He immediately raised his hand to form seals, using the ninjutsu — Communication Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it's true that one should always hold something in reserve, this wasn't the time to keep secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, he could fly back to the base in under two minutes, but the Mist Ninja squad below wasn't far from the base either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that distance, two minutes could change a lot of things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after a brief thought, he decided to reveal the \"Communication Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was only able to do this because his skill had been promoted to level 3 after practicing it for two days, allowing him to communicate freely with anyone, not just his shadow clones, within a five-kilometer radius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, even if he wanted to reveal it, he wouldn't have had the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These thoughts flashed through his mind as Seimei contacted Sano Nobuhisa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seimei?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Sano Nobuhisa spoke with hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he didn't expect Seimei to also know the Yamanaka clan's secret technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei didn't bother to explain, instead saying, \"A team of Mist Ninjas is approaching from the south side of the base. Their number is roughly—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei glanced down at the Mist Ninjas below and quickly estimated, \"About 260 of them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Sano Nobuhisa stopped worrying about how Seimei suddenly learned the \"Communication Technique\" and quickly asked, \"How strong are they? What's their exact position?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response, Seimei focused his Sharingan on the Mist Ninjas below. After a moment, he said, \"About ten Jonin, 170 Chunin, the rest are Genin. As for their position—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're about four kilometers from the base now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four kilometers…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sano Nobuhisa murmured, paused briefly, and then directly ordered, \"Seimei, delay their advance as much as possible. I'll send reinforcements immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei had already known that as long as he didn't return to the base, he would inevitably be asked to intercept the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, even if he had just flown back, they would probably have asked him to fly back out to continue blocking the enemy's advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with his flight ability, he was the ideal candidate for this task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had also considered this before deciding not to fly back to report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, as he had just reported, the overall strength of the Mist Ninjas below wasn't overwhelming — they were still within his capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he did not refuse and agreed readily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cutting the connection, Seimei focused and shifted his full attention to the Mist Ninjas below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, those Mist Ninjas had already spotted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for them, he was flying too high for their attacks to reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, for now, no one attempted to attack him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei looked at the Mist Ninja formation below, which had slowed its pace. Several Mist Jonin gathered together, discussing something while glancing up at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to guess; Seimei knew they were discussing how to deal with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Seimei wasn't worried. As long as he didn't lower his altitude, there was nothing they could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the beauty of flight-based ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to his surprise, after a short discussion, the Mist Jonin ignored him and resumed leading their troops forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pace they had just slowed down now sped up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Seimei frowned slightly. This move had presented him with a dilemma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, he was safe up in the air, out of their range, but at the same time, the ninjutsu he currently had couldn't affect them from that height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that they could completely ignore his threat and keep moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversely, if he chose to lower his altitude, he would undoubtedly face numerous attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His risks would increase significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After following them for several hundred meters, Seimei finally sighed and said, \"Fine, sooner or later I have to take this step, might as well start now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Seimei's expression hardened. He locked onto the densest group of Mist Ninjas below, and the chakra wings on his back flapped gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, like a missile, he dove straight down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, seeing him make a move, one of the Mist Jonin immediately ordered the troops to stop and prepare to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance between them kept closing, and Seimei was about to enter their attack range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just then, he suddenly pulled up sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He traced a beautiful \"U\" shape in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei was indeed planning to strike, but that didn't mean he wanted a head-on clash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With full control over the situation, he could easily harass them repeatedly, playing a game of \"crying wolf.\" As long as he slowed down their advance, it didn't matter if he actually attacked or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Seimei leave their attack range once again, some of the Mist Ninjas, unwilling to let it go, threw their kunai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei was simply too fast and agile in the air. None of the kunai even got close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After climbing back to a higher altitude, Seimei didn't immediately dive again. Instead, he circled above, quietly observing the Mist Ninjas' reactions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, the Mist Ninjas paused for a moment. Realizing they couldn't do anything to Seimei, they continued to advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they hadn't gone far before Seimei once again lowered his altitude, assuming an attack stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the Mist Ninjas didn't dare to take any chances and halted to prepare for defense once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet again, Seimei only feigned an attack. He climbed back up just before reaching critical altitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the Mist Ninjas below were thrown into disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at high altitude, Seimei observed all of this through his Sharingan and nodded in satisfaction. This was exactly the effect he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Seimei noticed that the Mist Jonin were gathering again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no idea what they were discussing, but less than a minute later, they split up once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, they led half of the troops each, moving in two different directions — east and west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are they doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Seimei felt a mix of surprise and uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly understood their plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After splitting up about 100 meters, the two groups stopped moving, then both resumed heading towards the Black Stone base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious they were trying to spread the risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By splitting into two teams, regardless of which one he attacked, the other could continue advancing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, at least half of them would be guaranteed to reach the target on time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, since the two teams were still close to each other, if one got caught up with him, the other could quickly provide support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, if one team struggled, the other could decide whether or not to assist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had considered every angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei had to admit he was impressed that they came up with such a plan in such a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, even the most brilliant plan means nothing in the face of overwhelming strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a murmur, Seimei's wings flapped, and he dived directly toward the eastern group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1177,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.619Z",1,"novelbin.me","e50b0e6214a25e3588e92e0a6312ff2fb795c55de606a07e73bd59d2cf3ceddc","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-411","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-409",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
