Seimei used his Tenseigan to keep an eye on the summoner of the Boneclaw. And that guy wasn't a nobody.
He was none other than the only S-rank ninja other than the Shimada clan leader. That guy had huge chakra reserves, and he still had more than 80% of his original chakra capacity after summoning the Boneclaw.
Seimei didn't know what that guy's specialty was.
But from his features, Seimei could somewhat discern his identity.
Pure white hair, absurd vitality, a superior skeletal system, and two bright red dots on his forehead near his eyebrows.
Kaguya clan.
A clan of powerful and bloodthirsty ninjas. Wielder of one of the most feared and ruthless Kekkei Genkai in the history of Shinobi—Shikotsumyaku: Dead Bone Pulse.
And he had just recovered the chakra he had lost to summon Boneclaw, and he was making his way toward the battlefield.
And his total chakra reserves?
"At least 300K units of chakra."
Seimei murmured as he watched the Kaguya clan ninja's actions.
The white-haired Kaguya clan ninja looked around the battlefield for a few moments. And soon, he raised his two hands toward one direction without wasting any time.
Seimei could see chakra gathering in his finger bones along with a shroud of Wind Release chakra.
And his target?
A Special Jonin of Konoha who just finished killing one of the Shimada clan Chunin.
"Fuck! This guy has no chill."
Seimei cursed as he sprang into action.
Lightning Release: Thunder Body Flicker
Multiple arcs of purple lightning bolts flashed all around Seimei's legs, activating his cells for better, faster movement.
Crackle!
And then, with a flash of purple lightning, Seimei disappeared from the spot.
Seimei's movement didn't go unnoticed by Kaguya Katsuro, the white-haired S-rank ninja from Kirigakure.
But he didn't care.
The boy wasn't moving toward him.
So, he focused on his target, a Konoha ninja who had just finished killing his target, and sighed in relief, putting him in a rather vulnerable state.
The Konoha ninja had been fighting nonstop, and exhaustion finally hit him, making him loosen his guard a little right after killing his last enemy.
And Katsuro wanted to capitalize on it. After all, if you could kill an unguarded enemy easily, it was better to hit them hard.
Shikotsumyaku: Ten Finger Drilling Wind Bullet
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ten sharp, bullet-shaped bone fragments pierced through the skin of Katsuro's fingertips before they started rotating at a high speed.
Next, a significant amount of wind chakra gathered around the spinning bone fragments, making them even sharper.
At the next moment, the ten spinning bone fragments broke off and shot toward the blissfully unaware Konoha Special Jonin, targeting his vitals, including his heart, throat, and the center of his forehead.
And the wind chakra made the already fast projectiles even faster, making them almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
When the spiraling bone bullets were just three meters away from the Konoha ninja, he finally noticed them.
His eyes constricted in terror, but it was too late to dodge.
He could only look as the bone bullets got closer and closer.
Just when all his hope was dashed, he suddenly heard the crackling sound of thunder.
Crackle!
At the next moment, Seimei's figure, covered in tendrils of purple lightning, appeared in front of him.
Seimei channeled lightning chakra through his blade and performed multiple slashing gestures in the blink of an eye.
Cling! Cling! Cling! Clang! Clink! Clang!
Seimei waved his ninjato so fast that both his blade and his right arm became blurry, making it difficult to track their movements.
And Seimei had successfully deflected the spinning bone bullets.
Eight bullets were deflected to the ground around him. The bullets cracked the ground, each creating ten-centimeter-wide craters.
One bullet was deflected toward an unfortunate Shimada clan Chunin, who got his throat pierced by it.
And the last bullet grazed the right arm of the Konoha ninja behind Seimei.
Although the skin and the muscles of the Konoha ninja were torn and the wound started bleeding, the wound wasn't fatal or crippling.
It was just a flesh wound—nothing a dose of medium-grade healing potion couldn't fix.
Seimei looked at Katsuro, the ninja who was responsible for the sneak attack, with a calm and collected expression.
But he was already sweating bullets.
Damn, almost didn't make it in time. The force behind each of those spinning bone bullets was insane.
Seimei thought while keeping his eyes locked on the Kaguya clan ninja, who also lifted an eyebrow as he assessed Seimei.
This kid's speed is astonishing. Katsuro thought before he started walking forward.
Haah! This guy is a genuine S-rank ninja with one of the most troublesome Kekkei Genkai, which made him exceedingly dangerous in close combat. If I am not careful, I will end up with multiple holes in my body.
Seimei thought grimly as he made a battle plan to deal with the Kaguya clan ninja.
There was no doubt about it. This was going to be one of his toughest battles so far.
After all, the opponent wasn't an oversized, slightly intelligent chakra beast.
No.
His opponent was an S-rank ninja with decades of battle experience.
Cunning. Ruthless. Powerful.
Someone who had mastered his powers and knew how to kill the enemy in front of him at all costs.
Seimei observed the battles between Uchiha Hiroshi and Senju Tatsuya with his Tenseigan's 360-degree vision while keeping his eyes on Kaguya Katsuro.
It doesn't look like Jonin Tatsuya or Hiroshi will be free anytime soon. So, I will have to fight this guy in front of me on my own.
Seimei mused before hardening his resolve.
Then, he, too, walked forward to meet his enemy head-on.
"Let's go break some bones."
------------------------
After a few moments, Seimei and Katsuro stood fifteen meters apart.
Having watched Seimei's skill when he blocked the spinning bone bullets, Katsuro was determined to deal with Seimei. Otherwise, if he let Seimei run wild, the casualties on their side would only increase by leaps and bounds.
Seimei went after Kaguya Katsuro for the same reason.
Bones harder than steel, huh?
Let's start with some heat treatment, then.
Seimei thought inwardly before gathering a large amount of Fire Release chakra in his throat.
Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet
