Scorch Release Pakura

Grandma Chiyo and Ebizō were clearly up to no good. The most likely possibility was that they intended to release the Nine-Tails.

Tap, tap, tap...

The Hidden Sand ninja closed in and flung a handful of shuriken, but Qian Yun instantly turned into a wooden stump.

Having let Qian Yun escape again, the Hidden Sand ninja were extremely frustrated and resumed searching for his presence.

Suddenly, mist drifted through the area, and the Hidden Sand ninja immediately went on guard.

Flesh Release: Great Hemorrhoid.

Qian Yun had never said that the toxins from his Great Hemorrhoid could only be spread by smoke bombs, nor had he said they had to be spread first.

It was merely a matter of how quickly they were activated.

"Not good, run!"

Someone noticed something wrong half a minute later, and the Hidden Sand ninja immediately fled for their lives.

But it was already too late.

Qian Yun's Body Flicker speed within the mist was three times faster than normal, and its range was five times greater.

In the blink of an eye, the Hidden Sand ninja were wiped out, their souls directly crushed apart.

Unfortunately, none of them dropped any special traits, so Qian Yun's strength did not increase much.

After taking their ninja tool pouches, he immediately rushed to support Kushina.

What annoyed Qian Yun was that Grandma Chiyo and Ebizō were highly skilled at concealing their presence. He had been unable to sense their location.

By then, Kushina had already lost consciousness. A clearing had appeared ahead in the forest, with trees scattered across the ground in every direction.

The Nine-Tails' chakra was still raging. Four fox tails formed from chakra had already appeared.

Suddenly, a puppet charged out of the forest, carrying a white scroll in its hand.

Qian Yun knew he could not stop the Nine-Tails, so he could only target the two old fools.

The mist drifted toward them, and Grandma Chiyo and Ebizō immediately used Body Flicker, interrupting the puppet's movements.

Qian Yun's real body also changed positions and quietly followed after them.

However, Grandma Chiyo and Ebizō closed in this time, and Qian Yun immediately threw out a smoke bomb.

"Brat, go die!"

Grandma Chiyo's voice was filled with venomous hatred. Qian Yun immediately used the Water Clone Technique to escape.

Bang! Bang!

When he used smoke bombs again, the two old fools were indeed wary.

Hidden Mist Technique!

The moment the surrounding mist began to gather, Grandma Chiyo and Ebizō immediately used a second Body Flicker to pull away.

Qian Yun smiled.

His Hidden Mist Technique had been improved and could move along with its caster.

Qian Yun advanced while the two old fools retreated, seemingly aware that there was something strange about the mist.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Before Qian Yun could catch Grandma Chiyo, the Yellow Flash had already arrived, along with Shinku Yuhi and several jonin.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Grandma Chiyo decisively left the area.

Qian Yun breathed a sigh of relief as the Hidden Mist Technique gradually dispersed.

Whoosh!

However, the instant Qian Yun relaxed, a black shadow attacked from behind, and he was knocked unconscious in an instant.

"Stop!"

Shinku Yuhi gave chase, but Scorch Release Pakura had already fled far away with consecutive Body Flickers, Qian Yun hanging from her hand.

As for Kushina—

Minato Namikaze used the suppression talisman Jiraiya had left behind, and Kushina regained consciousness shortly afterward.

When she heard that Qian Yun had not only killed a Hidden Sand squad to save her, but had also stopped Chiyo's group of two from releasing the Nine-Tails, she was deeply moved.

"Let's go save him together. He shouldn't be abandoned!"

Kushina was extremely agitated, and Minato Namikaze could not persuade her at all.

Shinku Yuhi shouted, "Calm down! Scorch Release Pakura took him away; she clearly didn't do it to kill him!

"We'll definitely save him, but we need to save the other companions first!"

Kushina lowered her head. She wanted to personally save that child with no father or mother, but Shinku Yuhi was right.

She could not abandon a group of severely injured companions, because she was a Konoha medical ninja and the captain of the medical squad.

Three hours later.

Qian Yun woke from the pain. When he opened his eyes, he saw Scorch Release Pakura sitting across from him, glaring at him as if she wanted to devour him alive.

This was a cave. Outside was a cliff, and the sound of flowing water came from below.

The surrounding soil was red. Qian Yun seemed to remember this place vaguely.

Bang!

Seeing Qian Yun examining his surroundings, Pakura kicked him, and blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Only then did he notice that his body was covered in footprints. No wonder he hurt so badly all over.

Especially in his crotch—it seemed that this bitch had viciously ground her foot into it.

Cough, cough, cough...

Qian Yun coughed up blood, and his condition was terrible.

This experience as a captive had been utterly awful.

"Detoxify me, or I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After roaring those words, Pakura kicked him several more times. Qian Yun lay sprawled on the ground, unable to move, blood constantly spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Perhaps worried that she would kick Qian Yun to death, and because the discomfort deep in her backside was growing worse, Pakura finally stopped.

Qian Yun forced himself to sit up, coughing continuously, his gaze somewhat unfocused.

Pakura raised her foot again, but after thinking it over, she lowered it.

If Qian Yun really died, she would have to return and ask Grandma Chiyo for treatment, or seek help from one of the younger Hidden Sand medical ninja.

They were all male ninja.

Her conflict with Grandma Chiyo was no secret in Hidden Sand.

And she truly could not accept letting male Hidden Sand ninja examine her private parts.

She did not want to choose either option. The best solution was to have Qian Yun treat her, then kill him.

"Water!"

Qian Yun finally spoke. Although Pakura was furious beyond measure, she had no choice but to comply.

She had just searched through Qian Yun's ninja tool pouch and used all sorts of medicines, but none had any effect.

Cough, cough, cough...

Pakura had hit him too hard. Even drinking water made Qian Yun's chest ache, while waves of numbness spread through his head and cheeks.

"Ten minutes! If you don't detoxify me within ten minutes, I'd rather kill you!"

Qian Yun nodded, felt around in his ninja tool pouch, took out several small medicine bottles, and began mixing the antidote on the spot.

So that was why. No wonder taking them separately had no effect. Pakura was frustrated to death.

After preparing the antidote, Qian Yun handed it over. Pakura raised it, intending to pour it into her mouth.

"Apply it externally!"

After Qian Yun spoke, Pakura's mouth twitched.

"Turn around!"

Pakura said this, and Qian Yun decisively turned away while treating his own injuries.

Fortunately, none of his bones were broken. His lungs had severe bruising, and there seemed to be something wrong inside his head.

It seemed this bitch had not merely beaten him up. She had most likely read his memories as well.

Qian Yun was very calm at that moment. Never before had he wanted to kill someone as badly as he did now.

"Is this enough? Why hasn't the hemorrhoid gone down?"

After applying the medicine, Pakura asked. Without turning around, Qian Yun asked, "Doesn't it itch anymore?"

"Yes!" Pakura replied succinctly.

Qian Yun continued, "The toxins are concentrated in the lump. Just cut it off and use the Mystical Palm Technique to treat it afterward, but be careful not to get the poisoned blood on your skin again!"

In other words, touching the toxins in the blood would infect her again.

Pakura was depressed. So applying medicine alone was not enough.

Forget it. That little bastard was going to die anyway, so there was no harm in letting him see.

Would a dead man go around spreading the story?

A dead man certainly would not laugh at her either.

After struggling with herself for a while, Pakura finally opened her back door.

She held a kunai in her left hand and senbon needles in her right, her chakra ready to erupt at any time.

She said nothing, and neither did Qian Yun.

He took out a scalpel, medical cotton, disinfectant, anesthetic, and more, laying them out in a row before using them in order.

Pakura gradually relaxed. In theory, Qian Yun had not lied, and he was clearly a medical ninja with professional training.
