Naruto: Scourge of the Ninja World

"Since that's the case, I'll be the referee. This match will focus mainly on sparring."

"Keep it under control."

Those four words were spoken by Gekko Chizan to Pakura. After all, her identity was quite special, so she needed to watch her limits.

"Hmph, I don't need you to tell me that."

"They're just two kids, after all."

Pakura was very displeased with Gekko Chizan's attitude and snorted coldly.

Uchiha Obito and Might Guy stretched their bodies, then both shouted in unison:

"We're going in!"

The two charged at Pakura, one following the other.

Bare fists... Are they going to rely on Taijutsu?

Pakura immediately noticed their movements.

Pure Taijutsu didn't interest her much—what she really wanted to see was the Uchiha clan's talent.

But when they reached her, she realized she had underestimated them.

"Konoha Whirlwind!"

Might Guy launched the first attack, leaping up and delivering a fierce whip kick straight at Pakura's face.

At the same time, Uchiha Obito swung his fist toward Pakura's midsection.

One strike high, the other low—their coordination was impeccable.

Pakura felt the gust stirred up by their attacks and was slightly surprised.

"Taijutsu specialists, huh..."

As an elite jōnin, even though her current strength was diminished, she was still not someone two genin could easily contend with.

Pakura's right hand suddenly grabbed Might Guy's attacking right leg and slammed it downward with force.

Under the impact, Guy immediately lost his balance—especially since his right leg was trapped in Pakura's grasp.

"Obito! Dodge!"

But Guy didn't give up resisting and shouted for Obito to retreat.

He quickly kicked out his other leg, trying to break free from Pakura's hold.

Pakura's lips curled slightly into a smile—nice kid.

Yet her hand movements didn't slow, continuing to press Guy down onto the ground.

"Boom!"

A loud crash sounded as Guy made intimate contact with the ground.

"Impossible!"

"Take this!"

Ignoring the pain in his body, Guy flipped back up and struck with an elbow again.

Obito, who had just dodged, returned in front of Pakura, throwing another punch at her.

This time, Pakura didn't choose to block head-on but instead jumped backward to avoid both attacks.

Landing lightly, she smiled faintly.

"Good taijutsu, but still not enough to win."

Guy ignored Pakura's teasing and launched another fierce attack.

"Guy! Watch out!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

After his initial taijutsu assault, Uchiha Obito immediately formed hand seals.

Then, a fireball about one meter in diameter suddenly burst forth.

"Oh? Fire Release, huh? Not bad."

"But still not quite enough."

Guy, who was attacking Pakura, leapt high in the air at once.

Pakura was now directly exposed to Obito's Great Fireball Technique.

But she remained calm and quickly formed hand seals.

The same Fire Release, but completely different in execution.

Four glowing points suddenly appeared around Pakura, quickly transforming into flames.

Under Pakura's control, the four fireballs collided one after another with the Great Fireball Technique.

Seeing this, Gekko Chizan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Thinking to himself: Isn't this just a low-tier version of Scorch Release?

Pakura's kekkei genkai was Scorch Release, a combination of fire and wind elements.

Her signature ninjutsu was called Scorch Style: Super Steam Kill.

When used, small fireball-like shapes appear around the user; in close combat, if they touch the opponent's body, they evaporate the moisture inside, turning the opponent into a dried corpse.

This was very similar to the Fire Release technique Pakura was using now.

After two successive flames collided with the Great Fireball, Obito's attack vanished.

"Tch, the same Fire Release?"

"What power..."

Obito wiped sweat from his face. His Fire Release was blocked, and he felt tremendous pressure.

With Obito's Great Fireball neutralized, the remaining two fireballs flew straight at Might Guy.

The intense heat forced Guy to retreat, and for a moment, the two youths stood side by side again.

But they had completely lost their initial composure and looked thoroughly shocked.

"So this is a jōnin..."

"Why do I feel she's even stronger than Chizan-sensei?"

Gekko Chizan at the sidelines was instantly embarrassed.

But he didn't argue—when it came to destructive power, Pakura was definitely stronger.

"Are you coming back for more, kids?"

Pakura, who had stretched a little, felt comfortable all over.

Unconsciously, even her tone had become much more relaxed.

"Alright, stop fighting. Pakura-sensei barely used any strength, otherwise, you two would've been down already."

"Obito, Guy, you've improved."

"But it's still not enough—you need to keep working hard."

Gekko Chizan stepped forward to end the duel—there was no point continuing.

Pakura's combat experience was too rich. Even with limited chakra, she was no match for two genin.

"Hmph, Chizan, you're really annoying."

"I was just starting to feel it."

Before Obito could say anything, Pakura's dissatisfied voice sounded. Looking toward her, the beautiful woman's face was full of displeasure.

"Haha, just moderate."

"Don't forget, your current status still requires you to be careful."

Gekko Chizan didn't dare let Pakura have too much fun—after all, her identity was still very special.

Pakura thought to herself that she was still a captive, and helplessly curled her lips.

"Alright, everyone disperse."

"Stop crowding. Isn't class starting soon?"

Gekko Chizan dispersed the onlookers and then led Pakura out of the ninja school.

"How is it? Isn't Konohagakure's ninja academy better than your Sunagakure's?"

Pakura sneered disdainfully.

"Far from it. Just a bunch of kids."

Gekko Chizan said nothing in response to Pakura's words, only smiled faintly.

Then the two continued wandering around the village.

From the bustling commercial streets to the residential areas.

Gekko Chizan often strolled through the village, so he was quite well-liked.

Pakura watched as Gekko Chizan repeatedly greeted familiar faces, feeling somewhat surprised.

Thinking: Is this person really that popular?

"What? Scared by my connections?"

"People, when alive, should make friends. Especially for young people like us, we should make many friends."

"More friends, more paths."

Pakura listened to Gekko Chizan's words and fell into thought.

She had always been alone... Even when on missions with teammates, she still felt very lonely.

Friends...

That sounded nice...

"Where are the Uchiha and Hyuga clans? Can you take me to see them?"
