Boom!!!
With a loud explosion, Pakura and Tumi, whom she held in her arms, were blasted away. The sudden explosion left the captain and the other team member stunned.
They had not expected the destroyed puppet to explode.
Caught in the blast at close range, Pakura was sent flying a considerable distance before crashing heavily to the ground. Her head buzzed so badly that she did not even know what had happened.
Two black shadows rushed up in front of her.
Struck heavily on the back of the head, Pakura's vision went dark. She spat out a mouthful of blood, then collapsed limply to the ground and lost consciousness.
The target was secured, and the mission was complete. One of the puppets picked up Pakura and retreated swiftly.
The remaining puppets also stopped attacking and retreated into the forest one after another, chasing after their master.
The enemy had not wiped them out?
Watching the orderly retreating puppets quickly vanish from sight, the captain stood there in a daze with his weapon in hand before finally coming back to his senses.
"Damn it, they kidnapped Pakura!!"
Their target had never been his squad. It was Pakura!
They had lost one puppet but captured Pakura. It was a very worthwhile trade, with the sealing scroll being their greatest expense besides that.
After all, those things were expensive.
He had only wanted to quietly watch the show and take over Tsunade's post while letting that silly girl return to the village for a proper rest. He had not expected an unexpected gain as well.
However, catching her was easy. Keeping her was the real problem.
Brainwashing was practically useless against a shinobi like Pakura. Making her willingly stay would take some effort. At the very least, Sunagakure would need to cooperate.
