He froze mid-step, then leaped back instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A split second later, two kunai whizzed through where he'd just been standing, embedding themselves in a nearby tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sizzle~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The explosive tags tied to the kunai ignited, flaring into massive fireballs that erupted with a bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei raised a hand to shield himself from the shockwave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Byakugan flared again, locking onto every Stone ninja's position in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a flicker, he dodged a sneaky Earth Release technique one of them had tried to pull off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, he unleashed \"Flash Sword Technique\" again, closing in on another Stone ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That familiar metallic clash rang out once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad he hadn't had time to layer \"Vacuum Blade\" onto his sword this time—no chance to shatter the guy's kunai in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, no surprise sneak attack either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't matter, though.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd picked this target on purpose. The guy he'd locked onto was just a chunin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring down the Stone chunin struggling to hold his long blade at bay, Seimei smirked. \"Illusion Technique: Sharingan\" activated in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy was on guard, but still too slow. Seimei's illusion snared him effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the moment, Seimei twisted his wrist. His blade slid past the kunai and plunged straight into the chunin's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahh~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp pain snapped the Stone chunin out of the illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too late, though!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shnk~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei yanked his sword free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood poured from the wound. The guy was done for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then, a few more shuriken zipped toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without even looking, Seimei dodged with a quick sidestep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he repeated the trick, targeting another nearby Stone chunin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the guy blocked his strike, Seimei's left hand darted out, unleashing \"Chakra Scalpel\" to slice the chunin's throat in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, five or six Stone ninja had fallen to him—about a quarter of their group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was fast, sure, but these Stone ninja weren't pushovers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could catch them off guard and take out the weaker ones, but wiping them all out like this? Not happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Case in point: while he'd been busy with those two chunin, the rest had encircled him and cooked up a plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching a handful of Stone jonin charge his way, Seimei knew he couldn't let them tie him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not that he was scared of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current strength, even if they pinned him in a straight fight, he could take them out. It'd just take time and a minor cost—nothing big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Problem was, he didn't want to waste that time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if he wasn't mistaken, the ten Stone elites who'd been holding off the Leaf Anbu earlier were now headed this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they joined the fray, he'd end up in the same mess as those four Leaf Anbu—stuck here by some of them while the real targets slipped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they'd tracked him this far, they had some trick up their sleeve. He'd jumped in to eliminate that threat—no way he'd let anyone escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoughts raced through his head as he scanned the battlefield with his Byakugan and Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he reached into his gear pouch, pulled out three smoke bombs, and tossed them down with a bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple smoke billowed up, covering a three- or four-meter radius in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the Stone jonin closing in to pin him halted mid-step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged a glance. One of them flashed through hand signs and unleashed a Wind Release technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gust swept through, clearing the smoke in no time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But along with it, Seimei had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Stone jonin's pupils shrank. They'd been watching him like hawks—there's no way he should've slipped through their net right under their noses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Underground, maybe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their sensing skills weren't as sharp as the team's dedicated sensor, but at this range, they'd pick up something if he'd gone subsurface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet—nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same thought hit them all at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could figure it out, shouts erupted from the edge of their encirclement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They whipped around toward the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somehow, Seimei had popped up outside the ring, cutting off a few Stone ninja trying to peel away from the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A \"Rasengan\" blasted out, slamming into a Stone special jonin who couldn't react in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crisp sound of breaking bones followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guy's chest caved in, blood trickling from his mouth—he was down bad, barely clinging to the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was just the start.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the smoke as cover, Seimei had activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and \"Amaterasu\" to slip out silently. He wasn't stopping at one kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the others could react, he swung his blade at the closest ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than the female Stone ninja who'd first sniffed out his underground hideout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just a sensor—her combat skills were nothing special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when he caught her off guard with a slash, even though the earlier special jonin's warning gave her a heads-up and she blocked with a kunai, his strike still sent her flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei was about to press the advantage and finish her off when—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the surrounding Stone ninja all launched attacks at him in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by their expressions, they cared a lot about this woman's safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei didn't buy that they all had a crush on her. For them to react like that instinctively, her identity had to be something special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a sec…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thought clicked, and his expression shifted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keeping his cool, he dodged their attacks without a fuss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he formed hand signs and unleashed a technique—\"Fire Release: Majestic Dragon Flame!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, three blazing dragons roared from his mouth, radiating searing heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his control, they curved around the ninja in front, boxing in the female Stone ninja who'd just staggered to her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>",1048,"2026-06-06T03:31:01.824Z",1,"novelbin.me","be1b4762b5fbca473be6b5a05bbf302ee17e3b5a6db57df19f5630de6385631a","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-837","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-835",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
