Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the kunai and the person who had thrown it, silently thinking, \"As expected!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, he had guessed that the Mist Hidden commander wouldn't let him move freely, even if he had already defeated the two Thunder Britons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It now appeared his prediction was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mist Hidden commander, seeing the unfavorable situation, had immediately sent reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And judging by the reinforcements, this wasn't just anyone—it seemed to be a true jōnin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, their condition didn't look great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the naked eye, several visible injuries could be seen, not to mention the chakra already drained from within their body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that this person had just arrived from another battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This revealed that the Mist Hidden forces were significantly stretched thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, no matter where this jōnin had come from, two true jōnin working together could still pose a significant challenge for Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Mist Hidden commander had also sent several chūnin, sneaking toward the two Thunder Britons, seemingly intent on rescuing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would Seimei let this slide? Absolutely not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he dashed to evade the incoming kunai and, wielding his blade, stepped forward to intercept Takagi Takasuke's counterattack against his shadow clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he exchanged a quick glance with the shadow clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sharing the same origin and inheriting Seimei's memories, the shadow clone understood his intentions immediately, even without verbal communication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, it swiftly withdrew and moved toward the two Thunder Britons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mist Hidden chūnin intended to intervene, but the shadow clone quickly dispatched them in just a few moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, like Seimei's previous shadow clones, this one didn't linger either. It promptly used Wind Release: Wings of Wind and Chakra Cloak to leave the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unlike the earlier clones that had gone out to train with stored chakra, this clone was carrying one of the Thunder Britons, intending to extract the information Seimei sought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching them leave, Seimei finally felt relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without holding back any longer, he engaged in a two-on-one battle, suppressing Takagi Takasuke and the other Mist Hidden jōnin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About fifteen minutes later, a message arrived from the command center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Nara Keikou, the Mist Hidden forces attacking the camp had already been repelled, and the camp's troops were now pursuing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keikou instructed that if they could break through the Mist Hidden defensive line, they must do so within fifteen minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they were to retreat immediately and block the Mist Hidden troops from retreating further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifteen minutes, huh,\" Seimei murmured, glancing at the battlefield nearby during a brief lull in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shortening of the Mist Hidden's third defensive line allowed their three squads to collaborate better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it also made it easier for the Mist ninjas within the defensive line to assist one another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, even after half an hour, the line had yet to be breached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, it had almost been enough, but now things were uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could receive messages from the camp, the Mist ninjas within the defensive line could certainly receive news of their own forces' defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, the Mist Hidden forces would likely hold their ground stubbornly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if Seimei's forces returned, they would form a pincer attack with the camp's pursuing troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, the retreating Mist ninjas would suffer devastating losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, from any perspective, the Mist Hidden commander would persist for as long as possible to buy more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, if they chose to retreat voluntarily, their enemies might even pursue them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this sense, both sides had fallen into a stalemate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei didn't want to see this drag on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This war had already lasted long enough, and Seimei didn't want to waste any more time here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the decisive opportunity he couldn't afford to miss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the so-called stalemate was merely the result of the Mist ninjas' forced perseverance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point in the war, the Mist Hidden forces had fallen behind in both high-end and low-end combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All they needed was a final push, to break the stalemate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Seimei intended to be the one to deliver that blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before that, he needed to deal with the two opponents in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wouldn't be a difficult task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The past ten minutes of battle had allowed him to gain significant advantages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was time to turn that advantage into victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Seimei unleashed all his chakra, forcing Takagi Kosuke and another Kirigakure Jonin to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, he sheathed his sword and formed hand seals, quickly executing a ninjutsu: Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stream of flames burst from his mouth, transforming into three fire dragons. One lunged at Takagi Kosuke, while the other two targeted the more severely injured Kirigakure Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the two opponents dared not act carelessly. They quickly cast defensive ninjutsu to block the fire dragons' assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the opportunity, Seimei used another ninjutsu: Water Style: Water Severing Wave. The horizontal slash of water completely separated the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, he drew his sword and used Blink Sword Technique, moving at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, appearing right before the other Kirigakure Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Seimei unleashed Phantom Sword Technique and Shadow Sword Technique simultaneously, creating six sword shadows—three real and three illusory—attacking from different angles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the opponent been at full strength, he might have been able to defend against such an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after several intense battles, his injuries had significantly slowed his reactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he dared not engage directly and could only retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, retreating was exactly what Seimei had been waiting for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a burst of chakra, Seimei stamped his foot and launched himself like a cannonball, closing the gap instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While slashing at the opponent with his sword, he extended his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently, a high-density chakra sphere appeared in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kirigakure Jonin, having just blocked the sword attack, sensed imminent danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried to evade, but it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack, crack, crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of crisp bone-cracking sounds echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei slammed the Rasengan into the opponent's chest, sending him flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when he was Level 8, facing a true Jonin, he might not have been able to seize such an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, having reached the pinnacle of Level 9 (0\u002F0), he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spurt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large mouthful of blood sprayed from the Kirigakure Jonin's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body hit the ground hard, and combined with his previous injuries, he was unable to stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this time, Takagi Kosuke had just arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Seimei engaged him in combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang, clang, clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of blades clashing filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Takagi Kosuke managed to keep up with Seimei's speed through sheer willpower. But after just one or two minutes, he fell entirely on the defensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the support of his teammate, he was no match for Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, during their previous skirmishes, Seimei had used his Sharingan to gather significant intel on their fighting styles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, it didn't take long for Seimei to plunge his blade into Takagi Kosuke's abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spurt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another mouthful of blood erupted from Takagi Kosuke's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could react, Seimei swung his left hand.
