But just at that moment, Seimei approached again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, all the Mist Ninjas were back on full alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Seimei flew directly into their attack range, drawing them into attacking, only to retreat once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because there was still some distance, Seimei easily dodged without taking any damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mist Ninjas had wasted another opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this, Seimei hovered in the distant sky, watching them. He neither retreated nor advanced, leaving the Mist Ninjas feeling unsettled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, Ao gave the order for the team to continue moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they hadn't gone far before Seimei approached again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helplessly, the Mist Ninjas had to stop once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, despite Seimei's provocation, they didn't attack hastily, even when he entered their range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Seimei chuckled softly and said, \"They're quite patient, aren't they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he flew in an arc, closing in on them a second time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he didn't just retreat after a brief approach. Instead, he advanced to within less than twenty meters of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this distance, they could easily launch multiple attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the Mist Ninjas couldn't hold back. Under Ao's command, they launched an assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First came a barrage of kunai, followed by ninjutsu attacks, and finally, a few Mist Ninjas approached, attempting to trap him with steel wires and unusual ninja tools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for them, none of this escaped Seimei's Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't engage with them directly. After drawing their attacks, he immediately used various techniques to dodge and block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he narrowly avoided all the attacks and returned to the skies above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through his Sharingan, Seimei could clearly see that after just two rounds of this, some of the Mist Ninjas were already showing signs of frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, \"Strike while the iron is hot, hesitate and lose momentum.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he kept this up a few more times, the upper-level Mist Ninjas might still be eager for battle, but the mid and lower-level ones would start to falter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might not say it out loud, but when the time came to act, they would undoubtedly hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in a fierce battle, even a moment's hesitation could cost them their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likewise, that split-second hesitation might be the key to Seimei's escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One or two people hesitating might not be a big deal, but if most of the team did, Seimei's chances of survival would greatly increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Seimei paused briefly before launching a third attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flap of his wings, his speed soared to the limit, reaching 40 meters per second as he closed in on the Mist Ninja squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ao's expression changed slightly, and he immediately shouted, \"Everyone, attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, a dense rain of kunai flew toward him, some of them laced with explosive tags and poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's Sharingan spun rapidly, instantly tracking all the kunai and predicting their flight paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew the long sword at his waist, slicing and deflecting the kunai as they came toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of violent explosions echoed through the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red fireballs appeared in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shrouded in a blue glow, Seimei passed through the explosion zone, using the blast waves from the explosive tags to accelerate toward the Mist Ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Attack! Keep attacking!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the three Mist Ninja leaders quickly issued orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, they formed hand seals and each unleashed a ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them used the Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu, summoning a massive water dragon that attacked Seimei from the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another launched three water arrows, each the length of an arm, in a triangular formation, aiming to limit Seimei's movements and force him into a collision with the water dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear the two were coordinating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the third, he didn't use Water Style but instead unleashed a rare Fire Style jutsu from the Hidden Mist Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, flames spewed from his mouth, rapidly expanding like a massive flower blooming, aiming to engulf Seimei entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Seimei's eyes brightened, but it was too late to copy the technique. He could only give up for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the incoming barrage of attacks, Seimei remained calm. He raised his left hand and quickly formed hand seals, then took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he gathered a large amount of chakra, converting it into Wind Style, and unleashed it in a powerful exhale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a fierce wind arose, conjuring a storm that blew forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't just any jutsu—it was the C-rank jutsu, Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, sometimes the simplest techniques are the most effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of such an overwhelming attack, Seimei's solution was simple: use Wind Style: Great Breakthrough, relying on his chakra advantage to overpower the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Wind Style: Great Breakthrough isn't a particularly difficult jutsu to learn, its power depends entirely on the amount of chakra used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current near-lv6 chakra control and his mastery of the Wind Style: Great Breakthrough at its peak, Seimei had no problem summoning 3,000 points of chakra for this attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This amount of chakra was roughly a third of his capacity, and the resulting Wind Style: Great Breakthrough was, naturally, incredibly powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him, all the attacks coming his way—whether ninjutsu or ninja tools—were blown away. They couldn't even get close to him, let alone harm him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, the crisis he faced was easily resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as Seimei was beginning to relax and lowering his left hand, a sudden sense of danger overwhelmed him, sending chills down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Acting on instinct, he flapped his wings and dodged to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a slender steel needle grazed his left arm, leaving a deep cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei was sure that the senbon was originally aimed at his heart, but thanks to his quick reflexes, it only injured his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This close call left Seimei in a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1208,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.619Z",1,"novelbin.me","ff778f8a73469727fac501246d19be78736d857909290532e387436bfa860ee3","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-428","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-426",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
