Time passed by. Seimei slaughtered the Iwa-nin Chunin and Genin with extreme efficiency. The Iwa-nin Jonin wanted to help, but they were all stopped by the Nara clan Jonin and the Yamanaka clan Jonin. Therefore, in less than three minutes, he completed his goal and slaughtered all the Iwa-nin Chunin and Genin nearby. Shaking off the blood from his sword, Seimei looked at the remaining few Iwa-nin Jonin. Perhaps because he had killed too many people in a short time, he was now filled with killing intent. When he looked at them, the Iwa-nin Jonin felt a palpitation. "Kill!" Seimei let out a low shout, and his figure flickered, appearing behind an Iwa-nin Jonin. The short sword in his hand thrust out, aiming at the opponent's back. Seeing this, another Iwa-nin Jonin next to him immediately stepped forward, waving the kunai in his hand, trying to block the attack for his teammate. But at this moment, a black shadow silently spread from the corner of the wall, crawling up his body along his legs. A restraining force came from the black shadow, causing his movements to pause. Helpless, he could only shout a warning: "Chīguan, be careful!" Chīguan had already sensed danger when Seimei appeared behind him. Now with his teammate's reminder, his reaction was even faster. Before the short sword touched his body, he used the Body Replacement Technique. With the help of the explosive increase in movement speed, he instantly moved away from Seimei and left a stone in his original place as cover. *Clang* The short sword pierced the stone, making a crisp sound. Using the rebound force from the sword, Seimei twisted his wrist, and the short sword slashed towards the Iwa-nin Jonin who was bound by the Shadow Imitation Technique. Seeing this, Chīguan, who had already dodged far away, immediately threw the kunai in his hand, aiming directly at Seimei's neck artery. With a glance from the corner of his eye, Seimei instantly captured the kunai's flight trajectory in his mind, then slightly twisted his body, easily avoiding the attack. However, because of this, his attack movement was deformed, and he failed to cause fatal damage to the Iwa-nin Jonin next to him. *Slash* The short sword grazed the opponent's forearm, leaving a deep wound. "Ah~" With the stimulation of this pain, the Iwa-nin Jonin let out a roar and finally broke free from the shadow's restraints. Affected by this, the Nara clan Jonin not far away also took two steps back. However, Seimei didn't care about this. Failing to kill the opponent with one strike, he immediately swung his second sword, aiming at the opponent's throat. Sensing the danger, the Iwa-nin Jonin didn't hesitate and immediately retreated, dodging the attack while forming a pincer attack with Chīguan. Seimei glanced at the two of them, unconcerned. He kicked the ground hard with both feet, and his whole body shot out like a cannonball, charging forward again. *Clang clang clang* Soon, the three of them were locked in battle. At the same time, because of his joining, the pressure on the Nara clan and Yamanaka clan Jonin was greatly reduced, and they immediately became more aggressive. It was at this time that Seimei discovered a problem. That was, by prioritizing eliminating those Iwa-nin Chunin and Genin, although it reduced a lot of worries for their side and allowed them to fight the Iwa-nin Jonin in front of them without any worries, Similarly, the deaths of these Iwa-nin Chunin and Genin also freed the Iwa-nin Jonin on the field from constraints. They no longer had to worry about their ninjutsu hurting their own people. Therefore, their combat power greatly increased one by one. And this also led to the intensity of the battlefield starting to increase exponentially. ... *Boom boom boom~* Continuous explosions rang out. The entire corridor, no, the entire underground space was shaking. The full power of several Jonin quickly made this underground space unbearable. Dense cracks appeared on the walls on both sides and the dome above, as if it would collapse at any moment. However, despite this, no one retreated, and the battle continued. "Ugh~" A muffled groan suddenly came. Chīguan was caught off guard by Seimei, who directly controlled his mind with "Genjutsu: Sharingan." Then, he was pierced through the chest by a sword. The intense pain woke him up from the genjutsu, and he instinctively let out a muffled groan. His vision returned, and he immediately realized his situation, and a boundless despair arose in his heart. Looking at Seimei who was close at hand, Chīguan gritted his teeth, swallowed the blood in his throat, stretched out his hands, and used his last bit of strength to grab the short sword in his chest. Seeing this scene, the Iwa-nin Jonin who had been attacking Seimei with him couldn't care less about grief. He immediately formed hand seals and used the ninjutsu - Lightning Release: Thunder Dragon. The next moment, there was a crackling sound, and a thunder dragon shot out from his palm, rushing towards Seimei at an extremely fast speed. A sense of crisis came from behind. Seimei didn't hesitate and immediately let go of the short sword inserted into Chīguan's chest. Then, with a flash, he pounced towards the front right. "Humph! Want to run? No way!" Behind him, the Iwa-nin Jonin saw his movement, snorted coldly, and immediately controlled the thunder dragon to chase after him. Seimei caught a glimpse of this from the corner of his eye and immediately changed direction, gathering chakra on the soles of his feet and rushing towards the front along the side wall. Seeing this, the Iwa-nin Jonin behind him still relentlessly continued to control the thunder dragon to pursue. Seimei's eyes turned cold, and then his hands quickly formed seals. Finally, before the thunder dragon caught up with him, he used the ninjutsu - Wind Release: Wind Blade! A transparent wind blade flew out from his palm and instantly sliced into the thunder dragon. After a slight pause, it split the thunder dragon in half. Originally, wind-attribute chakra had an advantage over lightning-attribute chakra. Now, the "Wind Release: Wind Blade" he used was even more advanced than the "Lightning Release: Thunder Dragon" used by the opponent. Naturally, it easily broke through the opponent's ninjutsu. However, because the distance was too close, when the wind blade cut through the thunder dragon, the power it unleashed still affected Seimei. *Ziz* A white light flashed, and a dense electrical current sounded. Seimei was affected, his hair instantly stood up, and his body trembled from the electricity. His nervous system was paralyzed, and he couldn't move. "Good opportunity!" Seeing this scene, the Iwa-nin Jonin was overjoyed and quickly took out a kunai tied with an explosive tag and shot it towards Seimei. The tomoe in his pupils spun rapidly. Seimei instantly locked onto the kunai's flight trajectory and also saw the explosive tag tied to it. Without any hesitation, he instantly burst out with all his chakra. Suddenly, a pressure swept across the entire area, easily tearing apart the electric current that trapped him. The surrounding air seemed to become viscous. Seimei kicked the ground with both feet, and in the next moment, he disappeared from his original spot. *Clang* *Boom* The kunai was nailed to the ground, and then the explosive tag tied to it exploded. A flash of fire appeared, and a strong shockwave spread along the corridor in both directions. *Puchi* In the smoke and dust, the sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out. Looking closely, Seimei was standing behind the Iwa-nin Jonin, his right hand holding the kunai, deeply stabbed into the opponent's back. *Puff* A mouthful of blood spurted from the opponent's mouth. He glanced back from the corner of his eye and only saw half of Seimei's expressionless face. "You..." The Iwa-nin Jonin still wanted to say something, but Seimei didn't give him the chance. He slightly exerted force with his right hand and pulled out the kunai that had pierced into his body. Instantly, a large amount of blood flowed out. He staggered forward a few steps and then lost consciousness...
