Chapter 136 - Chapter 135: Scattering a Thousand Crows Technique  

Wildly, Umino Yoru roughly grabbed Pakura's jaw, showing no mercy as he forced her mouth open to check for poison pills. Finding none, he spared her the humiliation of dislocating her jaw. 

"Water Style: Starch Syrup Capturing Field!" 

With a quick hand seal, Umino Yoru restrained Pakura. 

To prevent her from using her Scorch Release to melt the water-based bindings, he flipped her over and pressed her against the wall of poison gas bombs. 

"Stop!" 

Pakura, who hadn't feared death earlier, now trembled in genuine panic. 

But instead of doing what she feared he would, Umino Yoru dipped his fingers in the blood of the desert falcon and drew sealing formulas across her back—completely locking away her chakra. 

Not entirely confident in his basic sealing skills, he added a few extra layers for good measure. 

"Mmm~" 

The tickling sensation made Pakura let out involuntary soft gasps. 

"Done!" 

Only when her back was completely covered in seals did Umino Yoru finally step back, satisfied. 

Then, noticing her earlier misinterpretation of his actions, he smirked and pressed her harder against the poison gas bombs, whispering darkly in her ear: 

"Heh heh heh… Regret not detonating them now?" 

His hot breath sent shivers down her spine, mixing humiliation with fury. 

"You Konoha scum! Kill me if you want—I won't beg!" 

Pakura clenched her teeth, defiant. "I never regret my choices. And I despise warmongers like you who treat civilians as expendable!" 

Just then, several shadow clones emerged from hidden corners of the warehouse, hands already weaving signs. 

"Water Style: Giant Water Prison!" 

A massive sphere of water enveloped all the poison gas bombs, neutralizing the threat. 

Umino Yoru leaned in again, whispering: "How about now? Still regret it?" 

"You… tricked me?!" 

Pakura finally realized—he wasn't the monster she thought. He'd planned this, using her sympathy to subdue her while ensuring the bombs' safety. 

Umino Yoru chuckled, rubbing his nose. "What's with that look? Tactical deception is standard shinobi practice." 

"Hmph! Liar!" 

She flushed with embarrassment. If only she'd fled earlier!

Meanwhile, Shukutaro arrived with the weapons squad for backup—only to pause at the entrance. 

"Captain… bad timing?" 

He quickly backpedaled, yanking his curious teammates with him. Peeking around the corner, he grinned. 

"Ahem!" Umino Yoru abruptly stepped away, realizing how compromising their position looked. 

Pakura's face burned. Her fury nearly melted the seals on her back. 

"Shukutaro! Quit gawking and seal these bombs now!" 

"Yes, sir!" 

Shukutaro scurried in, eyeing Pakura. "Damn, Captain… Even in Suna's wasteland, they grow roses like this?" 

He whistled. She was a rare beauty—even by Konoha's standards. 

(No wonder the Captain ignored all those bar girls I set him up with…) 

"Shukutaro. Move." 

A kick to the rear sped him up. 

"Careful with these, Captain! One leak and we're toast!" 

He unsealed a massive scroll, safely storing the poison bombs. 

"This kunoichi is high-value. I'll interrogate her personally. Guard her well." 

"Oh, I get it~" 

Shukutaro's sleazy wink earned him an eye-roll.

Elsewhere, the battle raged on. 

The Suna guards were skilled—but outnumbered two-to-one. 

Uchiha Shun finished first. With a flick of his three-tomoe Sharingan, his Illusionary Sword Technique ended his fight. 

Not to be outdone, Hagane Kotetsu unleashed his Vacuum Blade, decapitating his opponent. 

But Tosaka Raido struggled. Without Fūjin and Raijin and Yamashiro Aoba backing him, his foe might've escaped. 

(Still… he's improved.) 

Umino Yoru observed silently. 

"Big Boss! We obeyed! Where's our reward?" 

Fūjin and Raijin abandoned the fight, drooling. 

Tossing them sugar cubes, Yoru turned back—just as the last Suna nin tried to flee. 

"Dead end." 

Yamashiro Aoba blocked him. 

"Scattering a Thousand Crows Technique!" 

A genjutsu erupted—swarms of crows blinded the enemy. 

Two kunai shot out. The ninja raised an arm in desperation— 

"Secret Technique: Stone Needles!" 

Chakra surged through the attached wires, paralyzing the Suna shinobi instantly. 

Game over.
