Its lv2 level didn't allow him to achieve the \"teleportation\" effect in front of Genin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, before Seimei could strike, the Iwa-nin Genin reacted and raised his kunai, blocking Seimei's attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, due to his previously injured arm, his strength wasn't sufficient and was easily overpowered by Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the opponent's blood-soaked arm, Seimei's eyes flickered. His kunai slashed and stabbed, launching over a dozen attacks in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the Iwa-nin Genin tried his best to defend, he still couldn't keep up with Seimei's rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after another swing of the kunai, Seimei found an opportunity. He exerted force from his waist and abdomen and kicked out his right foot fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thump!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A muffled impact sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iwa-nin Genin felt his left arm go numb, and his entire body was sent flying diagonally backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei didn't let up. Before retracting his right foot, he swiftly threw three shuriken. Empowered by his lv3 'Shuriken Throwing', they aimed directly at three vital points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the danger, the Iwa-nin Genin quickly dodged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, in mid-air with nowhere to leverage himself, even after twisting his body with all his might, he could only dodge two of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, one shuriken still hit his thigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood gushed out. The shuriken Seimei threw had precisely struck the artery in his leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his body landed, the Iwa-nin Genin couldn't maintain his balance and stumbled, letting out a suppressed groan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Seimei used the Body Flicker Technique and silently appeared behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chill ran down his spine, and beads of sweat rolled down the Iwa-nin Genin's forehead. A strong sense of despair emanated from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A near-pleading voice reached Seimei's ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he remained unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Iwa-nin Genin's pupils suddenly dilated, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gasp... Gasp...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound as if his trachea was blocked came from his mouth. Seimei expressionlessly pulled the kunai out from his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mouthful of blood spurted from the Iwa-nin Genin's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he collapsed onto the ground, completely lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After killing him, Seimei scanned his surroundings and then immediately rushed towards Mizutani Shizuko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her taijutsu was already weak, and now she was being besieged by two Iwa-nin Genin. The situation was not looking good, and Seimei had to rescue her quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, after he took the lead in the attack, it only took less than three minutes for the two Iwa-nin Genin to fall to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without resting, Seimei targeted the two Iwa-nin Genin who were fighting Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like before, after he and Mizutani Shizuko joined the fight, the two Iwa-nin Genin didn't have much chance to resist and were killed within a few minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei and his two teammates were the only three Genin on Konoha's side, so the Iwa-nin assigned to deal with them were also Genin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a perfectly normal arrangement. Two against one, and both being Genin, the Iwa-nin theoretically couldn't lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they didn't expect Seimei to be a game-changer, a Genin in name, but with combat power far exceeding that level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, one mistake led to the deaths of six Iwa-nin Genin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he killed six Iwa-nin Genin in a row, he finally attracted the attention of other Iwa-nin. Immediately, three Iwa-nin Chunin abandoned their opponents and charged straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Seimei didn't turn back and said to Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko behind him, \"Help me hold off the one on the left.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\" x2\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having fought together for so long, Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko had considerable trust in Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, after he spoke, they agreed almost without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Receiving their confirmation, Seimei didn't waste any more time. He kicked off the ground with both feet and charged towards the two Iwa-nin Chunin on the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several shuriken flew towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's figure swayed slightly, like a butterfly flitting among flowers, easily dodging the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the already serious expressions of the two Iwa-nin Chunin became even more grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren't surprised that Seimei could dodge this wave of attacks. After all, someone who could kill six of their Genin in such a short time must have some skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what they didn't expect was that Seimei dodged so effortlessly, with the shuriken almost grazing his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seemed simple but was actually very dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It not only required the ninja to be bold and meticulous, remaining calm and composed before the attack arrived, but also required them to have a clear judgment of the opponent's attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, not only would it not save energy, but it might also result in getting oneself covered in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, generally speaking, unless they were absolutely certain, ninja would leave some room for error.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But clearly, Seimei didn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made the two Iwa-nin Chunin even more cautious towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this happened in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After dodging the two Iwa-nin's shuriken attack, Seimei didn't slow down and arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye. The clanging of kunai clashing followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the past month of training, his combat experience had greatly increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, facing the combined attack of two Iwagakure Chunin again, he was no longer as passive as he had been during the ambush earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his goal wasn't just to stall them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei glanced at the battlefield from the corner of his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Jonin side, although Konoha was at a disadvantage, neither side had suffered any casualties yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Chunin and Genin side, besides the six Iwa-nin Genin he had killed, one Iwa-nin Chunin and two Iwa-nin Genin had been killed by his other teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, being outnumbered, killing these three enemies had cost Konoha two Chunin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, there were still six Jonin, eight Chunin, and one Genin on the Iwa-nin side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And on their side?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from the two Jonin and two Tokubetsu Jonin, there were only four Chunin left, along with the three Genin from their Team 17.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>4+3 against 8+1, he had to kill at least two or three more Iwa-nin Chunin to maintain some balance on the Chunin and Genin battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Jonin battlefield...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn't something he could participate in or influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Seimei could do was try his best to ensure that their side of the battlefield didn't collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything more was beyond his capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was willing to expose his Sharingan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unless absolutely necessary, Seimei wouldn't do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sharingan was his trump card, and the reason it was called a trump card was its ability to turn the tide of battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his Sharingan was only single tomoe, combined with the 'Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique' he had mastered, even a Jonin would be somewhat affected by a surprise attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And ninja were fragile. As long as he could seize that opportunity, even if he couldn't kill the enemy outright, he could at least severely injure them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, he would have a chance to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, unless he was forced into a corner, he wouldn't use his Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>",1215,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.339Z",1,"novelbin.me","cc03b201d45e949c2efb4c35944088f705d4ac89700790ef13f904aef18e4994","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-42","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-40",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
