His blood-red Sharingan stared at Ishida Shinsuke's every move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, based on this, he predicted the opponent's actions, took his position in advance, and continued to attack from the blind spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Ishida Shinsuke himself was not weak, under these circumstances, he could only passively defend, unable to utilize even 60-70% of his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also the reason why the survival rule \"When encountering a Uchiha ninja, in a one-on-one situation, flee immediately\" circulated in the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, it was because the Sharingan had too strong a restraint on ordinary ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the hypnotic ability alone was enough to give many ninjas a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, hypnosis was an inherent ability of the Sharingan, and it could be activated without any hand seals, and the process was completely silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the effect wasn't very strong, in intense battles, a moment of distraction was enough to be fatal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, many ninjas didn't dare to make prolonged eye contact when fighting against Uchiha ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, this would greatly reduce their combat effectiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, Uchiha ninjas could use the Sharingan's insight ability to anticipate the enemy's actions and further grasp the initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this ebb and flow, ordinary ninjas were naturally no match for Uchiha ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, all of the above was based on the premise that the strength difference wasn't too great, and the Uchiha ninja could skillfully use the Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a Jonin bullied a Genin who had just awakened the Sharingan, that was a different story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, if an Uchiha ninja couldn't skillfully use the Sharingan, the enemy wouldn't be afraid to make eye contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was obvious that neither of the above points applied to Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, compared to other Uchiha ninjas who used other tactics to complement the Sharingan, the 'Swordsmanship' that Seimei created by combining the 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' and the 'Uchiha-Style Kenjutsu' was undoubtedly more suitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This resulted in even greater suppression for his enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like now, in Ishida Shinsuke's eyes, there was only the short sword constantly thrusting from various tricky angles, and the corner of Seimei's clothes as he moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing else could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Ishida Shinsuke didn't dare to search for Seimei's whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because just a moment ago, he tried to confront Seimei head-on, but he was immediately caught in the genjutsu and almost had his throat pierced by Seimei's sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made him afraid to seek a head-on fight anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he also thought about running away, but Seimei didn't give him the chance. Relying on his superior 'Swordsmanship', Seimei stuck close to him in close combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the Sharingan's insight ability, whenever Ishida Shinsuke made a move, he could detect it in advance, and the opponent couldn't create any distance at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for forming hand seals to use ninjutsu...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was even more impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Seimei wouldn't give him the chance to form hand seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current 'Swordsmanship' and reaction speed, if the opponent dared to spend time forming hand seals, Seimei would dare to take him out with one sword strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beads of cold sweat slid down his cheeks. Ishida Shinsuke's senses were fully open, alert to any slight movement around him, ready to face Seimei's attack at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he felt like a fish in a net. The more he struggled, the tighter the net around him became, making it difficult for him to even breathe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Whoosh~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of air being pierced came, pulling Ishida Shinsuke's thoughts back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He almost instinctively judged the direction of the attack, and swung the kunai in his hand sideways, blocking Seimei's attack just in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'How many times has this been?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ishida Shinsuke pondered in his heart, and then thought to himself, \"Next, he should disappear into my blind spot and then attack again, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been like this for the past few minutes, and he was gradually getting used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, after suffering several injuries, he felt that he was slowly able to grasp Seimei's fighting rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps, if he persisted for a while longer, he would be able to find an opportunity to break free from Seimei's entanglement and completely escape the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While thinking, Ishida Shinsuke suddenly noticed a figure in front of him. When he saw the person's face, he was startled and immediately wanted to close his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique~'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Seimei completed the hand seals and cast this Sharingan genjutsu that he had already mastered to perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Ishida Shinsuke felt a piercing pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his body felt as if it was nailed by several giant iron stakes. Although his consciousness was clear, his body couldn't move at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, \"A prolonged defense will inevitably lead to a lapse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ishida Shinsuke had been on the defensive, only able to follow Seimei's fighting rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he gradually adapted to Seimei's rhythm as time passed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, the conditioned reflex formed under high pressure would also hinder his normal reactions to some extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when Seimei suddenly changed his tactics, he couldn't react in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the consequences?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like this now, Seimei decisively seized the opportunity and instantly defeated him with the 'Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ishida Shinsuke still didn't give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Seimei with his eyes wide open, his body trembling slightly, trying his best to break free from the control of the 'Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Seimei was still thinking about whether to keep him alive as a 'chakra battery', but seeing his performance and considering the current situation, he ultimately gave up with regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Puchi~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ishida Shinsuke felt his body relax, and he could move again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But immediately afterward, a sense of weakness washed over him. Ishida Shinsuke looked down and saw a familiar short sword already embedded in his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Ishida Shinsuke looked at Seimei one last time and struggled to utter two words: \"Ghost Sword!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ghost Sword?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei repeated these two words, inexplicably feeling that it suited him quite well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As of now, his 'Swordsmanship' combined with the Sharingan, when fighting against others, was indeed like a ghost, only the shadow could be seen, not the form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, it wasn't an exaggeration to call it \"Ghost Sword\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Seimei didn't know that in the coming months, the four words \"Ghost Sword Seimei\" would become his exclusive title, resounding throughout the Land of Rain battlefield, becoming a taboo known to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1317,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","b9a1ebea6c63b1310c0eefb56266e150510aaa131bac49774a0b3f381eb26ec3","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-157","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-155",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
