The two sides met. Namikaze Minato noticed that Seimei's group was missing two people. Although he already had a guess in his mind, he couldn't help but ask, "Where are Taisei and Haruka?" "They sacrificed." Seimei replied bluntly. Hearing this, Namikaze Minato sighed softly and then asked about the mission's progress. The Nara clan Jonin directly answered, "All the predetermined targets have been eliminated." "All targets have been dealt with?" Namikaze Minato seemed a bit surprised by this answer and confirmed it. "Yes." The Nara clan Jonin nodded and then glanced at Seimei, saying, "It's all thanks to Jonin Seimei." Hearing this, Namikaze Minato looked at Seimei with slight surprise. Although he had heard of Seimei's "Ghost Sword" title and knew some of his past achievements, In the past few days, Seimei had mainly focused his energy on strengthening his body. To save unnecessary chakra consumption, he hadn't had any head-on clashes with the Iwa-nin Jonin. This led to his achievements in this battle not being very eye-catching. Additionally, he had been staying on the western mountain, so Namikaze Minato instinctively doubted his true strength. It wasn't that he looked down on Seimei or anything, but rather, it was the necessary quality of a ninja to maintain a certain degree of skepticism towards anything they hadn't personally witnessed. But... Now it seemed that his doubts were unnecessary. Seimei's strength was even greater than rumored. 'No wonder Nara Shikaku strongly recommended Seimei before the official meeting!' Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Namikaze Minato quickly put them aside. He looked at the four and said, "Seimei! Hi! You two wait here for a moment. I'll send Chiaki and Kiyokaze back and return immediately." As he spoke, he took out a special kunai and stuck it on the wall. Seimei and Yamanaka Hi understood his intention and nodded. Seeing this, Namikaze Minato didn't waste any more words. He placed his hands on Hyuga Chiaki and Nara Kiyokaze's shoulders and then activated the Flying Thunder God Technique. The next moment, the three of them disappeared. Even with Seimei's full perception, he didn't detect any abnormalities. Namikaze Minato and the other two simply vanished into thin air before his eyes. Seimei's heart sank, and he thought to himself, "It seems my spatial perception ability is quite ordinary!" It was important to know that his learning goals included the Flying Thunder God Technique. If his spatial perception ability wasn't up to par, he might not even be able to get started. Now, Seimei could only hope that the proficiency panel could overcome this difficulty; otherwise, it would be quite troublesome. 'No, when I teleport later, I need to fully open my perception. Maybe I'll gain something...' Just as he was thinking this, Namikaze Minato's figure reappeared next to the kunai. Seeing this scene, Seimei once again felt a hint of envy. If he also had this ability, there would be so many things he could do. "Alright, it's your turn." Namikaze Minato pulled out the kunai stuck in the wall, put it into his ninja tool pouch, looked at Seimei and Yamanaka Hi, and said gently. "Okay." Hearing this, Seimei and Yamanaka Hi responded, indicating they were ready. Immediately, Namikaze Minato used the Body Flicker Technique to appear behind Seimei and Yamanaka Hi, placing his hands on their shoulders. Seemingly sensing that Seimei's body was a bit tense, Namikaze Minato said softly, "Relax, don't be nervous!" Hearing this, Seimei nodded slightly, and his body relaxed a bit. Just now, it was just an instinctive reaction. He wasn't used to people standing behind him, especially such a powerful figure. However, now, to leave safely, he could only endure it for a while. And just as he relaxed, the next moment, his vision blurred, and when he reappeared, he was already standing in Kaze no Sato. 'What's going on?' Seeing the familiar surroundings, Seimei was full of questions. He hadn't felt anything yet, but he had already reached his destination. 'Hey, do you have to be so fast? At this speed, and you want me to sense something? Sense my ass!' Seimei complained crazily in his heart. However, after complaining, he started to recall the process of his vision blurring just now. This kind of situation usually occurred when the nerve reaction speed couldn't keep up with the sudden change in the surrounding environment, leading to an illusion. It was like the afterimage left by a high-level ninja using the Body Flicker Technique or the Substitution Technique in front of a low-level ninja. This was a typical case of reaction not keeping up. But his Sharingan was activated the whole time! In terms of reaction speed, it was countless times higher than that of an ordinary Jonin! Even with that, after the teleportation, his vision still blurred, although the duration was very short, it did happen. This meant that his nerve reaction just now didn't keep up with the sudden change in the surrounding scenery. But what about Namikaze Minato? He definitely didn't have this situation. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to use the Flying Thunder God Technique in battle. It was important to know that even if this blurred vision lasted for a very short time, it was a huge opening in a duel between experts. But Namikaze Minato could use it freely, which meant that he was definitely not bothered by this at all. In other words, his nerve reaction speed was even higher than his with the three-tomoe Sharingan activated, even far surpassing it. "Hiss~" Thinking of this, Seimei couldn't help but gasp. At this moment, he finally had a clearer understanding of Kage-level combat power. With Namikaze Minato's reaction speed, let alone hitting him, it would probably be a problem for ordinary people to even touch him. Even Jonin were no exception. From this, it was not difficult to understand why Uchiha Itachi, after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, was able to massacre most of the Uchiha clan. The gap between Kage-level combat power and ordinary ninjas was simply too great! Of course, there was also the Mangekyo Sharingan's suppression of ordinary Sharingan; otherwise, the Uchiha clan ninjas wouldn't have been unable to even resist. Thinking of this, Seimei couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement because in at most a month, he would also obtain such power. And with Kage-level strength, he could truly establish a foothold in the ninja world. By then, he wouldn't have to care too much about others' opinions when doing things. However, the blindness problem of the Mangekyo Sharingan was also troublesome. He wondered if the "Reflecting Heart Technique" could solve this problem. Although there were some hidden worries in his heart, Seimei wasn't too concerned. Compared to others, he at least had the proficiency panel as a backup. By then, even if the Reflecting Heart Technique didn't work, he could find other ways. Seimei didn't believe that without a brother, his Mangekyo Sharingan really couldn't evolve into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. "Alright, we've arrived." While Seimei was pondering, Namikaze Minato's voice came from behind. Immediately afterward, Seimei felt the other party's hand leave his shoulder, which made his body instinctively relax, and his muscles were no longer tense. (End of this chapter)
