After finishing his training for Body Extreme, he began using the Heart Reflection Technique to push his Sharingan's evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than half an hour, he gained 10 evolution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, after another fifteen minutes of training, he picked up 5 more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, his Sharingan finally hit the 15 evolution points needed for a breakthrough, crossing the (20,000\u002F100,000) threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Seimei felt a jolt in his mind. His Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan activated instinctively, the black sun-like pattern in his eyes suddenly deepening with an otherworldly intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A powerful aura radiated from him—or more precisely, from his eyes—making the air around him feel almost solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone with weak strength or shaky resolve was nearby, they'd probably pass out from the sheer pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heck, without even using genjutsu, Seimei could likely make them go against their survival instincts and end themselves with just a thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, if he wanted, no chunin or lower-ranked ninja would even be able to stand in his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reining in his thoughts, Seimei closed his eyes to focus on the changes within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could clearly feel his mental strength surging as his Sharingan crossed the (20,000\u002F100,000) mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei knew this was due to his Mental attribute leveling up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, his mental strength would usually grow by 20-30% at most. But this time…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About an hour later, the growth finally stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei sensed it carefully—his mental strength had doubled compared to before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this was way beyond what he'd expected. It was a massive leap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be… did my Mental attribute jump by more than one point this time?\" Seimei wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, he pulled up his proficiency panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar light blue, semi-transparent screen appeared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Name: Uchiha Seimei\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Age: 14\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Constitution: 28\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chakra: 1,426,000 (1,851,450 → 1,923,450)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodline:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Sharingan · Eternal Mangekyo (19,585\u002F100,000) → (20,000\u002F100,000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Byakugan (3,236\u002F10,000) → (3,551\u002F10,000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Wood Release (290\u002F10,000) → (310\u002F10,000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Lava Release (540\u002F5,000) → (558\u002F5,000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Storm Release (800\u002F1,000) → (845\u002F1,000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skills:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Chakra Refinement Technique: Lv7 (3,444\u002F20,000) → Lv7 (3,684\u002F20,000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Wood Clone Technique: Lv8 (14,700\u002F50,000) → Lv8 (25,500\u002F50,000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Body Extreme: Lv8 (2,200\u002F50,000) → Lv8 (13,000\u002F50,000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Chakra Control: Lv8 (8,100\u002F50,000) → Lv8 (8,350\u002F50,000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfected Skills: [None]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the panel appeared, Seimei's eyes locked onto the basic attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, his Mental attribute had gone from 29 to 30—no unexpected multi-point jump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant the only explanation for his mental strength doubling was that hitting 30 in Mental triggered a qualitative transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd had a hunch about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days ago, when his Constitution attribute leveled up, he'd mentioned that the next Mental boost might bring something special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he hadn't expected it to be this big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because of that, he started to question himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, he'd underestimated what breaking the 30-point barrier for Mental meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surge in mental strength was just one part of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei closed his eyes again, focusing on his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by, second by second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat cross-legged, still as a statue, just sensing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After who-knows-how-long, his eyes snapped open, brimming with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew it…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei muttered, taking a few deep breaths to calm himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, in a low voice, he said, \"So this is natural energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right—just moments ago, with his heightened mental strength, he'd sensed the faint, omnipresent natural energy in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the mental surge, he'd picked up on a strange energy but couldn't confirm it was natural energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was sure. This was the real deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered last November when Orochimaru defected from the Hidden Leaf. During a mission, Seimei had closely observed Jiraiya gathering natural energy to enter Sage Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sensation back then was almost identical to what he'd just felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he was certain—this was natural energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why Seimei said the mental surge was just a small part of the change. Sensing natural energy? That was the real transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it opened up a ton of possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how to actually use it? That'd take some serious thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, though, he had a problem to deal with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, the mental surge brought some awesome benefits, but it also came with a big downside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Constitution attribute had hit 28 recently, nearly balancing with his Mental attribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, even though Mental only went up by one point, the effect was like a two- or three-point jump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That put a huge strain on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Seimei could feel his overwhelming mental strength pressing down on his physical form, making it hard to do much of anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to fix this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, Seimei came up with two solutions. First, he could boost his Constitution attribute as fast as possible to close the gap with Mental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once his body caught up, the balance issue would sort itself out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second option was to seal part of his mental strength to keep it from affecting his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first, Seimei immediately thought of natural energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew Sage Mode massively strengthened the user's body. It should help his physical evolution, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't just a wild guess—he had evidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take Naruto's blonde hair, inherited from Minato Namikaze. That showed how much Sage Mode could transform a body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ninja world wasn't a purely scientific one. With chakra and natural energy, genetics weren't just a matter of chance—they depended on whose genes were stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kushina Uzumaki, as the Nine-Tails' jinchuriki with a powerful seal, had incredibly strong Uzumaki genes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Naruto didn't inherit her signature red hair. Instead, he got Minato's blonde locks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato, a common-born ninja, had little going for him besides his smarts and superhuman reflexes—oh, and training in Sage Mode under Jiraiya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Seimei had reason to believe sage chakra could supercharge a ninja's genetics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why Naruto got his dad's hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his theory was right, Seimei could use natural energy to speed up his body's transformation, boosting his Constitution attribute faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But exactly how to do that would take some experimentation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the second option—sealing part of his mental strength—Seimei had some ideas there, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Heart-Sealing Soul Lock: Instant Contract Seal could restrict a soul, the source of mental strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could apply a similar seal to himself, he might be able to limit his surging mental power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn't be a permanent fix, but it'd buy him time to boost his Constitution and resolve the crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>",1091,"2026-06-06T03:31:05.225Z",1,"novelbin.me","d4d4eb3db39adc10658ea6ef3243ef809804de7a42cf0e5013cf09518171eb57","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-1016","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-1014",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
