It had to be said that learning the "Wind Release: Wind Blade" from Kohara Shuji was a wise choice. This technique was very suitable for ending battles, both in terms of its concealment and its offensive power. Just like that, he found an opportunity and directly killed Fujita Eita with a "Wind Release: Wind Blade." Seeing Fujita Eita's death, 'Kusaka Mitsuki' stopped and nodded at Seimei before running towards another battlefield. However, before he could go far, Seimei saw him stop again, and the expression on his face changed, as if two people were fighting for control of the body. How could Seimei not understand what was happening? It must be that the Yamanaka clan Jonin couldn't suppress Kusaka Mitsuki's spirit anymore, and the latter was fighting him for control of the body. The Yamanaka clan's Mind Body Switch Technique was originally used for intelligence gathering. The best choice was to occupy the body of a ninja one level lower than oneself. Only in this way could the effect of long-term control be achieved. And this Yamanaka clan Jonin? In order to delay the enemy's advance, he directly seized the body of a Jonin of the same level. Although he had gathered all his mental energy to be safe, the intense battle still awakened the original owner's spirit and consciousness. Of course, the main reason was that this body was too severely injured, and the survival instinct stimulated the original owner's spirit; otherwise, he wouldn't have lost control so quickly. As for where the injuries came from... Killing Fujita Eita in less than two minutes also came at a cost. To create an opportunity for Seimei, 'Kusaka Mitsuki' didn't make any defensive moves during the previous battle and was already riddled with wounds from Fujita Eita. It was only because the Yamanaka clan Jonin was in control. If it were Kusaka Mitsuki himself, he might have already lost his combat effectiveness due to the severity of his injuries. However, it seemed that he couldn't continue to control the body anymore. Just as Seimei was considering whether to eliminate him before he lost control, he suddenly saw 'Kusaka Mitsuki' take out an explosive tag from his ninja tool pouch and directly stick it to his chest. The next moment, Kusaka Mitsuki's expression became terrified. He reached out his hands to his chest, seemingly wanting to tear off the explosive tag. However, his two hands seemed to have their own ideas, fighting each other, preventing him from achieving his goal. And with this delay, the explosive tag reached its critical point, and the Yamanaka clan Jonin aptly released the technique, his spirit returning to his own body. "No--" Kusaka Mitsuki, regaining control of his body, only had time to let out a roar of unwillingness before his body was completely engulfed in flames. *Boom* A violent explosion sounded. The explosive tag that detonated at close range instantly took Kusaka Mitsuki's life. His body was thrown out by the shockwave like a broken sack. *Thud* Seimei looked at the殘破corpse that landed at his feet and thought to himself that he was truly miserable. Not only was he forced to attack his own companion, but he also 'committed suicide' at the last moment. If Seimei were him, he probably wouldn't rest in peace even in death. However, in the Pure Land, people's thoughts and emotions would cease, so there was no need to worry about him going crazy with anger. Shaking his head, Seimei gathered his thoughts and stopped thinking randomly. He glanced at the Yamanaka clan Jonin who had been sleeping against the wall earlier. As expected, he had already woken up. Therefore, Seimei no longer paid attention to him and instead leaped towards the three Iwa-nin Jonin who were entangled with the shadow tentacles. As long as these three were killed, their mission here would be completely accomplished. Then, as long as they waited for Namikaze Minato to finish off Kurogi Itto, their beheading operation this time would be a complete success. However, time was of the essence! Seimei estimated that many Iwa ninjas should be rushing here now. If they couldn't complete the mission and leave in a short time, there would be big trouble. *Clang clang clang* With Seimei joining, the pressure on these three Iwa-nin Jonin increased dramatically. Coupled with the harassment from the Yamanaka clan Jonin in the distance, they started to be overwhelmed. Soon, a Tokubetsu Jonin was the first to be unable to withstand it. Seimei found an opportunity and pierced his vital point in the back with an ordinary sword. Suffering such a heavy injury, the Tokubetsu Jonin vomited a large mouthful of blood, struggled for a moment, and then completely lost his life. *Tzing* Seimei pulled out his short sword without any pause. After killing this person, he immediately rushed towards the remaining two Iwa-nin Jonin. A few minutes later, the battle ended. One of them had half of his head sliced off by Seimei's "Wind Release: Wind Blade." The other was killed by the Nara clan Jonin using the Shadow Sewing Technique, controlling several shadow spikes to pierce through his body. At this point, their mission was complete. Just then, a rush of footsteps came. Hyuga Chiaki, covered in blood, appeared from the corner ahead, running towards them while hurriedly saying, "Enemy reinforcements have arrived." Hearing this, the Yamanaka clan Jonin immediately closed his eyes and began to sense the surroundings. Soon, he opened his eyes again, nodded at Seimei and the Nara clan Jonin, and said, "Indeed, many people are approaching." Hearing this, Seimei relaxed a bit, let Hyuga Chiaki come over, and immediately asked, "Can you find Minato Jonin's location?" Hyuga Chiaki, upon hearing this, didn't waste any words and directly activated her Byakugan, starting to search for Namikaze Minato's location. A few seconds later, her voice was filled with joy, "Found him, eh?" "What's wrong?" Noticing the sudden change in her tone, Seimei and the other two Jonin became nervous, fearing that something had gone wrong. Fortunately, it wasn't bad news. Hyuga Chiaki continued, "Minato Jonin seems to be approaching us." Hearing this, Seimei didn't hesitate and immediately said, "Chiaki, lead the way and move towards Minato Jonin immediately." "Understood." Hyuga Chiaki responded and was about to set off. At this time, Seimei suddenly asked, "What about Taisei and Haruka?" Noda Taisei and Murashige Haruka were the two Tokubetsu Jonin subordinates specializing in stealth and assassination on this mission. Hearing this, Hyuga Chiaki paused slightly and said, "They sacrificed." "Is that so..." Hearing Hyuga Chiaki's answer, Seimei pondered for a moment and didn't say more. He had actually anticipated their sacrifice, or rather, he was mentally prepared for the sacrifice of all three of them. It was important to know that although the three Jonin on their side had attracted a large portion of the enemy's high-end combat power, there were also many Iwa ninjas besieging Hyuga Chiaki and the other two. And these three were relatively ordinary Tokubetsu Jonin. Being besieged, the probability of sacrifice was not small. It was just that Hyuga Chiaki survived. Seimei didn't want to delve into how the weakest of them managed to survive. In that situation, being alive was already fortunate, there was no need to investigate further. Seeing that Seimei didn't ask any more questions, Hyuga Chiaki immediately ran forward, leading the three of them. (End of this chapter)
