He was reaching his breaking point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Senluo Wanxiang Seal had been upgraded, he had reached a temporary milestone in his training. It was time to relax a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, too much of anything is bad. Even in training, balance is crucial. Seimei had no intention of pushing himself to the point of collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision shifted abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One moment, he was standing on a giant rock on the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next, he was inside his training room at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost the instant he arrived, faint footsteps echoed in the quiet room. The door to the training chamber swung open, and a figure stepped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than his shadow clone, which he had left behind in the village to keep up appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the shadow clone dispersed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Seimei's mind was flooded with the past few days' worth of memories from his clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the information was substantial, he was already accustomed to handling such mental overloads—especially now that he had been using dozens of shadow clones for simultaneous training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, most of the memories were repetitive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly sorted through them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as he finished reviewing the memories, his brows furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past week, for some unknown reason, both the village and the Uchiha clan had significantly increased their patrols, as if they were searching for someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, his shadow clone, following his instructions, had kept a low profile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, while it had noticed some abnormalities, it hadn't investigated further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant Seimei had no clear idea of what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood in place, thinking for a while, but still couldn't piece anything together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he decided to let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever it was, he'd deal with it tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just wanted to take a hot bath and get a good night's sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just because he wasn't looking for trouble didn't mean trouble wouldn't come looking for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he lay down and drifted into sleep, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the footsteps weren't particularly loud, they were close enough to jolt his heightened senses awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Seimei's eyes snapped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying in bed, he had been snoring just a moment ago. Now, he was fully alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, he flipped over, grabbed the long blade beside him, and moved toward the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peering through a narrow gap, he spotted two standard four-man patrol squads of Uchiha ninja approaching from opposite sides of the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them, Seimei immediately recalled the abnormalities his shadow clone had observed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looks like something really is going on in the village. My shadow clone wasn't wrong—these people are definitely looking for someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pondered this, the squad leader of the right-side patrol team suddenly stopped in his tracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his gaze snapped toward Seimei's direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—more accurately, he was looking right at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the dim moonlight, the ninja's scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan glowed ominously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the brief moment their eyes met, a surge of powerful spiritual energy infused with chakra shot toward Seimei's mind through the gaze, attempting to drag him into an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That familiar sensation…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei immediately recognized it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Uchiha clan's signature genjutsu—Genjutsu: Sharingan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone to project such a powerful illusion from this distance, their Three-Tomoe Sharingan had to be at its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the Uchiha, aside from Fugaku Uchiha and a few elders who had honed their skills over time, there was only one other person capable of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shisui Uchiha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei whispered the name, unaffected by the genjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it was none other than Shisui Uchiha, a prodigy even younger than Seimei himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recognizing Seimei's identity, Shisui withdrew his illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the three other Uchiha in his squad were startled by their leader's sudden halt and wary stance. They immediately took up defensive positions, scanning their surroundings cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two seconds…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three seconds…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than ten seconds of silence, nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the team members finally spoke up. \"Captain, did you find something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui briefly glanced back at Seimei before answering, \"No, it's just one of our own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for further questions, he added, \"You guys continue with the mission—I'll step away for a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Captain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although confused, the three Uchiha obeyed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that they trusted Shisui immensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them acknowledge his command, Shisui nodded before vanishing in a blur, using Body Flicker Technique to leave the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few moments later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Seimei's house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock, knock, knock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A firm yet measured knock echoed at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creaaak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door swung open from the inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Shisui standing at the entrance, Seimei, still visibly fatigued, sighed. \"Come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, Shisui had come to find him after leaving his squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei had anticipated this, so he had already dressed and waited by the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui, not bothering with pleasantries, nodded and stepped into the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the living room, the two sat in silence for a moment before Shisui finally spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the redness in Seimei's eyes and his weary expression, Shisui asked with concern, \"Seimei, you look…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the genuine concern in his voice, Seimei waved a hand dismissively. \"It's nothing—just overtraining.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Shisui could respond, Seimei cut to the chase. \"What's going on lately? The patrols have been unusually frequent. Are you guys searching for someone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui hesitated for a moment before nodding. \"Yes, both the Uchiha and the village patrol teams are looking for someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\" Seimei pressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Over the past few days, the village's sensory barrier has been triggered multiple times,\" Shisui explained. \"It seems someone has infiltrated the village.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Triggered the barrier? An intruder?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right,\" Shisui confirmed. \"Based on the analysis from the Barrier Corps, the intruder most likely used space-time ninjutsu. You know how dangerous that is. That's why we're searching for this person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Seimei's heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could they be talking about me?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly dismissed the thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No—he hadn't returned to the village all week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoever triggered the barrier was someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>",1111,"2026-06-06T03:30:59.574Z",1,"novelbin.me","025d7cc02bf05f55cdc3b46e41b3ec958a048599106c18eb0fbd16dbfeacc118","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-748","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-746",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
