As soon as he noticed their movents, Seii let out a low shout, unleashing an astonishing surge of chakra from his body.
Imdiately, he converted a large amount of chakra into Lightning Style chakra, channeling it through his feet into the waters below.
In an instant, the surrounding electrical energy intensified significantly.
Moreover, under Seii's control, the lightning ford a barrier around Danzo and the others, blocking their path and preventing them from reaching the branches and trunks nearby.
To be honest, even if they did get close, it wouldn't make much difference—the branches and trunks were already soaked in water and might not be insulated at all.
Still, Seii had no intention of letting them have their way.
Soon, the five opponents were forced to scatter under the relentless pursuit of the lightning.
Seeing this, Seii thought to himself, "A perfect opportunity!"
Without hesitation, he ford hand seals and unleashed a B-rank jutsu: Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
His target was the closest Root Jonin.
The Jonin, who was already struggling against the lightning assault, suddenly found himself facing a water dragon charging straight at him. Despite his rich combat experience and quick reflexes, he barely managed to evade the Water Dragon Bullet at the last mont.
However, his brief contact with the lightning caused temporary paralysis.
At that precise mont, a transparent wind blade sliced through the air, hitting him squarely in the neck before piercing through, leaving a bloody gash.
The Root ninja froze instantly.
Reaching out, he tried to touch his neck.
But before his hand could make contact, his head slid from his neck, falling into the water with a splash that sent ripples outward.
The next mont, a fountain of blood shot three ters high from his severed neck.
Seii didn't even spare a glance at the fallen opponent. Confirming that his Wind Style: Wind Blade was effective, he shifted his focus to another Root Jonin.
Splash!
With a powerful step on the water's surface, Seii sent waves rippling outward as his own figure shot forward like a cannonball.
As he advanced, he unsheathed the long blade from his waist and executed Blink Sword Technique, accelerating again to close the distance in the blink of an eye.
Whoosh!
The blade swung downward!
In the instant when the blade and the opponent's gaze intersected, Seii cast Illusion Sword Technique and Shadow Sword Technique simultaneously.
Six afterimages, three real and three false, slashed toward the Jonin in unison.
This ti, the Root Jonin refrained from a desperate counterattack.
Well, not so much out of fear as out of futility.
Danzo and the other two Root Jonin were too far away. Even if he sacrificed himself to stall Seii, they wouldn't be able to intervene in ti.
Given the circumstances, a head-on confrontation was aningless.
As the opponent retreated, Seii sneered and stomped heavily on the water's surface again, his figure vanishing and reappearing at the Jonin's side in a flash.
Whoosh!
Another slash!
The Root Jonin quickly raised his short sword to block.
Clang!
The clash of blade and sword rang out, a muffled echo of tal against tal.
Rather than engage in a contest of strength, Seii instantly moved again, appearing on the Jonin's other side to launch another attack.
Once again, the Jonin raised his sword to block.
But this ti, Seii activated Lightning Style: Thunder Blade!
A blinding flash of lightning erupted.
A surge of electricity flowed from Seii's hand into the blade, traveling along the point of contact to the opponent's short sword.
A tingling, numbing sensation spread through the Jonin's arm, and he imdiately realized sothing was wrong.
Instinctively, he let go of the short sword.
To his credit, his reaction was incredibly swift.
Had he been even slightly slower, allowing the electricity to fully course through his body, releasing the weapon would have been nearly impossible.
However, this reaction was enough for Seii.
Deprived of his weapon, the Jonin posed no further threat. Without hesitation, Seii closed the distance, stepping directly in front of his opponent.
Extending his left hand, a dense chakra sphere materialized in his palm.
Then, with brutal precision, he pressed it into the Jonin's abdon.
Crack!
The sound of a bone breaking echoed sharply.
Struck with such force, the Root Anbu ninja spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Yet, despite this heavy blow, he did not retreat. Instead, he grabbed Seii's left wrist, attempting to hold him in place.
At this mont, two other Root Anbu had already closed in. If he could delay Seii's movents even slightly, it would create an opportunity for the other two to land a killing strike.
Unfortunately for him, he overestimated his chances.
Seii's physical constitution was at an impressive 21 points and, within just a few days, would reach 22.
The strength granted by such a physique, especially when unleashed in a burst, was far beyond what an ordinary person could withstand.
Moreover, Seii possessed the Sharingan, which allowed him to see through every one of his opponent's movents with complete clarity.
Perhaps because he had just executed the Rasengan attack, Seii couldn't avoid the enemy's grasp in ti. However, before the opponent could apply any real force, Seii had already broken free of the hold.
Thus, the opponent's attempt to restrain him amounted to nothing.
With a swift sidestep, Seii evaded the entanglent effortlessly.
Not only that, but he also hurled a shuriken in return, striking the opponent precisely in the throat.
Now, two out of the five enemies had been eliminated.
As Seii watched the remaining two rapidly approaching, he didn't hesitate. Sheathing his blade, he ford hand seals and executed a ninjutsu technique: Lightning Style: Thunder Serpent!
Crackle!
Two almost overlapping thunderclaps resounded.
Blinding arcs of lightning suddenly appeared in Seii's palms, forming two spheres of crackling electricity.
The next mont, the spheres transford into two serpents of lightning that shot toward the enemies at incredible speed.
However, the two Root Anbu proved highly reactive. With several quick movents, they dodged the lightning serpents and closed the distance to Seii.
Their kunai glead as they thrust toward Seii's vital areas.
Noticing this, Seii's Sharingan spun rapidly. After reading their movents, he dodged their attacks with a single sidestep.
The two attackers didn't falter. Without a mont's pause, they turned back and attacked again, this ti coming at Seii from both sides.
This ti, Seii chose not to evade. Instead, he raised his hands, swiftly forming seals. At the last possible mont, he activated Earth Style: Hardened Skin Technique.
In an instant, his skin beca as tough as iron.
When the kunai struck him, they produced tallic clinks, as if striking solid steel.
Ignoring their subsequent reactions, Seii changed his hand seals once more and unleashed another ninjutsu technique: Wind Style: Devouring Gale!
In a flash, countless razor-sharp wind blades materialized around him.
They coalesced into a vortex, resembling a violent tornado that consud everything in its vicinity.
This technique had been honed to perfection by Seii through rigorous practice, but it had yet to be tested in combat.
Because of this, the Root Anbu were completely unprepared for it.
Without any chance to counteract, the two attackers were swept into the deadly vortex.
Much like the Lightning Style: Thunder Prison technique, this jutsu was also one that could result in mutual destruction. Its lethality was naturally devastating.
As a result, the two were instantly overwheld, their bodies shredded as if subjected to a thousand cuts. The scene was as grueso as it was horrific.
Even these hardened Root Anbu could not suppress muffled groans of pain.
Yet, their resilience was remarkable. Despite their injuries, they gritted their teeth and pushed forward, both converging on Seii in a desperate attempt to take him down.
At this point, the enhanced toughness of Seii's skin from the Earth Style technique had already returned to normal. Apart from his "Chakra Cloak," he had no other defensive asures in place.
Seeing this, the two Root Anbu seized the opportunity, determined to strike him down.
But once again, they had underestimated him.
