Leaping off the boulder, he left the island's center and reactivated Raiton Chakra Mode (Lightning Release Chakra Mode), enhancing his body once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, while Seimei was at ease, someone else was growing anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moon shone brightly, stars dotting the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Land of Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a narrow alley, three Iwa Anbu lay sprawled on the ground, their fates unknown. A fourth was held aloft by the throat, pinned in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, even in this dire situation, the Iwa Anbu didn't cry out for help or struggle unnecessarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, something was off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it made sense when you considered the Sharingan—specifically, the Mangekyō Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right. The one holding this Iwa Anbu was none other than Uchiha Obito, wielder of the Mangekyō Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the Iwa Anbu was under Obito's genjutsu, completely subdued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no surprise he wasn't resisting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why Uchiha Obito was here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simple. He'd caught wind of the mysterious attack on Iwagakure's Four-Tails Jinchūriki, Lao Zi, who had since gone missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't something he could ignore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the 'Eye of the Moon' plan entrusted to him by Uchiha Madara or his true goal of 'creating a perfect world where Rin still exists,' both required all nine Tailed Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with rumors of someone secretly targeting the Tailed Beasts, how could he sit still?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just him, either. Even Black Zetsu was alarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his plan to save his mother on the moon also hinged on the nine Tailed Beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the moment they got the news, the two rushed to Iwagakure to figure out what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the motionless Iwa Anbu, Obito didn't waste time. He activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, manipulating the man's mind and delving into his memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by, second by second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Obito withdrew his gaze, muttering under his breath, \"Konoha… Hiraishin no Jutsu… Sensei Minato…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right. From the Iwa Anbu's mind, he'd extracted the intelligence Iwagakure had gathered recently. It wasn't exhaustive, but it was close enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he hadn't expected was that Iwagakure's prime suspect was none other than the teacher he once admired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How is that possible?\" Obito murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he harbored resentment toward Namikaze Minato for failing to save Rin, he didn't believe Minato would do something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't about personal feelings—it was just his gut instinct about the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a second…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Obito realized something. Iwagakure suspected Minato because he wielded the Hiraishin no Jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Obito knew that, besides Minato, there was someone else in Konoha who likely mastered the same technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Iwagakure's other theory was that someone in Konoha had secretly learned the Hiraishin and was responsible for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that possibility seemed far more likely than Minato being the culprit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uchiha Seimei,\" Obito growled through gritted teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right. The person Obito was thinking of was Uchiha Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back during their battle at the graveyard, Seimei had effortlessly seen through his Kamui, costing Obito an arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Seimei hadn't used the Hiraishin then, Obito's later analysis and targeted investigations had all but confirmed that Seimei possessed a space-time ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only someone with a space-time technique could detect the spatial fluctuations when he activated Kamui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in Konoha, what space-time ninjutsu was more famous than the Hiraishin no Jutsu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito had long suspected Seimei had mastered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That suspicion was why, after losing an arm, he hadn't gone after Seimei again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, combining Iwagakure's findings, he was 80% certain that the one who abducted the Four-Tails Jinchūriki was Uchiha Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'But why is he capturing Tailed Beasts?' Obito wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was just for power, that was manageable. Once his preparations were complete, he could easily take Seimei down. But if Seimei had other motives, that could spell big trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had no fondness for Seimei, Obito respected his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An opponent like that, constantly working against them, was far from ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Obito couldn't help but feel a twinge of worry.\u003C\u002Fp>",1093,"2026-06-06T03:31:01.824Z",1,"novelbin.me","246183dcae135e70ecd3e913f70d73807f4ae9d3c80ce6b23da554d7831b4038","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-841","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-839",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
