Feeling the intense heat from the front, Gari didn't hesitate and dodged the fireball with a sideways dive.
But before he could stand up again, several faint whistling sounds ca from the air.
Although these sounds were barely noticeable in the rain, Gari, who was highly alert, still sensed the threat.
So, he did a backflip and narrowly avoided the attack.
Several kunai landed on the ground, making a sizzling sound.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this familiar sound, Gari's expression suddenly changed. He glanced to the front from the corner of his eye and saw an explosive tag burning fiercely on one of the kunai.
At the critical mont, Gari kicked off the ground, his entire body shooting out like a cannonball.
Boom~
A loud explosion sounded.
A burst of flas erupted, and a powerful shockwave rapidly spread out from the center of the explosion.
In mid-air, Gari was hit by this shockwave, and his speed of flying away increased even more.
Cough, cough, cough~
After landing, Gari coughed lightly, and a few drops of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, showing that he wasn't completely unscathed.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
A few more kunai were shot out.
"Again?"
Hearing the familiar whistling sound, Gari snorted coldly. His hands quickly ford seals, and then he slapped the ground. When he pulled his hands back up, a stone slab two ters square had appeared in front of him.
Clang, clang, clang~
The kunai hit the slab, making a crisp sound. Even when the explosive tags attached to them detonated afterward, they didn't cause any harm to Gari behind it.
Seeing this, Seii didn't even think. His hands quickly ford seals, and he opened his mouth, spitting out hundreds of fireballs, performing the 'Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique'.
Seii controlled these fireballs, dividing them into two groups, and flanking Gari from the left and right sides.
Seeing the fireballs flying towards him, Gari took a few leaps back, increasing the distance and dodging the attack.
At the sa ti, he didn't hold back either. While dodging, his hands quickly ford seals. The mont he landed, he slapped the ground, performing the ninjutsu - Earth Style: Mud Swamp Technique.
Instantly, the ground beneath Seii's feet, already wet from the rain, softened into mud, like a giant abyss trying to swallow him whole.
At the critical mont, Seii gathered chakra at the soles of his feet and leaped onto a nearby tree.
Then, he jumped again, landing on another tree before the first one was swallowed by the mud swamp.
However, this also gave Gari an opportunity.
Before Seii could stabilize himself, Gari threw several kunai, aiming directly at his vital points.
Fortunately, Seii's Sharingan was powerful, and in just an instant, he locked onto the flight paths of all the kunai.
Seii twisted his body, dodging all the kunai attacks within the smallest possible range.
For a mont, the battlefield seed to fall silent.
Seii and Gari, one standing on a tree, the other standing under the tree, about twenty ters apart, looked at each other from a distance, neither making a move.
Ti passed by.
The two continued their standoff.
At so point, the rain suddenly intensified, obscuring Seii's vision.
'An opportunity!'
Seeing this, Gari's heart stirred. His figure flickered, like an agile monkey, using the trees on both sides to charge directly at Seii.
Even though he was attacking upwards, it didn't take Gari long to cover the twenty-ter distance.
In almost the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Seii.
Gari threw a punch, and Seii dodged sideways. Gari's fist hit the tree trunk behind him.
Boom~
A loud explosion sounded.
The tree behind Seii snapped, and the scattered wood fragnts hit his cheeks, causing a stinging pain.
That wasn't all. Seeing his punch miss, Gari didn't hesitate and imdiately swung his left fist, aiming directly at Seii's abdon.
Feeling the massive explosive chakra condensed on his fist, Seii didn't dare to take it head-on. He kicked off the branch and fell towards the ground behind him.
Seeing this, Gari wanted to continue his pursuit, but how could Seii let him maintain the initiative all the ti?
Before landing, he ford hand seals, completing the preparations for the 'Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique'.
Then, the mont Gari caught up, he opened his mouth and spat out a stream of fire, aiming directly at Gari in mid-air.
Seeing this, Gari thought to himself, "Not good!" He raised his hand to form seals and perford the 'Body Replacent Technique', increasing his speed to dodge the fire stream attack while leaving a stone as cover.
Boom~
The fire stream hit the stone, instantly shattering it into pieces.
However, Gari took this opportunity to hide behind a tree.
Huff~ Huff~
Gari gasped for breath, thinking to himself, "That was close!"
However, at this mont, a transparent wind blade about a ter long suddenly pierced through the tree and landed on him.
Instantly, blood gushed out as if it were worthless, dyeing a large area of the water at his feet red.
Only then did the pain co. Gari looked down and saw a long bloody gash on his chest.
On the other side, seeing this scene, Seii lowered his hands, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face at the right ti.
Although the opponent's movents to dodge the 'Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique' were fast, they weren't faster than his eyes.
He saw all of the opponent's actions after performing the 'Body Replacent Technique'.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he completed the hand seals and then, the mont the opponent stopped, perford the 'Wind Style: Wind Blade'.
It was only because the tree was thick that it reduced the power of the wind blade.
Otherwise, this 'Wind Style: Wind Blade' that he perford with all his might could definitely cut him in two.
But, it was almost the sa now. Although he didn't directly cut him in half, he also rendered him completely incapable of fighting.
Seeing Seii approaching quickly, Gari used his last bit of strength to quickly form seals and perford the 'Earth Style: Earth Dragon Concealnt Technique'.
"Whoosh," Seii appeared behind the tree.
Looking at Gari, who had disappeared again, his expression wasn't very good.
This was the second ti!
The last ti was the sa. After he gained the upper hand using the kite-fighting tactic, the opponent slipped away right under his nose.
This ti was even worse. He was already severely injured, but he still managed to escape.
'But, there won't be a next ti...'
Secretly making up his mind, Seii gathered his thoughts, drew his short sword again, and scanned his surroundings.
In the rain, the battle was still ongoing.
The Iwa ninjas' combat power this ti was obviously not to be underestimated. The Konoha ninjas tried many tis to break free from the entanglent but failed.
However, this was all in the past. With Seii joining the fight, the balance of the battlefield quickly tilted.
Among the Iwa ninja team, except for Gari, whose fighting style sowhat countered his, no one else was his match.
Even Jonin couldn't handle him unless they joined forces...
Unfortunately, the other Konoha Jonin didn't give them this opportunity.
Therefore, Seii could attack without any restraint.
The result of this was that within just a few minutes, the Iwa Chunin and Genin were overwheld and defeated.
And without the restraint of these Chunin and Genin, the Jonin didn't dare to engage for too long either.
In the end, Seii and the others successfully broke through the last line of defense and entered the radiation range of the Kaze willow Town stronghold.
Although the road ahead wasn't absolutely safe, it wouldn't be dangerous at every turn.
The only thing that puzzled them was that a whole day had passed, and their distress signal still hadn't received a response.
That's right, they had sent a distress signal to Kaze willow Town as early as when they encountered the first wave of enemies.
But even now, there was still no response.
This gave Seii and the others a bad feeling.
