Grind is My Ninja Way

Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, a quarter of an hour had gone by.

Four of the Kirigakure Tokubetsu Jonin besieging Seimei had been killed or injured, while Seimei had only suffered some minor injuries.

Moreover, during the battle, these injuries had already been healed by his improved 'Mystical Palm Technique'.

Facts proved that once one's strength reached a certain level, the tactic of overwhelming numbers wouldn't be very effective.

Perhaps these Kirigakure Tokubetsu Jonin each had their own strengths, and together, they could deal with ordinary Jonin without much trouble.

But against Seimei, it was not enough.

Seimei's abilities, whether it was his lv6 near lv7 'Swordsmanship', the A-rank ninjutsu 'Rasengan' that he could use without hand seals, or his one-handed seal technique, any one of them would be a trump card for an ordinary Jonin.

And now, all of these were concentrated in Seimei, coupled with his three-tomoe Sharingan, how could these Kirigakure Tokubetsu Jonin be his opponents?

Slash~

After slashing another Kirigakure Tokubetsu Jonin's chest with his sword, Seimei suddenly pulled back.

At this moment, a thin mist rose and quickly became dense.

The surroundings were already dimly lit due to the night, and now with this layer of white mist, it was even harder to see clearly.

Seimei knew that this was Kirigakure's signature ninjutsu - Water Style: Hiding in Mist Technique!

During the battle just now, some Kirigakure Tokubetsu Jonin had tried to use this technique to obscure his vision, but he quickly locked onto their positions and forcibly killed them.

Thus, the ninjutsu was naturally broken.

But now...

Seimei's Sharingan spun rapidly, his gaze sweeping back and forth, but he couldn't find the caster's location.

Obviously, the caster wasn't one of the Kirigakure Tokubetsu Jonin present.

Then, there was only one answer: other Kirigakure ninjas had come to support.

And they were hiding in the dark, completing the casting of the ninjutsu.

Looking at the surrounding white mist and feeling the prying eyes in the mist, Seimei sneered and raised his hands to form seals.

But at this moment, several kunai shot towards him.

Seimei had no choice but to temporarily stop forming seals and dodge the kunai attacks with a few flashes.

Boom~

Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded.

It turned out that among those kunai, there were also hidden explosive tags.

A burst of flames appeared, and the shockwave from the explosion of the explosive tags instantly cleared a large area in the white mist.

However, the dense fog was like a living thing, quickly gathering and filling the area again in the blink of an eye.

Not only that, but the movement he made while dodging the kunai allowed the Kirigakure Tokubetsu Jonin to lock onto his position again.

The next moment, a dense rain of kunai shot towards him.

Seimei's ears twitched slightly, and he quickly locked onto the approximate location of these kunai.

However, because of the dense fog, he couldn't immediately determine whether these kunai, like the ones just now, carried explosive tags.

So, he could only dodge first.

However, as soon as his feet landed, another wave of attacks came.

Obviously, among these Kirigakure Tokubetsu Jonin, someone was proficient in the 'Silent Killing Technique' and could accurately lock onto his position in this environment through subtle movements.

Otherwise, the attacks wouldn't have come so quickly.

And Seimei roughly guessed their intention, which was nothing more than to exhaust him through continuous attacks.

Then, they would wait for an opportunity to launch a fatal blow.

It had to be said that this method was quite good.

As the saying went, "There is no defense that cannot be broken." If he kept dodging passively like this, he would eventually reveal a flaw, and that would be the enemy's chance to strike.

But the question was, could the opponent keep suppressing him?

The answer was obviously no.

After dodging two waves of attacks in a row, Seimei jumped onto a nearby tree, thus dodging the third wave of attacks.

Standing on a branch, his hands formed seals rapidly, and before the fourth wave of attacks arrived, he used the ninjutsu - Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!

He took a deep breath, then exhaled forcefully. First, a whirlwind appeared, then this whirlwind rapidly expanded, enveloping an area of over ten meters in an instant.

And the attacks of those Kirigakure ninjas were swept away by this whirlwind before they could get close to him.

Sensing the slight changes at the edge of the storm, Seimei sneered, then ignored it and directly controlled the storm to rapidly spread in all directions.

If it were in the past, even if he had practiced the 'Wind Style: Great Breakthrough' to the perfect level, he might not be able to control the storm so precisely.

But now, with the 'Wind Style: Wind Blade' upgraded to lv6, he had a deeper understanding of the shape and nature transformation of Wind attribute chakra.

Naturally, he could achieve this.

This was like how other people's 'Water Style: Water Wall' could only protect one direction, but Senju Tobirama could protect all sides.

In the end, it was just a matter of proficiency.

And as Seimei's 'Wind Style: Great Breakthrough' was unleashed, the surrounding white mist was instantly blown away like scattered clouds.

Even though several Kirigakure ninjas continuously released Water Style chakra during this time, trying to maintain the dense fog, they couldn't succeed.

However, this was also normal. This time, in order to achieve success in one strike, Seimei had consumed 2,000 chakra points at once.

Thus, the 'Wind Style: Great Breakthrough' he unleashed was at a natural disaster level.

Coupled with the elemental advantage, it was normal that they couldn't maintain it.

A few breaths later, the dense fog disappeared.

Seimei looked at the dozen or so Kirigakure ninjas squatting or standing on the surrounding ground and tree branches, a contemptuous smile appearing on his face.

At the same time, he didn't forget to provoke them: "The mere Blood Mist Village... is nothing more than this!"

However, these Kirigakure ninjas, whether they were Tokubetsu Jonin or Chunin, were all elites.

No one impulsively launched an attack because of his deliberately contemptuous smile or provocative words.

Seimei felt a little regretful about this.

However, it was just a little regret.

Since he couldn't provoke them to attack first, he would take the initiative himself!

With this thought in mind, Seimei flashed and appeared in front of a Kirigakure Chunin.

Whoosh~

The short sword in his hand swung out, aiming straight for the opponent's neck.

Unfortunately, before his short sword could fully swing out, several shuriken flew over.

Seimei glanced from the corner of his eye and took half a step back, easily avoiding the attack.

However, because of this, the Kirigakure Chunin in front of him finally reacted and hurriedly threw a smoke bomb before retreating.

Seeing this, Seimei didn't pursue. Instead, he used another 'Body Flicker Technique' and attacked another Kirigakure Chunin.

Previously, when they were besieging him, there were no Chunin. Now that there were Chunin, he didn't mind picking the softer persimmons.

Although this might be the reason why those Kirigakure Jonin called these Chunin over, he didn't care. Anyway, these people were all his targets, and the order didn't matter.
