Sensing the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God mark in his mind, Seii swiftly dashed through the forest. In no ti, he caught up with the Konoha spy.
At this mont, the spy was under siege by the two Kumogakure Chūnin from before, along with another Cloud ninja squad. He had already sustained so minor injuries.
Additionally, based on the Byakugan's vision, several Jōnin squads were rapidly approaching. If they couldn't resolve the battle quickly, they would be in serious trouble.
Without any hesitation, Seii raised his hand and ford seals, unleashing the Wind Release: Great Breakthrough technique.
Whoosh~~~
A violent gust of wind erupted from his mouth, instantly dispersing the surrounding fog.
With his vision cleared, he imdiately hurled a shuriken.
In the next mont, he rapidly ford seals and cast an A-rank ninjutsu—Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!
He had already mastered this technique to Level 9 (0/0)—the pinnacle of perfection. When combined with the powerful insight of his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, its threat level skyrocketed, especially against lower-ranked ninja.
Just like now, in just the span of a breath, the single shuriken multiplied into hundreds, splitting into multiple waves that rained down upon the Cloud ninja like a dragon's fangs.
Faced with this sudden threat, the Cloud ninja all ceased their attacks on the Konoha spy, focusing instead on their own defense.
Seizing this opportunity, the Konoha spy broke free from the encirclent and rushed to Seii's side.
Ignoring the impact of his Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, Seii simply said, "Follow ." Without looking back, he sprinted toward the mountain.
Without hesitation, the Konoha spy followed closely behind.
However, they had barely covered so distance before a Kumogakure squad blocked their path.
Ordinarily, with the Byakugan's presence, Seii shouldn't have made such a basic mistake.
In reality, he hadn't.
Taking this route was a decision of necessity.
As the battle progressed, more and more Cloud ninja squads had gathered nearby.
Given their speed, choosing any other path would have resulted in encounters with at least two regular squads or a Jōnin squad.
As the saying goes, "When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one." Seii had no choice but to lead the way here.
Seeing Seii and the spy approaching, the Cloud ninja squad wasted no ti launching their attack.
So threw kunai, others cast ninjutsu, while so fired signal flares—coordinating their assault seamlessly.
But it was all useless.
Since Seii had already foreseen the ambush, how could he not be prepared?
Before their attacks could land, he had already completed his hand seals and slamd his palm onto the ground, unleashing Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!
Boom!
The ground trembled violently.
Suddenly, a ten-ter-long, five-ter-high earthen wall erupted from the earth, blocking all incoming attacks.
Not stopping there, Seii swiftly turned around and cast another ninjutsu toward the approaching Cloud ninja—Earth Release: Earth Flow River!
Although only a B-rank jutsu, it was perfect for this situation.
Since Seii had the high ground, transforming the terrain into flowing earth required little effort. The earth churned like a raging river, cascading down the mountain.
Everything in its path—rocks, trees, grass—was swallowed whole.
Faced with such a devastating technique, the pursuing Cloud ninja had no choice but to halt their advance.
Seeing this, Seii shouted to the Konoha spy beside him, "Go!"
As he spoke, he leaped onto the earthen wall and cast Wind Release: Great Breakthrough once again, dispersing the Cloud ninja squad preparing to launch a second attack.
Then, without hesitation, he charged through their blockade with the Konoha spy.
During this ti, the Kumogakure Chūnin and Genin launched several counterattacks, but Seii and the spy managed to deflect them all.
After that, Seii adapted to the situation, utilizing different ninjutsu as needed to break through multiple defensive lines. Finally, they managed to escape the encirclent—at least for now.
Huff… Huff…
Heavy breathing ca from the spy beside him.
Thanks to his 22-point Stamina attribute and over 300,000 Chakra points, even after sprinting and fighting relentlessly, Seii showed no signs of exhaustion.
On the other hand, the Konoha spy was struggling to keep up.
Of course, the main reason for his weakened state was simple—he had been poisoned.
That's right—poisoned.
During their escape, the spy had been careless and was grazed by a kunai thrown by one of the Cloud ninja.
And that kunai had been coated in poison.
Now, his face was deathly pale.
Fortunately, it was all over now.
Using his Byakugan, Seii confird that the nearest Cloud ninja would need several more seconds to reach them.
That was more than enough ti for them to escape.
With that in mind, Seii raised his hand and activated Wind Release: Wings of Wind!
Whoosh!
Silently, a pair of massive chakra wings materialized on his back. Every feather was intricately detailed, resembling real wings.
Since he had to carry another person, Seii deliberately made the wings larger.
While this would reduce stability and slightly slow his flight speed, once airborne, nothing could stop them.
Speed was no longer a concern.
Seii grabbed the Konoha spy's arm and, under the despairing gazes of the Cloud ninja, flapped his wings and soared into the sky.
So of the Cloud ninja, unwilling to give up, stood on the mountainside and launched attacks.
Unfortunately, every attack was effortlessly dodged by Seii.
And once he gained altitude, the Cloud ninja could do nothing but watch helplessly.
Still, they continued to chase from below, running in the direction of his flight path, as if hoping he would land again.
Seeing this, Seii let out a chuckle.
Then, flapping his wings once more, he accelerated toward a dense forest within the Land of Lightning.
Why not fly straight back?
Simple—the Konoha spy was on the verge of collapse. He needed imdiate dical attention before he could be transported back.
Luckily, Seii was well-versed in dical ninjutsu. Otherwise, even with the convenience of flight, the mission could have ended in failure.
This was proof of the unpredictability and high difficulty of A-rank missions—without sufficient strength, completing them was impossible.
…
Ti passed—nearly an hour and a half.
Night had fallen.
Seii arrived above the designated forest.
Using his Byakugan, he scanned the area and confird there were no Cloud ninja or other threats nearby.
Only then did he land.
Looking at the unconscious Konoha spy, he first erased the Flying Thunder God mark on his arm before beginning detoxification and wound treatnt.
The process went smoothly.
With his Master-Level Delicate Illness Extraction Technique, removing this non-specialized poison was effortless.
As for other internal and external injuries, his Chakra Scalpel and Mystical Palm Technique were more than enough to heal them.
