Chapter 63: Targeted

"Kill!" Just as the ninjas from both sides were confronting each other, someone shouted, and the battle instantly broke out. First, dozens of Konoha ninjas near the Iwa-nin troops threw the kunai in their hands, but due to the lack of surprise, they were easily dodged by the Iwa-nin and failed to cause any effective damage. Immediately afterwards, the Iwa-nin's counterattack came. They quickly completed the hand seals and spat out stones from their mouths. The stones were relatively small at first, but as the flight distance increased, their size became larger and larger, and soon they turned into solid cannonballs, smashing towards the Konoha ninjas. This technique was called 'Earth Release: Rock Bullet Technique'. It was a fairly basic ninjutsu. When performed by one person, its power might not be that great. But with a large number of people, it was like a meteor shower, and the threat was greatly increased. Fortunately, the Konoha ninjas who were arranged in the front defense zone were all very good, and no one was seriously injured because of this. After a round of confrontation, both sides confirmed that the other party was not easy to deal with, so they simply gave up the meaningless consumption and started close combat. Soon, the field became chaotic, with explosions, shouts, screams, and the clashing of weapons. All kinds of sounds were endless. Seimei was still paying attention to the battle ahead. Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound, like the sound of bees flapping their wings. "Bees?" Seimei's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a human-head-sized bee flying rapidly from afar, followed by a large group of slightly smaller bees. Almost without thinking, Seimei knew that these bees were artificially cultivated. Not to mention that bees in nature couldn't grow this big, even if they could, their instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages would make them stay away from the battlefield. What's more, there happened to be a clan in Iwagakure Village that used bees to fight. The situation matched perfectly, and it was hard for Seimei not to guess the answer. Seimei's eyes scanned around, and he quickly locked onto an Iwa-nin wearing a Jonin uniform. The other party was short and ugly, and looked somewhat similar to a bee. Of course, this was not the key. The key was that there was a giant bee with a body length of two meters beside him, which looked extremely ferocious. This person's perception was extremely sharp. Seimei was discovered by him just after looking at him a few times. Seeing Seimei on the treetop and the Uchiha clan symbol on him, Akabane suddenly revealed a ferocious smile, and then controlled the bee swarm to fly towards Seimei. Seeing this, Seimei quickly jumped off the treetop, preparing to move to the rear. However, the flying speed of these bees was extremely fast, and before he could run a few steps, they caught up with him. Immediately afterwards, they raised their buttocks, flicked them vigorously, and shot out their stingers. If it were ordinary bees, shooting out the stinger would mean death, but these bees were different. The stinger was just one of their attack methods. Whoosh whoosh whoosh~ Dense bee stings shot over. Seimei didn't dare to resist head-on, so he dodged to the side of a big tree. He only heard a "dong dong dong" sound, and countless bee stings pierced the other side of the trunk, failing to cause any harm to Seimei. But before he could catch his breath, accompanied by a "buzzing" sound, a large group of bees flew out from both sides of the trunk, surrounding him. Seeing this, Seimei didn't hesitate at all. He immediately formed hand seals and performed the ninjutsu - Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique before the opponent shot out their stingers. Groups of flames flew out of his mouth, like scattered flowers, burning towards the bee swarm. Although these bees were much stronger than the bees bred in nature, they still hadn't escaped the category of carbon-based organisms. Therefore, when encountering flames, they could only dodge. But was Seimei's ninjutsu so easy to dodge? The answer was obviously no. Even without opening the Sharingan to assist, with Seimei's current level of chakra control and proficiency in the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique', it was enough to control these fireballs and carry out precise attacks on the bee swarm. Bang~ Bang~ Bang~ A burst of cracking sounds came, and a large number of bees were roasted by the high temperature, their bodies swelled, and finally turned into puddles of corpses emitting a burnt smell. "Boy, you're courting death!" Feeling the number of bees rapidly decreasing, Akabane's eyes were bloodshot, and he screamed sharply. The next moment, he controlled the giant bee beside him, carrying a larger swarm of bees, and surrounded Seimei. At the same time, the surviving bees also turned around, aimed their mouthparts at Seimei, and sprayed out sticky honey. Seimei didn't dare to let the honey stick to his body, so he dodged. Fortunately, Seimei had practiced the 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' to lv3, and his movements were much more flexible than ordinary ninjas, otherwise he might have been hit. However... Seimei looked at the huge swarm of bees rapidly approaching in the distance and knew that he had to reduce the number of bees as soon as possible, otherwise it would be even more troublesome when they gathered together. After thinking about it, Fire Release was still the most effective. Avoiding another round of bee sting attacks, while running, Seimei completed the hand seals, opened his mouth, and spit out fireballs again. Seeing this, Akabane hurriedly controlled the bees to dodge, but unfortunately, Seimei's ninjutsu proficiency was very high, and not all bees could dodge. In the end, another large group of bees were burned to charcoal and fell down. Seeing this scene, Akabane's eyes became even redder. If there were no tomoe in them, Seimei would have thought that the other party was about to open the Sharingan. Of course, this was just a joke. Seeing that the swarm of bees was getting closer and closer to him, Seimei quickly found an opportunity to use the 'Body Flicker Technique' to distance himself. Then, he once again used the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique' to slaughter the chasing bees. As the saying goes, one trick, eat all over the sky. Since the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique' was useful, then Seimei would naturally look for opportunities to continue using it. Therefore, in the next half minute, Seimei used the cover of the trees in the forest to dodge the bee swarm's attacks while looking for opportunities to perform ninjutsu to counterattack. In the end, before the two large swarms of bees joined together, he eliminated most of the bees that approached him first. But that was it. Akabane, controlling the giant bee, had surrounded him with the bee swarm. It had to be said that although this insect user clan, which was once as famous as the Aburame clan, had declined, they still had some tricks up their sleeves. Several times Seimei was about to break out of the encirclement, but he was stopped by the opponent controlling the bee swarm, and the losses were minimized. This made Seimei feel a little uncomfortable. Looking at the dense bees around him, Seimei smiled bitterly in his heart and thought to himself: "Next, I can only improvise..." A gap opened in the encirclement, and Akabane walked in with a gloomy face. Looking at Seimei who was on full alert, he gritted his teeth and said: "Uchiha boy, you killed so many of my bees, tell me, how should I deal with you?" 'Uchiha' Hearing the surname that the other party specifically mentioned, Seimei glanced at the Uchiha clan symbol on his body, and then thought of the reason for the decline of the Kamizuru clan. He immediately understood that the other party was transferring his hatred for the Aburame clan to all the Konoha clans. 'In that case, maybe I can try to provoke him.' This thought suddenly popped up in Seimei's mind. If it were other Iwa-nin Jonin, he wouldn't dare to do this. But a Jonin whose main attack method was controlling bees, and most likely a special Jonin, then he didn't have much to worry about. If he could complete the beheading, then the surrounding bees would not be a threat.
