Pakura's Humiliation (Part Two)
On the battlefield.
Qingyu unleashed a slash with his sword.
Uchiha Style: Flame Flash!
This is also a sword technique recorded on the scroll given to him by Madara Uchiha. It can slash flames out at a faster speed and is a killing move designed specifically for quick attacks.
In terms of speed alone, it's even faster than "Uchiha Style: Flame Light Slash"!
The flames condensed into a thin line on the sword, which then transformed into a fan-shaped Flame Blade that shot through the air with the swinging motion.
Boom!
Pakura only managed to react at the last moment and wake up from the Genjutsu.
Seeing Qingyu's attack coming, Pakura hastily condensed a Scorch Release fireball in front of him, and the Flame Blade and the fireball collided instantly.
Although both are flames, they are formed from completely different Chakra.
In an instant, flames flew everywhere.
Pakura was thrown back several steps by the shockwave.
Before she could regain her footing, a barrage of fiery strikes came crashing down upon her.
Qingyu moved with incredible speed, her figure flashing rapidly, each movement accompanied by the slash of a Flame Blade.
Pakura dodged repeatedly.
She sidestepped a Flame Blade slashing down from the upper right, then leaned back to avoid a second one sweeping across, and leaped backward to dodge a third.
The Ninja Tool Pouch at his waist was struck by the aftershock of a Flame Blade, the rope snapped, and the entire Ninja Tool Pouch flew away.
Qingyu flashed forward and picked it up casually.
Seeing that Qingyu was holding her Ninja Tool Pouch in the distance, and even weighing it in his hand, Pakura was truly furious.
That brat is so awful.
Since the start of the war, she has not gained any advantage; on the contrary, she has been constrained at every turn.
Even though he was the one with the Kekkei Genkai, and his Chakra reserves and combat experience far surpassed the other's, why was he always a step behind in the fight?
Her expression turned extremely serious.
Pakura sensed that something was off about this kid.
She almost suffered a great loss at the hands of this brat because of her carelessness.
This can't go on.
Pakura took a deep breath and raised both arms overhead.
The Scorch Release Chakra within his body transformed into a massive fireball.
A red sun appeared overhead.
That fireball was far larger than any of the previous ones, and its surface was covered with magma-like patterns.
The fireball was spinning rapidly, and wind was flowing within the flames.
The wind fanned the flames, and the fire gained strength from the wind.
The surrounding sand began to melt under the high temperature.
The ground beneath Pakura's feet cracked at a visible rate, and the once moist sand lost all its moisture under the Scorch Release.
"Scorch Release - Scorch Release: Extreme Steam Killing!"
Pakura let out a low shout and hurled the huge fireball.
Boom!
A dazzling red light rose from the ground.
Centered on the point where the fireball landed, a huge hemispherical ball of light rapidly expanded, engulfing everything around it.
The temperature inside the ball of light was high enough to melt steel instantly, while the wind blades hidden in the high temperature cut all solids into fragments, and then the high temperature completely evaporated these fragments.
The roaring flames instantly engulfed the surrounding area.
Within seconds, the flames turned nearby trees into giant torches, which were then reduced to ashes by even more intense heat.
Seeing this, Orochimaru knew he couldn't watch any longer.
This range of attacks is beyond what Qingyu can handle on her own.
He reached out his hand, and dozens of long snakes emerged from his sleeve.
The snakes coiled Hyuga Ginka, who was standing not far away, and pulled her backward.
Before Hyuga Ginka could react, she was pulled back by the swarm of snakes.
"Qingyu ----"
Orochimaru turned around, and the swarm of snakes from his other sleeve shot towards Qingyu.
However, his hand stopped in mid-air.
Orochimaru discovered that Qingyu was already standing outside the blast radius.
Qingyu's figure was somewhat blurred by the heatwave, but judging from Qingyu steady Chakra aura, he had already made his escape the moment the fireball hit the ground.
It was even faster than his snake.
Orochimaru raised an eyebrow, then regained his composure and manipulated the swarm of snakes to carry Hyuga Ginka further backward.
"Qingyu ----"
Rin Nohara was somewhat worried.
She's alright.
Tsunade's sensory abilities are far superior to Rin Nohara's.
"What?! It can even move at that speed?!"
Pakura stood at the epicenter of the explosion, surrounded by lingering Scorch Release Chakra.
During the high-temperature explosion Scorch Release, Pakura was unable to see the outside world.
The surging Chakra will destroy everything and also obscure Pakura's vision.
She looked at Qingyu, who was standing unharmed in the distance, and was somewhat shocked.
That kid's Body Flicker Technique is amazing.
"Qingyu- kun's Body Flicker Technique is already faster than many Jonin."
Orochimaru stood on the sandstone in the distance and commented.
"You flatter me, Lord Orochimaru."
Qingyu shook her head.
He possesses twice the Chakra of Kakashi.
Furthermore, with the added bonus of the [Speedster] trait, they can unleash speeds far exceeding those of ordinary ninjas.
Seeing this, Pakura once again conjured a Scorch Release fireball with both hands.
However, at that moment, a white figure emerged from the ruins of the building behind them.
It was Kakashi.
His black mask was stained with several bloodstains as he sheathed his knife.
When Qingyu saw Kakashi come out, she nodded slightly to him.
Kakashi responded with a gesture indicating mission accomplished.
This means that the three spies who had infiltrated Konoha have been eliminated.
"It's time to retreat."
Orochimaru also saw Kakashi's gesture, so he chuckled, and the snakes in his sleeve released Hyuga Ginka and slowly retracted into his sleeve.
Their mission was to kill the spies lurking in Konoha, and Kakashi's appearance meant the mission was complete.
Continuing to fight Pakura here is pointless; it will only buy time for Sunagakure's reinforcements to encircle them.
Qingyu nodded, turning her gaze from the light to Pakura, who was panting heavily in the distance.
"Senior Pakura, please entrust your Ninja Tool Pouch to me for safekeeping."
After saying this, Qingyu turned and left with Orochimaru, Hyuga Ginka, and Kakashi.
Seeing this, Tsunade and Rin Nohara, who had been standing not far behind, quickly caught up.
As Tsunade passed by Qingyu, she reached out and patted him on the back of the head.
Don't do that again.
Tsunade spoke.
No one was injured this time, and neither she nor Rin Nohara were of any use.
But the fact that it didn't come in handy is actually the best outcome.
"Lord Pakura!"
Just as he was pondering whether to give chase, an Anbu the Sunagakure Anbu came rushing from the distant sand dunes, knelt on one knee in front of Pakura, and breathed heavily.
"All the spy ninjas in our village were just killed by that white-haired brat!"
"Other places have also been attacked by Minato Namikaze!"
Pakura stopped in her tracks.
She had been hesitant about going, but now it seemed that dealing with Minato Namikaze.
Minato Namikaze's harm far surpasses that of Qingyu.
But the thought of Qingyu's appearance almost made her tremble with anger.
The humiliation of being looked down upon by younger generations is more unbearable than being defeated itself.
"Walk!"
Pakura gritted her teeth, turned around, and her long, yellow-green hair swung in the air in an arc as she quickly followed the Sunagakure Anbu away.
Her Ninja Tool Pouch was still in that kid's hands. Besides the ninja tools, it also contained her reward for this mission and several backup intelligence reports that she hadn't had time to submit.
Hopefully, that brat won't discover what's hidden in the compartment.
Pakura thought this to himself, and quickened his pace.
Minato Namikaze is still on the battlefield; she has no time to waste here.
