Seisuke got lost!
Yes, as a ninja, he actually got lost!
Is there any justice in this?
It must be because of Mei Terumī behind him. This woman kept chasing him relentlessly, making him run around in a panic like a headless fly. Now, he couldn't find his way back and didn't even know where he was.
"My luck is really something. And why are you still chasing me?"
He turned his head to look at Mei Terumī, who was still behind him. This girl really had great perseverance, chasing him all the way until now.
"You're my mission!"
"Do you value your mission so much?" He stopped and squatted on a tree, asking.
Mei Terumī also stopped, keeping a safe distance, and said, "In Kirigakure, missions come first. If I can't complete the mission, I'll be punished when I go back!"
Kirigakure maintained a high - pressure rule and was basically isolated from the world. The village had a bloody system. If one couldn't complete a mission, it was easy to be punished, even if she was a precious Kekkei Genkai ninja.
However, she wouldn't lose her life. Kirigakure joined this war hoping to gain some benefits, but so far, they hadn't gotten much from the battles with Konoha. Yesterday, six out of the seven members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, their most important high - end combat power, were killed! Six!
Only the cold - blooded Jinpachi Mujina was left!
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were the top - tier combat power of Kirigakure. It was very difficult to find a suitable owner for each of those ninja swords. Now, it would be impossible to gather the Seven Ninja Swordsmen in a short time.
A precious Kekkei Genkai ninja like Mei Terumī wouldn't be allowed to die, but there would definitely be punishments.
Mei Terumī didn't want that, so she wanted to complete the mission assigned to her.
She really wanted to beat Seisuke Asakawa up.
Of course, there was also a sense of competitiveness. Seisuke was about the same age as her, but the combat power he showed was terrifying. Several members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had died at his hands. She wanted to see how big the gap was between them while ensuring their survival.
"That's really tough!"
Seisuke grinned, making Mei Terumī want to beat him even more.
"Hmph! You're not getting away today! Water Release: Water Turbulence!"
She spat out a stream of water from her mouth. Seisuke quickly dodged and said, "It would be a pity to kill you. But it seems you won't let me go unless I knock you down!"
"Naturally."
"Hmph! The law of victory has already been determined! Here I come! I'm making my move!"
Taking on a rather strange pose, Seisuke jumped down. Flames blazed on his palms. With a wave of his arms, two long spears flew out immediately.
"Sacred Fire: Shiranui!"
"Water Release: Water Barrier Wall!"
The attacks of both sides cancelled each other out. Seisuke raised his hand, and flames burned around him, then rolled into a vortex. The air suddenly became hot. Mei Terumī was shocked. Such an attack could be completed in an instant. Not only did it not require hand - seals, but the opponent's chakra amount was also terrifying.
"Ember Burst!"
"Water Release: Water Turbulence!"
Finding that their jutsu couldn't do much to each other, the two decided to charge at each other without hesitation.
Their kunais clashed, and sparks flew. Engaging in taijutsu combat, Seisuke believed he would never lose!
Mei Terumī's taijutsu was strong, stronger than the girls of Seisuke's generation.
Her movements were clean, neat, and not at all sluggish. They were also very cool, making it hard to tell that she was a girl.
As they fought, they moved the battlefield.
"Lava Release: Melting Explosive Acid!"
Mei Terumī suddenly jumped up and spat out a large amount of strong acid mucus from her mouth. Seeing this, Seisuke had to dodge.
The strong acid mucus landed on the grass, immediately dissolving a big hole in it. But the strong acid mucus didn't disappear. Instead, it gushed out like a spring. Mei Terumī stood in the middle unharmed, but when the strong acid was splashed into the air, it formed a corrosive acid rain that fell down.
Hiss!
Trees, stones, and the ground immediately became pockmarked. The leaves withered and lost their vitality.
Seisuke covered his arm. It had just been corroded by the acid. If he hadn't run fast, his hand would have been gone. Fortunately, only the skin surface was corroded.
Flames formed a protective shield around his body, blocking the falling acid rain.
He took out bandages and anti - inflammatory medicine from his ninja tool bag and roughly applied the medicine.
"Ugh~"
This feeling was really intense!
Gritting his teeth against the pain, he hastily bandaged the wound with the bandage. The commotion outside had subsided a lot. He removed the flame shield and saw Mei Terumī breathing a little heavily. It seemed that the move had consumed a lot of her chakra.
Maintaining the flame shield had also wasted a lot of his chakra. Looking at her, Seisuke was calculating in his mind, trying to find a way to get rid of Mei Terumī's pursuit.
"You're doomed!"
Gasping for breath, Mei Terumī said.
"That's not certain. Watch me beat this level with one life!" Seisuke said with a smile. "I advise you to run quickly. Otherwise, you'll end up in a terrible state."
Looking at the fire on his body, Mei Terumī felt a sinking feeling in her heart. She still remembered that Zabuza Momochi had died from this move. She quickly formed hand - seals and shouted, "Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave!"
A huge water column shot up from the ground beneath her feet, instantly flooding the surroundings. Seisuke immediately extinguished the flames and let the water carry him away, laughing heartily. "This is my escape route!"
"That bastard!"
Mei Terumī gritted her teeth and chased after him in a hurry!
She wouldn't let him go! Absolutely not!
......
Ding, ding, ding!
Two figures shuttled back and forth in the forest, using deadly moves on each other.
Seisuke's clothes were tattered, and he had several wounds on his body. Mei Terumī on the opposite side wasn't in a good condition either. A lot of her hair had been burned, and there were several holes in her clothes, revealing her wounds.
The two had been fighting for a whole day and two nights. Mei Terumī was much more cautious than the reckless members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. She mostly used long - range attacks and rarely engaged in close - combat with Seisuke. Even when in close - combat, she wouldn't get entangled for too long and would continue to use long - range attacks to keep him at bay, leaving Seisuke in a difficult situation.
Without anyone to cooperate with, Seisuke couldn't fully unleash his destructive power. Both of their chakra was almost depleted.
As for the main forces of Kirigakure and Konoha, they had started fighting again. No one came to their aid, and they had gone deep into the Land of Waves and completely lost their way.
However, this wasn't the time to worry about that. All they wanted was to subdue the other.
They were fighting on a cliff, with the sea below. Before they knew it, they had reached the border of the Land of Waves.
Mei Terumī looked at Seisuke in a sorry state, gasping for breath, and said, "S - stop running! There's the sea below! Seisuke Asakawa, you have no way out."
Seisuke sneered. "It's not certain who will win or lose. Why couldn't it be you who falls into the sea?!"
He couldn't use the Summoning Jutsu with his current chakra, and it was also very difficult for him to elementalize. But he couldn't lose face, so he definitely wouldn't admit defeat verbally.
