Chapter 273 Pakura

Leader's residence of Konoha's main camp.

The ten Root's Shinobi sent by Orochimaru to the place, where Kanpū fight against Sasori, have come back, but they didn't bring back any trace of the mysterious Puppet Master.

"Another tricky character."

Orochimaru muttered and began to write a letter.

This letter is addressed to Danzō. It mainly talks about three things. The first thing is investigating the reasons for the sudden rise of Kanpū. The second thing is to track down Nagato of Land of Rain's Akatsuki. As he felt that the red-haired Uzumaki Clan's member is not simple. The third thing is to ask Danzō to continue to provoke the relationship between Amegakure and Sunagakure.

After writing all of these, Orochimaru pondered for a while, and then added about the mysterious Puppet Master, Sasori, and asked Danzō to investigate about it.

"Deliver this letter to Danzō." Orochimaru handed the envelope directly to the Root's Shinobi.

"I understand."

The Root's Shinobi took the letter and disappeared immediately.

Then, Orochimaru wrote another letter, but this time, the letter was addressed to Hiruzen. It told Hiruzen about some battles that took place on the battlefield and his next strategic plan.

However, with Hiruzen's character, there is a high probability that he would not agree.

…

This afternoon, Konoha's close combat unit once again engaged Sunagakure's Puppet Brigade.

The two sides just fought for a while, and with the help of Transparent Release, Kanpū killed three Sunagakure's Shinobis cleanly, but when he was about to continue to wreak havoc, he suddenly saw a beautiful figure!

That person has great figure, with long legs and slender waist, fair skin, delicate and pretty face, and bright eyes. Seeing her here is like meeting a city girl with red high heels in an old house alley in the countryside!

Kanpū's heartbeat missed two beats, but right after that, his heart was like a motor with kerosene added, as it began to beat wildly.

'Pakura!!'

That's right, the beautiful woman, who appeared in the Sunagakure's Puppet Brigade's side right now, is the hero of Sunagakure, Scorch Release Kekkei Genkai Shinobi: Pakura!

Pakura walked slowly on the battlefield, and the fight in front seemed to be unable to cause any interference to her. She moved her head slightly and listened to all the movements around her with her ears.

Kanpū hurriedly suppressed his heartbeat, but he was still a step too late!

Hearing Kanpū's full of hatred heartbeat, Pakura tip-toed a little and rushed towards Kanpū instantly.

Kanpū knows how terrifying Scorch Release could be, so he didn't dare to let her get close, and immediately formed hand seals and use Ninjutsu.

Suiton: Suijinheki! (Water Release: Water Formation Wall)

Kanpū completed the two hand seals in less than a second, and then spurted out a rapid stream of water from his mouth, creating a water stream more than three meters high in front of him.

"It's useless…"

With a cold tone, a few orange-red fireballs suddenly flew around Pakura, hovering gently towards the water wall, and all the water in the water wall evaporated in an instant!

Kanpū's pupils shrank when he saw this, 'It was all evaporated so quickly?'

Kanpū knows that Pakura's Scorch Release is very terrifying. If people were hit head-on, a single blow can evaporate all the water within their body, turning them into a mummy.

Even if they were only bumped and touched by her small fireball, they would still be severely scalded by the intense heat. Hoshino's right arm was grazed by her small fireball, and most of his body was scalded beyond human form. His muscles, Chakra Pathway System, and the bones of his right hand are directly withered!

However, Kanpū didn't expect that his Water Formation Wall, which contain so much water, could be evaporated by Pakura instantly, 'This person is too terrifying!'

Kanpū flickered back immediately. He wasn't sure if he could kill Pakura with a punch, but what was certain was that once he was hit by Pakura's small fireball, he would definitely die!

Therefore, even if Kanpū's close combat ability is strong, he dares not to fight Pakura in close combat!

Pakura's mission is to kill Kanpū from Konoha's close combat unit. How could she let him retreated? In the blink of an eye, Pakura directly blocked Kanpū with a few small orange-red fireballs.

At this time, their position was already in the middle of the battlefield. When Konoha's Shinobi, who was fighting with the puppet nearby, saw Pakura, their expression suddenly changed greatly.

"Pakura!"

"Why is she here!"

"Damn it!!!"

Pakura has killed many Konoha's Shinobi in the past two years, and Gekkō Clan is only a part of them. Because of that, Pakura's murderous name is like a thunder piercing the ear on Konoha's side!

Arashiyama and the others from the Gekkō Clan also saw Pakura, and the hatred in their eyes almost overflowed, but then they saw Kanpū next to Pakura, their hatred turned to shock.

"Kanpū, run!" Arashiyama shouted loudly.

Kanpū glanced at Arashiyama helplessly, 'I also wanted to run, but this Pakura didn't allow it!'

Pakura stood there quietly, with a few small orange-red fireballs slowly spinning around her, making her looked like a god.

She ignored the exclamations of the Konoha's Shinobi around her and attacked Kanpū directly. Like electric light afterimages, several small fireballs shot directly towards Kanpū's heart.

Kanpū flickered instantly and appeared thirty meters away, and at the same time, his hands formed hand seals: "Katon: Gōryūka no Jutsu!" (Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique)

The Chakra inside his body quickly gathered and condensed in his chest cavity. Seeing the small orange-red fireball approaching, Kanpū immediately opened his mouth and spouted a lava-like fire dragon.

The fire dragon roared, collided with the orange-red small fireball in mid-air, and exploded with a bang. The boundless flame and hot air wave filled the sky!

Seeing this, Kanpū is not surprised but delighted.

Scorch Release can evaporate water extremely quickly, but it cannot evaporate flames, so as long as Kanpū keeps a distance from her, he can still use other attributes of Ninjutsu against her Scorch Release.

But then, Kanpū suddenly thought of a person, 'No, that's not a person… cough, that's not right, I can't scold myself like that!'

The figure that appeared in Kanpū's mind this moment was none other than his own shadow clone: ​​​​Yuki Hyōketsu!

'Using Ice Release to suppress Pakura's Scorch Release?'

'I shouldn't be able to hold it down, after all, Pakura is Elite Jōnin Level, and I have only been training Ice Release for more than half a year, and my Chakra is not as good as other party's, but… why am I a little excited?'

Seeing Pakura quickly approached him again, Kanpū retreated while forming hand seals: Suiton: Kirigakure no Jutsu! (Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique)

The mist filled the air, and in an instant, Kanpū and Pakura were wrapped in, and then Sunagakure's Puppet Brigade and Konoha's close combat unit were also shrouded in thick mist.

Kanpū poured Chakra into this technique while also refining Chakra, and when the dense mist covered everyone, he immediately formed hand seals and used Subterranean Voyage to dive into the ground.

Then Kanpū closed his Transparent Release, lit the Ice Release, and then use Shadow Clone Technique.

My name is Yuki Hyōketsu!

Looking at the handsome and indifferent face of the shadow clone, Kanpū seemed to hear these saucy words in his ears.

After Hyōketsu appeared, he did not rush out of the ground directly, but instead separated from Kanpū and then used Subterranean Voyage to escape the combat range here.

A few minutes later, Hyōketsu emerged from the ground. And from who knows when, a ferocious ice mask had appeared on his face.

Afterwards, he used Transformation Technique to change his figure and clothes.

At the same time, Pakura has also relied on Scorch Release Ninjutsu to evaporate all the mist!

'This is the time!'

Hyōketsu waved his hands, and flakes of ice crystals spread out from his hands, fluttering in the sunlight like dandruff, and fell to the battlefield not far away.
