They had obviously cooperated many times and had a good chance of success against ordinary Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei was different; he was not an ordinary Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the three cooperated well, there were flaws, at least in his eyes, they were not perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei dodged the kunai thrust from the Iwa-nin in front of him. Although the scythe-wielding Iwa-nin immediately stepped in to fill the gap, it still gave him time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was enough for him to launch a counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, Seimei instantly activated the Sharingan's hypnotic ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scythe-wielding Iwa-nin, relying on his companion, had never avoided Seimei's gaze and was immediately caught in the genjutsu, freezing in place, briefly losing focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dairo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kunai-wielding Iwa-nin noticed the abnormality and, with a low shout, flashed in front of Sugimura Dairo, blocking Seimei's short sword for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Seimei could launch a second attack, the Iwa-nin Jonin in the distance, acting as a backup, had already thrown several shuriken, aiming at Seimei's vital points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the subtle whistling sound, Seimei smiled slightly, pushed off the ground, and suddenly retreated, avoiding the incoming shuriken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he flipped his hand, and several shuriken appeared in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei glanced at the distant Iwa-nin Jonin, instantly judged his movement, and then threw the shuriken in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, regardless of the result, he made a few more backward leaps, once again creating some distance between himself and the two Iwa-nin Jonin in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Sugimura Dairo had just recovered from his daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what greeted his eyes was a giant fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out that during his retreat, Seimei had already completed the hand seals and unleashed the signature ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan - Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this time he used 300 chakra points, creating a fireball nearly three meters in diameter with an extremely high temperature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even from a distance, Sugimura Dairo could feel the intense heat emanating from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he was about to be engulfed by the fireball, Sugimura Dairo didn't show much fear on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that he wasn't afraid of death, but in front of him, the kunai-wielding Iwa-nin Jonin had already responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw him quickly complete the hand seals with both hands and then slap the ground, using the ninjutsu - Earth Style: Earth Shore Return!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground in front of them flipped, and a stone slab about two meters long suddenly stood up, blocking the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Boom~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireball hit the stone slab, causing a violent explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately afterward, flames surged from the edges of the stone slab, bringing a terrifying heat that made the two people behind it feel a burning pain on their cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Crack~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the sound of something cracking came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Iwa-nin looked in the direction of the sound and saw a thin crack appear on the stone slab in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Crack, crack~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two more cracks appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the two of them changed their expressions and jumped back together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment they left, the stone slab exploded, turning into countless stones, carrying blazing flames, and smashing in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sugimura Dairo and the other Iwa-nin flickered, avoiding the flying stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, their clothes were burned with several large holes, making them look somewhat disheveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei looked at the two of them, raised his hands, and was about to press his advantage and continue attacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, a slight tremor came from under his feet. Seimei didn't even think, immediately jumping backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a sharp rock spike, a full one and a half meters long, suddenly emerged from the place where he had been standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Earth Spear?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei instantly recognized this signature ninjutsu of Iwagakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he glanced around and saw the Iwa-nin Jonin in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the opponent's hands were pressing on the ground, his eyes fixed on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, this \"Earth Style: Earth Spear\" technique was cast by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'If that's the case, then there's definitely more than just this one.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei was thinking this when the familiar tremor came from under his feet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately retreated, and another rock spike, almost identical to the previous one, emerged from the ground, piercing through the spot where he had just been standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was just the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next few breaths, Seimei continuously flickered, avoiding nearly a hundred rock spikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The later these rock spikes appeared, the faster they emerged, and the less noticeable the prior movement was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Seimei didn't have the Three-Tomoe Sharingan with its amazing insight, he might not have been able to avoid them so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the movement underground disappear, Seimei murmured, \"Is it over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced around, and the original forest had turned into a stone forest, with sharp rock spikes everywhere, making one's scalp tingle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the Iwa-nin Jonin in the distance, his face looked a bit unsightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, he wasn't very satisfied with the result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1117,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","80b751f426dbb1602265fe291ab1801e94894beb807b877cafd78d8245b6c2aa","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-161","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-159",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
