In other words, Uchiha Ling was completely toying with them at first, and now, with a slight display of her strength, she has trampled all their pride into the mud.
Pakura bit her lower lip, her heart filled with unwillingness and anger, tormenting her with these emotions.
"Lord Ebizo, run! We are already crippled, let us use our lives to hold back this little devil! Run!"
The Sand Village Jonin's readiness to die indeed made Second Body somewhat admire and feel helpless; it seemed she was once again being treated as a villain, when clearly she was on the side of justice.
Ebizo and Pakura exchanged glances, both seeing the shock and a hint of imperceptible fear in each other's eyes, along with a strong desire to retreat.
Watching the Sand Village Jonin scream and charge at her like a suicide attack, Second Body felt that she had been too lenient; she should have broken their spines.
However, with their wrists broken and bleeding, or one leg broken and hopping towards her, Second Body still didn't feel a sense of tragedy, but rather a bit of amusement.
But Second Body was very polite and didn't mock them. She also admired their courage, but unfortunately, those who were fully intact were no match for her, and now that they were all crippled, did they still think they could hold her back?
She directly rewarded them with an Earth Release: Stone Forest Technique, causing pillars of rock to erupt from the ground, completely enclosing them and pinning their bodies, making it difficult to move.
Then, with a hand seal, a simplified Sealing Technique climbed onto their bodies along with the rock pillars, completely locking down their Chakra.
Finally, she looked at Ebizo and Pakura, who had already fled several hundred meters. Ebizo, with his old arms and legs, surprisingly could run so fast.
It seemed that being able to survive from the First Great Shinobi War until now indeed showed some skill; in terms of running, he wasn't slower than young people.
Unfortunately, how could their speed compare to hers? With a Swift Release: Downwind, Second Body arrived within fifty meters behind them.
"Lord Ebizo, Hidden Sand Village cannot be without you. Let me cover your retreat!"
After saying that, Pakura stopped fleeing and instead charged towards Uchiha Ling as if embracing death, the four large fireballs above her head directly merging together.
They formed a super-large fireball, like a small sun, the surrounding space was scorched and distorted, and the trees were shriveled and curled.
"Scorch Release: Excessive Steaming Murder!"
Pakura used her Scorch Release Forbidden Technique, intending to directly eliminate Uchiha Ling, who was approaching. This was an area Ninjutsu, and everything within a hundred-meter radius would be roasted into charcoal.
Second Body watched with interest Pakura's highest power output for Excessive Steaming Murder, but she didn't intend to take this high-damage Ninjutsu head-on.
Although she was very confident in her Wind Release Chakra Mode, Second Body still decided to try absorbing this Scorch Release Ninjutsu with the Six Paths Tools: Vajra Bracelet.
Second Body didn't know if this thing could absorb Bloodline Limit Ninjutsu Chakra, but as a Six Paths Ninja Tool, it shouldn't be that useless.
Previously, when Second Body infused it with Wood Release Chakra and Paper Release Chakra, it absorbed them, so it should be fine. Mere Scorch Release, easily handled.
"Boom~!" The Scorch Release: Fireball above Pakura's head exploded. It wasn't a very loud explosion, but the technique itself didn't rely on explosions for damage.
Instead, it spreads Scorch Release Chakra throughout a hundred-meter radius, and then everything in that area is roasted into charcoal.
Scorch Release is indeed a very cruel Ninjutsu, or rather, there are no Bloodline Limit Ninjutsu that aren't cruel. A flash of bright light passed, and the surrounding hundred meters completely turned into scorched earth.
The trees shriveled, curled, and turned into charcoal, emitting wisps of an unpleasant burnt smell. The ground was blackened, and through the soles of her feet, Second Body could still feel the heat radiating from this land.
However, Second Body did not suffer any harm; the Scorch Release Chakra that rushed towards her was completely absorbed by the Adamantine Bracelet on Second Body's left hand.
This circular scorched earth area, with Second Body at its center, had an un-scorched fan-shaped area behind her, which was still a lush forest.
From an aerial view, one would notice that this place had become a fan-shaped diagram composed of black and green, with the angle of the fan-shaped area behind Second Body being less than thirty degrees.
Some trees on the edge were half black charcoal and the other half still lush, which could be considered a wonder.
"How is this possible! How can my Excessive Steaming Murder have no effect on you at all! I don't believe it! This must be a Genjutsu! It must be an Uchiha Genjutsu!"
Pakura's mind was somewhat exploding. Since her debut, her Scorch Release had never encountered such a situation; anyone facing this technique needed to use Ninjutsu to block it.
But now, this Uchiha Ling simply extended one hand and easily made the Scorch Release Chakra in that direction disappear.
"Hehe, Second Body, it seems your methods have scared this young lady from Hidden Sand Village, but Second Body truly has an endless array of methods!"
Orochimaru emerged from the green forest and entered this scorched earth. He was the first to realize that Second Body seemed to have achieved this effect by using the bracelet on her left hand.
Looking at this bracelet, a hint of greed flashed in Orochimaru's eyes, but it was soon replaced by curiosity. He planned to find an opportunity to trade for it and study it.
Orochimaru wanted to get his hands on anything that could save his life, but facing Second Body, forcibly taking it was impossible. However, he was somewhat confident in trading for it.
"Orochimaru, Ebizo has already run almost two kilometers. Aren't you going to chase him? If you catch him, this war with Hidden Sand Village will be over."
How could Second Body not notice Orochimaru's gaze? But Second Body didn't care; she wasn't afraid of Orochimaru being interested, she was afraid he wouldn't be interested.
"Hehe, I'll leave this Scorch Release Pakura to you, I'm going after Ebizo!"
Orochimaru's legs transformed into snake tails, and he shot out like lightning, completely ignoring Pakura's grim expression.
"Hehe!" Hearing Orochimaru's cold laugh as he passed by, Pakura didn't intend to stop him. With her strength, it was impossible to stop two Kage-level powerhouses; she could only pray that Ebizo ran fast and wouldn't be caught.
She was already helpless against Uchiha Ling, being completely overwhelmed in all aspects. If it weren't for the fact that the opponent hadn't used her full strength, she would probably have been captured already.
"Now, Miss Ye Cang, that was your turn, now it's mine."
Second Body used Body Flicker Technique to approach Pakura, moving so fast that Pakura could only see afterimages. However, her combat instincts still made her quickly condense a Scorch Release: Fireball in front of her chest to block.
Second Body casually swung her sword, and a piercing sword light whistled past, directly splitting the Scorch Release: Fireball in two. Then Second Body passed through the separated Scorch Release: Fireball, getting close to Pakura's face.
Pakura instinctively retreated, but a swarm of purple butterflies seemed to appear before her, and in her daze, she was pierced through the chest by a sword. The sharp pain in her chest brought her back to some consciousness, and she wanted to unleash Scorch Release to explode within her body, aiming for a mutual kill.
