After the Anbu Captain was removed from his trajectory, Michikatsu collided directly with the Special Jonin. Due to Michikatsu's speed and strength, the Special Jonin was forcefully dragged backward.

Remaining focused, Michikatsu continued his attack on the Special Jonin, knowing that his Sekido clone wouldn't be able to hold back the Captain of Anbu for long.

The blades of Michikatsu and the Special Jonin continued to clash, and in this battle, Michikatsu held the advantage. However, the Special Jonin managed to hold his own against Michikatsu, though something was amiss. The Special Jonin could feel his body growing colder with each collision, and his hands began to shake, making it difficult to hold his sword. When the Special Jonin looked at his hand, he was shocked to see a thin layer of ice had formed on it.

Unfazed by the Special Jonin's surprise, Michikatsu decided to finish the fight quickly. Just as the Special Jonin contemplated countermeasures against Michikatsu, two additional hands suddenly sprouted from Michikatsu's body. "What the...?"

Before the Special Jonin could react or use his newly grown hands, Michikatsu employed the 'Blood Demon Art: Destructive Death' technique. He punched rapidly into the air, creating shockwaves potent enough to inflict immense pain on the Special Jonin. Weakened and trembling due to the ice covering his body, the Special Jonin lost concentration, providing Michikatsu with the opportunity to instantly kill him.

After killing the Special Jonin, Michikatsu turned his attention to the Anbu captain. He noticed that the captain was engaged in battle with his two clones, Sekido and Urogi. Michikatsu speculated, "It seems the captain severed Sekido's head once, which is why Urogi emerged. The reason the Anbu captain is avoiding them appears to be his desire to prevent the creation of more clones."

At this moment, blood trickled from Michikatsu's mouth. He wiped it from his lips and remarked, "I don't have much time left before the effects of 'Enhanced Breathing: First Stage' wear off. Today, I've used 'Blood Demon Art' excessively. Just a few more times, and I won't be able to use any 'Blood Demon Art'."

Michikatsu's two extra hands had disappeared entirely, and he formed a pot in his right hand. He hurled it toward the Anbu captain and fashioned another pot, which he secured to his belt. Then, he sprinted in the direction of the captain. The Jonin also observed Michikatsu approaching and, upon seeing this, understood that his last subordinate had perished.

Upon noticing the captain's attention fixed on Michikatsu, Urogi unleashed a Sonic Scream attack on the captain. However, the captain managed to dodge it, and Sekido also attempted to strike with lightning, which the captain evaded once again.

Michikatsu suddenly appeared in front of the captain. Without wasting any time on idle chatter, the captain immediately launched an attack on Michikatsu. The swords of both Michikatsu and the captain clashed, and Michikatsu matched the captain's movements. The captain had weakened from the frequent use of the 'Body Flicker technique,' and so both Michikatsu and the captain engaged in a deadly battle, wielding their swords.

However, there was a significant difference in their tactics. Michikatsu purposefully moved in a circular direction, keeping the captain at the center. "Although this ability may not have the desired effect, it should still be able to disrupt him enough for me to finish him off," thought Michikatsu.

Michikatsu disengaged from the fight, retreating a short distance from the captain. This move confused the captain; he couldn't discern Michikatsu's intentions. His doubts were swiftly answered when spikes suddenly began sprouting from all directions around him, precisely where Michikatsu had been moving, with the captain as the central point. Exclaiming, "Damn it!" the captain attempted to leave, but he was interrupted by a voice saying, "Go to sleep." His consciousness began to blur, and though he used his Chakra to jolt himself awake, it was already too late, and the spikes pierced his body.

"Hah... Hah," Michikatsu gasped heavily and coughed up blood, a result of his excessive use of 'Enhanced Breathing.' Defeating the captain had not been easy for Michikatsu. He began by moving in all directions around the captain, dispersing flesh seeds known as 'Blood Demon Art: Flesh Seeds.' These flesh seeds then sprouted into massive spikes that pierced the captain. Even though the captain resisted the effects of 'Blood Demon Art: Sleep Inducement' at the last moment by releasing an outbreak of Chakra and attempted to escape from the spikes, it was futile. The spikes had already penetrated the captain's body, and their nature dictated that once they entered the body and came into contact with flesh and blood, they would continue to extend their spike branches inside the body, rendering it impossible for the affected person to move.

The captain asked with difficulty, "What is your bizarre ability that allows you to use so many different types of Kekkei Genkai?"

Michikatsu replied, "I would have answered your question if you were not my enemy, but I'm sorry, I can't tell you."

The captain died as a result of excessive blood loss and the rupture of his internal organs caused by the spikes growing inside his body.
