Grind is My Ninja Wa Chapter 92: Exchange

"Seii, is sothing the matter?"

Seeing Seii walking straight towards him, seemingly having sothing to say, Uchiha Shisui imdiately stood up and asked.

"Yes."

Seii nodded, pointing not far away, "Over there."

Seeing Seii's behavior, Uchiha Shisui knew that the matter he wanted to discuss must not be simple; otherwise, he wouldn't have avoided the others.

After thinking for a mont, he didn't refuse and followed Seii.

The others, seeing this, didn't pry too much. After all, everyone had their secrets.

Moreover, both of them were from the Uchiha clan. Perhaps they wanted to discuss sothing related to the Sharingan. Prying rashly might lead to trouble.

However, they still kept a bit of attention on them.

Stopping beside a large tree, Seii turned to Uchiha Shisui and asked seriously, "Did you encounter any unusual situations during the battle earlier?"

"Unusual situations?"

Uchiha Shisui's heart skipped a beat, but he still pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What kind of unusual situations?"

Seii noticed the montary unnaturalness in his expression and imdiately understood that the other party must have also been attacked by Root ninjas.

However, although he sensed the abnormality, without knowing the underlying reason, he chose to conceal it for the ti being.

It made sense. Since Danzo had made a move on him, there was no reason to let Uchiha Shisui, an Uchiha with even greater potential, go.

Unfortunately, the other party not only underestimated his strength but also underestimated Uchiha Shisui's combat power.

Shaking his head inwardly, Seii gathered his thoughts and, without beating around the bush, asked directly, "Did soone also attack you?"

"Also?"

Uchiha Shisui noticed Seii's wording and, after thinking for a mont, asked, "Were you attacked too?"

This statent basically confird Seii's previous guess.

Understanding this, Seii didn't waste any words and quickly recounted his previous encounter, including the incredibly strange Blood Demon's Barrier.

After finishing, he looked at Uchiha Shisui and asked again, "What about you?"

Uchiha Shisui hesitated slightly before saying, "The Blood Demon's Barrier... I didn't encounter that, but two people did attack . Just like your situation, they were also fearless of death."

"Is that so..."

Seii pondered for a mont and then continued to ask, "Anything else? Any other peculiarities? Like their aura or sothing."

Hearing Seii ntion the word "aura," Uchiha Shisui finally beca certain that Seii had also been attacked.

The reason was simple: those people's aura was too unique, and Seii's ability to ask about it ant he had also noticed this.

At the sa ti, it indirectly proved that the enemies they faced were likely the sa group.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Uchiha Shisui replied seriously, "Indeed, their aura was very peculiar. It always gave

a lifeless feeling."

"As expected, it was them."

Seii pretended that his guess had been confird and murmured, prompting Uchiha Shisui to ask further.

As expected, hearing his words, Uchiha Shisui hurriedly asked, "What do you an by 'as expected, it was them'? Seii, do you know the identities of those people?"

Hearing his question, Seii feigned hesitation. After a mont of silence, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, those people should be Root ninjas."

"Root?"

Uchiha Shisui seed to be hearing this na for the first ti and asked with a puzzled expression, "What's that?"

"The training division of the Konoha Anbu."

Seii replied.

"What?"

Hearing this answer, Uchiha Shisui's voice rose a few decibels in surprise, imdiately attracting the attention of the few people in the distance.

Uchiha Shisui suppressed his inner shock and waved at them, signaling that everything was fine.

After they looked away, he asked in disbelief, "Why would Anbu ninjas attack us? Was it the Third Hokage's order?"

"Perhaps..."

Although Seii knew this was absolutely Danzo's order, it didn't stop him from subtly undermining Hiruzen Sarutobi's image.

Although Hiruzen considered himself righteous, if not for his indulgence, Danzo wouldn't have been able to commit so many evil deeds.

Therefore, in Seii's view, Danzo's bla should at least be shared equally with Hiruzen.

And there was also himself...

Seii thought of Naruto Uzumaki's future experiences and the forced suicide of Hyuga Hizashi from the Hyuga clan and couldn't help but shake his head.

No matter what, he couldn't let Uchiha Shisui completely side with them.

Hence, his ambiguous words.

Of course, Seii didn't forget to expose Danzo.

He said, "The direct leader of Root is Shimura Danzo. The order might have been issued by him, bypassing the Hokage."

"Shimura Danzo?"

Uchiha Shisui, hearing this unfamiliar na, directly asked, "Who is that?"

"A high-ranking elder of the village, a classmate of the Third Hokage."

Seii replied.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui fell silent. After a while, he asked again, "Then why did they attack us?"

"Hehe~"

Seii chuckled softly in response, not saying anything, but just pointed to his own eyes.

"Sharingan?"

Seeing Seii's gesture, Uchiha Shisui murmured.

Seeing him lost in thought, Seii decided not to continue the conversation further.

Finally, in a cautionary tone, he said, "In any case, be careful in the future. There are quite a few people eyeing these eyes."

With that, he walked towards the group of Konoha ninjas not far away.

"Wait..."

At this mont, Uchiha Shisui suddenly called out to him and asked seriously, "How do you know all this?"

Seii just smiled and didn't answer his question.

Honestly, Seii didn't know how to answer either.

In that case, it was better to let the other party imagine.

As long as he investigated in this direction, he would eventually discover that what he said was true.

At that ti, how he himself knew wouldn't matter anymore.

That's right, Seii didn't expect Uchiha Shisui to imdiately believe his words.

The reason he told him all this was just to plant a seed of distrust in his heart.

This way, in the future, whether he was dealing with the village's higher-ups or encountering Danzo, he would be more cautious.

If, even then, Danzo managed to take his Sharingan, then he could only say it was his own fault.

However, Seii estimated that Danzo wouldn't live to see that day.

Based on what he did today, he wouldn't give him that opportunity.

Seii was always clear about gratitude and grudges. Since the other party chose to attack him, they shouldn't bla him for being impolite.

Thinking this in his heart, Seii returned to the group.

After about another hour, with no one else arriving, Tanigawa Maki announced the mission's end and then led everyone to catch up with the main force.

With this, the interception battle officially concluded.

On Konoha's side, they had dispatched one Jonin, two Tokubetsu Jonin, and eight Chunin, a total of eleven people. In the end, six survived, with one Tokubetsu Jonin and four Chunin killed in action, a casualty rate of 45%, nearly half.

Fortunately, Seii once again survived.
