Pakura was about to turn and leave when she noticed an eyeball staring intently at her.
Goosebumps instantly erupted all over Pakura's body.
This was an eyeball! It was too creepy!
Just as Pakura was about to destroy the eyeball, it began to sway wildly.
Although it swayed, it didn't leave, as if trying to get her attention.
Pakura's body suddenly jolted; she thought of a Ninjutsu that almost all Magnet Release Ninja in the Hidden Sand Village knew.
The Third Eye!
Could it be that a Magnet Release Ninja from the Hidden Sand Village was signaling her?
But this eyeball was swaying without any pattern.
"You are an eye generated by our Village's Magnet Release Ninja's Ninjutsu, right?"
"Are you trying to tell me something?"
"I can't understand anything when you sway like this!"
...
On the other side, Kuto was speechless because of Pakura.
"Why has Pakura become so stupid? That's just an eyeball, it can't hear sounds. What is she talking about?!"
Kuto controlled the Third Eye to float in front of Pakura, then stopped and swayed at Pakura again.
Pakura seemed to understand a little: "You want me to follow you, right?"
Kuto also got anxious because of Pakura: "This idiot, what is she muttering about? Come on, it's so obvious!"
Seeing Pakura take a few steps towards the eyeball, Kuto immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "This idiot finally understood."
"Kakashi, Obito, Rin, wait for me here. I'm nearby. I'll be right back. Just wait for me for a bit."
Kuto pressed his left eye and hurried forward.
Kuto had barely walked two steps when Obito excitedly shook Kakashi: "Quick! Let's act quickly!"
Kakashi looked at Obito in confusion: "Stop! Don't shake me. What are we acting on? Isn't this Kuto's action?"
Obito asked mysteriously: "Kakashi, don't you want to know what Kuto and that Pakura will say?"
Rin Nohara was still a bit worried: "What if..."
Obito gave Rin Nohara no chance at all: "Rin, don't you want to see what that Pakura looks like?"
Rin Nohara was instantly choked: "Uh..."
She did! Of course, she did! And she really, really wanted to!
Obito urged Kakashi: "Hurry, Kakashi, we'll lose them if we don't hurry!"
Kakashi also made up his mind immediately: "We must hide our presence well and not expose ourselves! Let's go! Let's follow and see!"
Obito, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara quietly followed Kuto.
...
Pakura followed the eyeball's guidance and walked forward.
But now Pakura was also on guard.
Because... the Magnet Release Ninja who used the Third Eye to lead her here might not be an ally.
Over the past month, Pakura had also heard that on another battlefield, the rogue Magnet Release Ninja from the Hidden Sand Village had killed many Hidden Sand Village Ninja.
So Pakura's right hand remained in her Ninjutsu bag, ready to attack at any moment.
Suddenly.
The eyeball turned into Sand Iron and fell to the ground.
A familiar voice rang out.
"Long time no see, Pakura."
Kuto appeared from behind the tree and looked at Pakura not far away.
Pakura was stunned on the spot the moment she saw Kuto.
Kuto smiled and said to Pakura: "It's only been a little over a year since we last met. You wouldn't not recognize me, would you? Then our relationship would be too shallow, wouldn't it?"
Pakura, having regained her senses, saw Kuto's eyes turn red, and she choked out: "When I returned to the Village, I found you gone, and I thought you were dead. What's wrong with you, kid? Why did you disappear without a word? Do you know how worried I was about you! The letter Shinobi Hawk sent me was also inexplicable, saying you were on a special mission. You should have been clearer!"
Obito, hearing the conversation between Kuto and Pakura, exclaimed: "Wow~ I told you their relationship wasn't ordinary!"
Kakashi asked strangely: "Not ordinary? How do I feel it's just like Kuto said before, Pakura treats Kuto like a younger brother, it's a sister's concern for her brother."
Rin Nohara agreed: "I feel the same way. It seems the friendship between Kuto and this Pakura is indeed very pure. However, this Pakura is so beautiful."
Obito objected: "Kakashi, Rin, you don't understand. Only people like me are qualified to speak. Next up is a touching reunion."
Pakura took a step and ran towards Kuto.
But Pakura suddenly stopped, looking at Kuto's forehead in disbelief: "A Konoha headband? The traitor from the Hidden Sand Village is you? How could it be you? Aren't you most afraid of fighting? Tell me, Kuto, this isn't true, is it?"
Kuto sighed: "Pakura, it's true, but I didn't betray the Hidden Sand Village; the Hidden Sand Village betrayed me..."
Seeing Pakura already crying and pulling out a Kunai, ready to attack him, Kuto hurriedly said: "Can't you just wait and let me finish?"
Pakura said with a pained expression: "I don't want to, but... you've already killed many comrades, Kuto. I can't let you continue to make mistakes! I won't kill you, but I will break your hands and feet and bring you back to the Village. I will plead for you, begging Kazekage-sama to spare your life."
Kuto pressed his throbbing forehead and said to Pakura sternly: "Pakura, you should know what kind of person I am. You know I'm afraid of fighting, and even hid my strength because of it, unwilling to go out. Do you think I would leave the Hidden Sand Village for no reason, just to join Konoha and help Konoha lure out Uncle Kaito so they can kill Uncle Kaito?
Although Uncle Kaito was just average to me, at least he gave me a place to live and didn't let me starve. Do you really see me as that kind of ungrateful person who backstabs comrades?
If that's the case, why would I take such a big risk to see you? I could have just lured you here, set up a trap, ambushed, and killed you, couldn't I?
So, I hope you can listen to my explanation. It's not too late to make your decision after hearing my explanation, is it?"
Pakura stopped her movements, remained silent for a while, then wiped her tears with her sleeve, and looked at Kuto with red eyes, saying: "Speak."
Kuto breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Pakura was willing to listen to his explanation.
What Kuto feared was that Pakura, who was now very devoted to the Hidden Sand Village, would attack him directly without listening to his explanation.
Kuto said to Pakura: "In the letter I had Shinobi Hawk deliver to you, it said I was going to carry out a special secret mission. You should have heard at that time that the Hidden Sand Village was going to trade a Magnet Release Bloodline Limit Ninja with Iwagakure, and that Magnet Release Bloodline Limit Ninja was me."
Pakura's eyes widened, her expression extremely shocked. In fact, Pakura had suspected at the time whether that person was Kuto, after all, Kuto had also disappeared during that period. She never thought it was really Kuto.
