Chapter 215: Arrival and Decision

It turned out that their worries were not unfounded.

Just as they shook off the last wave of Iwa ninja blockades and spent more than two hours reaching the Kaze willow Town stronghold, they learned just how dire the situation here was.

At the same time, they also understood why the Kaze willow Town stronghold hadn't sent anyone to support them. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but the circumstances simply didn't allow it.

Currently, not far from the Kaze willow Town stronghold, two Iwa ninja forces were stationed, including the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han.

This put immense pressure on the Kaze willow Town stronghold, and they didn't dare to send anyone for support.

Not only that, they were also constantly requesting reinforcements from other strongholds and the rear headquarters.

"No wonder the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki didn't appear among the ninjas who were besieging us. They were all here!"

Seimei and the others suddenly realized.

Previously, after learning that several nearby strongholds had been breached by the Four-Tails Jinchuriki and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, they were worried whether these two would participate in the mission to besiege them.

They weren't sure about the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, but they had firsthand experience with the Five-Tails Jinchuriki, Han's, tenacity, and the Four-Tails Jinchuriki was likely no less formidable.

If these two joined the battle, their chances of escape would be extremely slim.

However, to their surprise, they hadn't encountered these two along the way.

Initially, they thought it was just good luck.

Now it seemed that it was probably the Kaze willow Town stronghold that had attracted their attention, preventing them from encountering them.

Even the true main force of Iwagakure was also drawn here.

This was how they managed to escape.

After learning about these circumstances, Nara Shi Shui and the others felt a wave of fear.

With the amount of troops Iwagakure had mobilized this time, if they were all used against them, they probably wouldn't be able to escape even with wings.

And even if they did escape, they wouldn't have so many survivors.

Well...

Although there weren't many people left now, it was still better than being completely wiped out, wasn't it?

"You have one day to rest. After one day, you will join the defense forces and follow my orders, understand?"

In front of Seimei and the others, Omura Tadahito, the commander-in-chief of the Kaze willow Town stronghold, said in a serious voice.

The orders they had received before were to return to the Kaze willow Town stronghold to assist in the defense, so naturally, they wouldn't refuse his orders now.

However, in the end, Seimei still asked, "Captain Tadahito, how long do you estimate it will be before Iwagakure launches an attack?"

Hearing this, Omura Tadahito glanced at him and then said, "Based on the current intelligence, it will probably take about a week for them to be ready."

"A week, huh..."

Seimei pondered for a moment, nodded to indicate that he understood, and then said no more.

Seeing this, Omura Tadahito didn't ask why he had asked that question and turned to answer other people's questions.

On the side, Seimei listened quietly to their conversation while thinking to himself.

According to his previous plan, he would suspend the practice of other skills for a period of time.

All the chakra recovered each day would be invested in practicing the 'Mystical Palm Technique' to strengthen his body with all his might.

But it would still take about ten days to achieve a qualitative change, causing his body to undergo a transformation and thus increase his 'Constitution' attribute.

However, the great battle would break out in a week. If he couldn't improve before then, it would be a complete waste of these days.

But if he invested his chakra in other skills, Seimei felt somewhat unwilling.

After all, the improvement of the 'Constitution' attribute was related to the subsequent opening of the Mangekyo Sharingan. He didn't want to postpone his plan every time he encountered trouble.

For a moment, Seimei couldn't make up his mind.

But Omura Tadahito's next sentence made his eyes light up.

He heard him say, "In the coming days, the Iwa ninjas will definitely keep sending small teams to probe. You have the most experience fighting them, so I hope you can contribute more then."

'That's right, there are still Iwa ninjas!'

Seimei wasn't planning to go back to his old ways of capturing these Iwa ninjas to use as 'chakra batteries'. In this unfamiliar environment, doing so was too risky.

His idea was to plunder the chakra of those Iwa ninjas during missions.

In this way, he could completely make up for his chakra deficit and further accelerate the strengthening of his body, allowing his 'Constitution' attribute to increase within seven days.

But this would require him to plunder at least seventeen thousand chakra points or more every day, otherwise, there still wouldn't be enough time.

'Seventeen thousand points...'

If he didn't care about the target's life and extracted all their chakra, a Chunin could probably provide him with seven thousand chakra points. Seventeen thousand points meant two and a half people.

So, coupled with some miscellaneous consumption, to achieve his goal, he had to extract the chakra of at least three Iwa Chunin every day.

This difficulty...

Didn't seem too big!

However, he needed to pay attention to arranging his training time and mission time properly during this period, ensuring no mistakes.

Otherwise, any accident could cause his plan to fail.

Thinking this in his heart, Seimei secretly made up his mind.

At the same time, Omura Tadahito had finished answering everyone's questions and explained their subsequent mission arrangements.

Then, he let them go and rest.

The Kaze willow Town stronghold was originally a small town with many houses. Although many were damaged due to the continuous battles, there were still quite a few that were habitable. Seimei was assigned to one of these rooms.

Returning to his residence, Seimei didn't rush to rest. Instead, he washed his face, refreshed himself, and then started practicing the 'Mystical Palm Technique'.

Today, he still had a lot of chakra he could use. Seimei didn't want to waste it, so he had to seize the time to practice the 'Mystical Palm Technique'.

As the Yang Release chakra condensed, Seimei felt a warm current flowing within his body, following the chakra pathways, seeping into the cells of his organs, nourishing and strengthening them.

About three minutes later, the Yang Release chakra was depleted, and the strengthening effect disappeared. Seimei formed hand seals again and performed the 'Mystical Palm Technique'.

In this way, Seimei maintained a frequency of once every three minutes, continuously performing the 'Mystical Palm Technique', using the condensed Yang Release chakra to slowly promote the evolution of his body.

Time passed by, and Seimei gradually immersed himself in the strengthening process.

It wasn't until near evening, when the usable chakra for the day was exhausted, that he stopped his training.

At this point, Seimei was extremely sleepy.

But he still forced himself to stay awake, prepared some food, and only after filling his stomach did he fall asleep.

Only with sufficient nutrition could he ensure the recovery of chakra, otherwise, it would be straining his body, and Seimei didn't want any accidents right now.

Therefore, timely replenishment after training was also very important.
