Standing on a tree branch, Seimei looked at the charred corpse of the captain in the distance, and then at Kurosuki Raiga, who was rapidly approaching him. He felt a headache coming on.
He had just defeated Juzo Biwa and hadn't even finished cleaning up when another one came. Did they really think he was invincible?
'Oh, right, I seem to actually have an 'invincible' state, so there's nothing to worry about!'
Feeling the persistent sense of being watched, Seimei's face twitched.
Finally, he made up his mind, formed hand seals, and released the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.
Immediately, the last shadow clone that was entangled with the Mist ninja nearby disappeared.
Consequently, the chakra in his body recovered a bit.
This action, combined with what he was doing just now, made it seem to outsiders that he desperately needed chakra.
And this was exactly the message Seimei wanted to convey.
Seimei took one last look at Kurosuki Raiga and Juzo Biwa, then flashed and fled straight into the depths of the dense forest.
That's right, he ran away!
Seeing this, both Kurosuki Raiga and Juzo Biwa were stunned, their footsteps involuntarily pausing.
But soon, they reacted and chased after him together.
In the forest.
Feeling the figures chasing behind him, Seimei breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly accelerated, pretending to be eager to shake off the pursuit.
Kurosuki Raiga and Juzo Biwa naturally couldn't let him escape, so they also sped up, closely following behind him.
At the same time, in the shadows, some unnoticed corners, some insects also flew out, chasing after Seimei and the others.
...
Time passed by.
Seimei ran for five or six kilometers in one breath before stopping.
He stood on a tree branch, carefully sensing his surroundings.
After a while, he opened his eyes and muttered, "Sure enough, it's gone."
In the past few days, although he hadn't been able to pinpoint the enemy spying on him in the dark, he had roughly guessed their spying method through some clues.
To avoid the Byakugan's detection, the enemy must not be hiding within one kilometer.
And at such a long distance, to spy, unless they had Hiruzen Sarutobi's 'Telescope Technique', they were most likely using some kind of medium.
And as long as it was a medium, it definitely had a range limit. He had run five or six kilometers in one go, which was equivalent to directly leaving the original environment.
Thus, he naturally got rid of the surveillance.
Then, he could act freely.
With a thought, Seimei crossed his hands, formed the 'Ram' seal, and cast the 'Shadow Clone Technique'.
Bang~
A cloud of chakra smoke dispersed.
A figure appeared beside Seimei.
Seimei nodded at him, and the clone continued to run forward in his original direction.
Seimei himself, on the other hand, completely restrained his aura and hid to the side.
At this moment, he was like a seasoned hunter, quietly waiting for his prey to take the bait.
Time trickled by.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten seconds passed.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came.
Seimei looked towards the sound and saw two figures rapidly approaching. Who else could it be but Kurosuki Raiga and Juzo Biwa?
Seimei pushed his Sharingan to the limit and scanned the surroundings again. After confirming there were no other abnormalities, he was completely relieved.
And at this moment, the two arrived nearby.
Seimei didn't hesitate and decisively attacked.
Almost at the same instant he made his move, Juzo Biwa shouted, "Who?"
As he spoke, he swung the 'Kubikiribocho' in his hand, slashing horizontally in the direction of Seimei's attack.
At this time, if Seimei continued to approach, he would inevitably be cut in two, but if he retreated, this sneak attack would be in vain.
It had to be said that Juzo Biwa's ability was truly strong to have reached such a position with just a 'Kubikiribocho'.
This kind of combat experience and reaction speed was far superior to Kurosuki Raiga's.
Unfortunately, all of this was useless.
Originally, Juzo Biwa was already thinking about whether to pursue the attack or defend first after Seimei dodged.
However, the next moment, something unbelievable happened.
Seimei didn't choose to retreat, and just 'crashed' straight into his sword.
The blade sliced through Seimei's waist and abdomen, instantly cutting him in two.
'Wait!'
Suddenly, Juzo Biwa sensed something was wrong.
"This feeling... I missed!"
Juzo Biwa's eyes widened.
In his vision, Seimei, who had already been separated into upper and lower halves, suddenly turned into bubbles and disappeared.
Obviously, this was just an afterimage.
"Then where is he?"
Juzo Biwa's brain raced, and his eyes darted around, scanning the surroundings.
But before he could discover anything, a deep chill crept into his heart.
Instinctively, he lunged forward.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
*Slash~*
The sound of a blade cutting through flesh rang out.
Seimei's sword directly severed his carotid artery, and a large amount of blood gushed out, instantly staining a large area nearby red.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
At this time, Kurosuki Raiga had just locked onto Seimei's position and launched an attack.
*Crackle~*
Blinding lightning flashed, and two arm-thick lightning bolts shot out from the twin swords in his hands, directly striking Seimei's body.
Unfortunately, just like Juzo Biwa's 'Kubikiribocho' earlier, his attack showed no signs of hitting anything solid.
The next moment, the sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out.
Kurosuki Raiga looked down at the sword tip protruding from his chest and murmured, "How is this possible?"
From the corner of his eye, he glanced back and saw Seimei standing steadily behind him, a trail of blood and tears sliding down from under his left eye.
However, it wasn't the blood and tears that caught his attention, but Seimei's eyes.
Looking at the Sharingan, which resembled a black sun, Kurosuki Raiga was filled with confusion: "What... is this?"
Clearly, he didn't recognize the Mangekyo Sharingan.
However, this didn't stop him from making one last attempt.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Burial~"
In his final moments, Kurosuki Raiga poured all his chakra into the twin swords in his hands, unleashing a suicidal technique.
*Boom~*
A violent sound erupted.
Immediately afterward, a blinding flash of lightning dispelled the darkness, illuminating the nearby forest.
Terrifying lightning erupted from the 'Kiba' swords, instantly engulfing Kurosuki Raiga and rapidly spreading outward.
In the end, this terrifying lightning turned an area with a radius of one hundred meters into scorched earth, destroying everything on it.
A hundred meters away, Seimei's figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.
He covered his left eye in slight pain, looking at the scorched earth ahead with only his right eye. His expression wasn't very pleasant.
The opponent's final attack was indeed terrifying.
Only he could use 'Amenotejikara' to enter a brief 'invincible' state, otherwise, he might have been seriously injured.
However, on the other hand, if it weren't for 'Amenotejikara' as a foundation, he wouldn't have been able to adopt such an aggressive combat strategy.
