Chapter 132: Instructions
Pakura looked at the Scroll in her hand, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
Pakura looked up at Kamishiro in front of her with a very complicated look in her eyes. "Kamishiro, I hope you're not lying to me. I really... don't want you to be using me, and I don't want us to become enemies."
Kamishiro raised his arm and wiped the tears from Pakura, who was a head taller than him. "Of course I don't want to be your enemy. You're all grown up, yet still crying. Be more careful in everything. Don't be so naive and trust everyone. What if I really turn bad? If I set up a few Booby Traps here, you'd be done for."
"If you confirm what I said is true, don't be so stupid as to go and question them about why they did it. You're just a ninja, no matter how famous you are now, you still just have no authority."
"If Rasa, Chiyo and the others want to get you, you have absolutely no way to stop them. Just like me, I had no way. If it weren't for my quick wits, I might have been dead by now."
Pakura sniffled and said discontentedly, "You little brat, don't act like an adult! I'm your elder sister!"
Kamishiro curled his lips. "Pfft, elder sister? You're just a bit older than me. Other than that, I'm much more mature than you. In my eyes, you're no different from a little kid. You're incredibly naive."
Pakura gave Kamishiro a hard slap on the head. "You're the one who's incredibly naive! Ah, that felt great! This feeling is so familiar!"
Kamishiro covered his head and glared at Pakura angrily.
Seeing Kamishiro puffing his cheeks like a hamster, Pakura burst out laughing.
The sense of strangeness gradually faded away, and the familiar feeling returned.
Kamishiro grumbled, "What's so funny?"
"Alright, alright, I won't laugh anymore." Pakura took a few deep breaths to calm down her laughter, then asked, "How have you been? Did those Konoha ninjas bully you?"
Kamishiro shook his head. "Bully me? No, they've been very nice to me. They treat me as a companion. They didn't bully me or discriminate against me because I was a ninja from Sunagakure Village before. It's just that I can no longer live a comfortable life staying at home all day, which makes me a bit distressed."
Pakura said helplessly, "You know, I used to tell you to go out more often. But I'm relieved to hear that you're doing well. It seems that the Konoha ninjas are at least decent people."
Obito, Kakashi and Rin, who were eavesdropping, looked embarrassed.
What the heck does "at least decent people" mean?
Can't she see that they've made Kamishiro so well - fed and healthy?
At the beginning, Kamishiro was so skinny that they thought he had been mistreated in Sunagakure Village.
Kamishiro asked, "By the way, do you still have the Scroll I gave you back then?"
Pakura nodded and took it out of her ninja tools pouch. "Yeah, I've been carrying it all the time."
"Give it to me. I'll upgrade it."
Kamishiro took the Scroll from Pakura's hand and then summoned the contents of the Scroll.
It was a black ball the size of a watermelon.
The moment it was summoned, the ball tried to transform. Kamishiro immediately pressed a button, causing the ball to stop transforming.
Pakura asked curiously, "So, what is this thing?"
While disassembling the ball, Kamishiro explained, "It's something that can save your life. This ball is filled with Poison Senbon and Iron Sand. The driving device inside can make the Iron Sand carry you and let you have Flight for a short distance. It will automatically activate as soon as it's summoned. That's why I specifically warned you in the letter I gave you before not to summon it unless it's absolutely necessary."
After disassembling the ball, Kamishiro summoned several small Missiles using the Lightning Blade Summoning Technique and modified the ball.
Hearing what Kamishiro said about it being for saving her life, Pakura was really touched, but still stubbornly said, "I'm Pakura, the user of Scorch Release. Do I need this little thing to save my life?"
"Come on, give me a break. When danger comes, no one cares if you're Pakura or not. Even if you scream to the sky, it won't help. Alright."
The ball modified by Kamishiro doubled in size.
Kamishiro resealed the ball into the Scroll and handed it to Pakura. "Like I said, don't use it unless it's absolutely necessary."
Pakura muttered, "I don't need this crap at all!"
However, Pakura still obediently took the Scroll from Kamishiro and put it into her ninja tools pouch.
Kamishiro warned again, "If you confirm what I said is true, don't do anything extra. Obey the orders. Pretend nothing happened. Just keep it in mind and be more careful.
Even though I was betrayed by the village, I'm a Konoha ninja now. We're on opposite sides. Don't try to speak up for me. It'll only make your life in Sunagakure Village more difficult.
We'll deal with future things later. Maybe... maybe after the war, Sunagakure Village and Konoha might restore their alliance. You might even come to Konoha to see me."
Pakura gently hugged Kamishiro and rested her chin on his head.
Pakura was very sad. She had no other relatives and regarded Kamishiro as her little brother.
But now... because of the war, she and Kamishiro were on opposite sides.
Pakura said softly, "Take care of yourself, Kamishiro."
Kamishiro didn't say a word because he felt really awkward now.
Why was he feeling awkward?
Pakura was now a head taller than him. So when Pakura hugged him, his head was buried in her chest.
"Tsk, I remember it used to be quite flat..."
Pakura was a bit confused when she heard Kamishiro's murmur. But when she heard what he murmured next, her face instantly flushed red.
"What have you been eating? You've developed so well after not seeing you for over a year!"
Kamishiro even shamelessly rubbed himself against her.
Pakura's face turned from red to purple, and her chest heaved with anger.
This made Kamishiro exclaim that he couldn't stand it.
"Die!"
Pakura suddenly raised her head and then quickly lowered it. She forcefully banged her chin on Kamishiro's head.
"Ouch..."
Kamishiro and Pakura both gasped in pain at the same time.
Obito and the other two who were peeping also wrinkled their faces at the same time. It looked so painful!
Both Kamishiro and Pakura took several steps back. One covered his head while the other covered her chin, with tears streaming from the corners of their eyes due to the pain.
Kamishiro rubbed his head forcefully. "Hey, what are you doing?!"
Pakura also rubbed her chin desperately. "You've really gone bad since you went to Konoha! You've become a little pervert!"
Kamishiro retorted, "Who's a little pervert! Everyone knows I, Kamishiro, am the most upright person!"
Pakura gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and said in shame and anger, "You... just now... you groped my chest!"
Kamishiro rolled his eyes. "Bullshit groping! If anyone groped, it was you who groped me first. Didn't you hug me voluntarily? You can't play the victim like this!"
Kamishiro's shameless words stunned Pakura and Obito's group.
