*Bang* Watching the opponent's body fall to the ground, Seimei expressionlessly shook the kunai in his hand, leaving a few blood streaks on the ground. Seimei put away the kunai and walked towards Chīguan, pulling out his short sword from Wu's chest. Until this moment, the people on the field who had been inexplicably shocked by his sudden burst of chakra gradually regained their senses. The people on Konoha's side were fine, only feeling that with such a strong combat power on their side, the probability of mission success had increased again. But what about the Iwa ninjas? Those Iwa-nin Jonin originally thought they had already overestimated Seimei's strength as much as possible, but unexpectedly, they still underestimated him. This made their hearts sink. Just based on the amount of chakra he displayed earlier, let alone ordinary Jonin, even among the elite Jonin, probably few had more chakra than him. Although people with a large amount of chakra might not necessarily be very strong, it was undeniable that only such people had the potential to become strong. And Seimei... Several Iwa-nin Jonin glanced at Kari's corpse in the distance and then at the two companions who had just been killed by Seimei nearby. There was no doubt that he was a true powerhouse! Several Iwa-nin Jonin exchanged glances, as if they had agreed on some secret signal. They suddenly burst out with all their strength, shaking off the attacks of the Nara clan and Yamanaka clan Jonin. Then, they charged forward, directly disengaging from the battle, and then used the Body Flicker Technique together, sprinting towards the other end of the corridor. If Seimei remembered correctly, that should be the direction leading to the exit of the underground space. Obviously, they were planning to escape. It made sense. He had already dealt with their opponents here, and it wouldn't be difficult to deal with them later, so it was no wonder they wanted to run! Although he understood this, it didn't mean that Seimei would let them go. Not to mention him, the Nara clan Jonin and the Yamanaka clan Jonin were the first to take action. One of them used the Shadow Gathering Technique, instantly transforming the shadow under his feet into dozens of slender, tangible tentacles, all grabbing towards the fleeing Iwa-nin Jonin. The other formed hand seals and used the Mind Body Switch Technique, transforming all his mental energy into a straight line and projecting it towards an Iwa-nin Jonin at an extremely fast speed. Then, they saw that Iwa-nin Jonin's footsteps faltered, and he suddenly took out a kunai and stabbed it into the chest of an Iwa-nin Jonin beside him. This Iwa-nin Jonin was caught off guard. Although he dodged in time, a deep wound was still left on his chest. Blood flowed out uncontrollably, instantly soaking his clothes. "Ah!" Suffering such a heavy injury, Fujita Eita was unprepared and immediately let out a cry of pain. He looked at the Iwa-nin Jonin in front of him and angrily said, "Mitsuki, what are you doing?" However, hearing Fujita Eita's question, 'Kusaka Mitsuki' didn't say anything and stabbed another kunai towards him. This time, prepared, Fujita Eita easily dodged it. At the same time, he also realized something was wrong. Looking closely at 'Kusaka Mitsuki's' eyes, the familiar feeling was gone. The way he looked at him now was like looking at a stranger. 'What's going on?' Fujita Eita was puzzled. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he immediately looked back at the Yamanaka clan Jonin and saw him leaning against the corridor wall, head lowered, as if asleep. "As expected!" Seeing this scene, Fujita Eita immediately confirmed his guess. During the previous battle, he had already deduced his identity based on the Yamanaka clan Jonin's techniques. As one of Konoha's major clans, there was a lot of information about the Yamanaka clan circulating in the ninja world. Fujita Eita knew very well that the Yamanaka clan had a secret technique that could control others. Now, seeing his state and combined with 'Kusaka Mitsuki's' abnormal behavior, how could he not understand that Kusaka Mitsuki had been controlled by him? In fact, it was indeed the case. The person currently controlling Kusaka Mitsuki's body was the Yamanaka clan Jonin. And the method of controlling him was precisely the Yamanaka clan's Mind Transfer Technique. Because the target was a Jonin, to ensure success in one attempt, the Yamanaka clan Jonin didn't choose the safer Mind Body Disturbance Technique but instead gathered all his mental energy and used the Mind Body Switch Technique. In this way, he suppressed Kusaka Mitsuki's mind in one fell swoop and forcibly occupied his body. Of course, he dared to do this because there were no enemies nearby, and Seimei was not far away; otherwise, he wouldn't dare to take the risk. After all, on the battlefield, leaving one's body unconscious was a very dangerous thing. "Damn it!" Looking at 'Kusaka Mitsuki,' who disregarded his own life and desperately tried to hurt him, Fujita Eita cursed in his heart. But curses aside, it was impossible for him to kill Kusaka Mitsuki. Not to mention that he had a good relationship with Kusaka Mitsuki and was unwilling to kill him, but this kind of control couldn't last for too long. As long as he endured this period, Kusaka Mitsuki would soon regain control of his body. By then, he would become his teammate again. However, him not wanting to kill Kusaka Mitsuki didn't mean that 'Kusaka Mitsuki' wouldn't try to kill him. Although the Yamanaka clan Jonin couldn't fully utilize the strength of this body because of the one-layer separation, his fearlessness towards injury was his greatest advantage. Therefore, despite being slightly weaker than Fujita Eita, he still suppressed him with his fearless nature. And this was Seimei's opportunity. Ignoring the three Iwa-nin Jonin entangled with the shadow tentacles, Seimei directly pounced on Fujita Eita. Seeing him coming, 'Kusaka Mitsuki' immediately launched a fiercer attack, and Seimei seized the opportunity to join in. Instantly, the pressure on Fujita Eita surged. At this point, he could no longer hold back and directly launched a fierce counterattack against the two. Unfortunately, his strength could only be considered excellent, perhaps slightly stronger than the average Jonin, but the strength was really limited. Even Seimei alone was confident in killing him. Not to mention that he also had the fearless 'Kusaka Mitsuki' cooperating with him, and before this, he was already injured, and his strength had dropped significantly. In this way, it was even simpler. The battle lasted less than two minutes before Seimei found a perfect opportunity and thrust out the short sword in his hand. This sword just happened to be in Fujita Eita's blind spot, and it was fast and fierce. By the time Fujita Eita sensed the danger, he could only barely avoid vital areas. *Slash* The sound of a blade cutting through flesh rang out. The short sword directly left a deep wound on Fujita Eita's left waist, almost reaching the bone. "Ugh~" Fujita Eita let out a muffled groan and retreated several steps. Seeing this, 'Kusaka Mitsuki's' eyes lit up, and he immediately recklessly approached, the kunai in his hand stabbing directly at Fujita Eita's chest. "Damn it!" Seeing the menacing 'Kusaka Mitsuki,' Fujita Eita cursed in his heart and had no choice but to flash backward again. However, at this moment, a chill struck his heart. Fujita Eita only felt a pain in his chest and looked down to see a bloodline slowly appearing. Immediately afterward, a wind blade tore through his clothes and shot out, leaving a slanted cut on the wall beside him. "This is..." Fujita Eita looked at the wind blade with wide eyes. Before he could finish his words, he was split in half along the bloodline. At this moment, he was still not dead. But the next moment, he heard a sound of something breaking through the air. A blood-stained kunai pierced through the air and precisely nailed into his heart, completely ending his life. (End of this chapter)
