They're nothing less than embodiments of calamity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As elite ninjas, they didn't harbor the same fear as ordinary people. However, they were acutely aware of the overwhelming disparity in combat power between themselves and a tailed beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, facing a tailed beast was undeniably dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why Seimei?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, this question emerged in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's reputation wasn't unfamiliar. Some had even witnessed his strength firsthand. Though impressive, it wasn't leagues above their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone of his level, going against a tailed beast seemed somewhat lacking in logic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Nara Kigari wouldn't have arranged for Seimei to throw his life away without reason. There had to be a rationale behind his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, it was concluded that Seimei must possess exceptional qualities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be because he can fly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This explanation crossed the minds of several Konoha Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the ability to fly would offer a significant advantage when dealing with tailed beasts. Not only would it provide a measure of safety, but it could also help draw the beast's attention—a useful support role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, that must be it,\" the Jonin silently affirmed, believing they'd deduced Kigari's reasoning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Uchiha Shisui had a different perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt there was more to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time he encountered Seimei, Shisui couldn't shake a subtle feeling of oppression. Despite his own significant growth in strength, he still didn't feel confident in defeating Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei always seemed inscrutable to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This instinctively gave Shisui greater confidence in Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he believed Nara Kigari's decision to assign Seimei as support wasn't solely based on his ability to fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, that was exactly the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Seimei reported his ambush encounter previously, Kigari had conducted a covert investigation. What he discovered confirmed that Seimei's strength was far greater than it appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Kigari had suspected as much before—hence Seimei's critical role in the Yotsugo Harbor operation—this new information revealed he had still underestimated Seimei's potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This newfound understanding prompted him to assign Seimei to assist Minato Namikaze, ensuring a double-layered safety net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a proponent of peace, Kigari was determined to bring an end to the ongoing war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he was willing to go to great lengths to fulfill the mission entrusted to him by Hiruzen Sarutobi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others' thoughts were unknown to Seimei—and he didn't care. Upon receiving the mission, he was more pleased than anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he learned the Six-Tails had appeared at the Red Tree Outpost, he resolved to make contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to capture it—though he wouldn't mind doing so if he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he lacked the necessary means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Mangekyo Sharingan, he might control the Six-Tails for a short time. But then what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His current eyes weren't Eternal Mangekyo, so prolonged activation wasn't feasible. Even with Eternal Mangekyo, sustaining control over a tailed beast would drain him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, he'd need sealing techniques to handle it properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But aside from the Guardian Seal and Sealing Array, Seimei knew no advanced sealing techniques. Capturing a tailed beast was out of the question for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why insist on making contact?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simple—to test whether his Level 6 Chakra Absorption Technique could work on a tailed beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal wasn't the beast's combat power but its near-limitless chakra supply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Determining whether their chakra could be absorbed was crucial. Capturing one without this ability would be pointless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Seimei had planned to use Shadow Clone Jutsu and Transformation Jutsu to test the waters covertly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with Kigari's orders, he had a legitimate reason to approach the Six-Tails without arousing suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he not be pleased?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the danger?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truthfully, Seimei wasn't overly concerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Uchiha clan's Sharingan naturally countered tailed beasts, and his incredible flight speed was enough to evade most threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he had Heaven's Dominion as a trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even that wasn't enough, no one in the shinobi world could hope to face a tailed beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meeting concluded swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After bidding his teammates farewell, Seimei activated Wind Release: Wings of the Wind and soared high into the air toward the Red Tree Outpost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within minutes, he arrived at his destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below him was a sprawling red mangrove forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the forest's center was a small fortress-like settlement, with two large gates on its east and west sides connecting to the main road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Red Tree Outpost—now reduced to ruins. Flames still smoldered within its charred remains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the Six-Tails hadn't left long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing his eyes, Seimei focused intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, he sensed a faint oppressive aura lingering in the air—residual chakra from the tailed beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without delay, Seimei opened his eyes and followed the trail forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he heard faint explosions from the right—a telltale sound of explosive tags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Years of battlefield experience allowed him to instantly recognize it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasting no time, Seimei performed a hand seal, unsealing the Guardian Seal on his forehead, and activated his Byakugan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, his field of vision expanded to encompass everything within a kilometer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his right, he saw a battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly a hundred Konoha ninjas were desperately holding off an equal number of Mist ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Further ahead, he spotted another smaller skirmish, with fewer than 150 ninjas total on both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This discrepancy puzzled Seimei briefly, but observing the battlefield clarified things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Konoha forces, which included many lower-ranked ninjas, the Mist forces comprised almost entirely of highly skilled Chunin or Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given this disparity, it was unsurprising the Konoha forces suffered greater losses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After ensuring they could hold their ground for the moment, Seimei resealed his Byakugan and flew back toward his team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Establishing a connection using Mind Communication Jutsu, he relayed the situation to his teammates, urging them to prepare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having set things in motion, Seimei turned his attention back to the battlefield, ready to engage and hold the line until reinforcements arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Six-Tails in the distance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced in its direction briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's the rush? His mission was support, not a direct assault. The immediate battle demanded his attention first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Seimei flapped his wings and accelerated toward the fray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>read more inpatreon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>belamy20\u003C\u002Fp>",1058,"2026-06-06T03:30:56.716Z",1,"novelbin.me","08eeed2137ab7ef6009e22c8440dbf64c41a8a6ebdb4702bf445b8bbb7c4afd8","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-566","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-564",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
