"Who's there? Show yourself!"
The leader of the Mist Village ninja team grimaced as five of his subordinates fell in an instant. Without hesitation, he unleashed a powerful jutsu toward the direction where he sensed the hidden presence of Seii.
"Water Style: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
He no longer cared about concealnt. The mont he acted, it was with his strongest technique, aiming to flush Seii out of hiding.
The ninja leapt back onto a tree and unleashed a torrent of water from his mouth. Upon hitting the ground, it transford into a massive wave, surging forward with great force through the dense forest. Trees, grass, soil, and rocks were swept along in its wake.
In the forest.
Seii observed the attack with a calm smile, pleased rather than alard.
Why? Because for so ti now, he had wanted to learn this particular jutsu.
Its ability to clear the battlefield was comparable to his own "Wind Style: Great Breakthrough," but it had the added benefit of creating a water-filled terrain that would enhance subsequent water-style techniques—a remarkably versatile ability.
Even better, when mastered to its peak, it could evolve into the "Water Style: Giant Exploding Water Colliding Wave," a rare A-rank jutsu that Seii had long coveted. Unfortunately, he hadn't had the chance to learn it—until now.
Watching the Mist ninja execute the technique from start to finish, Seii wasn't about to let such an opportunity slip by.
Without hesitation, as soon as his opponent acted, Seii activated his Sharingan, utilizing its copy ability.
Not stopping there, he also used his Byakugan to carefully observe the chakra flow within the opponent's body, enhancing the precision of his copying ability.
Efforts bore fruit.
With the combination of both dojutsu, Seii successfully learned the technique just as his enemy executed it.
On his skill panel, a new entry appeared: "Water Style: Exploding Water Colliding Wave - Level 1 (1/200)."
"I wonder if he'll cough up blood when he realizes I've just stolen his technique," Seii thought with amusent, his hands already forming seals.
Before the incoming wave could reach him, he cast "Wind Style: Wings of Wind."
Whoosh!
A pair of pale blue chakra wings materialized on Seii's back. With a single flap, he rose into the sky, escaping the forest and the rushing torrent below, which flattened a vast swath of trees without so much as grazing him.
Seeing Seii soaring above them, the lead Mist ninja's expression darkened.
It wasn't fear or anger that the jutsu had failed. He had only intended to force Seii out of hiding.
However, Seii's high vantage point created a new problem: if he flew away to alert the Black Stone base, their mission would inevitably fail.
Should reinforcents arrive, the Mist ninjas would have little chance of escape.
Understanding this, desperation flickered across the team's faces.
Soone attempted to take Seii down imdiately.
To everyone's surprise, Seii didn't flee. Instead, he flew straight toward them.
"An opportunity!"
The Mist ninjas' eyes lit up. If they could kill Seii here, their mission still had a sliver of hope. At the very least, they could claim the life of a promising young Konoha ninja, dealing a blow to their morale.
With this resolve, the Mist ninjas launched a coordinated attack.
From above, Seii observed the barrage of kunai and shuriken headed his way. Without hesitation, he ford seals and cast "Earth Style: Hardening Technique."
A faint glow enveloped Seii's body.
Though subtle in appearance, the effect was anything but. His skin beca as hard as steel, with a dense layer of earth chakra forming an impenetrable barrier.
Even the sharpest tools enhanced by wind chakra couldn't pierce his defense.
The ninja weapons clattered harmlessly against him as Seii surged forward, closing the distance to re ters.
Before his opponents could react, Seii ford seals at lightning speed and cast "Lightning Style: Thunderbolt."
Zap!
Twin streaks of lightning shot from his palms, striking two Mist ninjas dead on. They crumpled to the ground, severely injured and incapacitated.
"Damn it!"
A special jonin from the Mist cursed and quickly ford seals.
A massive water dragon surged forth from the lake below, roaring as it ascended toward Seii.
The "Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu," a B-rank technique, was executed flawlessly, its sheer power evident in every movent.
Recognizing the attack's precision and timing, Seii prepared to evade by flapping his chakra wings.
But then, his Byakugan caught a faint movent behind him.
The Mist leader had stealthily ford seals and aid his right hand, mimicking the posture of firing a gun—a technique Seii knew all too well.
"Water Style: Water Gun Jutsu!"
This secret technique of the Hozuki clan was deadly.
Seii paused mid-flight, narrowly avoiding the high-speed water projectile that grazed past, leaving a visible trail in the air.
"So, he's a Hozuki," Seii murmured, analyzing the enemy's strategy.
His abrupt stop thwarted the ambush, leaving the Hozuki jonin puzzled at how Seii had detected the attack.
But Seii had no ti to dwell. With the water dragon fast approaching, he ford seals and unleashed "Water Style: Giant Shark Bullet Jutsu."
A colossal shark made of water materialized, swallowing the water dragon in a single gulp.
The sheer scale of the shark left the Mist ninjas in stunned silence.
Wasting no ti, Seii directed the empowered shark toward the ground, aiming to end the confrontation decisively.
