Pakura

Sora, who was joyfully flying in the sky, suddenly encountered a scene he disliked: a woman dying and being attacked by several masked individuals.

Swiftly, Sora darted towards the masked criminals, but his excessive enthusiasm caused him to forget to use brakes, leading to him falling and crushing everything beneath him.

*BOOOMMMMM

Failing in his epic appearance, Sora then looked around and managed to find the terrified woman.

'Ahhhh, I forgot, it's understandable she's so scared. After all, it's not normal for people not to fear dragons, right?'

Initially puzzled by the expression of the woman, Sora finally realized and began to transform back into his human form.

 ----

Pakura, who thought she was safe, fell back into despair upon seeing the figure that saved her.

A scaly and winged giant with sharp fangs and claws, and eyes as red as a snake's, instilling terror in anyone who looked at them.

Even for Pakura, it was a miracle she didn't wet her pants when faced with those terrifying eyes.

However, in an instant, the monster transformed into a human figure, a man around 180 cm tall, with long brown hair that occasionally turned sky blue before reverting to brown.

With a remarkably handsome face, Pakura was mesmerized by the figure before her.

However, Pakura soon realized that the handsome man in front of her was the monster who had just slaughtered the elite Anbu from the Mist Village.

As Pakura tried to find a way to escape, the man spoke, "Obey! Or die!"

With only two options, Pakura lost all chances of escape.

Under the threat of death or obedience, Pakura began to consider her choices.

It was true that she was a kunoichi loyal to her village, but after all the struggle and blood she had shed, the village's response was betrayal.

She was treated as a pawn and a sacrificial lamb in the Sand Village Kazekage's power-strengthening efforts.

Pakura regretted giving her best efforts to the village and the corrupt officials who easily sacrificed her.

She then looked at the man or monster who had saved her, feeling nothing but disgust towards her village.

Pakura then looked at the man or monster who had saved her, she could still feel the terror from those eyes and after struggling as hard as she could, Pakura finally decided.

'At least I don't have to obey weaklings like Rasa and the village elders anymore.'

Pakura then with all her might tried to prostrate and chose to obey the person who had saved her.

On the other hand, Sora, seeing the woman clearly, remembered one episode from his favorite film, one of her doctors.

"Hey, isn't this Pakura from the Naruto series? This woman is very special because she's the only user of the scorch element and also one of the strongest kunoichi in the series."

Because of Pakura's unique character, Sora was able to remember her clearly.

Realizing that Pakura, who should have been dead, was now dying, Sora guessed that he had been reincarnated into the Naruto world or something similar.

And if he was indeed in the Naruto world, it meant he was in a time far before the main Naruto storyline began.

With this opportunity, Sora began to devise a strategy to live in this world. As a first step, the idea of recruiting Pakura emerged in his mind.

Sora, who had been a hospitalized patient all his life, now had to start talking to people directly.

The first words he uttered to her interlocutor were, "Obey! Or die!"

'Arghhhhhhh stupid, idiot, idiot, why did I talk like that? And now Pakura looks angry, with irregular breathing, a very fast heartbeat, arghhhhh! The chance to get a first friend is wasted in vain!'

Without realizing the internal conflict in Pakura's mind, Sora continued to grumble and comment on his foolish words, which could offend others and even cause him to lose the chance to gain a companion.

However, Sora never imagined that, as he was busy arguing in his mind, Pakura, who had been silent for some time, suddenly prostrated herself and spoke.

"I surrender and am willing to follow you."

At the same time, a notification from the system surprised Sora.

[Congratulations! You have conquered 'Pakura of the Sand'.]

[Congratulations! You have unlocked the follower enhancement menu!]

[Congratulations! You have received 50,000 chaotic tokens for conquering one of the strongest kunoichi from the five major villages.]

[Congratulations! You have received 300,000 chaotic tokens for successfully recruiting one of the most important individuals from one of the five major villages.]

'Eh?.... ehhhhhhhh! Why? How is that possible? How could I get such a reward?'

Sora, stunned with surprise, suddenly realized Pakura's critical condition.

Using the arc of embodiment, Sora created a healing potion, but due to his carelessness, the potion he created would become a legendary potion or a myth in the future.

Quickly, Sora poured the potion onto Pakura, and Pakura herself, the victim, felt something happening to her body.

Before she could comment, her wounds began to close rapidly, and her lost chakra began to recover.

Even some unnoticed changes occurred, such as her bones evolving to become extremely hard, emitting a metallic sheen when looked at directly.

Not only physically, but Pakura's soul also began to evolve slowly, not only enhancing the quality and quantity of her chakra and strength but also extending Pakura's lifespan beyond that of a normal human.

Realizing that the man before her had healed all her wounds, Pakura prostrated herself once again, this time thanking him and vowing to always remain loyal to him.

"I am Pakura, and this time, I swear to dedicate my life and death to you!"

Once again, Sora felt confused by what was happening and drifted back into his thoughts.

'Maybe all these ninjas are weird like this? Well, whatever, at least Pakura is cool!'

Then, with a gesture, Sora asked Pakura to rise and follow him.

He created a portal connected directly to the main hall of Laputa with the arc of embodiment.

As Sora entered the portal, Pakura immediately followed, leaving their previous location behind.
