If he could max it out or master its advanced version—\"Earth Release: Super Light-Weighted Rock Technique\"—his flight speed might double again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was just for flight techniques. If he could apply it elsewhere and refine it well, the results…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsk tsk~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei didn't dare let his imagination run too wild and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No surprise the Hidden Stone Village guarded a technique this versatile and powerful as a top secret!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That said, making good use of it wasn't exactly a walk in the park.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucky for him, he had the Sharingan, which jacked up his neural reaction speed big time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without it, even if he mastered pairing it with flight techniques, he wouldn't dare use it so casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for other applications?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't have any solid ideas yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoughts swirled through his mind, but Seimei quickly reined them in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he kept tinkering with the combo of \"Light-Weighted Rock Technique\" and \"Wind Release: Wings of Wind,\" locked onto his target direction, and flew toward the mission site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, if he wanted, he could just lock onto the Flying Thunder God mark at that location and teleport there with \"Flying Thunder God Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn't.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mission wasn't exactly under the village's full surveillance, but it was close enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he zipped over with \"Flying Thunder God,\" anyone with half a brain could do the math and realize the timing didn't add up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That'd stir up a mess of trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, even without knowing the Hidden Stone Village's exact plans, Seimei could guess they'd dig into the \"Flying Thunder God\" angle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when he'd left with Old Purple, he hadn't bothered hiding that he'd mastered a space-time ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in the ninja world, there were only so many space-time techniques. As long as the Hidden Stone's intel crew weren't total idiots, they'd zero in on \"Flying Thunder God.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From there, turning their sights on the Hidden Leaf would be the obvious next step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using it recklessly now would just be asking for problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei wasn't that dumb!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, his job was to team up with that Anbu squad to monitor and track these Stone ninja—not to pull off some urgent rescue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after about 20 minutes, Seimei finally reached the mission site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by then, the place was deserted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned the area, picked a spot, and landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon enough, he spotted a hidden mark left by the Leaf Anbu on a big tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It matched the one mentioned in their distress message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the mark, Seimei quickly figured out which way they'd gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No time to waste—he took off, chasing after the direction the mark pointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he didn't fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already close to those Stone ninja. Going airborne again risked getting spotted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spooking them would ruin everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, cutting through the forest was the smarter move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by, second by second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei finally caught up to the Stone ninja—and the Anbu squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But things had taken an unexpected turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An explosion roared from up ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came a huge burst of firelight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone was clearly throwing around a Fire Release technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a bit too far to make out what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, with a quick thought, Seimei slightly unsealed the \"All-Encompassing Seal\" at his forehead, revealing the Byakugan hidden there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Focusing his mind, he activated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, his vision pierced through the Leaf headband on his brow and the forest ahead, locking onto the scene in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, four Leaf Anbu ninja were boxed in by a Stone Anbu squad plus six other Stone ninja. The explosion and fighting noises from earlier? All their doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's gaze pushed further, and sure enough, he spotted more Stone ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these ones were hightailing it away from the fight, picking up speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't hard to piece together—chances were, the Leaf Anbu squad tailing them had been exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stone ninja had split up: one group stayed to take out the Leaf Anbu and silence them, while the others made a break for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei glanced at the fleeing Stone ninja in the distance, then at the four Leaf Anbu up ahead, holding their own against twice their number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he decided to skirt the battlefield and chase the ones running off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that he didn't want to save the four Anbu—it just wasn't worth it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked like they could hold out for a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Stone ninja left to cover the retreat? Probably small fry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sticking around to deal with them alongside the four Anbu would be a waste of time when he could go after the main group that bolted first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei figured if he attacked the escapees, the Stone ninja pinning down the Leaf Anbu would have to send some backup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That'd ease the pressure on the four Anbu—assuming they were still alive—and effectively save them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if they died before he made his move?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, what could he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he could say was sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn't their babysitter, and he had no duty to keep them safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, compared to hovering over those four, he'd rather take out the Stone ninja up ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those guys were likely after him, anyway. Letting them escape—or worse, get nabbed by the Leaf—would just mean headaches later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Seimei's plan was simple: go all in and wipe them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way here, he'd been mulling over how to pull that off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the chance was right in front of him—no way he'd let it slip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, his feet pounded the ground even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>",1124,"2026-06-06T03:31:01.824Z",1,"novelbin.me","6a4fa80df2db1d5dfaec81d47fe84d69aeb55d1df67d2a98e18fc0d93eae1012","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-834","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-832",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
