"Seimei, it's getting late, shouldn't we go back?"
Just as Seimei was thinking about his next physical transformation and how much his Chakra recovery speed could be increased after the 'Physique' attribute was improved, Uchiha Tetsuka's voice suddenly came.
Seimei was startled awake, looked up, and saw that the setting sun in the sky was about to fall below the sea level, so he stopped thinking about it, stood up, and said, "Let's go!"
As he spoke, he closed the proficiency panel.
"Um."
Uchiha Tetsuka also responded.
Then, the two stepped on the sea water and ran towards the forward base together.
On the way, Uchiha Tetsuka was still talking about the sparring just now, asking him for advice on related skills.
Not to mention anything else, this attitude alone made Seimei willing to give him guidance.
Of course, this is also a win-win situation.
If he wants to quickly accumulate the proficiency of 'Illusion Sword Technique' and 'Flash Sword Technique' and improve their levels, apart from fighting with the Ninja of the Mist, he needs to practice constantly.
And practicing alone, how can the accumulated proficiency be as fast as sparring with others?
Although Uchiha Tetsuka's strength is average, with the existence of Sharingan, he can barely act as his opponent.
Because of this, Seimei would tirelessly guide his cultivation.
Otherwise, even if the other party's surname is Uchiha, he would not waste this time.
"Seimei, in the third battle just now, you stabbed from the side. I clearly saw through Sharingan that it was just a feint, why did it become real later?"
"That's because."
"."
In the sea breeze.
The voices of the two talking came intermittently.
In this question and answer, the two returned to the forward base.
After saying goodbye to each other, Seimei returned to his residence - that simple small courtyard!
As soon as he entered the door, Seimei routinely opened his Sharingan and scanned the layout of the courtyard and the house. After confirming that no one had broken in, he was completely relieved.
It's not that he's sensitive, but that he's careful to sail for ten thousand years.
Now, his fame is growing.
On the black market, the bounty on him has risen to 32 million ryo, only 3 million ryoless than Asuma's later.
I don't know if the black market discovered that the Kusanagi sword of the leader of Takumi Ninja Village fell into his hands, and understood that he was the one who intercepted it, so he increased the bounty himself, or the order from Kirigakure Village.
In short, his bounty is very high now, and there are many people who want his life, so he must be careful.
Back to the house.
After Seimei washed up a little and filled his stomach with some food, he began to seize the time to perform the 'Palm Immortal Technique' to strengthen his body.
Of course he would practice this technique during the day.
But it takes time for the 'Palm Immortal Technique' to strengthen the body. The plan of 240 times a day cannot be completed during the day at all.
Therefore, he has to work overtime at night.
In addition, the number of times that the 'Yingxin Technique' was not completed during the day also needs to be done at night.
So, every night, he almost has to practice until very late.
Today is no exception.
Time passed by every minute and every second.
Soon, it was midnight.
After performing the last 'Yingxin(?) Technique', Seimei let out a long sigh of relief, then fell asleep without thinking.
However, just as he was sleeping soundly, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.
Dong dong dong~
In an instant, Seimei opened his eyes. Although there was still a bit of tiredness between his brows, the divine light in his eyes was shining brightly.
Seimei glanced out the window, it was still a starry sky.
Obviously, not much time had passed since he fell asleep.
Dong dong dong~
The knock on the door sounded again, the rhythm a little more urgent than before.
Just from the knock on the door, Seimei could tell that the person outside the door must be very anxious.
This thought flashed through his mind, Seimei didn't think any more, reached out to grab the clothes next to him, put them on quickly, then picked up the Kusanagi sword on the table, and came to the courtyard.
Finally, before the courtyard door was knocked for the third time, he opened the courtyard door.
Squeak~
The sound of wood rubbing sounded.
Seimei opened the courtyard door and looked outside, and saw a Konoha ninja standing outside the door, with a hint of anxiety on his face.
His eyes swept across the other person's face, and Seimei recognized his identity. He was a messenger Chunin beside the Uchiha Jonin in charge of the base.
"Jonin Seimei!"
Seeing Seimei coming out, this Konoha Chunin immediately greeted him.
"Um."
Seimei nodded, without any nonsense, and asked directly: "Is there something wrong with coming to me so late?"
This Konoha Chunin was not surprised that Seimei guessed that something had happened.
After all, he came here so late, he couldn't be idle, right? Apart from emergencies, there is no other possibility.
He calmed down a bit, then replied quickly: "That's right, not long ago, the border command post sent news that Kirigakure launched an attack on the northern defense line an hour ago, and the battle was quite fierce."
"Northern defense line again?"
Seimei murmured after hearing this.
If he remembered correctly, a month ago, the Kirigakure troops that ambushed them broke through from the northern defense line.
That time it was basically certain that Danzo ordered his subordinates lurking in the northern defense line to cooperate.
So what about this time?
Is it another conspiracy of Danzo? Or was the hidden danger left by deliberately cooperating last time exploited by Kirigakure Village?
For a while, Seimei couldn't figure out the tricks.
But one thing needs to be clarified, and that is why the other party dared to do this.
You know, the purpose of Konoha setting up their forward base is to prevent Kirigakure from pushing the flames of war into the territory of the Land of Fire.
As long as this forward base does not fall, no matter which of the three defense lines on the border of the Land of Fire Kirigakure attacks, they will eventually face a rear attack from them.
Seimei didn't believe that Kirigakure couldn't see this, but they did it anyway, and it seemed that it wasn't a small fight.
Coupled with the fact that they haven't discovered any small movements from Kirigakure during patrols in the past period of time, the other party must have detoured a long way.
In this way, the two superimposed, and the other party obviously came prepared.
This made Seimei even more confused.
"Jonin Seimei?"
Just as Seimei was lost in thought, the Konoha Chunin in front of him called out.
"Oh."
Seimei came back to his senses and said, "Go on."
However, upon hearing this, the Konoha Chunin just shook his head and said, "That's all I know. The captain asked me to call you to a meeting. If you have any questions, you can ask the captain."
"Is that so"
Seimei nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!"
As he spoke, he locked the courtyard door, and then hurried to the meeting room together with the other party.
At the same time, there were quite a few Jonin who were suddenly woken up like Seimei. After they roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter, they immediately rushed to the meeting room.
In this way, when Seimei arrived, many people had already gathered here.
