In the pitch-black space, Satori Hyūga placed his palm on Pakura's head. A strange ripple sent a chill through her body and made her dizzy.
Pakura forced herself to stay composed, glaring furiously at Satori. "What are you doing?"
Satori finished scanning her memories and smirked. "Extracting information. Lucky for you, my technique is good—I don't need to resort to torture."
"Alright, I've already gotten what I needed. Now I wonder… what should I do with you?" Satori said, gazing at Pakura as if contemplating whether to kill or spare her.
Pakura stiffened slightly, a flicker of fear flashing in her eyes.
But she quickly regained her composure, staring daggers at him. "You're just bluffing. If you wanted me dead, you'd have done it already."
"You brought me here for something, right? But I'll never betray Sunagakure!"
As a Bloodline Limit wielder, Pakura was well aware of her own value.
She assumed the reason he hadn't killed her yet was because of her Bloodline Limit.
A warrior with a Bloodline Limit could far surpass ordinary ninja in strength, making them far more valuable.
Yet despite years of service in Sunagakure, Pakura remained loyal to the village and would never even consider betrayal.
The fierce conviction in her mind surged forward, instantly picked up by Satori's Tenseigan.
A strange expression crossed Satori's face before his tone turned cold.
"So you have a strong will… Even with your life on the line, you still refuse to betray your village?"
Pakura replied firmly, "I won't. Just end it now."
She would never yield to an enemy.
"I see," Satori nodded slowly, almost impressed by her resolve.
"In that case, I guess the only thing left is to take you back with me—to give birth to my children and raise warriors for the next generation."
He said this while eyeing her like prey, grinning mischievously.
Pakura: ?!?
"What?! You're not going to kill me—you want me to have kids with you?" she spat out in disbelief.
At the mere thought, she flushed deeply, heat rising in her chest. She'd rather die.
Despite being a kunoichi, she'd never even considered having children.
After all, most shinobi didn't survive long enough to consider starting a family.
Having kids would mean... being with him intimately...
The very idea made her blush fiercely.
"Hahaha, look how scared you are. Such dirty thoughts," Satori laughed mockingly.
"Damn you, you bastard!" Pakura hissed, baring her fangs as she lunged to bite him.
At that moment, however, Satori raised an eyebrow and locked eyes with her.
"You really do have the Third Kazekage looking after you. Not long after I took you, he arrived with his men."
With his Tenseigan, Satori peered beyond the space, directly seeing the scene inside the room.
The Third Kazekage had pitch-black skin, spiky black hair, wore a long black robe, and radiated quiet authority.
Faced with residual chakra disturbances in the room, the legendary "Strongest Kazekage in History" was livid, immediately ordering the Anbu to track down the culprit.
The translation edited according to the expert suggestions is:
No matter from his aura or demeanor, the Third Kazekage indeed possessed overwhelming Kage-class power.
It was just a pity that such a Kage-level powerhouse would be betrayed and poisoned by his own apprentice, Sasori of the Red Sand.
This also indirectly reflected the fragility inherent in being a ninja. Strength didn't always guarantee survival—a Kage-class ninja could still die if assassinated.
"Third Kazekage is coming? Then why don't you release me quickly, or else Lord Third Kazekage will capture and kill you," Pakura straightened her back, as if regaining confidence.
The young Pakura, full of energy and cheerfulness on her face, looked at Satori Hyūga with playful eyes.
Satori gently pinched her cheek and chuckled, "I'm not scared at all. Your Sunagakure doesn't have [Space-Time Ninjutsu]. You can't even find us."
"Besides, this world I forged using [Space-Time Ninjutsu] isn't something ordinary people can enter. No one can detect it either."
"If you don't believe me, try calling for help. I guarantee no one will come save you even if you scream yourself hoarse."
Pakura puffed her cheeks angrily, glaring at Satori. Partly annoyed because he kept touching her, partly frustrated since what Satori said was true.
Sunagakure was barren and warlike, where various ninja clans fought nonstop over resources and water sources.
Scorching, relentless wars often led to the destruction of knowledge and civilization.
Although the Kazekage had restrained internal conflicts within certain limits, it had already caused irreversible damage—destroying untold amounts of knowledge along the way.
Take [Space-Time Ninjutsu] as an example. Although other villages might not be particularly strong in this area, they at least had one or two experts who understood it.
But in Sunagakure, there probably weren't even many ninja who had clearly heard of [Space-Time Ninjutsu] before.
At this moment, Pakura began to take Satori seriously and grew curious about his origins.
Which hidden force in the ninja world had produced such a powerful ninja possessing [Space-Time Ninjutsu]?
He had utterly defeated her through both Taijutsu and Ninjutsu.
Looking carefully, his handsome face was quite appealing—the features were delicate yet striking, as if sculpted by an artist's hand.
Especially those eye-catching black pupils, jet-black eyes as still and deep as a bottomless abyss, almost absorbing her consciousness upon a single glance.
Just by looking, Pakura judged that Satori must be another Bloodline Limit user, possessing a legendary Dojutsu.
"Where are you from? Are you someone from a hidden minor clan in the ninja world?" she asked.
Shaking his head, Satori replied, "Don't try to trick me into talking. I won't tell you easily."
"It's not like I absolutely can't tell you anything—if I do though, you won't be able to leave afterwards."
"What do you mean?" Pakura questioned.
Rubbing his chin, grinning, Satori said, "Now that you know who I am, obviously I won't let you go report back. But that's fine—you could stay beside me instead and become my personal servant."
"You're still going to let me leave? Then I'd rather not hear anything!"
Between leaving freely and becoming a servant, Pakura chose freedom.
However, she gradually realized that despite constantly teasing her verbally, Satori wasn't truly malicious.
So she gathered her courage and started chatting with him.
After all, ninjas could also gain valuable intelligence through indirect conversations.
Satori Hyūga had no intention of exposing Pakura, so he chatted idly with her instead.
Outside, the Third Kazekage still had not departed. Satori was silently observing the Kage, considering whether to pull the enemy into the Black Hole Space.
A Bloodline Limit user of Magnet Release with Kage-class strength—under normal circumstances and without environmental advantages, he could definitely defeat him.
But how could he draw the Kage in?
"What if I simply opened a portal and invited him in?" A sudden idea struck Satori.
The moment the idea formed, an entrance to the Black Hole Space abruptly appeared in the room. It revealed itself to the Third Kazekage.
