Amidst the White Mist.
Ohsawa Yuki stood on the deck, observing the endless stretch of white mist surrounding them.
He extended his senses, confirming that his perception was heavily impaired. Without further hesitation, he promptly ordered all ships to proceed with caution.
Monts later, as the order was relayed, a loud explosion echoed from behind.
"Is that… an Explosive Tag?!"
Ohsawa's heart skipped a beat; he knew there was a high chance that Seii had made his move.
This was a tricky situation for him.
In the past, they had always used the *Water Style: Hidden Mist Technique* to limit their enemies' abilities. Now, with the tables turned, they finally understood what it felt like to be bound and restricted.
Wait a mont~
Suddenly, a thought crossed Ohsawa's mind: if they couldn't break through the enemy's blockade, why not intensify it?
In an instant, his thoughts cleared up.
Ignoring the sounds of escalating battles behind him, Ohsawa turned to Sakura Mizuki beside him and said, "Mizuki, imdiately notify the leaders of each ship to organize their teams and deploy the *Hidden Mist Technique*."
"The *Hidden Mist Technique*?"
Sakura Mizuki looked puzzled at first but quickly understood Ohsawa's intention.
"Yes, Captain!"
Without hesitation, she used a secret transmission technique to relay Ohsawa's orders to the leaders of each ship.
However, after using this technique, she looked noticeably paler.
Clearly, with the massive interference from Seii's chakra, conveying orders precisely had been a significant challenge.
Fortunately, it was still manageable.
Shortly after Ohsawa issued his command, Seii, who was assaulting a Mist Ninja warship from behind the fleet, abruptly paused.
Dodging a few kunai, Seii flapped his wings, soared higher, and moved out of the Mist Ninja's attack range.
Suspended in midair, he closed his eyes, using the chakra dispersed in the mist to sense any subtle movents.
Monts later, he opened his eyes and muttered, "There's definitely so unusual chakra here!"
Indeed, he had just sensed a strange chakra spreading through the area. It not only interfered with his perception but also made the mist around him even denser.
After careful sensing, he confird that others were also performing the *Water Style: Hidden Mist Technique*.
And it wasn't just one person.
In that brief ti, three more people had used the sa technique.
And that was only the beginning.
Now, the surrounding mist was thickening visibly.
"Quick reactions, as expected from the true masters of the *Hidden Mist Technique*!"
Observing this, Seii couldn't help but express admiration.
He quickly figured out the Mist Ninjas' strategy.
They intended to use the properties of the *Hidden Mist Technique* to dilute his influence over the mist, making it difficult for him to launch unchecked attacks.
Moreover, given the Mist Ninjas' familiarity with this technique and their natural environnt, they might even find an opportunity to counterattack.
However, achieving this would take more ti than they had.
In the anti, he could perhaps destroy one more Mist Ninja warship.
With this thought, Seii refocused below, seemingly able to see through the mist and spot the still-frantic crew aboard the ship.
He had just launched a sneak attack on this Mist Ninja warship.
Now, it seed like the perfect opportunity for a follow-up strike.
Without delay, Seii ford a hand seal and used the *Wind Style: Great Breakthrough*!
Consuming hundreds of chakra points, a moderate gust issued from his mouth, dispersing a portion of the mist below.
Onboard the Mist Ninja warship, the crew, still confused by Seii's sudden departure, noticed the mist clearing in front of them.
Imdiately, joy spread across many faces.
They assud one of their own Jonin had broken through Seii's ninjutsu barrier.
Ohsawa's orders had just reached the leaders on each ship, so the lower-ranking ninjas were unaware of his plan.
Their optimism was understandable.
But it was precisely this that gave Seii his chance; he flapped his wings and swiftly descended upon the Mist Ninja warship.
Two Mist Ninja Jonin aboard saw this and paled, shouting for everyone to attack while launching their own strikes.
Unfortunately, Seii's speed was too great; the lower-ranking ninjas on the ship couldn't react in ti.
As for the Jonins' attacks—
Seii used *Earth Style: Hardening Technique* to resist one's kunai, then evaded the other's Fire Style jutsu with a wing beat.
By then, he was already close to the ship.
Without hesitation, Seii ford a quick seal, using *Wind Style: Blade of Wind*!
Whoosh~
A massive wind blade, about ten ters long, sliced toward the Mist Ninja warship.
The two Mist Ninja Jonin attempted to intercept it, but the wind blade's speed, combined with Seii's deliberate angle, prevented them from casting their jutsus in ti.
They could only watch as the wind blade cut through the ship.
Crack~
With the sound of splintering wood, a sizable gap appeared just below the warship's waterline.
In the next mont, seawater flooded in.
Seeing the water rising toward the cabin, so Mist Ninjas shouted, "Quick! Seal the breach!"
However, as they scrambled to repair the ship, Seii denied them the chance.
Almost as soon as the wind blade had penetrated, he ford another seal and used *Fire Style: Dragon Fla Jutsu*!
Whoosh~
Flas surged from his mouth, transforming into three fire dragons. Under his control, one charged toward the ninjas attempting to seal the breach, while the other two struck the warship.
The two Jonin on the ship intercepted the two dragons targeting the vessel, but they were powerless to stop the third one.
The Mist Ninjas were forced to abandon their repairs and join forces to fend off the fire dragon.
Though their combined effort defeated the dragon, it allowed more seawater into the cabin, tilting the entire warship.
Taking advantage of the situation, Seii circled to the other side of the ship and used *Fire Style: Dragon Fla Jutsu* again.
This ti, only one dragon was blocked; the remaining two crashed into the warship, engulfing it in flas.
Seeing no other choice, the two Mist Ninja Jonin ordered everyone to abandon ship.
Only a few monts had passed, and the white mist that Seii had cleared earlier had reassembled around them.
This ant he couldn't continue his assault.
But he didn't need to. The Mist Ninja warship, having endured a wind blade and two fire dragons, had no chance of survival.
There was no need to risk further.
In fact, he wouldn't have to attack the other Mist Ninja ships at all; destroying two ships would be enough to slow their progress.
Now, he could focus solely on maintaining the *Hidden Mist Technique* and ensuring they remained trapped for a while.
