Seeing the Scorch Release: Fireball flying towards her, Second Body immediately held a Flying Thunder God Kunai level with her chest in one hand, while forming a hand seal with the other to activate the Flying Thunder God Barrier.
Soon, a black rune-composed spiderweb appeared in front of Second Body, ensnaring the incoming Scorch Release: Fireball.
The center of the Flying Thunder God Barrier visibly caved in, slowly swallowing the Scorch Release: Fireball, and then, a thousand meters away, at the location where Second Body had thrown her Flying Thunder God Kunai, a burst of fire erupted in an instant.
Without even looking, it was clear that the forest there had turned to charcoal. Having mastered the Flying Thunder God Barrier, Second Body finally no longer needed to directly counter with Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
Using the Flying Thunder God Barrier was both mysterious and cool, second only to using the Wood Release: Wood Human Technique to swat a Tailed Beast Ball back.
Pakura was somewhat dumbfounded, completely unable to understand this maneuver, but she vaguely knew it was a space-time Ninjutsu.
Having refined the Flying Thunder God Technique, Second Body intended to begin the synthesis of Scorch Release Chakra. Scorch Release was the fusion of Fire Release and Wind Release Chakra, though Fire Release should make up the larger proportion.
Pakura could not refuse to answer Second Body's questions about the proportion of Scorch Release Chakra, and handing over the Scorch Release training scrolls was also a condition for her redemption, so she naturally held nothing back.
After determining the approximate proportions for Scorch Release, Second Body began to condense a ball of Fire Release Chakra in her left hand and Wind Release Chakra in her right hand, then pressed them together to mix them according to the ratio.
Her mind entered a state of extreme emptiness, fully comprehending the intense conflict and fusion within this mixed Chakra, needing to grasp that fleeting sensation when the two merged.
To amplify her perception, Second Body actively entered Sage Mode, relying on the Sage's perception to sense the fluctuations of Scorch Release Chakra synthesis. Before long, Second Body vaguely perceived a scorching stream of heat.
Grasping this sensation and actively participating in it, it wasn't long before Second Body could slowly reduce the conflict between Fire Release and Wind Release, strengthening their fusion.
The color of the crimson and emerald mixed Chakra ball between her palms also began to slowly change, quickly turning orange-red, and further developing towards orange-yellow.
"How is that possible! She grasped the fluctuations of Scorch Release so quickly and then began to accelerate the synthesis?"
Pakura could hardly believe it; the Scorch Release she had spent years researching was now being grasped by Uchiha Ling in mere minutes.
"Is this Scorch Release Chakra? Its power is indeed much greater than Fire Release. The temperature is high, and the controllability is strong."
Second Body opened her eyes, continuing to maintain Sage Mode to deepen her synthesis of Scorch Release Chakra, recalling Pakura's Vapor Release: Unrivaled Strength hand seal sequence and Chakra flow.
All of this had been observed and memorized with her Sharingan before. Now, it was perfectly suited for Second Body to use Scorch Release Ninjutsu. After thinking about it, it seemed Pakura had only developed Vapor Release: Unrivaled Strength as a Scorch Release Ninjutsu.
"Scorch Release: Vapor Release: Unrivaled Strength!" Second Body did not control the Scorch Release Chakra to circulate within her body but instead relied on extreme Chakra shape transformation and control to forcibly use Vapor Release: Unrivaled Strength.
A human-head sized fireball was controlled by Second Body to float away, faster than Fire Release but slower than Wind Release, then Second Body controlled it to begin to explode.
The Scorch Release Chakra spread out, directly scorching the trees within a ten-meter radius into charcoal. Scorch Release sacrificed the explosive power of Fire Release and the sharpness of Wind Release, enhancing temperature and controllability.
Having reached this point, only two more steps remained to possess the Scorch Release Bloodline Limit.
However, Scorch Release was relatively dangerous; gradually transitioning from external synthesis to internal synthesis was a difficult process, second only to synthesizing Scorch Release Chakra itself.
With Second Body's Chakra control, there wouldn't be any danger, but she couldn't be disturbed. Then came the final step: using a large amount of synthesized Scorch Release to promote the evolution of her body's genes.
Unfortunately, this was wartime, not suitable for practicing Scorch Release. Her Second Body, busy researching various miscellaneous Ninjutsu, Forbidden Techniques, and Tailed Beast Chakra, no longer had the energy to complete the Bloodline Limit transformation.
Just then, Second Body's Sage Mode's Sage perception, which she had not yet exited, detected several Jonin-level Chakra signatures heading towards them from over thirty kilometers away.
Among them, there was an incredibly vast Chakra source leading them. This immense Chakra was far greater than her own; it was definitely a Jinchuriki.
She called Shisui and Kakashi over. Seeing Second Body's rather solemn expression, they also realized what was happening.
"A Jinchuriki is coming with several Jonin. Pakura and I will go intercept them. You all focus on protecting the others. If the situation becomes critical, Shisui, you can use that."
Second Body's words instantly changed their expressions. Although they knew Second Body was very strong, they couldn't help but feel a bit worried.
"Don't worry, we might even capture a Jinchuriki this time. Just make sure your camp isn't ambushed by others."
Second Body smiled, wondering which bastard had leaked their travel route. Logically, she hadn't been following a fixed path.
Watching Kakashi and Shisui get the camp into a state of alert, Second Body and Pakura rode Little Black and Little White away from the area, heading to meet these uninvited guests.
Twenty kilometers away, a group of five people hurried along, unaware that they had been discovered.
At this moment, a strange Ninja wearing full red armor, a red straw hat, and a large hump on his back, spoke to a robust Ninja.
"Kitsuchi, I feel something isn't right. I have a faint sense of danger, and even the Five-Tails says so."
Kitsuchi knew a bit about Han's beastly intuition; this seemed to be the Five-Tails' instinct. He was somewhat puzzled as to what danger there could be.
"Han, no matter what, the plan to kill Uchiha Ling must be completed. She absolutely cannot be allowed to reach the front lines."
Kitsuchi was somewhat perplexed as to why his old man was so wary of a young girl, but he was accustomed to obeying.
"Is this Uchiha Ling really that much of a threat? They don't even need me at the front lines."
Han, while using Steam Release to accelerate towards the documented location, wondered why Sunagakure had been defeated by Uchiha Ling.
"Do not be careless. The Sunagakure Jinchuriki Bunpuku and Pakura, as well as Rasa, were all defeated and captured by her. Even if we cannot kill Uchiha Ling on this mission, we must at least test her strength."
Kitsuchi knew more about Uchiha Ling's intelligence, so he was also somewhat worried. Could they, two Kage-level and three Jonin, really win by ambushing Uchiha Ling?
"If we can't win, with my speed, I can also take you all and escape, right? That's why I was sent instead of Roshi."
"Not just that. It is said that Uchiha Ling's Water Release is extremely powerful, so Roshi's Lava Release might not be a match. Your Taijutsu is strong, and against the young Uchiha Ling, who is not skilled in Taijutsu, you will definitely have a great advantage."
Kitsuchi had no idea he was being misled by Rasa's intelligence, actually believing Uchiha Ling was just a Ninjutsu-type Ninja and intending to kill Uchiha Ling with Taijutsu.
