Reincarnated In Naruto With Pervert System

Chapter 0070 Soul Songstress

"Bastard…"

Lost in thought, I was suddenly interrupted by a low groan from Pakura beneath me. She seemed to have snapped out of some strange state, gritting her teeth as she spat out, "You… you actually humiliated me like this… I swear, I'll kill you! I'll definitely kill you!"

"Uh, sorry for causing you trouble," I scratched my head, trying to smooth things over. "But, I just kissed your earlobe. Is it really worth getting that angry over?"

Just kissed her earlobe? Don't say it so lightly! She almost lost it! Being put in such a situation by an enemy—a boy who wasn't even ten years old—it was so humiliating that she couldn't even bear to live anymore!

"Damn you! I'm taking you down with me!" Pakura's face twisted in fury, and her lips suddenly parted.

Whoosh.

A fiery red ball began forming in her mouth, rapidly taking shape.

What the—?! Is that a Cero?!

I stared, dumbfounded. What even is this? How is she pulling off this kind of move? This isn't even within the scope of normal ninja abilities!

Actually, it was just another application of her Scorch Release. Using her own blood and chakra, she created a combustive effect, almost like a self-detonation.

Although I was shocked, I wasn't exactly panicked. While her attack was unexpected, it was taking some time to charge. Dodging it wouldn't be too hard.

In a split second, I stood up and shoved Pakura away, leaping back to a safe distance.

Boom!

The fireball exploded mid-air, bursting into a blinding white beam that shot straight up into the sky.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

A powerful shockwave blasted outwards, kicking up a storm of sand and debris.

I raised my arm to shield myself from the swirling sand, squinting at the figure in front of me. Unlike me, who was completely unscathed, Pakura looked rather worse for wear—her hair disheveled, her face smeared with ash. But her eyes still burned with murderous intent.

"Don't look at me like that," I muttered, feeling a bit awkward. I glanced away. "I think we're done for today. That signal flare from your headquarters means we won this battle, right?"

Pakura frowned and glanced to the side. Sure enough, a green signal flare was lighting up the sky, the sign for "retreat."

As much as she hated it, as much as her humiliation burned inside her, Pakura was a ninja bound by duty. Orders from her superiors were absolute. Grinding her teeth in frustration, she snarled, "Don't get cocky! I'll repay today's humiliation a hundredfold!" And with that, she turned and swiftly retreated.

For some reason, as I watched her leave, I noticed something strange about her running posture. Was she injured during the explosion?

...

...

Two days later, at the main camp of the Konoha frontline, a shocking piece of news spread like wildfire through the ranks.

"Ibuki-senpai, is it true? That Soul Songstress is actually one of our Konoha ninjas?"

"Of course! I heard it with my own ears!"

"To think Konoha had someone like that! She stunned the entire Sand ninja headquarters with just a song and a dance!"

"The most incredible thing is, she's not even ten years old! Her courage and presence are something we can only dream of!"

"Yeah, I'd love to see her again. Her dark red yukata, her long blue hair flowing as she danced under the moonlight—that sight will stay with me forever!"

"If I knew who she was, I'd be the first to kneel at her feet and kiss her toes in reverence!"

"You pervert! How can you think such things about a little girl?!"

"I'm not a pervert! I just want to thank my goddess for purifying my filthy soul with her song! Of course, if I could catch a glimpse of her white legs under that yukata, I'd die a happy man!"

"Hey, hey, you're drooling!"

"Sorry, sorry... huh? Why is your nose bleeding?"

"Is it? Maybe I'm just overheated... and no, don't look at me like that! I swear, I didn't have any perverted thoughts about that girl!"

"Heh, you dirty old man."

As I returned to the camp, hearing the chatter around me, I couldn't help but want to hide my face. I never imagined that one day, I'd be fantasized about like some kind of pop idol by grown men! This was absolutely awful. I'm straight—I have zero interest in guys!

Whatever. I'd better check in with my teacher and get some sleep.

With that thought, I hurried my steps, practically racing towards the command tent.

Inside the tent, Tsunade sat at her desk, listening as Nara Shikaku gave his report.

"After a detailed count, we lost seventy-two ninja in this battle. Two elite jonin, five jonin. One hundred eighty-seven were injured, with forty-one suffering critical injuries that leave them permanently unable to fight."

"I see…" Tsunade sighed. "Have the critically injured and the bodies of our fallen comrades been sent back to Konoha?"

"Yes, Lady Tsunade. Everything's been taken care of."

"Good. You may go now."

After Nara Shikaku left, I stepped into the tent. "Tsunade-sensei! I'm back! I'm so sorry—I went to the bathroom and got lost. By the time I came out, you guys had already finished the battle…"
