Perhaps slightly stronger than ordinary Jonin, but far from reaching the elite level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Seimei had no qualms and charged straight at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him approach, the two Mist Jonin's hearts skipped a beat, realizing they seemed to have fallen for a trap. But the arrow was already on the bowstring, they had to release it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, they could only brace themselves and face him head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing this, a relaxed smile appeared on Seimei's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was proceeding according to his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Seimei swiftly drew several kunai from his ninja tool pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his Sharingan spun, instantly locking onto the two's movement trajectories and making certain predictions before throwing the kunai in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh whoosh whoosh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kunai sliced through the air, carrying a faint killing intent, and shot towards the two Mist Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they were about to dodge, they suddenly felt a sense of danger and quickly changed their instinctive choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump thump thump~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several kunai embedded themselves in the nearby tree trunks, causing the two Mist Jonin's expressions to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The direction where the kunai landed was precisely where they had instinctively intended to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they hadn't reacted in time and sensed the danger, immediately altering their evasion direction, they would likely be in a sorry state now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, Seimei witnessed this scene with some disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was merely some disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had anticipated this outcome. After all, they were two Jonin, it was impossible for them to be easily killed by his kunai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they hadn't reacted in time just now, at most they would have been somewhat disheveled, not injured or killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that it cost him a chance for a combo attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was just an attempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it didn't succeed, let's settle this with our skills!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kunai and short sword clashed, producing a clear metallic sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides exerted force simultaneously, sparks flew, and the friction between the kunai and short sword emitted a harsh \"ding!\" sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the other Mist Jonin stepped forward and attacked Seimei from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the danger, Seimei abandoned the struggle, tapped his feet on the ground, and retreated backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the Mist Jonin who had just clashed with him head-on seized the opportunity and pressed forward, attempting to completely suppress Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang clang clang~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kunai and short sword clashed repeatedly, creating a series of sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei, facing two opponents, continuously retreated, seemingly having no room to fight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another collision, Seimei abruptly widened the distance and swiftly retreated backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Witnessing this, the Mist Jonin who had first engaged him didn't hesitate and immediately closed in, pursuing Seimei just like before, preventing him from creating distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a distance, it looked as if the two were moving in sync.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, Seimei suddenly raised his left hand and completed the hand seals for the 'Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique' at an extremely fast speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he opened his mouth and spat out a fist-sized fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately afterward, this fireball rapidly expanded and hurtled towards the Mist Jonin in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's move seemed intended to catch the opponent off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, facing this sudden attack, the Mist Jonin didn't panic at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, a mocking smile even appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He abruptly stopped, kicked off the ground with his right foot, and dodged sideways, skillfully evading the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, the other Mist Jonin seized the opportunity and lunged at Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by their smooth movements, it was clear they had anticipated Seimei's counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And indeed, that was the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they hadn't fought Seimei before, they had been observing his battle with Kaguya and were already familiar with some of his techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, they had anticipated his counterattack method early on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the two played along, one responsible for luring Seimei into attacking, while the other took advantage of this opportunity to launch an assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, facing this sudden attack, Seimei also remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He abruptly turned his head, looked at the attacker, and his three-tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly, instantly releasing the 'Genjutsu: Sharingan'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the abnormality, this Mist Jonin inwardly exclaimed, \"Not good!\" While leaping backward, he immediately averted his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment their gazes met, Seimei had successfully cast the 'Genjutsu: Sharingan'. Although it was just a momentary cast with average power, it was enough to control the opponent for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the Mist Jonin, after retreating a few steps, suddenly froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing this opportunity, Seimei took out several shuriken and swiftly threw them, aiming for the vital points around this Mist Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this was a counter-counter-attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh whoosh whoosh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shuriken traversed several meters, seemingly about to hit the Mist Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, several other shuriken suddenly shot from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a few \"clang clang clang\" sounds were heard, and the shuriken thrown by Seimei were all knocked down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei looked towards the direction from which those shuriken came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mist Jonin who had just dodged his 'Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique' attack flashed and blocked in front of the other Mist Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sides faced off, and the battle returned to the starting line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1280,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","dade5465645cccc26d1f84452bbd6763d36a58df95774bfdda15c957e324c974","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-286","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-284",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
