However, when separated, they were relatively average.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the shadow clones Seimei created, in terms of close combat ability alone, were no weaker than ordinary Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, after a period of entanglement, all three felt the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they began to unanimously look for opportunities, attempting to defeat Seimei's shadow clones with minimal cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two shadow clones inherited Seimei's memories and naturally knew his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, after sensing the Iwa-nin Jonin's intentions, they immediately made changes, deliberately revealing some subtle flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't make it too obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, people tend to believe their own judgment, and they would become suspicious of answers that came too easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, when the Iwa-nin Jonin, who was one of the main attackers before, seized that fleeting opportunity, he almost didn't hesitate and immediately launched an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To cooperate, the shadow clone fighting him changed his expression drastically, quickly retracting the short sword he was about to thrust out, barely blocking the Iwa-nin Jonin's attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this also caused the sword, which should have inflicted a more severe wound, to only graze the opponent's skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iwa-nin Jonin glanced at his wound, becoming even more convinced of his judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he no longer hesitated and began to attack with all his might, while the shadow clone could only passively block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, the other two Iwa-nin Jonin thought that Seimei's real body had been found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, they also increased the intensity of their attacks, attempting to defeat Seimei's shadow clones and then assist their teammate in besieging and killing Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was this slight change that gave Seimei an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Whoosh~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The short sword in his hand thrust out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sugimura Dairo's pupils contracted. He felt that Seimei's sword was countless times faster than before, and he couldn't block it in time, only able to quickly dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Slash~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of a blade cutting through flesh rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's short sword left a shallow wound on Sugimura Dairo's arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sugimura Dairo didn't have time to check his injury because Seimei's second attack had already arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Seimei twist his wrist, the short sword changing from a thrust to a slash, aiming directly at the carotid artery in Sugimura Dairo's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the danger, Sugimura Dairo quickly crouched down to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few strands of hair fell as Seimei's sword missed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he wasn't disappointed because he had already seized the initiative in the battle, and there would be plenty of opportunities later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei swung his sword again and again. Sugimura Dairo was a step behind, then another step behind, completely overwhelmed by Seimei's pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two also noticed the commotion here and instantly realized they had been tricked. They attacked the shadow clones even more fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the shadow clones, contrary to their usual behavior, no longer sought to actively attack but instead dodged with all their might, entangling their opponents and preventing them from escaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed second by second. Finally, when Seimei thrust out his sword again, Sugimura Dairo couldn't react in time and his shoulder was pierced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, their eyes met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the genjutsu activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sugimura Dairo felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him, his eyelids fighting uncontrollably, making him desperately want to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I can't sleep!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Sugimura Dairo gritted his teeth and bit his tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drops of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. With the sharp pain as a stimulus, Sugimura Dairo finally broke free from the genjutsu and gradually regained consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he woke up, a small palm appeared before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Sugimura Dairo could react, Seimei slapped his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a powerful suction force came from Seimei's palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chakra in Sugimura Dairo's body flowed rapidly through his meridians, converging towards his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, through the chakra points in Seimei's palm, it entered his body and was ultimately converted into his own chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Seimei was using the Chakra Absorption Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sugimura Dairo felt the chakra in his body rapidly draining away like water released from a dam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a feeling of weakness spread through his body, making him unable to muster any strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Sugimura Dairo could still struggle a bit, but within a few breaths, he completely lost the ability to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the abundance of chakra within him, Seimei moved his hand down and gripped the opponent's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Crack~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp sound of bone breaking echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sugimura Dairo's head tilted to one side, and he gradually lost his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Sugimura Dairo's corpse, Seimei let out a slight sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn't achieve an instant kill on Sugimura Dairo as planned this time, it didn't take too long either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the extra time spent allowed him to gain over 10,000 chakra points for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, overall, it was acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just because he could accept it didn't mean the other two Iwa-nin Jonin could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they weren't blood-related to Sugimura Dairo, they had cooperated for so long and had developed some feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Sugimura Dairo suddenly died like this; how could they accept it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was also their worry about their own fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, they really should be worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because right after killing Sugimura Dairo, Seimei relentlessly launched an attack on another Iwa-nin Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, dealing with one shadow clone was already tough enough for him. Now, with Seimei added to the mix, the outcome was self-evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few minutes, Seimei completed the kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, although the opponent desperately fought back, in the end, he only managed to take down the shadow clone and couldn't inflict any damage on Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the third person...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Seimei could make a move on him, he defeated the shadow clone and tried to support his teammates, only to be entangled by two Konoha Chunin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, two Konoha Chunin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two were sharp-eyed. Seeing Seimei busy dealing with another Iwa-nin Jonin, they decisively took action and intercepted the Iwa-nin Jonin who had just broken free from the shadow clone's entanglement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What happened next was simple. After Seimei finished off the second Iwa-nin Jonin, he joined the fight and quickly dealt with this one as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, with just one misjudgment, the three Iwa-nin Jonin perished one after another, truly proving the saying - details determine success or failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, this also illustrated the cruelty of battles between ninjas. Often, a tiny mistake could decide the outcome of the entire fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this had a prerequisite: both sides in the battle belonged to the category of \"humans.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ninjas who surpassed the realm of ordinary people, like Uchiha Madara, Senju Hashirama, and later Naruto and Sasuke, this logic didn't apply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For them, the amount of chakra and the strength of their ultimate moves were the key factors in determining victory or defeat. Minor flaws in battle were simply not important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like when Uchiha Madara fought Might Guy, he was a bit arrogant at the beginning and was seized upon by Might Guy, receiving a brutal beating and almost dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the result?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recovered quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, for them, a small mistake was still acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...That's it for today.\u003C\u002Fp>",1248,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","57b36c1731694c1ad2c3ea31e84c2e9cde5454e6a7de1f0493ee6ea6da6e3df2","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-163","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-161",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
