Chapter 53: Quick Resolution

Seimei looked at Yamanaka Ichiryo, who had closed his eyes again to sense the surroundings, with an expressionless face, and thought to himself, "I hope you don't associate this with the Sharingan, or even if you do, don't say it out loud, otherwise..." Strangely, Yamanaka Ichiryo felt a chill and instinctively moved his body slightly away from Seimei. A moment later, Yamanaka Ichiryo opened his eyes and said, "There are two enemy teams, one team is guarding the two-story building in front, and the other is hiding underground. Both are standard Genin teams." A standard Genin team consisted of one Chunin and three Genin. In addition, there were also Chunin teams and Jonin teams. The former was usually composed of one Tokubetsu Jonin and three Chunin, or four Chunin, and was generally used to perform missions with a difficulty level of around B-rank. Just like their team and the mission they were currently undertaking. During the mission, there might be a high possibility of engaging in combat with enemy ninja, but it usually wouldn't involve Jonin. As for the latter... Its composition was somewhat complex. Depending on the difficulty of the mission, it was usually led by one or two Jonin, plus several elite Chunin. In more extreme situations, it was not ruled out that the team would be entirely composed of Jonin. However, such missions were usually assigned to an elite Jonin to execute. After all, every Jonin was a pillar of the village, and having them team up for missions was too wasteful. It was estimated that only during wartime would such a situation frequently occur. Otherwise, Jonin generally wouldn't team up with other Jonin. The topic had digressed. Since there were only two Genin teams inside, there was nothing to worry about, and they could quickly resolve the situation. Seimei's thoughts were also the thoughts of everyone else. So, without much hesitation, the four of them rushed into the building in front. Whoosh whoosh whoosh~ More than ten kunai shot towards them rapidly. "Leave it to me!" Seimei shouted in a low voice, took a big step forward, and with a clang, drew a short blade from his waist. Then came the clanging sound of metal colliding. In the blink of an eye, all the incoming kunai were knocked down by Seimei, not affecting the four of them in the slightest. Yamanaka Ichiryo and the others fully trusted Seimei's strength, and before the kunai even landed, they all rushed out. The next moment, the sounds of fighting came. Inside the small building, four Iwa ninja were struggling to resist the sudden attack of three Konoha Chunin. Seimei looked around, made sure there was no one else hiding, and immediately launched an attack on the only Iwa Chunin in the field. The Iwa Chunin only felt a blur before his eyes, and Seimei had arrived in front of him. "So fast!" The Iwa Chunin was secretly surprised. However, Seimei didn't care what he thought. After getting close, he raised his hand and slashed. This slash was as fast as lightning, leaving only a cold gleam in the air. The Iwa Chunin's expression changed slightly, and he instinctively raised his kunai to block in front of him. Clang~ A crisp metal clashing sound rang out. The Iwa Chunin only felt his arm go numb, and the kunai almost flew out of his hand. It was a hasty defense after all, and the force wasn't that strong. It was also because Seimei was still a child, and his strength was slightly weaker than that of an adult, otherwise, he could definitely slash away the opponent's kunai with one strike. However, this wasn't important. After a brief stalemate, Seimei suddenly twisted his wrist, changing his short blade from a slash to an upward thrust, diagonally aiming at the opponent's face. Seeing this, the Iwa Chunin quickly leaned back. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Konoha Chunin who had just fought with him suddenly threw his kunai, aiming directly at the opponent's chest and abdomen. Sensing the danger, the Iwa Chunin immediately twisted his waist, trying to avoid the kunai's attack. But he was already unsteady on his feet at this moment, let alone dodging. In the end, the kunai grazed his body, leaving a deep wound on his waist. Blood dripped down. As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. Seimei wouldn't show any mercy towards the enemy. A cold light flashed, and Seimei swung his blade again, attacking the Iwa Chunin. Clang~ Clang clang clang~ At first, the Iwa Chunin could keep up with his rhythm, but after a dozen moves, he couldn't anymore. The 'Konoha Flow Sword Technique' was not some trashy sword technique. It combined the advantages of many sword techniques, emphasizing "fast, accurate, and ruthless." Especially after Seimei had practiced it to lv3, he could use various sword moves effortlessly, making his attacks even stronger. Therefore, the Iwa Chunin in front of him couldn't block at all. Not to mention there was another Konoha Chunin launching sneak attacks from the side. So, after just over thirty moves, Seimei seized the opportunity and thrust the short blade in his hand into the chest of the Iwa Chunin in front of him. Puchi~ The sound of the sharp blade piercing flesh rang out. The Iwa Chunin looked down at the short blade buried deep in his chest, his kunai slipped from his hand, his mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't utter a single word. Confirming the opponent's death, Seimei pulled out his short blade and looked around again. At this time, on the other two battlefields, the three Iwa Genin were also in a precarious situation. Seimei was worried about accidents and didn't want to waste time, so he didn't stop and immediately charged towards one of the Iwa Genin with his blade. Similarly, the Konoha Chunin who had assisted him earlier also attacked another Iwa Genin. Three against four, and the enemy's strength was stronger than theirs. How should they fight? The three Iwa Genin were filled with despair. In their desperation, they erupted with considerable fighting power. But it was of no use. In less than two minutes, all three Iwa Genin fell to the ground. Seimei and the others quickly cleaned up the battlefield, replenished their shuriken and kunai, and immediately asked, "Where's the entrance to the underground?" "This way." Yamanaka Ichiryo didn't waste any words and immediately stepped forward to lead the way. The four of them passed through the first-floor hall and came to a corridor inside. Yamanaka Ichiryo scanned the door numbers on both sides, compared them with the memories in his mind, and finally locked onto a room marked 107, saying, "The entrance is in this room." Pushing open the door, a burst of air-piercing sounds came. The four of them immediately dodged to the sides. Thump thump thump~ More than ten kunai flew out and embedded themselves in the opposite door. Just then, a "sizzling" sound came. The four of them looked towards the sound and saw several explosive tags burning intensely. Finally, some expressions appeared on their faces, but none of them panicked too much. The reason was that before coming here, they had already considered the possibility of an enemy ambush. After all, although the previous battle ended quickly, it wasn't without any动静. It was normal for the other Iwa ninja team to notice. So, whether it was encountering an ambush upon opening the door or seeing these explosive tags, the four of them didn't make a fuss. And with preparation, it wasn't that difficult to dodge. Almost instantly, the four of them distanced themselves from room 107. Then, they casually pushed open the doors on both sides and slipped inside. Boom~ boom~ boom~ Several explosions rang out in succession. Crimson flames, accompanied by a powerful shockwave, quickly spread along the corridor in both directions.
