Grind is My Ninja Way

Ding~

A crisp sound of metal clashing rang out.

Seimei swung the short sword in his hand and accurately blocked the kunai thrown by Shiguang.

Originally, Seimei thought that the two sides would be in a stalemate for a while.

Unexpectedly, Shiguang retracted as soon as he touched it.

Then, he saw him using the reaction force from the blade, turned around, and ran towards another battlefield without looking back.

The whole process was smooth, without any hesitation.

This made Seimei stunned.

The other party was so fierce just now, which made him think that the other party was going to fight him head-on, and he was even ready for it.

'But that's it?'

A big question mark appeared above Seimei's head.

But

I have to say, being able to deceive Sharingan's powerful insight and prevent him from noticing his true intentions in the first place was also the opponent's ability.

Shaking his head, Seimei didn't choose to pursue the opponent, but shifted his attention to the surviving Iwa Shinobi Chuunin and Genin nearby.

It could be seen that the "strategic shift" of the leading Jonin made these people all at a loss, as if they might flee at any time.

And the gaze that Seimei focused on was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

They had seen Seimei's brutality before, and they didn't dare to confront him.

Therefore, when Seimei looked at them, these people couldn't hold on any longer, and they all gave up their opponents and scattered around.

Seeing this, Seimei didn't say anything, his body flashed, and he grabbed several people one after another like catching chickens, draining their Chakra.

Feeling the almost overflowing Chakra in his body, Seimei used the excuse of searching for the enemy's traces to find another place again, and spent more than twenty minutes converting about 16,000 Chakra points in his body into 'mythical palm Technique' proficiency.

After doing this, he attacked again and came to another battlefield where the blocking battle was taking place.

There was no Seimei's interference here, so the battle was very fierce.

Seimei didn't wait too long, after seizing the opportunity, he immediately made a move, and in the blink of an eye, he subdued several Iwa Shinobi Chuunin and Genin.

The 'Chakra Absorption Technique' was activated, Seimei's hands moved together, and it only took less than ten seconds to drain their Chakra.

In the end, before the leading Jonin arrived, he got rid of the entanglement first and left the battlefield.

Of course, not everyone was a "coward" like Shiguang, but no matter how aggressive they were, they didn't dare to chase into the depths of the dense forest alone.

Because that was not bravery, but courting death.

It was precisely by relying on this that Seimei repeatedly jumped back and forth and succeeded many times.

Unknowingly, he had accumulated more than 160,000 Chakra points, and the proficiency of the 'mythical palm Technique' had also reached lv6 (9120/10000)!

Next, as long as he obtained another 130,000 Chakra points, his 'mythical palm Technique' could be successfully promoted.

Just when Seimei was planning to make persistent efforts and gather the required Chakra in one go, Iwagakure suddenly retreated.

That's right, they retreated.

Not only their side, but also the Iwa Shinobi who attacked the mountain in the north and the Iwa Shinobi who besieged Town below all retreated.

Standing on the treetops, with the help of the dim light in the early morning, Seimei watched the Iwa Shinobi retreating in an orderly manner below, knowing that this battle was far from over.

Obviously, Iwagakure dispatched all their troops last night, wanting to take them down in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, the appearance of Namikaze Minato shattered their illusions.

Now, after several hours of fierce fighting in the second half of the night, they had recognized the reality and knew that the goal was impossible to achieve.

Therefore, they chose to retreat.

It was foreseeable that there should be no such large-scale attacks in the future.

As long as Iwagakure didn't want to wipe them out in one go, then for ninjas, small-team attacks were far more effective than a large force pressing forward in one go.

But undoubtedly, this was not conducive to Seimei obtaining Chakra.

Because in this way, the proportion of Jonin in the Iwa Shinobi team would increase rapidly. Although it would not pose much threat to him, it would be impossible to succeed as easily as last night.

However, this didn't have much impact on the promotion of the 'mythical palm Technique'.

A mere 130,000 Chakra points.

Even without the supplement of extra Chakra, relying solely on his own recovery ability, it would only take a little more than three days to save enough, and there was no need to worry about delaying it for too long.

As for what to do next, he would have to take one step at a time.

After observing for a while, Seimei retracted his gaze, then jumped down from the treetop and returned to the camp.

After handing over the work of counting the battle losses to other Jonin, Seimei went straight to the place where the wounded were placed.

Then he began to use his medical ninjutsu to treat these people, and at the same time, he also practiced the proficiency of the 'mythical palm Technique'.

A morning passed quickly.

Although Iwagakure had retreated, Konoha still didn't relax at all. Everyone was vigilant, ready to deal with the next battle at any time.

Facts proved that their vigilance was not wrong.

That's right, just after the morning, Iwagakure launched another attack.

The opponent's choice was similar to what Seimei had expected. They did form small teams and launched an attack on Town stronghold.

Seeing this, Konoha didn't choose to shrink back, but also sent out small teams to fight with Iwa Shinobi.

This time, the entire battlefield expanded to a radius of five kilometers, and there were battles everywhere, and the scene was quite tragic.

There were more people on Iwagakure's side, and they could often form a situation of outnumbered enemies, but although there were fewer people on Konoha's side, their average combat power exceeded that of Iwa Shinobi.

Therefore, even with fewer enemies and more enemies, they could often achieve similar results.

In this way, the battle situation was stuck here.

Now, they could only fight for attrition to see which side would not be able to hold on first.

...

Several hours passed in a flash.

It was almost evening.

The battle finally gradually subsided, and the ninjas from both sides returned to their respective camps exhausted, and began to seize the time to rest.

On the western mountain, Seimei also experienced several fierce battles, but unfortunately, he didn't get much Chakra.

As for the reason

First, the amount of Chakra his body could hold was limited.

And the battles were too frequent, he didn't have time to digest those Chakras at all, so naturally he couldn't get more.

The second was Iwagakure's deliberate targeting.

The other party seemed to already know that he could absorb other people's Chakra, so they would pay special attention to this during the battle.

Once they found that he was absorbing Chakra, they would immediately kill the captured Iwa Shinobi, or use powerful ninjutsu to interrupt his actions.

In short, they just didn't let him get Chakra comfortably.

This disgusted Seimei.

The key was that he couldn't do anything about the other party.

Because the Jonin he faced appeared in pairs at least.

Under such circumstances, if he didn't go all out, he wouldn't be able to kill the opponent easily.

And if he used all his strength, it would attract the support of the nearby Iwa Shinobi Jonin, and he still wouldn't be able to complete the kill.

In short, it was very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he was strong enough himself, and he didn't have to worry about his own safety, so he simply spent his time like this.

By the way, he could also practice the proficiency of 'Swordsmanship'.
