He muttered to himself, \"So, there really are people coming after me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from their direction, they were obviously tracking him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Focusing his attention, Seimei observed them closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, it was as if they were standing right in front of him, and he could see them clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, using his Sharingan to observe others only allowed him to see vague chakra clusters. He would then estimate his enemies' strength based on that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with just one glance, he could clearly see the flow of chakra in their bodies and the chakra points along their chakra network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected, the Byakugan is still stronger in this regard!\" A thought flashed through his mind as he assessed their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their chakra levels, there appeared to be one special jonin and two chunin, plus... a dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's gaze landed on the dog, and he noticed it had chakra as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this was a ninja dog. In terms of strength, it was at most at the level of a chunin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although chakra levels alone can't precisely determine a person or a ninja dog's strength, there's no doubt that the amount of chakra largely determines one's potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some individuals can break through their limits through mastery of techniques like ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu. But most people lack that talent, making this a generally reliable way to gauge enemy strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if some opponents can break past their limitations, did that mean Seimei was ordinary?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, many of his skills were at the perfect level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Seimei confirmed that his enemies' strength didn't exceed a certain threshold, he didn't need to worry about whether they were geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was no doubt that these three people and their dog did not surpass that threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since that was the case, he had no reason to hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though his chakra was a bit low right now, taking out these few was well within his capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, he already had the advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these conditions, he didn't mind using them to replenish his nearly depleted chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he had to act quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he could easily end up surrounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei hadn't forgotten that he was in Mist territory, and if he lingered too long, he would surely draw the attention of other Mist ninja squads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that happened, things could get tricky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, he deactivated his Byakugan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't rush to reapply the \"Protective Seal\" since he might still need it after the fight. For now, this was good enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pressed lightly on his Leaf forehead protector until his eyes felt more comfortable, then quickly made hand signs and activated the Shadow Clone Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Poof*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a burst of chakra smoke, a figure appeared in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei took off his jacket and handed it to the clone. \"Take this and keep moving forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, the clone took the jacket and dashed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Seimei suppressed his aura and concealed himself in the treetops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he saw the ninja dog, he knew how they were tracking him, so he was now turning the tables on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by, second by second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about two minutes, the three people and their dog appeared beneath the tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the dog leading the group, Hapi, stopped in its tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Inoue Ryu and the others also stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's wrong, Hapi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inoue Ryu asked, looking at the dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hapi scrunched its face, sniffing left and right. \"Something's off with the scent here. It seems like the target paused here briefly, then the scent split in two directions: one goes ahead, and the other…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dog suddenly looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all it saw was a flash of a cold white blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing death, Hapi immediately tried to break the summoning contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next instant, a pair of crimson, blood-red eyes appeared in its vision, causing its mind to go blank. *No!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as it saw the Sharingan, Hapi knew something was wrong and desperately tried to break free from the genjutsu's influence, but it couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Crack*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of bones snapping echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's blade slashed across Hapi's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade first cut through flesh, then halted slightly upon hitting bone before slicing all the way through, severing its neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dog's head flew up, rolling a few times before coming to a stop. Its final expression was one of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a summoned beast, Hapi could have escaped easily by canceling the summoning technique. Usually, even if their contracted ninja died, summoned beasts wouldn't die along with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn't mean they couldn't die. If the timing was right, they could be killed before they could unsummon themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Hapi: once Seimei used genjutsu to trap it, its fate was sealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hapi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Hapi's body on the ground, Inoue Ryu's eyes turned red with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bond between Hapi and him was much more than just a typical ninja-summoned beast relationship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had contracted Hapi since he was young. Hapi had taught him much of what he knew about being a ninja, and along the way, it had saved him countless times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their relationship was closer than family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Inoue Ryu not be furious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Swish swish swish*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flurry of kunai shot from Inoue Ryu's hand, aimed directly at Seimei's vital spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei remained calm in the face of this attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the kunai closed in, he activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, using his left eye's ability—**Heavenly Transfer**.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Seimei hadn't intended to get entangled with these enemies. After killing Hapi and ensuring the information wouldn't leak, he activated his strongest ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Seimei disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Inoue Ryu, who had already attacked, and the two Mist chunin, who had just prepared to fight, dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly scanned the surroundings, searching for any sign of Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could mere human eyes detect the powers of the Heavenly Transfer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like he was in another dimension, Seimei watched their reactions and, in a flash, appeared behind Inoue Ryu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he released his ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he reappeared, Inoue Ryu sensed him immediately. His face changed as he tried to dodge the incoming attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a sharp sound, Seimei's blade pierced his back, its tip emerging from his abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mouthful of blood spurted from Inoue Ryu's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced back, catching a glimpse of eyes that looked like black suns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to say something, but before he could, Seimei knocked him unconscious with a swift strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not bothering to absorb his chakra yet, Seimei withdrew his blade and faced the remaining two Mist chunin, reactivating his Heavenly Transfer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, he disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure on the two remaining chunin intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing back to back, they scanned their surroundings with tense expressions, on guard for Seimei's sudden reappearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such precautions were useless against the Heavenly Transfer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, Seimei appeared between the two and, with a quick punch and kick, sent both flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they separated, he followed one with another use of the Heavenly Transfer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one was even weaker than Inoue Ryu; Seimei knocked him out almost instantly upon reappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the third one…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei didn't bother to waste chakra activating the Heavenly Transfer again. In just two moves, he created an opening and trapped him with the **Genjutsu: Sharingan**.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, the three men and their dog were completely annihilated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1279,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","25aa79f622077276916d7062b1d6b3ae350ff6ad81c077e537f541a65c5819de","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-386","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-488",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
