Seimei followed the Takigakure Anbu member ahead, moving swiftly through the winding passages until they arrived at another cavern, not far from the Sealing Chamber.
From here, it was the same path Seimei had taken earlier.
One couldn't help but marvel at the unique terrain of Takigakure Village.
Due to most of the village being concealed within the mountains, there weren't any particularly spacious areas. The village was essentially a series of interconnected caverns.
This terrain not only allowed them to easily fend off external enemies but also enabled them to seal off sections for thorough searches.
Currently, that was exactly what the Takigakure Anbu were doing.
Unfortunately for them, they were unaware that Seimei had been waiting for this very opportunity.
After following the Anbu member into the cavern, Seimei didn't hesitate. He immediately activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and used his left eye's ability—Heaven's Movement!
In an instant, he vanished from sight and rapidly approached the unsuspecting Anbu.
Once within striking distance, he deactivated Heaven's Movement, revealing his presence.
Previously, while maintaining a safe distance, he was able to conceal his aura. But now, his presence was as conspicuous as a torch in the dark.
Unsurprisingly, the Takigakure Anbu instantly sensed him, instinctively diving forward to create some distance.
Mid-dive, he reached for several kunai and, with a swift turn, prepared to hurl them at Seimei.
His movements were fluid and precise, executed with impressive speed and stealth.
However, no matter how fast he moved, he couldn't surpass the perception of Seimei's Sharingan.
In a fraction of a second, Seimei saw through his actions. It wasn't just a few kunai; explosive tags were wrapped around them.
Clearly, his intention wasn't merely to kill but to create a commotion and alert others.
But Seimei couldn't allow that. He needed to assume this Anbu's identity and infiltrate the Sealing Chamber undetected.
In that instant, his Sharingan spun, and just as their eyes met, he cast Genjutsu: Sharingan.
The Anbu, well aware of the Sharingan's fearsome abilities, tried to shut his eyes.
But he was a step too late.
The moment their eyes connected, his consciousness was pulled into a world of illusion.
Seeing the immobilized Anbu, Seimei swiftly closed the distance.
His first action was to disarm him, carefully removing the kunai wrapped with explosive tags.
Relieved that they hadn't been triggered, he safely stored them away before refocusing on his target.
Removing the Anbu's mask, he saw a young shinobi, likely in his early twenties.
Seimei carefully examined his face and clothing before proceeding to read his memories.
Time was of the essence, so he couldn't afford to comb through all the memories. He focused on the crucial ones: the Anbu's codename and the passcodes required to move through restricted areas.
After swiftly extracting the necessary information, Seimei opened his eyes.
"So, your name is... Black Snake."
He murmured the codename under his breath.
Without hesitation, he formed his hand into a blade, activating Chakra Scalpel and swiftly slicing through the Anbu's throat.
The sudden suffocation snapped Black Snake out of the genjutsu.
His eyes widened in shock as he glared at Seimei, making strained, gurgling noises in his attempt to call for help.
Even in the face of death, his willpower was evident—he still intended to alert the village.
But nothing escaped Seimei's Sharingan.
Just as Black Snake began to move, Seimei struck again, severing the chakra pathways and muscles in his right arm. His arm froze mid-motion.
To ensure there was no further struggle, Seimei's hand flashed across his chest, cutting through his heart muscle.
Black Snake's defiance faded, and he collapsed, lifeless.
Seimei silently moved his body to a hidden corner, concealing the corpse. He then performed Transformation Jutsu, taking on Black Snake's appearance.
For maximum caution, he should have completely destroyed the body.
However, inside this barrier, he chose to be more conservative and avoided using any large-scale jutsu.
It wasn't a huge risk—as long as the body wasn't discovered immediately, his plan would proceed smoothly.
His strategy was simple: infiltrate the Sealing Chamber, complete his objective, then use Heaven's Movement to vanish before escaping with Flying Thunder God Technique.
Even if the body was found later, it would be too late for Takigakure to react.
With that thought, Seimei moved confidently toward the Sealing Chamber.
Inside the chamber, the sealing ritual continued, or rather, it had to continue.
Seven Tails' resistance grew stronger with each passing moment.
Previously, it seemed content to remain in the chamber, possibly due to the safety and solitude it offered.
But now, it sensed an imminent threat.
As a result, its struggles became more intense.
Under these circumstances, resealing it became extremely difficult.
Moreover, this posed a future risk—if they attempted another Jinchūriki transplant, it might resist even more.
Additionally, the possible presence of hidden enemies added to their stress.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Takigakure Elder made his decision: Proceed with the plan as scheduled!
This was the only way to permanently resolve the issue.
To be safe, he summoned more personnel and increased the security along the route to the Sealing Chamber.
But this was futile against Seimei.
Using Black Snake's identity, he passed through all the checkpoints without raising suspicion.
Just before the sealing of Seven Tails into Fū was completed, he entered the Sealing Chamber.
The Takigakure Elder turned to him and asked, "Black Snake, what's the matter?"
Seimei responded instantly, "Elder, we've encountered some issues outside."
Without breaking stride, he continued walking forward.
The Elder, showing no signs of panic, casually asked, "What kind of issues?"
This time, however, Seimei didn't immediately answer.
Wait...
Suddenly, the Elder's eyes widened in realization. He shouted, "Stop right there!"
But Seimei ignored the command, quickening his pace instead.
This alerted everyone in the chamber.
Several Anbu members reacted instantly, hurling kunai at his vital points.
They then moved to intercept his advance.
But they were too slow...
With a flicker of movement, Seimei was already in front of one of the Takigakure shinobi.
