Chapter 438: Temari vs Onoki 1

As the trio of Rei, Konan, and Temari, who once again, much to Konan's amusement, tried to meld with Rei's side in an affectionate hug, enjoyed their casual peaceful moment while chatting about unimportant things while ignoring what was going on around them, Temari suddenly stiffened... and pouted.

Rei chuckled, causing the blonde girl to raise her face towards him and when their eyes met, Temari instantly donned a pleading expression but Rei...

"Don't look at me like that." He calmly smiled at her, "I felt the subtle flaring of Pakura's chakra as well. Go. She is calling for you." He patted the girl's head while she reluctantly separated from him.

"Fine." Temari grumbled.

Before she rushed towards Pakura's position, however, she decided to be a bit mischievous and walked towards Rei before pecking him on the cheek. Her cheeks gained a pink dusting because of her action but before either Konan or Rei could start teasing her, Temari disappeared in a swirl of sand.

Rei, rubbing his cheek, was smiling in amusement, "That girl..." He helplessly shook his head.

...

Temari arrived at the place where she could feel Lady Pakura's chakra and noticed her leisurely sitting on a throne-like chair while talking with some midget...

'Did she really have to call me? She is one of the strongest ninjas in here. Why does she have to disturb me?' Temari inwardly complained at her time with Rei being cut short.

When she landed and greeted Lady Pakura, she was told she was supposed to face off against the midget who was apparently the Third Tsuchikage. Well, Lady Pakura created a nice way to provoke the prideful dwarf so Temari saw no harm in giving a follow-up.

"No idea if he will be any good for testing but he does seem kind of dumb." She said while looking at Onoki.

Onoki was obviously annoyed at the jab at his intelligence but unlike Pakura, he did not consider the young genin as someone on the same level as him. Her words did not have much of an effect on him.

Instead, he turned towards Pakura, "You really want me to face the girl first? Have you no shame?"

Pakura did not answer Onoki. She ignored him and turned towards Temari, donning a disbelieving expression, "Does he actually expect me to answer that? Did he not witness you fight in the arena?"

"Seems like it, Lady Pakura." Temari quipped with an easy-going smile, "One would expect the Tsuchikage to know what being a ninja means but who knows what else than his height is stunted."

From their interaction, Onoki understood verbal attacks had no effect and they would only keep mocking him.

"Very well. As you wish." Onoki's face darkened as he put his hands together, "I will quickly deal with the girl first before I deal with you, then."

His knees bent in preparation for recoil and a small white light started to gather in the middle of his joined thumbs and pointing fingers. The light was slowly growing bigger and bigger, being charged by Onoki's potent chakra...

It didn't even take two seconds for Onoki's attack to be ready and a white beam shot straight at Temari at breakneck speed.

The beam traveled through the air and the second Onoki finished firing it, he started turning toward Pakura, considering the blonde girl done for.

Yes, the show she gave in the arena against the Uzumaki girl was impressive and very fancy but Onoki would not dub her a Kage-level powerhouse. Not yet. He fully believed firing his bloodline jutsu at the girl was enough to get rid of her or at the very least lethally injure her.

That's why he was left surprised when Temari just whipped out her fan and... did the impossible. She deflected the beam upward with it, straight into the clear sky, until the chakra powering it was used up and the beam disappeared into thin air.

"Wha-!? How did you-!?" Onoki exclaimed, suddenly much warier about the 'genin' in front of him.

It had to be said, the Dust Release was one of the most destructive bloodlines in the world! It was also known to be able to get through any physical obstacle with the ease of a knife going through butter. The only reliable way to survive it was to dodge it but that was easier said than done since the Dust Release Jutsus were very fast too.

Just with this one bloodline, both the Second and the Third Tsuchikage were capable of becoming the best Iwa ninjas in their respective generations and secure the position of the Tsuchikage for themselves. They definitely had many more tricks up their sleeve but their bloodline played a very important role in their rise to power. There was simply no way to easily counter it.

And yet... Onoki just witnessed a kunoichi using a battle fan to deflect his Dust Release attack. It utterly baffled him.

"I used my fangirl powers." Temari smugly retorted, making Onoki's mind blank out for a second at the stupidity he just heard.

Before Onoki could regain his focus, Temari suddenly grabbed her fan with both of her hands and channeled a massive amount of wind-natured chakra into it, before swinging it at him.

A tornado full of kamaitachi whirlwinds burst forth, appearing out of nowhere and engulfing Onoki. It was so massive that everyone in Konoha could see it as the sky was seemingly connected with the ground through it.

Inside the tornado, the wind chakra ground against each other, creating a very efficient meat grinder capable of turning anything entering it into dust. It was no wonder that part of the arena was instantly disintegrated by it.

"There, that should do it." Temari nodded in satisfaction as she leaned on her now folded battle fan. She put quite a bit of her reserves into this attack as she wanted to quickly return to Rei. Turning back towards Pakura, Temari impatiently asked, "Can I go now?"

In response, Pakura just chuckled, "Firstly, you overdid it."

Temari unrepentantly grinned, "It worked, no? That's all that matters." She shrugged her shoulders.

Pakura's lips stretched into a teasing smile at that, "Secondly... you are underestimating your enemy."

Pakura timed her answer very well as the second it was out of her mouth, the tornado suddenly exploded in white light penetrating it in multiple places, collapsing the entire Jutsu with pure force, overpowering the wind chakra inside of it.

When the tornado full of razor-sharp winds dissipated, Onoki could be seen standing in his original spot, not even a scratch on him.

"It will take much more than that to put me down, kid." He glared at Temari, not amused with her assumption that defeating him was so easy.

Onoki was a prideful man. He could stomach being verbally mocked. Especially when his opponent used the jabs at his height. Everyone did that. He was used to it.

But having his ability questioned and being looked down upon by some wet behind the ears upstart?

Now that pissed him off.

Onoki put his hands together, much like when he shot the first beam at Temari, and his chakra flared around him as his killing intent fell on Temari's shoulders while he condescendingly shouted,

"You deflected one... can you do the same with ten!?"
