Chapter 62: Pakura: I Have No Desire to Become the Kage of This Trash Village!
"Earth Release: House Vanishing Technique!"
Pakura gazed at the scene before her, and a playful little smile suddenly bloomed across her face.
This power was simply too enchanting.
With just a gentle stomp of her foot—
—all the houses in Sunagakure vanished without a trace.
Such horrifying strength… in the past, she wouldn't even have dared to imagine it.
Who could've thought
that after following the Holy Master, she would become this strong in a single leap!
"As long as I stand upon the earth, I am a god."
In that instant, the realization hit Pakura with perfect clarity.
"I can unleash overwhelmingly terrifying Earth Release techniques without draining much chakra at all.
And on top of that…
I can freely control any soil or sand touching the ground."
"Swish swish swish!"
Watching the shinobi who charged toward her without fear of death, determined to defend their village—
—a faint trace of pity appeared in Pakura's eyes.
"Poor things…
I really wonder what there is in this village that's worth protecting."
She watched coldly as they rushed toward her.
The moment they got close, her will simply moved—
—the sand surged upward, forming a gigantic palm that smashed down on them!
"BOOM!"
With the fall of that enormous hand, every shinobi who had charged at Pakura disappeared in an instant.
"Pathetic."
Pakura delivered the cold verdict.
Then she continued forward, riding the sand dragon beneath her feet.
...
"Just where the hell did this person come from?!"
Obito felt his brow twitching nonstop.
He really couldn't wrap his head around it.
Things had started so smoothly—then suddenly, halfway through, all these top-tier monsters started showing up.
What in the world was happening?!
"Her strength is terrifying.
She wiped out an entire Kage-level village in one moment!
This is simply unbelievable."
"Yeah…"
Black Zetsu was starting to feel real panic.
If these Black-Robed Organization people ever decided to interfere with their plan…
Then their plan would never succeed. Ever.
"Even if we collect all nine tailed beasts…
Even if we revive Madara and make him the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki…
We'd probably still never get Infinite Tsukuyomi off the ground…
These Black-Robed Organization people are just too monstrous!
If they all came at us together…
Madara probably couldn't even hold out…
And then there's their mysterious leader who's never shown his face even once.
If his subordinates are already this strong…
How terrifying must the boss be?
Sigh…
Mother…
This is way too hard…"
...
While Black Zetsu was gloomily lamenting—
—new developments appeared on Pakura's side.
Three white puppets suddenly rose from the desert.
They flew toward Pakura at incredible speed, brimming with killing intent.
"Hmph!
That old hag Chiyo finally decided to show up?"
Pakura smiled and raised one hand.
Then she viciously clenched it toward a certain spot in the desert!
"Puff… puff… puff…"
With a series of soft pops,
the puppets that had been radiating murderous aura all collapsed limply to the ground.
"Hmph.
Playing hide-and-seek with me while standing on the earth?"
Pakura snorted coldly.
Then she continued walking forward.
After defeating Granny Chiyo,
no one managed to put up any meaningful resistance.
She advanced as though the place was completely empty, straight into the heart of Sunagakure's "ruins."
There, she dragged out several of the village's hidden higher-ups.
"Gentlemen. Long time no see?"
Pakura slowly removed her bamboo hat, revealing her true face.
She looked down at the stunned Sunagakure higher-ups with open mockery.
"Pakura…
You…
You're not dead?!"
"No…
Impossible!
Kirigakure clearly sent confirmation that they had killed you!"
"Are you some kind of vengeful ghost?!
No wonder you're so powerful!"
"Hahahahaha!
I must be dreaming!
How could Pakura possibly be alive?
And how could Sunagakure be destroyed like this?!"
...
The moment they realized the terrifying powerhouse was actually Pakura, the higher-ups completely broke down.
Some cried, some laughed hysterically, some screamed like madmen.
One of them even lost control of his bladder and bowels right there.
"Hmph~
So back then I actually sacrificed myself to protect trash like you?"
Looking at these higher-ups, Pakura suddenly felt how absurd she had been.
"I really was an idiot!
A super idiot!"
"Sensei!"
At that moment,
a small figure suddenly rushed out from the corner.
"Sensei… it really is you…"
"Maki…"
Pakura frowned slightly and looked at the girl.
She was very familiar with her—
this was her former student.
"Sensei!
What… what happened to you?!
Why are you destroying Sunagakure?!
You're the hero of this village!"
"Hero?"
Pakura gave a cold laugh.
"What even is a hero?
A hero is someone who willingly sacrifices themselves to protect the things they want to protect.
And me?
I was tricked by the Kazekage, sent to Kirigakure completely in the dark, and then ambushed and killed!
I was betrayed!
Betrayed by the village I trusted most—betrayed by the Kazekage I trusted most!"
As she spoke,
Pakura's emotions suddenly surged.
With a casual lift of her right hand,
the higher-up who had soiled himself instantly turned into a charred corpse.
Originally she already possessed the Scorch Release kekkei genkai,
capable of instantly evaporating all moisture from a person's body and turning them into a mummy-like husk.
Now, with Groudon's temperature control added…
her Scorch Release had become even more devastating!
"Sensei…"
The girl bit her lip hard, then spoke with determination.
"But… this place is still the village you once protected!
Please don't take your anger out on innocent people!"
"That's right!"
Baki suddenly rushed forward from the side.
"Pakura!
If you're willing, you can return to the village right now and become our Fifth Kazekage.
Honestly…
I've been dissatisfied with the village's current state for a long time.
I hope you'll come back and change it!"
Pakura silently regarded the two of them.
After a long pause…
she let out a cold snort.
"I have no desire to become the Kage of this trash village!"
With those words,
she flicked her wrist—
—and the remaining higher-ups instantly turned into charred corpses!
"Let's go."
Pakura quietly put her bamboo hat back on, turned, and walked away without another glance.
"Ring ring ring…"
Accompanied by the clear chime of a bell,
both Pakura and Guren vanished.
All that remained were the surviving shinobi of Sunagakure, staring blankly at the devastation, completely stunned.
...
"New intel."
A moment later, Zetsu suddenly emerged from underground.
"That woman is Pakura.
Sunagakure's former Scorch Release user—a hero.
Her current strength is many times greater than before!"
"Karin was one.
Now Pakura makes two.
Uchiha Izumi can be counted too."
"One could be coincidence.
But three?"
"Therefore… we can conclude…"
"That organization truly can make people's strength skyrocket."
At those words,
both Obito and Zetsu fell completely silent.
Previously Sasori had analyzed Karin and reached the conclusion that the Black-Robed Organization could instantly make people stronger.
But the conclusion had been too outrageous.
Obito hadn't fully believed it.
He thought it was just coincidence.
But now…
the scene before him proved it clearly:
This was no coincidence!
The Black-Robed Organization really could make people instantly stronger!
"What a… terrifying organization…"
Obito let out a soft sigh.
"Zetsu. We're going to Konoha."
