Naruto: I Traveled with a Max Level Account

Chapter 376: Chapter 376: This Woman Is Interesting; I'll Take Her(Bonus)



Damn it, I was too careless.

Because of Lord Kazekage's indulgence and favoritism towards that bastard Rasa, I let my dissatisfaction lower my guard.

Pakura regretted her carelessness. Two fireballs, burning with orange flames and clear like magatama, floated up and launched towards where Takuya was hiding.

"Boom!!!"

A terrifying explosion swept through the area, enveloping everything within a hundred- meter radius of Takuya's hiding spot in the blast of the scorch release's unique fireballs.

With thick smoke rising, a massive crater appeared on the ground.

Scorch Release is indeed powerful; its strength is almost on par with the average Lightning Explosion.

Seeing the huge crater left by the blast, Takuya's eyes lit up.

Pakura's Scorch Release didn't seem so unimpressive after all.

"Miss Pakura, watch out!"

Amid the cries of her companions, Pakura pulled out two kunai and blocked in front of her.

Clang!

The Grasscutter Sword clashed against her kunai. The powerful force transmitted through her arm made Pakura pause slightly. Her long leg swept toward Takuya:

"Send the signal immediately! Yagami Takuya of Konoha is here!"

If the shinobi of Sunagakure had a list of those they hated the most, Hatake Sakumo would undoubtedly be at the top.

And Takuya would be second.

Although Takuya hadn't killed many Suna shinobi, his humiliation of the Third Kazekage and the damage to his reputation was enough for all of Sunagakure's shinobi to despise him.

Thus, Takuya's image was widely known among the shinobi of Sunagakure, and they were all aware of the precautions to take when encountering Yagami Takuya.

For instance, they shouldn't look directly into his eyes, or they'd fall under his terrifying genjutsu.

As the battle erupted, Pakura kept her head down, avoiding eye contact with Takuya, gritting her teeth as she forced him back, and reminding her teammates to send out the signal.

Even if she was confident in her abilities, Pakura wasn't foolish enough to think she could take down Takuya alone.

This fight couldn't go on like this.

After a few exchanges, Pakura realized her kunai wouldn't hold up. Fortunately, she could still control her Scorch Release to attack.

Four fireballs hovered around, raising the temperature considerably. The distorted air around the fireballs made it evident that they were intensely hot-being touched would certainly strip away a layer of skin.

The four fireballs whooshed towards Takuya.

Instead of retreating, Takuya countered, the Grasscutter Sword in his hand lighting up with purple-blue energy:

"Lightning Slash!"

The purple-blue energy covered the Grasscutter Sword, extending its blade significantly as he swung it toward the four fireballs.

"Boom!"

A powerful explosion shockwave swept through. Pakura pulled out a new kunai and quickly retreated.

At that moment, she had no time to worry about her comrades affected by the shockwave- she couldn't afford any distractions.

Damn it, Yagami Takuya has actually moved from the coastline battlefield.

Sunagakure had always been gathering information about Takuya.

Pakura knew quite a lot about Takuya, especially about his feat of slicing through the Three- Tails at the coastline battlefield.

Facing such a formidable opponent, Pakura dared not be careless.

"Whoosh!"

The signal flare shot up into the sky and exploded like a giant firework. Upon seeing it, many Suna shinobi rushed to the battle's location, including the Third Kazekage himself.

The battle was too close to the camp, and the commotion was hard to miss, especially with the signal flare.

"Your Kekkei Genkai is quite impressive, and your strength is nothing to scoff at."

Takuya wasn't concerned about the signal flare. Instead, he found himself growing interested in Pakura.

Did it have no effect?

Clenching her teeth, Pakura remained silent, gripping her kunai tightly as she continued fighting.

A bright light flashed, and Pakura kept her head low, blocking with her kunai.

Clang!

The kunai clashed with the Grasscutter Sword, and Pakura's heart skipped a beat at the sensation of the kunai being cut through.

Her kunai was severed, and the Grasscutter Sword didn't stop, continuing its path towardNôv(el)B\\jnn

Pakura's throat.

Am I going to die on the battlefield like this?

To die at the hands of Yagami Takuya?

Pakura froze. At that moment, she didn't even have time to react.

All her skills seemed useless at this point.

Even though there were many abilities she hadn't used, it didn't matter now-there wasn't enough time.

The sharp blade was already at her throat, and she didn't even have time to close her eyes and accept her fate.

But instead of the pain of a blade piercing her throat, she felt a heavy blow to the back of her

neck.

Her body instinctively stiffened, her eyes widened, and the broken kunai in her hand fell to the ground as she slumped down.

Takuya sheathed the Grasscutter Sword and supported the unconscious Pakura. Under the stunned gaze of her companions, he casually slung her over his shoulder.

He looked every bit like a bandit abducting an innocent maiden.

"Tell your Kazekage that this woman is interesting. I'm taking her with me-no need to see

me off, I'll be on my way."

With his palm on his forehead in a mocking farewell gesture, Takuya laughed heartily as he

carried Pakura away.

"What just happened?"

Not thirty seconds after Takuya left, the Third Kazekage arrived, stepping down from iron

sand.

He glanced around at the chaotic scene, the pockmarked ground, and the lingering traces of battle in the air, but he saw no sign of Pakura or her opponent.

Instead, he found Pakura's patrol team standing there, dumbfounded, as if they'd been

frightened.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, the Third Kazekage snorted coldly.

The kunoichi who had a good relationship with Pakura suddenly snapped out of it, almost

crying as she pleaded:

"Lord Kazekage, please save Lady Pakura! She's been taken by Yagami Takuya of Konoha."

"?"

"Yagami Takuya?"

Wasn't that guy supposed to be at the coastline battlefield?

But now wasn't the time to be curious. The Third Kazekage ascended into the sky on his iron

sand, chasing after Takuya in the direction he had left.

Pakura was one of the key individuals among Sunagakure's new generation, and although the Third Kazekage preferred Rasa, that didn't mean Pakura was unimportant.

On the contrary, Pakura was far more capable than Rasa in many respects.

Losing such a promising shinobi to the enemy was no small matter. Especially since she had been taken by the one he despised the most.

Just thinking about some of Takuya's past actions made the Third Kazekage's eyes burn with

fury.

Damn brat!

Cursing inwardly, the Third Kazekage sped toward Konoha's camp, hoping to intercept

Takuya and rescue Pakura along the way.

But what the Third Kazekage hadn't expected was that he wouldn't even catch a glimpse of

Takuya.

Before reaching Konoha's camp, he was intercepted by Hatake Sakumo.

There was almost no hope of rescuing Pakura.

"Damn it!!!"

The Third Kazekage couldn't accept this outcome. But facing Hatake Sakumo, his rage was

useless-others might fear him, but Sakumo did not.

It was just another battle, and being this close to the Konoha camp, was the Kazekage sure he

wanted to fight here?

If the Third Kazekage was willing to fight, Sakumo didn't mind obliging him.

After a tense standoff, the Third Kazekage gritted his teeth and left.

"Why did the Kazekage suddenly show up?"

Nara Shikashige approached Sakumo, curiously watching the fading dot in the sky.

Shrugging, Sakumo looked like he had no idea:

"Who knows, maybe he was just scouting the area. But he looked like he was suppressing his

anger-who provoked him?"

"Was it Takuya?"

Could it be that he found out about Takuya's arrival and stormed over in a rage?

Would the Third Kazekage really be that foolish?
