"What?" Koharu Shuji exclaid in shock as he saw the nurous fireballs hurtling towards him. "How is he so fast?"
But there was no ti to ponder.
As the fireballs closed in, Koharu Shuji pushed off the ground and retreated, narrowly avoiding the attack.
As for the creature...
It sensed the danger and burrowed into the ground, disappearing.
Unable to sense its presence, Seii temporarily ignored it and focused on Koharu Shuji.
Before Koharu Shuji could regain his footing, Seii used the Body Flicker Technique to appear before him, thrusting his short sword towards his heart.
Caught off guard, Koharu Shuji could only swing his kunai to deflect Seii's attack.
*Slash*
The blade grazed Koharu Shuji's waist, leaving a deep wound. Blood gushed out, instantly soaking his clothes.
Enduring the pain, Koharu Shuji swung his kunai to counterattack.
However, before he could move, Seii had already anticipated his action and vanished from his sight.
Seeing this familiar scene, Koharu Shuji beca highly alert, trying to sense everything around him and be wary of attacks from his blind spots.
Seii had used this move multiple tis in their previous encounters, and Koharu Shuji had gained so experience dealing with it.
*Whoosh*
The sound of a blade piercing the air.
Koharu Shuji felt a chill down his spine. He quickly turned and retreated, raising his kunai to block Seii's sword strike.
"He'll probably disappear again and attack from my left or right," Koharu Shuji thought, observing Seii's feet and trying to predict his next move.
However, to his surprise, Seii didn't vanish as usual but remained in place.
"What's going on?"
Just as Koharu Shuji was puzzled, a sense of danger washed over him.
He looked up slightly and saw a pale blue chakra ball in Seii's left palm.
As a Jonin, he had good knowledge and imdiately recognized it as a high-density chakra sphere.
Being able to condense chakra to such a degree ant its destructive power was definitely not weak.
"I can't take this head-on!" Koharu Shuji concluded instantly.
He pushed off the ground and retreated rapidly.
However, Seii pursued relentlessly, his left hand's Rasengan aid at Koharu Shuji's abdon.
At the critical mont, Koharu Shuji used the Substitution Jutsu.
*Boom*
Seii's left hand hit Koharu Shuji's position, but it only shattered the rock left behind by the Substitution Jutsu.
Koharu Shuji's eyelids twitched. He was glad he hadn't tried to block it; otherwise, he would have been severely injured.
Seii turned, locked onto Koharu Shuji's new location, and was about to give chase.
But at that mont, the creature suddenly erged from the ground in front of him, lunging at him.
Seii ducked, avoiding the creature's bite.
As the creature flew over his head, Seii raised his sword to attack.
But then, the creature twisted its body, and its thick-scaled tail whipped towards him.
From the whistling sound, Seii knew he couldn't withstand this attack.
He jumped up with all his might, leaving his original spot.
*Crack*
The creature's tail slamd into the ground, creating a crack. The force behind the attack was imnse.
Seii's eyes twitched slightly. He quickly ford hand seals and used the Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu, launching a massive fireball at the creature.
The creature couldn't dodge in ti and curled up, using its tail to protect its relatively soft abdon and head, relying on the thick scales on its back to resist the attack.
*Boom*
The fireball hit the creature and exploded.
The powerful shockwave sent the creature flying, crashing heavily onto the ground.
*Hiss, hiss, hiss*
The creature writhed and scread in pain, its body engulfed in flas.
Seeing this, Seii didn't hesitate. He imdiately started forming hand seals for a second attack.
But at that mont, a sense of crisis arose.
Seii glanced at Koharu Shuji and saw a wind blade forming in front of him, then flying straight towards Seii.
The wind blade was incredibly fast. Seii didn't have ti to think. He turned his body and spat out the fireball he was about to unleash towards the incoming attack.
*Whoosh*
The sound of air being torn apart.
The fireball was sliced in half by the wind blade before it could travel far. Its internal structure was disrupted, and it exploded into a cloud of chakra, dissipating.
The wind blade, almost unaffected, continued towards Seii.
The three tomoe in Seii's Sharingan spun rapidly, locking onto the wind blade's trajectory. He lunged to the side.
*Slash*
Blood splattered.
The wind blade grazed his left arm, leaving a deep wound that exposed bone.
Seii's eyes turned cold, but instead of attacking Koharu Shuji, he charged towards the creature with his sword.
He realized that this creature was the biggest obstacle to defeating Koharu Shuji. If he didn't kill it, it would continue to interfere.
In that case, he wouldn't hold back.
The creature was currently in a weakened state after his previous attack, presenting a perfect opportunity.
"Chika!" Koharu Shuji shouted anxiously.
Hearing his master's voice, the creature endured the pain and tried to flee.
As for burrowing...
Seii was already close, leaving it no chance to do so.
Seeing the creature running on its six legs, Seii quickly took out his remaining kunai, wrapped them with explosive tags, and threw them.
With his mastered Shuriken Throwing Technique and the Sharingan's prediction, Seii easily landed the kunai where he wanted them.
As the creature ran, a kunai suddenly appeared on a tree trunk in front of it.
Seeing the burning explosive tag, the creature quickly changed direction, attempting to run to the right.
However, as soon as it turned its head, it saw another kunai with an explosive tag.
The creature was startled and changed direction again.
But it was t with yet another kunai and another burning explosive tag.
*Hiss*
The creature let out a terrified scream as all three explosive tags detonated simultaneously.
Three loud booms echoed, and the creature was blasted backward.
While it was still dazed, a short sword pierced its right eye and penetrated its brain.
*Screech*
The creature let out a painful cry and shook its head violently, throwing Seii off.
Mid-air, Seii pulled out his short sword.
Brain matter and blood splattered from the creature's wound.
In this state, there was no chance of survival.
