Kapitel 127: Sit and Watch Pakura’s Performance

In this way, Konoha joined the battle in the Land of Rain.

Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Amegakure were all confused.

Even the higher-ups in Konoha were baffled.

Konoha set up camp on a hillside between Sunagakure and Iwagakure.

And only Shintaro fought against the Iwagakure forces at the beginning and destroyed them together.

Besides that, Konoha did nothing.

After the Konoha ninja spent a few days building the camp, there was no movement at all, as if they were on vacation in the Land of Rain.

A watchtower was erected on the mountain, with complete facilities and a wide view, overlooking the entire battlefield.

Shintaro's favorite thing every day was to climb up and enjoy the view.

If he faced rainy weather with poor visibility, he could also fly up to manually disperse the dark clouds.

Sunagakure and Iwagakure were both afraid of Konoha's and Shintaro's strength, and they even stopped fighting altogether in the past few days.

News soon spread in Amegakure Village, announcing that Amegakure Village had formed an alliance with Konoha and issued a statement prohibiting war from affecting civilians.

This wave of operations made Sunagakure and Iwagakure even more restrained.

Although Amegakure Village is a small country, its strength is not weak.

This was proven by Hanzo in the last great ninja war.

Moreover, this time they joined forces with Konoha, at least the sense of oppression in three-thirds of the Land of Rain was still sufficient.

On this day, Shintaro went to the watchtower as usual to enjoy the scenery.

Today was a rare good weather day in the Land of Rain, with clear skies and even a bit of heat.

He was leaning on a rocking chair, enjoying the comfortable wind at a high altitude, when he saw someone below.

Standing at the edge of the watchtower and looking down, he saw that he was delivering a message.

"Captain Shintaro, this is a letter from Konoha!"

The ninja below the tower shouted loudly.

Shintaro raised his hand and sucked up the letter, opened it, and saw that the letter was written by Hiruzen for him.

The letter first praised Shintaro's actions in the Land of Rain, then switched topics, criticizing his unauthorized actions and requesting the troops not to act recklessly again.

Shintaro had anticipated the reaction of the Konoha higher-ups and casually put the letter down.

He initially had no intention of taking action.

The Land of Rain was now in a difficult balance, and he only intended to maintain that peace.

Since the higher-ups didn't want to see him active again, Shintaro would retire in the Land of Rain and focus on being compliant.

He leaned back in the chair while joking.

After a while, he slowly stood up and looked into the distance with a surprised expression.

"What is this?"

He saw almost the entire Sunagakure force attacking, heading towards the Iwagakure defense line under Pakura's leadership.

Shintaro touched his chin and observed for a while, then sat back casually.

"So that's it."

He worried that Sunagakure's top management was dissatisfied with the current situation and planned to test it to see if they could break the deadlock.

Sunagakure didn't dare to attack Konoha, which had joined forces with Amegakure Village, so they chose Iwagakure and bet that Konoha would not take action.

Shintaro actually didn't plan to take action, but he was ready to watch the show.

Pakura's figure was always clearly visible, especially from a high place where he could see Pakura's high and straight chest.

Shintaro clicked his mouth, wishing in his heart that Kurenai could grow that big.

Pakura rushed forward and suddenly felt a chill. She looked in Shintaro's direction from somewhere, but she could only see the watchtower and the white hair looming in the distance.

Pakura frowned and glanced in that direction. Then she turned around and continued on her way.

She wasn't in the mood to think about all this.

The newly appointed Fourth Kazekage had issued an order, asking her to attack the Iwagakure positions as a final assault.

If this battle failed, they would withdraw their forces to defend and move the excess troops to the Fire Country battlefield.

Although Sunagakure was also one of the five great ninja villages, its foundation was not as good as Iwagakure and Konoha. It had a shortage of troops and certainly could not spend too many troops in the Land of Rain.

Of course, this final assault was a dangerous move. Whether it succeeded or not, it put Pakura in a dangerous situation.

Shintaro looked at Pakura's back and felt that the other's situation was somewhat similar to his, as they were both not trusted by their superiors.

Shintaro sat, looking in the direction Sunagakure was heading, and thought of something.

Of course, the entire Sunagakure force couldn't hide from Iwagakure's investigation.

The Sunagakure forces were stopped on their way.

Moreover, Iwagakure had built a simple assault, and the war between the two sides was about to begin. Pakura was still fierce in the battle, leading, and almost unstoppable with her scorching element.

But Iwagakure was not without experts.

A man with brown hair and blue eyes and a pointed head jumped from behind, landed, and punched the ground.

"[Bakuton: Jiraiken]."

A violent explosion erupted instantly, smashing the ground into pieces. The gravel struck forward at high speed, piercing the sky with astonishing power.

This person was a member of the explosion corps of Iwagakure Village, known as Gari.

The so-called explosive element was to concentrate explosive release chakra on the fist. Once it touched the enemy or other objects, this chakra could be injected into it and exploded.

Its destructive power was quite astonishing. In close combat, Gari could almost lock the battle as long as he could touch the enemy, and long-range attacks could also be released indirectly by exploding the ground like just now.

Several sand ninjas around Pakura were hit by the flying stones, and the unlucky ones died instantly.

Pakura used fireballs to protect her body and blocked the incoming attack.

Pakura and Gari fought against each other. Their strengths were almost the same; both were elite Jonin or higher, and they both mastered lethal moves.

This made the battle destined to be very intense.

Shintaro took out a watermelon from the drawer and ate it while watching the show.

Gari raised his fist across the damaged ground and attacked Pakura, his fist waving in the air creating a strong wind.

Pakura dodged backward, and at the same time, she waved six fireballs, and the fireballs flew towards Gari in the air.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gari took a step back and immediately distanced himself. The position he was standing at was instantly burned to ashes by the fireballs falling from the sky.

The other fireballs made a big circle and continued to fly towards Gari, burning the air.

Gari ran backward, dodging left and right, and took a few steps to duck behind the earth flow wall released by the Iwagakure Ninja on the battlefield.

Landmine fists hit the earth flow wall, causing the earth flow wall to explode into several stones and fly forward, just in time to collide with the fireballs.

The stones were shattered by the fireballs, but the fireballs also lost their power.

Shintaro ate watermelon and sat watching Pakura's performance, thinking in his heart: "A very suitable opponent."

Pakura and Gari had very close strengths and were wary of each other, so Shintaro concluded that this battle might be a stalemate.

Both sides might reach a deadlock.

The result was indeed as Shintaro expected; Pakura and Gari fought fiercely for a long time. At this time, the Sunagakure forces were about to be defeated.

Both sides had equal strength, but one side was defending, and the other was attacking. Of course, the situation favored the defending side and the people.

Seeing this, Pakura had no choice but to retreat reluctantly.

Sunagakure's assault failed, but Shintaro watched a good show from the watchtower.
