"Danzo is increasingly likely to be the mastermind behind this..."
After analyzing in his mind, Seimei felt that the person spying in the dark was increasingly likely to be one of Danzo's subordinates.
Because besides him, no one else would deliberately target him and Uchiha Shisui.
And if the target was Jonin, there were two other Jonin in the team just like them, and there was no reason for them to be ignored.
However, those two hadn't noticed anything.
Excluding the possibility of them lying, the enemy's target was very obvious.
Hearing Seimei's words, Uchiha Shisui's expression also turned quite ugly. He didn't understand why, before the war was even over, they had to fight amongst themselves first.
If Seimei knew his thoughts, he would definitely scoff. In both his past and present lives, were there few people who betrayed their own people and country for their own selfish desires?
Shisui was still too young.
The two fell silent for a while. Seimei thought for a moment and said to Uchiha Shisui meaningfully, "Be careful tonight."
Uchiha Shisui was taken aback at first, but then he quickly understood and nodded seriously.
After Shisui left, Seimei shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and turned back to his previous training.
Time passed by second by second.
Seimei was cultivating when suddenly a sharp whistle sounded. Discover more novels at novel⚑fire.net
Instantly, the entire temporary camp became chaotic, and everyone was awakened by the sudden alarm.
Seimei abruptly stood up, grabbed the short sword beside him, leaped down from the tree, and ran straight towards the direction of the whistle.
Soon, he encountered two people running towards him.
One of them was quite familiar to Seimei, it was Hyuga, the Tokubetsu Jonin from the Hyuga clan.
According to the schedule, she should be on guard outside the camp at this time.
Seimei's mind stirred, and he looked at her hand, seeing that she was holding a whistle. Obviously, it was her who had just sounded the alarm.
Seimei appeared in front of her in a flash and said, "What's the situation?"
Hyuga was highly tense, and Seimei's sudden appearance startled her.
But soon, she regained her composure and quickly said, "There are enemies approaching."
"How many? What's their strength?"
Seimei asked concisely.
"About five teams, no Genin, all captains are Jonin level."
"No Genin... all captains are Jonin..."
Seimei pondered for a moment and thought, "This is an elite force!"
Just as he was about to ask further questions, an alarm whistle also sounded from another direction.
Seimei and Hyuga exchanged glances, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.
Enemies from two directions...
Obviously, they were most likely surrounded.
If his guess was correct, the other two directions should soon sound alarms as well.
Almost as soon as Seimei thought this, two more sharp whistles sounded in succession.
Now there was no need for probability, the enemy had definitely surrounded them.
Combined with the occasional sense of prying over the past few days, Seimei was almost 100% certain that all of this was related to the person in the dark.
Now it depended on who was surrounding them.
However, Seimei estimated that it was most likely not Root ninjas.
There were two reasons: first, Root couldn't mobilize so many people at once.
Second, with so many people on their side, Root ninjas couldn't wipe them all out, so they wouldn't be so blatant.
Thus, there was only one answer.
"Borrowing a knife to kill!"
Hearing Seimei's words, Hyuga asked in confusion.
Seimei came back to his senses, collected himself, and said, "Let's go."
With that, he ran towards the temporary camp.
Since the enemy had already surrounded them, it would be foolish to separate from the main force. The priority now was to regroup quickly.
Before even getting close to the camp, Seimei heard the sounds of fighting.
Obviously, some enemies had already approached.
With a few flashes, Seimei appeared inside the camp.
He saw that on the north side of the camp, flames flickered, smoke and dust filled the air, and explosions sounded from time to time. Clearly, the battle was happening there.
As for the enemy's identity...
With the help of his Sharingan, Seimei saw clearly that, as he had expected, they weren't Root ninjas but twenty or so Hidden Mist ninjas.
Seimei suddenly realized that the Mist ninja at the front looked familiar.
Green hair, a black vest, bandaged upper body, holding two oddly shaped long swords with blades on the sides.
Who else could it be but Kurosuki Raiga?
Since he knew he was likely to be sent to the Hidden Mist battlefield, Seimei naturally wouldn't do nothing.
In fact, he had already learned a lot about the situation here through Uchiha Kazuma's channels, including information about well-known ninjas.
As the infamous Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, he naturally knew something about them.
Now, the figure in the distance, whether in appearance, attire, or weapons, was exactly the same as the wielder of the 'Lightning Blade', Kurosuki Raiga, mentioned in the intelligence.
Thus, Seimei naturally couldn't mistake him.
In other words, the twin swords in his hands were the 'Lightning Blade: Kiba' among the Seven Ninja Swords.
'If I remember correctly, the ability of the Lightning Blade: Kiba is to generate lightning, right?'
Just as Seimei was thinking this, he saw Kurosuki Raiga suddenly clash his twin swords together.
Immediately, a blinding lightning bolt shot out from them, instantly striking a Konoha Tokubetsu Jonin in front of him.
The Konoha Tokubetsu Jonin screamed, and his entire body was sent flying backward.
Seimei's gaze followed his body's movement.
He could see that the Jonin's skin was completely charred, his clothes were on fire, and his aura had weakened significantly.
Needless to say, he was severely injured and had lost his combat ability.
"As expected of an elite Jonin, his strength is truly formidable!" Seimei thought as he watched Kurosuki Raiga and was about to step forward.
But at this moment, continuous explosions and the painful screams of Konoha ninjas suddenly came from the west side of the camp.
Seimei looked towards the sound and saw a figure with extremely thick lips, a vertical braid and beard, and his left eye covered by a black cloth, slaughtering his way through the ranks.
This was another "familiar face" - Juzo biwa, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the wielder of Kubikiribōchō .
Looking at the giant sword with explosive tags in his hand, Seimei's eyebrows twitched.
Undoubtedly, this was a very dangerous ninja sword.
Those explosive tags were not only a threat to the enemy but also a great danger to the wielder.
However, these were not important for the time being.
Seimei now wanted to know if the Hidden Mist Village had sent all the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
If that was the case, he could consider running away.
Although he could defeat them if he went all out, it would inevitably expose the secret of his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Seimei hadn't forgotten that there was at least one person spying on them in the dark. He didn't want to expose his secrets here.
Fortunately, not all of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had come.
Besides Kurosuki Raiga, the wielder of the 'Lightning Blade', and Jinpachi, the wielder of the 'Explosive Blade', only Hoshigaki Kisame, the wielder of the 'Shark Skin' blade, was participating in the siege.
'Only three of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist came, that's good... my ass!'
'Is Konoha's defense line just for show?'
'Three such dangerous individuals swaggering behind the defense line, even bringing nearly a hundred Mist ninja elites, it's simply a joke.'
If Danzo wasn't involved in this, Seimei would write his name backward...
