Chapter 371: Counterattack

Outside, everyone observed Seimei within the barrier, continuously using various ninjutsu to attack the barrier but to no avail. Their reactions varied.

Uchiha Tetsuka and the other Konoha ninjas were all tense, their faces filled with seriousness, while Yukikaze and the other Mist ninjas on the field showed expressions of joy.

At the same time, deep in their eyes, there was a hint of relief.

Finally, as the white mist filled the barrier again, blocking everyone's view, Yukikaze and the other Mist ninjas who had just fought with Seimei withdrew their gazes and looked at Uchiha Tetsuka and the others.

Then, without anyNonsense, they directly ordered, "Kill!"

Uchiha Tetsuka and the others had stopped during their escape and were now close to the Mist ninjas, making it difficult to disengage from the fight.

Therefore, it was foreseeable that a fierce battle was about to ensue.

However, just as the Mist ninjas were about to take action, the barrier behind them suddenly disappeared.

"What's going on?"

Yukikaze and the other Mist Jonin's expressions changed drastically as they saw this scene. They quickly looked towards the four Mist Anbu.

Then, they witnessed the scene of Seimei snapping the neck of the Mist Anbu.

Seeing Seimei suddenly appear outside the barrier, everyone's minds went blank for a moment, completely unaware of what had just happened.

Seizing this opportunity, Seimei formed hand seals, gathered a large amount of chakra, took a deep breath, and then performed the jutsu - Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!

Coincidentally, due to the previous delay, most of the Mist ninjas had gathered in front of him, making it convenient for him to cast the jutsu.

In the next moment, a hurricane appeared, and the entire Mist ninja formation was attacked from behind, leaving them no time to react.

Their formation instantly fell into chaos.

Seeing this, Yukikaze gathered chakra beneath his feet, staying close to the sea surface to stabilize himself, and shouted loudly, "Don't panic! Everyone, gather around me!"

As he spoke, he raised his hands, swiftly formed seals, and performed the jutsu - Ice Release: Ice Wall at an unprecedented speed!

He pressed his hands onto the sea surface in front of him, injecting a large amount of Ice Release chakra into the water.

In the next moment, an ice wall, seven to eight meters high and dozens of meters long, rose from the sea, standing in front of everyone, blocking the strong gusts of wind.

Only then did everyone regain their footing.

However, misfortune never comes alone.

Just as Seimei used the "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough" to disrupt the Mist ninja formation, Uchiha Tetsuka and the others counterattacked and returned.

This wasn't Seimei's instruction but their own initiative.

Although such an action went against Seimei's previous orders, he had to admit that they chose a good timing.

At this moment, the Mist ninjas in the field were all resisting Seimei's Wind Release ninjutsu. How could they have the energy to deal with Uchiha Tetsuka and the group of Konoha ninjas who were trying to escape?

So, they were caught off guard.

However, if Seimei couldn't create more chaos later, the Mist ninjas would only be confused for a while. Once those Jonin recovered, it would be the end for Uchiha Tetsuka and the others.

Fortunately, Seimei had no intention of abandoning them.

Looking at the ice wall erected in front, Seimei didn't hesitate at all. He immediately stopped performing the "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough."

Then, with a flash, he approached the ice wall.

In the next moment, a harsh scraping sound rang out again.

Zzzt~

A giant shuriken, formed from condensed chakra, once again appeared in the palm of Seimei's left hand.

That's right, it was the S-rank forbidden technique - Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!

Indeed, as a forbidden technique, frequent use of the "Wind Release: Rasenshuriken" would damage one's own body and meridians.

Even though his "Wind Release: Rasenshuriken" had already reached the peak of lv5, just one step away from lv6, it was still unavoidable.

However, with the lv8 "Palm Healing Jutsu" and the powerful recovery ability brought by his 18 "Constitution" points, this frequency wasn't a big deal for now.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Seimei pressed the rapidly spinning "Wind Release: Rasenshuriken" in his hand onto the ice wall.

In the next moment, a massive amount of ice debris fell like dust, and a giant hole was instantly opened in the ice wall.

Looking at the stunned Mist Chunin on the other side of the ice wall, Seimei drew his long sword and instantly slashed, cutting the opponent's throat.

"Ah!"

At this moment, another Mist ninja beside him reacted and was about to stab his kunai to attack.

However, in the next moment, Seimei glanced at him, and the person froze in place.

Whoosh~

A shuriken flew out, aiming straight for his throat.

Pierce~

His throat was pierced, and the intense feeling of suffocation made the Mist ninja break free from the genjutsu.

However, it was too late.

He clutched his throat, staggered back a few steps, and then fell heavily, splashing water around him.

Seimei withdrew his gaze and scanned his surroundings. Seeing more and more people gathering towards him, a surge of heroism suddenly rose in his heart.

So, without any intention of dodging, he directly charged forward with his sword drawn.

Clang, clang, clang~

He deflected the incoming kunai and shuriken with precise sword strikes.

The two sides clashed, and Seimei used his "Genjutsu: Sharingan" to immobilize one person, then swung his sword, ending his life.

Then, more people surrounded and attacked him.

Seimei pushed his three-tomoe Sharingan to its limit, observing the movements of the people around him. His entire being seemed to enter a state of selflessness.

At this moment, their attack speed, attack angles, attack methods, and a series of other information flashed through his mind.

His brain also worked rapidly, analyzing and summarizing this information, then prioritizing it based on urgency.

Finally, he either dodged or counterattacked, neutralizing them one by one.

At this moment, he was like a cold machine, devoid of any emotions, only knowing to act according to the program.

It was precisely this efficient action that allowed him to move among the Mist ninjas as if they were nothing, sending chills down their spines.

Finally, the Mist Jonin who specialized in auditory genjutsu couldn't stand it anymore and directly cast an indiscriminate genjutsu, affecting Seimei and a large group of people around him.

No, to be more precise, it affected the people around Seimei. Seimei himself only stumbled a couple of steps but didn't fall.

Regaining his senses, Seimei recalled his previous state and thought to himself, "If this were in a cultivation or fantasy world, it would probably be considered a moment of enlightenment, right?"

However, in the ninja world, this was just the state he exhibited when he pushed the power of his three-tomoe Sharingan to the limit, along with suppressing his emotions to the minimum.

Although he gained a lot of proficiency in "Illusionary Sword Technique" and "Instantaneous Body Flicker Technique" during this time, that was all.

As long as he focused a little, he could enter this state again next time. There was no so-called enlightenment.

However, even so, Seimei was still a bit angry.

The opponent's abrupt interruption had caused him to lose a lot of proficiency invisibly, and proficiency, to him, meant time and effort.

So, to make up for the lost time and effort, he could only send the opponent to their death.

With this thought, Seimei's body glowed with a green light, merging him and his long sword into one.

In the next moment, the "Instantaneous Body Flicker Technique" was activated.

Seimei's figure suddenly turned into an afterimage, moving at an extremely fast speed, bypassing the people on the ground who hadn't yet broken free from the genjutsu and were shaking their heads. He arrived in front of the Mist Jonin.
