There was no mark on it. He didn't know which force this spy belonged to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as Seimei was observing the other person, the figure seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned their head to look in his direction, then paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, they had also discovered Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Seimei was considering whether to activate his Sharingan and use hypnosis to detain the person, they used the Body Flicker Technique and disappeared from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the rapidly retreating figure, Seimei didn't choose to pursue them, even though he might be able to catch up if he went all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But doing so would inevitably expose his whereabouts. Compared to the numerous Iwa and Cloud ninjas ahead, a single person wasn't worth the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, Seimei continued forward. When he reached a spot that was neither too close nor too far, he hid again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hours passed in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, even though the Third Raikage was still charging at the front and the other Cloud ninjas were fighting desperately, they couldn't break through the Iwa ninja's formation a second time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In two whole hours, the Cloud ninjas had only advanced less than a kilometer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this time, they were still surrounded by the Iwa ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as time went on, more and more Iwa ninjas gathered here, and the pressure on them grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Raikage instantly repelled several Iwa jonin, leaped into the air, and surveyed the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw countless Iwa ninjas surging towards them like a tide, while the Cloud ninjas beside him were like a dam, constantly being eroded, at risk of collapsing at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Raikage understood that he had lost this confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Raikage scanned his subordinates who were fighting desperately and thought to himself, \"These people absolutely cannot all die here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were the elites of Kumogakure. If they were all lost, Kumogakure would definitely suffer a great blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hesitating for only a few seconds, the Third Raikage made up his mind. His eyes changed, and he instantly pushed the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With crackling sounds, materialized lightning appeared on his body, like a thick armor, providing him with all-around protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Raikage didn't waste any words and immediately leaped out of the Cloud ninja ranks again, charging into the dense Iwa ninja army and starting a frenzy of killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a short time, dozens of Iwa ninjas died under his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iwa ninjas had no choice but to mobilize even more people to besiege the Third Raikage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Correspondingly, the pressure on the main Cloud ninja force was greatly reduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they started to move slowly, shifting towards the border.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, the Third Raikage showed no intention of breaking through the encirclement, only engaging in a mad slaughter, attracting more and more Iwa ninjas to surround him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, in no time, the battlefield was divided into two parts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One part was the battleground between the Iwa ninja and the main Cloud ninja force, while the other part was the fighting area between the Third Raikage and a group of Iwa ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed by second by second, and the distance between the two battlefields grew further and further apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Third Raikage attracted a large number of Iwa ninjas, the main Cloud ninja force was almost about to break through the encirclement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, a familiar voice echoed in the Third Raikage's mind, \"Third Raikage-sama, it's enough. You can break through now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, upon hearing these words, the Third Raikage didn't do as instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first looked at his subordinates from afar, then scanned the numerous Iwa ninjas surrounding him, and finally replied in his mind, \"His, you guys go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Third Raikage-sama, what do you mean?\" His's anxious voice echoed in the Third Raikage's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quiet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Raikage shouted in a low voice, stopping His's words, then sighed softly and said, \"His, we lost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know, sir, but we can start over.\" His replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Raikage interrupted her, saying in a low voice, \"We lost, and we have to pay the price. Either you or me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haven't you realized it yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Raikage continued, \"Once I also try to break through, Iwagakure will immediately mobilize all their forces to surround you. That's something I don't want to see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are no buts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wanted to say something but was directly interrupted by the Third Raikage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His, you are the future of Kumogakure. Protect yourselves and don't let my sacrifice be in vain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Raikage said this last sentence and then expelled His's wisp of spiritual power from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei witnessed a slight pause from the main Cloud ninja force, but they quickly continued their breakthrough, and their speed increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Seimei was basically certain that the 'plot' was largely unfolding according to his memories from his past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn't know how the Third Raikage and his subordinates had discussed it, there was no doubt that the Third Raikage intended to stay behind alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, staying behind wasn't quite accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was alone. Even with his great strength, it would be difficult to stop thousands of Iwa ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Iwagakure hadn't chosen to keep him between him and the main Cloud ninja force, even if he wanted to stay behind alone, he wouldn't have the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, rather than saying he was staying behind, it was more like trading his life for theirs - the Third Raikage, with the tacit consent of Iwagakure, was using his own life to exchange for the chance for other Cloud ninjas to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Iwagakure wouldn't easily let those Cloud ninjas go and would definitely dispatch some people to pursue and kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now Seimei had to consider whether to stay here or follow the main Cloud ninja force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking for only half a second, Seimei made his decision. He crossed his hands, performed the Shadow Clone Technique, and created a shadow clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei looked at the shadow clone. Although he knew the clone understood what he wanted it to do, he still habitually instructed, \"I'll leave this place to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow clone simply responded, indicating its understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the shadow clone to wrap up this mission, Seimei didn't waste any more time and immediately chased in the direction the Cloud ninjas were escaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, he ultimately chose the other battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the one hand, it was more chaotic there, providing him with more opportunities to fish in troubled waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, he was afraid that if he stayed here, Iwagakure might take the opportunity to eliminate him along with the Third Raikage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was foreseeable that in the near future, to prevent the Third Raikage from breaking through, Iwagakure would definitely find a way to seal off this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, spies like them who couldn't be exposed would also be trapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, for his own safety, he chose to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1301,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","42d22d0411d583818b90de9a9468689bd8b0e8abdda8a4c6119352c17b8bf763","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-141","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-139",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
