At the summit of Mount Kikyo,

Pakura was receiving treatment from a medical ninja, and dark green chakra orbs merged into the gruesome abdominal wound.

……

The tent was deathly silent. The medical ninjas were engrossed in their treatments, and no one spoke. The atmosphere was heavy.

for a long time,

"Jonin Pakura, for the next period of time, you cannot engage in high-intensity combat, otherwise your injuries are prone to relapse." A medical ninja withdrew his hand, wiped away his sweat, and gave him this advice.

"Hmm." Pakula hummed softly with her eyes half-closed. Although her wounds had been treated in time, the blood she had lost could not be replenished in a short period of time, so she was obviously very weak.

"Qile, how is the battle going?" she asked.

The Sand Village ninja known as Kira respectfully said, "We've reached a stalemate. Although we initially caught Konoha off guard and inflicted heavy damage, Konoha's response was equally swift. They dispatched many elite troops to try and reclaim Kikyo Mountain. The most troublesome among them are the Uchiha and the Anbu."

After speaking, he looked up and saw Pakura, whom he had never seen before. In his memory, Pakura was always that high-ranking Jonin, but now...

The jonin's cheeks were flushed, and her face was very pale. The combination of flush and paleness gave her a touch of femininity. Yes, the injured Pakula had a touch of femininity, which was strangely attractive.

Pakura, a Jonin... can be in such a state? Who on earth caused all this?

He swallowed hard, his gaze involuntarily falling on those soft breasts, thinking to himself, "If only I could..."

"Hmm?" Pakula saw his strange expression, made a nasal sound, and her voice turned cold. "What are you thinking?"

Hearing that cold tone, Qi Le shivered. "No, I wasn't thinking anything."

Pakura gave him a cold glance but didn't pursue the matter. She knew that her current appearance could easily arouse the suspicions of other ninjas.

In the ninja world, the weak and women are bullied, and in some remote villages, women are merely playthings for men.

Men are naturally much stronger than women, so most powerful ninjas are male, and women are very rare.

Under these conditions, Pakula developed a domineering personality, which became her protective shield.

After a moment, Pakula withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Remember who you are."

"Yes," Qi Le replied nervously.

"..."

Looking at her trembling subordinate, Pakula couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow. Besides having to guard against enemy ninjas, she also had to guard against ninjas from her own country.

Suddenly, as if she sensed something, she looked outside the tent. The bright moon hung in the sky, and silvery starlight spilled down. Outside, the lonely chirping of insects sounded like a disordered symphony.

She slowly narrowed her eyes. "Go and take a look, but be careful."

Qi Le was taken aback, somewhat confused. He thought Paku was being paranoid. This was the stronghold of the Sand Village. Could there be an assassin here?

However, he still obediently got up and walked around outside.

"We found nothing."

Pakula frowned. Nothing? She remained skeptical, trusting her intuition more than the eyes of others.

She took a scroll from her bosom and quietly hid it in her sleeve.

After a while, when there was no sound outside, she called out again.

"Qile".

No one responded.

Pakula sighed softly, "Something must have happened. Since we're already here, why hide?"

After a while, just as she expected, the tent was pulled open and a figure walked in.

She stared at the man for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "Have the Konoha Anbu become so arrogant now that they dare to infiltrate the enemy's headquarters directly?"

Uchiha Sora didn't speak, his Sharingan coldly staring at her as if she were a dead person.

Under his gaze, Pakula's smile slowly faded.

"Where's Qile?"

"If you're just a ninja who came out of the tent, then he's already dead."

Pakula nodded slightly. "As expected. Although he sometimes gives me disgusting looks, he is a rare subordinate."

"You can't even take care of yourself, why would you care about him? To you, that guy is nothing more than a dog."

"..." Pakula remained silent. "You're right, to me he's just an obedient dog."

So, what is your purpose?

"I'll kill you." Uchiha Sora coldly uttered two words.

"Kill me?" Pakula smiled slyly. "I can sense that your strength is only that of a Chunin. Logically speaking, the higher-ups of the Anbu wouldn't assign you a mission to assassinate a Jonin."

As she spoke, she began to analyze the situation on her own.

"If it's not a mission, killing someone boils down to two things: stealing money or revenge."

In these extraordinary times, the possibility of theft is extremely small and can be basically ruled out.

So... it's revenge, huh? I've killed too many people. I wonder if I killed your relatives and friends, or your close friends?

Hmm... Since you dared to assassinate me, it means you knew I was seriously injured, and only those few children who were present at the time knew I was injured. Revenge? Well, someone has to die for it to count as revenge, which means...

"You're seeking revenge for that fallen ANBU member."

With just a few words of analysis, Pakura figured out why Uchiha Ku had tried to assassinate her. It has to be said, she was a smart woman.

Such a clever woman, yet in the original story, was ultimately betrayed by the village; it can only be said that fate is cruel.

"Hmm, no answer, so that means you agree?"

"Haha, seeking revenge for your comrades? I remember your Konoha Anbu were the most ruthless executioners, weren't they? Interesting, very interesting."

Uchiha Sora remained silent, his hand gripping the Kusanagi sword until it turned white.

People are always selfish. In the past, when he killed others, he never cared what the relatives and friends of the people he killed would think, because he didn't care. But when he died in the wind of Uzuki, he realized how painful that feeling was.

Of course, he didn't regret killing people, because in this world, if he didn't kill, people would kill him.

He was just wondering if he could have saved Kazunari Uzuki if he had been a little faster back then.

"These are your last words?" Uchiha asked calmly from the air, his eyes filled with barely concealed killing intent.

Pakula's laughter abruptly stopped, and his face slowly darkened. "Last words? Don't you know that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse? Even if I'm injured, you can't kill me."

"Whether you can kill him or not, you'll find out soon enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Sora lunged at Pakula.

The latter remained calm under pressure, and flicked out the scroll that he had hidden in his sleeve.

In an instant, countless shuriken, kunai, and senbon burst forth like a torrential rain of pear blossoms.

Uchiha Sora narrowed his eyes, holding the tiger seal in his hand.

"Great Fireball Technique".

Amid the explosion, two figures fought and roared amidst the flames.
