It also involved spitting out a highly penetrating water stream from the mouth to attack the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unlike the 'Water Release: Water Severing Wave', it lacked continuity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, Seimei easily dodged it with the powerful insight provided by his three-tomoe Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before he could counterattack, Terumi Mei formed seals again and performed the 'Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, she intended to replicate the battle against his shadow clone, using large-scale and continuous attacks to force him to keep dodging, thus revealing an opening, and ultimately delivering a fatal blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could he, with the shadow clone's memories, fall for her plan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the reason why the shadow clone didn't dare to fight her head-on was, firstly, that the Chakra within the shadow clone was indeed somewhat insufficient and couldn't outlast her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, even though his 'Shadow Clone Technique' had been promoted to lv4, greatly increasing its stability, it still couldn't withstand much damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why it was worn down and killed by her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was different. Although his Chakra was also somewhat insufficient after the long journey, with the 'Chakra Absorption Technique' and so many Kiri-nin around, he wasn't afraid to engage in a battle of attrition with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as the main body, he wasn't afraid of getting injured. Even the lv8 'Mystical Palm Technique' could allow him to ignore ordinary injuries to a certain extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all these factors, her wanting to defeat him using the same method as she did with the shadow clone was simply a pipe dream, even if she used Lava Release and Boil Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Seimei looked at the water dragon rushing towards him, no longer dodging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang, the long katana was sheathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hands, instantly completed the hand seals, opened his mouth, and performed the ninjutsu - Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stream of fire erupted from his mouth, then transformed into a fire dragon, carrying rolling heat waves, soaring into the air, and colliding with the oncoming water dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A muffled collision sound echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire dragon and the water dragon collided and exploded, turning into countless flames and water streams that fell from the sky, scattering and shooting downwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An even match!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone on the scene, whether Kiri-nin or Konoha ninja, couldn't help but have this thought upon seeing this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, they were all startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because in theory, Water Release Chakra had a restraining effect on Fire Release Chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, ninjutsu formed from these two types of Chakra should also have a restraining effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, unless the one performing the Fire Release had a higher-level ninjutsu or condensed more Chakra, they would be at a disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like how water could extinguish fire, and fire could also evaporate water. The accumulation of quantitative changes could sometimes lead to qualitative changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was that the 'Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique' Seimei performed wasn't higher level than the 'Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique' that Terumi Mei performed. It was even lower, and the Chakra they both used was about the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically speaking, the fire dragon released by Seimei should definitely be at a disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the reality was that both sides were evenly matched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was obviously not normal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why everyone was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this was also easy to understand. The reason for this situation was only one: his mastery of the 'Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique' was too profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Terumi Mei was a genius who could quickly master a ninjutsu, but as long as she hadn't reached a monstrous level, coupled with a bit of luck, it was impossible for her to practice this ninjutsu to perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei was different. With the existence of the proficiency panel, he might not be able to learn a ninjutsu in a few or even dozens of attempts, but as long as he was willing to invest time and effort, he could definitely grind it to the perfected state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And whether a ninjutsu was perfected or not, the effect it could unleash was far from simply leveling up once on the skill panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a difference in the upper limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention anything else, just the casting speed alone, for ninjutsu he had grinded to the perfected state, C-rank and below could basically be cast instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This allowed him to achieve a counterattack after the opponent made their move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, a ninjutsu grinded to the perfected state also meant that he had mastered all its techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the suppression in techniques would allow him to achieve something similar to using four ounces of strength to deflect a thousand pounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely because of all these factors that he was able to achieve an equal footing in the previous clash despite being at a disadvantage in terms of initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These thoughts flashed through Seimei's mind in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what he could think of, Terumi Mei could naturally think of as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, compared to the shock of the people around them, she understood the gap even better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, her expression also became even more unsightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, she thought Seimei's swordsmanship was already impressive enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with the title of \"Ghost Sword,\" she was somewhat mentally prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was, what was going on with this proficient ninjutsu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fine before, although Seimei had used ninjutsu a few times, it was only when he performed single-handed seals that she was a bit surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Seimei went all out, and she immediately saw his true depth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should we retreat?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, this thought arose in Terumi Mei's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they had prepared for a long time for this surprise attack on Konoha's forward base in the Land of Waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they left now, in case Seimei and the others attacked their main force from the rear and performed well, they would be in big trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Terumi Mei was caught in a dilemma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1281,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.619Z",1,"novelbin.me","3c481beb6be31bc3c95f8fcd2ccedfae29dc103a1e889cf09ec59dc818b7722c","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-323","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-321",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
