A year had not been enough for him to complete the transformation from an ordinary ninja into a Kage Level powerhouse. Even Orochimaru had to admit, though, that Suifeng now possessed Kage Level strength. Against a Kage Level powerhouse like Pakura, he could handle himself with ease.
In the end, Pakura barely came out anymore.
There was no point. Not only was it useless, but she also had to endure Suifeng's insults.
Yes, Pakura had lost half an ear in the barrier—not a whole ear, just half. After treatment at the Sand Ninja hospital, it had nearly healed. But every time she ran into Suifeng, he called her "One-Ear, One-Ear." Sometimes he would even come out with things like, "What do you think of me raising a black cat? Scared?" The words made no sense to her, but the malice behind them was unmistakable. Pakura felt like Suifeng was about to drive her mad.
As Pakura gradually settled down, the battlefield at Sunagakure grew quieter too.
Meanwhile, after taking a serious loss to Suifeng, Danzo had wanted to pay him back in kind. Unfortunately, Orochimaru wouldn't give him the chance. Danzo took stock of the forces at his disposal and was startled to realize that he really had no way to deal with Suifeng.
He had no powerful subordinates who could hold their own. By now, he didn't even dare show his face in front of Suifeng...
It wasn't just Danzo himself. The Root ninja under his command could no longer keep tabs on Suifeng either.
Under Suifeng's damn Sensory Ninjutsu, even Root's most skilled infiltrators couldn't escape detection. Suifeng had now openly set himself against Root, telling Orochimaru to his face that he would kill every Root ninja he came across. Unlike other Konoha Ninja, he had no qualms
