Even with Seimei's reinforcement, they remained outnumbered and at a disadvantage in terms of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with Seimei having already taken down two Jōnin, their earlier disadvantage seemed negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei quickly scanned the battlefield, taking in the expressions of everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without paying further attention to the gravely injured Kitano Ichirō, he immediately charged at the Special Jōnin he had been pursuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intended to capitalize on this momentum to completely shatter the Mist shinobi's psychological defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by doing so could the battle be concluded as quickly as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they seemed to have turned the tables and could potentially wipe out the Mist shinobi present, the reality was far from optimistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the current state of the battlefield, Seimei was almost certain that if they delayed any longer, reinforcements from the Mist would inevitably arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that happened, a large-scale battle would be unavoidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Seimei had no concerns about his own safety, given the choice, he preferred not to get entangled in such a conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to a bloody battle with the Mist shinobi, he much preferred the quiet pursuit of his training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long ago, he had perfected his \"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere\" along with three other ninjutsu. The next one to master was the \"Rasengan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his current pace, he estimated he would achieve mastery as early as today, or by tomorrow at the latest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once that happened, he would gain another perfected A-rank offensive ninjutsu, which would significantly enhance his strength and greatly benefit his training in the \"Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such goals in mind, he had no interest in wasting time fighting the Mist shinobi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for being caught up in this turmoil and temporarily unable to escape, he wouldn't even have wanted to step onto this battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Seimei had already reached his target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blade swung, its light gleaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost simultaneously, Seimei executed both \"Illusory Blade Technique\" and \"Shadow Blade Technique.\" Six blade shadows—three illusory and three real—struck at the target from different angles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unlike Tamura Shinji, this Mist Special Jōnin had sharper senses and immediately discerned the three illusory blade shadows created by the \"Illusory Blade Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, he still couldn't block Seimei's attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his senses were sharper than Tamura Shinji's, his close-combat skills were inferior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, even after identifying the three illusory blade shadows and ruling out three incorrect options, he still lacked the ability to defend against the remaining three real blade shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he had no choice but to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment Seimei severely injured Kitano Ichiro, the distance between them gave him just enough time to react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, given the opponent's close-combat skills, his outcome wouldn't have been much better than Tamura Shinji's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his initial strike missed, Seimei didn't hesitate. He stepped forward, keeping up with his opponent's retreat, and swung his blade again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the opportunity to use techniques like \"Phantom Sword Art\" or \"Shadow Sword Art\" didn't arise due to the short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, the Mist's Special Jonin before him could only defend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang, clang, clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as before, once Seimei engaged his opponent in close quarters, it only took a few moves before another wound appeared on the enemy's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the dire situation, several competent Mist Chunin surrounded them, trying to assist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to act launched over a dozen shuriken aimed at various parts of Seimei's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's Sharingan scanned the area, taking all the shuriken into view. With a swift motion of his long blade, he easily deflected them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was about to continue his pursuit of the Mist Special Jonin when a sudden wave of chakra surged from behind a tree to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head, Seimei spotted a Mist Chunin who had just completed a hand seal, emerging from behind the tree, preparing to unleash a jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfazed, Seimei raised his left hand and rapidly formed hand seals. In an instant, he executed a jutsu: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames spewed from his mouth, transforming into a spinning fireball that hurtled toward the Mist Chunin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same moment, the Mist Chunin released a water stream from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two attacks collided, a sharp hissing sound erupted. Steam filled the air, resembling a dense white mist that blanketed a large area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Seimei swept his gaze around and immediately realized that this white mist was not just steam but also artificially created fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone is using the Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!\" Seimei thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he flashed out of his original position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whizz, whizz, whizz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several kunai shot toward where he had been, embedding themselves into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a burst of light erupted—the kunai had been rigged with explosive tags, which detonated instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fireballs appeared, dispersing the surrounding white mist. Simultaneously, waves of shock radiated outward from the explosions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he dead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone whispered within the mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before anyone could respond, a sudden gust of wind swept through. In the blink of an eye, the remaining mist was blown away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but the surrounding trees swayed violently, their leaves falling in a rain-like shower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp warning rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, the sound of a blade slicing through flesh echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's figure appeared beside a Mist Chunin, his long blade slashing through the man's throat, severing his carotid artery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed out in a torrent, threatening to drench Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a faint blue light enveloped Seimei's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, he vanished from his spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reappeared, he was already beside another Mist Chunin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Chunin managed to react quickly, blocking Seimei's strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was futile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the split second they clashed, Seimei thrust out his left hand. The near-lv9 Rasengan swirled to life, slamming into the Chunin's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack, crack, crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of bones shattering reverberated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mist Chunin spat out a mouthful of blood before being sent flying.\u003C\u002Fp>",1198,"2026-06-06T03:30:57.572Z",1,"novelbin.me","58cdd222e7c44ec1724a179c904443cd2d87437703dda85b25855c930cb898a4","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-609","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-607",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
