"Ah~~~"
A painful wail echoed from below.
Seimei paid no attention to the Mist ninjas struggling in the flames. After performing his ninjutsu, he flew away from the spot.
Soon, he found another place where Mist ninjas were gathered.
Next, he was about to form hand seals and perform ninjutsu to deal with them.
However, at this moment, a water dragon suddenly rose from the ground and attacked him.
"Water Dragon Bullet Technique?"
Seimei recognized the technique at a glance.
Immediately, his gaze followed the direction the water dragon came from.
Then, he saw a familiar figure, wearing a blue dress and long reddish-brown hair. It was none other than Mei Terumi.
Withdrawing his gaze, Seimei gently flapped the chakra wings on his back, moving away from his original spot. The water dragon flew past him, failing to injure him in the slightest.
After evading the attack, Seimei didn't hesitate. He immediately raised his hands, completing hand seals in an instant, and performed the ninjutsu - Wind Release: Wind Blade!
He had already mastered this technique to perfection, and its power far surpassed its previous state.
Almost instantly, he condensed a wind blade over ten meters long, which then sliced directly towards Mei Terumi below.
A chill ran down her spine. Mei Terumi dodged to the side without thinking.
However, while she managed to dodge, several Mist ninjas beside her were not so lucky.
One of them was directly cut in half by the wind blade, and it was clear he wouldn't make it. The other two also lost arms and legs, their situation dire.
Painful cries escaped their lips.
Seimei paid them no heed, raising his hands again to form seals for another ninjutsu.
However, at this moment, a light rain blew over.
The rain itself had no effect on him, but as soon as it touched the wings on his back, it began to dissipate the chakra within them.
This caused Seimei's figure to become unsteady.
In just an instant, Seimei realized that there was something wrong with the rain.
Immediately, his Sharingan scanned downwards, quickly discovering the caster.
Clad in a black robe and wearing a mask, it was clearly a Mist Anbu.
"Mist Anbu?"
Seimei's heart stirred, and he suddenly recalled a corresponding ninjutsu from his past life memories - Water Release: Slicing Rain!
This was a secret technique of the Hidden Mist Village, capable of weakening all ninjutsu and chakra techniques except for Water Release ninjutsu.
Clearly, his 'Wind Release: Wind Wings' fell into this category.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Seimei swiftly changed his hand seals, performing the ninjutsu - Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
In the next moment, he condensed a water dragon that lunged directly towards his opponent.
Originally, after reaching Lv6, the water dragon he conjured with the 'Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique' was already quite large, giving off an intense sense of pressure.
Now, with the water dragon descending from the sky, the pressure was even more overwhelming.
However, facing this imposing force, the Mist Anbu didn't retreat in the slightest, continuing to maintain the 'Water Release: Slicing Rain' technique, persistently weakening the chakra wings on Seimei's back.
Was he seeking death?
Of course not.
Just as his water dragon was about to land, another water dragon, no smaller than his own, surged from the ground, colliding with the one he had conjured.
Boom~
A muffled sound echoed.
The two water dragons clashed, transforming into a shower of water droplets.
Seimei's attack was blocked.
Needless to say, the one who intervened was Mei Terumi.
She was panting heavily, clearly having pushed herself to the limit just now.
Seeing this, Seimei immediately took out several shuriken from his ninja tool pouch and threw them, aiming at both Mei Terumi and the Mist Anbu.
However, before these shuriken could get close to the two, over ten kunai shot from the side, precisely intercepting all the shuriken.
Not only that, but a few kunai also flew towards him.
Seimei's wings flapped slightly, evading the attack.
His Sharingan activated, and Seimei looked in the direction the kunai came from. He saw three Mist Anbu and several Mist Jonin rushing over.
Clearly, after this period of entanglement, they had finally reacted.
Now, even if Seimei wanted to leave, it probably wouldn't be easy.
However, Seimei wasn't particularly anxious.
After all, his goal was to delay the Mist's attack. Being able to attract so many Mist ninjas here was also a form of success.
He glanced back at the stronghold, confirming that the Mist Village's advance was no longer as swift as it was initially, and then withdrew his gaze.
At this moment, another wave of light rain blew over.
Below, among the three Mist Anbu, another one performed the 'Water Release: Slicing Rain' technique.
Feeling the chakra wings on his back dissipating at an even faster rate, Seimei didn't hesitate and immediately flew higher into the sky.
Next, he completed hand seals, took a deep breath, and then exhaled forcefully, performing the ninjutsu - Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!
Indeed, 'Water Release: Slicing Rain' could weaken all ninjutsu except for Water Release techniques.
However, it also had its limits.
When Seimei expended two thousand chakra points at once to perform 'Wind Release: Great Breakthrough,' that light rain couldn't affect his ninjutsu at all.
Not only that, but the gale he blew out even dispersed the light rain in the sky.
Seeing this, Mei Terumi immediately shouted, "Everyone, attack together!"
In an instant, kunai, shuriken, explosive tags, ninjutsu, all sorts of attacks were thrown towards Seimei.
Seimei's 'Wind Release: Wind Wings' were only at Lv2. Although his flying speed had increased significantly, their flexibility was still somewhat lacking.
Even with his Sharingan, allowing him to see the trajectories of these attacks clearly, he still couldn't dodge them all.
Helplessly, he could only continue flying higher.
However, once he reached a high altitude, the Mist ninjas couldn't hit him, but similarly, he couldn't attack them either.
After all, the ninjutsu he knew had attack range limitations and couldn't achieve long-range casting.
For a time, both sides were at a standstill.
A silent confrontation ensued.
A moment later, Seimei was the first to break the silence.
He had no choice. The Mist Village had deployed too many people this time.
Seeing that she couldn't do anything to him for the time being, Mei Terumi simply let the Chunin and Genin participate in the frontline attack, leaving only a few Jonin to confront him here.
If this continued, the stronghold would eventually be breached.
Therefore, he had to make the first move.
However, he didn't engage in a direct confrontation with Mei Terumi and the others.
Although with his strength, he didn't need to fear these people, since he had developed the 'Wind Release: Wind Wings' flying ninjutsu, he should make good use of it.
So, he directly flew past them, heading towards the Mist ninjas ahead.
Seeing this, Mei Terumi and the others' expressions turned unsightly.
It was often said that in the ninja world, having the ability to fly provided a tremendous advantage in battle.
Just like Seimei now, whether or not to fight was entirely up to him. If the opponent didn't have any countermeasures, they could only follow behind him helplessly.
