A mere four Iwa Chunin were not his opponents, even if they joined forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on the other hand, he couldn't be their babysitter forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention his usual care for them during missions, just the two times they encountered Iwa ambushes and night attacks, he had taken considerable risks to save them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei believed he had done enough. If something went wrong under these circumstances, they could only blame their bad luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Seimei didn't feel guilty about the deaths of Ryosuke and Kogawa, at most, he felt a bit regretful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strength, I still need to increase my strength as soon as possible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei secretly made up his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke's death, in the end, was due to his lack of strength. Otherwise, even if he encountered danger, he could have safely overcome it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, strength was the foundation of everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Seimei didn't waste any more time. He comforted Mizutani Shizuko a few words, sent her to the medical ninja for initial treatment, and then started his own training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dawn broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by the sound of rolling wheels, the ninja who came to relieve them arrived at the town stronghold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the handover was completed, Seimei and the others started heading back to the main base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were 120 people when they came, but less than 50 returned, with a casualty rate close to 60%. It was undeniably brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And among the surviving ninja, most were Chunin and Jonin, with very few Genin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why they said Genin were cannon fodder on the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there were special circumstances this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally speaking, the casualty rate of ninja rotating on the front line wasn't as terrifying as 60%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, it wouldn't reach that level in a single rotation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in the team was somewhat gloomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei glanced at Mizutani Shizuko beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several hours of rest, her condition had improved a lot, but from her expression, it seemed she hadn't yet emerged from the shadow of her teacher and teammate's deaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei didn't have any good solutions for this and could only hope that time would heal everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed by, and the team moved forward at a moderate pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any supplies to escort, they could have moved faster, but there were too many wounded in the team, so they had to slow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite this, they still managed to return to the main base before dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, as a Genin, didn't need to worry about the mission report. After returning to the main base, Seimei immediately started his training without stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei suddenly opened his eyes, unable to conceal the joy in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two days of training, his 'Chakra Refinement Technique' had finally advanced from lv3 to lv4.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, let's see how effective it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering to himself, Seimei closed his eyes again and began to meditate, refining chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he started refining, Seimei noticed the difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If at lv3, when he used the 'Chakra Refinement Technique', it was like using a small water pipe to extract the physical and spiritual energy contained within his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then now, it was like adding a high-pressure pump to this water pipe, greatly increasing the extraction speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei opened his eyes and glanced at the panel - his chakra had increased by 800 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at lv3, this number was 400 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, with the 'Chakra Refinement Technique' reaching lv4, his chakra recovery speed had doubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, he could spend more time on ninjutsu and other skill training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, when he hadn't learned the 'Konoha Flow Sword Technique', he didn't have to worry about not having enough time, as it didn't take much time to perform ninjutsu once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he needed to worry about was whether he had enough chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after he learned the 'Konoha Flow Sword Technique', especially after leveling it up to lv3, he had to pay attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although practicing this technique didn't consume too much chakra, to accumulate proficiency, he had to practice it over and over again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this process required a lot of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, for Seimei, this time-saving effect was just right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, there was the most important aspect of chakra recovery amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before his Constitution attribute accidentally broke through 8 points, he could only use up to 3500 points of chakra per day. After it broke through to 8 points, this number became 4200.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei had estimated that with the 'Chakra Refinement Technique' advancing to lv4, this number would increase further. Now it seemed his estimation was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he hadn't conducted detailed tests yet, based on the one hour of training just now, he could already estimate an approximate value - 5500.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right, it was 5500 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This number was a full 1300 points higher than the previous value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If all this chakra was used to practice the 'Reflecting Heart Technique', he could gain 7.6 proficiency points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And five proficiency points could increase the evolution progress of his Sharingan by one point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, from now on, his Sharingan could gain an extra 1.5 proficiency points on average every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would undoubtedly further increase the evolution speed of his Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only regret was that his basic attributes hadn't changed. His potential had already been fully tapped, and his maximum chakra could only slowly increase with time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he would be able to know how many points his maximum chakra could increase per hour by using the lv4 'Chakra Refinement Technique'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the previous pattern of threefold increase, it should have changed from 8 points per hour to 16 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, in the future, when his basic attributes improved, he could also realize his potential in the shortest time.\u003C\u002Fp>",1230,"2026-06-06T03:30:41.618Z",1,"novelbin.me","9c530dde6983cf3076a6a67f58a1cba39e758cfbda3da0aad7da19a482aa65d3","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-56","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-54",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
