Chapter 370: No Chance

Seimei's feeling was not wrong; Kirigakure was indeed targeting him.

Although Kirigakure didn't send anyone to scout the situation at Eagle's Beak Cliff beforehand for this surprise attack, they learned from a spy that the person in charge of guarding this place was him.

And Kirigakure had experienced his strength more than once, clearly understanding how difficult he was to deal with and knowing that ordinary methods would be hard to take him down.

Hence, they made these preparations.

Currently, the "Four Mists Sealing Formation" cast by these four Kirigakure Anbu was specifically prepared for him.

This time, Kirigakure's goal was not so much to capture Eagle's Beak Cliff stronghold as it was to capture him.

That's right, his importance was now equivalent to capturing a Konoha stronghold and creating an opportunity for a full-scale invasion for the village.

Originally, they planned to lure him out during the attack on Eagle's Beak Cliff stronghold and then encircle and kill him.

Unexpectedly, before the offensive and defensive battle even began, he appeared first.

So, the four Kirigakure Anbu decisively took action and trapped him here.

Seeing him trapped, Uchiha Tetsuka was the first to stop and shouted, "Captain!"

As he spoke, he was about to turn back and attack the Kirigakure Anbu maintaining the barrier.

Seeing this, some other Konoha ninjas hesitated for a moment, then also stopped, preparing to follow.

Whether they were willing to admit it or not, Seimei was the backbone of everyone. If Seimei fell here, their stronghold would definitely not be able to hold.

Therefore, no matter what, they couldn't let Seimei fight alone.

However, seeing their reaction, Seimei frowned and shouted sternly, "Don't come over!"

Hearing this, intimidated by his aura, everyone stopped.

At the same time, the Kiri-nin quickly moved forward, blocking the path between him and the Konoha ninjas, preventing Uchiha Tetsuka and the others from coming to his aid.

At this point, even if they wanted to help Seimei, they couldn't.

Seimei didn't seem to care much about this and continued to shout, "Go, don't worry about me!"

Hearing this, the Konoha ninjas still hesitated.

The four Kirigakure Anbu had already taken action. They activated another transformation of the sealing formation, causing white mist to rise within.

At first, the white mist was very faint, like the morning mist in the mountains. Although it affected vision, one could still see the surroundings.

But soon, the mist became denser, making it impossible to see one's own hand.

This was why this formation was called the "Four Mists Sealing Formation."

Obviously, Kirigakure had considered everything very thoroughly. They were afraid that an ordinary barrier wouldn't be able to stop Seimei's Sharingan, so they specifically created this sealing formation.

This way, it could not only interfere with Seimei's perception inside but also deprive him of the assistance of his Sharingan.

Regarding this, Seimei could only say that one should never underestimate the heritage of any of the Five Great Ninja Villages. Once your weaknesses were exposed, you would face endless targeting.

Fortunately, his biggest trump card hadn't been revealed yet.

However, before that, he still wanted to test whether he could break this cage with his own abilities.

With this thought, Seimei formed hand seals and instantly performed the jutsu - Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!

He took a deep breath, his chest puffed up high, and then he exhaled forcefully.

In the next moment, a gale roared, and a hurricane mixed with Wind Release chakra gushed out from his mouth, blowing towards the white mist in front.

In the blink of an eye, the dense fog was blown away.

Seimei located the position of the barrier, changed his hand seals, gathered Water Release chakra, and then performed the jutsu - Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Roar~

A giant water dragon appeared, roaring and charging straight towards the water screen barrier in front.

However, the seemingly thin water screen was as hard as steel. The water dragon crashed into it, but it didn't budge at all.

Seeing this, Seimei's expression remained unchanged.

He raised his hands, formed seals again, and this time performed a ninjutsu with even stronger attack power and better at breaking through such solid defenses.

'Wind Release: Wind Blade~'

Seimei chanted silently in his heart, and a giant wind blade over ten meters long appeared between his palms.

As soon as it appeared, it flew towards the barrier at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.

However, at the moment the wind blade made contact with the barrier, the previously iron-hard barrier suddenly became exceptionally soft.

The wind blade cut into it, creating a large dent and a very obvious bulge on the surface of the barrier.

However, that was all.

The wind blade only lasted for less than a breath before completely dissipating.

This method of using softness to overcome hardness made Seimei frown slightly.

Looking at the white mist that was faintly gathering again, Seimei didn't waste any time. He raised his hands once more, formed seals, opened his mouth, and performed the jutsu - Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!

A pillar of fire erupted from his mouth, transforming into a dragon, roaring and charging towards the barrier.

Boom~

The fire dragon crashed into the barrier, but it didn't cause any change to the barrier, and the expected scene of fire and water clashing didn't happen.

In just an instant, the fire dragon turned into countless sparks, scattering in all directions.

Seeing this, Seimei murmured in a low voice, "As expected, sealing jutsu is the most powerful force in this world. It's completely unreasonable!"

Although he still had the "Wind Release: Rasenshuriken" that he hadn't tested, based on the current situation, there was probably no need to test it.

Although the "Wind Release: Rasenshuriken" was powerful, it was still a physical attack. Against this sealing jutsu that seemed like a rule, it most likely wouldn't have any effect.

As for the last time in the ambush, he could break through Yukikaze's ice prison with this move?

That was only because the ice prison was just transformed from one of Yukikaze's ninjutsu, not a sealing jutsu, nor a barrier ninjutsu.

So, it was normal for him to break through it.

Now, it was different. This "Four Mists Sealing Formation" was a genuine sealing jutsu, and it couldn't be broken by ordinary means.

Unless absolute strength was used, it was impossible to break it.

Various thoughts flashed through Seimei's mind.

At this moment, the white mist that he had just dispersed with the "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough" gathered again, obscuring his vision once more.

Looking at the surrounding whiteness, Seimei thought to himself, "This is perfect!"

Then, with a thought, the three tomoe in his pupils suddenly elongated and merged, ultimately transforming into the shape of a black sun. He had activated the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Next, the "Amenotejikara" dojutsu residing in his left eye was activated. Seimei's feet sank into the sea, and he directly passed through the barrier below.

During this process, he didn't encounter any obstacles.

"As expected, 'Amenotejikara' is invincible!"

Seimei sighed inwardly, then his entire body swiftly approached one of the Kirigakure Anbu from below.

Finally, when he was within a meter of the opponent, he deactivated "Amenotejikara" and also closed his Mangekyo Sharingan.

This Kirigakure Anbu was very vigilant and detected his presence almost the moment he deactivated "Amenotejikara."

However, even so, it was still a bit too late.

Bang~

Seimei burst out of the water and instantly grabbed his neck. The "Chakra Absorption Technique" activated, draining his chakra in the blink of an eye.

Then, Seimei's hand exerted a slight force, and with a "crack," he snapped the opponent's neck.

That's right, Seimei's actions were this simple and direct. Since he had determined that conventional methods couldn't help him escape, he directly used his trump card, not giving the opponent any chance to use other techniques.

As the saying goes, the longer the night, the more dreams.

Since the opponent had purposefully trapped him, there would definitely be follow-up measures. Seimei didn't want to test whether he could withstand them.

So, it was better to escape as soon as possible.
