After a brief thought, he understood the opponent's intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned the surroundings and saw that the Iwa ninja still held the advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Konoha teams were continuously arriving, due to their staggered arrival times, the Iwa ninja still outnumbered them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the fact that they were all elites this time, the Konoha ninja's casualty rate remained higher than the Iwa's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, enemy reinforcements were almost inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could even see an Iwa Jonin noticing their fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'No, I can't give them a chance to stall for time.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Seimei stopped holding back and launched a full-on attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the pressure on Aikawasuke increased dramatically, and the sound of metal clashing filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aikawasuke, wielding his kunai, continuously blocked attacks from his blind spots. Despite his efforts, he couldn't avoid getting injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Seimei went all out, in just a dozen moves, Aikawasuke had two more wounds on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the wounds weren't large, they still had some impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei used this slight advantage to further widen the gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might not have been able to be so meticulous before, but after his Swordsmanship leveled up from Lv5 to Lv6, enhancing his control over details, he could now do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was far from enough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were no one else around, Seimei would be happy to wear down his opponent this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with the possibility of enemy reinforcements at any time, wasting time would be foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Seimei seized an opportunity. The moment Aikawasuke blocked his attack again, he decisively used the A-rank ninjutsu - Rasengan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past month, his Rasengan had leveled up from Lv3 to Lv4, and his proficiency had further improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost instantly, he condensed a high-density chakra sphere in his left palm and pressed it towards Aikawasuke's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, an indescribable sense of crisis washed over Aikawasuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't have time to think. He instinctively converted chakra within his body into Lightning Release chakra and channeled it into his legs in an almost brute-force manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Crackle*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aikawasuke's leg muscles and nerve reactions were greatly enhanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the critical moment, he lunged forward, avoiding the Rasengan attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be more precise, he avoided part of the attack. The Rasengan in Seimei's palm still grazed his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the clothes on his back were shredded by the rotating force, revealing an ugly, twisted wound on his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aikawasuke couldn't help but groan. He endured the pain, got up, and dodged Seimei's sword strike from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, Seimei's attacks hadn't stopped; they had even become fiercer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Clang, clang, clang*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, Seimei launched several sword strikes, attacking Aikawasuke from different directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aikawasuke struggled to resist, but due to his injuries, he revealed an opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Slash*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of a blade cutting through flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's sword pierced Aikawasuke's left side, just above his waist, leaving a deep wound that exposed bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for such a strange wound was simple. His sword was originally aimed at Aikawasuke's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the critical moment, Aikawasuke reacted and dodged, causing his attack to miss its mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It couldn't be considered a complete miss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although this sword strike didn't hit Aikawasuke's heart, the resulting injury was still very serious, almost reducing his combat power by 20%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was enough to take his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei moved like a ghost, constantly attacking Aikawasuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aikawasuke, ignoring the damage Lightning Release was causing to his body, forcibly stimulated his nerves and muscles to keep up with Seimei's speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But stimulation was just stimulation; it couldn't last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After just three minutes, Aikawasuke couldn't hold on any longer. The lightning glow on his body dimmed, and his speed plummeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Seimei's eyes lit up. He instantly thrust his short sword, and with a *pierce*, the blade penetrated Aikawasuke's lower back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aikawasuke couldn't endure the intense pain and cried out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei ignored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his left hand, focused his mind, and once again used the hand seal-less ninjutsu - Rasengan, condensing a high-density chakra sphere in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he pressed it directly towards Aikawasuke's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this critical moment, a shout suddenly came from not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei frowned, glancing in the direction of the voice. He saw a middle-aged Iwa Jonin rapidly approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And before him were three shuriken flying straight towards Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he chose to continue attacking Aikawasuke, he could at most avoid two of them. But if he gave up the attack, he could avoid all of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering there were still battles ahead, Seimei didn't want to get injured unnecessarily, so he decisively gave up the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wouldn't let Aikawasuke off so easily either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he retreated, he swiftly pulled out his short sword and slashed, leaving a long gash on Aikawasuke's waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this injury, coupled with the previous penetrating wound and the other wounds Seimei had inflicted earlier, Aikawasuke had basically lost his combat ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei was still not satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he retreated, he took out a kunai with an explosive tag from his ninja pouch and threw it at Aikawasuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the middle-aged Iwa Jonin cursed inwardly, \"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He accelerated, flashed to Aikawasuke's side, and grabbed him before the kunai could hit, moving them away from the original spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Boom*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames and smoke erupted, and a shockwave spread, knocking both the middle-aged Iwa Jonin and Aikawasuke to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei, who was prepared, dodged the shockwave and immediately launched an attack towards where he remembered Aikawasuke and the middle-aged Jonin were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He formed hand seals and swiftly used the Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Boom*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireball detonated, clearing the dust in the surrounding area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei waved his hand to disperse the dust in front of him and looked towards the spot where the fireball had exploded. However, he didn't see the middle-aged Iwa Jonin and Aikawasuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, they had escaped in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Seimei was about to search for their traces, several kunai suddenly shot from the side, aiming for his vital points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei turned his head, the tomoe in his Sharingan spinning rapidly. He instantly locked onto the trajectories of these kunai and also saw the person who had thrown them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than the middle-aged Iwa Jonin who had rescued Aikawasuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was hiding behind a tree, looking a bit disheveled but otherwise unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, his surprise attack just now hadn't injured him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's gaze shifted slightly, observing the chakra within his body. It was undoubtedly Jonin level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering that he had already gone through more than one battle, his true strength should surpass that of an average Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was consistent with the abilities he had just displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1154,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","0672d8d540a6d46d58cc2ae841c53dfd88b61007ab05cb0076ad30245eff61b7","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-201","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-199",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
