Grind is My Ninja Way

Inside the water sphere, a sense of suffocation came. Seimei forcibly held his breath and glanced back from the corner of his eye, then he saw Kisame Hoshigaki's expressionless face.

Correspondingly, Kisame Hoshigaki also saw his expression.

Logically speaking, with Seimei being at his mercy, his face should show regret or unwillingness at this time, especially since he had just fallen from heaven into hell.

However, now, Kisame Hoshigaki didn't see any similar negative expressions on Seimei's face, but instead, in the depths of his eyes, he saw a sense of triumph of a scheme succeeding.

In fact, it was indeed the case.

Although when Kisame Hoshigaki's water clone appeared just now, his vision was blocked by the heavy rain and he couldn't see clearly.

But the nearly one minute of fighting afterwards was enough for him to see through the opponent's reality.

Not to mention that his instinctive action of protecting himself from any harm was different from Kisame Hoshigaki's behavior habits when he fought him with his main body before, just the 'lack' of Chakra in his body was enough to make Seimei vigilant.

But even so, he still pretended not to know, and there was only one purpose, which was to lure out the opponent's main body.

And now, he could confirm that the person behind him was the opponent's main body.

In other words, his plan had succeeded.

Next, he just needed to take down the opponent.

Seimei glanced at the Kirigakure ninjas and Konoha ninjas in the distance, and after confirming that they couldn't see the details here, he planned to use the ability of 'Amenotejikara' to escape and instantly subdue Kisame Hoshigaki.

However, just as he was about to open the Mangekyo Sharingan, he suddenly sensed a subtle Chakra fluctuation in the seawater under his feet.

At the same time, in his vision, a relaxed look flashed in Kisame Hoshigaki's eyes.

"Could it be..."

Suddenly, a terrible guess popped into Seimei's mind, and then he used the 'Great Ball Rasengan' without thinking.

As a hand seal-free ninjutsu, its characteristic of not needing hand seals was just suitable for the current situation.

A mass of Chakra appeared in the palm of his left hand, then condensed into a ball, and then rapidly expanded, stirring the surrounding seawater to rotate rapidly.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the time when he used balloons to practice the 'Rasengan', constantly mobilizing the Chakra in his body and injecting it into the palm of his hand.

Finally, with a "bang", the surrounding water shield could no longer hold on and was broken by the seawater inside.

The 'Water Prison Technique' was broken, and the water prison that imprisoned him shattered. Seimei ignored his breathing, his legs suddenly exerted force, and his whole body lunged forward.

The next moment, a sharp ice spear shot out from below, brushing past his back, and shot into the sky.

It was conceivable that if he had just stayed where he was, he would definitely be pierced by this spear.

At that time, even if he opened the Mangekyo Sharingan in time and used the pupil technique residing in his left eye - 'Amenotejikara' to dodge this blow, he would also expose his secret.

Perhaps the existence of 'Amenotejikara' could allow him to unexpectedly kill or even control Kisame Hoshigaki, but it definitely couldn't kill both him and Yukikaze at the same time.

That's right, it was two people.

Splash~

The sea surface was pushed open, and a shark with a body length of two or three meters appeared. A figure emerged from its mouth, and it was Yukikaze who had escaped from him before.

At some point, he had actually reached a cooperation with Kisame Hoshigaki and hid in the belly of the opponent's summoning beast, preparing to give him a fatal blow.

That's right, this shark was not some Chakra creation, but a real creature, and it was also Kisame Hoshigaki's summoning beast.

And the Chakra fluctuation he had just sensed was the movement of him releasing Yukikaze from his body.

Fortunately, his perception was sharp and he noticed this, and stopped the opening of the Mangekyo Sharingan in time, otherwise the trouble would definitely not be small.

Seimei looked at Kisame Hoshigaki and Yukikaze standing side by side, his face a little ugly.

Just now, he was still proud that he had outsmarted Kisame Hoshigaki, but now it seemed that it was not him who had outsmarted the opponent, but the opponent who had outsmarted him.

Perhaps Kisame Hoshigaki didn't know that he wanted to capture him alive, but after he used the 'Water Clone Technique', he was sure that he could see through it.

That's right, the Sharingan's ability was not a secret, as long as the opponent put himself in his shoes, he could infer that he could see through the details of the water clone.

In this way, it was a bit fake for him to still pretend not to know.

It was probably at that time that he confirmed that he had some conspiracy.

So, he went along with the plan and used the 'Water Release: Water Prison Technique' to trap him.

Of course, at that time, he probably already guessed that a mere 'Water Prison Technique' couldn't trap him, because since he dared to use himself as bait, he definitely had sufficient backup plans.

In fact, it was indeed the case.

If Yukikaze hadn't interfered, he would have immediately opened 'Amenotejikara', escaped from the water prison, and controlled him at the same time.

Unfortunately, Yukikaze appeared and disrupted his plan.

However, then again, if Yukikaze hadn't cooperated, Kisame Hoshigaki probably wouldn't have given him this opportunity.

After all, in this wave of schemes, he was on the third level, while the opponent was on the fifth level.

It was also because he had great skills and escaped from the water prison in time, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

But in this way, it would be more difficult for him to capture the opponent alive.

"Damn it!"

Seimei looked at Yukikaze in front of him and cursed inwardly.

After a long time, he finally calmed down and began to think about what to do next.

Kisame Hoshigaki was definitely a formidable opponent, requiring his full attention.

As for Yukikaze...

Although he was injured by him in the previous battle, judging from his current appearance, after this period of treatment, he had obviously recovered.

Conservatively estimated, he should still have about 60-70% of his combat power.

In this way, it was really difficult to deal with the two of them together.

And just as Seimei was thinking about how to deal with the two of them, they were also thinking about how to deal with him.

For a time, the scene was a bit quiet.

Time passed by every minute and every second.

At a certain moment, a gust of sea breeze blew past, stirring up waves several meters high, slapping towards the three of them.

In an instant, the three of them moved together, facing each other.

Obviously, the three of them had the same idea, that is, if they didn't know how to deal with the enemy for the time being, they would just fight head-on first.

In terms of close combat, Kisame Hoshigaki and Yukikaze, any one of them, might not be a match for Seimei alone.

But the two of them were confident that if they joined forces, Seimei wouldn't be able to easily defeat them.

Therefore, they directly launched an attack.

Similarly, facing the two's pincer attack, Seimei was not afraid at all.

He had lv4 'Instant Sword Technique', lv6 'Illusionary Sword Technique', and lv7 (0/0) 'Swordsmanship'.

Let's not talk about the former, the threat to the two people in front of him was not high, but the latter two, any one of them in the hands of an ordinary Jonin, was the existence of a trump card.

So, he was not afraid at all and directly chose to fight.
