Withdrawing his thoughts and shaking the blood off his sword, Seii turned his gaze to Mizutani Shizuko and the Iwa-nin Chunin she was fighting.
It could be seen that after more than twenty minutes of hard fighting, Mizutani Shizuko had completely fallen into a disadvantage, and there were so minor injuries on her body.
Originally, female ninjas were not at an advantage in terms of physical strength, let alone Mizutani Shizuko who was still underage.
Therefore, as the battle progressed, her disadvantage beca greater and greater, and now she was on the verge of defeat, urgently needing his help.
It was precisely because of this that he chose to kill Nishimura Shihei, otherwise he could have continued to conserve his energy and drag the fight out with the opponent.
Whoosh~
A kunai was thrown by Seii, shooting straight at the Iwa-nin Chunin.
...
On the other side.
Hirai Ichiro, holding a kunai, was about to take down Mizutani Shizuko in one go, but unexpectedly, a kunai suddenly flew from the side.
Sensing the danger, Hirai Ichiro hurriedly dodged.
After confirming his safety, he looked in the direction from which the kunai had flown.
He was shocked by what he saw. He had noticed the battle between Seii and Nishimura Shihei for a long ti.
It's just that...
Just now, these two were still fighting back and forth, but in the blink of an eye, Nishimura Shihei was already dead.
Although he and Nishimura Shihei were not very familiar, they had t a few tis, and he had a certain understanding of his strength. The other party was not the best among Chunin, but at least much stronger than him.
But now, the other party was killed, and it was killed by a little kid.
Doesn't that an that this little kid's strength is far superior to his?
Looking at Seii's neat clothes, Hirai Ichiro beca more and more certain of his guess, but there was nothing to be happy about.
The stronger the enemy, the more dangerous his situation.
'What to do?'
Hirai Ichiro glanced around, trying to find a helper.
But unfortunately, the number of Iwa-nin was not dominant, and after more than 20 minutes of lee, there were even fewer survivors.
Now, all the slightly stronger Iwa-nin around were being besieged by two or three Konoha ninjas, and they couldn't spare any ti to help him.
'So, I can only rely on myself.'
Thinking this in his heart, Hirai Ichiro quickly threw the kunai in his hand, then ford seals with both hands, as if to perform so ninjutsu.
Seeing this, Seii dodged the incoming kunai, and at the sa ti quickly ford the six seals of 'Zi-Yin-Xu-Chou-Mao-Yin'.
Imdiately afterwards, he took a deep breath, gathered the Fire Release Chakra in his throat, and then spit it out continuously like a machine gun.
The next mont, flas like balsam seeds appeared continuously, densely packed, and flew towards Hirai Ichiro.
Seeing this scene, Hirai Ichiro's hands that were forming seals unconsciously stopped.
At this ti, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was why it was so fast.
Yes, why so fast?
The answer is simple. Ever since Seii focused on improving the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique' among the three Fire Release ninjutsu, his proficiency has grown rapidly.
Although only about a quarter of his chakra is used on this technique every day, its level has also soared to lv3 (226/1000).
With this level of proficiency, when facing an average Chunin, it's not about dinsionality reduction, but it's not a problem to achieve a latecor advantage.
Just like now, although Seii perford ninjutsu a little later than the opponent, he was the first to perform it in the end.
This caused Hirai Ichiro to be stuck in a dilemma.
If he continued to perform ninjutsu, he would inevitably be attacked by Seii's ninjutsu. If he gave up performing it, the ti he had previously gained would be wasted.
But for the sake of his own life, he could only give up temporarily.
After all, he still couldn't dodge attacks while performing ninjutsu.
So I saw that after Hirai Ichiro was stunned for a while, he imdiately retreated, trying to avoid Seii's ninjutsu attack.
But he wanted to retreat, but soone didn't want him to leave like this.
On the side, Mizutani Shizuko seized the opportunity and decisively took action.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~
Several shurikens flew out, aiming directly at Hirai Ichiro's vital points all over his body.
Sensing the danger, Hirai Ichiro hurriedly dodged.
But his strength was indeed very average. Although he dodged the shuriken thrown by Mizutani Shizuko, his arm was grazed by a fireball spit out by Seii.
Imdiately, a burning sensation ca from his left arm, causing Hirai Ichiro to frown.
Seii keenly captured this detail, so he used the 'Body Flicker Technique' to close the distance and launched an attack on the opponent from the right.
Hirai Ichiro dodged left and right, not daring to confront him head-on.
But the more this happened, the more Seii wanted to force the opponent to fight head-on. His left arm was already injured, and as long as he focused on attacking this half of the opponent's body, he would soon make progress.
Finally, after dodging several swords in a row, Hirai Ichiro had to fight Seii head-on.
But just as Seii expected, not long after the fight, the opponent was severely injured, and his entire left arm was almost cut off by him.
...
Tick tock~
Scarlet blood flowed down his arm, through his palm, and finally dripped from his fingertips.
Hirai Ichiro felt the pain from his left arm, but he didn't dare to take his eyes away from Seii's sword.
Although it was only a brief fight, he already understood how strong Seii's swordsmanship was.
No wonder Nishimura Shihei fell into his hands. With this kind of swordsmanship, let alone Chunin, even Jonin, he might be able to fight a few moves.
Therefore, he didn't dare to look away, for fear that Seii would suddenly launch an attack.
But in the current situation, there was no need for Seii to launch any surprise attacks. Normal combat was enough to deal with the opponent.
With this in mind, Seii jumped up, followed by the clanging sound of short swords and kunai clashing.
Two minutes later, accompanied by the sound of a blade piercing flesh, Seii seized an opportunity and stabbed the short sword into Hirai Ichiro's lower abdon.
Puff~
A mouthful of blood spurted from Hirai Ichiro's mouth.
At the last mont of his life, Hirai Ichiro activated an explosive tag, trying to grab Seii's arm and die with him.
Unfortunately, the opponent was already at the end of his rope, and his movents were slow. Before he could make a move, Seii had already distanced himself.
The next mont, a violent explosion sounded, and a crimson fla rose, instantly engulfing Hirai Ichiro.
It wasn't until this mont that Mizutani Shizuko ca over.
In the previous battle, the pace was too fast, and Mizutani Shizuko couldn't intervene at all, so she simply recovered her strength on the side.
The ninja's endurance was far superior to ordinary people, and in just a short while, Mizutani Shizuko had recovered a lot of strength.
Seeing the other party coming over, Seii was about to say sothing when another person suddenly appeared beside him.
Mizutani Shizuko still had so stress reactions and imdiately raised the kunai in her hand, while Seii didn't make any movents.
It wasn't that his reaction was slower than Mizutani Shizuko's.
On the contrary, it was precisely because he saw the person's face clearly that he didn't act rashly.
The person who ca was none other than the captain of their small teams, nad Haruki Sei, who was a special Jonin.
Haruki Sei ignored Mizutani Shizuko's overreaction and directly ordered: "You guys go to E3 area imdiately and obey the orders of the second squad captain."
After saying that, without any hesitation, he imdiately ran in another direction.
Seii followed the opponent's footsteps and saw that there were two Konoha Chunin who had just dealt with the enemy and were taking a short rest. He imdiately understood that the opponent was gathering people.
But...
'E3 area?'
'Isn't this another route from the Iwa-nin headquarters to that logistics base?'
'Could it be that Iwagakure Village has sent people again?'
The more he thought about it, the more Seii felt it was possible, and he couldn't help but curse
