Double-transformation: I, Sakura Haruno! Will crush the pirates!

Damn it, I'm not trying to argue with you, but you have a grudge against someone and a debt to settle. Why don't you go find him?

As they rapidly closed in, the black-clad ninja raised the black barrel of the gun with both hands, his fingers trembling as he placed it on the trigger and pulled hard.

boom--! !

The gunshot, though not deafening, echoed through the pitch-black sky, but in stark contrast was the metallic clanging that followed.

A deformed bullet was embedded in the center of the girl's raised palm.

The Walker-type revolver, crafted by weapons artisans in Wano Country, is a large-caliber pistol favored by various large organizations such as the World Government, the Navy, and the Mafia. Its power is so great that it can even penetrate a specially made seastone target and create a dent three to four centimeters deep.

But now the bullets it fired were blocked by someone's palm, and not even a red mark was left on the other person.

Considering the Kazekage's previous act of using kunai to "scrape" the wounds, four words popped into the minds of many Orochi Oniwabanshu fighters—

"Invulnerable to swords and spears?"

Wearing goggles and a mask, Lei Ren muttered in a daze, his voice so faint it seemed to be squeezed out of his lungs.

"Well, not necessarily. Maybe the gun held back and slashed me with the back of the knife instead." Sakura shook her hand, throwing the bullet in her palm to the ground.

"How can a bullet have the back of a blade!" Thunderblade roared from beneath his mask. "Fire! Fire! Concentrate your firepower and kill her!"

Many of the Oniwabanshu ninjas immediately raised their hands and fired, firing wildly without regard for the recoil.

Chaotic gunfire rang out continuously, sparks flew, and bullets burst through the rifling, tearing through the air and flying toward the girl's body.

"Xiaoyu, watch closely, I'm going to teach you some ninja tactics!"

Sakura patted Tama's leg and casually picked up a kunai thrown by Orochi from the ground. "Ninja Tactics Tip #1: Taijutsu!"

Her pink hair swayed in the wind, her emerald pupils were slightly unfocused as if they were not focused, and she lowered her body and swung her waist to slash at the kunai with violent force.

The blade tip left a white mark as it sliced ​​through the crescent moon, and a series of fine sparks burst into the air. Straight bullets, cut straight through, flew everywhere, and many ninjas were affected, with bloody holes appearing on their bodies.

"That's so cool!"

Riding on Sakura's neck, Tama held her head with both hands, her eyes wide open, experiencing the scene of bullets being sliced ​​open in front of her from a first-person perspective.

Although she couldn't see the trajectory of the bullet, the boss's waving arms and the occasional sparks made her heart pound, and her face flushed.

"It's no use. I've heard legends about the Guardian Kings. Those powerful beings are not afraid of guns and cannons!"

Raising his twin wakizashi, another member of the Orochi Oniwabanshu, Kazejin, condensed his aura to its limit and unleashed two flying slashes.

"Oh dear, danger!"

An invisible wind blade roared out, but Sakura casually deflected it with her kunai, and it bounced back into the sky, exploding into a dazzling firework.

"Such powerful Ryuo...monster!"

Wind Blade saw the attack clearly. His flying slash didn't even touch the kunai's blade before being deflected by the domineering armor covering it.

Gradually realizing that something was wrong, he turned around and said to Lei Ren, "Find a way to inform Lord Orochi. This guy is beyond our capabilities. We're probably going to die here today!"

Lei Ren nodded after hearing this, took out a signal flare from his pocket, and fired it into the sky.

"Have you finished your work? Can we continue our lesson now?" The girl's playful voice was like a feather, gently tickling everyone's hearts.

She walked very slowly, almost as if taking a stroll, weaving through the hail of bullets, shifting her weight sideways or moving sideways with her head down, easily reaching the wind blades and lightning blades.

"you..."

Lei Ren and Feng Ren looked horrified. Their Observation Haki had already triggered their instinctive reaction, causing them to raise their weapons to protect their vitals.

Sakura, seemingly oblivious to their actions, continued explaining to Tama: "Next is the second part of ninja tactics: Genjutsu!"

The moment the sound hit the ground, Wind Blade and Lightning Blade tried to retreat, but...

puff!

Their bodies seemed to shatter into pieces the instant they moved; their limbs were severed, their vision began to spin as they were pulled by gravity, and they were slammed heavily to the ground.

"Ho-!"

The suffocating sensation caused by forgetting to breathe for so long pulled the two back from the darkness of death. They hurriedly looked down at their bodies, as if the severed bodies were just an illusion.

"Did I just...?" "Yes, I saw it too!"

Before Lei Ren could even ask his question, Feng Ren, whose domineering aura and swordsmanship were even stronger, had already answered him with an affirmative tone.

That was killing intent. The opponent didn't even launch any attack; just by slightly shifting their center of gravity and using that killing intent, they made their Observation Haki create the illusion that they were being killed.

"Damn it, what kind of illusion is this?!"

Chapter 346 Gathering in Wano Country

"Boss, boss!"

A girl's childish voice came from Xiaoying's shoulder, "This illusion doesn't seem very powerful!"

Unaffected by the aura, Xiaoyu asked an innocent question, which caused the girl's momentum to dissipate.

Actually, it's not entirely Sakura's fault that she doesn't have any decent illusions. Since the earliest recorded version updates, high-level illusions have always relied on plugins.

No matter how good your skills are, they can't compare to the useful plugins that "Board Guy" carries around.

Not to mention that they are currently living in a world where everyone is self-centered, and illusions without plugins are not even worth as much as those on the roadside, not even worthy of being served at a table.

"Forget it, this thing is too difficult to practice with, let's not touch it!"

Sakura sighed and shook her head. "Let's skip the genjutsu tutorial and go straight to the last section: Ninja Tactics Tips Part 3 - Ninjutsu!"

The moment the words "ninjutsu" appeared, a chilling atmosphere spread.

"coming soon!"

Wind Blade and Lightning Blade drew their weapons and charged towards Sakura, their bodies hardened with Armament Haki.

The Kazekage's mysterious and tragic death was still fresh in their minds, so the two of them did their best to protect themselves when they attacked Sakura.

A frenzied and dense barrage of shuriken rained down, a chaotic mix of flying slashes and swirling strikes.

"Wooden Release: Wooden Man's Technique!"

Under Xiaoyu's envious gaze, Xiaoying raised her fingers to form a hand seal.

Wood Release chakra penetrates deep into the earth, even creating seeds out of nothing. The seeds quickly take root and sprout, vines push through the earth, expand and take shape in a very short time, and finally transform into a huge figure standing on the earth.

The powerful shuriken and the flying slash simultaneously pierced the massive wooden figure's body, and then... that was it.

"..." Wind Blade and Lightning Blade fell silent.

They tolerated the previous behavior of mistaking swordsmanship and killing intent for ninja techniques, at most cursing the barbarians from the outer seas for not recognizing the essence of their Honshu ninja culture.

But this is going too far.

To declare sorcery as ninjutsu in front of two ninjas? This is an insult to their ninja code of conduct, and it is absolutely intolerable.

If this guy were a ninja, the two of them would have eaten this wooden doll on the spot!

"Hey, Thunderblade, can you still hurt him?"

At this moment, Wind Blade had already begun to have the will to die. No matter what, he could not let the person in front of him do whatever he wanted, otherwise his ninja way would cry!

"Of course, I suppose you're thinking the same thing as me!"

Lei Ren nodded and lit the drum behind him, the flames gradually spreading to his entire body.

Driven by their unwavering determination, the two men's domineering auras burned fiercely, transforming into two streaks of light that hurtled towards Sakura's wooden dummy.

"You idiot, take this!" *2

—Combined Ninja Art: Wind and Thunder Dance!

A crimson gale suddenly arose, raging and swirling across this narrow space.

The fine, rapid slashes instantly covered every inch of air, leaving the lush green plants in disarray.

"Ah!"

Sakura, perched atop the wooden figure, let out a soft laugh.

The enormous wooden figure spread its arms and opened its palms, then the colossal object tore through the air and roared as it closed towards the center.

The streaks of light formed by the wind blades and lightning blades flew into the air and were suddenly struck by the clasped hands of the wooden figure.

Snapped--!

A huge shockwave emanated from the wooden figure's palm, and the two figures, once spread out, plummeted from a height of over thirty meters like mosquitoes that had been swatted.

"Clean up the rest of the small fry!"

Sakura gave the wooden golem an order, and the golem, imbued with Sage Chakra and possessing a certain degree of self-awareness, began to spontaneously hunt down other ninjas.

She then jumped down from the top of the wooden dummy with Jade, landing beside Ace and the villagers to join them.

"Have enough fun?"

The freckled boy, who was resting against the ruins with a knife on his shoulder, heard the noise and glanced at the two of them.

Sakura covered her eyes with her hands, feigning sadness, and said, "How could you say that? I was just introducing the profoundness of ninjutsu to your future junior sister."

"Junior Sister?" Ace opened his eyes wide in surprise. "You're planning to bring her on board?"

"What are you thinking? She's only four years old. She should at least wait until she's six to go out to sea!"

The girl stared at Ace with a surprised look, her face full of "You're such a weirdo" expressions.

"What kind of weird standard is that... never mind."

Ace was speechless at this quirky older sister. "If you don't want to take her out to sea, how can you make her my junior sister?"

“This child seems quite smart. I’ll teach her for a while, and then let her learn the rest on her own.”

Sakura took out a ninjutsu scroll from her bosom and handed it to Tama, saying, "Tama, would you like to be my disciple?"

"Yes! Of course I'm willing to become Big Sister's disciple, de-yansu!"

Upon hearing her words, Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and without the slightest hesitation, she hugged the scroll to her chest, hiding it close to her body as if it were a priceless treasure.

"Alright, grit your teeth and prepare to embark on the path of a ninja!"

Sakura spoke gently, raising her hand and placing it lightly on Tama's head.

What the heck? Why are you clenching your teeth?

The girl, who was overjoyed to have obtained the scroll, froze, a bad premonition rising in her heart.

The next moment, the power of chakra surged into Sakura's body from her arm, connecting her spiritual and physical energy to implant the chakra seed.

Pain coursed through the girl's body, and a powerful scream echoed through the air:

"Ouch, that hurts!!!"

.

.

Meanwhile, inside the Flower Capital Heavenly Hunting Pavilion.

After the wind blades and lightning blades signaled the mission's failure, the Oniwabanshu ninjas on lookout duty immediately relayed the message to the shogun of Wano Country.

"What did you say?!" Orochi's scream echoed throughout the entire Heavenly Hunting Pavilion once again. "Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"

A gigantic mythical beast with eight heads rampaged through the room, smashing exquisite porcelain, valuable screens, and elegant paintings out of the room.

"grown ups."

After he vented his anger, killing the ninja who had just come in to deliver the message, Fukurokuju finally arrived late.

"Fortune! Prosperity! Longevity! Didn't you tell me you could deal with those outsiders?!"

The eight-headed serpent with dark green scales twisted its body, its sixteen scarlet eyes fixed on the ninja in front of it, its killing intent boiling.

"I'm very sorry about this, but I also have some good news for you!"

Fu Lu Shou hurriedly knelt on one knee, took out a mirror as tall as a person from his bosom, and pushed it in front of the giant snake.

"Asshole, are you humiliating me?"

Seeing the large dressing mirror with pink lace trim, the serpent's anger intensified.

But the next moment, the voice coming from the mirror brought the giant snake back to its senses.

"Ugh, still so useless, Great Serpent!"
