But just at that moment.
A soft voice, yet one that plunged him into an abyss, echoed in his ears.
"Finished laughing? Then I can send you on your way..."
The vision before Tsuruta Zetsu blurred, then sharpened once more.
Genya held a kunai pressed against his chest.
Within his scarlet eyes, two tomoe emerged.
"Genjutsu: Between Reality and Illusion."
This was an A-rank genjutsu Genya had recently learned, capable of trapping an enemy in an environment where they experienced hallucinations as if they were real events.
Just moments ago, Genya had used this technique to trap Tsuruta Zetsu in an illusion, leading him to believe he had blown the former to pieces.
"Are you a Senju of Konoha, or an Uchiha?" Seeing Genya use both Wood Style and the Sharingan in succession, Tsuruta Zetsu gave a miserable laugh, his curiosity piqued regarding Genya's true identity.
"I'm your father!"
The kunai plunged into Tsuruta Zetsu's heart.
Thirteen rogue ninjas from Kirigakure, all completely wiped out!
Following this.
Genya unleashed Wood Style to begin devouring the chakra of the Mist ninjas.
"Energy value +1370."
"Energy value +520."
"Energy value +476."
Sage Body: Lv2 (99.54/1 million) → Sage Body: Lv3 (1210/10 million.)
Sage Body upgraded to level 3!
Genya opened the system.
Host: Uchiha Genya
Gender: Male.
Age: 8.
Appearance: Extremely high.
Affiliation: Uchiha.
Ninjutsu: Substitution Technique, Clone Technique, Transformation Technique, Shadow Clone Technique, Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique, Majestic Destroyer Flame, Wind Release: Gale, Mystical Palm Technique, Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique, Genjutsu: Between Reality and Illusion, Wood Style: Cutting Technique, Wood Style: Strangulation Technique, Wood Style: Wood Locking Wall, Wood Style: Great Forest Technique.
Kekkei Genkai: Sharingan Lv2 (712/1 million), Sage Body Lv3 (1210/10 million), Wood Style Lv2 (1876/1 million).
Chakra: 200/8000 (Average Jonin 1000).
Chakra Reserve: 4280/40,000 (Can store 5 times own chakra).
The Sage Body had finally reached level 3!
He clenched his fist lightly.
Genya felt as though his entire body was brimming with inexhaustible power.
Most importantly.
His chakra capacity had increased several times over.
Genya's daily chakra output was 8000; after deducting one-tenth to maintain his bodily functions, he could use 7200 points of chakra every day to upgrade his Kekkei Genkai.
In one year.
Genya would be able to raise his Sharingan and Wood Style to level 3!
By then, he would obtain the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and two additional secret Wood Style techniques!
Looking at the panel, Genya grumbled, "The energy required to upgrade a Kekkei Genkai from level 3 to level 4 is just too much!"
To upgrade from level 3 to level 4, it actually required 10 million energy points.
If he relied solely on his own chakra, it would take at least four years to upgrade just one.
That was quite a long time.
Fortunately, Genya was still young and could take his time.
Or, he could consider devouring the chakra of Tailed Beasts.
But all of this had to be predicated on ensuring his own safety.
After all, the strength of every Tailed Beast was immense.
Just as Genya finished cleaning up and intended to leave.
A figure in the distance approached rapidly.
Her voice was as crisp and melodious as silver bells.
"To think that in my lifetime, I would actually see Konoha's Wood Release; it is truly my honor!"
Genya stood motionless, gazing from afar at the figure approaching from the distance.
She was a woman, roughly eighteen years of age, wearing a Sunagakure forehead protector. The front of her hair was orange, while the back was dark green.
A single hairpin held her hair in place.
Her appearance was beautiful and charming, with a faint smile playing at the corners of her lips.
What drew the most attention was her stunning figure.
Only slightly inferior to Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, she was a woman whose face and physique could both be called perfect.
It's actually Pakura of Sunagakure! Genya's gaze sharpened, and he muttered to himself.
Pakura was a Jonin of Sunagakure and possessed the only Scorch Release Kekkei Genkai in the ninja world.
Scorch Release was a Kekkei Genkai formed by combining wind-style and fire-style chakra.
When unleashed, it could instantly evaporate all the moisture within an enemy's body, leaving them as nothing more than a dried-up corpse.
Pakura was a hero of Sunagakure, having rendered great service to the village throughout her short life.
Later, due to a trade of interests between Sunagakure and Kirigakure.
Pakura was lured to Kirigakure by the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, under the guise of a secret mission, only to die tragically under a hail of kunai.
A look of contemplation appeared on Genya's face.
The Land of Bears bordered the Land of Water.
Since Pakura had appeared here, her next step must be to head to Kirigakure to carry out the "secret mission" Rasa had spoken of!
This was sending Pakura to her death!
What was Rasa thinking?
It was truly a pity for the only Scorch Release Kekkei Genkai in the series!
"You must be a test subject for Konoha's Wood Release, right?" A faint smile emerged on Pakura's beautiful face.
She had heard that Tsunade was the only one left of the Senju Clan in Konoha, but since Tsunade did not possess Wood Release, she assumed Genya was a Konoha experiment.
After all, the power of a Kekkei Genkai like Wood Release was simply too formidable.
No village would ever abandon such power!
"Big sister is quite sharp-witted. I'm considering whether I should kill you to protect this secret." Genya neither confirmed nor denied, deliberately misleading her.
Since Pakura hadn't mentioned the Sharingan, it proved she hadn't noticed him using it earlier; his identity as an Uchiha remained unexposed.
Though, he had been using the Sharingan at close range just moments ago.
It was normal that she hadn't noticed.
"Little brother, talking big can easily twist your tongue. Be careful, or big sister might just spank you later!" Pakura covered her mouth and chuckled.
Seeing that Genya was only eight or nine years old.
Yet already possessed Jonin-level strength.
Pakura felt a great deal of shock.
However, since the boy had just fought against Kirigakure rogue ninjas, he must have consumed a massive amount of chakra, which was why Pakura felt confident enough to appear.
Moreover, she possessed the devastating power of Scorch Release.
Every ninja had their own pride and self-confidence!
She wasn't intimidated by Genya in the slightest.
Spank me!? Genya glanced at the same part of Pakura's anatomy, then muttered in a voice only he could hear, "Perhaps it will be me spanking you instead..."
Pakura continued to speak.
"I think that as a test subject of Konoha, you probably don't receive the respect you deserve in the village. Why not come back to Sunagakure with me? There are many friendly companions there."
The strength Genya had displayed just now was truly shocking.
If she could bring him back.
For Sunagakure.
It would absolutely be a powerful asset!
Friendly companions? Genya immediately thought of the One-Tail Jinchuriki, Gaara.
How could he possibly be considered friendly???
Seeing that Genya remained unmoved.
Pakura continued to persuade him, "Sunagakure has always treated talent well. Whether it is money or wealth, we can give it all to you."
Genya let out an "Oh," and with a half-smile, said, "Big sister, can you give yourself to me then?"
Hearing this, Pakura froze for a moment before she began to laugh, her frame trembling in a way that was incredibly alluring.
After she finished laughing.
Pakura's expression turned as cold as frost in an instant, and she spoke, enunciating every word.
"Little brother, if you speak nonsense, big sister will have to cut out your tongue!"
With that said.
Pakura tapped her toes against the ground and, agile as a night cat, she lunged forward, kicking up a gust of wind from the earth!
Since he wouldn't take the soft approach.
Then she would use the hard one!
She would break his legs and drag him back!
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Both of them used kunai, clashing in the open clearing.
He had used up quite a bit of his reserve chakra while fighting the Mist Village rogue ninjas earlier, but he still had over 4,000 points left.
His chakra was still abundant!
"Hm?" Genya frowned slightly.
He had infused his kunai with Wind Release chakra, making it incredibly sharp, yet it couldn't cut through Pakura's kunai.
Looking closely, Genya realized.
It turned out that Pakura's kunai.
Also had Wind Release chakra flowing through it!
On the battlefield, it was either you die or I live.
