Despite some hesitation, they had yet to actually withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This miscalculation cost them their last chance for a clean retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Uchiha Shisui and his team finally reached the battlefield, Seimei, using his Sharingan, could clearly see the panic written across many faces within the Mist Ninja ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear they had not anticipated Konoha's reinforcements to arrive so swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Shisui's team was small in number, their elite status as powerful Jōnin was far more intimidating than dozens or hundreds of lesser-ranked ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admittedly, Shisui and his team had pushed themselves hard to arrive quickly, leaving their chakra and stamina partially depleted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Jōnin were Jōnin—far beyond the capabilities of most lower- and mid-ranked ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earlier struggle at the Red Tree outpost had been due to a lack of high-tier combatants on Konoha's side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's earlier arrival had partially mitigated this disadvantage, easing the pressure on his comrades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with Shisui and his team bolstering their ranks, Konoha's shortfall in high-end power was completely addressed, leaving no room for further hesitation among the Mist Ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the tide of battle, Uchiha Shisui and his team wasted no time, diving straight into combat with the most formidable Mist Jōnin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Konoha's forces were reinvigorated and launched a full-scale counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Sky\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overlooking the battlefield, Seimei nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flapping his wings, he soared towards another nearby battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, this area had hosted 70–80 Mist Ninja. Seimei's relentless harassment over the past hour had reduced their numbers to fewer than 50.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Konoha's forces also suffered, dropping from over 50 to around 40.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the two sides were nearly evenly matched, with one-on-one skirmishes dominating the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Mist Ninja still held the upper hand. They not only outnumbered Konoha slightly but also boasted stronger average individual strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had it not been for Seimei's constant ambushes, the Konoha ninjas here might have already been defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in the midst of combat, the Mist Ninja frequently glanced at the sky, wary of another attack from Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their fears soon materialized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Mist Ninja maintained their vigilance, Seimei's figure once again appeared in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, their offensive slowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their gazes flickered to the sky as they braced themselves for his next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, Seimei had no intention of launching a sneak attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hovering openly above them, he descended closer before unleashing a storm of Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique and Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suspended in mid-air, Seimei watched as the Mist Ninja scrambled to evade his attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they briefly let down their guard, he suddenly dived at full speed, dodging a barrage of kunai and shuriken before landing amidst the Mist Ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, his enemies were stunned, but this quickly turned to elation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, they had been powerless against Seimei's aerial assaults—not because of his overwhelming strength, but because they simply couldn't reach him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had voluntarily abandoned his airborne advantage, they weren't about to waste the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pin him down!\" a Mist Jōnin bellowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the command, the surrounding Mist Chūnin abandoned their current opponents and surged toward Seimei, as if afraid he might take flight again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Konoha's ninjas were momentarily dumbfounded by this development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would Seimei, whose aerial harassment had been so effective, suddenly ground himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, his decision seemed foolish. At most, it added one more Jōnin to their ranks—hardly a game-changer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite their doubts, the nearby Konoha ninjas acted quickly. Without hesitation, they pursued the Mist Ninja, attempting to stall them and buy Seimei time to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei had no intention of leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Shisui and his team handling the other battlefield, Seimei was free to take a more aggressive approach here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He aimed to eliminate the Mist Ninja, not merely stall them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More importantly, Seimei had a personal motive—chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past three days, he had avoided targeting larger groups of Mist Ninja, prioritizing safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had limited the chakra he could absorb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, surveying the dozens of Mist Ninja before him, Seimei saw a golden opportunity he couldn't pass up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swiftly formed hand seals and unleashed the Chakra Absorption Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darting behind an approaching Mist Chūnin, he seized the ninja by the neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a torrent of chakra surged into Seimei's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mist Chūnin, feeling his chakra drain uncontrollably, was overcome with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attempting to resist, he found his efforts futile as Seimei used a Chakra Scalpel to sever his nervous system, leaving him completely paralyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his victim incapacitated, Seimei absorbed every last drop of his chakra, spiritual energy, and physical energy before discarding the lifeless body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using Body Flicker Technique, Seimei moved on to his next target, employing the same ruthless efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than a minute, Seimei drained five Mist Chūnin of their chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the Mist Ninja begin to understand their dire situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their earlier fervor had blinded them to Seimei's true capabilities. Now, faced with his overwhelming power, they finally grasped the futility of their resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their initial recklessness had stemmed from a Jōnin's orders and their pent-up frustration after Seimei's relentless hit-and-run tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in their desperation to vent, they had picked the wrong target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>read more inpatreon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>belamy20\u003C\u002Fp>",999,"2026-06-06T03:30:56.716Z",1,"novelbin.me","c87aeb3a0ba524e1b5e30eeb1ae8dd28b2b1dc6ea2d213abf4dc9423222f558b","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-568","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-566",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
