Indeed, Seimei didn't know any hand-seal-free Earth Style techniques, and he hadn't even developed Earth attribute chakra. However, that didn't mean he had no other way to escape. The moment he was buried by the earth, he activated his Dojutsu - 'Amenotejikara', entering a brief state of invincibility. In this state, nothing in the ninja world could harm him. This naturally included Hayakawa Kaede's ninjutsu. What? You say he shouldn't expose his Mangekyo Sharingan? It's true that Seimei didn't want to expose his Mangekyo Sharingan casually, but that didn't mean he would hesitate when his life was at stake. Just now, being buried in the earth was a perfect opportunity. In that situation, even if he activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and used 'Amenotejikara', no one would notice. So, he naturally used it. He even had this idea when his opponent was preparing the ninjutsu. Of course, this didn't mean he predicted the specific ninjutsu his opponent would use, but rather that his opponent had been preparing for so long, it must be a powerful ninjutsu. And such ninjutsu usually caused a lot of commotion. And a big commotion meant he could fish in troubled waters. So, he didn't need to guess what specific ninjutsu his opponent would use, he just needed to know that the commotion his opponent would cause wouldn't be small. If not, he wouldn't have waited for his opponent to finish casting the jutsu. At that time, he was indeed restrained by another Kirigakure Jonin's 'Earth Style: Earth Spear', but if he really wanted to interrupt his opponent's casting, it wasn't impossible. Whether it was the 'Shadow Clone Technique' or other ninjutsu, there was a certain chance, or at the very least, he could move away from his opponent in advance. It could be said that his opponent was able to successfully cast this jutsu and envelop him in it entirely because he let his guard down. However, the result proved that his choice was not wrong. Thanks to the convenience of 'Amenotejikara', he easily bypassed his opponent and pierced his heart with a sword. "Pfft~" A mouthful of blood spurted from Hayakawa Kaede's mouth. Wasabi turned his head and saw this scene, his heart filled with terror. When he saw Seimei behind him, he was even more flustered. "You..." He wanted to say something, but as soon as the words left his mouth, Seimei in front of him disappeared, replaced by a pair of blood-red Sharingan that filled his vision. "Oh no, it's Genjutsu!" Realizing that he had fallen into Genjutsu due to his carelessness, Wasabi immediately mobilized the chakra in his body, attempting to dispel the Genjutsu. Unfortunately, it was too late. With a hiss, Seimei pulled the short sword out of Hayakawa Kaede's body, then with a gentle swing, slit Wasabi's throat. "Gasp... Gasp... Gasp..." The feeling of suffocation came, and Wasabi broke free from the Genjutsu, but he could only helplessly cover his throat, making a series of meaningless whimpers. Thump~ Thump~ Two consecutive sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground rang out as Hayakawa Kaede and Wasabi fell to the ground one after another. The vitality of ninjas was far stronger than that of ordinary people. Even with such serious injuries, the two persisted for quite a while before they completely lost their lives. Looking at the two corpses, Seimei wiped the blood flowing from under his left eye due to using 'Amenotejikara', then let out a long sigh of relief. So far, except for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the other three Kirigakure Jonin had all died at his hands. And the Kirigakure ninjas who saw this scene, whether they were Tokubetsu Jonin or Chunin, all had expressions of disbelief on their faces, and their morale plummeted. In contrast, the Konoha ninjas fighting them were all in high spirits. Although they were still at a disadvantage overall, they were no longer as desperate as they were just now. Whoosh~ He shook the blood off his blade. Seimei looked at the surrounding Kirigakure ninjas. Any ninja he noticed couldn't help but feel a sense of pressure. However, Seimei didn't attack them immediately. Instead, he turned his head to look at the three Jonin battlefields further away. First was Uchiha Shisui. At this time, he was still kiting his opponent. Jinpachi was very strong, and the 'Exploding Human Technique' was also very dangerous. However, under Uchiha Shisui's ingenious combination of Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, and Shunshinjutsu, he couldn't gain any advantage at all, and there was no need for him to worry. Next was the Captain. His opponent was Kurosuki Raiga, whose 'Lightning Blade: Kiba' could control lightning and was very terrifying for ordinary ninjas. But the Captain, with his Wind Style ninjutsu that was extremely effective against Lightning Style, plus his powerful Fire Style ninjutsu, withstood the pressure. He didn't need to worry about this one for now either. Only the Vice-Captain... Among the three, he was the weakest. Even though the 'Decapitating Carving Knife' didn't provide any combat bonuses, he still had a very difficult time facing Hozuki Mangetsu. At this time, he already had several wounds on his body. However, even so, Seimei had no intention of going to assist. He still had the same thought: if he didn't stabilize the entire battle situation and ensure that the Chunin didn't collapse, then the ones who would suffer in the end would definitely be the Jonin like them. So, before helping Uchiha Shisui and the others deal with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, he had to eliminate some of the Kirigakure Chunin and Tokubetsu Jonin to appropriately reduce some of the pressure on the Konoha ninjas. Only in this way could he feel at ease joining their battlefield. With this thought in mind, Seimei didn't linger any longer. His figure flashed continuously, and he rushed into the crowd. "Ah!" A painful scream came from a Kirigakure Chunin's mouth. But soon, his voice stopped abruptly. Seimei grabbed his neck, and the 'Chakra Absorption Technique' was activated. In just a few seconds, he drained his chakra. Then came the second person. Seimei did the same, first severely injuring him, then using the 'Chakra Absorption Technique' to extract his chakra. Just like that, Seimei's figure flashed continuously, and Kirigakure Chunin died one after another at his hands, also replenishing his chakra to over 40,000 points. It was also at this time that those Kirigakure Tokubetsu Jonin finally completed their encirclement, trapping him in one place. However, facing these people, Seimei wasn't afraid at all. He even had the leisure to count their numbers. "One, two, three..." Seeing Seimei acting so arrogantly, one of the Kirigakure Tokubetsu Jonin shouted "Kill!", and everyone pounced on Seimei together. Instantly, a great battle erupted. Facing the siege of these people, Seimei either swung his sword, used ninjutsu, or used Sharingan Genjutsu. In short, except for the Mangekyo Sharingan, he used all the means he could. Soon, the first casualty appeared. A Kirigakure Tokubetsu Jonin was caught by Seimei, who hit him in the abdomen with a 'Rasengan', instantly severely injuring him. Seeing this, the others paused for a moment, but soon they pounced again. And their attacks were even fiercer. However, Seimei was also fearless. With the powerful insight of the Sharingan, he dodged left and right, avoiding attacks time and time again. Then, amidst the siege of the Kirigakure Tokubetsu Jonin, he looked for opportunities to counterattack. (End of this chapter)
