"Hiss, is this the strength of Star—no, of Brother Uchiha Chen?"
"Taking on a hundred enemies alone, isn't that just terrifying?"
"Uchiha Chen is truly the savior of our Hot Spring Village!"
The onlookers from Hot Spring Village stood dumbfounded, watching the scene unfold before them. They never imagined that Uchiha Chen could crush a group of Sunagakure Village ninjas with such overwhelming dominance!
"Pakura, you've come at the right time! Go up there and finish him off!"
Seeing Pakura appear before him, Jaki's eyes lit up. Ignoring his own injuries, he immediately urged her on with a commanding tone.
Although the three brothers did not get along with Pakura, her strength was undeniable; at a time like this, she was the only one who could step in.
The ninjas of Hot Spring Village, who had been feeling amazed and excited by Uchiha Chen's one-man defeat of the Sunagakure battalion, froze when they heard the name Pakura.
"Pakura? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before."
"Wait, I remember now! This Pakura is a user of the Kekkei Genkai from Sunagakure Village—Scorch Release!"
"What? Is that the highly decorated Pakura who is famous throughout all of Sunagakure?"
"Brother Chen, be careful of this woman! Her strength is terrifying!!"
The ninjas of Hot Spring Village hurriedly called out to warn him.
"Kekkei Genkai—Scorch Release?"
Uchiha Chen looked Pakura up and down, the corners of his mouth curling slightly as a rare spark of interest ignited within him.
Of course, this wasn't because of Pakura's ample bosom, which rivaled Tsunade's, but because she was the first Kekkei Genkai ninja he had encountered outside of Konoha.
"Pakura, seeing the enemy and still not acting? Are you trying to betray our Sunagakure Village?"
Seeing that Pakura still hadn't moved, Jaki immediately slapped a heavy accusation onto her.
Pakura clenched her fists, struggling to ignore Jaki's taunts. She closed her eyes to steady herself; judging by the battle so far, this member of the Uchiha Clan was definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Slowly opening her eyes, a fierce glint flashed through her gaze, and she ultimately chose to strike first.
"Scorch Release—Flame Bullet!"
Pakura gracefully extended her arms, slowly raising them as four perfectly round fireballs formed. The fireballs rose above her head, spinning rapidly until they merged into one massive sphere of flame.
Like a falling meteor, the enormous fireball plummeted straight toward Uchiha Chen.
The power of this fireball was clearly greater than the ones used moments before.
"Water Release—Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
As Pakura made her move, Uchiha Chen focused his mind, instantly casting an advanced version of the Water Dragon Bullet Technique.
Four water pillars, each as thick as a vat, spiraled up around him, manifesting into four lifelike, gargantuan water dragons.
With a long roar, the four dragons merged together, transforming into an even more colossal water dragon.
A dragon's cry that shook the heavens echoed out as it dove down, colliding head-on with the massive fireball.
"BOOM!!"
The moment the fireball struck the water dragon, it exploded!
A massive shockwave radiated outward in all directions, destroying everything in its path. Even the stone slabs on the ground were not spared from the devastation.
Even Uchiha Chen, not wanting to be caught in the blast, performed several backflips to reach a safe zone.
Watching the shockwave expand and draw closer, Pakura's brow furrowed, a flicker of internal struggle crossing her face.
Immediately after, Pakura leaped away as well, escaping the danger zone.
"Lady Pakura, help me!!"
The few remaining Sunagakure ninjas behind Jaki screamed in terror and despair.
"Pakura, how dare you betray me?!"
"You bastard, my older brothers won't let you get away with this!"
"Pakura, I was wrong, save me!!"
Seeing the cold expression on Pakura's face and the encroaching shockwave, Jaki finally realized the gravity of the situation!
He desperately wanted to flee, but the wounds all over his body made it impossible.
Jaki finally broke, begging for mercy.
Yet, Pakura remained unmoved, allowing Jaki and the others to be swallowed by the blast.
As the storm subsided, revealing the corpses of Jaki and the other Sunagakure ninjas, Pakura narrowed her eyes and muttered to herself, "Lord Jaki died at the hands of the Uchiha Clan while fighting for the glory of Sunagakure!"
Damn, I've been framed?
A hundred meters away, Uchiha Chen looked at Pakura in disbelief. This kunoichi was quite beautiful, but he hadn't expected her to be such a ruthless character.
Although the storm had blocked his view for a moment, Uchiha Chen, with his Sharingan, had clearly seen exactly what had happened on her side.
Given Pakura's strength, she was fully capable of saving the few Sunagakure Village ninjas, yet she chose to let them die.
However, it was not hard to understand; judging by the attitude of that Sunagakure ninja from earlier, they clearly did not get along.
"You brat from the Uchiha Clan, how dare you kill our Lord Jaki of Sunagakure Village! I won't let you get away with this!"
Pakura pointed at Uchiha Chen, roaring in fury.
Watching Pakura's indignant expression, the corner of Uchiha Chen's eye twitched. Good grief, is this acting a bit too realistic?
"What?! Who killed my third brother??"
Just as Uchiha Chen was about to speak, a booming voice suddenly erupted from the distance like a thunderclap.
Within a few breaths, two figures surged forward rapidly, followed by a troop of hundreds.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
A large figure and a smaller one appeared abruptly beside the fallen corpse of Jaki.
These two were none other than the brothers Fuki and Yuki.
"Third Brother!!!"
The moment they saw Jaki's body, Fuki and Yuki's eyes split with rage.
"Pakura, who exactly harmed my third brother!!"
Fuki looked at Pakura, his eyes bloodshot and his body trembling; he was clearly pushed to the brink of madness.
"It was him, a ninja from the Uchiha Clan!"
Pakura pointed at Uchiha Chen with a look of "grief."
Uchiha Chen: ...
Uchiha Chen did not offer any defense against Pakura's accusation, as it would have been meaningless.
After all, even if Pakura hadn't moved to kill those men, he would have done it himself, so there was no real difference.
"Ah!! I'll kill you!!"
Yuki charged directly at Uchiha Chen. With his massive frame, he looked like a rampaging, mindless bear, crashing forward recklessly.
In just a few seconds, Yuki reached Uchiha Chen.
Yuki's fist, hard as steel, smashed down toward Uchiha Chen's forehead.
"Is that it?"
Uchiha Chen tilted his head slightly, dodging Yuki's attack, and immediately followed up with a kick to Yuki's abdomen!
With a muffled grunt, Yuki flew backward, crashing into the ground, yet he still couldn't stop his momentum, carving a long trench into the earth.
