Chapter 152: Cursed Seal State Two, Another Battle with Pakura
The reason Kyosuke had suddenly taken flight was, of course, thanks to his cursed seal.
After his level had increased, he could now fully withstand the erosion of the State Two cursed seal. As for his transformation, besides the darkening of his skin color, the only other change was the pair of wings that had sprouted from his back.
Perhaps because he had directly obtained the ability through the system, when he first activated the State Two cursed seal, he could freely adjust his "appearance" according to his will.
At first, Kyosuke had hesitated between the "defensive form" and the "flying form," but in the end, he had chosen flight over defense.
He was no longer the weakling who was chased by everyone, so the cost-effectiveness of flying should be higher than defense. Although powerful defensive means were also very rare, the application scenarios for flying were ultimately a bit broader.
For example, now. If he had chosen the "defensive form" before, even if he could have safely taken that hit, he probably wouldn't have been completely unscathed. How could he be as carefree as he was now, flying in the sky and looking at the enemy's resentful face?
Feeling the surging chakra in his body, Kyosuke took a deep breath, and then his hands suddenly clasped together.
Instantly, a piercing cry appeared above Pakura's head.
But unlike before, this time, the lightning, perhaps due to the influence of the cursed seal, was an ominous black.
Deathly silence, slaughter, terror—just a single glance, and these different adjectives appeared in Pakura's mind.
She knew that the decisive moment of this battle was coming.
Feeling the little chakra left in her body, Pakura steeled her heart and gathered it all in her hands.
"Wind Release: Blade of Wind."
She used this powerful Wind Release jutsu again. Listening to the constant buzzing sound it made, Pakura's mood couldn't help but calm down.
"Come on! Let's see who can survive this!!!"
"Hahaha, alright! Let's settle this, Pakura!!!"
Kyosuke looked at Pakura's resolute eyes and, while laughing loudly, the black lightning in his hands, which was dancing wildly, grew a few shades darker.
"Take this."
"Forbidden Jutsu: Wailing Chidori."
With a slight movement of his wings, Kyosuke's entire body charged at the Pakura on the ground at an incredible speed.
At the same time, Pakura also swung the Blade of Wind in her hand with all her might, slashing at the Kyosuke in the air.
The moment their attacks made contact, the entire battlefield seemed to fall silent for a moment. Then, a fierce shockwave erupted from the two of them, rampaging in all directions.
Helpless, the warring parties could only temporarily stop their fighting and quietly wait for the impact to end.
Of course, at this time, many ninja were also silently preparing. Once the result of the two's clash was decided, no matter who won or lost, they would probably all rush forward.
If their own side won, that would be great. But if their own side lost, they could also take this opportunity to kill the winner. The ninja on both sides had the same idea.
At this time, the clash between Kyosuke and the other was still continuing.
Seeing that he couldn't break through Pakura's ninjutsu right away, Kyosuke seized an opportunity and directly released a genjutsu attack on her.
"Genjutsu: Sharingan."
The unskillful genjutsu attack only controlled her for a moment before she broke free.
But Kyosuke's powerful perception allowed him to seize this fleeting opportunity.
The Wailing Chidori in his hand, taking advantage of the moment the enemy's strength weakened, slightly shifted its attack angle, causing the Blade of Wind to graze past his right arm and slash at the wings behind him. And the black lightning in his left hand thus pierced Pakura's chest without any hindrance.
Sizzle, sizzle. The powerful Wailing Chidori was still crying out wildly, with no signs of weakening. This also stopped the Sand ninja's intention of coming to pick up the pieces.
"Wah!" Pakura looked down at the arm that had pierced her chest, a look of disbelief flashing across her face. She then threw her head back and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Feeling Pakura's gradually weakening breath, Kyosuke finally dispelled the black lightning in his hand and also broke free from the cursed seal state.
Rip! He forcefully pulled his hand out of the enemy's chest, and Kyosuke couldn't help but look at the dying Pakura with a complicated expression.
Of course, Kyosuke was not lamenting anything. It was that through the proof of this battle, he had truly entered the ranks of the ninja world's powerhouses, so for a moment, his emotions were a bit difficult to calm down.
"This is just the beginning," Kyosuke muttered to himself, then turned to look at the many panicked enemies before him.
"Ooh, ooh, ooh!!!" The Konoha people who had reacted finally let out a thunderous cheer.
It wasn't surprising that they would do so. Who was the Sand's Pakura? And now, she had unexpectedly died at Kyosuke's hands. How could this not make people excited?
These cheers were the last straw that broke the Sand ninja's spirit.
Seeing the enemy begin to flee, Kyosuke waved his arm slightly, and countless Konoha ninja charged at the enemy, who had already lost their will to fight.
However, Hyuga Saori and the other three chose to stay behind. After all, Kyosuke's condition did not look so good. They couldn't just leave him here to kill the enemy.
After Saori came over, she kicked Pakura's corpse over with her foot and said with a sigh of admiration, "Although I knew your strength was growing rapidly, but... this is really surprising."
Kyosuke, hearing this, smiled with restraint. "It's nothing. Don't be too ostenatious. It's not good."
"Tsk." Saori ignored his boasting and walked around behind him. She then poked his back with her finger and asked, "Your wings were cut off. Will they grow back?"
"...They will," Kyosuke said, his emotions a bit disjointed by Saori's unexpected question. So, he could only sigh and answer her question.
"Sigh, what a pity. The wings that were cut off after you exited the cursed seal state also disappeared. Otherwise, I could have picked them up as a strange collection," Hyuga Saori sighed with regret.
Kyosuke: "..."
Thirteen: "...Please don't say such scary things."
Seven: "...It's too dangerous to leave her with the master. It's probably better to just kill her."
Hyuga Saori: "...Seven, you can actually make a sarcastic remark. Not bad, you've improved."
The four of them thus "chatted and laughed" as they waited for the return of the people of Konoha.
At the same time, the news of Uchiha Kyosuke's victory over Pakura had also spread from the mouths of the Sand ninja who had been lucky enough to escape.
In an instant, the entire southwestern battlefield was in an uproar.
Regardless of their thoughts, everyone was clear on one thing.
That was that Uchiha Kyosuke had risen at a speed that no one had anticipated.
