Pakura, who had escaped the ambush by the Mist Village Ninja, encountered four Sand Ninja in the forest.
The leading Sand Ninja extended his hand towards Pakura, saying he would take her out of the Land of Water.
However, Pakura took a step back, vigilantly looking at the four people in front of her: "Those Mist Village Ninja said I was a sacrifice, and the Village wanted to use my life to achieve reconciliation with the Hidden Mist Village. Is this true?"
The Sand Ninja shook his head and said, "Pakura, how can you believe what those Mist Village Ninja say? They must be lying to you. You are an elite Ninja of our Hidden Sand Village, how could we use you as a sacrifice? We are comrades, hurry up and go, those Mist Village Ninja are chasing you."
Pakura did not believe him and remained very vigilant: "You four... you seem to be the Kazekage's guard Ninja, right? Tell me our current location, and I will leave on my own. I don't need you to take me away."
The leading Sand Ninja sighed: "Those idiots from the Hidden Mist Village, they didn't kill her, but they talked too much and spilled everything. Since you don't want a quick death, then don't blame us. In fact, we are also very unwilling to lay hands on comrades from the same Village.
Kazekage-sama urgently needs to reconcile with the Hidden Mist Village. This decision was made after discussion by all high-ranking officials of the Village. So, all of this is for the Village. For the Village, you should die here."
Pakura's last shred of hope was completely shattered, and her heart gradually filled with immense hatred for the Hidden Sand Village.
"Scorch Style: Over Steam Kill!"
Four fireballs floated around Pakura. Pakura glared murderously at the four Sand Ninja in front of her: "I'm going to kill you all!"
"Heh, what you're doing now is rogue Ninja behavior, and, Pakura of the Blaze Release, do you think we would come unprepared?"
Three Sand Ninja charged towards Pakura simultaneously.
Pakura threw the four fireballs behind her at the four opponents at the same time.
The Sand Ninja who remained in place unrolled a scroll covered in incantations.
"Sealing Fire Suppression Technique!"
A surge of Chakra wrapped around the four fireballs Pakura had thrown, sealing them within the scroll. The character for "seal" appeared in the center of the scroll.
The three Sand Ninja had already reached Pakura. Pakura used Scorch Style again, condensing several fireballs.
But the Sand Ninja who remained in place took out a new scroll again and used the Sealing Fire Suppression Technique to seal Pakura's fireballs.
Now, with her left shoulder injured, Pakura could only hold a Kunai with one hand and fight the three Sand Ninja.
Pakura found it extremely difficult. Every time she used Scorch Style, that Sand Ninja would immediately seal her flames, and now the pain in her body was making her movements sluggish.
What was more serious was that Pakura's left arm was almost immobile, which meant that performing hand signs was very difficult, and successfully casting Ninjutsu was hard.
These three Sand Ninja were clearly Jonin level, using Wind Release: Wind Blade, with Chakra emanating from their fingertips like sharp blades, fighting Pakura.
If she could use Scorch Style, Pakura was confident that even if she couldn't win, escaping would be no problem.
But unfortunately, she couldn't use Scorch Style now, couldn't use Ninjutsu, and her Taijutsu was also weakened to its limit due to the pain in her body.
Because her movements were too wide, the pain from the wound in her left arm caused Pakura's movements to pause, and the opportunity was immediately seized.
Pakura was kicked in the abdomen, and her entire body flew backward, crashing heavily into a tree trunk.
Pakura almost couldn't catch her breath and was unable to move for a moment.
The three Sand Ninja charged towards Pakura, their Wind Blades ready to stab her.
Pakura looked at the scene before her in despair, wondering if she still couldn't escape the outcome of death?
Suddenly, a huge Sand Iron spear fell from the sky, directly piercing one of the three Sand Ninja, pinning him to the ground.
At this critical moment, Kannazuki finally arrived, staring fixedly at the few Sand Ninja with bloodshot eyes.
The Sand Ninja frowned and looked up, discovering Kannazuki, as well as Kannazuki, who was missing an arm.
The Sand Iron spear from just now was created by Kannazuki using Kannazuki's arm.
Pakura also looked up with difficulty, her eyes filled with disbelief.
How did Kannazuki get here?
Seeing Pakura covered in injuries, Kannazuki immediately flew into a rage, manipulating Kannazuki to transform into a pile of Sand Iron: "I haven't even bullied her like this, how dare you bully her?!"
"Magnet Release! Sand Iron Cylinder!"
The Sand Iron transformed into a giant cylinder, violently crashing into the three Sand Ninja in front of Pakura.
Except for the Sand Ninja who had already been pierced by the Sand Iron spear, the other two Sand Ninja retreated to the side of the Sand Ninja who had remained in place.
The Sand Ninja who was pierced by the Sand Iron spear was directly smashed into a pulp.
Kannazuki controlled the Sand Iron to transform back into Kannazuki and began firing small missiles, bombarding the three surviving Sand Ninja wildly.
Kannazuki took a moment to turn his head and asked worriedly: "Hey, Pakura, are you okay?"
Pakura coughed, spitting out a mouthful of blood: "I'm, I'm okay, I'm not dead yet."
A vein popped out on Kannazuki's forehead. He turned his head back to look at the three Sand Ninja fleeing in all directions and said angrily: "Bear with it! I'll get revenge for you, just wait!"
Pakura stared blankly at Kannazuki's back, somewhat lost in thought.
Suddenly, she felt... Kannazuki was a bit handsome, what was going on?
Pakura's cheeks flushed slightly. After regaining her senses, she shook her head vigorously. The shaking motion pulled at her wound again, making Pakura gasp.
Hearing Pakura's gasp, Kannazuki immediately came to Pakura's side and said worriedly: "Pakura, are you really okay? Don't push yourself. I only have military rations here, eat them first to recover some Chakra."
Kannazuki directly grabbed a handful of military rations from his Ninja tool pouch and stuffed them into Pakura's mouth.
Caught off guard, Pakura's mouth was directly stuffed full of military rations: "Ugh..."
Who eats military rations like that?!
Pakura saw the three Sand Ninja charging over. Unable to speak because her mouth was full of military rations, she quickly pointed behind Kannazuki.
Kannazuki turned his head to look and saw the Sand Ninja charging towards the two of them. He grinned sinisterly: "I was afraid you would run away!"
"Magnet Release! Sand Iron Wave..."
Kannazuki, who was about to cast Ninjutsu, suddenly twitched and fell straight to the ground.
Pakura quickly spit out the military rations from her mouth, enduring the pain to reach out and support Kannazuki's head: "Kannazuki, what's wrong?!"
Cold sweat beaded on Kannazuki's forehead: "No, no Chakra left..."
Kannazuki had been constantly squeezing out the Chakra in his body to travel, using whatever Chakra he had to keep moving. He didn't have much Chakra to begin with, and now he was completely out of commission.
"Eh?!"
Pakura's expression became incredibly frightened. No, was this Kannazuki guy here to deliver a kill?
