Seeing that Seii had broken free, i Terumī hesitated not at all and imdiately ordered, "Keep attacking!"
At her command, the surrounding Mist ninjas, mostly lower-ranking, hurled their kunai and shuriken without delay.
In the next mont, a barrage of kunai and shuriken shot through the air, densely packed.
Seii, observing the incoming assault, pushed his Three-Tomoe Sharingan to its limit, constantly maneuvering his chakra wings to evade.
During this, he naturally sought a way out.
However, the Mist ninjas, now more alert from the previous encounter, began blocking his escape routes to the sky, making it difficult for him.
He felt trapped and frustrated!
Before he could react to the second wave of attacks, the third wave was already on its way.
This ti, it wasn't just weapons—they had added ninjutsu to the mix.
Seeing these attacks, Seii's expression darkened.
As the saying goes, "Many ants can kill an elephant."
One or two such attacks might not harm him, but with enough of them, sothing would inevitably go wrong.
He had fought against multiple enemies before.
But back then, it was mostly sword fighting at close range, where opponents couldn't easily use ninjutsu.
Moreover, though he faced many enemies at those tis, only a few fought him at once.
Now, while he had the advantage of terrain, he had also exposed himself.
This allowed the Mist ninjas to attack freely without being hindered by numbers, making it extrely troubleso.
"I can't let this continue," he thought.
While dodging the attacks, he ford a series of hand seals and unleashed a jutsu—**Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique**!
"Ahhh!"
A stream of flas erupted from his mouth, transforming into a dragon of fire that surged towards the enemy crowd.
In an instant, several ninjas were engulfed by the fire dragon.
The next mont, agonizing screams echoed from the flas, chilling to the bone.
However, this didn't scare the enemy away.
After just a brief pause, the Mist ninjas resud their assault.
If not for Seii's powerful Sharingan, allowing him to track every attack, anyone else, even with mastery of **Wind Release: Wings of Wind**, would have been torn apart by now.
Still, Seii knew well the principle of "the longer you defend, the greater the risk."
So, even though his earlier attacks hadn't deterred the enemy, he didn't stop counterattacking.
Fireballs, fire dragons, fiery rain, wind blades—one after another, various ninjutsu were hurled towards the Mist ninjas below.
Before long, the battlefield had turned into a living hell, with the stench of blood and the sll of charred corpses filling the air, enough to make anyone nauseous.
The Mist ninjas had suffered devastating casualties.
Even i Terumī and her companions had intervened, but mostly just to patch up the gaps and prevent Seii from escaping.
They showed no reaction to the deaths of their fellow Mist ninjas.
It was clear—they intended to use these Mist ninjas' lives to wear Seii down.
However, their plan was destined to fail.
True, during the battle, Seii had inevitably taken so injuries while trying to create opportunities to use ninjutsu, but none of these wounds were fatal.
Not to ntion that he had mastered **Lv8 Palm Healing Technique**, allowing him to easily heal these injuries. His natural regenerative abilities were also strong enough to keep him going for a long ti.
And then, there was chakra.
For a ninja, chakra is undoubtedly the most important resource.
Yet, with the amount of chakra he currently had, even if he killed everyone below, it wouldn't be depleted.
Because of these two factors, their idea of using sheer numbers to overwhelm him was unrealistic.
At least, the number of enemies they had now was far from sufficient.
Still, to maximize the damage on the Mist ninjas, Seii deliberately feigned fatigue, allowing himself to sustain more injuries.
At the sa ti, his accuracy in casting ninjutsu decreased slightly.
However, a fake is still a fake.
At first, i Terumī and the others didn't notice anything unusual. But as Seii continued killing Mist ninjas despite his injuries, they began to realize sothing was wrong.
Finally, after he once again used **Wind Release: Wind Blade** to slay two Mist Chunin, i Terumī called off the attack.
"Have they realized?" Seii murmured as he watched the attackers halt.
So, he stopped pretending, raised his hands to form seals, and used the **Palm Healing Technique**, infusing a dense amount of Yang chakra into his body, allowing it to heal his wounds.
Next, he made another set of seals, unleashing **Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique**!
In the next instant, countless fireballs shot from his mouth, resembling a teor shower of flas, raining down on the Mist ninjas below.
That's right—after they had stopped, he initiated his own offensive.
This wasn't due to arrogance but because he had realized that, while the previous battle had been dangerous, the overall risk was manageable.
As long as he was cautious not to be ambushed by i Terumī and the other Jonin, he could keep fighting.
And in order to deal with him, i Terumī and her allies would need to summon even more reinforcents.
In doing so, the pressure on the other parts of the battlefield, where Konoha ninjas were fighting, would naturally lessen.
This way, he would achieve his goal of drawing their fire.
Additionally, this "dancing on the edge" situation could also maximize the growth of his **Wind Release: Wings of Wind**.
In just this short while, its proficiency had increased by nearly 200 points. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before **Wings of Wind** leveled up to Lv3.
At that point, its agility would certainly increase, and his safety would improve as a result.
With such a win-win situation, there was no way he would pass it up.
So, he launched his attack.
Watching the rain of fire fall from the sky, the Mist ninjas below frantically dodged.
However, Seii had long since perfected this technique, gaining exceptional control over the fireballs he released.
Especially after his **Spirit** attribute surpassed the 20-point threshold, his control had beco even stronger.
As a result, the fireballs seed almost alive, each one homing in on the nearest Mist ninja.
For the Chunin, with their quicker reactions, they managed to evade with so effort.
But the lower-ranking ninjas weren't so lucky.
Several were struck by the fireballs, collapsing with cries of pain.
Seeing this, i Terumī's face darkened. She countered with **Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique**, aiming directly at Seii.
Seeing this, Seii's eyes lit up. He didn't dodge but instead ford seals, unleashing **Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique**!
In the next instant, the fire dragon collided with the water dragon in midair, producing a sizzling sound.
White steam erupted, and in the blink of an eye, it covered an area of more than a hundred ters.
"Sothing's off!"
Noticing the dense fog around her, i Terumī imdiately sensed that sothing was wrong.
Given the size of the water and fire dragons, they shouldn't have produced this much steam in such a short ti.
Sensing the chakra within the fog, i Terumī quickly realized, "It's the **Hidden Mist Technique**, isn't it?"
Just as she confird this, ready to warn her comrades, a flash of steel appeared.
A chilling killing intent washed over her, sending shivers down her spine.
In the next instant, she instinctively dodged to the side.
