"Everyone, you should all be bounty ninjas, right? Since you discovered the Takumi Village leader, why didn't you directly take action and instead chose to monitor?"
Hearing Seii's question, the surrounding bounty ninjas exchanged glances, and finally, one of them sneered: "It's none of your business what we do."
"But those eyes of yours are worth a lot of money on the black market!"
"Brothers, attack!"
Suddenly, the bounty ninja shouted.
Hearing this, the surrounding people imdiately rushed towards Seii.
Seeing this, Seii let out a soft sigh: "Ah! There's a path to heaven, but you don't take it. The gates of hell are open, and you insist on barging in!"
"Alright, I just got a good katana. I'll use you guys to test it out!"
With that, he swiftly drew the long katana from his waist, and his aura changed accordingly.
Instantly, a chilling aura enveloped the entire scene.
Feeling this killing intent, the bounty ninjas who were just clamoring to attack him imdiately stopped in their tracks.
Having been in the dark side for many years, they knew very well who they could ss with and who they couldn't.
And soone like Seii, who reeked of "blood," was definitely soone to avoid at all costs.
An inexplicable sense of retreat arose in their hearts.
And at this mont, Seii's 'Transformation Technique' couldn't be maintained any longer, and he reverted to his original appearance.
"A kid?"
"A child?"
"..."
Several bounty ninjas saw Seii's true form and shouted out in surprise.
At the sa ti, the fear in their hearts dissipated a lot.
Seeing this, the leading bounty ninja imdiately seized the opportunity and ordered: "Kill!"
Imdiately, everyone raised their weapons towards Seii.
However, facing the siege of these people, Seii remained unusually calm. He just wielded the long katana in his hand, constantly blocking, without attempting to counterattack.
Clang, clang, clang~
The crisp sound of tal clashing echoed continuously in the forest.
Under the illumination of the firelight, Seii, amidst the crowd, was like a swimming fish, nimbly moving between them.
He continuously swung the long katana in his hand, accurately blocking any attacks directed at him. His entire movent gave people a sense of effortless ease.
In contrast, the few people besieging him were almost using all their strength, but they still couldn't take him down.
Gradually, a sense of frustration arose in their hearts, and their movents involuntarily beca larger.
However, the more they did this, under the gaze of Seii's Sharingan, the more flaws they revealed.
If Seii hadn't wanted to take this opportunity to familiarize himself with the long katana in his hand, he would have already finished them off.
······
Ti passed by.
After an unknown amount of ti, suddenly, a bounty ninja who was staring intently at Seii exclaid: "You, you are the Ghost Sword Seii?"
"What?"
"Ghost Sword Seii?"
"How is that possible?"
Instantly, various voices erged, and several bounty ninjas all gave up their attacks, instead pulling back and staring at Seii intently.
Seeing this, Seii lowered the long katana in his hand, looked at the person who recognized him with interest, and said: "Oh! You know ?"
Before that person could answer, the others saw that he didn't deny it and gasped, unconsciously taking half a step back.
Hearing his question, the person who first recognized him said with a bitter face: "The Ghost Sword Seii with a bounty of seventeen million Ryo, who doesn't know him?"
Although the person said "who doesn't know him," in reality, most bounty ninjas didn't actually know him.
This was because more than eighty percent of bounty ninjas were active at the bottom of the black market.
And for these low-level bounty ninjas, the high bounty of seventeen million Ryo was simply not sothing they could covet.
Therefore, they usually just glanced over it and didn't pay much attention.
As a result, even if most bounty ninjas saw him, they might not be able to recognize him at a glance.
Just like this bounty ninja in front of him, didn't he also fail to recognize him at the beginning?
In the end, it was only because the fight lasted too long that he recognized his identity.
It was just...
"Seventeen million Ryo, it seems they underestimate
a bit!"
Seii muttered to himself.
One should know that even Asuma Sarutobi later had a bounty of thirty-five million Ryo, and his strength clearly surpassed Asuma's.
Even if Asuma had the "son of the Hokage" bonus, it shouldn't be that much higher than his.
'Perhaps my reputation isn't big enough yet.'
This thought flashed through his mind, and Seii no longer held back. He imdiately raised his katana and charged towards one of the people in front of him.
He had already seen that these people had the intention of fleeing ever since they recognized his identity. If he continued to hold back, they might scatter in all directions.
To ensure that his identity information didn't leak, he could only quickly eliminate these people.
Slash~
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh rang out.
Seii's movents were too fast. Before the person in front could react, his throat was slit by the long katana.
"Gasp... Gasp..."
The bounty ninja clutched his throat, making a series of strange sounds, and finally stumbled two steps before collapsing on the ground.
Seeing this scene, the others finally snapped out of their daze.
Imdiately, the leading bounty ninja shouted: "Everyone, scatter and run!"
However, before he could finish his words, Seii's eyes swept over, and the mont their gazes t, Seii activated the hypnotic ability of his Sharingan.
Instantly, the leader froze in place.
However, Seii didn't rush to kill him. He just flashed and knocked him unconscious.
As for the others...
Before they could run far, they were all killed by him one by one.
With the strength of these people, Seii didn't need to use any powerful ninjutsu to deal with them. Just the 'Body Flicker Technique' combined with 'Swordsmanship' and the Sharingan easily took care of them.
Returning to the leading bounty ninja, Seii woke him up with a few slaps.
Before he could beg for rcy, Seii asked again: "Tell , why did you only monitor the Takumi Village leader and not capture him?"
"I, we..."
The leading bounty ninja stamred for a long ti, his eyes darting around, but he couldn't give a clear answer.
Seeing his attitude, Seii didn't waste any words. He imdiately raised his hands, concentrated his ntal energy, and fully exerted the 'Genjutsu: Sharingan', preparing to read his mories.
Seeing this, the bounty ninja thought Seii was about to attack him and hurriedly shouted: "No! No! No! I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?"
"We..."
However, Seii completely ignored him and directly cast the 'Genjutsu: Sharingan'.
Instead of wasting ti with him, Seii preferred to consu a bit of Chakra and directly search his mories.
As Seii's genjutsu activated, the other person's voice abruptly stopped, and his entire consciousness was imrsed in the illusion.
Seii carefully discerned and confird that the other party wasn't faking before starting to guide the illusion to change, making him voluntarily reveal the relevant mories.
Soon, he figured out the whole story.
