Chapter 367: Kill

"Kill!"

A few moments later, the wind tornado dissipated, the gale ceased, and the two sides clashed, emitting deafening shouts of battle.

A flash of green light appeared as Seimei used the "Instantaneous Body Flicker Technique" to approach one of the enemies. His long sword swung out, slicing through the opponent's throat before they could react.

Immediately after, his figure flickered, dodging a kunai thrust from the side. He countered with the "Illusionary Sword Technique," slicing open the attacker's carotid artery as they looked on in confusion.

Puff~

A large amount of blood gushed out.

Seimei didn't stop. He turned his head and looked at the Kiri-nin Chunin rushing towards him from the right, activating his "Genjutsu: Sharingan."

Instantly, a crimson hue filled the person's vision. By the time they broke free from the genjutsu's influence, a long sword had already pierced their heart.

Seimei expressionlessly pulled out the long sword, shifted his footing, bypassed the opponent, and charged towards another Kiri-nin Chunin.

Because these Kiri-nin had been disrupted by his "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough" and could only fight individually for the time being, he managed to kill several of them in a short period.

However, the Kiri-nin's reaction wasn't slow either.

When he killed the sixth person, a Jonin finally arrived. Although it was just a Special Jonin, it was enough to hold him off for a moment.

And in that brief moment, several more Kiri-nin Jonin arrived.

Among them, the strongest was none other than Yukikaze, who had just exchanged blows with his shadow clone not long ago.

As soon as Yukikaze arrived, he gave Seimei a show of force.

A series of "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sounds rang out as countless ice needles shot towards him, like a shower of flowers, covering an area around him.

Seimei's Sharingan spun rapidly. After confirming that he couldn't dodge, he immediately raised his hands, swiftly formed hand seals, and finally, before the ice needles reached him, performed the jutsu - Water Release: Water Wall!

A water wall suddenly rose, blocking his front.

The ice needles hit the water wall, penetrating a certain distance, but ultimately failed to pierce through it and were stopped.

However, this didn't mean that Yukikaze's attack had no effect. At the very least, it bought time for others to join forces.

So, at the moment the water wall disappeared, two Kiri-nin Jonin on the left and right almost simultaneously performed jutsu.

Two water pillars shot out from their mouths, both aiming at Seimei in the middle.

Not only that, but two Kiri-nin Jonin from behind also threw their kunai, targeting Seimei's back.

In an instant, a three-sided attack formation was formed, and Seimei seemed to have no room to dodge.

However, even facing such a predicament, Seimei didn't show any panic.

The sea surface beneath his feet suddenly caved in, and a tremendous force emerged, propelling Seimei high into the air, narrowly avoiding the attacks of the three.

However, this also caused him to lose his footing, turning him into a sitting duck.

The surrounding Kiri-nin Jonin naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity.

First was Yukikaze, who once again used the previous Ice Release ninjutsu, condensing countless ice needles and firing them at Seimei like a torrential rain.

It was clear that his goal wasn't to kill Seimei but to restrict his movement with this method.

At the same time, the other four Kiri-nin Jonin either performed ninjutsu or threw kunai and shuriken, all attacking Seimei together.

Seeing these attacks all around, Seimei's Sharingan spun rapidly, taking in all the attacks and prioritizing them based on their urgency.

Then, he formed a one-handed seal and instantly performed the jutsu - Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique.

A stream of flames erupted from his mouth, transforming into a fire dragon and lunging forward.

This not only melted a large number of ice needles shot from the front but also forced Yukikaze to defend himself.

Ignoring Yukikaze, who was forming an ice wall in front of him, Seimei twisted his waist and abdomen, contorting his body at an incredible angle, narrowly dodging the ninjutsu attacks of the two Kiri-nin Jonin.

As for the final kunai and shuriken...

A series of "Clang, clang, clang" sounds rang out as Seimei swung his long sword, accurately blocking them all.

At this point, the crisis was resolved.

And all of this, though it seemed long in description, actually happened in an instant.

Seimei's feet landed on the sea surface, and in the next moment, he launched a counterattack.

He first used a quick "Genjutsu: Sharingan" to control one person on the side, attracting another Kiri-nin Jonin to come to the rescue.

Then, he used the "Instantaneous Body Flicker Technique" to attack another person.

This person couldn't dodge in time and could only engage in close combat with him.

Clang, clang, clang~

The long sword and kunai clashed rapidly, producing a series of sounds.

The two were entangled with each other. Seeing this, the other Kiri-nin Jonin didn't dare to throw any ninja tools or use ninjutsu to attack recklessly.

Seeing that the Kiri-nin Jonin was completely suppressed by Seimei, they had no choice but to join in.

Seimei fought against multiple opponents, and although he was slightly at a disadvantage, he wasn't afraid at all.

Or rather, this was the outcome he desired.

Because only in close combat could he better find opportunities.

His Sharingan spun rapidly, and he frequently used the "Illusionary Sword Technique" and the "Instantaneous Body Flicker Technique." Surrounded by five Kiri-nin Jonin, Seimei dodged attacks while occasionally counterattacking.

For a time, neither side could gain the upper hand.

However, this was only temporary. As time went on, Seimei gradually grasped their behavioral patterns, and an opportunity arose.

At a certain moment, he suddenly swung his sword, blocking the attack of a Kiri-nin Jonin in front. Then, he lowered his body, dodging a kunai thrust from the side a step ahead.

And it was in this split second that the attacks of the Kiri-nin Jonin failed to connect.

In the next moment, Seimei extended his left hand, and the "Rasengan" took shape. A light blue, high-density chakra ball appeared and was pressed against the chest of a Kiri-nin Jonin on the side.

Sensing the danger, this person wanted to dodge.

However, Seimei didn't give him the chance. The moment their eyes met, he activated the "Genjutsu: Sharingan."

Instantly, the person's movements froze.

Seeing this, another Kiri-nin Jonin beside him immediately swung his kunai, aiming for Seimei's neck, trying to force him to abandon his attack.

But Seimei seemed to have anticipated his reaction. Almost at the same moment he swung the kunai, Seimei's body shifted to the side.

Slash~

The sound of a blade cutting through flesh rang out.

Drops of blood splattered.

Although Seimei reacted in time and avoided a fatal blow to his neck, a shallow wound still appeared on his shoulder.

However, it was worth it.

The chakra ball in his left palm slammed directly into the Kiri-nin Jonin's chest, sending him flying.

Puff~

A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, and his aura instantly weakened. He had clearly lost his combat ability.
