Chapter 47: Let's Go Together...!

Uchiha Qi slightly looked up in surprise at Orochimaru, not expecting him to be the first to bring up the matter.

From the very beginning, when he learned that Seishi and Hanzo had fought to a draw, he wanted to ask Seishi for an explanation.

This was completely different from the strength Seishi showed when he sparred with him.

In the previous few sparring sessions with Seishi, he had shown strength only slightly stronger than his.

But if Seishi and Hanzo were evenly matched, then he had gone too easy on him.

After hearing Orochimaru's words, Uchiha Qi, Hyuga Tenzou, and Jiraiya all had a look of eager anticipation on their faces, even Tsunade had the same expression on her face.

All of these people more or less had this idea in their hearts, but Orochimaru was the first to bring it up.

Orochimaru seemed to have also noticed the thoughts of the others. He raised his hand and said, "Don't compete with me, I brought this up first. If you also want to spar with Seishi, then wait until I'm done!"

Seishi looked at Orochimaru with a shrug and said, "It's fine, you can decide among yourselves. For me, it's all the same. It's just a matter of order."

Seeing Seishi's attitude, several people felt a surge of anger in their hearts.

Although they all knew that they were no match for Seishi, the gap shouldn't be so big that it couldn't be bridged.

Seishi faced them as if they were not Jōnin, but just graduated genin.

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and leapt forward, immediately pouncing in front of Seishi with his hands holding kunai and slashing towards his chest like a crescent moon.

They had been old friends for many years and knew that at this time, holding back was the greatest disrespect to each other.

And Orochimaru knew that this level of attack couldn't cause any harm to Seishi.

Sure enough, the moment the kunai stabbed down, Seishi's body turned into a blur and disappeared from his sight.

"Orochimaru, it's been so long, it seems your strength hasn't improved much. Your speed is still so slow..." Seishi's voice came faintly from behind him.

When Orochimaru looked back, he saw Seishi standing in place with his arms crossed, a faint smile on his face.

At this moment, he couldn't even tell if he had any intention of making a move.

"This guy... his speed is even faster than before... could it be that his speed improvement has no limit?" Orochimaru's eyes became more and more serious.

From the beginning, he and the others thought that Seishi was simply increasing his speed.

But the more he fought with Seishi, the more he felt that Seishi's speed was not the only thing that was fast.

It seemed that every time he used his acceleration ability, his body frequency would become different.

Rather than saying that his speed had become faster, it was more like his time had become different from everyone else's!

Upon realizing this, Orochimaru felt a chill down his spine. Even with his intelligence, he was able to understand this point.

If Seishi was the owner of this ability, then he couldn't possibly not know his own situation.

However, for Orochimaru, this was irrelevant. Everyone has their own secrets, and even he himself was no exception.

As long as he knew that Seishi was his friend, it was enough.

After an unsuccessful attack, Orochimaru's fire ninjutsu landed in the small river behind them.

"Hah!... Hah...! Hah!..."

He gasped for breath heavily.

After fighting with Seishi for about ten minutes in high intensity, even with his physical strength, he was starting to feel a little overwhelmed.

During this time, Orochimaru had used almost everything he had learned in the past few years, except for a few tricks he had up his sleeve.

But Seishi in front of him was still calm and collected, appearing not to be panicked in the slightest.

Every time Orochimaru was about to strike him, he would just evade Orochimaru's attacks.

"This guy...!"

Orochimaru's anger grew even stronger at this point.

Seishi had a tendency to be somewhat sadistic, and if he faced an opponent who was weaker than him in battle, he would use this method to taunt them.

This was the reason why Orochimaru and his team rarely fought Seishi.

Fighting him meant facing the result of being ruthlessly ridiculed.

Although Seishi didn't say much during these times, his actions made it even more frustrating.

Looking at Seishi's current posture, the expressions on the faces of Uchiha Qi and his teammates who stood beside him fell.

It was clear that these people had been reminded of the fear they had experienced when they were dominated by Seishi.

With a long sigh, Seishi's face showed a somewhat unsatisfied expression.

He turned his head and smiled at Uchiha Qi and his teammates, saying, "Or... why don't you all come together?"

After hearing his words, the group raised their eyebrows and chuckled.

They didn't expect Seishi to say such words.

This was because they completely believed that they posed no threat to him.

...

An hour later.

Uchiha Qi stared at Seishi with bloodshot eyes, Tenzou felt like his eyes were about to burst, and Jiraiya lay on the grass with all four legs up, not caring about his image...

The only one who looked okay was Tsunade, but even she had a gloomy expression on her face, as if blaming Seishi for not going easy on her.

Seishi sheathed his Muramasa sword. Since everyone present were not enemies, he did not unsheathe his sword.

However, Orochimaru and his companions would rather Seishi use his sword against them than be covered in red marks on his face, as if he had been beaten with a stick.

Seishi twitched his mouth and resisted the urge to laugh when he saw the appearance of the few people in front of him.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru had a complicated look on his face and said to him, "I didn't realize that the gap between us had become so big unconsciously..."
