บท 98: MSIN: Chapter 97 [Welcome Kloud Paradizo 2]
It was probably for simple identification purposes, or maybe there were deeper reasons. The equipment styles of different ninja villages were completely different, and it was obvious at a glance.
Especially since ninjas wore forehead protectors like dog tags.
Haori's forehead protector was hidden under his mask. Asuma and Yūhi Kurenai were currently lying on the dog's back with their faces buried in the dog's fur. But Yamanaka Aoba's Konoha forehead protector was exposed.
So, it wasn't surprising that Pakura identified their affiliations.
Given Haori's notoriety in Sunagakure, Pakura would probably call out his White Yaksha identity next.
Haori secretly became vigilant, guarding against this person who could erupt at any moment. Scorch Release was indeed tricky.
After Pakura said a few nonsense words, Haori, following the norm, had to reply with a few nonsense words as well.
"The hero who repelled Iwagakure's attacks multiple times, the Sunagakure bloodline limit ninja, Pakura of Scorch Release, why are you in the Amegakure at this time?"
He was questioning her, as a Konoha ninja. Haori was now questioning a Sunagakure ninja, and a famous one at that.
And he was a Chunin. She was a Jonin, no matter what.
Unexpectedly, Pakura actually answered his question, "To put it bluntly, it's for a mission."
… Anyone could tell that this female ninja had said another nonsensical thing.
Of course, she wouldn't reveal what the specific mission was.
"Konoha ninja, there's no reason for Sunagakure to explain anything to you."
"No," Haori said without hesitation, "Although there is no subordination between Konoha and Sunagakure, considering that the two countries have just reached an alliance and achieved peace, Sunagakure's every move will cause tension in Konoha. At this time, a famous ninja like you appearing in the territory of Konoha's enemy, we can't help but suspect that Sunagakure has some kind of plan against Konoha."
Haori's words sounded as if their team had infiltrated the Land of Rain specifically because of Pakura.
Amazingly, even though they were on Amegakure's territory, and even though the Amegakure ninjas outnumbered them, these two invaders, who were also invaders, started talking to each other as if they were ignoring the Amegakure ninjas around them.
In fact, even if Haori hadn't asked, he would soon know Pakura's purpose for coming to Amegakure through a stroke of luck.
Team Haori's appearance, although only four people and one dog, was still intimidating, with the size of his summoning beast, the Splitting Dog, and its appearance—with its mouth open, showing its sharp teeth and drooling.
The Splitting Dog's three heads, looking around, and its fierce six eyes were quite impressive.
So, the two-sided battle became a three-sided standoff, and the scene became a bit strange.
Pakura didn't respond to Haori's words, but she started staring intently at Haori's eyes.
Had he been discovered? Haori wondered.
"Speaking of which, your appearance reminds me of someone mentioned in a mission description in the village. In the final battle between Konoha and Sunagakure not long ago, this person infiltrated the undefended Sunagakure village and carried out large-scale indiscriminate destruction... Konoha ninja, you are the so-called White Yaksha, aren't you?"
He had indeed been recognized. The Fuma clan could recognize his identity based on his Unsealed Lightning Release, but the Sunagakure ninjas were even better. They could make this guess based on appearance alone.
After all, they had a grudge.
Although Pakura's tone was normal, her words were tinged with a bit of gritted teeth.
Haori was puzzled. What was going on? Did he kill her husband that day?
But he wasn't stupid enough to immediately admit his identity. "Konoha and Sunagakure are now allied. The Land of Fire and the Land of Wind have achieved peace. Any actions in the war were just means to promote peace... And peace has been achieved. Right or wrong, there's no reason to dwell on the special methods of the past. Jonin Pakura, you have no reason or right to attack us. Do you want to destroy the hard-won peace between Konoha and Sunagakure?"
He said this with a righteous and stern tone, as if Sunagakure deserved to be bombed.
"Do you think invading Sunagakure village and destroying general facilities is a means of achieving peace?"
Haori shrugged and said with a hint of helplessness, "In fact, it did contribute to the peace process, didn't it?"
This made sense. The destruction of those facilities did push Sunagakure to surrender.
Pakura was speechless, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"You're quite eloquent, White Yaksha. But after all, you caused great damage to Sunagakure. This grudge can't be erased just because of the word 'peace.' You may be a hero of Konoha, but you are undoubtedly an enemy of Sunagakure."
She seemed to be sticking to his identity. Haori probably didn't know his reputation in Sunagakure. After the air invasion incident, his reputation there was probably as bad as the White Fang of the Leaf Village—hated and despised.
For a short time, he could rank among the top five "Konoha ninjas I most want to kill myself" in Sunagakure's polls.
Pakura ignored Haori's seemingly plausible peace argument and returned to the previous topic. "You just said that attacking you would affect peace between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. For example, if I kill you here in the Land of Rain, do you think anyone would know about it?"
"For example, even if the Konoha higher-ups knew that I, from Sunagakure, killed you, Konoha ninjas, do you think they would restart the war with Sunagakure because of this?"
Definitely not.
Haori didn't even have to think to give this answer.
With the Third Hokage's personality, he wouldn't destroy the hard-won peace because of the loss of a small team, even if this team included his own son.
Heartless? Weak? From the perspective of the victims, it would indeed feel that way. But as the Hokage, he had to consider things more comprehensively.
"So, you're very confident that you can take down our team?" Haori said, gesturing to Yamanaka Aoba. He knew that things couldn't be resolved peacefully now.
"Of course."
In the bewildered eyes of the surrounding Amegakure ninjas, these two ninjas, who were supposed to be allies, and who should have been breaking through Amegakure's defenses together, actually started fighting each other.
If it had been other Konoha ninjas, they probably wouldn't have done this. But Haori was just too hated by Sunagakure.
Maybe he really did kill Pakura's husband. Maybe they had only been married for two months.
Yamanaka Aoba jumped onto the Splitting Dog's back, and the dog carried the three of them far away.
He wasn't useless in battle, but considering the consequences of getting caught in Pakura's jutsu, he decided not to interfere in the battle.
So, Pakura charged towards Haori.
