Both Sunagakure and Konohagakure were frantically sending reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As far as Seimei knew, Konoha had already sent three waves of support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now this was the fourth wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, just a moment ago, Seimei had escorted the fourth wave of Konoha's reinforcements out of the defense zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching their departing figures, Seimei thought to himself, \"I wonder how many of these people will survive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, those two strongholds had become some kind of symbol. Whether they could be recaptured would determine Konoha's choices when facing Suna's attacks for a long time to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could be recaptured, it would show that Konoha still had the strength to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the future, when encountering similar situations, they would also respond proactively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they couldn't be recaptured, it would mean that Konoha was no longer capable of maintaining the current battle line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, they would have to gradually abandon the outer strongholds and shrink the entire defense line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this process, the resistance wouldn't be too strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because of this, the fighting there was so fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a while, Seimei withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and stopped thinking about it further. These matters were not his concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he needed to focus on was whether he would be transferred there, and if he were, how to ensure his survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These matters concerning his own life were what he should be considering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Seimei had not received any transfer orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another two days passed in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was now early October.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his patrol, Seimei routinely started practicing the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique'. Once, twice, thrice...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after casting this technique for the twenty-seventh time, Seimei suddenly stopped, closed his eyes, and stood still for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed by, and after a full fifteen minutes, Seimei finally came to his senses. The moment he opened his eyes, a flash of realization crossed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a swift motion, Seimei drew his short sword from his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without any visible movement, the short sword changed from snow-white to dark red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obviously, he had infused Fire Release chakra into it, but unlike before, there were no flickering flames on the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This didn't mean his Fire Release had weakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, it had become stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason those flames appeared before was that he didn't have enough control over the Fire Release chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, that problem no longer existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the reason...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was simple. He had completely mastered the Shape and Nature Transformations of Fire Release chakra, so naturally, there would be no more leakage of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did he achieve this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer was also simple. His 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique' had leveled up, from lv4 to lv5, reaching perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through this, he successfully mastered the Shape and Nature Transformations of Fire Release chakra, and his understanding and control of Fire Release chakra directly reached a new level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Seimei had a premonition that when he practiced other Fire Release ninjutsu, he should be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Seimei immediately raised his hands, swiftly forming the six hand seals 'Snake - Ram - Monkey - Boar - Horse - Tiger'. He opened his mouth and spat out a fireball with a diameter of about one meter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireball flew straight out, hitting a large tree not far away, igniting a blazing fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Seimei didn't even look at the effects of this technique. He focused his mind, opened the panel, and directly checked the proficiency behind 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any surprise, just from casting it once, its proficiency increased by five points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Seimei very excited. He thought to himself that his strategy of prioritizing the improvement of one ninjutsu was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he tried a few more times. Although the increase in proficiency fluctuated slightly, it basically remained between four and five points, which was undeniably fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, he also tested the 'Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique', and the effect was the same as the 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique', with proficiency increasing rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In light of this, Seimei made a decision on the spot - he would divide the thirteen hundred chakra points originally allocated to the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique', which he himself provided, equally between the 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique' and the 'Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, their proficiency could increase by about forty points per day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, it would only take about ten days for these two ninjutsu to level up from lv2 to lv3, and their practicality would definitely increase significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only regret was that even though his 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique' had reached lv5 (0\u002F0), he still couldn't perform single-handed seals or cast it without seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei estimated that to achieve this, he might need to raise his 'Chakra Control' by another level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the essence of hand seals was to assist ninjas in mobilizing the chakra within their bodies. If a ninja could do this on their own, they could completely simplify or even omit this step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Seimei opened the panel and looked at 'Chakra Control'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After practicing these days, its proficiency had increased by over a hundred points, and it was now at lv3 (810\u002F1000)!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this point, the boost from the two-tomoe Sharingan was almost gone. If there were no new methods, he could only rely on gradual progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"New methods...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei murmured, thinking of the two puppeteers imprisoned in the depths of the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't one of the reasons he initially captured Chiya to borrow the puppet secrets he mastered and accelerate his 'Chakra Control' training?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that Chiya had been unwilling to hand them over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'It's been so long now, I wonder if he has changed his mind?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei pondered and went to a deserted corner. He raised his hand and performed the 'Shadow Clone Technique', creating a shadow clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After nodding at the clone, Seimei quietly left the area and headed towards the entrance of the underground cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, even if Chiya was unwilling, Seimei was confident he could get his hands on the puppet secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple. After these days of observation, he was certain that Chiya was the weakness of Safo's puppeteer subordinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using this as a breakthrough point, it shouldn't be difficult to obtain the puppet secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he didn't want everything, just the methods for condensing, dividing, and controlling chakra threads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the puppet creation and control techniques that Chiya valued, he wasn't very interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, there should be a way to find a breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Seimei had already arrived at the entrance of the underground cave. He looked around, confirmed no one was there, and immediately went in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1246,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","c52db97ffa5fa71ee931e6f2549ca296c9e4b52990ad99bdef08f3335d6fb891","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-113","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-111",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
