Calmly, he said, \"Alright, your turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone was flat, but the killing intent within his words was unmistakable and unrestrained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an ordinary person or a novice shinobi had been present, they would likely have collapsed from sheer terror, utterly losing their will to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these Root shinobi were neither ordinary nor inexperienced rookies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trained under brutal conditions, their willpower was extraordinary. They showed no reaction to Seimei's killing intent, their expressions remaining stoic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, as soon as Seimei spoke, they acted first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the sealing barrier no longer a concern, their attacks came swiftly and decisively, starting with ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading the assault was the same Root jonin who had previously used Lightning Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within an instant, he completed his hand seals. With a flick of his right hand, a bolt of electricity shot toward Seimei at incredible speed—so fast that even an average jonin might struggle to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to Seimei, this was child's play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when suppressed by the sealing barrier, his Sharingan could track such attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, evading might have been difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Clang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A longsword was unsheathed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint azure glow enveloped Seimei's body as he activated **Instant Blade Technique**.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, his speed surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incoming lightning narrowly missed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, Seimei appeared at the side of the Root jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Swish!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blade flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei swung his sword toward the opponent's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the danger, the Root jonin immediately ducked, evading the attack while thrusting a hidden kunai from his sleeve toward Seimei's abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, the kunai passed through Seimei's body without resistance, hitting only an afterimage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the jonin could react, Seimei had already appeared in front of another Root shinobi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, his target was the one specializing in soundwave-based ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shinobi had been preparing a jutsu, clearly intending to coordinate with the jonin from earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, with the suppression barrier gone, Seimei's speed left no room for such tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the longsword approached, the soundwave shinobi stepped back slightly, avoiding a fatal strike while completing his hand seals at lightning speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei hesitated momentarily. It was clear the shinobi intended to trade injuries with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Seimei struck, his opponent would be gravely injured or even killed. However, the ninjutsu being prepared would harm him in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if the remaining two Root shinobi seized the opportunity to attack, Seimei would be in real danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his hesitation lasted only a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a calculated plan in mind, Seimei pressed on, slashing directly at his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Slash!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of flesh being torn apart echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the Root shinobi's chest was sliced open, revealing a deep wound down to the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Splurt!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood gushed from the wound as the shinobi's face turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his injuries, the shinobi did not stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Seimei's gaze, the shinobi opened his mouth, releasing visible ripples into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a wave of inaudible sound penetrated Seimei's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Seimei felt a searing pain in his internal organs, and his face paled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Infrasound waves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei quickly identified the nature of the ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't due to extraordinary insight but rather experience—he had suffered from a similar technique used by a Mist shinobi in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, he had been on guard against sound-based ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That caution paid off. Combined with the chakra he had concentrated in his chest earlier, the damage from the infrasound wave was significantly mitigated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All ninjutsu relies on chakra to take effect, regardless of its form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By concentrating chakra, even without a counter-ninjutsu, one can block some of the damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, having a vast chakra reserve proved advantageous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Seimei now only had about one-fifth of his full chakra reserves, that was still over 25,000 points of chakra—a quantity sufficient to overwhelm many techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Seimei's injuries were not severe, leaving him able to move freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was all he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the attack landed, Seimei executed a swift roll, dodging the two remaining Root shinobi who attempted a sneak attack from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, had their ambush succeeded, he would have been in grave danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the key was that they had to succeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to his **Byakugan**, Seimei could see their every move. How could he possibly fall for their trap so easily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he dared to turn their strategy against them, using the opportunity to severely wound one opponent in exchange for manageable injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Seimei emerged victorious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soundwave specialist was now incapacitated, while Seimei's injuries were already healing rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>",990,"2026-06-06T03:30:56.197Z",1,"novelbin.me","a75d83e38bbb5535c3410781169d52c9923b751473367603f7a82dded05b9b2d","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-539","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-537",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
