Grind is My Ninja Wa Chapter 52: Infiltration

Boom~ boom~ boom~

Accompanied by blinding flas, a series of explosions suddenly ca from behind the earth wall. Along with it ca the screams of the Iwa ninja.

Looking ahead of the team, at so point, two Konoha Jonin were missing.

It turned out that just now, while the two sides were confronting each other, two Konoha Jonin had used Earth Release ninjutsu to infiltrate the Iwa ninja stronghold. Now, it was them who were creating chaos.

A few breaths later, the earth wall created by the Iwa Jonin collapsed, revealing the chaotic battlefield behind it.

At this ti, the two Konoha Jonin were being besieged by a group of Iwa ninja.

Seeing this, Kogawa imdiately ordered: "Teams one, two, and three, entangle the enemy. Team four, find the enemy's supply warehouse."

Unfortunately, Seii was part of team four. Besides him, there were three other people in the team, and all three of them were Chunin.

Logically speaking, in a Chunin team, forcibly inserting a Genin would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the team mbers.

But the fact was that the three teammates did not express any objections after learning about this grouping.

As for the reason...

It was very simple. In the past month of fighting with the Iwa ninja, Seii had already proven his strength, which was no weaker than that of an average Chunin.

His teammates were not worried that he would drag them down, so naturally, they had no objections.

Otherwise, when it ca to matters of life and death, even Kogawa couldn't make the decision alone.

However, only Seii knew that Kogawa had a deeper aning in arranging him in.

Perhaps in the eyes of his three teammates, he was just an ordinary Genin with Chunin-level strength, but Kogawa knew his 'true' strength, which definitely surpassed the Chunin level.

Therefore, arranging him in was more about wanting him to act as a surprise soldier and complete the mission at a critical mont.

Seii had no objections to such an arrangent.

In fact, compared to fighting on the frontal battlefield, this infiltration and search mission was more to his liking.

The main reason was that it wasn't very dangerous.

Although one of their teams had exposed their whereabouts before their surprise attack even began, the Iwa ninja were still caught off guard.

At this ti, the Iwa ninja stronghold was surrounded on all sides, and the enemy Jonin must have been dispatched early on.

So of the remaining Chunin and Genin posed no threat to him at all.

You might ask why there wouldn't be any Jonin staying behind?

The reason was simple. The war between ninja was ultimately not the sa as a war between ordinary people. Although logistical supplies were equally important, they were still inferior to people.

For Iwagakure, preserving more living forces was more important than so-called supplies.

If supplies were lost, they could continue to be gathered, but if ninja were lost, it would take years to train them.

Therefore, Seii estimated that the Iwa ninja, like them, would send out as many high-end forces as possible when facing the enemy, especially when they were cornered, in order to reduce the losses of Chunin and Genin.

That's why Seii said this mission wasn't very dangerous for him.

Of course, it was only for him.

For his three teammates, that might not be the case.

...

Inside the Iwa ninja stronghold.

Seii and his group of four walked quickly towards the center of the village.

At this ti, nearly ten minutes had passed since they infiltrated the village, and they had finally figured out the location of the Iwa ninja supply warehouse.

This was thanks to a Chunin nad Yamanaka Ichiryo in the team.

Although he was not a direct mber of the Yamanaka clan and hadn't learned the most advanced mind secret techniques, he had learned a mind-reading technique.

A few minutes ago, with the help of others, they got rid of their pursuers and infiltrated the village.

After that, they spent so ti and found an Iwa Chunin who stayed behind.

With careful planning and taking the enemy by surprise, their sneak attack succeeded.

Then, Yamanaka Ichiryo used his mind-reading technique and didn't expend much effort to obtain the information they wanted from his mind.

If the intelligence was correct, the underground area in the center of the village was the Iwa ninja's supply warehouse.

Next, they just needed to destroy these supplies, and the mission would be completed.

At that ti, everyone could retreat.

However, before that, they still had to deal with the defensive forces inside.

Arriving at the center of the village, Yamanaka Ichiryo raised his right fist, signaling everyone to stop.

Then, he ford a few hand seals, closed his eyes, and began to sense the surrounding situation.

Seii didn't know the na of the ninjutsu the other party was using, but he could vaguely feel the spiritual energy constantly spreading outward from him.

He thought it should also be a secret technique of the Yamanaka clan.

Just as Seii was pondering, Yamanaka Ichiryo suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him sharply, a flash of surprise and uncontrollable scrutiny in his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the other party looking at him, Seii's expression remained unchanged, and he spoke calmly.

Hearing this, Yamanaka Ichiryo ca back to his senses, put away his scrutinizing gaze, and replied in a flat tone, "Nothing."

Seeing this, Seii frowned slightly.

Recalling the other party's gaze just now, Seii felt that the other party should have seen sothing.

'Sharingan?'

This thought just popped into Seii's mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

The Sharingan, when not activated, let alone a half-baked Yamanaka clan mber, even the head of the Yamanaka clan himself might not be able to see anything unusual.

'Then, there's only one possibility left.'

Feeling the vast chakra within his body, Seii thought to himself, "Did he discover that my chakra amount is abnormal?"

Before setting off, in order to increase his survival rate as much as possible, he didn't waste any chakra and even specifically used the 'Chakra Refinent Technique' to recover a lot of chakra.

This led to his chakra amount exceeding 4,500 points.

And this had already far surpassed the chakra amount of most Chunin.

It should be noted that he was only eleven years old now. According to the growth pattern of ninja, this age had not yet entered the stage of rapid developnt.

In other words, his chakra amount would continue to increase in the future.

And he hadn't revealed the existence of the Sharingan on the surface, so this chakra amount was naturally abnormal.

Seii himself was also aware of this.

Therefore, whether it was at the main base or at the town stronghold, he had been controlling his chakra amount and reducing contact with strangers, trying his best not to expose any abnormalities.

Unexpectedly, he had slipped up today.

Seii estimated that he had just been too close to Yamanaka Ichiryo, so the other party sensed so abnormality using ninjutsu.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

The secret technique Yamanaka Ichiryo had just used was called 'Spiritual Touch', which could sense the number of living people within a certain range and roughly estimate their strength.

And the way to estimate strength was to probe the amount of chakra the target had.

Originally, this detection result was not very accurate, but this couldn't withstand Seii's abundant chakra!

Just now, as soon as Yamanaka Ichiryo used 'Spiritual Touch', he was startled by Seii beside him and even thought the other party was a Jonin in disguise.

After confirming that it was indeed Seii himself, he was even more shocked.

However, with the mission at hand, he didn't have ti to think too much.
