Grind is My Ninja Wa Chapter 296: Resolution

*Slash~*

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh.

Imdiately afterward, a large amount of blood gushed out.

The Root ninja clutched his neck, staggered backward, and looked at Seii with confusion in his eyes.

Seii naturally saw his gaze but had no intention of explaining. He simply threw another kunai, aiming for his heart.

Just now, the reason why the opponent's kunai didn't hit him was that he had tid it perfectly and used 'Anotejikara' on the spot to avoid it.

However, this ti the duration was too short, and the opponent's nerves couldn't react in ti. In their vision, his afterimage hadn't disappeared yet, but he had already reappeared.

This created the illusion that the attack had passed through his body.

This scene looked sowhat similar to the 'Kamui: Intangibility' ability of Uchiha Obito in his mory, but it was not the sa.

The opponent's intangibility was to transfer their body to the Kamui dinsion, and there was still a possibility of being injured.

As for his 'Anotejikara'?

It was jumping out of the entire ninja world, true invincibility, and it was impossible to be injured.

Well...

At least, during the duration of the ocular technique, he couldn't be injured.

It could be said that his 'Anotejikara' was clearly a level above the opponent's, but the usage was sowhat similar.

However, precisely because it was too powerful, his 'Anotejikara' could only be maintained for a very short ti.

Initially, its single use could only last for about ten seconds at most.

Now, his ocular power had improved, and this ti had naturally increased to about thirteen seconds.

Although it was still very short, there was so improvent.

In fact, dealing with ordinary ninjas didn't require such a long ti.

Just like before, he seized the opportunity and only needed to briefly use 'Anotejikara' to complete the kill.

...

*Thump~ Thump~ Thump~*

Three consecutive sounds of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Behind Seii, the Root ninja whose carotid artery he had severed struggled for a while before finally collapsing.

The two 'fixed targets' also fell.

At this point, only one Root ninja remained on the field.

Seii looked up at the figure covered in parasitic bugs in front of him and said with interest, "You're Abura Torune, right?"

Even through the mask and sunglasses, Seii could still sense the other person's surprise.

Well, guessing their identities might not be difficult. Although Root ninjas operated in secrecy, if one were to investigate, they could still find so clues.

Just like Uchiha Shisui, after receiving his hints, he had discovered so problems and even guessed that the opponent was going to sabotage this support mission.

But...

To accurately say the na Abura Torune was not a simple matter.

Abura Torune even suspected there was a traitor in Root, but how was that possible?

With brainwashing and the 'Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal', Root ninjas couldn't betray Danzo before his death.

But the other party did know his na, which made Abura Torune very puzzled.

After a mont of silence, he asked, "How did you know?"

"That's of course..."

Seii's words were halfway through when his body suddenly leaned forward.

Then, his feet stomped on the ground, and his entire being shot out like an arrow, instantly arriving in front of Abura Torune.

*Whoosh~*

A flash of sword light.

Abura Torune's throat was instantly cut.

However, there was no joy on Seii's face.

No blood flowed from Abura Torune's severed throat.

*Bang~*

In an instant, Abura Torune turned into a swarm of bugs.

"Insect Clone?"

Seii murmured and slightly turned his head, looking not far behind.

There, another swarm of bugs gathered, eventually forming the shape of Abura Torune.

He stretched out his hands towards Seii and shouted in a low voice, "Secret Technique: Insect Ball!"

In an instant, the swarm of bugs transford from Abura Torune in front of Seii rged with the swarm that had been hovering nearby, and they all pounced towards him.

At this mont, he felt as if the swarm of bugs in front of him was like a giant net, trying to envelop and devour him.

Seii knew this wasn't an illusion. Once these bugs truly enveloped him, they would indeed devour him completely.

Without any hesitation, Seii leaped back.

At the sa ti, he raised his left hand, instantly ford hand seals, opened his mouth, and cast the ninjutsu - Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!

Instantly, a massive fireball appeared and crashed into the swarm of bugs.

Imdiately, a dense buzzing sound arose, as if countless bugs were gnawing on sothing, making one's scalp tingle.

A mont later, the fireball disappeared.

Seii glanced and saw that the number of dead bugs was far less than he had expected.

He already had so guesses about this in his mind.

These bugs were all kikaichu, naturally capable of devouring chakra.

Although the fireball condensed by the 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique' was a fireball, it was also an aggregate of chakra.

Naturally, it could be devoured by these kikaichu.

Recalling the gnawing sounds from the swarm just now, the reason for the low number of bug deaths was not hard to guess.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind.

Seii didn't pay much attention to these bugs. After breaking their formation with the 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique', he charged directly towards Abura Torune.

During this ti, his Sharingan was fixed on the opponent, observing his every move.

Seeing this, Abura Torune raised his hand again, summoning even more bugs. He pointed at Seii and cast another secret technique - Insect Jamming Technique!

This was a secret technique passed down within the Abura clan, capable of disrupting the enemy's perception.

It worked by having the kikaichu vibrate their chakra-infused wings at a specific frequency, creating a sound that could confuse the enemy's senses.

In this way, whether they were hiding within the swarm or casting various secret techniques, it would be much easier.

Although Abura Torune wasn't clear about the current state of Seii's Sharingan, he had keenly noticed that after activating the Mangekyo Sharingan, Seii's reactions had beco much faster.

This ant an improvent in perception.

Therefore, he definitely needed to weaken Seii's perception to better conceal himself.

His actions did indeed cause so trouble for Seii.

The sound of the kikaichu vibrating their wings made it difficult for Seii to concentrate, greatly reducing his perception.

At the sa ti, the presence of the swarm obstructed his vision.

The combination of these two factors made it difficult for his Mangekyo Sharingan to bring out its full potential.

If this continued, he would only be able to play a ga of wits with the swarm.

By then, if the opponent saw that they were no match, they might just run away.

"Sigh! I originally planned to save so ocular power, but now it seems..."

Shaking his head, Seii's expression turned serious. Through the gaps in the swarm, he looked at Abura Torune behind them and suddenly activated 'Anotejikara'.

The next mont, his figure disappeared.

"What's going on?"

Previously, when Seii used 'Anotejikara', it was only for an instant. Although Abura Torune sensed sothing unusual, he didn't know what exactly had happened.

But now, Seii had truly disappeared, which set off alarm bells in his heart.

Without any hesitation, he imdiately used the 'Insect Clone Technique' to hide his main body and started controlling the swarm to search for Seii's whereabouts.

Unfortunately, all his actions were done under Seii's watchful eyes.

Therefore, Seii easily found his main body, then deactivated 'Anotejikara', and directly appeared in front of him.

"You..."

Even with Abura Torune's indifferent nature, seeing Seii suddenly appear before him still shocked him greatly, and he couldn't help but make a sound.

Unfortunately, before he could finish his sentence, Seii cast 'Genjutsu: Sharingan', instantly pulling his consciousness into an illusion.
