In total, he gained more than 10,000 proficiency points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Panel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, Seimei opened his proficiency panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On it, he saw that his \"Precision Extraction Technique\" had reached mastery, jumping from LV6 (4250\u002F10,000) to LV7 (0\u002F0).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his \"Chakra Scalpel\" gained several thousand proficiency points, increasing from LV7 (1800\u002F20,000) to LV7 (9200\u002F20,000), with the progress bar nearly halfway complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an enormous amount of proficiency, even with hands-on practice bonuses, required a substantial amount of chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only because of his extraordinary chakra recovery speed was he able to sustain it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, even if the opportunity presented itself, he wouldn't have been able to take full advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But gains always come with sacrifices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had spent so much time and chakra on treating the wounded and improving these two skills that his other training had inevitably fallen behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei had no solution for this, except to hope he could later extract chakra from Mist Ninjas and assign additional shadow clones to catch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the timing...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei shifted his gaze from the distant sunset toward the direction of Yujin Harbor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After yesterday's fierce battle, both the Konoha and Mist Ninja forces were exceptionally quiet today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, beneath this calm, a storm seemed to be brewing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the Mist Ninja commander's decisive reaction yesterday, Seimei's plan to use himself as bait hadn't fully met expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, their side had managed to gain the upper hand, eliminating several Mist Jonin and a significant number of elite reinforcements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That alone was enough to create an advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the Mist Ninja didn't take the initiative to strike, Nara Keiko would surely seize this opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, not long ago, Nara Keiko had already gathered all the Jonin and warned them of an impending large-scale battle, urging everyone to be prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From every perspective, this battle seemed inevitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it would likely be the final confrontation in this region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outcome of this clash would decisively determine their position in the negotiations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retracting his gaze, Seimei let out a yawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without lingering in the chilly wind, he returned directly to his tent and lay down to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for training—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't closed his eyes in over thirty hours and desperately needed rest. Training could wait until he woke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the hospital work,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei had done all he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the rest, there wasn't much he could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, there weren't many injured left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who had been critically wounded and hadn't stabilized over the last twenty hours were likely beyond saving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the day, he had frequently seen bodies being carried out of the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head silently, Seimei closed his eyes.

He couldn't even remember the last time he had rested this long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he felt dazed upon waking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few seconds, however, he regained clarity, and his thoughts began to flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Propping himself up with both hands, he sat up, casually dressed, and stretched lazily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he felt an unprecedented comfort, as if even his mind was working faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his refreshed state, Seimei murmured to himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like I need to extend my rest periods a bit in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even training requires balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, he had been overly eager for results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By drastically cutting his sleep time each day, he had unknowingly accumulated a massive amount of fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why he had slept for over ten hours last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Continuing like this would be detrimental to his training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his realization hadn't come too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that his \"Multi Shadow Clone Technique\" was fully mastered, even with longer rest periods, he wouldn't have to worry about falling behind on his growing list of training tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thoughts flashing through his mind, Seimei quickly completed his morning routine. After eating and filling his stomach, he activated \"Wind Style: Wings of Wind\" and flew beyond the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday evening, after finishing his work, Nara Keiko had informed him he could rest for two days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Seimei didn't have to concern himself with anything beyond focused training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, to be cautious, he didn't stray too far from the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding a quiet spot in a nearby forest, Seimei immediately used \"Shadow Clone Technique\" to create over a dozen clones and began his training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Seimei hadn't allocated chakra to his \"Precision Extraction Technique,\" so even after mastering it, it didn't provide additional usable chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, it couldn't accelerate the improvement of his other skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the \"Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Technique,\" which he had maxed out a few days prior, gave him an extra 19,000 chakra points daily for free allocation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following his plan, Seimei directed all this chakra toward practicing \"Wind Style: Rasenshuriken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this adjustment, his daily chakra investment in the technique increased from 60,000 to 79,000 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also raised his proficiency gain from 400 points per day to 525 points per day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this pace, Seimei calculated that in at most seventy days, the technique would level up from LV8 to LV9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that would be just the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once his \"Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere,\" \"Wind Style: Vacuum Blade,\" \"Wind Style: Wind Devour,\" and \"Water Style: Exploding Water Colliding Wave\" reached mastery, he would save even more chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This surplus chakra would also be dedicated to \"Wind Style: Rasenshuriken\" training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, his proficiency growth rate would accelerate further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only question was whether he could launch the technique at LV9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on previous experience, LV5, LV7, and LV9 were pivotal stages where skills underwent significant qualitative changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an S-rank forbidden technique, LV9 wouldn't mark the absolute peak of \"Rasenshuriken,\" but it would likely signify a near-perfect level of mastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, theoretical perfection is rarely achievable for ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Naruto's so-called \"perfect mastery\" in the later stages was probably not truly flawless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Seimei's proficiency reached that level, he should be able to use the technique as a ranged attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the drawback of \"hurting oneself while hurting the enemy,\" he could wield it with much greater ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As these thoughts crossed his mind, Seimei quickly pushed them aside and focused on assigning tasks to his shadow clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With everything arranged, he immersed himself in training.\u003C\u002Fp>",1138,"2026-06-06T03:30:56.716Z",1,"novelbin.me","92f077504dc18b706bebca5fe29163baee109a75c5be8db51c1ebcde35263ed2","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-598","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-596",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
