013 : Sage Arts?

"That woman seems to be Sunagakure's lead, Pakura of the Scorch Release"

Pakura?

Hearing this name from Shisui's mouth, Shigen's eyes changed.

Am I really this lucky?

According to Danzo's plan, this was his mission target, he really didn't expect to meet her in this place so soon!

But thinking about it, this is normal.

At this time, Pakura is desperately hunting Kirigakure ninjas while resisting Onoki's southward advance into the land of wind.

This has brought her huge fame, and at the same time made both Iwagakure and Kirigakure hate her to the bone.

In the end, in order to kill her, they did not hesitate to cease the war with Sunagakure.

'The only thing I don't know is much the conflict has progressed till now?' Shigen touched his chin, he was not sure whether Pakura had become a full blown village hero at this time.

In order to prepare to fight against Iwagakure, Suna had planned to to sacrifice Pakura to halt the Kirigakure's advance.

To be honest, the intelligence information on Sunagakure's side is insufficient, or rather, Konoha probably did not expect Sunagakure to sacrifice one of their strongest kunoichi's so decisively.

Shigen cursed secretly in his heart, then looked at Shisui beside him.

"Senpai, it's a big fish."

"Yeah." Shisui frowned as he looked at the fight in the distance, as if thinking about something, but from his eyes, it could be seen that he seemed eager to try.

Needless to say, he was worried about Pakura's strength and Sunagakure's reinforcements. Plus, there are quite a few people on the other side, but he really doesn't want to let go of such a big fish.

After a while, he finally made up his mind. "Prepare to act, try to fight quickly and decisively, and retreat immediately if it doesn't work, in case they have backup reinforcements."

"Yes!"

Shigen and Yugao nodded at the same time.

Although this team had never officially decided on a team leader ever since they came together, according to experience, strength and background, Shisui was the most suitable.

After all, he is the genius of the Uchiha clan!

It's a pity that Shisui parachuted in, and was tricked by Shigen on the first day of joining the team, otherwise, they would have decided on who will lead them much earlier.

But at the critical moment, he immediately stepped up to make decisions and take responsibility.

'thankfully if something really happens, I won't have to take the blame.'

Slowly approaching, hiding on the yellow sand slope, Shigen raised his head, looking at the majestic Pakura not far away.

He watched her her manipulate the miniature sun in her hands with extreme skill as she used her scorch release to instantly vaporize water style attacks from her attackers, leaving Kirigakure ninjas embarrassed and frustrated as not a single attack from them met their mark.

He watched her easily manipulate the battlefield to her advantage as she effortlessly dodged attacks while vaporizing those who she couldn't/

'Fuk... So this is why Kirigakure wants her dead... She's a natural counter to all water based jutsus'

"Although I have Shisui as the backup, I can't let my guard down..." Shigen muttered secretly, he still has 3 free points now, thinking about it, he simply added all these free points to [Yin Release]!

[Free points: 0]

[Yin Release: LV3]

Almost instantly, the Yin Release usage methods and advanced information regarding it's application surged into Shigen's mind.

He immediately understood the principle and knew how to better use this power.

But at this moment, the Sunagakure team led by Pakura almost wiped out the remaining Kirigakure ninjas.

Moreover, their formation was scattered.

Seeing this, Shisui's eyes instantly turned into Sharingan. "Let's do it!"

As soon as the words fell, he rushed out first, quickly heading towards Pakura in front.

While sprinting, his hands were also forming seals quickly.

"Fire Release Great Fireball Technique."

A huge fireball roared towards the Sunagakure team in front, which suddenly surprised Pakura's team not far away.

"Who is it?"

They had just fought against a wave on enemies, even with their advantage, they had been tired and injured, but now, seemingly from nowhere, another wave of enemies appeared!

"Don't panic, prepare for battle, I'm here." At the critical moment, Pakura immediately spoke to stabilize the morale while at the same time, several orange-red fireballs appeared behind her in an instant.

These fireballs floated around her, and the scorching aura seemed to distort everything around her.

Shisui's Great Fireball was even offset by one of her orange fireballs, but Shisui also rushed to Pakura's front at this moment, and the battle between the two was about to break out.

"Senpai, let's act too."

Shigen put on his mask, then nodded to Yugao beside him, and the next moment he directly activated the [Unknown Cursed Seal LV3]

Since he didn't plan on dragging the fight long, Shigen instantly powered up to maximum and rushed out

Feeling the power in his body rapidly increasing with more natural energy entering his body, Shigen's increased his speed even more as he became a blur, leaving afterimages behind as he rushed to a Sunagakure ninja in front!

"What?"

Such speed astonished the Sand Ninja; he couldn't keep up at all!

Shigen showed no mercy.

A kunai appeared in his hand, and ignoring the bewildered face before him, he brought the kunai down ruthlessly.

Blood splattered as the Sand Ninja clutched his neck and knelt on the ground. Blood flowed continuously from between his fingers, and his body began to twitch uncontrollably.

Shigen spun around, once again bursting out with astonishing speed towards another Sand Ninja!

"Die!"

Although Shigen was fierce, the members of Pakura's team were not pushovers either.

The death of their teammate ignited their anger.

Just as Shigen arrived, the Sand Ninja wielded a kunai in each hand and directly attacked.

"Your courage is commendable, but your speed is still slightly lacking."

Shigen in his Cursed Seal state was not to be trifled with.

He quickly sidestepped, avoiding the Sand Ninja's kunai, and as he moved, his elbow struck hard against the Sand Ninja's waist.

The Sand Ninja cried out in pain, his body involuntarily retreating backward, but he didn't forget to hurl the kunai in his hands at Shigen.

The whistling sound of the two kunai grew closer and closer. Shigen expressionlessly waved his kunai.

Clang--

Clang--

With two light metallic clangs, the two kunai fell to the ground, and Shigen's kunai flew towards the Sand Ninja almost instantly!

The kunai pierced deeply into the Sand Ninja's neck.

Shigen glanced at him and immediately jumped away.

"Wind Style: Great Vacuum Blast!"

"Wind Style: Wind Cutter!"

"Wind Style: Wind Slice!"

Just as he left, several Wind Style ninjutsu blasted towards him, and the sky full of sand became even more frenzied at that moment.

Perhaps it was because of his devastating combat performance that he attracted more attention.

However, Yugao had already entered the fray, and with Shisui holding back Pakura, he wasn't too worried.

Moreover, he now intended to conduct a thorough experiment.

'Yin Release cannot be applied to Taijutsu, but it can have a good effect on ninjutsu. In that case, if I combine it with my current Cursed Seal state...'

Landing steadily on the ground, Shigen overlapped his hands, forming a seal.

With his Earth Release reaching LV6, he could skip a lot of the hand seals required, as just, in just under a moment, Shigen completed performing hand seals for his jutsu

Looking at the Sand Ninja getting closer and closer, Shigen smiled brightly, and the natural chakra and Yin Release chakra within his body surged.

'There are some people in the ninja world that you absolutely cannot provoke, such as...'

A cheat like me!

"Sage Art: Yin Release: Earth Stone Dragon!"

The loose sandy ground suddenly trembled violently.

The next moment, the yellow sand was shaken away, and an earth dragon nearly forty meters long burst out of the ground!

The giant dragon roared to the sky, its huge body and deafening sound striking fear the hearts of Suna ninjas.

But they weren't the only ones surprised, Shigen too was stunned by this scene.

'Ho Lee Fuk, is this still an Earth Dragon?'
