Although he had yet to obtain the Seven-Tails, he already considered it as good as his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what he hadn't expected was that even after another day had passed, Takigakure still had not made a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without their action, his shadow clone was unable to locate the Seven-Tails' sealing site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, he had no way to take action himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an extremely passive situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That said, it wasn't all bad news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, Kumogakure had not launched another large-scale attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the Cloud-nin tasked with investigating the missing infiltration team in the Demon Wailing Forest had also refrained from causing trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This allowed him to focus on training without distractions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From here on, all he needed to do was follow his plan step by step and wait for the shadow clone he had planted in Takigakure to send back intel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He refused to believe that Takigakure would remain idle forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it turned out, the information his shadow clone had gathered earlier—indicating that Takigakure would take action within a week—was quite accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Night\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei was still training inside his tent when a memory fragment suddenly surfaced in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing that this memory was from the shadow clone stationed inside Takigakure, he immediately stopped his training and quickly sifted through the recollection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring the mundane daily details, he focused on the events of the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he found the crucial piece of information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour ago, Takigakure had suddenly issued a village-wide lockdown order, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, all of the village's barriers had been fully activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the village's shinobi were on edge. No one knew what was happening, and while many wanted to go out and investigate, they were forced to comply with the lockdown order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, while the others remained clueless, the shadow clone had a pretty good idea of what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takigakure had not faced any external threats recently, so a sudden operation of this scale could mean only one thing—the village leadership was preparing to transplant the Seven-Tails and create a Jinchūriki, one of the shinobi world's \"nuclear weapons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing the opportunity to slip away unnoticed, the shadow clone immediately dispelled itself, sending back the memory and intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's Immediate Response\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reading up to this point, Seimei's eyes snapped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he quickly packed his equipment, grabbed a pre-prepared mask, and put it on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, expending over a thousand chakra points, he activated the \"Flying Thunder God Technique\" and instantly teleported across a vast distance, arriving in the forest outside Takigakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that the shadow clone hadn't left a chakra marker inside the village—it had. However, Seimei feared that teleporting directly inside would alert the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the sudden disappearance of his shadow clone might have already drawn suspicion. If an unknown intruder suddenly appeared as well, the village might cancel its plans entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that happened, all his preparations would be for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, to be safe, he chose the longer route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One might wonder—why would the disappearance of a single shadow clone attract attention in a village full of shinobi?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadow clone had been posing as Mizutani Yuuichi, a Jōnin. Although he wasn't part of the village's core leadership, Takigakure was a small ninja village with few Jōnin to begin with. A major operation like this naturally required all available Jōnin to participate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizutani Yuuichi had been assigned to guard the village perimeter and prevent intruders from approaching or infiltrating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely by taking advantage of this assignment that the shadow clone had managed to slip away and dispel itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, his disappearance had likely been noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant Seimei had to be extremely cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various thoughts flashed through his mind as he quickly reviewed his plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, forming a hand seal, he activated the \"Wind Release: Wings of Wind\" and \"Chakra Cloak,\" ascending into the sky and flying toward Takigakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forest wasn't too far from the village. A ninja running at full speed would take about an hour to reach it, but by flying, he could cover the distance in just two to three minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering Takigakure\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Seimei spotted the massive waterfall that concealed Takigakure's entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to admit—it was a truly breathtaking sight, even at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he hadn't come here for sightseeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hovering above the village, he formed a hand seal and released the \"Guardian Seal\" on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, focusing his mind, he activated his Byakugan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, his vision penetrated the Konoha forehead protector and the mask covering his face, allowing him to see everything within a kilometer below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as his shadow clone's memories had indicated, there were numerous Takigakure shinobi hidden in the vicinity. They had formed a loose perimeter around the village, ensuring its security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this distance, the night provided him with ample cover, allowing him to remain undetected in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if he descended any lower, he would inevitably be discovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would be troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After considering his options, Seimei activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he triggered his left-eye ability—Amatsunagi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, his body vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if he had stepped into another dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as if he were simply walking through an open door, he reappeared at the base of the waterfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From there, he strode confidently into Takigakure, as if returning home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Effortlessly passing through multiple checkpoints, he finally reached the village's inner area. Finding an unoccupied corner, he deactivated Amatsunagi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under his mask, a streak of blood trickled from his left eye, resembling a crimson tear—a sight both eerie and otherworldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei closed his left eye, feeling the sharp pain radiating from it. He knew he had pushed the technique to its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, his Sharingan's evolution stood at (40,550\u002F50,000). He could sustain Amatsunagi for a maximum of fifty seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he had moved swiftly, Takigakure's complex entrance and numerous guards had forced him to remain phased out for over forty seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was dangerously close to his limit, putting immense strain on his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for his exceptionally strong physique, his vision would have deteriorated significantly by now. Instead, he remained unaffected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he had to be careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his current pace, it would take nearly two more months to reach (50,000\u002F50,000) and evolve his eyes into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, permanently eliminating the risk of blindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't afford to mess up now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking off those thoughts, Seimei took a moment to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once his eye pain had subsided, he set off again—heading toward the location his shadow clone had identified as the most likely site for the Seven-Tails' sealing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he didn't rely entirely on Amatsunagi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once inside the village's barriers, it would be much harder for others to detect him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he could afford to take a bolder approach—disguising himself as a different person while moving through the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he encountered a patrol he couldn't evade, then and only then would he use Amatsunagi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strategy would significantly reduce the strain on his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>rread mrore inpatreon\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>belamy20\u003C\u002Fp>",1208,"2026-06-06T03:30:59.574Z",1,"novelbin.me","c4dad67b6685c61fb7e1b53a502812b0f214deeb667a5ffe869bdd4966624b73","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-707","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-950",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
