Minato Namikaze did not bring up anything about Danzo; he merely inquired about certain details of the mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the main discussion was concluded, Minato began asking about unrelated matters, such as Seimei's views on certain village policies and whether he had any suggestions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that Minato had strong intentions to reform the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Seimei had no interest in getting involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was well known that, throughout history and across all worlds, reform was always the most difficult endeavor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was said that shaking the soul was easy, but shaking vested interests was difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reform inevitably meant infringing upon the interests of the old guard to redistribute benefits to a new group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would undoubtedly provoke resistance from those whose interests were threatened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Minato Namikaze had the support of most of the village's younger generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as long as the old generation remained alive, his reforms would not proceed smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei had no intention of plunging into such a deep and unpredictable vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Certainly, with his current strength, he had little to fear from conspiracies or revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if he could cultivate in peace, why invite unnecessary trouble?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, when Minato subtly hinted at his hopes, Seimei decisively declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chatting for a little while longer, Seimei took his leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He first visited a familiar shop, enjoyed a satisfying meal, and then returned to the Uchiha clan grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as he was about to enter his home, someone intercepted him, informing him that Uchiha Fugaku was looking for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no other choice, Seimei headed toward Fugaku's residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, he speculated about the reason for the summons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After careful thought, he concluded that it was likely related to Minato's reforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the current relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village, only through reform could things truly change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a leader who constantly wavered between conservatism and radicalism, Uchiha Fugaku, upon seeing a peaceful resolution as a possibility, would naturally want to seize the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, approaching Seimei was a mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already made it clear that he would not get involved in this turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, his guess was correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering Fugaku's residence and exchanging some pleasantries, Fugaku began subtly probing whether Minato had consulted him on the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words also contained a veiled request for Seimei to advocate for the Uchiha clan's interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei had no interest in engaging in empty pleasantries, so he directly conveyed his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fugaku's expression fluctuated, clearly displeased with Seimei's refusal to seize the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the end, he said nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some small talk, Seimei excused himself and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Fugaku's residence, Seimei originally intended to go straight home. However, after some thought, he changed direction and headed toward the Uchiha clan's secret archive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a pass personally signed by the Grand Elder, he had unrestricted access to study and learn from the clan's vast collection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since obtaining the pass, he had never used it once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, he had too many skills to practice, and having just acquired Danzo's collection, there was no urgency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with most of his skills maxed out and the additional chakra reserves provided by the Seven-Tails, it was time for him to study the Uchiha clan's secret techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first priority was the life-saving technique—Izanagi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, he possessed the ability of 'Heaven's Mandate,' which greatly reduced the risk of life-threatening situations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was not absolute. There was always the possibility of encountering a jutsu or technique that countered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, learning Izanagi was essential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, it would give him another way to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when it came to survival techniques, he welcomed them all without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the cost of using Izanagi…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically speaking, if one's life was at stake, why worry about losing an eye?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the blindness it caused was not necessarily permanent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on Uchiha Madara's later recovery, it was evident that upgrading the Sharingan to the Rinnegan could negate this drawback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And was he capable of achieving this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his proficiency system, Seimei had absolute confidence that he could!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from Izanagi, he also intended to learn its counterpart—Izanami.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was foreseeable that, in this timeline, with his presence, the Uchiha clan was unlikely to be exterminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that Izanagi could become widely known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he needed a way to counter it, even if it came at the cost of another Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a sword and not using it was vastly different from not having a sword at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei refused to find himself unprepared when the moment of crisis arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He always preferred to plan ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, he would never be caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gathering his thoughts, Seimei turned his attention to the third target—Transcription Seal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This powerful sealing technique required the ocular power of the Mangekyō Sharingan to be cast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It allowed a specific technique or dōjutsu to be preemptively sealed within one's own or another's body and triggered under set conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This technique paired exceptionally well with Izanagi, making it a must-learn skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, mastering it required repeatedly consuming ocular power. While recoverable, it meant he couldn't simply brute-force his way through with chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, its growth would be tied to the steady enhancement of his ocular power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After securing this technique, Seimei moved on to another secret technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than the A-rank genjutsu—Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This technique allowed the user to instantly reflect an enemy's genjutsu back at them upon seeing through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Sharingan had long since gained the ability to see through illusions, but he had lacked a high-level countermeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had learned it, once mastered, it would allow him to nullify almost all genjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the four newly acquired secret techniques, Seimei couldn't help but sigh inwardly: \"It's truly a blessing that the Uchiha clan hasn't been wiped out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, gathering these secret techniques would have taken an immense amount of effort. The heritage of a millennium-old clan was indeed formidable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was even after Uchiha Madara had looted much of it. Otherwise, the Uchiha archives would have been even more extensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about Madara's fire-style jutsu and other skills, Seimei made up his mind—if given the chance, he would definitely dig up Madara's grave in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>",1186,"2026-06-06T03:30:59.574Z",1,"novelbin.me","19164b60796860ecb93923023696ab1246551df44893201f06f47d60b7e49416","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-718","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-716",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
