Seimei rested briefly, then began tending to his wounds. The other injuries were minor and easily healed with his near-perfect Healing Jutsu. However, the deep gash on his left arm from the Wind Style: Wind Blade was a different story. The bone was almost visible. And to quickly kill Koharu Shuji, he had forcefully used the Rasengan with his left hand, further aggravating the injury. It wouldn't heal in a short time. "Well, I'll recover as much as I can," he muttered, placing his right hand on his left arm. Yang Release chakra from the Healing Jutsu gathered around the wound, stimulating cell division and growth. Moments later, the deep wound closed. Of course, it was only a superficial healing. If he exerted too much force with his left arm, the wound would reopen. But given the current situation, it was impossible for him not to use his left arm later. After some thought, Seimei took out a bandage from his ninja pouch, applied ointment, and wrapped it around the wound. This way, he could mislead the enemy into thinking his left arm was severely injured, giving him an advantage in a crucial moment. It would also help stop the bleeding if the wound reopened during combat. It was a win-win situation. He quickly finished bandaging. Then, he scanned the surroundings and collected some kunai and shuriken, putting them into his ninja pouch. He had almost used up all his kunai and shuriken in the previous battles, so he needed to replenish his supply. After that, Seimei was about to leave. But then, as if remembering something, he flashed to a nearby dense forest. Following some traces, he found a Konoha ninja. It was the one who had tried to stop Han with the Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall but was sent flying along with the wall. The ninja was covered in blood, with multiple injuries. If not for the slight rise and fall of his chest, Seimei would have thought he was dead. He quickly approached and carefully examined the ninja's injuries. Honestly, the situation wasn't optimistic. The external injuries were manageable with his Healing Jutsu, but the internal ones were not. Healing Jutsu was good for treating external wounds, but it was limited when it came to internal organ damage. This Konoha Jonin had suffered a severe impact, causing internal bleeding and damage to some organs. It was only because he was a ninja, able to sustain himself with chakra, that he was still alive. An ordinary person would have died long ago. Of course, it was also because he wasn't directly hit by Han but only caught in the aftershock. Otherwise, he would be dead by now. "Well, I'll do what I can," Seimei muttered, starting to treat the injuries based on his abilities. First, he stopped the bleeding from the external wounds to prevent the ninja from dying from excessive blood loss. As for the internal injuries, although Healing Jutsu couldn't cure them, it could stabilize them somewhat. A few minutes later, Seimei finished the treatment, and the Konoha Jonin finally regained consciousness. "Did you save me?" he asked weakly, looking at Seimei. "Yes," Seimei nodded and briefly explained what had happened. "I've treated your external injuries, but I can't do anything about the internal ones for now." Hearing this, Shinohara Kei sensed his own body. As expected, his internal organs were aching. Nevertheless, he thanked Seimei, "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would probably be dead." "You're welcome," Seimei replied. As they were talking, a faint landing sound came, as if someone had jumped down from a tree branch. "Shh!" Seimei immediately made a silent gesture to Shinohara Kei. Although injured, Shinohara Kei was still a Jonin and knew what to do. He closed his mouth, then pointed at himself and the direction of the sound, nodding at Seimei. Seimei understood. He flashed and hid behind a nearby tree. A few moments later, four figures appeared - all Iwa ninja. They saw the weak and injured Shinohara Kei lying on the ground and, without any words, threw several kunai at him. Clearly, they wanted to kill him. But this was exactly what Shinohara Kei wanted. He had signaled to Seimei to use him as bait to ambush the unknown enemy. Of course, there was also a hidden meaning: if things went south, Seimei could abandon him and escape on his own. But when Seimei saw the newcomers, he knew he didn't need to run, and Shinohara Kei wouldn't die. *Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh* He threw a few kunai, accurately intercepting the ones flying towards Shinohara Kei. Seeing their attack blocked, the leading Iwa ninja shouted, "Be careful!" He looked in the direction the kunai had come from. However, all he saw was a pair of blood-red eyes. 'Sharingan?' As his consciousness faded, the Iwa ninja thought of the name of those eyes. But in the next moment, a shuriken pierced his throat. He regained consciousness, staring at the figure standing on a tree branch in the distance, his eyes filled with unwillingness. "Captain!" The other three Iwa ninja exclaimed. One of them immediately looked in the same direction. The Iwa captain struggled to reach out, seemingly trying to stop him from looking. But it was too late. The next moment, the Iwa ninja froze, and another shuriken flew out, accurately hitting his throat. Seeing this, the Iwa captain coughed up a mouthful of blood, his head slumped, and he died. The other two reacted a bit slower and finally saw Seimei's figure. When they saw the blood-red Sharingan, they understood how their captain and comrade had died and quickly looked away. Seimei formed hand seals and swiftly used the Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique. Countless fireballs, resembling phoenix flower seeds, flew out, surrounding the two Iwa ninja under Seimei's control. The two dodged left and right, avoiding most of the attacks and only sustaining minor injuries. But before they could catch their breath, Seimei appeared between them. "What?" They exclaimed in shock, seemingly completely surprised by Seimei's speed. *Swish* A sword flash, and one of them had his throat slit. The other immediately counterattacked, but as soon as his kunai thrust out, Seimei vanished. In the next moment, a strong sense of danger came from behind. He instinctively lunged forward, narrowly avoiding Seimei's sword strike. But it was only one sword strike. Seimei flickered repeatedly, his short sword thrusting from his blind spots. In the blink of an eye, he left several wounds on the Iwa ninja. Seimei's speed increased, and the Iwa ninja gradually couldn't keep up. Finally, after another sword strike from Seimei, the Iwa ninja failed to block in time and was pierced through the chest. "You..." The Iwa ninja wanted to say something, but Seimei didn't want to listen. He casually pulled out his short sword and ended his life. All four Iwa ninja were dead. The entire process took less than a minute. It wasn't that they were weak. In fact, the four Iwa ninja he killed were quite strong. The leader was a special Jonin, and the other three, although Chunin, were also above average in strength. The reason they didn't last a minute against Seimei was that they were caught off guard. If he hadn't used his Sharingan to instantly kill the strongest special Jonin and another Iwa Chunin at the beginning, the battle wouldn't have been so easy. They were simply too careless, and he was too strong. (End of Chapter)
