By the time he exited the tent, he was already fully equipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several others also emerged with him, including their team leader, Furukawa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly reached Furukawa's side and followed his gaze towards the distance, where faint sounds of fighting could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, something had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The patrol and defense of this area were handled by two squads, one responsible for daytime and the other for nighttime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their Team 17, the first squad, patrolled during the day, while the second squad, which they handed over to, was responsible for the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undoubtedly, it was the second squad currently engaged in battle with the unknown enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second squad consisted of four teams. Two of them had the same configuration as their team, with one Jonin leading three Genin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining two teams each had one Tokubetsu Jonin and three Chunin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, including the Jonin squad leader, the second squad had a total of seventeen people: three Jonin, two Tokubetsu Jonin, and six each of Chunin and Genin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was almost the same as their first squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Seimei could only hope that the enemy had accidentally exposed themselves and been caught by one of the second squad's teams, forcing them into combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it would be a big problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because that would mean the enemy's overall combat strength was no less than theirs, and their mission was no longer the usual lurking and infiltration, but a surprise attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, both sides would inevitably fight to the death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Seimei was pondering, the first squad assembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, fighting sounds also came from two other directions in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, there was no need to guess anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was definitely not lurking and infiltration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one would organize multiple teams for lurking and infiltration, making it difficult to retreat if discovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that they didn't care about their whereabouts being exposed, it was clear they were prepared for a surprise attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei couldn't understand the purpose of the enemy's surprise attack this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just a temporary camp without any important facilities. Even if they captured it, it seemed to have no value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this place wasn't too far from Konoha's main camp. As long as they sent the information back in time, the main camp could provide support at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, it was impossible for the enemy to hold this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was even the risk of being surrounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would the enemy do something with such a disproportionate risk and reward?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To eliminate Konoha's active forces?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were only a few people here, and no particularly famous ninja. Even if they killed everyone, how much impact could it have on Konoha?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To pass through?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they were just passing through, they shouldn't be making any noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the lack of information, Seimei couldn't figure out the enemy's intentions for the time being, so he simply stopped thinking about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, their first squad's leader, Nakajima Hiroshi, stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a middle-aged Jonin, and his first words were an order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attention, everyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone immediately stood at attention, awaiting his next instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First squad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Present!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slender Jonin, along with three Genin, stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei knew this person was named Okura Seiya. He looked frail, but in reality, his combat power was extremely strong, no weaker than their team leader, Furukawa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seiya, your squad will stay and guard the camp,\" Nakajima Hiroshi ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Captain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okura Seiya had no objections. He responded and stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nakajima Hiroshi looked at the others and said, \"Second, third, and fourth squads!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Present!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leaders of the three squads responded simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will immediately depart with me to support the second squad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Captain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furukawa and the others responded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei didn't quite understand this arrangement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his opinion, Okura Seiya was so strong that he should go with the team to provide support. Leaving him here was a waste of talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Nakajima Hiroshi soon made him understand the meaning behind this arrangement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said, \"Seiya, summon your summoning beast now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okura Seiya nodded without any surprise, then bit his thumb, letting blood flow down his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if feeling no pain, Okura Seiya quickly formed the five hand seals \"Boar - Dog - Bird - Monkey - Ram\" and used his blood as a medium to perform the Summoning Technique, summoning a night owl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he used some unknown ninjutsu to connect the owl's vision with his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, whatever the owl saw, he would also see simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there was a distance limit to this connection, it was undoubtedly an excellent reconnaissance method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Seimei understood Nakajima Hiroshi's intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly planned to have this owl accompany them and, through its connection with Okura Seiya, transmit information back to the camp in real-time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Okura Seiya would contact the main camp, allowing them to understand the situation here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was sending reinforcements or launching a counter-encirclement, they could then act with precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Nakajima Hiroshi's next words confirmed his guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seiya, from now on, you will control 'Owl' and secretly follow us, transmitting information to the main camp at all times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Okura Seiya nodded in response, indicating no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flap~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of wings flapping came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night owl summoned by Okura Seiya soared into the sky and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Nakajima Hiroshi nodded, then said to Seimei and the others, \"Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he took the lead and rushed into the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei and the others didn't dare to delay and quickly followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What relieved Seimei was that Nakajima Hiroshi didn't blindly divide their forces. Instead, he led everyone towards the nearest battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly intended to assess the situation before deciding on their next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei wholeheartedly agreed with this approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation was currently unclear. Recklessly dividing their forces would undoubtedly be a very dangerous move. If they were defeated individually, it would be disastrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Nakajima Hiroshi, being the squad leader, wasn't a fool and didn't make such a basic mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This slightly eased Seimei's anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rustle, rustle, rustle~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei and the others were moving swiftly. Just as they were about to approach the battlefield, Nakajima Hiroshi in front suddenly raised his right arm, signaling everyone to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone immediately halted and looked around vigilantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point, the sounds of insects and birds in the forest had ceased. Under the silent night sky, only the rustling of leaves in the night wind remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surroundings were eerily quiet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone held their breath and observed their surroundings, as if there were ferocious beasts lurking nearby, making them afraid to breathe deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>",1182,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.339Z",1,"novelbin.me","1a0d26b8a7ed397bcbad923c57841a3249a98b458abb76d023d0e239184ebe69","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-40","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-38",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
