It was almost at its limit, so he stopped refining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he couldn't continue refining anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, chakra wasn't created out of thin air. The refining process required consuming his physical and mental energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, merging with the original owner's memories had consumed a lot of his mental energy. Afterward, he had been thinking about countermeasures and exploring the panel's functions, so his mind was already exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he continued, even if it didn't harm his foundation, it would at least be half as effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, it was better to stop for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'However, I can't waste the chakra within me.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Seimei forced himself to cheer up, recalled the memories in his mind, and once again started forming hand seals, attempting to perform the Clone Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, his chakra was depleted. Seimei had performed the Clone Technique a total of five times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any surprises, all of them failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made sense. Even proper ninja academy students needed a few years to master the three basic techniques. He, an outsider, couldn't expect to succeed after just a few imitations; that would be wishful thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with the original owner's memories as a bonus, he couldn't do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, judging from the proficiency panel, he was only four-fifths away from success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the only thing limiting his progress was his chakra reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was difficult to improve in a short time.

He still had to go to school today, and it would be troublesome if he needed it then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had actually considered taking a few days off to convert the original owner's legacy first, but that might attract more attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was better to go to school!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, even if he revealed some flaws, he could explain them as being due to the sudden change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he stayed at home and someone came looking for him, it would be even harder to fool them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After weighing his options, Seimei decided to continue going to school. As long as he kept a low profile, there shouldn't be any major problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his decision made, Seimei stopped thinking and quickly got ready. After eating something to fill his stomach, he immediately headed to the Ninja Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Uchiha clan hadn't been forced to relocate to the corner of the village yet and was still located in the central area, not far from the Ninja Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Seimei quickly arrived at the school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following his memories, he found his classroom. Some people greeted him along the way, and he simply nodded in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the original owner, like many Uchiha ninjas, was rather aloof, making it easier for him to pretend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding dong~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About ten minutes later, the bell rang for class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ninja in his twenties walked into the classroom. This was their homeroom teacher and also their subject teacher, named Sugiki Kazuto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the original owner's memories, he knew that Kazuto, like most teachers in the school, didn't show any obvious bias towards different students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Seimei didn't have to worry about the Uchiha surname causing any trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was thinking this, Seimei noticed Sugiki Kazuto glance in his direction, making his heart skip a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Kazuto didn't look for long and soon started the class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei didn't hear a word of what Sugiki Kazuto was saying on the podium. He was just wondering why Kazuto had looked at him earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was certain that it wasn't a casual glance; Kazuto had genuinely been observing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Did he discover something?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei felt uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding dong~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the bell rang for the end of class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei was startled awake. A class had passed without him realizing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sugiki Kazuto looked at the absent-minded Seimei, shook his head, and didn't say anything. After announcing the end of class, he left the classroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Seimei's teacher, he naturally knew about the news of his parents' deaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, whenever a student in the class had a family member who died, he would be informed. This was information specifically conveyed to them, the teachers, by the Konoha higher-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the purpose...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was naturally to allow them to guide their students in a timely manner and prevent any extreme situations from arising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he was supposed to counsel Uchiha Seimei today as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But last night, an Uchiha ninja had already approached him and told him not to, so he didn't interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Uchiha's purpose for doing this was simple: they wanted to see if Seimei could awaken the Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Uchiha higher-ups, it was no big deal if an ordinary clan member's potential was wasted. If they could awaken a pair of Sharingan, it would be a huge gain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why they didn't let Sugiki Kazuto intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were Iruka in the future, he might have resisted the pressure and guided Seimei, but Sugiki Kazuto was different. He didn't have that strong a sense of responsibility, so he simply went along with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei knew nothing about all of this. He was still feeling guilty about Sugiki Kazuto's special attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after thinking for a while, he roughly guessed that Sugiki Kazuto probably didn't have any ill intentions towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably just knew about the original owner's parents' deaths and was paying a bit more attention to him because of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phew—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After figuring this out, Seimei finally relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1410,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.339Z",1,"novelbin.me","4cab75081d7488fe87d0d2206b7e50075930fb77fb2f318a9fbf0951b927c680","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-3","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-1",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
