He immediately raised his hands to form seals and unleashed the \"Ninjutsu: Mind-Reading Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei placed his palm on the Iwa ninja's head and closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a flood of memories poured into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning slightly, Seimei ignored the jumble of irrelevant thoughts and zeroed in on any information about Roshi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, this guy knew quite a bit about Roshi—including the fact that he was a jinchuriki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was nothing in his memories about Roshi leaving the village recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, he had no idea where Roshi was right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's brow furrowed a little more. Clearly, he wasn't thrilled with this outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after thinking it over, it made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, Iwa Village wasn't exactly strict about controlling info on jinchuriki and tailed beasts, but it wasn't a free-for-all either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something like a jinchuriki leaving the village? The fewer people who knew, the better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it wasn't surprising this guy was out of the loop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was also the chance Roshi hadn't left Iwa at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That said, Seimei hadn't come here planning to nab the Four-Tails right away. His goal this time was simpler: set things up and wait for Roshi to take the bait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Roshi had already left the village or not didn't really matter all that much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had, great—Seimei might bump into him while setting things up, saving himself a ton of hassle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn't, no big deal either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Seimei's plan was in place, he'd get word the moment Roshi stepped out of the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he'd have his chance to make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these thoughts flashed through his mind, but Seimei didn't bother digging deeper into the Iwa ninja's memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had plans for this guy—he was about to turn him into a sleeper agent. No point wasting too much time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, his Sharingan illusions could erase chunks of memory, but the longer it took, the more gaps there'd be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Best to wrap this up quick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, digging too deep might fry the guy's brain, and Seimei didn't want a perfectly good pawn getting sniffed out because of some glitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he cut the memory-reading short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he flashed through hand signs, pulling off the \"Flying Thunder God Technique\" and \"Transcription Seal.\" He left a Flying Thunder God mark on the ninja while fully turning him into his puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the sleeper agents he'd planted in the Mist Village, though, the seal he left on this guy had a specific trigger: keep an eye on the jinchuriki's movements and activate the mark the second there's any sign of them leaving the village, alerting Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, and he didn't specify which jinchuriki—Four-Tails or Five-Tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why? Simple. He wasn't just after the Four-Tails. He had his sights on the Five-Tails too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, aiming for the Five-Tails before even bagging the Four-Tails might sound a bit ambitious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei figured he had the skills to back it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once his setup was complete, he was dead certain the Four-Tails was as good as his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, planning ahead for the Five-Tails? Totally reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking off those thoughts, Seimei refocused. He locked eyes with the Iwa ninja, his Mangekyo Sharingan flaring as he unleashed \"Illusion: Sharingan\" once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, he wiped out the last few minutes of the guy's memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to make sure nothing seemed off, he threw in a vague, fake memory—making it feel like the ninja had just zoned out for a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once that was done, he slipped the chameleon back under the guy's shirt and stepped behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei snapped his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after, he triggered \"Kamui,\" slipping into another dimension to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three seconds later, Chiiwa woke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His consciousness snapped back, and Chiiwa blinked at the familiar scene in front of him. \"Why'd I space out like that?\" he muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knows time gets fuzzy when you zone out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little gap in your memory? Pretty normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, as a ninja, Chiiwa stayed cautious. He carefully scanned his surroundings, checking for anything weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he checked himself, making sure he hadn't been hit with some illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he was sure everything was fine—no oddities detected—he let out a long breath. Guess I overthought it, he told himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right then, the chameleon on his chest squirmed a little, looking restless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiiwa just figured it picked up on his brief tension, so he didn't dwell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even gave it a light pat and murmured, \"It's okay, Hana. Don't worry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his voice, the chameleon—Hana—settled down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Chiiwa shifted his focus back to keeping watch over the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his job, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he didn't know, though, was that Seimei was nearby, cloaked in \"Kamui,\" silently watching him from the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why stick around? Seimei wanted to see if the guy would notice anything off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his first time wiping several minutes of someone's memory—there could be hiccups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to stick around and check, just to be sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Funny thing, though: Chiiwa didn't catch anything, but that low-IQ lizard did pick up on something weird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What can you say? Animals like that have a knack for sensing danger better than humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good thing Seimei had wiped its memory too when he put it back. Sure, it felt something was off, but it had no clue why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That threw Chiiwa off the scent, so he didn't dig deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All in all, this little operation went off pretty damn well!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summing up the results in his head, Seimei kept an eye on Chiiwa a bit longer. When his Sharingan started feeling the strain, he finally took off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, he'd crossed the barren hills and slipped out of the Iwa ninja patrol zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he scoped out some hidden spots nearby and left a few Flying Thunder God marks as backups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with another set of hand signs, he cast \"Wind Release: Wings of Wind\" and \"Chakra Cloak,\" taking to the sky and heading for the nearest city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't dug too deep into Chiiwa's memories, but he'd caught a glimpse of a map of the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No worries about getting lost.\u003C\u002Fp>",1058,"2026-06-06T03:31:01.824Z",1,"novelbin.me","4bc9959d2d6adcfc9edc4385db18c4723471d087965ec230bf6f221ed96d60ab","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-805","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-803",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
