Zzt! The sound of crackling electricity filled the air as Reiko Koike unleashed her signature jutsu—Lightning Release: Thunder Rope! In an instant, two chains of lightning surged forward, racing toward Seimei's neck and waist, aiming to bind him in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear the two were in sync: one attacking with lethal force, the other restricting his movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately for them, Seimei had sensed their chakra the moment they set foot on the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only reason he hadn't acted sooner was because he had some unfinished business to wrap up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the lightning ropes closed in from both sides, ready to ensnare him, a sudden wind blade spun out from Seimei's palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade didn't look like much—small and almost delicate—but the moment it met the lightning ropes, it sliced through them like they were nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, wind chakra's natural resistance to lightning played a part, but the real reason was Seimei's mastery of wind-style chakra, far surpassing Reiko's control over her lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why he cut through her jutsu so effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If their skill gap had been too wide in the other direction, even a type disadvantage wouldn't have let Seimei break her technique so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the idea of their strength surpassing his? Laughable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Seimei's power was leagues above theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without using wind release, he could've stopped those lightning ropes with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why waste the effort when he could counter them so simply?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That said, this was just the first wave. Three water arrows were still hurtling toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flicker of thought, chakra surged within him, forming a thick ice wall less than half a meter behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiki's water arrows were fast, no doubt, but they couldn't maneuver. They slammed straight into the ice wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the sound of cracking ice echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei glanced back, noticing the web of fractures spreading across the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, he muttered to himself, \"As expected, even if I've got the basics down, without the right jutsu, it's hard to fully tap into a bloodline's power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But while he was reflecting, Daiki and Reiko were panicking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he turned, they recognized him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ghost Blade Seimei?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uchiha Seimei!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their shocked cries rang out one after the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a second thought, they bolted toward the spot where their Water Demon Shark was hiding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, a person's reputation casts a long shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They'd never fought Seimei directly, but his battlefield exploits were legendary, and they knew them well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at their peak, they wouldn't have fancied their chances against him—let alone now, when they were far from their best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, running was the only option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daiki silently thanked his foresight for stationing the Water Demon Shark by the coast, giving them an escape route. Otherwise, they'd have no chance at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could just reach the shore and hide inside the shark, they might make it out alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Daiki's footsteps quickened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reiko, seeing this, matched his pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they didn't notice was that the path back seemed just a tad longer than it should've been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time they realized something was off, the world around them shattered like a broken mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they opened their eyes, they were still standing in the same spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in front of them stood a figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None other than Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their hearts sank. Without time to process what had happened, they instinctively leaped back, putting distance between themselves and Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each drew a kunai, ready to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the moment the thought crossed their minds, intricate sealing patterns appeared across their bodies, locking them in place, unable to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's going on?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panic surged as they stared at Seimei, who remained eerily calm. They exchanged glances, hoping for some reassurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was none to be found. Both were trapped, completely immobilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The paralysis lasted about ten seconds. When they could finally move again, attacking Seimei was the last thing on their minds. They turned to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the instant they took a step, an indescribable pain erupted from within—deep, soul-searing agony they couldn't endure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaagh!\" they screamed, collapsing to the ground, writhing in torment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei stood by, watching silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth was, the moment he turned, he'd activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, trapping their minds in a genjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their desperate escape? Nothing but a fantasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd even dulled their senses, making them oblivious to the fact that their \"escape\" was going nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the chance, he'd cast Heart-Sealing Soul Contract: Instant Binding Seal on them, embedding a few simple conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's what led to this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why didn't he warn them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simple. If they didn't suffer a bit, why would they ever obey?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, they'd attacked him first. Sure, it hadn't done much, but an attack was an attack. Seimei didn't care about the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn't still have questions to answer, he would've ended them both with a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About five minutes later, when both had passed out from the pain, Seimei finally lifted the seal's punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the two sprawled out like dead dogs, he stepped forward, formed hand signs, and cast Ninja Art: Mind Reading Jutsu on Reiko.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling her memories being probed, Reiko's bloodshot eyes glared at him, struggling to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the \"torture\" she'd just endured, she was in no state to fight back. And even if she were, Seimei's mental dominance was absolute—her resistance was meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",959,"2026-06-06T03:31:03.429Z",1,"novelbin.me","c03c5c35d7b262f4ef5d7acc95c3a8c897e70057f59b2e49534b7929f21b05f8","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-957","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-955",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
