east.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somewhere in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked his chakra reserves by opening the status panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two hours of combined effects from the active ability of **\"Chakra Refinement Technique\"** and the passive regeneration of his body, he had gained over 25,000 points of chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adding this to the chakra he had left earlier, he had more than enough to continue today's practice of **\"Wind Style: Wings of Wind.\"**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasting no time, Seimei confirmed his chakra reserves were sufficient and immediately performed **\"Shadow Clone Technique\"** to create a clone specifically for practicing the technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the shadow clone spread its wings and fly away, Seimei turned his attention back to practicing **\"Palm Healing Technique\"** and **\"Reflecting Heart Technique.\"**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After days of training, Seimei could clearly feel his body strengthening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his calculations, in about a month, his body would undergo a new transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the critical step of pushing his **\"Physique\"** attribute from 19 to 20, a leap that promised changes far beyond any he had experienced before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there was his **Mangekyō Sharingan.**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its evolution progress had now surpassed **(15,000\u002F50,000)**, and the next milestone of **(20,000\u002F50,000)** was within reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching this milestone would not just extend the duration he could use the techniques **\"Amaterasu\"** and **\"Tsukuyomi.\"**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the changes at the **(10,000\u002F50,000)** mark, Seimei anticipated that once his Mangekyō Sharingan evolution hit **(20,000\u002F50,000),** it might allow his **Susano'o** to progress to the second stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, his **Susano'o** would gain musculature, flesh, and a chakra-infused armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wouldn't just significantly enhance its defensive capabilities but would also grant the universal long-range attack of Susano'o—**Yasaka Magatama.**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This technique, in terms of power, was on par with an A-rank ninjutsu and was definitely worth looking forward to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, while it wasn't suitable to rely on Susano'o's power in the short term, it was an excellent trump card that Seimei wanted to make as strong as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These thoughts flashed through Seimei's mind as he quickly refocused, fully dedicating himself to practicing **\"Palm Healing Technique\"** and **\"Reflecting Heart Technique.\"**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow clone practicing **\"Wind Style: Wings of Wind\"** returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei opened his eyes and looked at it, noticing that instead of depleting chakra, the clone had accumulated more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing toward the direction the clone had come from, Seimei immediately guessed what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raising his hand, he dispelled the **\"Shadow Clone Technique.\"**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Poof!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A puff of chakra smoke appeared, and the clone vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, Seimei's mind was flooded with training experiences and memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skipping over the training insights for now, Seimei quickly reviewed the clone's memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, the shadow clone hadn't just practiced **\"Wind Style: Wings of Wind\"** but had also engaged in some \"jungle training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the cover of darkness, the clone had silently ambushed a Hidden Mist patrol squad at Yujin Port, draining the chakra of all four members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why its chakra reserves had increased instead of decreasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Seimei shook his head and thought to himself, *\"As expected of my clone, it really thinks just like me.\"*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Seimei had considered using Hidden Mist shinobi as a supplementary source of chakra to further develop his **\"Shadow Sword Technique.\"** The clone had gone ahead and acted on that very idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, this was convenient—it saved him the trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for drawing Hidden Mist's attention and investigation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Come on, this is a battlefield!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The death of a few people meant nothing, especially when they weren't high-ranking jonin but just mid- to low-level shinobi. This wasn't enough to alarm Hidden Mist's higher-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At most, they would tighten their security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for retaliation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even less likely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden Mist was currently preoccupied with reestablishing command in this battlefield. They had neither the time nor resources to counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were even worried about potential escalations from the Leaf Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, killing a few mid- to low-level Hidden Mist shinobi wouldn't cause any significant ripple effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this train of thought meant that Hidden Mist's mid- to low-level shinobi were in for a rough time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all of that was for later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, Seimei's priority was to absorb and process the shadow clone's training experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, he closed his eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About fifteen minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei opened his eyes once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Checking his status panel, he saw that the proficiency of **\"Wind Style: Wings of Wind\"** had increased by over 70 points, though it still wasn't enough to reach level 6.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasting no time, Seimei performed **\"Shadow Clone Technique\"** again, this time creating two clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, two clones this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One would continue practicing **\"Wind Style: Wings of Wind.\"**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was tasked with researching **\"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique\"** as a foundation for developing the **\"Shadow Sword Technique.\"**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an additional source of chakra now secured, Seimei was determined to accelerate his plans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the two clones leave, Seimei closed his eyes once again, fully immersed in practicing **\"Palm Healing Technique\"** and **\"Reflecting Heart Technique.\"**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flew by as his skills steadily improved, and the increasing proficiency on his status panel made the repetitive training feel anything but tedious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the continuous progress made time pass even faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he knew it, another hour had gone by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the shadow clone practicing **\"Wind Style: Wings of Wind\"** returned without engaging in any \"jungle training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, while Hidden Mist's higher-ups didn't care about the loss of a few mid-level shinobi, repeated incidents would be seen as a provocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such actions would force them to respond, escalating the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei wasn't reckless enough to invite unnecessary trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His only goal was to harvest extra chakra, not to stir up Hidden Mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, unless absolutely necessary, he had no intention of overstepping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the shadow clone, inheriting his thoughts and memories, understood this and avoided causing further problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given his current chakra needs, replenishment every one to two days was sufficient. There was no need to alarm Hidden Mist unnecessarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These thoughts briefly flickered through Seimei's mind as he quickly refocused, processing the shadow clone's latest training experiences and memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was it for today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*(End of Chapter)*\u003C\u002Fp>",1053,"2026-06-06T03:30:56.197Z",1,"novelbin.me","02fe4c0b110468f3279969fc5ac71eb8dd20d9f5750a61d90d1e2ed7585f6b60","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-520","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-518",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
