Chapter 127

After the wood clone finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye also withdrew his gaze.

Leaving the Hidden Leaf Village, Pakura led the Hidden Sand ninjas and left the Konoha forest without stopping.

Continuing to walk southwest, crossing the territory of the Land of Rivers, is the Land of Wind.

But, just the moment they stepped out of the Konoha forest, an unexpected situation occurred.

"Ouch! My stomach hurts so much!"

"The toilet! Where is the toilet!"

"Don't worry about that, hurry and find a place where there’s no one..."

"It hurts so much, what’s going on? Did the people of Konoha poison us?"

Suddenly, several people clutched their stomachs and squeezed their legs together as they ran into the forest; they clearly couldn't hold it anymore.

Pakura instinctively furrowed her brows; the situation was not good.

But she hadn't had time to figure out what was not good about it.

"Lord Pakura, the situation is not right; everyone suddenly has stomach aches; there must be a problem!"

A Hidden Sand ninja stepped forward with a solemn face.

Pakura furrowed her brows as she watched the Hidden Sand ninjas running into the forest and nodded silently.

Psh!

With a sudden stab, Pakura’s eyes widened sharply, and she turned her head to look at the Hidden Sand ninja who had attacked her in disbelief.

But immediately following, a trace of ferocity flashed across Pakura’s face.

"Scorch Release..."

At this distance, the attacking Hidden Sand ninja had no room to dodge and was directly evaporated of all moisture in his body by Pakura’s Kekkei Genkai.

A person who had been perfectly fine just a moment ago was directly transformed into a mummy-like shape.

The Hidden Sand ninja fell, and Pakura also staggered back.

A kunai was deeply embedded in her flank.

Pakura never expected that she would be betrayed by people from her own village.

And the person who gave this order entered her mind without needing much thought.

"Rasa!"

Pakura’s face was full of resentment; she never expected him to make a move against her at this time.

Psh!

Another backstab.

Pakura’s eyes widened, and she was pushed forward two steps by the impact of the thrust.

She turned her head sharply, just wanting to use her Kekkei Genkai.

But looking at the person she trusted most, looking at her with a ferocious face, Pakura suddenly lost all her strength.

She collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at her subordinate.

"Why?"

This was her only doubt.

She considered that she hadn't treated her subordinates poorly, so why, at this moment, did her subordinate not protect her, but instead gave her a fatal backstab?

She couldn't figure it out.

So she wanted to ask clearly.

"Don't blame me; I was forced too."

Pakura’s subordinate, with a ferocious face, said these heartless words, stepped forward, and raised his hand; the sharp kunai flashed with a cold light in the sunlight.

Pakura stared fixedly at her subordinate.

She was unwilling.

She never expected that her death would not be on the battlefield, but due to betrayal by a companion.

But now, the power in her body was flowing away rapidly; even if the other party didn't finish her off, she wouldn't survive.

At this moment, there was only endless despair in her heart.

"Sure enough, I knew it would be like this."

The faint words carried a trace of a sigh.

Pakura listened to this familiar voice and turned her head with great effort, but saw nothing.

She could only see the traitor turn around in a panic and let out an exclamation.

"Itachi are—!"

"Wood Release..."

"Argh—"

Pakura saw a large number of branches suddenly pierce through the traitor’s body; yet, the traitor hadn't died from such an injury and let out a shrill scream.

Soon, the screams rang out continuously.

Although Pakura didn't see it, she could imagine the scene in her mind.

The Hidden Sand ninjas were all pierced and injured by that person’s Wood Release power, but none were killed.

This kind of injury from the inside out fully destroyed the enemy’s body.

But while delivering a fatal attack to the enemy, it strangely magnified the pain while preserving their lives.

Letting the people who were attacked feel extreme pain, yet unable to die.

This is a kind of inhumane torture.

"When dealing with traitors, there is naturally no need to talk about any morality."

"When Itachi betray someone, Itachi should have been prepared for it."

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye said faintly, coming to Pakura’s side.

Pakura turned her head with effort; her vision was already blurred, and she could only barely see a human shape.

"Senju... Senju Senju Senju Xingye? Why... why..."

She finished speaking with effort, and her eyes went black as she lost consciousness.

When she opened her eyes again, what she saw was a woman with long red hair and a gentle face looking at her.

"Itachi’re awake?"

The gentle voice like a mother’s made Pakura stare blankly.

Kushina Uzumaki touched Pakura’s forehead with some curiosity.

"Didn't they say the medicine was working well? Why do Itachi look so dazed?"

"The fever has gone down too... could it be that the fever burned your brain?"

Her face changed, and she looked at Pakura with worry, full of regret.

Pakura came back to her senses, feeling that her body was very weak, but there was no pain at all.

She didn't care, thinking it was just the effect of the anesthesia.

"Where... is this?"

She turned her head and found that this was a very beautiful room with a very pleasant smell.

It was the same smell as the red-haired woman in front of her.

Hearing her speak, Kushina Uzumaki breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought your brain... this is the Senju compound, and this is my room."

Sure enough!

I wasn't dreaming before.

Pakura thought to herself.

At this time, a small head appeared in her line of sight.

"Mother, is she better?"

Niu asked curiously.

Kushina Uzumaki touched Niu’s little head and said with a smile.

"Niu, be good; the auntie just recovered and needs to rest, don't disturb her."
