Most of the Mist Genin and Chūnin had no chance to evade this attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was, after all, a secret technique passed down in the Konoha Anbu. Whether in terms of its effect or stealth, it far surpassed ordinary ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's more, Seimei had trained the technique to its peak proficiency, allowing him to use it with unparalleled skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, most of the targeted Mist Ninja were set ablaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to ensure these people wouldn't burn to death—allowing him to extract their chakra—he and his clones used only a minimal amount of chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, many of the Mist Ninja, while severely injured, managed to put out the flames on their bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei and his clones, dodging the incoming ninja tools aimed at them, swiftly appeared beside these scorched enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the flames were extinguished, they immediately captured their targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What followed was a simple process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei and his clones each used Chakra Absorption Technique, employing their captives as human shields to disrupt the attacks of other Mist Ninja while draining their chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the high efficiency of his Chakra Absorption Technique, nearing Level 7, he could completely drain a Mist Ninja's chakra within mere seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once their chakra was depleted, Seimei and his clones would repeat the process—engaging in close combat, employing ninjutsu or ninja tools, and incapacitating another group before capturing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the process wasn't entirely smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not all of his captives were cooperative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some Mist Ninja tried to take him down with them, while others on the periphery attacked without regard for their comrades' safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When faced with enemies seeking mutual destruction, he would disrupt their plans through genjutsu or disable their ability to self-destruct, continuing to absorb their chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those who were impossible to stop, he would simply discard them without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for those who recklessly attacked without concern for their allies, they inevitably became Seimei's next targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, after just three or four rounds, the Mist Ninja surrounding him completely lost their will to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the corpses scattered around, they no longer dared to attack proactively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for them, their hesitation didn't mean Seimei would let them go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as neither his own chakra nor that of his clones reached full capacity, he wouldn't stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, a one-sided massacre began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei and his clones moved like cold, unfeeling machines. Their crimson Sharingan eyes reflected no emotion—only the silhouettes of their next targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever they passed, blood and carnage followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, a few Mist Jōnin who had defeated Konoha Jōnin tried to intervene. But facing Seimei's relentless assault, they were no match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If lucky, they might escape with their lives; if not, they were cut down on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, these Mist Jōnin had sustained injuries in their previous battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his extraordinary regenerative abilities and advanced medical ninjutsu, even minor wounds healed almost instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disparity was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by, second by second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after half an hour of Seimei's ruthless slaughter, the remaining Mist Ninja could no longer endure and began to retreat in disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to crumble were the Genin closest to him, followed by the Chūnin he was engaged with, and finally the Jōnin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Defeat is contagious, spreading like a landslide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the Jōnin could have held on longer, but the mass retreat of Chūnin and Genin forced them to withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, no matter how skilled they were, there were only about a dozen of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If surrounded by Konoha's forces, even escape would be impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, as the lower-ranked ninjas fled, the Jōnin had no choice but to cover the retreat, holding back Konoha's pursuers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, as most of the surviving Mist Ninja broke away from the Konoha forces, several Mist Jōnin immediately combined their efforts to unleash Water Release: Exploding Water Shockwave, attempting to scatter the Konoha Ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Seimei wasn't about to let Konoha's forces miss such a prime opportunity for pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the Mist Jōnin's actions through his Sharingan, he immediately leapt to the front of the Konoha ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, several Konoha Jōnin had prepared to combine their efforts to counter the Mist Jōnin's attack. But seeing Seimei take the lead, they quickly stepped aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being fellow Jōnin, they knew a bit about Seimei's capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among his known strengths, his vast chakra reserves were the most notable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this situation, having a large chakra pool was the greatest advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, after the intense battle earlier, they were eager to conserve chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this unspoken understanding, they ceded the position to Seimei without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei wasted no time. Upon reaching the front, he swiftly formed hand seals and unleashed his own Water Release: Exploding Water Shockwave!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mist Jōnin, aiming to maximize their technique's effectiveness, had to account for their allies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei, acting alone, had no such concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though a step behind in forming seals, he still managed to synchronize his attack with theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, two massive waves collided with a thunderous roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being made of water, the sheer volume of these waves crashing together caused the ground to quake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening sound reverberated as a towering wall of water, over ten meters high, rose between the two sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was only the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As both Seimei and the Mist Jōnin continued channeling chakra into their respective waves, the water wall grew higher and higher—surpassing 20 meters, then 25, then 30.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, when both sides reached their limits, the struggle came to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Support me by leaving a comment, voting, and visiting my Patreon at belamy20\u003C\u002Fp>",1093,"2026-06-06T03:30:57.572Z",1,"novelbin.me","a0dccb8fb207e578eb38cf2d9388028849070d660aa8caae3c00db81decfcfd9","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-626","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-624",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
