Clang! Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle raged on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei activated his Sharingan with three tomoe to its fullest extent, carefully observing the movements of his three opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one point, he suddenly stepped back, narrowly avoiding Kuroki Izumiya's kunai aimed at his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for Kuroki to adjust his stance, Seimei swung his blade in a fierce slash, aiming directly at Kuroki's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuroki glanced to his sides, realizing that his two allies couldn't assist in time. He immediately retracted his kunai to block Seimei's strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kunai collided with Seimei's blade, emitting a deep, metallic sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks flew from the clash, and a powerful force surged forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuroki's expression shifted slightly as he stepped back to dissipate some of the impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Seimei was relentless. Seeing his opponent retreat, he immediately followed up with another slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuroki hurriedly raised his kunai to block once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar metallic sound rang out once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force from the strike traveled through the kunai. Having barely regained his footing after the previous clash, Kuroki was forced to retreat again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's eyes glimmered. He stepped forward once more, swinging his blade yet again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang! Clang! Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a series of three consecutive strikes, Kuroki managed to block all of them but couldn't maintain his stance. He was sent flying by the sheer force of Seimei's attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhaling softly, Seimei flickered away from his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost instantly after he moved, a Mist Special Jonin stabbed at his previous location with a kunai, piercing through only an afterimage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another Mist Special Jonin threw several shuriken toward Seimei's new position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's Sharingan spun rapidly, locking onto the incoming shuriken. He swung his blade, deflecting each one with precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he sheathed his blade and quickly formed hand seals, unleashing a jutsu toward the three opponents—Water Release: Water Severing Wave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzzzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high-pressure stream of water shot from Seimei's mouth like a sharp cutting blade. With a turn of his head, the stream swept across the area ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, having seen him use this jutsu against Fukui Takuichi earlier, Kuroki and his team were prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dodged almost simultaneously, evading the attack and halting their advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the moment, Seimei targeted the nearest Mist Special Jonin and performed another jutsu—Fire Release: Incineration Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's hand seals were so fast that the Mist Special Jonin couldn't discern which jutsu was being used. Instinctively, he dodged to the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, a knowing smile appeared on Seimei's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing Seimei's expression, Sugiyama Daichi felt a pang of unease and tried to stop himself and change direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burst of flames ignited, engulfing his clothing and quickly spreading to consume his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sugiyama's agonized screams echoed as he desperately tried to extinguish the flames, to no avail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei hadn't held back this time, expending nearly a thousand chakra points. The jutsu's power was far beyond what he had previously used against the Mist Chunin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sugiyama, unable to extinguish the flames, suffered their full fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Seimei's success was partly due to the intelligence he had gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, while engaging Kuroki and his team, Seimei noticed Sugiyama's habitual tendency to dodge right when faced with uncertain attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Seimei recreated a similar scenario. Sugiyama reacted instinctively, dodging to the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against a seasoned Jonin, such a habit would usually be inconsequential. But Seimei anticipated this behavior, aiming his attack at the predicted dodge path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Sugiyama realized the danger, it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daichi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining Mist Special Jonin, seeing Sugiyama consumed by flames, quickly formed hand seals to use a water jutsu to extinguish the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his actions were within Seimei's calculations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dodging a kunai thrown by Kuroki, Seimei formed hand seals for another jutsu—Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flame bullets resembling phoenix flower seeds shot out, each controlled by Seimei to target Kuroki and the Mist Special Jonin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught off guard, the two were forced to evade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the disruption, the Mist Special Jonin managed to complete a water jutsu, dousing Sugiyama and extinguishing the flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzzzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of steam hissed as water met fire, and Sugiyama's screams intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Seimei didn't pay attention to Sugiyama. His gaze fixed on the Special Jonin who had just completed the water jutsu. Seimei formed a new hand seal, unleashing Wind Release: Blade of Wind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nearly invisible half-meter-long wind blade appeared and sliced through the air toward the Mist Special Jonin's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuroki's warning came just in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of flesh being cut echoed as a wound appeared on the Mist Special Jonin's neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the blade didn't decapitate him as Seimei had hoped, Kuroki's warning and the Jonin's reflexes allowed him to narrowly avoid a fatal blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it,\" Seimei muttered, retreating quickly to avoid another kunai, this one with an explosive tag attached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosion rocked the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei shielded himself from the blast and smoke with his hands while continuing to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a water column shot out from the smoke, aiming directly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Seimei's earlier Water Severing Wave, this water jutsu had a broader diameter and focused more on its impact force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei sidestepped the attack without hesitation, only to face another water column.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, instead of dodging, Seimei quickly formed hand seals. Just before the water struck, he unleashed Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive shark-shaped water jutsu devoured the incoming water column, growing larger as it absorbed the attack, before lunging toward its origin.\u003C\u002Fp>",931,"2026-06-06T03:30:57.572Z",1,"novelbin.me","0e5240809a631c0cb71c03ba9c0220687e435052bdc7713abb28bf4690154308","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-623","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-621",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
