Their gazes ranged from wary to curious, with some even showing open defiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their reactions quickly caught the attention of the Konoha ninjas, who also turned their eyes upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Mist ninjas, who were alarmed by Seimei's identity, the Konoha ninjas were visibly excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the fame of the \"Twin Stars of Konoha\" was well-known. Both were said to be highly skilled Jonin. At this critical juncture, they wouldn't even complain about getting a Genin as reinforcements, let alone a powerful Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure on them had been immense. If not for sheer determination, they might have crumbled already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with Seimei's arrival, they could finally feel some relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if Seimei was here, could other reinforcements also be close behind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mere thought rekindled their hope, strengthening their resolve and pulling their shattered spirits back together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the impact of Seimei's presence. Even without taking action yet, his appearance alone gave the Konoha ninjas a few more minutes of resilience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei scanned the crowd below, taking in their varied expressions. Then, without a word, he dived lower and hurled a single shuriken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mist ninjas were stunned for a moment. Seeing Seimei charging in so aggressively, they had expected a powerful ninjutsu or a direct confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single shuriken?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had gotten worked up for nothing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Konoha ninjas were equally confused. If you're going to throw a shuriken, at least throw a few more. What's the point of just one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before their thoughts could settle, Seimei suddenly raised his hands and quickly formed the seals: Ox → Dog → Dragon → Rat → Dog → Boar → Snake → Tiger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the single shuriken he had thrown split into shadows—one became two, two became four, four became eight...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In mere moments, the sky was filled with dozens, if not hundreds, of shuriken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Seimei's first time using this technique in front of so many people, but he didn't worry about Hiruzen Sarutobi finding out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, this jutsu was originally developed by Sarutobi, but it was based on the Shadow Clone Jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Seimei had already mastered the Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu, borrowing inspiration to create a similar technique wasn't a big deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, others would marvel at his genius, not jump to wild conclusions. Besides, Sarutobi was generally kind and supportive toward younger ninja. Even if he found out, he likely wouldn't mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Seimei executed the technique without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, both allies and enemies were stunned as the sky darkened with countless shuriken. For a moment, every ninja, whether Konoha or Mist, felt the instinct to dodge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Konoha ninjas quickly realized something: none of the shuriken were aimed at them. The targets were exclusively the Mist ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, three days ago, Seimei couldn't have achieved such precision. But in the last three days, he had gained an additional 600,000 chakra points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He allocated 300,000 points each to \"Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu\" and \"Chakra Cloak,\" leveling both skills up once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu advanced from Lv4 (625\u002F2000) to Lv5 (625\u002F5000), while Chakra Cloak progressed from Lv4 (1330\u002F2000) to Lv5 (2330\u002F5000).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crossing the threshold from Lv4 to Lv5 marked a significant transformation, giving Seimei much greater control over the cloned shuriken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From his elevated vantage point, he could see everyone's positions clearly, enabling him to avoid harming allies while targeting enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, the attack, while impressive, didn't cause much damage. After all, the Mist ninjas below were at least Chunin level, and a few shuriken alone weren't enough to take them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, his assault disrupted their rhythm, giving the Konoha ninjas a much-needed breather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After executing the Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu, Seimei swiftly ascended to avoid retaliatory attacks from the Mist ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then found another opening, dived again—this time even faster—and launched another jutsu:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames erupted like seeds from a phoenix flower, each fireball shooting down like a bullet toward the Mist ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the shuriken barrage had been something they could block, these fireballs forced them to dodge. Deflecting every fireball with jutsu would waste far too much chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their evasive maneuvers gave the Konoha ninjas a critical opportunity. Some used it to recover chakra, while others launched counterattacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either way, the Konoha ninjas were no longer entirely on the defensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was Seimei's goal all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of defeating all the Mist ninjas—his objective was to stall for time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though some clever Mist ninjas quickly realized his strategy, knowing the problem didn't mean they could solve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They tried attacking Seimei to neutralize his influence, but with his maxed-out \"Wind Release: Wind Wings,\" his speed and aerial agility far exceeded their expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As such, they couldn't lay a finger on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Seimei didn't push them too hard. Whenever he saw that the Konoha ninjas had regained some ground, he would shift to another part of the battlefield and repeat the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tactics were simple but effective: drag it out.\u003C\u002Fp>",917,"2026-06-06T03:30:56.716Z",1,"novelbin.me","37c0cb3277b10ae5630458ae941c9fe7b5570a80c61e457323e0ecf7733a7f28","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-567","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-565",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
