Chapter 0068 Things Are Getting a Little Strange
Boom.
I straddled Pakura's stomach, my right hand gripping her throat, and my left fist slamming into the ground beside her, creating a thunderous explosion.
Hiss.
Another terrifying, gaping hole appeared in Pakura's vision, causing her pupils to contract involuntarily as she gasped. Is this guy even human? He's definitely not human!
I looked down at her from above, my face cold and emotionless. "Consider that punch a return for not ambushing me earlier."
It was true. If Pakura had attacked me with her Scorch Release while following me, instead of stupidly watching me transform, I'd at least be heavily injured by now.
"You damn brat!" Pakura snapped, angered by my condescending gaze. "Are you pitying me?"
"I just don't like owing people," I said, my voice calm as ever.
"That's real winner talk, huh?" Pakura's face twisted with fury. "Do you think you've won?"
In her mind, she must've thought I was mocking her for not seizing the advantage at the right moment.
"I know what you're thinking." I spoke as if I could read her thoughts, my tone flat. "You haven't undone your Scorch Release seal yet. If I free your hands, you could probably launch an attack in an instant, right?" Even before I finished speaking, I tightened my grip, holding down her hands, which were subtly moving.
Damn it!
Pakura gritted her teeth. How can this kid's observation skills be so sharp? He noticed even this tiny movement! What kind of monster am I up against?
Powerless.
For the first time since becoming a ninja, Pakura felt completely overpowered.
If my opponent were a well-known Kage-level figure, I could accept it. But this brat doesn't even look like he's ten years old! This sense of helplessness was mixed with frustration and unwillingness!
"Kill me," Pakura said, regaining her calm after a brief emotional wave.
"After seeing what you saw, I wasn't planning on letting you live." My voice was cold as I moved to pin down both her wrists with one hand, freeing my other to deliver the finishing blow. I never intended to show mercy to an enemy.
But this move wasn't as easy as I'd expected—I overestimated my arm length!
Pakura, after all, was an adult, and even though she was a woman, her arms were at least a third longer than mine. If I had pressed down both her hands from the start, it would've been fine. But trying to switch to holding both with one hand while still sitting on her stomach wasn't possible.
So, to make it easier, I shifted up, sliding closer to her upper body, finally managing to pin her hands perfectly.
But then something felt... off. Beneath me, my backside suddenly felt soft, like I was sitting on two clouds of cotton. Reflexively, I reached out and squeezed.
My entire body stiffened.
So soft! So... big!
That was my first reaction.
And it was true. Compared to Konan's still-developing body, Pakura was clearly much more mature. The soft, plush feeling made me lose focus for a moment.
Stunned.
Pakura's cheeks flushed red, her eyes filled with a mix of anger and embarrassment. This brat! He... he dared to touch me there! Unforgivable! This... this is absolutely unforgivable!
...
"Get off me!" Pakura screamed, her attitude suddenly changing from resigned to fiercely struggling.
She was a ninja, but also a woman.
No woman—except for those shameless ones—could remain indifferent in such a situation. Unless the person was someone deeply ingrained in her heart. But the relationship between Pakura and me was far from that.
No, we weren't even close. We were enemies. Being touched in such a forbidden area by an enemy, how could someone like Pakura, hailed as a hero by the Sand, tolerate that?
In my daze, she managed to free one of her hands. But I quickly snapped out of it, retreating back to her stomach and pinning her down again. "Sorry, that wasn't intentional." My face flushed with embarrassment, so different from the cold, ruthless boy I was moments ago.
Of course, after doing something like that, how could I stay cold? Even if she was my enemy, I had no habit of humiliating others.
"You'd better kill me right now!" Pakura glared at me coldly. "If you don't, I'll find a way to kill you. I swear!"
[New options generated!]
[Host, choose one of the following options:]
[-> Option one: Kiss her earlobe to calm her rage.]
[-> Option two: Ignore her and continue what you were doing. Massage her boobs and suck on her nipples.]
[-> Option three: Take out your Dick and urinate on her face.]
[Note: Penalty???]
What the hell?!
I mentally flipped off the useless system that gave me these ridiculous options.
This was already a tricky enough situation, and now this stupid system is making it worse? What started as a life-or-death, intense battle has taken a completely bizarre turn! Is this some kind of alternate reality storyline?!
