Even though the Takigakure Elder had just given a warning, Hayakawa Haruto still reacted half a beat too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Special Jonin specializing in sealing techniques, he lacked proficiency in combat—especially in close-quarters combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Seimei's kunai sliced cleanly across his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Guh… guh…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strong sense of suffocation overwhelmed Hayakawa Haruto as he staggered back several steps, clutching his neck, his eyes filled with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he couldn't accept the fact that he was about to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, as a sealing specialist in a small village like Takigakure, he was considered a prized asset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever he traveled, he was always accompanied by Anbu bodyguards, ensuring his safety was never a concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he saw the 'belated' arrival of the Anbu and the cold, indifferent gaze of Seimei, a deep regret suddenly filled his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he shouldn't have placed his safety entirely in the hands of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If given another chance, he would surely devote more time to training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the shinobi world, whether it was sealing techniques or any other ability, they were ultimately just supplementary skills. Only by becoming strong oneself could one truly be powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the final moment of his life, Hayakawa Haruto finally understood this truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dull sound echoed as Hayakawa Haruto's body collapsed heavily to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it seemed like a long sequence of events, everything had actually happened in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only after Hayakawa Haruto had fallen that the Takigakure Elder snapped back to his senses, his voice roaring, \"Haruto!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!

The moment Seimei made his move, they immediately guessed that his goal was related to the Seven-Tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him approach the beast, they reacted violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost instantly, multiple attacks were launched—kunai thrown, ninjutsu unleashed, and some even forced their way through the Earth Release: Rising Stone Spears to close the distance, aiming to kill him on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, they intended to stall him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing their actions, the corners of Seimei's mouth curled slightly beneath his mask—he had no intention of engaging in direct combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his keen perception and exceptional agility, he flickered through the battlefield, effortlessly dodging their attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but he also managed to get even closer to the Seven-Tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his hand, he was about to cast the Binding Curse Seal to restrain the beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the imminent danger, the Seven-Tails retaliated with a frenzied, indiscriminate attack, targeting both Seimei and the Takigakure shinobi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having already broken free from part of the sealing restraints, the beast had gained more room to move after Seimei forced its captors away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single flap of its wings, it generated powerful gusts of wind that swept through the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More dangerously, it scattered countless toxic scales throughout the cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind itself wasn't a problem—both Seimei and the Takigakure shinobi could stabilize themselves by channeling chakra to their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the scales were a different story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did they obscure vision and disrupt sensory perception, but they were also laced with venom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who inhaled or came into contact with them would immediately experience paralysis, rendering them unable to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the power of a Tailed Beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give them even the slightest opening, and they could wreak havoc on an unimaginable scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder they were regarded as calamities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flurry of thoughts passed through Seimei's mind, but he quickly refocused, stabilizing his stance while activating his Byakugan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, his vision cleared, and his ability to perceive chakra returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing something, Seimei suddenly sidestepped, narrowly evading an attack from the Takigakure Anbu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, these shinobi were well aware of the Seven-Tails' abilities. Though they were affected, they still managed to launch an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, they hadn't anticipated that Seimei would be completely unaffected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right—completely unaffected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His superior physical constitution allowed him to resist the venom. While not immune, he could still move freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, their ambush failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Seimei didn't retaliate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His objective was capturing the Seven-Tails, not waging war against Takigakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need for unnecessary conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, this was the perfect opportunity—he couldn't let it slip away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through his Byakugan, he saw a flicker of panic in the Seven-Tails' compound eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the beast could make another move, he unleashed the Binding Curse Seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, intricate black markings spread across the Seven-Tails' body, rendering it immobile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beast thrashed violently, but beyond draining some of Seimei's chakra, it was powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the surviving Sealing Corps members rushed forward, preparing to activate the sealing array beneath them to trap both Seimei and the Seven-Tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they made their move, Seimei activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he unleashed the dojutsu stored in his left eye—Heaven's Transit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, Seimei and the Seven-Tails vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence fell over the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a few seconds, no one moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, finally, someone muttered, \"How… is this possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That whisper shattered the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaos erupted as shinobi scrambled to search for Seimei and the Seven-Tails, debated his abilities, and sent urgent messages outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the disorder unfold, the Takigakure Elder furrowed his brows and barked, \"Silence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his command, the shinobi quieted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned the room before speaking grimly, \"He couldn't have gotten far.
