*Swish, swish, swish!*
More kunai flew through the air.
The shout from the Mist Ninja just now had drawn a lot of attention.
Seeing that Seii was about to fly away, several people imdiately threw their kunai and shuriken, all aiming at him.
However, Seii moved like a fish in water, agile and swift, twisting his body to evade all the attacks.
He was about to escape when suddenly, a water column shot from another Mist Ninja warship nearby, speeding toward his chest.
Sensing the danger, Seii furrowed his brows slightly and swiftly shifted to the side, avoiding the attack.
However, this montary delay allowed more Mist Ninjas to erge from the ship.
Those who were nearby imdiately launched attacks—so threw kunai, others shuriken, and so even cast ninjutsu or genjutsu.
Their goal was singular: to delay his escape as much as possible.
At the sa ti, those farther away jumped off the warship, running across the water toward him.
Seeing this, Seii's expression grew colder.
He raised his left hand and quickly ford seals, taking a deep breath, then unleashed his ninjutsu—**Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!**
In an instant, the sky and earth seed to change color!
A hurricane erupted from his mouth, akin to a typhoon, sweeping toward the ninjas below.
At that mont, not only were the approaching Mist Ninjas blown away, but the four warships also rocked violently, nearly capsizing.
"Be careful!"
"Hold steady!"
"Don't leave the ship!"
Shouts of panic filled the air from the warships, clearly showing the chaos among the Mist Ninjas.
A few seconds later, the wind died down.
Taking advantage of the mont before the Mist Ninjas could react, Seii used **Wind Style: Wings of Wind**, lifting the Mist Chunin in his hand as he soared into the sky.
Seeing this, a few Mist Jonin launched their final attacks.
But unfortunately for them, they still couldn't stop Seii.
With no other choice, they had to give up.
Though they surrendered, Seii didn't rush to leave. He circled above the four Mist Ninja warships for a while, carefully observing the ninjas below several tis before slowly departing.
As they watched Seii's retreating figure, although no one said it aloud, all the Mist Ninjas breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no helping it—Seii was simply too troubleso. If he had continued to harass them, it would have been a real headache.
Luckily, he left.
Confirming his departure, the leading Mist Jonin began organizing efforts to treat the wounded.
Although the conflict had lasted only a short while, the damage caused by Seii's **Wind Style: Great Breakthrough** was far from minor.
Besides those who were injured from the rocking of the ships, many were hurt by their own kunai and shuriken, which had been blown back at them.
In a way, it was their own fault.
If they hadn't thrown so many kunai and shuriken at once, Seii's jutsu wouldn't have caused such widespread damage.
But it was all over now.

On the other side.
After leaving the Mist Ninjas' sight, Seii flew another 20 to 30 kiloters before landing on a small reef.
*Clang!*
Seii drew the long sword at his waist and infused it with Wind Style chakra, slashing swiftly to create a flat area to stand.
*Bang!*
He then tossed the Mist Chunin he had been holding onto the ground.
The impact woke the Chunin up instantly.
His eyes were confused at first, but when he saw Seii's figure, he quickly snapped to attention and asked warily, "What are you planning?"
As he spoke, his right hand moved toward the ninja tool pouch at his waist.
In the next instant, a flash of light streaked by, and his right hand was severed, falling to the ground as blood gushed out.
"Ah!"
The intense pain made the Mist Ninja scream.
However, his voice didn't last long before it was abruptly cut off.
Seii's Sharingan spun slightly as he cast **Genjutsu: Sharingan**, guiding the Chunin into recalling the information he needed.
Ti passed, second by second.
About half an hour later.
Seii stopped the genjutsu.
At this point, the Mist Chunin regained consciousness once more.
His face turned deathly pale.
Clearly, he knew what information he had just leaked.
"You—"
The Mist Chunin tried to speak.
But Seii had no interest in wasting words with him. In a flash, he completed a seal and reached out with his right hand, gripping the Chunin's neck.
In the next mont, a surge of chakra flowed from the Chunin's body into Seii's, replenishing his own reserves.
"Ughh!"
A strangled sound escaped the Mist Ninja's lips.
His eyes bulged, and he grabbed Seii's wrist with his left hand, desperately trying to pry it off.
But the rapid loss of chakra sapped his strength too quickly, making it impossible.
A few seconds later, Seii released his grip.
By then, the Mist Chunin had already stopped breathing entirely.
"Six thousand chakra points… not bad, I guess."
Feeling the new chakra within him, Seii muttered to himself before forming a one-handed seal and using **Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!**
A fireball the size of a fist landed on the Mist Ninja's body, igniting a fierce blaze.
As he watched the body burn, Seii reviewed the information he had gathered from the ninja's mind.
Comparing it to what he had observed during the brief fight, he was now confident about the size and strength of the Mist reinforcent unit.
With this, his mission was complete.
After waiting a while longer, until the body was entirely consud by the flas, he raised his hand to form seals, using **Wind Style: Wings of Wind**.
With a flap of his wings, he flew toward the Black Stone outpost.
---
Half an hour later.
Nearing the outpost.
High in the sky.
Suddenly, Seii seed to rember sothing and changed direction by 90 degrees, flying off in another direction.
A few minutes later, he found a cluster of reefs.
He scanned the area to ensure no one was around before lowering his altitude and using **Wind Style: Wind Blade**!
*Whoosh!*
A massive wind blade sliced through the reef, leveling the area.
Seii landed, nodded in satisfaction, and then used **Shadow Clone Jutsu**!
*Bang!*
With a puff of chakra smoke, several shadow clones appeared.
Without wasting words, Seii gave his clones instructions to train in this secluded spot while he returned to the outpost.
Clearly, he was planning to resu his old thod of using shadow clones to speed up his training.
For the past two days, he hadn't used this technique. The upcoming battle was too important to be distracted, and there were too many eyes in the outpost.
But now, from the information he'd extracted from the Mist Chunin's mind, he knew that a major battle wouldn't be happening for a few days.
Moreover, with his successful developnt of the **Mind Link Technique**, allowing him to communicate with his clones over long distances, he could fully take advantage of his chakra reserves.
And so, he planned to do just that.
