Chapter 16 Scorch Release

Sand Battlefield.

Swoosh!!

The movements of Pakura and Kazuki on the sand didn't seemed to be affected much as despite being blown back, they immediately rushed at each other again.

Appearing before each other Pakura took the initiative to attack, smashing the kunai in her hands towards him though Kazuki without any problem ducking to avoid the kunai and at the same time cutting towards her stomach with the Kusanagi.

But sensing the danger Pakura moved the chakra in her body towards her soles, with a boom shooting towards the sky and dodging the blade.

Scorch Release: Fire Barrage!!

In the air Pakura utilized her kekkai genkai as around her quickly ten fireballs condensed and were shot down at Kazuki immediately.

Suiton: Mizu Shuriken no Jutsu (Water Shuriken Technique)

At the approaching fire balls Kazuki remained calm and his hands turned into afterimages, in an instant completing the hand signs as next he opened his mouth and water gushed out condensing into numerous big shurikens floating around him.

Swoosh!!

BOOM!!!

With a flick of his fingers, all the shurikens spun towards the approaching fire balls and at the moment of contact explosions setting off.

"Did I encounter my nemesis?"

Landing back on the surface Pakura looked at the steamy sky as with a worried look she couldn't help but mutter.

Her opponent seemed pretty good in water style which was a major weakness of her kekkai genkai.

Wind Release: Wind Blast!

Just when Pakura was worried due to the opponent's water style, she felt her hair rustle and her eyes widened.

She watched as the sand before her was blown by some invisible force but it was too quick for her to dodge, only able to cross her arms before as massive pressure seemed to act on her out of nowhere.

BOOM!!!!

Pakura was blown back couple of steps before finally able to drill her feet in the sand to stabilize herself, the arms crossed before her drenched in blood numerous cut wounds having appeared.

"Even Wind Style…. when did Konoha had such a monster!!?"

Feeling the pain from her arms Pakura couldn't help ask in disbelief, after water and lightning the opponent was even able to use wind style.

She was truly caught by surprise and the result of it was her arms left in this condition.

Blood was rinsing from the numerous wounds on them continuously and the strength in them was draining as well.

ROAR!!!!!!

But Pakura didn't get much time to think over her next move, a roar shaking her soul as in her unbelievable eyes a water dragon around ten meters long and 2 meters wide was rushing towards her.

Water Style! Water Dragon Jutsu!!

"Water Style of this level without any water source…Am I fighting Mizukage!!?"

Pakura felt the world around her was fake as she was just fighting a konoha shinobi even younger than her, a kid.

But his mastery of Water Style was unbelievable as in her knowledge probably only the Mizukage would be able to perform water style of this level without any water source nearby.

"No…I can't give up like this…. there's no way I'll die nameless….

But the will to be a great shinobi one day made Pakura unable to give up, all the remaining chakra in her body boiling out of her.

Around her numerous fireballs condensed as Pakura raised her blood drenched arms and all the fireballs gathered together, a massive fireball above her head.

Scorch Release: Great Steaming Explosive Blast!!!!

Yelled Pakura with all her might as she blasted it towards the water dragon.

ROAR!!!!

BOOM!!!

The water dragon roared as it opened its mouth and swallowed the huge fire ball before it, an orange light flashing on the battlefield covered with dark clouds.

"Who's Fighting ?"

"This is an Elite Battle!!"

The light and the massive heat generated from the explosion point took the attention of other shinobi fighting in the battlefield as well, all of them clueless about who were fighting.

A battle of this level was already close to the level of commanders but they were all fighting separately, cause just the aftermath of their battle can kill allies and enemies so they battle separately.

But now a battle of that level was taking place within them but no one knowing who were fighting.

After a while, the explosion completely died down and all left was steam covering the explosion area so the shinobi not able to see much.

Thud!

In the steam Pakura fell on her knees gasping for breath, her blood drenched arms limp from weakness and her face showing absolute exhaustion.

Zzzzz!!!

"I lost…

But in the steam Pakura saw blue lightning flashing, a helpless look appearing on her face as she muttered and closed her eyes.

A silver haired figure with lightning dancing around him appeared before Pakura, the Kusanagi blade slashed towards her neck, a calm look on the face of the silver haired shinobi.

Keng!

Swish!

But just when it was about to pierce her neck golden sand rose up as the Kusanagi collided with it but unable to completely cut through it, Kazuki frowning and jumping back.
