Kurogane and the other four Iwa-nin Jonin, with the help of the Iwa-nin Chunin and Genin, managed to break free from the entanglement of their Konoha Jonin opponents and arrived at Kurokawa Ichiro's side. During this time, those Konoha Jonin still wanted to intercept, but under Seimei's signal, they all gave up the pursuit and instead focused on dealing with the Iwa-nin Chunin and Genin on the field. And on Seimei's side, a total of six Iwa-nin Jonin had gathered. However, among these six, only Kurokawa Ichiro and the one named Kurogane were true Jonin, while the other four were Tokubetsu Jonin. Overall, their strength was slightly stronger than Kamihara Nobunaga and the others, but not by much. At the very least, after their entanglement with the Konoha Jonin, their condition wasn't great, and some even had obvious injuries. Seimei had enough confidence to deal with these people. And this was also the reason why he had those Konoha Jonin give up on obstructing them. Earlier, he had already killed quite a few Iwa-nin Chunin and Genin. Next, as long as he defeated these people, the Iwa ninjas' morale would immediately collapse. At that time, they could declare victory. With this thought, Seimei looked at the six people gradually surrounding him, his eyes changing, his blood-red Sharingan filled with coldness. Being stared at like this, the Iwa-nin Jonin all felt a chill in their hearts. However, they were, after all, strong individuals who had crawled out from mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The six of them weren't intimidated by his murderous gaze. On the contrary, when Seimei looked at them, the six of them launched an attack. Two of them threw the kunai in their hands, aiming directly at Seimei's vital points. Another two worked together to use the Earth Release: Earth Spear Technique, controlling earth spikes to emerge from the ground, sealing off Seimei's movement. As for the remaining two... Kurokawa Ichiro formed hand seals and used an unknown Fire Release ninjutsu, condensing six fireballs the size of human heads, smashing them towards Seimei from different directions. Kurogane's body suddenly turned grayish-brown, and then his entire being, like a cannonball, shot towards Seimei, throwing a punch at him. However, despite the numerous incoming attacks, Seimei didn't show any panic. The Sharingan in his eyes spun rapidly, instantly taking in everything in front of him, and his brain worked at high speed. At this moment, his nerve reactions were pushed to the limit, instantly judging the trajectories of these attacks and their possible subsequent changes. Based on this information, his figure flickered continuously, dodging the kunai attacks and evading the surprise attack of the earth spikes from the ground. The fireballs controlled by Kurokawa Ichiro were also intercepted and exploded by the dense fireballs condensed from the Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique that Seimei used midway. As for the last one, Kurogane... He had obviously used some kind of Earth Release ninjutsu to change the structure and density of his body. Seimei didn't want to clash head-on with him, so he raised his hand and used the Genjutsu: Sharingan, freezing him in place. Everything seemed to take a long time to describe, but it actually happened in an instant. And in this instant, Seimei neutralized the joint attack of six Iwa-nin Jonin. After completing this, he didn't pause at all. His hands rapidly formed seals, and he skillfully used the ninjutsu - Wind Release: Wind Blade. Instantly, a meter-long wind blade flew out, aiming directly at Kurogane, who was frozen in place. The reason for attacking him was, firstly, that the opportunity was rare, and secondly, he wanted to test how strong the opponent's Earth Release defense was. However, when he saw Kurokawa Ichiro anxiously step forward and pull Kurogane away to avoid the wind blade, he roughly understood that the opponent probably couldn't withstand such an attack. Kurokawa Ichiro had witnessed the power of his Wind Release: Wind Blade, so his judgment shouldn't be wrong. However, to prevent the opponent from deliberately misleading him, before completely confirming this information, Seimei decided not to exploit this point unless necessary. And just as Kurokawa Ichiro moved, the other four Iwa-nin Jonin also moved. Once again, two of them used ninjutsu to seal his dodging space, and the other two launched attacks. Seimei's Sharingan kept spinning, and he nimbly dodged the ninjutsu attacks. Looking at the two Iwa-nin Jonin getting closer and closer to him, he suddenly drew his short sword. Then, he kicked off the ground with both feet, his entire body darting out like an arrow, arriving in front of the two in the blink of an eye. 'Genjutsu: Sharingan~' Because these two were partners and had teammates behind them, they didn't avoid Seimei's gaze. Therefore, Seimei easily found an opportunity to cast genjutsu. He raised his hand and used Genjutsu: Sharingan. One Iwa-nin Jonin was immediately affected and froze in place. The other Iwa-nin Jonin beside him sensed something was wrong and immediately thrust the kunai in his hand towards Seimei. The angle of this kunai strike was intended to both stop Seimei from approaching the affected Iwa ninja and force him to defend. Unfortunately, Seimei didn't act according to his intentions at all. He swung his sword, blocking the kunai attack, and at the same time, used the Illusion Sword Technique, causing the Iwa-nin Jonin to fall into a momentary daze. And seizing this opportunity, he condensed a light blue, high-density chakra ball in the palm of his left hand - the Rasengan. Then, he extended his left palm, and the Rasengan directly pressed against the Iwa-nin Jonin who was frozen in place by his Genjutsu: Sharingan. "What?" Seeing Seimei's movement, the Iwa-nin Jonin, who had just recovered from the Illusion Sword Technique, didn't have time to think and immediately swung his kunai again. Unfortunately, he was a step too late. It wasn't until Seimei pressed the Rasengan onto that person that his kunai barely touched Seimei. The Rasengan made contact and then separated. Seimei's body retreated, avoiding most of the damage, only leaving a cut on his chest from the kunai. *Boom* *Boom* Two ninjutsu attacks smashed over. Seimei tapped the ground with both feet, his figure flashing, dodging the attacks. The first exchange between the two sides ended here. Seimei severely injured an Iwa-nin Jonin at the cost of a kunai cut on his chest. That's right, severely injured. Although his Rasengan only made brief contact, the swirling and twisting force contained within it had already invaded the opponent's body, causing severe internal injuries. In the subsequent battle, he probably wouldn't be of much use. In other words, the Iwa side had lost one person. Kurokawa Ichiro, although displeased with this result, wasn't too disappointed. After all, Seimei was also not lightly injured. "Hmm?" Suddenly, his gaze towards Seimei froze. He saw Seimei quickly forming hand seals with both hands, using some unknown ninjutsu to infuse a mass of green chakra into his body, and the bleeding stopped. Not only that, but the injury on his chest also began to heal. Although the speed wasn't very fast, it wasn't slow either. At this rate, it would probably heal in a few minutes. This made Kurokawa Ichiro's face completely darken. No one would be happy to see their own side severely injured while the enemy was alive and kicking. ... (End of this chapter)
