Uchiha Ling used Body Flicker Technique to arrive beside the Boiling Release Ninja, and a Three Element Sealing Technique sealed the Boiling Release Ninja's Chakra. Then, she pulled out some Boiling Release Chakra from the seal, sealing it into a Sealing Scroll, and also sealed a portion of the Boiling Release Ninja's flesh and blood.
"It's fine, it's just that he can't walk or wave his hands anymore, is there a need to make such a fuss?"
Uchiha Ling put away her spoils of war, speaking lightly of her violent actions. If the other Anbu had not already surrounded her, she would have even considered rummaging through the Boiling Release Ninja's tool pouch she had just acquired.
"Thank you for your assistance. I'll take the person with me." The Anbu who had been chasing the Boiling Release Ninja walked over, and the three of them directly escorted the Boiling Release Ninja, who had been reduced to a human torso, away.
"Hey, there are still two legs and two hands here! Don't you want them?"
Uchiha Ling looked at the legs and hands left on the ground, thinking that these Anbu were not professional at all, failing to even clear the scene.
Uchiha Ling's words directly caused the three Anbu, who were immersed in the grief of their captain's sacrifice, to almost stumble. Do you even hear what you're saying?
"If you don't want them, I do. I just happen to be short on research materials." Uchiha Ling mumbled softly, then picked up the severed legs and hands and put them into a Sealing Scroll.
"Kyōri, just burn them with Fire Release, why leave them?"
Muddled Deer had just recovered from the shock of Kyōri's powerful execution of the Boiling Release Ninja, only to see Kyōri picking up a severed leg and saying such things.
This scene was too horrifying; even Purple Rhino and Shadow Leopard found it disgusting, cruel, and bloody.
"Oh, this? I'm taking it back to roast and feed to the dogs." Uchiha Ling spoke nonsense with a straight face, though she had indeed smelled the scent of roasted human flesh before.
It was during the battlefield where she had chased Danzo earlier. Perhaps Uchiha Ling was naturally a bit off, so she didn't feel disgusted or nauseous the first time she smelled it.
Purple Rhino and the other two exchanged glances, the same thought flashing through their minds: "Although this teammate is exceptionally strong, she might be mentally ill."
Uchiha Ling cleaned up the scene, washed her hands, and even used Earth Release to bury all the bloodstains and battle traces on the ground.
The Ninja Academy doesn't need to thank me; this can be considered my way of repaying my alma mater, Uchiha Ling thought.
"Kyōri, how are you so powerful? Didn't you say you specialize in Medical Ninjutsu and Sealing Technique?"
Muddled Deer, as a somewhat incompetent sensory Ninja, had sensed Uchiha Ling's Chakra reserves when she unleashed her Chakra earlier, which left him quite astonished.
"Isn't this normal? Don't those who graduate early and can join Anbu all have at least Jonin level strength? Isn't this common sense?"
Uchiha Ling and the three, including Purple Rhino, headed towards the underground shelter. The crisis had been resolved, and they could let the people out.
Facing Muddled Deer's inquiry, Uchiha Ling acted as if it was only natural, almost fooling the three of them.
"Huh? Is that common sense? Captain, do you know this common sense?" Muddled Deer asked Purple Rhino, who also looked a bit regretful.
"Get lost! What kind of common sense is that! There's no such common sense at all!"
Purple Rhino saw that even the usually cold Shadow Leopard was looking over, and he knew that she too had been fooled by Kyōri.
"Oh, it's just that the Captain doesn't know because he hasn't encountered it before. Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the Commander-in-Chief, knows this common sense."
Uchiha Ling implied that their Captain, Purple Rhino, was too low-ranked to be exposed to such knowledge, which was normal.
Shadow Leopard and Muddled Deer simultaneously looked at Purple Rhino, causing Purple Rhino's eye to twitch again. He had been in Anbu for over ten years, having served in various Anbu squads, yet he had never encountered someone like Kyōri.
However, when he saw Kyōri's expression of "No way, this person really doesn't know, do they?", he also doubted himself for a moment. Could it be that his rank was truly too low to have encountered it?
But when he saw Uchiha Ling secretly smiling, he realized he had been tricked again. Shadow Leopard and Muddled Deer also noticed Uchiha Ling's hidden smile, and they immediately understood.
"Damn it! Kyōri is too mischievous! And what's with you specializing in Medical Ninjutsu and Sealing Technique? Aren't your sword skills and Genjutsu very impressive?"
Muddled Deer wanted to punch Kyōri, but considering the strength difference between them, he had to give up on that idea.
"Well, I thought sword skills and other Taijutsu, as well as Genjutsu and Ninjutsu, are all very common things, right? These shouldn't count as specialties, should they?"
Uchiha Ling spread her hands, indicating that what everyone knows isn't a specialty. Only what one possesses that others don't can be called a specialty, right?
"So, Sealing Technique and Medical Ninjutsu, which are rarely mastered, are called specialties, while other Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu are merely basic skills for a Ninja?"
Uchiha Ling's sophistry actually made the three begin to reflect. They even felt that Uchiha Ling made a lot of sense. Could it be that their previous understanding of specialties was a mistaken notion?
"Don't listen to Kyōri's nonsense. A specialty is something you are particularly good at; it's not about whether others know it or not."
Purple Rhino was the sharpest; Kyōri's changing of concepts made him react quickly. In fact, he had also been fooled at first.
"Damn it! Kyōri is really too bad! You must have been too naughty, which is why the Ninja Academy teachers made you graduate. I must be right, right?"
After Muddled Deer realized he had been tricked again, he began to verbally attack Uchiha Ling. This was his compensation for not being able to physically attack her.
"Hehe, I'm very well-behaved. My grades at the Academy were always first place. If the Third Hokage hadn't made me graduate, I wouldn't have!"
"Graduating is impossible. Everyone at the Academy is a talent, and they speak so nicely. I really love it there."
Although they felt that Kyōri's words were a bit cheeky and carried a hint of Versailles, they had no evidence.
Arriving at the entrance of the shelter, Purple Rhino used a special dynamic password to open the thick steel door, and they saw the trembling Ninja Academy Students and the Ninja Academy teachers comforting these little sprouts inside.
"Everyone, the crisis has been resolved. You can continue with your classes."
As soon as Purple Rhino spoke, some Ninja Academy Students who had been holding back tears suddenly burst into tears. It seemed they had been holding back due to fear earlier.
"Hahaha, cry! Actually, I've killed all the Anbu. I transformed into an Anbu Ninja to get rid of you all! All of you, die!"
Uchiha Ling was momentarily annoyed by the crying, and instinctively, she transformed into the appearance of the previous Boiling Release Ninja and began to scare these little sprouts.
Uchiha Ling's action was very effective. The crying immediately stopped, and one by one, with tears in their eyes, they looked at Uchiha Ling, who had transformed into the Boiling Release Ninja.
"Uchiha Ling! Don't think I don't know it's you! How dare you scare your classmates! Don't think that just because you've graduated, I won't deal with you."
Nakamura Hirohiko leaped out of the crowd and came to Uchiha Ling's side, giving her a sharp rap on the head that immediately broke her transformation. Uchiha Ling's transformation Jutsu shattered, leaving the little sprouts bewildered.
Uchiha Ling actually saw through Nakamura Hirohiko's movements, but out of respect for Nakamura Hirohiko's long-standing authority, she did not resist.
A single rap on the head made Uchiha Ling crouch down, covering her head. Of course, Nakamura Hirohiko had only tapped her lightly, and Uchiha Ling was merely putting on an act.
