"Captain, what should we do next?" As Seimei was pondering, Yamanaka Kiku's voice rang out again. Hearing this, Seimei thought for a moment and said, "You guys immediately organize people to build a second line of defense, and also send someone to report the situation here to Jonin Yuino." "What about the Four-Tails Jinchuriki?" Yamanaka Kiku asked again. From his voice, Seimei could easily hear the fear within. 'It seems it's impossible to have them face him head-on. I can only do it myself.' Thinking this, Seimei said, "Leave him to me. You guys take care of your own tasks and don't engage him in direct combat for now. I'll be back soon." "Yes, Captain!" Hearing Seimei's answer, Yamanaka Kiku secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then canceled the connection. Seimei stood in place, starting to think about the specific action strategy for what to do next. Firstly, he didn't have to pursue killing the opponent. One, he couldn't do it, and two, there was no need. As long as the situation here was reported, he believed that Namikaze Minato would rush over soon, and then this trouble could be completely handed over to him. Seimei's consistent principle was to only take on tasks within his capabilities and not do anything unnecessary or beyond his abilities. Since Namikaze Minato's main purpose for being transferred here was to confront the Four-Tails and Five-Tails Jinchuriki, there was no need for him to show off. To be honest, it was already somewhat risky for him to take action now. If he hadn't considered that it wouldn't be justifiable to abandon the position without doing anything, he really wanted to just leave. Fortunately, this risk was controllable. He could consider it as doing Namikaze Minato a small favor. Thinking this, Seimei went straight to the left, rushing towards the Iwa ninja troops. He was already taking a detour, and his current position happened to be in the middle of the Iwa ninjas' left flank. Now, by cutting across, he could directly divide their forces. That's right, Seimei didn't plan to directly confront Roshi. There were two reasons for this. Firstly, the distance was too far, and it would be too late to go there now. Secondly, fighting him one-on-one was too risky. It was better to disrupt the situation and fight him amidst the Iwa ninjas. This way, he would have some scruples when using Lava Release ninjutsu. At the same time, doing this could also force the opponent to come back for support. In the entire Iwa ninja troop, apart from him, no one was Seimei's match. As long as he was careful not to be surrounded by multiple people, he could easily inflict heavy casualties on the Iwa ninjas. In this way, as long as Roshi didn't want to end up as a lone commander, he would have to come back for support. And at that time, he could fight and approach the opponent at the same time. This way, moving towards each other would definitely be much faster than him unilaterally chasing the opponent. ... One minute later. Seimei saw the Iwa ninja troops. At this time, they were rapidly gathering towards the mountaintop. Seimei didn't waste any words and immediately threw out several shuriken. *Whoosh whoosh whoosh~* A series of breaking air sounds rang out. Immediately afterward, there were the screams of Iwa ninjas. To create chaos, Seimei deliberately aimed at the Genin. Coupled with the surprise attack, those people couldn't react at all and were hit on the spot. "Enemy attack!" "Be careful! There's an enemy!" "Where?" "..." Noisy voices rose from the field. Just as Seimei expected, the sudden attack immediately caused chaos in the Iwa ninja ranks. 'But this is not enough!' Seimei thought to himself. Once those Iwa-nin Jonin reacted and started organizing people for defense, this chaos would quickly subside. This was something Seimei didn't want to see. Therefore, after throwing those shuriken, he used his skillful techniques to conceal himself, using the trees in the forest as cover, and quickly approached an Iwa-nin Jonin. Through the Sharingan's observation and based on the amount of chakra in the opponent's body, Seimei was basically certain that he was just a Tokubetsu Jonin. Although he didn't know what the opponent specialized in, his strength definitely wouldn't be too strong. He was just suitable for creating even greater chaos. "Everyone, quiet!" Yamamoto Kenichi, seeing the panicked crowd, stepped forward and shouted sternly. "Next..." After everyone quieted down, Yamamoto Kenichi was about to instruct everyone to prepare for defense when he suddenly saw a few people in front of him looking behind him with fear. Instantly, an ominous premonition arose in his heart. Followed by a suffocating sense of crisis. Almost without any hesitation, Yamamoto Kenichi lunged forward, leaving his original spot. *Whoosh* A short sword brushed past his head. A burning sensation came, and Yamamoto Kenichi saw a piece of his scalp flying out with blood. He instantly knew that he had just walked back from the gates of death. This made him feel a lingering fear, and at the same time, he wondered who the enemy was, who could silently approach him from behind. "Eh!" Seeing Yamamoto Kenichi dodge his carefully planned attack, Seimei was surprised and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation. However, surprise was surprise, but the attack had to continue. Seimei quickly raised his left hand, instantly completed the hand seals, opened his mouth, and used the ninjutsu - Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique! A huge fireball shot out, directly smashing towards Yamamoto Kenichi, who had his back to him. Sensing the danger approaching from behind, Yamamoto Kenichi quickly scanned his surroundings, his gaze lingering on a large tree in the front right for a moment. Immediately, he stomped his feet on the ground, and his whole body shot out like a cannonball, instantly hiding behind that tree. Seimei controlled the fireball to chase after him and fiercely smashed it onto the tree. With a "boom," the fireball exploded, and crimson flames instantly engulfed the entire tree. *Cough cough cough~* A coughing sound rang out, and a charred figure stumbled out from behind the tree. Who else could it be but Yamamoto Kenichi? The next moment, Seimei's figure appeared, instantly arriving in front of him. The short sword in his hand swung out, precisely cutting his throat. However, no blood flowed out, and Seimei's movement paused imperceptibly. At this moment, a sense of crisis arose. He saw a kunai rapidly thrust out from behind the tree on the side, aiming directly at Seimei's neck. "Die!" From behind the tree, the charred Yamamoto Kenichi shouted loudly. However, the fear and unwillingness he expected to see on the enemy's face didn't appear. What entered his sight was only an indifferent face and a pair of blood-red Sharingan. The next moment, these Sharingan occupied his entire vision, pulling his consciousness into the abyss. Seimei raised his hand and effortlessly grabbed the opponent's wrist, then pressed it downward, reversing the kunai's direction and piercing it through the opponent's heart. Suffering this fatal blow, Yamamoto Kenichi woke up from the genjutsu. He looked down at the kunai embedded in his heart, then looked at Seimei, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a single word. The next moment, he lost his life, and the figure in front of Seimei turned into a cloud of chakra smoke and dissipated. Obviously, this was a shadow clone. To be fair, Yamamoto Kenichi's reaction was still very fast. He could even think of a plan to lure and counterattack at the critical moment. If it were an ordinary person, they might have really fallen for his trick. But Seimei was different. Although the Sharingan couldn't distinguish the authenticity of shadow clones, the sudden halving of the opponent's chakra was too obvious. Therefore, he immediately guessed the opponent's tactic. So, he played along and instantly completed the counter-kill. "Captain!" "Captain Yamamoto!" "..." Only then did those Iwa-nin Chunin and Genin react and call out one after another.
