This mastery intensified the pressure on the Mist Shinobi even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Working in tandem with Akimichi Choza, Seimei ensured that the Mist's lower and middle-rank shinobi had no chance to interfere with the battle between the Jonin on both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Minato Namikaze and his group advanced unimpeded, breaking through with incredible momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this was merely one defensive line, and the Mist Village couldn't afford to station too many Jonin here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they had anticipated this as the likely breakout point, assembling a large number of Jonin was implausible due to two factors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, they lacked the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's group moved quickly and maintained secrecy, leaving the Mist to chase after them blindly. Falling behind once meant they remained behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, the Mist's command structure had been disrupted by Minato Namikaze and his team, making coordination among their scattered units exceedingly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why, then, did they attempt to block the breakout at all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer was simple: they had an abundance of lower-rank shinobi. If they were willing to sacrifice themselves, they could stall Minato and his team, buying time for reinforcements to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With more Jonin in play, they could launch a concentrated attack on Minato's group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for them, this plan was entirely disrupted by Seimei and Akimichi Choza. This ultimately led to the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flapping his wings, Seimei hovered above the battlefield, launching attacks to shield Minato Namikaze's breakout. He remained vigilant, scanning the surroundings for any movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one point, his eyes narrowed as he spotted a small group of Mist Shinobi rushing toward the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that these newcomers posed a significant threat; rather, their arrival signified that the noise of the battle had attracted nearby Mist reinforcements, and they had begun to take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this dragged on, reinforcements would continue to pour in, complicating the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We must break through immediately,\" Seimei thought, using the *Communication Jutsu* to inform Minato of the development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato didn't hesitate. Through Yamanaka Inoichi, he relayed orders to the clan leaders, instructing them to go all out to clear the path for the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving the command, the clan leaders exchanged subtle glances and unleashed their full power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei watched as, within moments, the Mist Jonin were completely suppressed by Minato and his team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the group not been drained by previous battles, they might have done more than suppress their opponents—they could have eliminated them outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even so, this was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato's group had already pushed to the edge of the forest during their advance. With their final burst of strength, they shattered the Mist's defenses and plunged into the dense woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From there, they fought as they retreated, gradually vanishing into the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Akimichi Choza, he transformed into a rolling force of destruction, barreling into the woods before reverting to his human form and disappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Seimei?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply flapped his wings and joined the others, without even touching the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mist Jonin, watching their prey vanish, were filled with frustration. They quickly organized a pursuit team and entered the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it wasn't long before a massive explosion echoed through the trees, followed by several others, interspersed with Mist Shinobi's screams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing they had triggered traps, the Mist were forced to retreat, humiliated and battered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Minato Namikaze's group, aided by their familiarity with the terrain and the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan members, avoided traps as they darted through the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within half an hour, they emerged from a secluded part of the woods and entered the Leaf's defensive zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief rest and a few food pills to replenish their strength, the group pressed on, finally returning to the Leaf camp by 3 a.m.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The camp, much like the Mist's base at Oil Port, was sparsely manned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To support this operation, Nara Shikaku had deployed most of their forces to engage the Mist elsewhere, aiming to pin down as many enemies as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That battle was still ongoing and promised to escalate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this assassination mission wasn't an isolated effort. It was part of a broader strategy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the mission succeeded, the next step was to exploit the chaos in the Mist's chain of command and deal a decisive blow to their forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant the frontlines couldn't afford to rest—and neither could Minato's team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief respite, they would need to return to the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Shikaku's briefing, Seimei remained silent, focusing on replenishing his chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the night's battles had been draining, the results were clear: the Mist would be forced into a period of quiet across the entire front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Seimei stayed on the battlefield or returned to the Black Stone base, he could look forward to some peaceful time for training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exchanging one night of battle for several days—or even weeks—of peace was a trade Seimei gladly accepted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the briefing concluded, Shikaku dismissed the group to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*(End of Chapter)*\u003C\u002Fp>",935,"2026-06-06T03:30:56.197Z",1,"novelbin.me","9197669ea98269b73b38f1b5d014560b7575921f172ffe6c9a1335a438453295","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-516","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-514",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
