After killing two people in quick succession, Seii's actions didn't stop.
A flash of green light appeared on him as he once again used the "Instant Sword Technique" to teleport in front of another Hidden Mist chunin.
Clang!
The sound of blades clashing rang out as sparks flew when his longsword collided with a kunai.
The Hidden Mist chunin, catching a glimpse of Seii's raised left hand and recalling the fate of his companion monts earlier, quickly pushed off with both feet. Using the rebound force from the kunai, he retreated backward.
However, Seii's raised hand was rely a feint. In the instant their gazes t, he unleashed the "Genjutsu: Sharingan."
In just a mont, the Hidden Mist chunin's consciousness was drawn into an illusion.
Seii's left hand ford a knife-like shape and sliced through the air, seemingly cutting the opponent's throat.
The next second, blood gushed out in torrents.
Although his throat hadn't been physically touched, it was as if a sharp blade had indeed sliced it open, leaving a deep wound.
This wasn't an illusion; it was the damage caused by Seii's "Chakra Scalpel."
With his diverse techniques, dealing with an average chunin was almost effortless for him.
Ignoring the suffocating Hidden Mist chunin breaking free from the genjutsu, Seii's green light flashed again as he appeared beside another nearby Hidden Mist chunin.
This ti, before he could strike, a flurry of shuriken flew toward him.
Seii's sharp peripheral vision caught sight of the attackers—several other Hidden Mist chunin.
It was clear that his three consecutive attacks had allowed them to discern a pattern: he always targeted the nearest opponent.
Thus, they had prepared in advance.
Otherwise, given their reaction speed, it would have been too late to counter once he appeared.
Despite their anticipation, Seii remained unfazed.
Abandoning his attack on the nearest target, he dodged the incoming shuriken with ease. Not only that, but he also pinpointed their positions and hurled shuriken back at them.
This swift shift between offense and defense threw the Hidden Mist chunin into disarray.
Seizing the opportunity, Seii targeted one of them and executed a jutsu: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!
Instantly, the single shuriken flying toward the Hidden Mist chunin multiplied into dozens, all aid at him.
Seeing this, the chunin's face visibly paled.
However, his strength was comndable. Though he had little ti to react, he managed to use the "Substitution Jutsu" at the last mont.
Thunk thunk thunk!
A series of dull thuds sounded as most of Seii's cloned shuriken embedded themselves into a wooden stake.
From behind a distant tree, the Hidden Mist chunin reappeared, his face pale with fear but also showing relief at having narrowly escaped.
Yet, before he could fully express his relief, another Hidden Mist chunin shouted a warning:
"Watch out!"
The warning was accompanied by a dead-set gaze directed behind him.
At that mont, he realized Seii was no longer standing where he had been.
A bead of cold sweat dripped from his forehead as he glanced behind. Though he couldn't see anyone, the shadow on the ground made it clear—soone was standing right behind him.
In that instant, his mind raced. He calculated Seii's position based on the shadow and swung his arm, thrusting his kunai backward toward the attacker's neck.
Unfortunately, while his brain issued the command, his body failed to execute it.
Almost simultaneously, his vision abruptly shifted—lifting, spinning, and finally revealing a headless corpse and a familiar figure.
"Is that... ?"
A sliver of realization dawned on Kikuta Satoshi as he stared at the corpse.
Before he could fully process it, his gaze moved to the familiar figure behind the body, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
Noticing this, Seii glanced at him.
In that brief mont, the crimson Sharingan filled his vision, erasing the last trace of his consciousness.
Seii, his expression blank, withdrew his gaze and took two steps back to avoid the blood spraying from the severed neck.
Three kills in quick succession—all in re monts—left the surrounding Hidden Mist ninja too stunned to act.
Even as Seii stood motionless, none dared to make a move.
Sweeping his gaze over them, Seii swung his blade, flinging the blood off its edge, before turning toward the Hidden Mist special jonin.
The "Hidden Mist Jutsu" earlier had been his doing. While the timing had been excellent, Seii had countered it effortlessly with a "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough."
This failure left the special jonin's presence severely diminished.
However, as a special jonin, his priority was higher than the surrounding chunin and genin.
After only a brief pause, Seii charged toward him.
The other Hidden Mist ninja, intimidated by his overwhelming presence, dared not obstruct him. The Hidden Mist jonin in the distance, busy fending off two Konoha jonin, were equally unable to intervene.
Left with no choice, the special jonin braced himself to fight.
As for escaping—that was out of the question.
Seii's speed was far superior, and he couldn't risk exposing his back.
Clang clang clang!
The fierce clash of weapons erupted once again.
With masterful swordsmanship, Seii easily overpowered the special jonin.
While the special jonin held his ground, the surrounding chunin began to regain their composure and launched attacks to distract Seii.
However, their abilities were insufficient. Long-range attacks barely drew Seii's attention.
Before long, Seii landed yet another blow, leaving a third wound on the special jonin.
Though none of the injuries were fatal, the cumulative blood loss was taking its toll.
Seizing an opportunity, Seii dodged a side attack from the other chunin and perford a jutsu: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
The fireball blazed toward the special jonin, leaving him with little ti to react.
Relying on his keen senses, the jonin dodged sideways just as the fireball struck a tree behind him, exploding into flas and leaving a charred crater.
Seii's eyes locked onto the jonin as he swiftly changed his hand seals, transitioning into another technique: Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Multiple fireballs shot from Seii's mouth like bullets, heading straight for the jonin.
This ti, he wasn't as fortunate.
Though he avoided critical injuries, several fireballs struck him, leaving him wounded in multiple places.
