The Iwa ninja already had a numerical advantage. Who knew how many more would come if they continued to delay?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it was necessary to initiate the fight first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, before joining the battle, others would consider whether their actions would disrupt their comrades' rhythm, leading to hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was Seimei's opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he could seize the chance to eliminate one or two enemies, it would reduce the pressure for the subsequent battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei was certain that he would face more than just these two enemies later, so planning in advance was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These thoughts flashed through his mind. Seimei focused his attention and started dealing with the two in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Clang, clang, clang*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of clashes between kunai and short sword rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei continuously attacked with his sword, and the two kept blocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, it was hard to tell who had the upper hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was just an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these two, working together, could somewhat negate his Sharingan genjutsu, making it difficult for him to utilize his vision-blocking tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his Lv5, near-Lv6 Swordsmanship, wasn't just about blocking vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he went all out, even in a head-on fight, Seimei was confident he could kill both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that would require considerable effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei didn't want to waste that energy or time, so he pretended to be weak and maintained a stalemate with them for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, as long as he seized the opportunity, he could easily kill them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a certain moment, Seimei suddenly leaned back, avoiding a slash aimed at his throat by the Iwa Jonin in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he shifted his weight slightly to his left foot and fell to the right, dodging another Iwa Jonin's attack aimed at his heart from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their positions and movements, Seimei thought, \"Good opportunity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he activated his Sharingan to its full potential, instantly hypnotizing the Iwa Jonin in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the two on the field had been wary of his Sharingan all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the moment he hypnotized the Iwa Jonin in front, the other Iwa Jonin behind him noticed the anomaly and immediately launched continuous attacks on him without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His purpose...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was simple: to force Seimei to give up the chance to finish off his comrade and buy time for his teammate to break free from the genjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opportunity Seimei was waiting for wasn't now, so after some struggle, he gave up the chance to land the final blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the Iwa Jonin behind him breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the hypnotized Iwa Jonin woke up. The first thing he saw was Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Seimei also happened to look over. The moment he made eye contact with his Sharingan, the Iwa Jonin instinctively looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was the opportunity Seimei had been waiting for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost as soon as the Iwa Jonin looked away, Seimei fully activated his Sharingan and cast the genjutsu again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this time, his target wasn't him, but the Iwa Jonin he was fighting against.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, this Jonin froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the Iwa Jonin who had just looked away in the distance realized his mistake and quickly refocused his gaze on Seimei, throwing his kunai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before he shifted his gaze back, Seimei had finished his attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Pierce*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of a blade piercing flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's short sword pierced through the chest of the Iwa Jonin in front of him, reaching his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this fatal blow, the Iwa Jonin in front of him instantly woke up from the hypnosis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down at the short sword embedded in his chest, then looked up at his comrade not far away, his eyes filled with confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he couldn't help but vomit a large mouthful of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei flickered, avoiding the blood, and pulled out his short sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the support of the sword, the Iwa Jonin stumbled a few steps and finally collapsed to the ground, lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, if it were a normal fight, he wouldn't have died so easily by his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was that, to buy time for his comrade, his attacks were too aggressive, leaving him completely defenseless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were all, it would still be fine. As long as his comrade woke up and assisted in time, they wouldn't be afraid of Seimei's counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what happened?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His comrade did wake up, but instead of helping him immediately, he looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, in a way, it was the miscoordination between the two of them that gave Seimei this opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Seimei had anticipated such a mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was the one who orchestrated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the previous \"back-and-forth\" battle, Seimei had been silently observing the two Iwa Jonin's reactions to various situations and their fighting habits through his Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he keenly noticed that one of the Iwa Jonin was particularly afraid of his Sharingan and would often unconsciously look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he used this to his advantage, creating an opportunity and setting a trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was everything that had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei consecutively dodged the attacks of the two, confirming that this was the opportunity he was looking for, and decisively used his Sharingan's ability to cast the genjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he hypnotized the Iwa Jonin who was deeply afraid of him, making him experience the power of the Sharingan even more profoundly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This further deepened his fear of the Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, when he woke up, Seimei appeared in the right position, using this fear to put pressure on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, driven by this pressure, he made the instinctive choice to look away and protect himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this put his comrade, who was waiting for his support, in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he reacted in time and tried to make up for it, the opportunity had been missed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei decisively seized the chance, went all out, and instantly killed one of them, achieving his goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1252,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","04c518ff8b1b68bc3f48fe3f7c13d1467dad4eba4bc45f4d89f7a32d2bc7d848","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-195","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-193",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
