Although the wind blade was incredibly fast, he easily dodged it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he had observed Koharu Shuji's hand seals and chakra manipulation. And he had just awakened his Wind Style chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This provided the foundation for replication.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't interested in other ninjutsu, but this jutsu, at least B-rank, piqued his interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had already set his sights on the S-rank Wind Style: Rasenshuriken as his offensive Wind Style jutsu, it didn't hurt to learn another one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, having more skills was never a bad thing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, developing the Rasenshuriken would take considerable time. This Wind Style jutsu could fill the gap in the meantime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This jutsu had a long range, decent power, and excellent speed, making it a valuable addition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei wouldn't miss this opportunity. He activated his Sharingan's copying ability and replicated the jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While dodging the wind blade, he glanced at his status panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, a new jutsu had appeared in his skill list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, its proficiency had skipped the Lv0 \"uninitiated\" level and directly reached Lv1 (1\u002F200) \"beginner\" level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant he could now use this jutsu, although it might not be very proficient yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time Seimei had tried using the Sharingan's copying ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How should he describe it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt quite amazing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he had instantly seen through the entire process of the jutsu's execution and copied it into his own body, allowing him to reproduce it to some extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He guessed the reason it was only at the beginner level was because his understanding of Wind Style jutsu was still shallow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, he hadn't mastered the shape and nature transformation of Wind Style chakra yet, so this was the best he could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he improved in those aspects, the proficiency of copied jutsu might directly jump to Lv2 or Lv3, or even Lv4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, it definitely wouldn't be low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only surprise was that the copied jutsu had no name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, there was only a string of garbled code in front of the proficiency level, not the jutsu's name. It seemed that because he didn't know the name of the jutsu, it wasn't displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this wasn't bad news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, it meant that the information on the panel was based on his own knowledge and wouldn't randomly display things he didn't understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting these thoughts aside, Seimei named the jutsu \"Wind Style: Wind Blade\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The garbled code on the panel flickered and changed to [Wind Style: Wind Blade: Lv1 (1\u002F200)].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After doing this, Seimei closed the panel and looked at Koharu Shuji again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koharu Shuji was still maintaining the posture of releasing the jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything that had just happened occurred in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his fully evolved Three-Tomoe Sharingan at full power, Seimei's reaction speed was several times that of an ordinary person. Naturally, he could think about many things in a very short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koharu Shuji, unaware that his jutsu had been secretly copied by Seimei, was still anxiously looking at the creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei wouldn't miss such an opportunity. After dodging the second round of attacks, he dashed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he used the Sharingan's hypnotic ability to force Koharu Shuji to look away, then swung his sword at his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, no matter how worried Koharu Shuji was about the creature, he had to deal with Seimei's attack with all his might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after the previous battles, Seimei had already figured out his habits and fighting style, and his attacks were now incredibly fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Seimei's left arm was injured, it didn't affect his swordsmanship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Koharu Shuji's previous waist injury had impacted his movements, and his strength had significantly decreased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, without the creature's interference, Seimei could focus entirely on the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he quickly gained the upper hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, Koharu Shuji could only defend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the principle that \"a prolonged defense will inevitably lead to mistakes\" applied everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the subsequent fight, despite Koharu Shuji's efforts, he couldn't avoid getting more and more injured, and his condition worsened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, when he was once again dealing with an attack from Seimei's blind spot, he was a step too slow. Seimei seized the opportunity and pierced his lower back with his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koharu Shuji groaned, glancing back to see Seimei standing calmly behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Tsk*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei pulled out his short sword without hesitation and was about to strike again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, Koharu Shuji suddenly shouted and turned around, thrusting his kunai at Seimei's neck with a reverse grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he was trying to take Seimei down with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Seimei didn't dodge. He retracted his sword and precisely blocked Koharu Shuji's kunai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, Koharu Shuji had two choices now. One was to continue his attack and try to injure or even kill Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was to retreat immediately and protect himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he did neither. Instead, he grabbed at Seimei with a狞笑: \"Let's die together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sizzling sound came from his chest as several explosive tags ignited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, these weren't attached just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before turning around, he had already prepared a second suicidal move, attaching explosive tags to his chest and activating them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At such a close distance, even if the explosive tags weren't on Seimei, the explosion would be enough to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, facing such a crisis, Seimei's face remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Koharu Shuji's actions were subtle and done with his back to Seimei, Seimei had sensed them early on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he be so easily tricked?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Koharu Shuji's hand could touch him, Seimei pressed his left hand onto his abdomen, and the Rasengan in his palm instantly erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koharu Shuji felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and vomited a mouthful of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his entire body was sent flying backward like a windmill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koharu Shuji cried out in despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, his voice was drowned out by a series of explosions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crimson flames rose, instantly engulfing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Boom*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Koharu Shuji landed again, he had been reduced to a charred and disfigured corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His revenge fulfilled, Seimei stood silently, feeling a sense of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, there were only a few people and things he cared about. Now that one of them was settled, he naturally felt lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's all for today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1193,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","3cc9d8448900522ee25962cdbb32c54ec7b8dc1db11fe1d68d7bcafc27fe33c0","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-179","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-177",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
