He stretched out his left hand and collided with the dragon's claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the massive dragon claws, Seimei's hand wasn't even as big as one of its fingernails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even with this exaggerated difference in size, Seimei didn't retreat even half a step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment they made contact, the \"Wind Release: Rasenshuriken\" coiled in Seimei's palm started to take effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, what Seimei unleashed wasn't any other ninjutsu, but the S-rank forbidden technique - Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant shuriken exploded, transforming into countless microscopic chakra needles that were invisible to the naked eye, piercing through the ice dragon's claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tiny ice chips fell like rain, and the dragon's claws almost disappeared in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn't all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Wind Release: Rasenshuriken\" continued forward, eventually making contact with the ice dragon's body, instantly leaving a massive hole in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yukikaze continuously poured chakra into the ice dragon, trying to repair the breach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the hole was too large, and the internal structure of the jutsu had been destroyed, making it impossible to repair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the ice dragon let out a mournful cry and crumbled into pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei dodged the falling ice blocks with a few flashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No longer paying attention to Yukikaze and the other three Kiri-nin Jonin, Seimei scanned the entire battlefield and shouted, \"Retreat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Konoha ninjas, who were already prepared, immediately gathered together and retreated towards Eagle's Beak Cliff according to the predetermined plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mist ninjas were caught off guard by this scene. Except for a few stronger and quicker individuals who managed to stop their opponents, the rest couldn't hold back their enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once they regrouped, they wouldn't be so easy to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Mist ninjas didn't want to give up so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, someone immediately ordered a pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they hadn't run far before they encountered resistance from the Konoha ninjas left behind at Eagle's Beak Cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless kunai rained down from the sky, mixed with many explosive tags, forcing them to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, ninjutsu and genjutsu cast by some Konoha ninjas also caused a lot of trouble for their pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After one round of attacks, seeing that they were about to launch a second round, a Kiri-nin Jonin couldn't stand it anymore and immediately raised his hands, forming seals and performing the jutsu - Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the surroundings were shrouded in mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, the Konoha ninjas on the clifftop didn't dare to attack recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, due to the geographical environment of their village, Kirigakure ninjas were accustomed to dealing with thick fog all year round. Moreover, the \"Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique\" was one of Kirigakure's signature techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, even if they weren't proficient in the \"Silent Killing Technique,\" they could still discern the enemy's movements in the dense fog through subtle sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, they could completely turn the disadvantage into an advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as this Kiri-nin Jonin was about to order a free hunt, a gust of wind suddenly swept in, instantly dispersing the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He focused his gaze and saw Seimei slowly closing his mouth and lowering his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, the gust of wind was his doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the concealing mist gone, the Konoha ninjas, who had slowed down their escape, immediately sped up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei glanced in their direction and basically confirmed that they should have no problem escaping back to Eagle's Beak Cliff, so he stopped paying attention to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he had to run away himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Seimei's body flickered with green light, and he was about to use the \"Instantaneous Body Flicker Technique\" to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the next moment, an invisible sound wave once again rushed into his ears, causing him to stumble and almost fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the same auditory genjutsu he had encountered not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this time it was much stronger than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei forced himself to focus, instantly dispelling the mental energy and chakra that had invaded his mind, and turned to look at a Kiri-nin Jonin not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was this person who was casting the genjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this person seemed to be afraid of being controlled by his Sharingan genjutsu, so even though he was casting the genjutsu on him, he didn't look at him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helplessly, Seimei could only step forward and charge towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish~ Swish~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two familiar figures suddenly appeared, protecting the person in front. They were the two Kiri-nin Jonin who had fought with him earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei looked at them, his footsteps never stopping, and continued to sprint forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before he could get close, the two of them simultaneously raised their hands and formed seals, performing the jutsu - Water Release: Water Severing Wave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, two waterfall-like streams of water shot out from their mouths, aiming straight at Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Seimei's expression remained unchanged. He raised his hands, swiftly completed hand seals, and once again performed the jutsu - Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant shark appeared, swallowing all the water streams, its size visibly increasing. Then, carrying an unstoppable force, it charged towards the two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the two immediately stopped their jutsu and dodged to the sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shark crashed onto the sea surface, creating waves over ten meters high, but it didn't injure anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, even the Kiri-nin Jonin who was standing behind the two earlier wasn't hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point, an ice wall over ten meters high had appeared in front of him, just in time to block the impact of the giant wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoubtedly, this was Yukikaze's doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the four people coordinating seamlessly, Seimei slowed down, his body suddenly turning ninety degrees, and he ran straight towards Eagle's Beak Cliff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't necessarily have to kill the Kiri-nin Jonin who specialized in auditory genjutsu. As long as the opponent didn't hinder his departure, it was fine to let him go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His previous actions had already attracted everyone's attention, and now was the perfect opportunity to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, before he could take two steps, his footsteps suddenly halted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, a blue barrier abruptly appeared in front of him, with ripples on its surface, as if it could be broken with a single poke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Seimei knew that was just an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This barrier was no simple thing. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be a barrier jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking to his left, right, and behind, similar barriers had also risen at some point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, these four barriers connected with each other and closed from top to bottom, ultimately forming a cubic cage about thirty meters long, wide, and high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish, swish, swish~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four figures appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were cloaked in black robes and wore masks. They were clearly four Anbu ninjas from Kirigakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These four Kirigakure Anbu each occupied a corner of the cage, silently maintaining the operation of the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this happened in an instant, leaving Seimei no time to escape. Otherwise, he wouldn't have remained indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this, it could be seen that these four Kirigakure Anbu must have been prepared beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, how could their timing be so perfect?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei truly didn't expect that Kirigakure would be so well-prepared for a mere probing attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost as if they were deliberately targeting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1314,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","364a364b5d513c51be33f61f1cfd8afe4c971b248c75c72f367249d933f5383d","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-459","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-458",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
