"However, it's about time to leave." Seimei muttered to himself, recalling the memories that had suddenly appeared in his mind. That's right, just now, a shadow clone had transmitted information to him by releasing the ninjutsu, urging him to rush there as soon as possible. 'But before leaving, should I try something big?' Seimei's eyes gleamed as he scanned the tents where the wounded were staying. With the trust he had just gained, Seimei was confident that he could 'instantly' kill everyone in a tent without making any noise. But that was meaningless. First, although he could kill them silently, he couldn't control them silently. All his current genjutsu could only be cast on a single person and couldn't control multiple people simultaneously. This meant that he couldn't extract these people's chakra, so taking action was pointless. Second, these people had already been harvested by him once. Although they still had chakra in their bodies, it wasn't much. Six or seven people in one tent couldn't gather much chakra, so it wasn't worth the risk. Lastly, and most importantly, he didn't want any unexpected complications. Although after killing these people, it wouldn't be discovered immediately, it couldn't be hidden for long either, as the other Iwa ninjas weren't blind. Next, he still had to rush to the battlefield between the Cloud ninja and the Iwa ninja to fish in troubled waters. If he was pursued, it would be detrimental to his concealment. Moreover... Seimei opened the panel and glanced at it. He saw that his 'Healing Technique' had leveled up from lv3 (70/1000) to lv4 (490/2000), and the 'Reflecting Heart Technique' had leveled up from lv7 (257/20000) to lv7 (512/20000). The income of nearly 150,000 chakra points was already enough; he couldn't be greedy anymore! With this thought, Seimei didn't linger any longer and immediately sneaked towards the outside of the camp. Because he had some of Tetsu's memories, it was even easier this time than when he infiltrated. In just a few minutes, he left the temporary camp. Afterward, he followed the shadow clone's memories and quickly rushed towards the battlefield between the Cloud ninja and the Iwa ninja. ... The moon was bright, and the stars were sparse. Seimei ran all the way and finally arrived at the place where the shadow clone had last stayed at midnight. However, there were no Cloud ninja or Iwa ninja here anymore, only some traces of the battle. Seimei glanced around and quickly saw the mark left by other shadow clones in a conspicuous place. Then, he continued to follow the mark, and it wasn't until dawn that he finally met up with the three shadow clones. At this time, they were still moving forward. In the distance, the main force of the Cloud ninja could be vaguely seen, along with a small number of Iwa ninja trailing behind them. "What's the situation?" Seimei came to the side of a shadow clone and asked. Hearing this, the shadow clone quickly replied, "Simply put, the Iwa ninja don't want the Cloud ninja to leave so quickly. They want to delay them, but they are no match for the Third Raikage. Now they can only follow like this. You can see the specific situation for yourself." As he spoke, the shadow clone released the jutsu. Immediately, the clone's experiences and memories surfaced in Seimei's mind. In just a moment, Seimei had a new understanding of the current situation. Overall, in the outer areas, Iwagakure had already formed an encirclement, but because the encirclement was too large, their forces couldn't be concentrated, and there was a risk of it being broken through. If they wanted to annihilate this elite Cloud ninja force, they had to buy time and shrink the encirclement to concentrate their forces. To this end, Iwagakure sent out an elite force to try to hinder the Cloud ninja's advance. The location of the battle between the two sides was the place he had arrived at midnight. At that time, the shadow clones all thought that the final decisive battle would take place there, so they quickly reported the news to him. Unexpectedly, halfway through the battle, the Third Raikage suddenly erupted with extraordinary strength and single-handedly tore through the defense line formed by the Iwa ninja elites, allowing the main Cloud ninja force to continue moving forward. Helplessly, the shadow clones could only leave a mark and continue to follow. Similarly, after suffering a loss, those Iwa ninja didn't dare to directly obstruct them anymore and could only follow behind to harass them. Now, it depended on whether the Cloud ninja would reach the encirclement first and break through it, or whether the Iwa ninja would gather enough forces in advance to form an impenetrable wall. It could be said that the Cloud ninja and the Iwa ninja were now racing against time to see who would achieve their goal first. However, according to memories from his past life, it should be Iwagakure who completed the plan first. Otherwise, the Third Raikage wouldn't have stayed behind alone to create an opportunity for the Cloud ninja to escape. 'I just don't know how much longer until that time comes.' Thinking this in his heart, Seimei had two shadow clones release their jutsu. *Poof* *Poof* As two puffs of chakra smoke dispersed, the other two shadow clones disappeared, leaving only Seimei alone on the field. Then, he followed behind the Cloud ninja and the Iwa ninja alone, waiting for the final decisive battle to arrive. ... Time passed by minute by minute. In the blink of an eye, the sky was already bright. Neither the Cloud ninja nor the Iwa ninja showed any signs of stopping. Naturally, Seimei couldn't stop either. By now, he hadn't slept for a day and a night. Fortunately, he wasn't an ordinary person and could endure a few days without sleep. In a flash, several more hours passed. It was almost noon. Inexplicably, Seimei felt a sense of oppression. Looking up at the sky, it had been clear and sunny in the morning, but now it was covered in dark clouds. *Crackle* Suddenly, a lightning bolt tore through the clouds, illuminating the surroundings and stinging everyone's eyes. Immediately afterward, the rumbling sound of thunder echoed through the sky, making people involuntarily raise their heads. At this moment, there was only one thought in everyone's mind: the might of heaven and earth was beyond human power. *Crackle* Another lightning bolt flashed, illuminating the sky and the densely packed Iwa ninja in front. "Hmm?" Seimei suddenly activated his Sharingan and looked forward. He saw a large number of Iwa ninja climbing over the hill, rapidly approaching. Looking further into the distance and to both sides, there were even more Iwa ninja gathering, densely packed like ants, countless in number. Even Seimei was shocked by this scene. No wonder people said that when people reached ten thousand, they were boundless and endless. Although the Iwa ninja in front weren't ten thousand, their momentum was no less impressive. Didn't you see that even the Cloud ninja had stopped! *Crackle* Another lightning bolt flashed. The next moment, a few raindrops fell on Seimei's face. "It's raining!" Mumbling to himself, Seimei looked up and saw raindrops falling from the sky as if they were free. "Haha, this rain came at the perfect time!" Suddenly, a loud laugh came from the front, attracting Seimei's attention. He looked up and saw a figure wrapped in lightning rapidly rushing out from the Cloud ninja contingent, heading straight for the Iwa ninja in front. Who else could it be but the Third Raikage?
