His natural regenerative abilities were also strong enough to keep him going for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, there was chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a ninja, chakra is undoubtedly the most important resource.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, with the amount of chakra he currently had, even if he killed everyone below, it wouldn't be depleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of these two factors, their idea of using sheer numbers to overwhelm him was unrealistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, the number of enemies they had now was far from sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, to maximize the damage on the Mist ninjas, Seimei deliberately feigned fatigue, allowing himself to sustain more injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his accuracy in casting ninjutsu decreased slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, a fake is still a fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, Mei Terumī and the others didn't notice anything unusual. But as Seimei continued killing Mist ninjas despite his injuries, they began to realize something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after he once again used **Wind Release: Wind Blade** to slay two Mist Chunin, Mei Terumī called off the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have they realized?\" Seimei murmured as he watched the attackers halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he stopped pretending, raised his hands to form seals, and used the **Palm Healing Technique**, infusing a dense amount of Yang chakra into his body, allowing it to heal his wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he made another set of seals, unleashing **Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique**!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, countless fireballs shot from his mouth, resembling a meteor shower of flames, raining down on the Mist ninjas below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right—after they had stopped, he initiated his own offensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't due to arrogance but because he had realized that, while the previous battle had been dangerous, the overall risk was manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he was cautious not to be ambushed by Mei Terumī and the other Jonin, he could keep fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in order to deal with him, Mei Terumī and her allies would need to summon even more reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In doing so, the pressure on the other parts of the battlefield, where Konoha ninjas were fighting, would naturally lessen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, he would achieve his goal of drawing their fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, this \"dancing on the edge\" situation could also maximize the growth of his **Wind Release: Wings of Wind**.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just this short while, its proficiency had increased by nearly 200 points. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before **Wings of Wind** leveled up to Lv3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, its agility would certainly increase, and his safety would improve as a result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a win-win situation, there was no way he would pass it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he launched his attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the rain of fire fall from the sky, the Mist ninjas below frantically dodged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Seimei had long since perfected this technique, gaining exceptional control over the fireballs he released.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after his **Spirit** attribute surpassed the 20-point threshold, his control had become even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the fireballs seemed almost alive, each one homing in on the nearest Mist ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Chunin, with their quicker reactions, they managed to evade with some effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the lower-ranking ninjas weren't so lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several were struck by the fireballs, collapsing with cries of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Mei Terumī's face darkened. She countered with **Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique**, aiming directly at Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Seimei's eyes lit up. He didn't dodge but instead formed seals, unleashing **Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique**!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, the fire dragon collided with the water dragon in midair, producing a sizzling sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White steam erupted, and in the blink of an eye, it covered an area of more than a hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something's off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the dense fog around her, Mei Terumī immediately sensed that something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the size of the water and fire dragons, they shouldn't have produced this much steam in such a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the chakra within the fog, Mei Terumī quickly realized, \"It's the **Hidden Mist Technique**, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she confirmed this, ready to warn her comrades, a flash of steel appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chilling killing intent washed over her, sending shivers down her spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, she instinctively dodged to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>",1232,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","24e0b7e7c7ce97b4d40fbca89617be55edb930c2c56db4cb93257bae8cf876b2","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-482","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-481",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
