'This is such an insult to a ninja!' Pakura gritted her teeth, bitterness welling up inside her.
Was this Gojo Kaigetsu even a ninja?
He showed no sign of panic, no intention of resisting. Instead, he spread his arms as if embracing a lover.
In that instant, Pakura saw at least eight fatal openings!
With a slight push of her kunai, she could easily take Gojo Kaigetsu's head. It would be effortless.
His reaction was so abnormal, as if he was certain she wouldn't attack him.
'Could it be... the village's plan was discovered by Konoha?!'
Pakura's heart lurched. The kunai in her hand stopped barely an inch from Gojo Kaigetsu's throat.
Her icy gaze, honed on countless battlefields, radiated killing intent. Her voice was frigid. "Konoha ninja, why don't you dodge?!"
"Because I'm not afraid~"
"Why aren't you afraid?"
"Not afraid, just not afraid!"
As if to taunt her further, Gojo Kaigetsu thrust his neck forward, pressing his vulnerable throat against the sharp edge of her kunai.
Any other ninja, even a Kage-level shinobi, would be mortally wounded by such a move. Even Tsunade couldn't save them.
But Gojo Kaigetsu remained nonchalant. Even if Pakura's hand trembled and she accidentally sliced his throat, the Limitless technique would create a safe distance between them.
"You... bastard!"
"Do you really think I wouldn't kill you?!"
By now, Pakura realized that the Suna elders' self-inflicted wound strategy, learned from the "Thirty-Six Stratagems," had been completely seen through by Konoha.
In that case... what about peace?
Was she supposed to commit suicide here?
As a ninja... she couldn't even die at the hands of the enemy but had to resort to such a humiliating end.
"Do you recognize me? Pakura-san~ Why pretend you don't know me and call me 'Konoha ninja'? My name is Gojo Kaigetsu."
"I heard that your Suna has been striving for advancement lately, even using a self-sacrifice strategy against us in Konoha. Coming to Konoha on a secret mission, to die in exchange for expanding trade through a peace treaty."
Gojo Kaigetsu's tone was laced with mockery.
"It seems Suna really wants to challenge Konoha."
"Do you even have the strength to challenge us?"
Pakura's heart turned cold.
This reality was more despairing than having her Scorch Style pierce her own heart. If the self-sacrifice strategy was exposed, did that mean the village's development plan was also known to Konoha?
In that case, could Suna's painstakingly crafted trade agreement still be successfully implemented?
Where did it go wrong? Was there a traitor in the village?
"So, Pakura-san, now that your plan is exposed, how does it feel? Want to kill me here?"
"There's no one behind me~ Come on, I'll give you another chance."
