Seimei could think of things that his teammates could also think of. Realizing that they had been exposed, hyuga Hikari asked in a deep voice, "Captain, what should we do?" Hearing this, Seimei didn't immediately answer her question but asked first, "Hikari, how far is it from here to the enemy's command center?" hyuga Hikari glanced at the front right and replied cleanly, "Through this corridor, then turn right at two corners. The total distance is about two hundred meters." "Is that so..." Seimei pondered for a moment, not thinking too much, and directly ordered, "Don't worry about those guards. Next, we'll advance at full speed. We must get close to the enemy command center in the shortest possible time." After saying that, regardless of the three's reactions, he took the lead and rushed forward. Seeing this, hyuga Hikari and the others exchanged glances and immediately followed. Soon, they reached the end of the corridor. Seimei didn't stop at all, turned ninety degrees, and immediately turned to the right according to hyuga Hikari's instructions. However, before he could run a few steps, he saw three Iwa ninja teams, a total of twelve Iwa ninjas, at the end of the corridor. Seimei's eyes quickly scanned everyone, and he instantly made a preliminary estimate of their strength based on the amount of chakra in their bodies - two special Jonin and ten Chunin. Seimei didn't stop and continued to charge towards them, with hyuga Hikari and the other two following closely behind. Seeing this, the three Iwa ninja teams became vigilant. One of the special Jonin stepped forward and shouted, "Stop! Enemies have infiltrated the base. Please cooperate with the inspection immediately!" However, Seimei turned a deaf ear to his questioning and continued to run forward. Seeing this, the special Jonin immediately drew his kunai and warned for the second time, "The four people in front, stop immediately!" This time, Seimei finally stopped, and hyuga Hikari and the others also stopped behind him. Seeing this scene, although the dozen or so Iwa ninjas didn't say anything, they instinctively relaxed a bit of their vigilance. And this was the opportunity Seimei was waiting for. The special Jonin in front wanted to say something else, but before he could open his mouth, Seimei suddenly raised his head, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes. "Sharingan? Oh no!" Seeing his eyes, the special Jonin was terrified, and the words he was about to say were immediately swallowed back. Now, he just wanted to sound the alarm. However, it was too late. The moment their eyes met, Seimei activated his Sharingan and released a genjutsu, briefly controlling the special Jonin. Then, he flipped his hands, and six shuriken appeared in his palms. *Whoosh whoosh whoosh~* Faint sounds of breaking air rang out. Seimei threw the six shuriken out in an instant. One of them aimed at the throat of the motionless Iwa special Jonin in front, and the other five shot towards the eleven Iwa ninjas behind him. Not only him, but hyuga Hikari and the others, who were already prepared, also threw kunais and shurikens immediately. "Watch out!" Seeing the many kunais and shurikens flying towards them, another special Jonin in the Iwa ninja team immediately shouted a warning. Unfortunately, caught off guard, they still lost five people at once, and three others were injured. Only four people completely dodged this round of attacks. Seimei instantly passed by the special Jonin whose throat was pierced by his shuriken and rushed into the remaining seven Iwa ninjas in the blink of an eye. The intense movement caused his Transformation Technique to fail, and his appearance changed back from the Iwa Jonin to his own. "Demon Sword Seimei!" The surviving Iwa special Jonin recognized Seimei's identity and exclaimed in surprise. Seimei smiled at him in response, which scared the other person into closing his eyes and quickly retreating. Seeing this, Seimei didn't choose to pursue him but instead used the Illusion Sword Technique and the vision-blocking tactic to instantly eliminate the six surviving Iwa Chunin on the field. At this time, hyuga Hikari and the others had just arrived. Although they had heard of Seimei's title of "Demon Sword" and knew that he was very strong... But... When they saw his unpredictable swordsmanship, the three of them couldn't help but gasp, their entire bodies frozen in place. Seimei didn't care what they were thinking. After killing the Iwa ninjas on the field, he continued to rush forward without stopping. Seeing this, hyuga Hikari and the others quickly gathered their thoughts and followed closely. In just a few seconds, they reached the end of the corridor. Seimei turned right again, and the Iwa ninja command center was only a few dozen meters ahead. However, these remaining dozens of meters were destined not to be easy. Seimei had just rushed forward a few steps when he sensed danger. *Boom~* An explosion came from the side, and mud and gravel flew everywhere. Seimei hurriedly stopped and dodged the attack. When the smoke cleared, a figure stood in front of them. Seeing the person, Seimei narrowed his eyes. It was none other than the Iwa Explosion Corps member he had fought twice before - Gari. His Explosion Release left a deep impression on him. His original handy short sword was blown up by Gari barehanded. However, his "Wind Release: Wind Blade" in their last parting blow should have also left a deep impression on Gari. Thinking of this, Seimei couldn't help but glance at Gari's chest and abdomen, wondering if there would be a terrifying scar under his clothes. Seemingly sensing Seimei's gaze, a look of fear flashed across Gari's thin face. If he hadn't escaped in time, he would probably be dead now. Even so, that wound had kept him bedridden for seven or eight days. Even now that it had healed, he would still feel pain from time to time. Obviously, it had left aftereffects. And his strength had also decreased because of this. Intense battles would cause pain in his chest, and his chakra flow would also be disrupted. Unfortunately, his Explosion Release was a Kekkei Genkai that required close combat to fully utilize its power, which made him very uncomfortable. Thinking of these things, a haze flashed in Gari's eyes, and his gaze towards Seimei was filled with killing intent. Ignoring his killing intent, Seimei's gaze swept past Gari and looked behind him, where he saw more Iwa ninja teams. And they seemed to be protecting a room. Undoubtedly, that was the Iwa ninja command center. Seeing this, Seimei no longer hesitated and immediately reached into his ninja tool bag, taking out the three-pronged kunai that Minato had given him. Seeing this, Gari thought he was about to attack and immediately charged forward, coming to Seimei's side. Then, he threw a punch, aiming straight at Seimei's face. Feeling the Explosion Release chakra condensed on his fist, Seimei didn't dare to take it head-on and quickly dodged. *Boom~* Gari's fist hit the corridor wall, causing a muffled explosion. Missing his attack, Gari didn't give up and immediately used his second move, his left hand forming a fist, fiercely striking towards Seimei's abdomen. Seimei dodged again, not forgetting to infuse a bit of chakra into the kunai in his hand, activating the chakra mark on the talisman at its handle. Then, he threw the kunai, aiming straight at Gari. Gari reacted quickly and dodged the attack with a turn of his head. The kunai continued to fly forward, eventually sticking into the ground not far from the Iwa ninja teams behind. Gari ignored the kunai and was about to launch a new round of attacks on Seimei. But at this moment, there was a commotion from behind. He turned his head and saw three figures appearing behind him at some point. And at the feet of those three people was the kunai that Seimei had just thrown. (End of Chapter)
