With a push of his palm, it flew straight towards Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han didn't dodge or evade, continuing his charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind blade sliced through his body, causing ripples on the dark red chakra layer covering him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His speed slowed slightly, but he wasn't injured at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected, it's not enough,\" Seimei murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the Wind Style: Wind Blade had the potential to harm Han, but his current proficiency was only Lv1, making it unlikely to injure him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei activated his Sharingan to its full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, an indescribable mental pressure enveloped the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling this mental force, Han unconsciously slowed down, looking at Seimei warily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Seimei ignored his wariness. The moment their eyes met, he cast a genjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was due to the influence of the tailed beast's will or something else, Han didn't immediately shield his vision, causing him to fall into a trance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Roar*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with a roar from the Five-Tails, Han instantly snapped out of the genjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although only perfect jinchuriki could have their tailed beasts help them dispel genjutsu, Han was currently in a semi-transformed state, with the tailed beast's will constantly eroding his mind. Naturally, it could also help him resist the influence of genjutsu to some extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Seimei had only used the Sharingan's inherent hypnotic ability, not a true genjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it was easily broken free from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Seimei didn't mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never expected to subdue Han so easily. All he needed was this brief opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Han broke free from the genjutsu and made eye contact with Seimei, he froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Han felt as if his body was nailed to the ground by giant iron spikes, unable to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, Seimei had seized the moment Han was in a trance to cast the Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike ordinary genjutsu, those affected by the Shackling Stakes Technique were clearly aware that they were under a genjutsu but found it difficult to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, even though the Five-Tails could help Han to some extent, it couldn't instantly break him free from the genjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, Seimei could wait for the other Konoha Jonin to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal was simply to delay Han until the other Konoha Jonin appeared. He never intended to stop Han alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention whether he could do it or not, even if he could, he wouldn't, because that would be too conspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be safe, it was best to wait for the other Konoha Jonin to arrive and stop Han together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for their location?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren't far from here. His confrontation with Han, although seemingly long, had only lasted for a few seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In those few seconds, they should have arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Seimei was thinking this, several figures emerged from the dense forest and entered the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw Han standing motionless and Seimei's Sharingan focused on him, immediately understanding the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, they all attacked Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their division of labor was clear. Two of them used restrictive ninjutsu to prevent Han from abandoning them again to target the main force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three others formed hand seals simultaneously, preparing to use offensive ninjutsu to try to break through Han's Tailed Beast Cloak and injure him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last one rapidly threw ninja tools and wires, physically restricting Han's movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei saw countless explosive tags on the wires and kunai, clearly planning a massive attack on Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han also sensed the danger. Although the Tailed Beast Cloak could ignore many attacks, he couldn't just stand there and let them attack him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with strong defense, it could still be breached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the danger, Han no longer hesitated. He let down his resistance to the tailed beast's will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, an even denser tailed beast chakra emerged from his body, and the two tails behind him quickly transformed into three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A more violent aura followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roared and struggled frantically. Seimei felt a sharp pain in his eyes, and the Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique was forcibly broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trail of blood and tears flowed from the corners of Seimei's eyes. Seeing this, the other Konoha Jonin quickly asked, \"Seimei, are you alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei took two steps back, covering his eyes. \"I'm fine. Be careful!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, even without Seimei's reminder, these Konoha Jonin wouldn't dare to be careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had already been on the defensive when fighting Han before. Now that he was in this state, clearly even stronger than before, how could they let their guard down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, things didn't develop as they expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han's tails had increased from two to three, and his aura had indeed surged. But correspondingly, his rationality was rapidly declining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Seimei and the others' goal was only to contain him here, not to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, with him losing his rationality, their task became even simpler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, dealing with a wild beast was much easier than dealing with a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although tailed beasts possessed intelligence no less than humans, after being sealed for so long, their first reaction was to destroy everything around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the Konoha Jonin only needed to take turns attacking to keep Han's attention focused on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few more minutes went by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iwa ninja seemed to have sensed something was wrong and sent people to check the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Han was completely irrational now. Seeing the Iwa ninja approaching, he didn't hold back at all, attacking them along with the Konoha ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene became chaotic, with Konoha ninja, Iwa ninja, and the semi-transformed Han all attacking each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei and the others finally received new orders. The main force had regrouped and created some distance from the Iwa ninja. They were to seize the opportunity and retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei and the others exchanged glances, then covered each other and quickly disengaged from the battle, heading in the direction the main force had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iwa ninja wanted to pursue, but after Seimei used Genjutsu: Sharingan to control one of them, causing him to be severely injured by Han, no one dared to chase them anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Seimei and the others successfully left the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1112,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","f336f5706cc2a106cf18c452e518e9e2569631f6a669c0d79b47c99722a8906f","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-184","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-182",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
