After killing two more enemies, Aomei didn't stop moving.
With a flash of azure light around him, he once again used his "Instant Sword Technique," appearing in front of another Mist Ninja chūnin.
Clang!
The sound of a sword colliding with a kunai rang out, sending sparks flying.
The Mist Ninja chūnin's peripheral vision caught Aomei raising his left hand. Remembering the fate of his fallen comrades earlier, he immediately kicked off the ground, using the recoil from the kunai to propel himself backward.
However, Aomei's motion was nothing more than a feint. In the split second their eyes met, he activated "Genjutsu: Sharingan."
In an instant, the Mist Ninja chūnin's consciousness was trapped in an illusion.
Aomei's left hand, shaped like a blade, mimicked slashing across the ninja's throat.
The next moment, blood gushed out.
Even though Aomei hadn't physically touched the Mist Ninja chūnin's neck, a deep wound appeared, as if a sharp blade had truly slashed through his throat.
This wasn't some mere illusion—it was caused by Aomei's use of the "Chakra Scalpel."
With the variety of techniques now at his disposal, taking down an average chūnin was almost effortless.
Ignoring the Mist Ninja chūnin who was now gasping and breaking free from the illusion due to suffocation, Aomei once again flashed his azure light and appeared next to another nearby Mist Ninja chūnin.
But this time, before he could strike, several shurikens flew toward him.
Aomei quickly glanced at them, identifying that they had been thrown by the other nearby Mist Ninja chūnin.
Clearly, after seeing him strike three times consecutively, these ninjas had discerned his pattern and anticipated his movements.
Without panicking, Aomei abandoned his attack on the nearby chūnin. His body shifted and flickered, easily dodging the incoming shurikens.
As he avoided them, he locked his gaze on the attackers and launched his own shurikens in retaliation.
This seamless shift between attack and defense left the Mist Ninja chūnin flustered and disoriented.
Seizing this opportunity, Aomei targeted one of them, forming hand seals mid-motion and using "Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique."
In an instant, the single shuriken heading toward the Mist Ninja chūnin multiplied into dozens, swarming at him.
The targeted chūnin's face visibly paled.
Despite his predicament, he was quick to respond. At the very last moment, he used a "Substitution Jutsu."
Thunk, thunk, thunk!
A series of dull thuds echoed as the shuriken clones embedded themselves into a wooden log.
Not far away, behind a tree, the Mist Ninja chūnin reappeared.
Although his face was full of lingering fear, there was a faint sense of relief in his eyes at having narrowly escaped death.
However, before he could fully process his escape, a shout from a fellow Mist Ninja broke through his momentary solace:
"Watch out!"
The shout came from another Mist Ninja chūnin, who was staring intently at the space behind him.
Only then did he realize something was wrong—where Aomei had been standing earlier was now empty.
A single bead of cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
Glancing back over his shoulder, he couldn't see anyone, but the shadow on the ground told him someone was standing directly behind him.
At that moment, his brain worked rapidly, calculating the exact position of the person behind him based on the shadow's angle.
He swung his arm, aiming the kunai in his hand backward toward the attacker's neck.
Unfortunately, while his brain had issued the command, his body failed to carry it out.
The moment he made his decision, his vision abruptly shifted, rising and spinning. He realized he was looking at a headless corpse and a familiar figure behind it.
"Is that…me?"
As his gaze fell upon the lifeless body, clarity dawned upon Kikuta Satoshi's fading consciousness.
His eyes then shifted to the figure standing behind the corpse—Aomei. His expression was filled with deep unwillingness.
As though sensing his unspoken defiance, Aomei raised his eyes to meet Satoshi's fading gaze.
For a fleeting moment, his crimson Sharingan dominated Satoshi's entire field of vision, extinguishing the last traces of his awareness.
Aomei, expressionless, stepped back two paces, avoiding the blood spurting from the decapitated body.
The entire sequence, from killing three enemies to silencing Satoshi, had transpired in mere seconds. The surrounding Mist Ninja, who had initially intended to surround Aomei, were now frozen in fear, too intimidated to act.
Aomei's gaze swept across the group. Calmly, he flicked the blood off his blade before turning to focus on the Mist Ninja Special Jōnin who had cast the earlier "Water Release: Hidden Mist Jutsu."
The timing of the Hidden Mist Jutsu had been impeccable, but it was easily dispelled by Aomei's "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough."
This failure had reduced the Special Jōnin's presence significantly, yet he was still a higher priority target than the surrounding Mist Ninja chūnin.
Without wasting time, Aomei dashed toward him again.
The other Mist Ninja, cowed by his overwhelming aura, didn't dare obstruct him. Meanwhile, the distant Mist Ninja jōnin were too preoccupied with the Konoha jōnin to intervene.
Helpless, the Mist Ninja Special Jōnin had no choice but to stand his ground.
As for running away—that was an impossibility.
Aomei's speed was far superior, and the Special Jōnin dared not expose his back to such a relentless adversary.
Clang! Clang!
The fierce clash of blades and weapons erupted once more.
Aomei effortlessly used various sword techniques, pressuring the Special Jōnin at every turn.
However, with the Special Jōnin holding his ground, the other Mist Ninja chūnin finally snapped out of their stupor. They began coordinating long-range attacks to harass Aomei.
Unfortunately, their abilities weren't enough. Their attacks were easily avoided and hardly distracted Aomei.
In no time, Aomei inflicted a third wound on the Special Jōnin.
While these injuries weren't severe enough to incapacitate him, the cumulative blood loss was gradually weakening him.
At a critical moment, Aomei seized an opening, avoiding a flurry of attacks from the surrounding chūnin and unleashing "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
The distance between him and the Special Jōnin was short, leaving the latter with minimal time to react.
Thanks to his keen senses, the Special Jōnin managed to dodge the fireball at the last second.
Boom!
The fireball exploded against a large tree behind him, leaving a charred crater and igniting small flames around the area.
Aomei shifted his gaze toward the Special Jōnin, who had barely evaded the attack, and swiftly changed his hand seals to launch another jutsu—"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"
Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!
A series of fireballs shot out from Aomei's mouth like bullets, homing in on the Special Jōnin.
This time, luck wasn't on his side.
Though he managed to avoid a fatal hit, several fireballs struck him, leaving burn marks across his body.
