章 317: Iwagakure

Pakura had been following Zhang Miao since her resurrection, so Zhang Miao could get her ninja fragments every day.

It had been almost a year now, and Zhang Miao had already collected all the ninja fragments needed to recruit Pakura. The reason why she had not been recruited was that Zhang Miao felt that the time was not ripe yet.

And now Zhang Miao thought that the time was ripe, so she decisively chose to recruit Pakura.

After forming the seal, with a low shout, the ninja fragments he touched disappeared instantly, bursting with white smoke.

It was not the first time Pakura had seen such a scene, so she was not too surprised. However, when the white smoke dissipated, Pakura saw the person in the white fog clearly. She could not help but widen her eyes.

"This... this is me?"

"Haha!" Seeing Pakura's surprised look, Zhang Miao immediately laughed and nodded while laughing. "Yes, this is the past you!"

"The past me?" Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Pakura immediately frowned with some doubt. "Is it that Sunagakure's Pakura?"

Just as Pakura finished speaking, the "Pakura" recruited by Zhang Miao immediately shook his head.

"I no longer belong to Sunagakure. Sunagakure's Pakura has already been sold to death by the Kiri Ninjas. The current me only belongs to the master who saved me from the boundless darkness!"

At this point, she immediately knelt down on one knee in front of Zhang Miao.

"Pakura answered the master's summon and came to this world. She is willing to offer all her loyalty and life to the master. Let the master's divine light cover the entire world as soon as possible and release all the suffering souls!"

"This opening line is good. I like it!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao nodded to Pakura, who had just been recruited.

"Yes, I accept your loyalty and will protect your life. When my divine light covers the world, it will also be the time for my followers to obtain glory and eternal life!"

Just as Zhang Miao said this, the system notification rang out in his mind.

"[Ding - Congratulations to His Holiness for recruiting a 6-star Jonin, Pakura, and obtaining the her chakra reserve. As this Ninja is a dexterous ninja, congratulations to His Holiness for obtaining a new specialty - Agility!]"

Hearing this specialty, Zhang Miao immediately shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Sure enough, not many of the things that are given for free are good. Most of them are useless. Alright, system, quickly help me open up Pakura's specialty list!"

"Yes, opening the list for His Holiness..."

Following the system notification, Pakura's specialty list appeared in front of Zhang Miao like a display screen.

[Option 1:]

"[Bloodline Limit: Scorch Release: A nature transformation Bloodline Limit that was created from the combination of Fire Release and Wind Release. It can condense fireballs to attack the enemy. Once hit by the fire, all the water in the target's body will be instantly evaporated. Its power is extraordinary. ]"

[Note: The specialist in making mummies!]

[Option 2:]

[Hero of Sunagakure: Leading the Suna ninjas on the battlefield all year round, her decisive posture is worthy of being looked up to. When someone with this specialty is present, the combat effectiveness of Sand ninjas can be increased by 30%. ]

[Note: Little ones, attack! ]

[Option 3:]

[The betrayed: Those who have this specialty are easily betrayed!]

[Note: We must go even if there is any difficulty. If there's no difficulty, we will create them and go!"

Zhang Miao: "..."

"What the hell!"

When Zhang Miao saw the last specialty, his mouth could not help but twitch twice.

"Damn, I'm not a masochist. There's nothing to say. I will take the first option!"

As he spoke, he pointed at the first option, and the system's voice rang out in his mind again.

"[Ding - congratulations to His Holiness for obtaining the Scorch Release! Obtained bonus jutsu: Scorch Release - Scorching Wave!]"

After hearing the system's notification, Zhang Miao immediately smiled and nodded. He then smiled at the recruited Pakura.

"Alright, get up. From today onwards, your name will be Hanakura. In the future, you can call me Your Holiness like Pakura!"

"Yes, Your Holiness!"

Hanakura agreed and stood up. At this time, Zhang Miao turned to look at Pakura again.

"Pakura, Hanakura is your past self. You can treat her as your younger sister, understand?"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Pakura, who was in a daze, came back to her senses and quickly nodded. "Yes, Your Holiness, I understand!"

Looking at her serious face, Zhang Miao also nodded with a smile.

"Yes, it's good that you understand. Then you should set off to find Roshi. Remember not to be rash. When you find him, return to the biggest inn in town and wait for me."

"Yes, Your Holiness!"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Pakura and Hanakura responded at the same time and then used the Body Flicker to leave.

After seeing the two disappear, Zhang Miao shrugged his shoulders again.

"Alright, I'll go to Iwagakure too. Hmm... where is Iwagakure? Well, I'd better find someone to ask!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao immediately walked into the town not far away, and then stayed in the biggest inn in the town and directly paid the living expenses for a year.

The hotel owner was naturally very enthusiastic about such a generous customer, so when Zhang Miao vaguely expressed that he wanted to entrust a mission but could not find anyone who would accept the mission, the hotel owner enthusiastically told him Iwagakure's direction and location.

After figuring out how to get to Iwagakure's, Zhang Miao was not in a hurry to set off. Instead, he ate a comfortable meal in the hotel and rested for a while. When night fell, he controlled his sand and flew directly toward Iwagakure.

Iwagakure was located in the southeast area of the Land of Earth. It was far from the border, so although Zhang Miao flew at maximum speed, it still took more than four hours to arrive at Iwagakure.

Iwagakure was a Ninja Village surrounded by a mountain of rocks like sharp bamboo shoots. The temper of the ninjas was as hard as the rocks in their village.

Iwa ninjas and the others were very stubborn, and their battle achievements were not bad.

During the Second War, 10.000 Iwa ninjas were able to beat up the Third Raikage for three days and three nights without caring about casualties. The Third Raikage who was able to fight toe-to-toe with the Eight-tails was exhausted to death. The only one who could do such a thing was Iwagakure.

During the Third War, they almost killed the famous Legendary Sannin, effectively making Konoha lose their temper. If not for Minato, who appeared out of nowhere and cut off the Iwa ninjas' supply line in the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, Konoha would not have been able to get out of the war.

Therefore, Iwagkure was also a village that could not be underestimated.

Of course, for others, Zhang Miao had no respect for Iwagakure. Seeing that Iwagakure's door had closed, he directly flew in from the sky above the village.

However, just as he flew in, a loud roar came from below.

"Who is it?"

Hearing this roar, Zhang Miao immediately understood that he had been exposed, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he immediately made a hand seal.

"Transformation jutsu!"
