However, without delay, he launched an attack on Seimei to prevent him from targeting Baku again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although, in Danzo's eyes, even a summoned beast like Baku was merely a tool, a valuable tool was something its master would naturally cherish, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Danzo still needed Baku's assistance to defeat Seimei. Naturally, he wouldn't let Seimei kill Baku so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he chose to act without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several kunai shot out rapidly, aimed directly at Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one were to look closely, they would notice explosive tags wrapped around the handles of the kunai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, even in a critical moment, Danzo had calculated his attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But such tactics were of no concern to Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Danzo made his move, Seimei's Byakugan detected him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head, Seimei's Mangekyo Sharingan instantly identified the hidden danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he executed a series of swift movements, dodging Danzo's sneak attack with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Baku had shaken off its initial shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking stock of the situation, it instinctively ran toward Danzo, attempting to regroup with him and launch a joint attack on Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after working so hard to separate them, how could Seimei allow them to reunite so easily?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had made a mistake earlier, giving his opponents a brief opportunity to counterattack, that opening had already been neutralized by his ability, Heavenly Dominion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now was the perfect time for him to press the advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom, boom, boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kunai missed their target and exploded midair, their attached explosive tags erupting with deafening blasts. Shockwaves rippled outward, centered on the explosions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei paid no mind to the chaos. He activated his Body Flicker Technique and, in a flash, closed the distance to Baku with astonishing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he moved, Seimei formed a series of hand signs, unleashing a ninjutsu technique—Fire Style: Ember Burn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently, a small flame appeared, igniting a patch of fur on Baku's back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this, Seimei immediately poured more chakra into the flame, causing it to swell rapidly, threatening to engulf Baku completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no surprise Seimei was being so meticulous—after all, as a summoned beast, Baku's ability to sense danger far exceeded that of humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unleashing a massive amount of chakra all at once might produce a larger flame, but it would also alert Baku prematurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Baku sensed the danger and fled, all Seimei's efforts would be for naught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, by dividing his actions into two steps, the results were vastly different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Baku failed to detect the true threat of the ninjutsu. Or perhaps it sensed something but couldn't discern Seimei's intentions, so it didn't evade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, as the flames suddenly intensified, Baku was caught completely off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The raging fire spread across its body, rapidly consuming much of its massive frame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Painful howls erupted from Baku as it struggled against the searing agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it had no choice but to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Baku was resourceful. In an instant, it decided to dive into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was worth noting that, as a summoned beast resembling feline species, aquatic environments were not its preferred habitat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this decision—to overcome its instincts—caught Seimei's attention for a brief moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was only for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his Byakugan fully activated, Seimei used its X-ray vision to track Baku's position underwater. When Baku resurfaced, Seimei swiftly appeared nearby with another flash step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his hand, Seimei immediately cast Water Style: Water Formation Wall, creating a towering barrier of water at his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, several air bullets shot out of Danzo's mouth, slamming into the water wall and creating ripples and whirlpools, but failing to penetrate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right—on the other side, Danzo hadn't been idle either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the opportunity while Seimei was targeting Baku, Danzo launched another sneak attack with his Wind Style: Vacuum Bullets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, without Baku's support this time, Danzo's ninjutsu failed to breach Seimei's water-style defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this, Seimei merely cast a fleeting glance at Danzo before paying him no further attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All his focus was now directed at the Mengmo, which had just emerged from the water a short distance away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to Seimei's deliberately chosen position, the moment the Mengmo broke the surface, their eyes met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at that exact moment, Seimei unleashed the \"Genjutsu: Sharingan,\" which he had prepared in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This technique, already mastered to perfection through relentless practice, was now further empowered by his Mangekyo Sharingan. The results, naturally, were extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In nearly an instant, the Mengmo's body froze in place, a reflection of the Sharingan appearing deep within its pupils. Its consciousness sank into the illusionary world crafted by Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Seimei's ocular prowess wasn't yet sufficient to control a tailed beast like Uchiha Madara could. However, it was more than enough to immobilize a lower-tier summoning beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at the now-paralyzed Mengmo, Seimei wasted no time. In a flash, he appeared directly before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, his right hand extended forward, and a massive, high-density chakra sphere materialized in his palm. Without hesitation, he slammed it into the Mengmo's head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no ordinary jutsu—it was a variant of the Rasengan: the Giant Rasengan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference between this technique and the standard Rasengan was its significantly larger chakra consumption, size, and destructive power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why he didn't opt for the \"Wind Style: Rasenshuriken,\" there were two reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, there simply wasn't enough time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that, almost simultaneously with him slamming the Giant Rasengan onto the Mengmo's head, Danzo had already closed in from behind, sword in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Seimei had chosen a technique requiring hand seals and one that he hadn't yet mastered, like the \"Wind Style: Rasenshuriken,\" Danzo's attack would have undoubtedly struck first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, Seimei wouldn't have had the chance to attack the Mengmo at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, the power of the Giant Rasengan was already sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of \"crack, crack, crack\" echoed as the bones in the Mengmo's skull fractured where the attack landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A torrent of blood gushed from its eyes, ears, nose, and mouth—it was clear the beast wouldn't survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this, Seimei could only remark that the \"Genjutsu: Sharingan,\" enhanced by the Mangekyo Sharingan, was truly terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a summoning beast as formidable as the Mengmo, once caught in the illusion, remained immobilized, unable to escape even in the face of mortal danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for this, the Mengmo might have made even the slightest evasive maneuver, which could have weakened the Giant Rasengan's impact and given it a chance at survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As these thoughts flashed through Seimei's mind, he quickly refocused, lowering his body just in time to narrowly dodge Danzo's swinging short sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without missing a beat, he lunged forward, slipping past the Mengmo's massive body to its side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around, he directed his gaze at Danzo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment their eyes met, Seimei prepared to repeat his earlier tactic. Drawing on the immense power of his Mangekyo Sharingan, he intended to unleash the \"Genjutsu: Sharingan\" and take control of his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as he was about to act, something unexpected occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>",1204,"2026-06-06T03:30:58.835Z",1,"novelbin.me","e15a5037b76425be0d5b639f2210b4a03fc77b7ca689a763f7b4fe36a7248399","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-664","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-662",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
