Even with his impressive resilience, he would have been left with serious injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chill ran down Seimei's spine, and he thought to himself, \"This is a reminder never to underestimate an enemy—especially these ninja raised through such harsh training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Seimei recognized the technique. He recalled a similar secret ninjutsu from the Konoha Anbu called **Fire Style: Combustion Technique**, which could ignite enemies from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had considered learning this powerful technique when he mastered other Fire Style jutsu, but he had never had the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it had finally shown up—although the circumstances were less than ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, Seimei had observed the entire casting process through his Sharingan, which satisfied the conditions for copying the technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, he had just learned it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his skill panel and, sure enough, there was a new entry: **Fire Style: Combustion Technique, Level 1 (1\u002F200)**.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Level 1 proficiency wouldn't make it useful in battle—unless he could use genjutsu to deceive his opponent, like Kakashi. But that was unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Root ninjas were experienced in battle and had been through special training, making it almost impossible to trap them with a quick genjutsu. Besides, there were two of them, so they could support each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Kakashi's methods wouldn't work for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, it wasn't necessary to overcomplicate things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Root ninjas in front of him were skilled, but they were merely at the level of specialized Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against other Jonin, they might have been able to hold their own or even escape unscathed, but not against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refocusing, Seimei pulled out several kunai from his ninja pouch and threw them at the Root ninja who had just used ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his body flashed with a green light as he activated **Flash Sword Technique**.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, his speed surged, and within a blink, he was right in front of the retreating Root ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Swish!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slashed with his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the Root ninja had time to react and raised his kunai to block Seimei's attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Clang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their weapons clashed, creating a sharp metallic sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei withdrew his sword, instantly reactivating **Flash Sword Technique**.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sudden \"whoosh,\" he disappeared, reappearing at the ninja's right side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind chakra infused his blade, creating an invisible cutting edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swung his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intense sense of danger made Jiu feel a chill down his neck. The wind from Seimei's blade cut his skin, drawing a few drops of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite this, Jiu remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he made the right decision—not to dodge but to thrust his kunai toward Seimei in a life-for-life exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would force Seimei to defend or retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would Seimei take the trade?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wouldn't let the opponent go easily, either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the kunai was about to strike him, he used **Flash Sword Technique** once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of this technique, mastered to perfection, allowed near-instant repetition, though it consumed chakra heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei could manage it, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Whoosh!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiu's kunai struck nothing but air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart raced, and he searched for Seimei's location, only to feel a cold sensation on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he dove forward and prepared to use a **Substitution Jutsu**.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Seimei's speed exceeded his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slashing sound, Seimei's sword cut into his back, leaving a deep gash.
