Then he swung his sword once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Clang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The harsh sound of metal clashing rang out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei felt his wrist go numb, and his long sword almost slipped from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he was struggling, Mizuki wasn't having an easy time either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just an instant, the bulk of Mizuki's right arm returned to normal, clearly showing that his jutsu had been broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki gritted his teeth, staring at Seimei's youthful face in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei had no interest in his words. Without hesitation, he swung his sword again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki quickly raised his short sword to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, without the enhancement of the 'Great Water Arm Technique,' his strength was no match for Seimei's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forced to retreat, Mizuki found himself continually pushed back by Seimei's attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that brute force was working, Seimei abandoned sword technique and focused solely on using his raw strength to keep attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Mizuki, afraid of losing the initiative, didn't dare dodge and had no choice but to continue clashing with Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a while, their battle resembled something primitive, with both fighters relying purely on strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, while they were locked in combat, several shuriken suddenly flew from a distance, targeting Seimei's vital points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing danger immediately, Seimei dodged the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he glanced toward the source of the shuriken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw another Mist ninja standing there, poised to attack again at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei recognized him. It was the same Mist ninja who had joined forces with Mizuki earlier to kill a Leaf ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ninja had been watching from the sidelines, unable to interfere in Seimei's fight with Mizuki due to his lack of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he'd found his chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Swish, swish, swish!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More shuriken came flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's Sharingan spun, instantly locking onto the trajectory of the shuriken. With swift, precise strikes, he deflected them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this brief distraction gave Mizuki an opportunity. Forming hand signs quickly, Mizuki pointed his fingers like a gun and launched his jutsu—\"Water Release: Water Bullet Technique!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a droplet of water, like a bullet, shot from his fingertips, speeding toward Seimei's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it hit, Seimei's head would likely burst like a watermelon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the intense danger, Seimei noticed the water droplet out of the corner of his eye. Without hesitation, he poured Fire Release chakra into his sword and swung it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful resistance met his sword as it clashed with the water bullet, and both exploded in the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames roared as Seimei felt the shockwave push him back several steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the water droplet from Mizuki's attack was completely evaporated by the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It can be countered like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizuki's eyes widened in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had expected his technique might not kill Seimei, but he hadn't anticipated this kind of counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This created a brief opening in Mizuki and his Mist ninja ally's coordination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei seized the moment, using his \"Blink Sword Technique\" to transform into a blur of motion, appearing in front of the Mist ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Swish!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of cold light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei swung his long sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the deadly intent, the Mist ninja, Takejima Ichiro, quickly stepped back, attempting to avoid the strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in his vision, Seimei's sword suddenly split into two, attacking him from different angles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confusion filled Takejima's mind, and he hesitated for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That moment of hesitation sealed his fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Slash!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of a blade cutting through flesh echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Takejima made the correct move at the last second, his mind had already been influenced by Seimei's \"Illusion Sword Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, he couldn't completely avoid the strike, and Seimei's blade cut deep into his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Drip, drip.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood dripped from Takejima's arm as Seimei continued his relentless pursuit, ready to strike again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, a bolt of lightning shot toward Seimei, transforming into a rope that wrapped around his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing in that direction, Seimei saw Yamada Shinichi forming hand signs, sending the lightning rope from his palms straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bandage wrapped around Yamada's chest showed he had treated his earlier sword wound and regained some of his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yamada, Seimei recalled the other Mist ninja he had severely injured with his Rasengan earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scanning the battlefield, he spotted that ninja sitting on the ground in the distance, covered in blood and looking utterly miserable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that the Rasengan had done far more damage than Yamada's sword wound.
