Even though it was not yet seven o'clock, darkness had already descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been over two hours since the battle began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clash between the ninjas of both sides was now at a fever pitch. The losses were severe, for both Konoha and Kirigakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, without orders from their commanders, the ninjas on either side couldn't retreat and had to continue fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, as the battle progressed, the battlefield had expanded well beyond the narrow strip between the Blackstone Stronghold and the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From quite early on, the two sides' ninjas had spread out across several kilometers of terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This brought some relief to many of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why? The answer is simple: with their forces dispersed, they didn't immediately have to face another enemy after taking one down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this relatively spacious battlefield, they could set up traps and ambushes to conserve some of their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, none of this concerned Seimei and the two other elite Kirigakure ninjas because he didn't give them any room to relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Seimei understood their intentions and even welcomed their cooperation to help him hone his skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn't mean he would take it easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he maintained a high-intensity fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by doing so could he gain the most proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Improving his proficiency wasn't something that could be achieved half-heartedly; it required real, skill-based practice. Otherwise, progress would be slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, he'd hardly allowed the two of them any rest over the past two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily for them, since there were two of them, they could take turns occasionally, giving each other a moment to catch their breath. Without this, they wouldn't have lasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they couldn't swap out too often, as neither could face Seimei alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the time, they fought together to counter Seimei's attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, they were now both utterly exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In stark contrast was Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was younger and still not fully grown, his endurance was remarkable. After over two hours of two-against-one combat, he showed no sign of fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This baffled Murakami Yu and the other Kirigakure jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew that the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan could enhance mental power, but it didn't strengthen physical abilities, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this, Seimei could only say that his 19-point 'Constitution' was not for show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After over two years of observation, he found that adult ninjas in the shinobi world—excluding those with special bloodlines—generally had a constitution value around ten on the stat panel, whether they were genin, chunin, or jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's nineteen points might look only slightly more than double theirs, but the gap was significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The increase in physical attributes isn't linear; it's exponential. With every point added, the enhancement grows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roughly estimated, his overall physical fitness was five to seven times that of an average adult ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this case, his 'stamina' was far beyond that of a typical ninja, even though they had chakra reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, his chakra reserves were even larger than most ordinary ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these advantages stacked together created the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the two heavy-breathing Kirigakure jonin in front of him, Seimei showed no mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without pausing, he took a step forward. His body flashed with a green glow as he used the \"Instant Sword Technique\" again, closing in on his target and launching his attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang, clang~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of intense clashing metal sounds filled the air once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the increasing smoothness of his \"Instant Sword Technique,\" Seimei focused, fully immersed in the thrill of honing his skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But while he was enjoying himself, Murakami Yu and the other Kirigakure jonin were under intense pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving aside the decline in their strength due to severe exhaustion, the \"Instant Sword Technique\" that Seimei was focusing on practicing put an enormous strain on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, they could keep up with his speed, occasionally switching to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, unless they concentrated fully, covering each other's weaknesses, it was easy for them to be caught off-guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This added to their growing pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And beyond just physical fatigue, they were mentally exhausted as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time they clashed, it seemed as though Seimei grew a bit stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching their enemy gradually improve and crush them wasn't something most people could withstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As their fight continued, their defense began to slip. Gradually, the two of them could no longer keep up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screech~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of a blade cutting through flesh echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an \"Instant Sword Technique,\" Seimei appeared at Murakami Yu's side and slashed at him with an unremarkable strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murakami Yu didn't have time to block or dodge, and the other Kirigakure jonin didn't react quickly enough, leading Seimei's sword to slash Murakami Yu's right forearm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he not pulled back slightly at the last moment, Seimei's strike would have broken his bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, the wound on his arm was severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Seimei hadn't infused his blade with Wind Chakra, the natural sharpness of his Kusanagi Sword was enough to tear through flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drip, drip~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drops of blood fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Seimei and the two Kirigakure jonin were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that Seimei was surprised to have injured them. Although the two had been coordinating well over the past two hours, he had managed to leave a few marks on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What surprised him was how easily he had inflicted this injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to mark the point where they could no longer challenge him effectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling himself together, Seimei pressed forward, stepping in close and swinging his sword again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Murakami Yu reacted quickly, immediately leaping back to widen the distance and evade the strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the other Kirigakure jonin rushed forward to attack Seimei, trying to divert his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei ignored him and, before he could get close, used the \"Instant Sword Technique\" again, closing the gap with Murakami Yu at a speed almost impossible to track.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him approach, Murakami Yu halted, preparing to strike with a kunai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Seimei stopped in his tracks, his body glowing intensely before he activated the \"Instant Sword Technique\" for a second time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sudden blur, Seimei 'disappeared' and reappeared at Murakami Yu's right side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, his sword swung down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a scene replayed from before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","61c9da4b8bf390545ca2a9ef1b0221f083a3daede61c6f4da9dbdcd16cc1c415","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-377","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-468",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
