He merely lifted his head slightly before closing his eyes again, as if he were sleeping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, that wasn't far from the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past month, due to the constant extraction of chakra from his body, his condition had deteriorated significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although most of the chakra extracted was from the Seven-Tails' leakage, one could not forget that a Tailed Beast's chakra is inherently corrosive to the human body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the seal were intact, it would be manageable—Shemu's own chakra could suppress it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to ensure that the Seven-Tails' chakra leaked out as much as possible, Seimei had deliberately torn apart part of the seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Shemu completely unable to suppress the Tailed Beast's chakra from invading his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this period, Seimei had his shadow clone feed Shemu enough military ration pills to replenish his energy, but the situation still worsened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, both his physical and mental state were on the verge of collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was one of the reasons Seimei was eager to perfect the 'All-Encompassing Sealing Technique.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei did not want the Tailed Beast he had captured with such effort to enter the resurrection process just because its host died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, everything was going according to plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Seimei once again unrolled the massive scroll in his hand, spreading it out in front of Shemu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike usual, this time he did not immediately extract chakra as his shadow clones did, which made Shemu slightly puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, Shemu opened his eyes again, struggling to lift his head and look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the enormous scroll covered in dense sealing inscriptions, his heart inexplicably skipped a beat. Without thinking, he hoarsely asked, \"W-What is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Shemu's dry and raspy voice, Seimei lifted his gaze toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Seimei had no intention of responding. However, considering they had spent over a month together—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was mostly his shadow clones extracting Shemu's chakra, they had, in a way, built a certain 'acquaintance.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Seimei chose not to hide anything and answered directly, \"Nothing much, just something to seal a Tailed Beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seal a Tailed Beast?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shemu looked puzzled. \"Isn't the Tailed Beast already inside me? Why would you need to seal it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could voice his doubts, the Seven-Tails spoke in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint buzzing sound, akin to insect wings flapping, filled his head as the Seven-Tails spoke with urgency: \"Hey, kid, he's planning to kill you. Find a way to escape!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden voice caused Shemu's expression to freeze, and the words he had planned to say got stuck in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being the son of the former leader of Takigakure, he had been trained to maintain composure, hiding his emotions when necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he might have screamed out in shock at this unexpected voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, despite his outward calm, he was still a young man. No matter how steady he appeared, a slight change in his expression betrayed his inner turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, after answering Shemu's question, Seimei lowered his head and continued working on the scroll, paying him no further attention. This allowed Shemu to breathe a slight sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gathering his focus, he tentatively asked in his mind, \"Who are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, he had no idea that the voice belonged to the Seven-Tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his question, the Seven-Tails let out a cold snort and replied, \"Hmph, who am I? I'm the one sealed inside you—Seven-Tails!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding the urgency of the situation, the Seven-Tails did not bother with riddles. Though its tone carried a hint of irritation, it still answered Shemu's question directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven-Tails?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shemu was momentarily stunned before realization struck him, and he exclaimed, \"You have intelligence? You can communicate?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Takigakure—or at least Shemu—was unaware of such information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Seven-Tails let out a couple of mocking chuckles before responding, \"You humans are so arrogant. Is it really so hard to believe that I have intelligence? So many summoned beasts can communicate with humans—why would I be any different?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why haven't you spoken before?\" Shemu questioned again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph! Because humans are too greedy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Seven-Tails snorted coldly. Its tone carried both sarcasm and a hint of recollection, as if it had unpleasant memories of the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shemu instinctively wanted to refute this claim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he hesitated, unable to find the words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because… the Seven-Tails wasn't wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, there were humans with noble hearts, those who would sacrifice themselves for their ideals and beliefs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no denying that the majority of humans were greedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take Takigakure, for example—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the village elders knew the Seven-Tails could communicate, their first thought wouldn't be to engage in an equal conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they would exploit this fact and find ways to completely control it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Shemu found himself unable to argue back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he remained silent, the Seven-Tails spoke again: \"Kid, think of something! If he extracts me from your body, you'll die too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The urgency in the Seven-Tails' voice was apparent—it clearly did not want this to happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not out of concern for Shemu's well-being, but because it sensed danger from the scroll Seimei had unrolled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively, it knew that if Seimei succeeded in his sealing technique, freedom would become an unattainable dream for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This filled the Seven-Tails with dread, prompting it to urge Shemu to act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what could Shemu do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body was already in a severely weakened state. While Seimei had stopped extracting his chakra today, allowing some to remain, he was still tightly restrained by the 'Self-Imposed Cursed Seal Binding Formation,' bound by nine chakra chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such circumstances, resistance was nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, Seimei's real body was right in front of him—even if Shemu somehow broke free, his chances of escape were slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This realization left Shemu feeling hopeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Seimei finally completed his preparations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at Shemu, whose expression had become somewhat unnatural, Seimei chuckled softly but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, he hadn't heard the conversation between the Seven-Tails and Shemu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was well aware that Tailed Beasts possessed intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And intelligence meant the ability to assess threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shemu had been speaking normally just moments ago, only to suddenly freeze—there was no need to guess what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially now, with Shemu's odd behavior, it only confirmed Seimei's suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he remained unfazed, because whatever plan they had was impossible to execute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the confidence absolute power gave him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retracting his gaze, Seimei picked up a silver-white metallic sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he solemnly placed it at the center of the scroll, inside a circle inscribed with the character \"封\" (seal).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal sphere itself wasn't particularly special. If anything, the only remarkable aspect was the unique material it was made from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire sphere was crafted from a highly pure chakra-conducting metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the name suggests, chakra-conducting metal is a type of metal with excellent chakra conductivity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many high-quality ninja tools, such as the Kusanagi sword in Seimei's hands and the short sword obtained from the former Lightning Clan, which could unleash the \"Lightning Release: Lightning Flash Blade,\" contained traces of this material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was just with traces mixed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal sphere in his hands, however, was made entirely from this metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such purity, its chakra conductivity was undoubtedly top-tier—perhaps even unprecedented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't an exaggeration. Most ninja tools needed to balance durability, cost-effectiveness, and other functional properties, which required mixing in other metals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, their chakra conductivity was inevitably affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn't have to worry about those concerns, allowing him to refine the metal to the highest purity possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That said, this metal was extremely rare. Acquiring such a large piece had taken considerable effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he had managed to obtain it by disguising himself under a different identity while his Shadow Clone was away on a mission. He had all but forced the newly reorganized Takumi Village to sell him a piece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, he really did have a connection with Takumi Village. His Kusanagi sword had come from the previous leader of the village, and now this metal was obtained from them as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was enough to make Seimei feel a little guilty about targeting them again!\u003C\u002Fp>",1409,"2026-06-06T03:30:59.574Z",1,"novelbin.me","ea9f35641c0ddd67d0a3d48c1366ce3a5edc17b499c58b6b79c573c8b52b5a4c","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-736","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-734",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
