Swish~
With a flash, a figure appeared in front of the Kiri-nin Jonin who was almost killed by Seii.
Dressed in navy blue attire, with one eye and two sealing talismans hanging from his earlobes, it was none other than Ao, who had clashed with Seii before.
However, it wasn't him who threw these shuriken, but soone else.
Seii's gaze shifted to the right.
There, Terumi i had just retracted her hands.
Obviously, the attack just now was launched by her.
And the sudden appearance of these two here, Seii couldn't think of any other purpose besides intercepting him.
It wasn't just the two of them. Seii shifted his gaze to the left.
There was another person there.
He had a tall stature, long limbs, spiky yellow hair, and wore the black and white mask unique to Kirigakure's Anbu. There were also dozens of bandages wrapped around his neck.
This image imdiately reminded Seii of soone - Kushimaru Kuriarare, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist.
Seii looked at his hands and saw that he was holding a long needle-shaped ninja tool in his right hand, with a wire attached to its tail.
At this mont, he was supporting it with his left hand.
With such a distinctive ninja tool, Seii was almost certain that this was one of the Seven Swords of Kirigakure - the Longsword: Nuibari!
This further confird Kushimaru Kuriarare's identity.
"One of the Seven Ninja Swordsn, a dual Kekkei Genkai user, and a Byakugan killer, huh... They really think highly of !"
Seii muttered to himself, but his expression didn't show any abnormality.
Instead, it was Kushimaru Kuriarare who looked at him and spoke first: "You're the brat who killed Juzo Biwa and Raiga Kurosuki?"
Kushimaru Kuriarare sized Seii up and down, feigning disdain: "Doesn't seem like anything special..."
However, Seii wasn't affected by his provocation at all. Since he had already confird the enemy's identity, there was no need for talk.
With this in mind, he quickly ford hand seals with both hands, intending to perform the ninjutsu - Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
However, at this mont, a subtle Chakra fluctuation suddenly ca from beneath his feet, and a sense of crisis arose in his heart.
"There's soone else!?"
Seii was startled and hurriedly stopped the ninjutsu he was about to perform. He pushed off the ground with his feet, leaping into the air and instantly distancing himself from the ground.
And just as his feet left the ground, a short sword thrust out from the ground, narrowly missing his body.
Seeing this, Kushimaru Kuriarare was sowhat disappointed, but he quickly regained his composure, exerted force in his right hand, and threw the 'Longsword: Nuibari' in his hand.
Whoosh~
A faint sound of sothing cutting through the air.
Seii's Sharingan scanned and saw the incoming long needle. He swung his long katana and easily deflected the needle.
However, Kushimaru Kuriarare wasn't annoyed at all.
He pulled his left hand forcefully, and the wire instantly tightened.
Then, he flicked his right hand, and in mid-air, the long needle changed direction and stabbed towards Seii again, this ti from behind, making it even harder to defend against.
However, Seii's perception was extrely sharp, and he imdiately detected the anomaly.
So, he exerted force in his waist and abdon, bending his body in mid-air to almost a ninety-degree angle, ultimately narrowly avoiding the attack.
"Hehehe~"
Seeing Seii's performance, Kushimaru Kuriarare chuckled and praised: "Ghost Sword Seii, you have so skills!"
During this brief delay, the figure who had sneak attacked Seii earlier erged from the ground.
It could be seen that this was also a Kiri-nin Jonin.
No, to be more precise, it should be a Tokubetsu Jonin.
But it was a Tokubetsu Jonin who specialized in lurking and assassination.
He wore a Kirigakure Anbu mask similar to Kushimaru Kuriarare's, clearly also a mber of the Anbu.
Obviously, Seii had miscalculated earlier. Kirigakure hadn't just sent Terumi i, Ao, and Kushimaru Kuriarare to deal with him this ti. There was also an Anbu elite hiding.
If they included the Kiri-nin Jonin he almost killed just now, that made five people.
However, facing the potential siege of five people, Seii wasn't too afraid.
At this mont, he was thinking: "If I can hold off these five people, then my mission should be considered complete... right?"
One should know that this wasn't just a one-sided reduction of five Jonin main forces for the Kiri-nin, but also the simultaneous liberation of almost equivalent combat power for Konoha.
With such a gain and loss, if they still couldn't defend, then Seii was helpless.
As for using the Mangekyo Sharingan to completely turn the tide of the battle?
Not to ntion that he had never considered this, even if he had such an intention before, after seeing Kushimaru Kuriarare and the Kiri-nin Anbu who just sneak attacked him, he wouldn't do it now.
The reason was that at this stage, a large part of Kirigakure's Anbu was secretly controlled by Uchiha Madara, preparing the stage for Obito Uchiha.
Theoretically, there shouldn't be anyone on his side.
But it was better to be safe than sorry.
If one of the two people in front of him was truly a pawn of Uchiha Madara, then as long as he dared to use the Mangekyo Sharingan's abilities, he would definitely be discovered.
Others might not notice anything, but Uchiha Madara, who also had experience using the Mangekyo Sharingan, would definitely recognize it.
That would be troubleso.
Seii didn't want to get entangled with a dying person at this point.
Moreover, beside Uchiha Madara, there was also Black Zetsu, the devoted son. He didn't want to enter their sight too early.
After these two years passed and his Mangekyo Sharingan evolved into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, eliminating the risk of blindness, then it wouldn't matter if he played with them.
As for the current stage...
Let him and Uchiha Madara engage in a battle of wits!
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Seii imdiately beca highly focused, preparing to face the siege of the five Kiri-nin.
These five people didn't make him wait long. Almost the mont his feet touched the ground, Terumi i took the lead and launched an attack.
She swiftly ford hand seals, and a water dragon instantly appeared, roaring and lunging towards him.
The others weren't far behind, quickly following up, either performing ninjutsu, throwing kunai, or setting traps.
In short, everyone was attacking him.
However, their coordination was clearly not very good, especially Kushimaru Kuriarare, who was a cold-blooded and murderous person, not caring about the lives of others at all.
And this gave Seii an opportunity.
Relying on the Sharingan's powerful insight, he specifically stepped on the traps set by Kushimaru Kuriarare to defend and counterattack, making the other few people quite uncomfortable.
The key was that the others couldn't say anything and could only be more careful themselves.
Ti passed by.
The battle between them beca increasingly intense.
Soon, the first casualty appeared.
It was none other than the Kiri-nin Jonin who had already been severely injured by him.
However, he didn't die at Seii's hands but in the trap set by Kushimaru Kuriarare using the 'Longsword: Nuibari'.
Of course, Seii's genjutsu also played a part in this.
