After swiftly and decisively dispatching the Mist Ninja Jonin before him, Seimei shifted his gaze to another Mist Ninja Jonin not far away. The target had just plunged a kunai into the body of a shadow clone, causing it to dissipate in a puff of chakra smoke.
Simultaneously, images of the battle between his shadow clone and the Mist Ninja Jonin flashed in Seimei's mind. The brief sequence provided enough insight for him to use as a reference, thanks to the Sharingan's exceptional clarity.
Without hesitation, Seimei turned to the nearby Konoha Special Jonin and said, "Follow me!"
With that, he used his Flash Blade Technique to close the gap with the Mist Ninja Jonin.
Seeing Seimei approach, Daike Ken, the Mist Jonin, didn't hesitate either, stepping forward to engage.
Before long, the two clashed.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of metal on metal echoed across the battlefield. Daike Ken wasn't timid but had clearly learned from Akari Yosuke's earlier defeat. He approached Seimei's attacks with extreme caution, evading when possible and parrying only when necessary, carefully avoiding any attempts at counterattacking. His sole goal was to buy time.
This defensive stance was undoubtedly difficult to penetrate, even for Seimei.
A Jonin is a Jonin, after all.
The previous defeat of Akari Yosuke had required both Seimei and the Konoha Special Jonin to work together, using impeccable coordination. That, combined with Seimei's precise use of his shadow clone to execute a critical opening, had led to the swift victory.
Still, the effort hadn't come cheaply—even costing Seimei a shadow clone. A single Jonin, especially one focused entirely on defense, was no easy foe to bring down without using overwhelming force. However, it wasn't yet time for Seimei to resort to the Mangekyo Sharingan.
He glanced at his ally and thought, I've got help—let's use it.
As if reading Seimei's intentions, the Konoha Special Jonin jumped into the fray. Without hesitation, he moved to take the primary offensive role. Seimei immediately stepped back, giving up his position as the main attacker.
With this shift, Seimei began circling Daike Ken, providing tactical support while searching for weaknesses.
For a member of the Uchiha clan, this was where the Sharingan truly shined. Activating his Three-Tomoe Sharingan to its full potential, Seimei carefully analyzed every movement Daike Ken made. To him, the Mist Ninja's actions unfolded as if in slow motion, revealing subtle patterns and tendencies.
As the Konoha Special Jonin pressed the attack, Seimei started applying additional pressure, his eyes keenly scanning for an opening.
Time ticked by.
At one critical moment, the Special Jonin seized an opportunity to launch an all-out attack, ignoring an incoming kunai in the process. This sudden burst of aggression triggered a visible change in Daike Ken's expression—one that didn't escape Seimei's notice.
In that instant, Seimei thought, There it is—his weakness!
A flash of blue light illuminated the battlefield as Seimei executed his Flash Blade Technique, appearing behind Daike Ken in a blink. At the same time, he infused his blade with Wind-Style chakra, forming a razor-sharp, visible wind edge along the blade.
Feeling the intense threat behind him, Daike Ken instinctively dove to the side, narrowly avoiding the slash. But in doing so, he exposed his flank completely to the Konoha Special Jonin.
The Special Jonin wasted no time. Reversing his grip on his kunai, he thrust it forward.
Slice!
The sound of blade slicing through flesh rang out as blood splattered onto the sea. A fresh wound appeared on Daike Ken's right arm, deep enough to sting sharply but not debilitating.
The Mist Jonin gritted his teeth against the pain. Yet before he could assess the damage, Seimei began forming hand seals. Recognizing the danger, Daike Ken frantically formed his own seals, summoning the Water-Style: Water Formation Wall.
With a splash, a towering wall of water rose between him and Seimei, blocking the incoming attack—or so he thought.
From Seimei's mouth erupted a stream of fire in the shape of a massive dragon. Daike Ken's face lit with relief as he realized he had guessed correctly. The Water Formation Wall was especially effective against fire-style techniques, and this choice would buy him critical time to regroup.
But just as the Mist Jonin began to smile, his expression froze. His eyes widened in shock as he realized that Seimei had not used the standard Fire-Style: Dragon Fire Technique, but rather its enhanced counterpart—the Fire-Style: Great Dragon Flame Technique.
Unlike the standard version, the Great Dragon Flame Technique split into three separate fire dragons, each attacking from a different direction. Daike Ken's Water Formation Wall could only shield the front, leaving his flanks completely exposed.
Two of the fire dragons bypassed the water wall and struck from the sides. Though Daike Ken managed to avoid a direct hit, the resulting explosions engulfed him in searing flames.
When the smoke cleared, Daike Ken stumbled forward, charred and battered but still standing. Seimei, observing the Mist Jonin's disheveled state, nodded in satisfaction.
This marked the first time he had field-tested the Great Dragon Flame Technique, a jutsu he had copied from Uchiha Shisui. Though his execution was not yet flawless, its effectiveness was undeniable.
"Not bad," Seimei mused. "But luck wasn't on his side today."
