He had noticed the battle between Seimei and Nishimura Shihei for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, these two were still fighting back and forth, but in the blink of an eye, Nishimura Shihei was already dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he and Nishimura Shihei were not very familiar, they had met a few times, and he had a certain understanding of his strength. The other party was not the best among Chunin, but at least much stronger than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the other party was killed, and it was killed by a little kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doesn't that mean that this little kid's strength is far superior to his?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Seimei's neat clothes, Hirai Ichiro became more and more certain of his guess, but there was nothing to be happy about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stronger the enemy, the more dangerous his situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What to do?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hirai Ichiro glanced around, trying to find a helper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unfortunately, the number of Iwa-nin was not dominant, and after more than 20 minutes of melee, there were even fewer survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, all the slightly stronger Iwa-nin around were being besieged by two or three Konoha ninjas, and they couldn't spare any time to help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So, I can only rely on myself.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this in his heart, Hirai Ichiro quickly threw the kunai in his hand, then formed seals with both hands, as if to perform some ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Seimei dodged the incoming kunai, and at the same time quickly formed the six seals of 'Zi-Yin-Xu-Chou-Mao-Yin'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately afterwards, he took a deep breath, gathered the Fire Release Chakra in his throat, and then spit it out continuously like a machine gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, flames like balsam seeds appeared continuously, densely packed, and flew towards Hirai Ichiro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Hirai Ichiro's hands that were forming seals unconsciously stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was why it was so fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, why so fast?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer is simple. Ever since Seimei focused on improving the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique' among the three Fire Release ninjutsu, his proficiency has grown rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although only about a quarter of his chakra is used on this technique every day, its level has also soared to lv3 (226\u002F1000).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this level of proficiency, when facing an average Chunin, it's not about dimensionality reduction, but it's not a problem to achieve a latecomer advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like now, although Seimei performed ninjutsu a little later than the opponent, he was the first to perform it in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This caused Hirai Ichiro to be stuck in a dilemma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he continued to perform ninjutsu, he would inevitably be attacked by Seimei's ninjutsu. If he gave up performing it, the time he had previously gained would be wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the sake of his own life, he could only give up temporarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he still couldn't dodge attacks while performing ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I saw that after Hirai Ichiro was stunned for a while, he immediately retreated, trying to avoid Seimei's ninjutsu attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wanted to retreat, but someone didn't want him to leave like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the side, Mizutani Shizuko seized the opportunity and decisively took action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh whoosh whoosh~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several shurikens flew out, aiming directly at Hirai Ichiro's vital points all over his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the danger, Hirai Ichiro hurriedly dodged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his strength was indeed very average. Although he dodged the shuriken thrown by Mizutani Shizuko, his arm was grazed by a fireball spit out by Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a burning sensation came from his left arm, causing Hirai Ichiro to frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei keenly captured this detail, so he used the 'Body Flicker Technique' to close the distance and launched an attack on the opponent from the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hirai Ichiro dodged left and right, not daring to confront him head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the more this happened, the more Seimei wanted to force the opponent to fight head-on. His left arm was already injured, and as long as he focused on attacking this half of the opponent's body, he would soon make progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after dodging several swords in a row, Hirai Ichiro had to fight Seimei head-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as Seimei expected, not long after the fight, the opponent was severely injured, and his entire left arm was almost cut off by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tick tock~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlet blood flowed down his arm, through his palm, and finally dripped from his fingertips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hirai Ichiro felt the pain from his left arm, but he didn't dare to take his eyes away from Seimei's sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was only a brief fight, he already understood how strong Seimei's swordsmanship was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder Nishimura Shihei fell into his hands. With this kind of swordsmanship, let alone Chunin, even Jonin, he might be able to fight a few moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he didn't dare to look away, for fear that Seimei would suddenly launch an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the current situation, there was no need for Seimei to launch any surprise attacks. Normal combat was enough to deal with the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Seimei jumped up, followed by the clanging sound of short swords and kunai clashing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two minutes later, accompanied by the sound of a blade piercing flesh, Seimei seized an opportunity and stabbed the short sword into Hirai Ichiro's lower abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puff~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mouthful of blood spurted from Hirai Ichiro's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the last moment of his life, Hirai Ichiro activated an explosive tag, trying to grab Seimei's arm and die with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the opponent was already at the end of his rope, and his movements were slow. Before he could make a move, Seimei had already distanced himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a violent explosion sounded, and a crimson flame rose, instantly engulfing Hirai Ichiro.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until this moment that Mizutani Shizuko came over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the previous battle, the pace was too fast, and Mizutani Shizuko couldn't intervene at all, so she simply recovered her strength on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ninja's endurance was far superior to ordinary people, and in just a short while, Mizutani Shizuko had recovered a lot of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other party coming over, Seimei was about to say something when another person suddenly appeared beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizutani Shizuko still had some stress reactions and immediately raised the kunai in her hand, while Seimei didn't make any movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that his reaction was slower than Mizutani Shizuko's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, it was precisely because he saw the person's face clearly that he didn't act rashly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who came was none other than the captain of their small teams, named Haruki Sei, who was a special Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haruki Sei ignored Mizutani Shizuko's overreaction and directly ordered: \"You guys go to E3 area immediately and obey the orders of the second squad captain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, without any hesitation, he immediately ran in another direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei followed the opponent's footsteps and saw that there were two Konoha Chunin who had just dealt with the enemy and were taking a short rest. He immediately understood that the opponent was gathering people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'E3 area?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Isn't this another route from the Iwa-nin headquarters to that logistics base?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Could it be that Iwagakure Village has sent people again?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he thought about it, the more Seimei felt it was possible, and he couldn't help but curse\u003C\u002Fp>",1426,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","bfd13a64de72eb8313f1c07cfe8027811085bc44b9bd1cb0f36f23f9f7779b95","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-62","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-60",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
