For now, Seimei didn't need to dwell on it—unless he could capture a tailed beast in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be the only way to significantly accelerate the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, while capturing a tailed beast was already on his agenda, stealing a village's \"nuclear weapon\"—even from a small village—was no easy task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head silently, Seimei pushed these thoughts aside and began contemplating how to allocate the surplus chakra gained from his recent \"Constitution\" attribute enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept across the three skills, and it was clear that the \"Four Symbols Seal,\" which was particularly effective against tailed beasts, was the most critical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he decided to allocate the majority of his chakra to it, dedicating half of the newly acquired chakra—80,000 points—to its training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this allocation, he would be able to gain 660 proficiency points daily, allowing him to reach LV7 in about a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, even if the skill wasn't fully mastered, it would still be usable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the remaining chakra, he planned to split it into two parts—one large and one small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He allocated 36,000 points to practicing the \"Self-Curse Binding Seal\" and 50,000 points to the \"Flying Thunder God Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this setup, the \"Self-Curse Binding Seal\" would gain 360 proficiency points daily, while the \"Flying Thunder God Technique\" would earn 330 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this rate, both skills would reach LV6 in about a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they might still lack significant combat utility by then, they could at least be used in emergencies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why one month?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple: Seimei's initial plan to capture a tailed beast was set to take place in a month.Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI-Fire.ɴet\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, his Sharingan's evolution progress would have crossed the 40,000\u002F50,000 mark, unlocking the fourth stage of \"Susano'o.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the fourth stage, \"Susano'o\" would gain a lower body and further increase in size, making it capable of going head-to-head with a tailed beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would undoubtedly add a crucial bargaining chip to his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, he could proceed with his mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if possible, he would prefer not to reveal this trump card, but it was always good to be prepared, wasn't it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, he needed the month to investigate the details surrounding the Seven-Tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Seimei formed a hand seal and once again performed the \"Multi-Shadow Clone Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, however, he summoned an additional shadow clone compared to before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the twelve shadow clones in front of him, Seimei skillfully assigned training tasks to eleven of them before dismissing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the remaining clone, Seimei said directly, \"The investigation is up to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, he had decided on the spot to assign a clone specifically to handle the investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for personally conducting the investigation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did he lack the time due to his training, but even if he had time, he wouldn't go himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, the turmoil in the village had more or less settled, but that was only on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei had not forgotten that, over the past few days, someone had been watching him whenever he entered or left the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that someone was unhappy about him remaining at large, so they were keeping an eye on him in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei wasn't sure whether they had already approached this island or not, but he wasn't going to take any risks that would give them evidence against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they had no evidence, they couldn't do anything to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, under no circumstances would Seimei personally go out to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when using a shadow clone, Seimei intended for it to act discreetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead, after hearing his orders, the shadow clone didn't waste words. It nodded briefly, then activated \"Wind Release: Wings of Wind\" and \"Chakra Cloak,\" soaring into the sky and leaving the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the clone's retreating figure, Seimei shook his head and stopped overthinking. Closing his eyes, he returned to his meditation and training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed quickly, and evening arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the final round of practice with the \"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique\" and dispelling it, Seimei glanced toward the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow clone he had sent out still hadn't returned, not even leaving him a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only way Seimei could confirm it was still alive was through the memory-feedback effect that occurred when a shadow clone was destroyed. Since no memories had returned, the clone was clearly still active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond that, he knew nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Seimei wasn't particularly anxious. Investigations like this couldn't be rushed; patience was key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Seimei stopped worrying about the clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After packing up his things, he made a quick hand sign and activated \"Wind Release: Wings of Wind\" and \"Chakra Cloak,\" soaring into the sky and heading toward Konoha Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About half an hour later, he arrived back in the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, he once again felt the probing gaze on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei didn't go out of his way to show disdain or provoke the observers. First, it was pointless, and second, he didn't have the time for such theatrics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking quickly to the village's busiest street, Seimei randomly chose a restaurant to fill his stomach before returning to his residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he resumed his training to wrap up the day's work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, it was time to rest and recharge for the next day's training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's life was both monotonous and fulfilling.\u003C\u002Fp>",1214,"2026-06-06T03:30:58.835Z",1,"novelbin.me","e8bb6356b390aa1472e97d207a1e056843dd46ec30d49e52e82f036a8ac4a1e4","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-682","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-680",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
