"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!" An Iwa Jonin rushed forward, swiftly forming hand seals and executing the B-rank jutsu. Instantly, an earthen wall rose from the ground, blocking a group of Konoha ninja. However, in the next moment, dozens of explosive tags and a Water Style jutsu attack, resembling a high-pressure water jet, rained down on him. The earth wall crumbled within seconds, and even the Iwa Jonin sustained significant injuries. But this wasn't important. His obstruction allowed the Iwa ninja behind him to catch up and engage some of the Konoha ninja. Now, if this Konoha team wanted to escape, they had to sacrifice some of their members. This was just a microcosm of the entire battlefield. During the breakout, almost every team faced similar situations. Some teams had stronger Jonin who could protect more people, while others had weaker ones who could only protect a few. For example, Seimei's strength was among the best among the Jonin, so his team had a relatively high survival rate. But this also created a problem: their team was more likely to attract the Iwa ninja's attention. Especially after Seimei revealed his blood-red Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he became even more conspicuous. Wasn't that why two Iwa Jonin, each leading about twenty Chunin and Genin, were now flanking them from both front and back? "Captain?" Someone, seeing the dire situation, couldn't help but warn him. However, Seimei just waved his hand, signaling for silence, and continued charging forward without slowing down. Seeing this, the people behind him gritted their teeth and followed, each prepared for a desperate fight. However, things didn't unfold as they expected. There was no fierce battle, only a one-sided slaughter. Seimei locked his eyes on the Jonin in the enemy team ahead. When they were close enough, he activated his Sharingan and cast a genjutsu. The Iwa Jonin, clearly experienced in fighting the Uchiha clan, immediately sensed something amiss and averted his gaze. Seeing this, Seimei swiftly took out a handful of kunai from his ninja pouch, each with an explosive tag attached. Obviously, he had prepared these beforehand. Without hesitation, he threw all the kunai at once. However, these kunai weren't aimed at the Iwa Jonin but were scattered like flower petals, targeting the Iwa team, specifically the weaker Genin. "Watch out!" The Iwa Jonin saw this from the corner of his eye and immediately warned his comrades. But it was too late. Except for two kunai intercepted mid-air by a quick-reacting Iwa Chunin, the rest all landed among the Iwa team. Fortunately, these were all ninja with fast reflexes. Seeing the incoming kunai, they all dodged to the side, preventing massive casualties. But this was enough to disrupt their formation. Amidst the explosions and smoke, Seimei used the Body Flicker Technique to instantly appear among the Iwa ninja. Then, with his Lv5 Swordsmanship and Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he moved like a ghost, weaving through the Iwa ninja, his figure blurred. His short sword, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, reaped lives wherever it went. The Iwa ninja were often caught off guard, stabbed from their blind spots, either severely injured or killed instantly. It was simply impossible to defend against. In just a few breaths, nearly ten Iwa ninja were injured by Seimei, half of them killed in one strike. During this time, the Iwa Jonin naturally tried to intervene, but Seimei skillfully used the Iwa ninja around him as cover to evade his attacks. Finally, the Iwa Jonin couldn't take it anymore. He shouted, "Everyone, get out of the way!" *Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh* Hearing this, the Iwa Chunin and Genin, instead of being annoyed, were relieved and scattered in all directions as if fleeing for their lives. Clearly, they didn't want to face Seimei either. But the battlefield wasn't a place they could leave as they pleased. Seeing them run, Seimei didn't hesitate and immediately gave chase, continuing to use his swordsmanship to reap their lives. However, these people were now scattered, no longer concentrated like before. After Seimei killed one and injured two more, the Iwa Jonin finally engaged him in combat. However, as soon as they clashed, Seimei revealed a trump card. Just as their kunai and short sword met, and they were locked in a struggle, Seimei suddenly raised his left arm, placing his hand in front of his chest, and formed the hand seals for the Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique at a not-so-fast speed. "What?" The Iwa Jonin was startled by Seimei's one-handed seal, causing him to cry out in surprise. Then, he jumped back to dodge. However, Seimei didn't attack him. Instead, he controlled the fireballs he spat out, aiming them at the surrounding Iwa Chunin and Genin. He forcibly blasted a path through the Iwa ninja. "Go!" Seimei shouted, snapping the Konoha ninja behind him out of their daze. He led them, charging through the Iwa ninja's blockade and towards the front. However, the Iwa ninja didn't give up. After the initial shock, the Iwa Jonin quickly organized those who could still fight, joined forces with the pursuing Iwa team, and chased after Seimei's group. But the opportunity had been missed. After passing through that obstacle, Seimei and his team joined up with other teams. Their group became larger, and the Iwa ninja didn't dare to act rashly. A few minutes later, a wisp of chakra suddenly invaded his mind, and a voice echoed in his ears. "Seimei-sama, please immediately head towards the three o'clock direction to assist other combat team Jonin in stopping the Five-Tails jinchuriki from attacking the main force." Seimei recognized the voice as Yamanaka Tokikaze's. Clearly, there were new orders. Seimei sensed his own condition... He had over 18,000 chakra points left. Although the wound on his left arm showed signs of reopening due to the previous battles, he had treated it with Healing Jutsu during their journey and shouldn't have any major problems for now. Overall, his combat strength was still above 90%. So, going to help wouldn't be a problem. With this thought, Seimei immediately responded in his mind, "Understood." Then, he sensed the chakra that had invaded his mind disappear. He knew that Yamanaka Tokikaze had disconnected their link. "Mind secret techniques... They're truly convenient!" He murmured and immediately instructed the ninja in his team to join other teams. He then used the Body Flicker Technique to rush towards the three o'clock direction. As for the specific location... There was no need for Yamanaka Tokikaze to specify. Not to mention the massive commotion caused by Han's battle with the Konoha Jonin, the evil chakra unique to tailed beasts was enough to guide Seimei. (End of Chapter)
