Grind is My Ninja Way

*Tzing* 

Seimei pulled out his short sword, letting Gari's body fall to the ground. The green light surrounding him also dissipated.

This green light was nothing other than wind-style chakra.

He had mastered this technique of covering his entire body with wind-style chakra after developing the "Instant Sword Technique."

At that time, it was to merge himself with the short sword and use the power of wind release to achieve ultra-high-speed short-distance movement.

But now, the short sword in his hand was of average quality. It was not forged with expensive chakra-conducting metal, so it couldn't effectively transmit chakra.

Therefore, he couldn't use the "Instant Sword Technique."

The reason he had just covered his entire body with wind-style chakra was simply to resist the high temperature around him.

Gari thought he couldn't cross the sea of fire to get close, but he did the opposite. With the protection of wind release, he forcibly broke through the flames.

This caught Gari off guard.

After getting close, he directly used "Genjutsu: Sharingan" to pull the opponent's consciousness into an illusion, and finally successfully killed him.

It could be said that Gari died because of his own habitual thinking.

However, Seimei was not unscathed.

The wind release covering his entire body could indeed block the flames to a certain extent, but the high-temperature air around him still burned his skin.

It could be seen that his skin was now extensively red and swollen. Some more severe areas even had blisters like burns.

In addition, his lungs and trachea were also a bit sore because he had inhaled some high-temperature air.

Fortunately, these were not major problems. The "Mystical Palm Technique," which had just been upgraded to lv7, could completely heal them.

After briefly feeling the injuries on his body, Seimei formed hand seals and quickly used the medical ninjutsu - Mystical Palm Technique!

The next moment, a rich yang-style chakra covered his entire body, beginning to heal according to the severity of the injuries.

Soon, his red and swollen skin began to improve, the blisters quickly disappeared, and his burning lungs and trachea felt like they were immersed in cold water, incredibly comfortable.

At this moment, he was like Tsunade who had activated "Creation Rebirth" or Senju Hashirama who had "Yin Seal: Release," with amazing recovery ability.

Of course, the actual effect was definitely not as exaggerated as theirs.

However, Seimei estimated that as his "Mystical Palm Technique" and "Constitution" attribute continued to improve, reaching their level was only a matter of time.

By then, his self-preservation ability would be greatly enhanced.

With this thought in mind, time passed quickly. Seimei spent about half a minute to initially heal his injuries.

At this time, some Iwa ninjas finally approached.

Previously, there were explosions and flames here, forcing everyone far away.

Now that it was quiet, naturally someone would come to investigate.

Looking at the three Iwa-nin Chunin who were carefully approaching, Seimei didn't show any mercy. With a "Body Flicker Technique," he directly appeared in front of the three.

Before they could make a sound, he used a hypnosis technique to control one of them.

Then, he raised his left hand to attract another person's attention and took the opportunity to use "Genjutsu: Sharingan," successfully controlling another person.

As for the third person...

*Puchi*

The sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out.

The Iwa-nin Chunin looked down and saw a short sword piercing his abdomen.

His strength quickly drained away. He grabbed the short sword, wanting to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Seimei frowned slightly and slid back gently, pulling out the short sword while avoiding the splatter of blood.

Then, with two more "swishes," he precisely cut the throats of the other two Iwa ninjas who were under the genjutsu.

Everything happened in a flash. Before others could react, he had already dealt with the three Iwa ninjas who came to investigate.

His gaze swept forward. Hyuga and the others were still in fierce battle. The Iwa ninjas besieging them were quite numerous, and the terrain was narrow, making it difficult to maneuver. Their situation was not good.

Also, the Nara clan Jonin and the Yamanaka clan Jonin were also being besieged, and their situation was equally bad.

However, Namikaze Minato seemed to be chasing Kurogi Itto and several Iwa-nin Jonin bodyguards, leaving this corridor.

There was no need to worry about that side. With his strength, completing the beheading shouldn't be a problem. The main concern was the battle here.

He wouldn't talk about those Chunin and Genin, but there were a few Jonin who must be dealt with. They were also the decision-makers of the Iwa ninja side in this battle.

The so-called beheading operation was not just to kill Kurogi Itto. Although he was the leader and the most important, others couldn't be ignored.

To completely disrupt the Iwa ninja's command system, it was necessary to eliminate a group of decision-making ninjas.

Only in this way could the Iwa ninjas fall into chaos in a short period; otherwise, at most, they would just change their commander.

With this thought, Seimei didn't waste any more time. He used the "Body Flicker Technique" and passed through the crowd at an extremely fast speed, arriving at the Nara clan Jonin and Yamanaka clan Jonin's battle circle.

They were currently dealing with more than twenty Iwa ninjas, led by several decision-making Jonin.

"What?"

Seimei's sudden appearance startled several Iwa-nin Jonin. Looking further away, they saw Gari's corpse lying on the ground.

This made them even more wary of Seimei.

However, after Seimei appeared, he didn't attack them first but instead targeted the Chunin and Genin.

Although these people didn't pose much of a threat to him, too many flies were still annoying!

Seimei didn't want to have to guard against them while fighting those Iwa-nin Jonin later, so he could only eliminate them in advance.

Seimei's figure flashed, and he charged into the crowd with his sword, launching an attack on those Chunin and Genin.

Seeing this, the Nara clan Jonin and the Yamanaka clan Jonin immediately understood his intention and immediately launched a counterattack against several Iwa-nin Jonin.

Most of these Iwa-nin Jonin were Tokubetsu Jonin. Facing the Nara clan's Shadow Imitation Technique and the Yamanaka clan's Mind Transfer Technique, they didn't have any good countermeasures.

Therefore, they couldn't stop Seimei's massacre of their subordinates.

Yes, it was a massacre.

Facing the siege of nearly twenty people, Seimei, with the help of the Sharingan's powerful insight, performed with ease.

The short sword in his hand was like the Grim Reaper's scythe. Whoever it swung towards would obediently wait for death without any resistance.

This scene terrified those Iwa-nin Chunin and Genin. They tried their best to dodge and counterattack, but in the end, they couldn't escape death.

This was the situation of using "Illusion Sword Technique" against Chunin and Genin. They could avoid looking into his eyes, but they couldn't avoid looking at the stabbing short sword.

As long as they noticed it, Seimei would project the power of "Genjutsu: Sharingan" onto it and then use sword techniques to release it.

In this way, they would fall under the genjutsu and obediently wait for death.
