Clang! Clang! Clang!
The battle raged on.
Seii activated his Sharingan with three tomoe to its fullest extent, carefully observing the movents of his three opponents.
At one point, he suddenly stepped back, narrowly avoiding Kuroki Izumiya's kunai aid at his throat.
Without waiting for Kuroki to adjust his stance, Seii swung his blade in a fierce slash, aiming directly at Kuroki's chest.
Kuroki glanced to his sides, realizing that his two allies couldn't assist in ti. He imdiately retracted his kunai to block Seii's strike.
Clang!
The kunai collided with Seii's blade, emitting a deep, tallic sound.
Sparks flew from the clash, and a powerful force surged forth.
Kuroki's expression shifted slightly as he stepped back to dissipate so of the impact.
However, Seii was relentless. Seeing his opponent retreat, he imdiately followed up with another slash.
Kuroki hurriedly raised his kunai to block once again.
Clang!
The familiar tallic sound rang out once more.
The force from the strike traveled through the kunai. Having barely regained his footing after the previous clash, Kuroki was forced to retreat again.
Seii's eyes glimred. He stepped forward once more, swinging his blade yet again.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
In a series of three consecutive strikes, Kuroki managed to block all of them but couldn't maintain his stance. He was sent flying by the sheer force of Seii's attacks.
"Phew…"
Exhaling softly, Seii flickered away from his position.
Almost instantly after he moved, a Mist Special Jonin stabbed at his previous location with a kunai, piercing through only an afterimage.
Another Mist Special Jonin threw several shuriken toward Seii's new position.
Seii's Sharingan spun rapidly, locking onto the incoming shuriken. He swung his blade, deflecting each one with precision.
Without hesitation, he sheathed his blade and quickly ford hand seals, unleashing a jutsu toward the three opponents—Water Release: Water Severing Wave!
Zzzzz!
A high-pressure stream of water shot from Seii's mouth like a sharp cutting blade. With a turn of his head, the stream swept across the area ahead.
However, having seen him use this jutsu against Fukui Takuichi earlier, Kuroki and his team were prepared.
They dodged almost simultaneously, evading the attack and halting their advance.
Seizing the mont, Seii targeted the nearest Mist Special Jonin and perford another jutsu—Fire Release: Incineration Technique!
Seii's hand seals were so fast that the Mist Special Jonin couldn't discern which jutsu was being used. Instinctively, he dodged to the right.
Seeing this, a knowing smile appeared on Seii's face.
Realizing Seii's expression, Sugiyama Daichi felt a pang of unease and tried to stop himself and change direction.
But it was too late.
Boom!
A burst of flas ignited, engulfing his clothing and quickly spreading to consu his entire body.
"Ahhh!"
Sugiyama's agonized screams echoed as he desperately tried to extinguish the flas, to no avail.
Seii hadn't held back this ti, expending nearly a thousand chakra points. The jutsu's power was far beyond what he had previously used against the Mist Chunin.
Sugiyama, unable to extinguish the flas, suffered their full fury.
Of course, Seii's success was partly due to the intelligence he had gathered.
Earlier, while engaging Kuroki and his team, Seii noticed Sugiyama's habitual tendency to dodge right when faced with uncertain attacks.
This ti, Seii recreated a similar scenario. Sugiyama reacted instinctively, dodging to the right.
Against a seasoned Jonin, such a habit would usually be inconsequential. But Seii anticipated this behavior, aiming his attack at the predicted dodge path.
By the ti Sugiyama realized the danger, it was too late.
"Daichi!"
The remaining Mist Special Jonin, seeing Sugiyama consud by flas, quickly ford hand seals to use a water jutsu to extinguish the fire.
But his actions were within Seii's calculations.
Dodging a kunai thrown by Kuroki, Seii ford hand seals for another jutsu—Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Fla bullets resembling phoenix flower seeds shot out, each controlled by Seii to target Kuroki and the Mist Special Jonin.
Caught off guard, the two were forced to evade.
Despite the disruption, the Mist Special Jonin managed to complete a water jutsu, dousing Sugiyama and extinguishing the flas.
Zzzzz!
The sound of steam hissed as water t fire, and Sugiyama's screams intensified.
However, Seii didn't pay attention to Sugiyama. His gaze fixed on the Special Jonin who had just completed the water jutsu. Seii ford a new hand seal, unleashing Wind Release: Blade of Wind!
A nearly invisible half-ter-long wind blade appeared and sliced through the air toward the Mist Special Jonin's neck.
"Watch out!"
Kuroki's warning ca just in ti.
Slash!
The sound of flesh being cut echoed as a wound appeared on the Mist Special Jonin's neck.
Although the blade didn't decapitate him as Seii had hoped, Kuroki's warning and the Jonin's reflexes allowed him to narrowly avoid a fatal blow.
"Damn it," Seii muttered, retreating quickly to avoid another kunai, this one with an explosive tag attached.
Boom!
The explosion rocked the area.
Seii shielded himself from the blast and smoke with his hands while continuing to retreat.
Suddenly, a water column shot out from the smoke, aiming directly at him.
Unlike Seii's earlier Water Severing Wave, this water jutsu had a broader diater and focused more on its impact force.
Seii sidestepped the attack without hesitation, only to face another water column.
This ti, instead of dodging, Seii quickly ford hand seals. Just before the water struck, he unleashed Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique!
The massive shark-shaped water jutsu devoured the incoming water column, growing larger as it absorbed the attack, before lunging toward its origin.
