Yet, they ultimately failed to withstand Seimei's Wind Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several tense moments, the mist was blown apart, scattering chaotically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the Mist Ninjas had only advanced a few dozen meters into Yuzuhama Port, barely entering its interior. The distance to the Mist Command Center was still significant—an insurmountable gap for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From above, Seimei saw the Mist Ninjas exposed. Without hesitation, he launched another jutsu—**Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he had handled the sixth wave of Mist Ninja attackers, Seimei capitalized on his absolute aerial advantage. He expended a large amount of chakra to create a massive fireball and hurled it downward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, the darkness retreated as the enormous fireball illuminated the night sky for kilometers around. It descended like a burning sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene alone was overwhelming; even observing from a distance, one could feel its oppressive presence. For those facing it directly, the impact was even more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, the Mist Ninjas stared at the massive fireball, feeling the searing heat radiating from it like the sun itself. Fear gripped their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood frozen, mouths slightly agape, eyes fixed on the fireball. None of them thought to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, they were paralyzed by fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a sharp command rang out: \"Scatter!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was thunderous, jolting everyone back to their senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the Mist Ninjas scattered like startled birds, each fleeing in different directions to avoid the falling fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**Boom!**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireball struck the ground, erupting in a massive explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, flames surged outward, spreading rapidly in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything in their path—grass, trees, insects, buildings—was consumed. In an instant, the surroundings transformed into a sea of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, Seimei panted heavily. Even for him, forming and controlling such a massive fireball wasn't easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the effect was excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei looked at the scattered Mist Ninjas, took a deep breath, and flapped his wings, targeting the most threatening enemy among them—Yoshida Eiyuu, a Mist Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the others?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outer Konoha Ninjas would handle them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if some slipped through, it wouldn't matter. Low- to mid-level ninjas had no impact on the central battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His focus was solely on Yoshida Eiyuu and two Special Jonin nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**Whoosh!**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei dove rapidly, positioning himself above Yoshida Eiyuu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, Yoshida Eiyuu was still running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he turned and flung a kunai at Seimei, aiming to catch him off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, such a simple trick was ineffective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a glance from his Sharingan, Seimei locked onto the kunai's trajectory and predicted its path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tilted his body slightly, easily dodging the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, he swiftly extended his fingers, catching the kunai by its ring as it passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his wrist, he spun the kunai around his finger before returning it toward Yoshida Eiyuu with precise force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Yoshida Eiyuu was caught off guard. He quickly dodged to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave Seimei the opening to launch another attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands moved swiftly, forming seals with the grace of a butterfly in flight. Opening his mouth, he unleashed three fire dragons in a triangular formation toward Yoshida Eiyuu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the upgraded version of **Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique**—**Fire Release: Majestic Dragon Flame!**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with the converging fire dragons, Yoshida Eiyuu had no time to defend and could only dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**Boom! Boom! Boom!**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire dragons struck the ground, igniting another large area. Yoshida Eiyuu narrowly escaped harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Seimei continued forming seals, relentlessly attacking with various jutsu, intent on leaving no chance for survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yoshida Eiyuu became increasingly battered, and injuries began to accumulate on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his plight, the two Special Jonin who had scattered earlier returned to aid him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them unleashed a Water Release jutsu from a distance, spitting multiple water spheres toward Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These spheres seemed harmless but contained a peculiar chakra with a unique property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the danger, Seimei flapped his wings and quickly distanced himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mist Special Jonin clicked his tongue in disappointment and shouted, \"Explode!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water spheres suddenly burst, releasing a viscous liquid that spread in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had Seimei been caught in it, his movements would have been significantly hindered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Specialized chakra transformation... how interesting,\" Seimei murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he hadn't encountered this exact technique before, it reminded him of Konoha's Kamizuki Izumo, one of the \"Gatekeepers,\" who could use a similar transformation to create techniques like **Water Release: Syrup Trap** and **Water Release: Binding Rope.**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the specifics might differ, the adhesive properties were comparable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Avoiding entanglement was key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Seimei formed seals and unleashed **Wind Release: Blade of Wind!**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**Whoosh!**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A transparent wind blade sliced through the air, targeting the Mist Special Jonin's midsection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the danger, Kawada Koji leaped back, narrowly avoiding the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This allowed Yoshida Eiyuu to regroup with the other Special Jonin. Together, they warily faced Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Seimei didn't press the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mission wasn't to kill them but to hold them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, he had gone all out, exhausting his chakra and targeting Yoshida Eiyuu, to draw in the two Special Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While low- and mid-level ninjas could be ignored, these Special Jonin had enough strength to influence the battle at the Mist Command Center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they were all here, Seimei no longer needed to push further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*(Chapter End)*\u003C\u002Fp>",959,"2026-06-06T03:30:56.197Z",1,"novelbin.me","c42c9d73a85fb9c9cd89d8acd854a2d7f4bead04a85368eb6f5567ca527efb41","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-510","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-508",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
