He touched his forehead, where a new eye had been implanted. It felt so natural, as though it had always been there, without any trace of surgical alteration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This seamless result was mainly due to his mastery of the highly advanced *Healing Palm Technique*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though everything looked fine on the surface, Seimei could still sense a slight internal disharmony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking it over, he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, suppressing the irritation in his eyes, and used his left-eye jutsu: *Human Reign*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, an invisible force surrounded him, detaching him from this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking advantage of the moment, he dispelled the side effects of the suppressive medication from his system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seconds later, as he reappeared on the operating table, his body's self-healing abilities had already begun to take effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was this self-healing ability that quickly erased the lingering disharmony in his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the difference between medical ninjutsu and self-healing abilities. No matter how advanced medical ninjutsu is, it's still an external intervention. Only the body's natural processes and evolution truly suit oneself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause to let the remaining discomfort disappear, Seimei began testing the ability of the new eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this eye didn't function, then even a perfect transplant would be useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, Seimei was relieved to find that his eye, unlike Kakashi's, could be closed at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, Ao's transplanted Byakugan wasn't constantly active either; otherwise, he wouldn't have had to place a \"protection seal\" over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While this was partly to protect the eye, it was also likely meant to restrict its Byakugan abilities and conserve chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's case was different. Even without any extra effort, his eye consumed very little chakra, resting naturally like an ordinary eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**\"Inhale… Exhale…\"**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a deep breath to calm himself, Seimei raised his hand to focus his chakra and then activated the Byakugan implanted in his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a unique vision filled his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, it was as though everything around him ceased to exist. His gaze effortlessly pierced through his surroundings, and he could focus intently on any chosen spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, he could clearly see the shadow clone he'd posted outside the cave, standing guard on a large tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he observed, the shadow clone seemed to sense something and quickly looked around with vigilance in its eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, it found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as it was about to investigate further, Seimei's voice suddenly echoed in its ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax, it's me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recognizing the familiar voice, the shadow clone finally eased up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the underground hall, Seimei deactivated *Linked Minds* and continued to test the Byakugan's capabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seconds ticked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few dozen seconds, Seimei felt some strain in his eye and stopped observing, allowing the Byakugan to close automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no doubt—he had succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using this eye, he could clearly see everything within a kilometer radius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, without the \"Caged Bird\" restriction, his Byakugan didn't have the 1-degree blind spot found behind the first thoracic vertebrae of branch-family Hyūga clan members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This detail alone made it perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only downside was that the chakra consumption was slightly higher than he had anticipated, likely due to it being a transplant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he couldn't yet maintain the Byakugan for extended periods—whether this was due to the recent transplant and the lack of full integration, or something else, was unclear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, he could only keep it active for less than a minute before needing to deactivate it and let it rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, his eye would start to ache, and his mind would become hazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all issues he'd need to address in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Seimei's intuition told him that these weren't major obstacles. First-time surgeries often come with complications, but things improve with experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then again, it's not like he'd have a second chance to perform this surgery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Seimei opened the proficiency panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The familiar blue screen appeared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**[Name: Uchiha Seimei]**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**Age: 12**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**Physical Strength:** 19\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**Mental Strength:** 20\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**Bloodline:** Sharingan (Mangekyō) (12880\u002F50000) → (14416\u002F50000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**Byakugan (Unawakened):** 15\u002F100\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**Skills:**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- *Chakra Refinement:* lv5 (2630\u002F5000) → lv5 (2886\u002F5000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- *Wind Style - Rasenshuriken:* lv7 (5900\u002F20000) → lv7 (8200\u002F20000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- *Healing Palm Technique:* lv8 (28500\u002F50000) → lv8 (37400\u002F50000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- *Chakra Scalpel:* lv6 (4500\u002F10000) → lv6 (8500\u002F10000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- *Mind's Reflection Technique:* lv8 (15299\u002F50000) → lv8 (18371\u002F50000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- *Chakra Control:* lv5 (4550\u002F5000) → lv6 (750\u002F10000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he scanned the panel, Seimei's attention was immediately drawn to the **Byakugan (Unawakened: 15\u002F100)** under his bloodline status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No doubt about it—his theory had worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he'd anticipated this, seeing evidence of his bloodline awakening was still exciting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that, from now on, he could enhance his Byakugan, much as he did his Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Byakugan isn't highly regarded in the shinobi world, its potential is undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an eye naturally possessed by the Ōtsutsuki clan, it can be developed to unlock various abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei didn't expect any extraordinary new abilities; he simply wanted to enhance its telescopic and penetrating vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, his Byakugan could only detect things within a kilometer radius, and its penetration varied depending on chakra interference in the environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could evolve it to see two, three kilometers, or even farther, it would be an immense advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would completely make up for his current weaknesses in reconnaissance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether the Byakugan itself could achieve this…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, with the proficiency panel and *Human's Reign*, breaking through its natural limitations should be achievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, figuring out how to fully awaken his bloodline and advance the Byakugan's evolution posed a challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The *Mind's Reflection Technique* was crafted by a former Uchiha specifically for the Sharingan, and though he'd modified it beyond recognition, it wasn't applicable to the Byakugan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, to evolve the Byakugan, he'd have to find another approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*(End of Chapter)*\u003C\u002Fp>",1001,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","678b50438ba0406499413d11549d527b433874e40b80092ebb1b5889f9a84204","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-487","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-384",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
