Driven by a desire not to waste resources, Seii raised his hand and ford a seal, casting the jutsu again—Chakra Absorption Technique.
In no ti, the chakra of the two individuals on the ground was drained completely.
Their life force quickly dissipated.
Initially, Seii intended to perform "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique" on each of them, to eliminate all traces. However, considering the noise it might generate, he ultimately refrained.
After all, the faces they saw were just disguises he and his shadow clone created using Transformation Jutsu. Even if anyone discovered sothing later, it wouldn't matter.
Besides, once he leaves this base, there's no guarantee it will still exist, let alone these two bodies.
Casually, he hid the two bodies in a corner, then followed the mory of the Root agent with the code na "Aka," heading toward Experint Zone Three.
Along the way, he encountered several more guards transford from test subjects.
Seii showed no rcy and took them all down.
If they had remained test subjects, he might have let them go. But once they sided with the Root agents, he had no reason to hold back.
As for why they chose this path…
Seii didn't care to listen or know.
He acts based on his instincts.
If he feels it's unpleasant, he'll kill—no need to justify it.
He continued moving forward, leaving a trail of destruction until he reached Experint Zone Three.
What lay before him resembled more a prison than a laboratory, with dozens of cells densely packed inside.
In these cells, civilians were held captive. Each showed signs of having been modified, with their life signs appearing unstable.
So were even dead, exuding a stench that turned the stomach.
Tap, tap, tap~
Seii and his shadow clone continued forward.
Suddenly, a voice erged from the front.
"You're back."
The voice was soft, but particularly clear.
Seii looked up and saw a middle-aged man covered in scales lying on an operating table ahead.
Beside him stood another figure.
Seii recognized him. Or rather, the Root agent "Aka," whose identity he was using, recognized him. It was none other than Kimura Kazuhiko.
At that mont, Kazuhiko had his back turned, busy with sothing.
Without pausing, Seii continued walking forward, letting out a brief "Mhm" as if responding to the question.
Upon hearing the response, Kazuhiko turned around.
It was a young ninja, in his early thirties, wearing rimless glasses and a white lab coat.
If not for the bloodstains on it, he might have looked like a friendly older brother from the neighborhood.
Unfortunately, he was nothing less than a demon.
Kazuhiko looked at him, sorting his tools as he spoke, "We're out of test subjects. Make sure to bring so more tomorrow."
"Mhm."
Seii responded again and kept walking forward.
"Oh, right!"
Just then, Kazuhiko seed to rember sothing and asked, "What was that surge of chakra outside just now?"
"It's nothing…"
Seii muttered, sensing that he was close enough. He prepared to activate his Sharingan and take control.
However, Kazuhiko's nose twitched slightly, as if sensing sothing.
The next instant, his pupils shrank, and he stared at Seii, demanding, "You're not Aka. Who are you?"
"Guess."
Seii replied and activated his Sharingan instantly.
"What?!"
Seeing those eyes, Kazuhiko was shocked and furious.
But his reaction was swift. Almost as soon as Seii triggered the Sharingan and cast Genjutsu, Kazuhiko shut his eyes.
At the sa ti, he leaped backward.
Without hesitation, Seii drew the longsword from his waist, a green light flashing as he unleashed the Instant Sword Technique.
In a flash, he was beside Kazuhiko.
Whoosh~
The blade swung, aid at his shoulder.
He avoided the neck and head on purpose, wanting to keep him alive to extract the knowledge he needed.
Although the Root agent Aka knew a lot, he wasn't deeply involved in the experints.
Therefore, he wasn't sure where the relevant knowledge was stored or if it was even recorded.
So he needed to capture Kazuhiko alive to obtain precise information.
However, this allowed Kazuhiko ti to react.
Sensing the danger, Kazuhiko grabbed a scalpel nearby and blocked Seii's strike with his keen reflexes.
Clang~
A clear tallic sound echoed as the sword and scalpel clashed, forcing Kazuhiko to stumble sideways.
At that mont, Seii's shadow clone moved, appearing on the side Kazuhiko was falling toward.
He extended his hands.
Smack~
The shadow clone grabbed Kazuhiko's arm.
A mont later, a powerful suction erged from his palm.
Kazuhiko felt the chakra in his body flood into his arm like a broken dam, pouring out uncontrollably.
"Damn it!"
He cursed under his breath.
Then, with a determined expression, he infused Wind Style chakra into his right hand, which held the scalpel, and swung it down onto his left arm.
A mont later, his left arm was severed.
Imdiately afterward, he twisted his body at an impossible angle, narrowly evading Seii's main attack.
"Body modification?"
Seeing this, Seii's eyes narrowed.
The next mont, a fierce aura radiated from him, causing Kazuhiko, who was about to escape, to freeze montarily.
This brief pause gave the shadow clone an opening. With a swift Rasengan, he struck Kazuhiko directly.
"Ahhh—"
Kazuhiko's agonized scream echoed, drawing the attention of the test subjects in nearby cells.
Ignoring the half-dead test subjects, Seii used the Instant Sword Technique again to appear in front of Kazuhiko.
Then, as their eyes t, he cast "Genjutsu: Sharingan."
Kazuhiko was powerless to resist, and his consciousness began to slip away.
Kazuhiko was now under his control.
In the end, he was just a researcher.
He might have a better sense of perception than most ninjas and had undergone so modifications, but compared to Seii, he was far inferior.
So it was no surprise he failed to escape.
Looking at the now-entranced Kazuhiko, Seii didn't imdiately delve into his mory. Instead, he turned to his shadow clone and ordered, "Go handle the rest of the unstable elents in this base."
From Aka's mories, he knew that the test subjects he had eliminated along the way weren't the only ones.
Now that Kazuhiko was under his control, he didn't have to worry about anything.
It was ti to deal with those who posed a threat.
"Mhm."
Without a word, the shadow clone nodded and instantly left to carry out the order.
Once he was alone, Seii returned his attention to Kazuhiko.
Now, it was ti to see what he could extract.
