As Ye Ning watched the aloof figure beside him, who had remained silent the entire time, a hint of curiosity flashed through his eyes.
Ever since he had placed Pakura in the Anbu, Ye Ning had rarely seen this Scorch Release ninja who had left some mark in the original story. Of course, that might also have been because Ye Ning had not paid much attention to her.
He had not expected that she would be the one delivering the message to him today.
Tsk, tsk. I wonder if she has let go of the hatred in her heart...
Noticing Ye Ning's gaze, Pakura shifted uncomfortably and could not help raising her head to ask, "Why do you keep looking at me?"
"Don't misunderstand. I'm not interested in you." Ye Ning waved a hand, his eyes carrying a trace of inquiry. "I just want to know—do you still harbor any hatred toward Sunagakure...?"
Not... interested in her?
Pakura froze, then gritted her teeth in irritation and nearly forced out the words through clenched teeth.
"Then I really should thank Lord Ye Ning for having no interest in me!"
After saying that, Pakura took several deep breaths, barely calming her emotions before returning to her usual aloof demeanor.
"So what if I hate them? So what if I don't? Is that question so important?"
Hmm?
Is she about to become a nun?
Ye Ning rubbed his chin, a thoughtful look filling his eyes.
Could she have seen through the vanity of the mortal world?
He remembered that Pakura's hatred for Rasa and Sunagakure had nearly reached the heavens back then! How long had it been since they last met? Had she already seen through worldly matters and let go of her hatred?
Could he consider sending Pakura to the Fire Temple,
