He continued to advance, eliminating every Iwa ninja he encountered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, no one noticed him. But after he consecutively killed over twenty Iwa Chunin and Genin, he finally caught their attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, his opponents became the two Jonin before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been fighting for nearly three minutes now. Although Seimei's left arm was injured, it didn't affect his swordsmanship in close combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, these two couldn't overcome him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as the battle progressed, he had grasped their fighting habits and strengths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided not to waste any more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Seimei suddenly abandoned all unnecessary defense and launched a full-on offensive, focusing his attacks on the weaker of the two, a special Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, only one of these two Iwa Jonin was a true Jonin with well-rounded abilities. The other was a special Jonin specializing in assassination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei focused on this special Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was indeed skilled in assassination, but this was a head-on battle. The Three-Tomoe Sharingan's powerful insight allowed Seimei to see through any deceptive moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly found an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dodging the attack from the other Iwa Jonin, Seimei appeared before the special Jonin and thrust his short sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the special Jonin's eyes lit up. Instead of retreating, he twisted his body, skillfully avoiding Seimei's attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he swung his kunai, aiming for Seimei's throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei couldn't retract his sword to block in time and had to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this dodge would inevitably cost him the initiative he had just gained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Iwa Jonin would then follow up with an attack, temporarily suppressing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that situation, as long as the special Jonin capitalized on his strengths and launched a timely attack, he could pose a threat to Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they couldn't kill him, they could at least completely suppress him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admittedly, their plan was sound. If things went according to their expectations, they could indeed cause Seimei significant trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the premise was that this opportunity was something they actively created, not something Seimei deliberately offered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the latter was the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason the special Jonin had this counterattack opportunity was that Seimei intentionally lured him into making a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since he dared to do this, he naturally wasn't afraid of their scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he didn't immediately reveal anything unusual. Instead, he dodged as they had anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned back slightly, avoiding the special Jonin's swift strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, if things were going according to plan, Mishima Kazuki should have been happy. But the reality was the opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he felt an unprecedented fear instead of joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Why?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mishima Kazuki stared at Seimei's unchanged expression, his mind racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of Seimei's casual dodge and decisive action, he felt a sense of dissonance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that situation, anyone would instinctively try to block first and only dodge if blocking was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He showed no intention of blocking at all and directly chose to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how strong the Sharingan's insight was, the body's instincts couldn't lie. At that moment, Seimei indeed had no intention of retracting his sword to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, he had never planned to block from the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this would undoubtedly put him in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, as if realizing something, Mishima Kazuki thought, \"Oh no,\" and was about to warn his teammate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, a sense of crisis washed over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Seimei extend his left hand and press a pale blue sphere against his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Thud*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp pain hit him, and Mishima Kazuki couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, he was sent flying by the Rasengan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Seimei's plan. He deliberately \"made a mistake\" to create an opportunity for the enemy, then used the information asymmetry to counterattack and secure victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the beginning of the battle, he had rarely used his left arm. Coupled with the bandage, he subtly created the illusion that his left arm was severely injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this alone wasn't enough. The two opponents were Jonin after all; they wouldn't completely let their guard down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was his Rasengan. As a jutsu without hand seals, its concealment was unquestionable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combination of these two factors allowed him to catch them off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, even if Mishima Kazuki fell for it, he could still have avoided the counterattack. He wouldn't have been severely injured like this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Putting those thoughts aside, Seimei stopped paying attention to the fallen Mishima Kazuki and focused on the other Iwa Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Jonin wasn't frightened by Mishima Kazuki's惨状. Instead, to protect his comrade, he unhesitatingly attacked Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as Mishima Kazuki had predicted, because of his dodging movement, Seimei lost the initiative and was suppressed by the Iwa Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Mishima Kazuki was severely injured and couldn't assist in the attack, so this situation didn't last long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Seimei found an opportunity and regained the initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with one less enemy, his offense became even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, the Iwa Jonin could only defend passively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a prolonged defense inevitably leads to mistakes. Just a few minutes later, he had several new wounds, and Seimei's attacks became increasingly fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was about to collapse, another Iwa Jonin joined the fight, working together to resist Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei scanned the battlefield. The number of Iwa ninja was almost two or three times that of Konoha. Although the Jonin-level combat power couldn't have such a big difference, it was still at least 1.5 times greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the several Konoha Jonin held back by Han, the Iwa side clearly had more Jonin available to provide support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why someone was able to come to the rescue in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's current strength was limited, and he couldn't decide the overall situation, so he could only adapt and continue to entangle with these two Iwa Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few more minutes went by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei, in the midst of battle, suddenly sensed some commotion on the outskirts of the battlefield, as if something was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Yamanaka Tokikaze's voice echoed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attention everyone, our reinforcements have arrived. Everyone, gather with the nearest Jonin and break through towards the northwest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Seimei suddenly understood. It was the reinforcements from Tiger Mountain camp. No wonder there was a commotion on the battlefield's outskirts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, they could attempt a breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Seimei stopped entangling with the two Iwa Jonin, found an opportunity to disengage, and headed northwest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, the Konoha Chunin and Genin, seeing him, immediately gathered around him, quickly forming a small team and heading northwest together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only him, but other Jonin also did the same, taking the lead and guiding groups of Konoha ninja towards the designated direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Iwa ninja weren't fools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, they were caught off guard by the sudden and organized actions of the Konoha ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, they understood Konoha's intentions and immediately organized their forces to try to stop the main force's retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fighting on the battlefield intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Konoha ninja wanted to leave, but the Iwa ninja wouldn't allow it. Both sides fought desperately, throwing ninja tools and explosive tags as if they were worthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, because both sides' ninja were relatively concentrated, the Jonin on both sides started using large-scale offensive ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the clashes even more intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1295,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","ab3baa289513ede3661c593320688eb898e9dbb1833d60df0acbabd5de6fedb9","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-182","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-180",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
