After some thought, he raised his right hand, focused his chakra, and performed the Shadow Clone Jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him, this was no challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Performing the Shadow Clone Jutsu didn't require any specific hand seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, crossing his hands to form the \"Ram\" seal was merely out of habit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, as long as one had sufficient chakra control, the jutsu could be performed without any seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, since he needed a shadow clone with \"wings,\" he symbolically formed a single-hand seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Poof!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid a puff of chakra smoke, a shadow clone appeared on the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei glanced at the clone, then motioned with his chin toward the group of Mist Ninja below. \"Go keep them busy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh heh~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow clone chuckled coldly at the command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, it dived toward the Mist Ninja and began using various jutsu to engage them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After observing for a moment and confirming the shadow clone wouldn't face significant danger as long as it remained airborne, Seimei carried the captured Aburame ninja in his hand and left the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the original Seimei fly away, leaving only a shadow clone behind, the Mist Ninja below felt both insulted and relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be fair, they genuinely had no effective means of dealing with Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he was gone, their burden lightened significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the shadow clone before them, while troublesome, it was ultimately just a clone with its inherent limitations. If they were willing to pay a price, defeating it wasn't impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was far easier to handle than the real Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Seimei paid no attention to the fight between his shadow clone and the Mist Ninja. After habitually linking it with the Mind Transmission Jutsu, he left at high speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traveling at over 100 meters per second, he flew for about five minutes, covering a distance of more than 30 kilometers from the battlefield before halting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scanning the area with his Byakugan's vision, he located an unoccupied forest and descended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Thud!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roughly tossed the Aburame ninja to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second, two seconds, three seconds...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a full minute, Seimei suddenly spoke. \"Alright, stop pretending. I know you're awake!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aburame ninja on the ground remained motionless, his breathing even and steady, as if still unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Seimei shook his head and spoke again. \"If you don't act now, you'll lose your chance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he finished speaking this time, the Aburame ninja's breathing abruptly changed. In an instant, he sprang to his feet like a cannonball, launching himself at Seimei with a kunai in hand aimed directly at Seimei's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notably, he kept his eyes shut, clearly to guard against Seimei's Sharingan illusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of a tool trained by the Root Division, his combat instincts remained sharp even in this situation, truly commendable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, no amount of cunning matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long before this, Seimei had detected the acceleration of the ninja's chakra flow with his Byakugan—a clear sign of awakening—and had prepared accordingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without such forewarning, the opponent's attack would still fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Aburame ninja closed in, Seimei activated his Mangekyō Sharingan with just a thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single streak of blood-red tear slid down his left cheek as he activated *Amatsukami*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Seimei and the rest of the world seemed to exist in separate dimensions, completely isolated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the outside world, Seimei's body appeared to vanish suddenly, along with his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, the Aburame ninja opened his eyes and scanned his surroundings, his expression filled with uncertainty and confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he prepared to release his insects to conduct a wider search, Seimei's figure reappeared—standing right in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aburame ninja's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately tried to close his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment their eyes met, Seimei cast *Genjutsu: Sharingan*, dragging the ninja's consciousness into an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei didn't let his guard down, though. In a flash, he reached out and grabbed a burning explosive tag hidden in the ninja's left palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the ninja's plan had been to self-destruct the moment his assassination attempt failed, even resorting to luring Seimei into proximity to ensure his success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Seimei had only a Three Tomoe Sharingan, he might have been caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the Mangekyō Sharingan's heightened perception and Byakugan's support, there was no chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a cold snort, Seimei tossed the explosive tag aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Boom!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening explosion erupted, sending shockwaves rippling outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unmoved, Seimei stood his ground, letting the blast settle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When calm returned, he began interrogating the Root ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right. He was now certain that this man belonged to Danzo's Root Division.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No other faction would produce ninjas so utterly devoid of reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing to exert his *Genjutsu: Sharingan*, Seimei delved into the ninja's memories for information on the mission, skillfully bypassing those protected by sealing techniques and targeting only the unguarded ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This approach greatly reduced the time needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about fifteen minutes, Seimei ended the genjutsu and began organizing the information he had gleaned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, this man was indeed an Aburame ninja named Aburame Muying, also known by his Root code name—Shadow Bug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through his memories, Seimei learned that Muying had further developed the Aburame clan's *Destruction Bugs* into *Mimicry Bugs*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the name suggested, these insects could help their host hide and alter their aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While seemingly minor, the technique caught Danzo's attention, leading him to recruit Muying through Aburame Ryo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After professional training and mastering a forbidden jutsu capable of replicating an enemy's height, build, and appearance, Muying became a flawless spy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't his real appearance but rather a replication of a Mist Ninja named Nishikawa Sei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using this disguise, he had infiltrated the Mist Ninja squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for his true face...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget it. Without another target, this was his permanent appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This transformation jutsu was precisely why it was considered forbidden; no one wanted to lose their identity permanently, not even ANBU members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Root operatives under Danzo could endure such practices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei didn't care about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he cared about was this mission's true goal and whether there were accomplices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, Seimei closed his eyes again to sift through the ninja's memories for relevant intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, he opened them, a sharp killing intent flashing within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*(End of Chapter)*\u003C\u002Fp>",1077,"2026-06-06T03:30:56.197Z",1,"novelbin.me","8dcdd6d60b09b84071957dd8bc02a922f8d2227c6caf5df1b825575a6755c4e0","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-533","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-531",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
