the sword, creating ripples that spread across its surface.

The sunlight, stirred by the flowing water, became dazzling and mesmerizing.

Water Release: Kyoka Suigetsu!

Pakura's pupils suddenly contracted.

She never expected that a ninja with the Sharingan would possess such exquisite Water Release Ninjutsu.

What shocked her even more was that she hadn't noticed the flow of Yin Release Chakra within it.

A combination of Yin Release and Water Release?

For a moment, Pakura's consciousness went into a daze.

Countless figures of Qingyu seemed to be reflected in those suspended water droplets, each performing a different action, making it impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion.

On the sandstone behind them, Orochimaru was ready to provide support at any moment.

However, Qingyu's move caught Orochimaru completely off guard.

"Hehe."

He laughed.

Qingyu did a really beautiful job.

This brat was able to conceal Yin Release Chakra in the water without anyone noticing. How deep must his understanding of these two types of Chakra Nature Transformation be?

His understanding of the nature of Chakra is so profound that it far exceeds his age.

Orochimaru stuck out the tip of his tongue and slowly licked the corner of his mouth.

If Qingyu can maintain this rate of growth, he will be a very interesting card in the upcoming war.
