He didn't want to keep tangling with Seimei either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after Obito finished collecting all the bodies, Zetsu followed him, and they left together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the Land of Fire, on an island in the southern seas…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's tightly shut eyes snapped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just moments ago, another chunk of memories from his Kage Bunshin flooded into his mind—the one that had just clashed with Uchiha Obito and Zetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling every detail and carefully analyzing Obito and Kuro Zetsu's reactions, Seimei let out a small sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their responses, it seemed his strategy had worked. He'd successfully convinced Obito and Kuro Zetsu that his goal was to become the Jūbi's Jinchūriki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that didn't fundamentally conflict with their ultimate plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he didn't have to worry about them exposing his capture of the Four-Tails and Seven-Tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well… at least not for the short term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that the two were easy to fool. Seimei's age and background were just too deceptive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, who would've thought a thirteen-year-old kid with a clean record like Seimei would know so many of the ninja world's secrets?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The information gap, combined with Seimei's deliberate misdirection, made it easy for them to come up with a seemingly reasonable explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bought Seimei plenty of time to grow stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before diving back into his intense training, he had one issue to deal with: explaining to the village why the Konoha ninja who'd returned with him had all died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't just one or two ninja—it was two full squads, over thirty people. Most were Chūnin and Genin, but that was still a significant number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village would definitely investigate the deaths of so many ninja thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't just brush it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting cross-legged on a giant boulder, Seimei pondered for a long time before muttering, \"Looks like I'll have to reveal a few things this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he quickly stood up, packed his things, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to the forest near the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like his Kage Bunshin earlier, he cast Fūton: Wings of Wind, donned his Chakra Cloak, and used Doton: Light-Weight Rock Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, activating his Sharingan to heighten his reflexes, he flapped his wings and flew to the battlefield at his maximum speed of 600 meters per second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Circling high above, Seimei switched to his Byakugan to scan the area below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No surprise—there was no sign of Uchiha Obito or Kuro Zetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, based on his earlier Kage Bunshin's probing, if Obito was hiding in his Kamui dimension, Seimei's Byakugan wouldn't be able to spot him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well… not at his current level, at least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future? That was another story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's Byakugan, combined with her other abilities, could see through dimensions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Flying Thunder God Technique and Ama no O as his foundation, Seimei was confident he could elevate his Byakugan to Kaguya's level and achieve the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heck, if he took it a step further and evolved his Byakugan into the Tenseigan, it'd be even easier to reach that goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, Seimei pushed those thoughts aside and focused, searching for traces of Zetsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito might be hiding in his Kamui dimension, out of sight, but Zetsu couldn't block the Byakugan's ability to detect chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Seimei could use Zetsu's movements to figure out if the two had really left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he'd scanned a one-kilometer radius and found no sign of Zetsu hiding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the two had most likely left for real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the chance that Zetsu was also hiding in Obito's Kamui dimension? Unlikely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither Obito nor Kuro Zetsu fully trusted the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, why would Obito let Zetsu into his Kamui dimension? And why would Zetsu dare to enter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if, by some one-in-a-million chance, they set aside their doubts and teamed up to ambush him here, Seimei wasn't afraid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the Flying Thunder God Technique and Ama no O would let him escape the battlefield in an instant. He held all the cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he had nothing to worry about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After roughly confirming they were gone, Seimei descended to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, all the Konoha ninja bodies were gone. Only some lingering bloodstains proved a battle had taken place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the scene, which didn't quite match his own strength, Seimei considered using ninjutsu to fake some evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a moment's thought, he gave up on the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why? He specialized in combat, not covering tracks. If he tried to forge the scene, he'd likely slip up, and that'd make him look guilty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he was already planning to leak some of Obito's abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could just say the fight happened in the Kamui dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would explain why there were no traces of his battle with the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that decided, Seimei didn't linger in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hands, formed seals, and cast Fūton: Wings of Wind, Chakra Cloak, and Doton: Light-Weight Rock Technique again, flying back to Konoha at top speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he reached the village, he headed straight for the Hokage Building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap, tap, tap~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's footsteps were quick as he reached the Hokage's office door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand and knocked lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock, knock, knock~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gentle yet slightly weary voice answered promptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei recognized it as Minato Namikaze's voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed the door open and stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the office, Minato sat behind his desk. The moment he saw it was Seimei, his expression shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why? Based on the timeline, Seimei shouldn't be back yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato straightened up, his tone serious. \"Seimei, what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, during the mission to chase the infiltrating Iwa ninja, Seimei's actions had raised a few questions. But overall, Minato still trusted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Seimei had racked up plenty of merits along the way. Even if there were issues, they were minor. Minato wasn't some rigid stickler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, his attitude toward Seimei wasn't much different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei wasn't about to let Minato's demeanor lower his guard. He steadied himself, mentally rehearsing his prepared story, then said, \"Not long ago, I was ambushed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato's heart skipped a beat. His first thought was of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the other former Konoha higher-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why? Just a few days ago, they'd pressured him to recall Seimei from the front lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Seimei had barely set out when he was attacked. It was hard not to connect the dots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about the others?\" A bad feeling crept into Minato's heart as he asked, \"Where are Squads 14 and 17 that were with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's expression darkened. After a brief pause, he answered, \"The enemy was strong and their methods were strange. I got tied up. The two squads with me… there were no survivors. Even their bodies…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Seimei's response, Minato fell silent for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Seimei unblinkingly, as if trying to read something from his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing before the desk, Seimei could faintly feel the pressure radiating from Minato, along with a suppressed anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The office was dead quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Minato let out a long breath. Forcing down his anger, he said coldly, \"Tell me everything that happened. Every detail. Don't leave anything out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Fourth-sama!\" Seimei replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he began recounting the entire battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well… his carefully edited version of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Chapter End)\u003C\u002Fp>",1332,"2026-06-06T03:31:01.824Z",1,"novelbin.me","bc3429092c82c497b17635045eca8927233e9e9e27e877a24314989d44f6273b","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-848","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-846",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
