The members of the Akatsuki Organization varied in their physiques, with strange things like Hiruko mixed among them.
The organization required them to wear uniforms at all times, so the black-based, red-clouded cloaks were designed with wide necklines and a loose, sack-like fit, making them easy to put on and take off.
Ino gripped too hard, and Konan's will to break free was equally firm.
With one grabbing with both hands and the other having a flexible body, Konan eventually pulled back, and her cloak fell into Ino's hands.
Even within the Akatsuki Organization, which was full of gay men, Konan was a virtuous woman and wouldn't go out without anything underneath; she had clothes under her cloak.
She was experienced in combat; the moment her cloak left her body, she took advantage of the situation to duck down, letting the cloak be snatched away like shedding skin.
She extended her left foot to trip Ino's ankle, while simultaneously raising her right hand, sending two paper cranes stabbing towards her eyes.
"Huh? Oh, come on!"
After hiding her Oiling Jutsu for so long, all she managed to do was strip off a cloak, and Ino felt it was a huge loss.
The cloak blocked her vision, and she only noticed the paper cranes when they were right in front of her.
She was still holding the cloak, so her arm couldn't retract in time.
She could only dodge sideways, but she didn't pay attention below while watching above.
She was tripped by Konan and both of them fell onto the water's surface.
Konan's leg was like a spring, delivering a fierce kick to Ino's left ribs.
Then, Konan raised her foot, her toes like a long spear, her purple nail polish shining brightly, and lunged towards Ino's heart.
After two Great Exploding Water Colliding Waves, This Country had long turned into a watery expanse.
The moment Ino fell, her right hand continued to grip the cloak.
Enduring the Pain in her ribs, she used one hand to lift Konan's heel, then her five fingers, like five hooks, clasped onto Konan's calf from behind.
This move originated from Yugito, but Yugito's nails were made of Chakra, while Ino only had normal nails.
She still had oil on her hands, and Konan was completely wet, so she couldn't get a grip.
Her hand slid down Konan's smooth calf from the knee until it paused at the ankle.
Konan subconsciously retracted her leg, and in the end, Ino pulled off one of Konan's shoes and half of a sock.
The gay men of the Akatsuki Organization all wore flat-soled shoes with grey bases and white straps, but Konan was the only one with purple, white-soled high heels.
The two stood on the water's surface, five paces apart.
A hint of anger appeared on Konan's normally indifferent face.
This Konoha Ninja's moves were too inexplicable!
"We're fighting, why are you stripping my clothes?"
The ability to transform into oil Chakra made her feel even more complicated; it was an ability her teacher, Jiraiya, had once used.
She subconsciously assumed Ino was also Jiraiya's disciple.
"Nice figure."
Ino held the other's cloak and shoe; to be honest, it was a bit awkward.
Her current appearance, with a cloak in one hand and a shoe and sock in the other, was completely out of place with the tragic scene of This Country's residents suffering from natural disaster and losing their homes and families.
She was quite troubled, wondering what to do with these things in her hands.
Put them away? Throw them away? Keep holding them?
None seemed appropriate!
Under her cloak, Konan wore a black, zippered, backless top, her smooth back completely exposed to the air.
The zipper of her top only went down to her lower abdomen, making her a definite show-off of her abs.
Most strikingly, she had a belly button ring, which, combined with her fair skin and light purple eyeshadow, gave her a somewhat bewitching appearance.
Has this young lady been influenced by the 'gay idol group' and then let herself go, liberating her true nature?
Konan's attire was quite sexy, but unfortunately, the people present were either gay men or half-grown children who didn't understand the charm of women.
Apart from Ino and the outwardly reserved Kakashi, there wasn't a single normal person who would truly appreciate her alluring beauty.
Ino thought it over and decided to seal the cloak and shoe, claiming them as spoils of war.
She planned to sell them to the old pervert Jiraiya, telling him they were "original-scent" items stripped from his female disciple.
She might even make a little money, though, of course, Tsunade couldn't find out about it.
The next second, the two clashed again.
Ino violently struck Konan's chest with her knee.
Konan's body was incredibly light, completely defying human anatomy, as she dodged sideways and simultaneously raised her elbow to strike Ino's face.
Ino held a Kunai in her right hand, formed a single hand seal with her left, and struck the paper person's chest with her palm: "Wind Release: Violent Wind Palm!"
Konan used her Paper Transformation again, nullifying Ino's Wind Palm, while countless Shikigami rained down, attempting to surround Ino.
Ino watched her movements and formed a hand seal: "Water Release: Surfing Strike!"
She submerged herself in the water, grabbed Konan's ankle, and dragged her into the water.
The opponent transformed both her legs into Shikigami, and Ino grabbed at empty air.
She quickly burst out of the water and punched Konan in the abdomen.
There was a thin layer of oil on her fist, causing the Paper Transformation to fail.
Konan was struck, stumbling back two steps, clutching her stomach, her face filled with Pain.
With her Oiling Jutsu exposed, she no longer held back, continuously smearing Konan's face with oil.
Seeing an opening, she relentlessly pounded her with Rasengan.
Konan had never encountered such a "greasy" enemy before and was repeatedly forced to retreat.
"Disorderly Conduct!"
With enhanced Chakra control, Ino could now use Tsunade's ultimate technique.
She stimulated all her nerves with Chakra, boosting her speed to the extreme, then kicked Konan in her exposed abdomen.
The opponent crossed her arms, blocking the kick.
Ino twisted her waist and swung her leg, attempting another kick, but found both her legs entangled by Shikigami.
Konan's face was grim as she swung Ino around like a long whip, and countless Shikigami made "hissing" sounds.
The next second, an explosion erupted.
Ino had a strong physique, but she wouldn't take a direct hit from an explosion comparable to an Exploding Tag.
She used Partial Water Transformation Jutsu to pull her legs free from the Shikigami's entanglement, escaping the center of the explosion at the last moment.
"Again with Water Transformation, and again with Oiling Jutsu, are you really a Konoha Ninja?"
Konan was a bit depressed.
Here, Ino clapped her hands together, unleashing another Great Exploding Water Colliding Wave.
"Do you only know Water Release?!"
Konan was soaked from head to toe, the paper flowers on her head turning into crumpled paper balls.
In the Land of Rain, she could resist rain, but that was rain; this was a sea!
It was completely different.
Her Paper Transformation was greatly weakened by Water Release and countered by Oiling Chakra, making her somewhat annoyed.
Ino completely dominated the fight, occasionally throwing out some teasing remarks.
"Your lip piercing is quite nice, but when you drink water like that, does it leak?"
"Wow? A belly button ring? You're quite unrestrained in your style."
"Tsk tsk, you even got a ring in that spot? You really scared me!"
Ino struggled in a three-on-one fight, but in a one-on-one, relying on her Oiling Jutsu, dealing with Konan was much easier.
At this moment, she still had enough energy to observe the battlefield, fearing that Obito, Pain, or others might pop out from unexpected corners.
Seeing their organization's favorite being beaten so badly, what if they came for revenge?
She really couldn't defeat those two.
Two minutes after Kakashi arrived at the battlefield, the main forces of Konoha Village also arrived.
