Did you notice something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulled from his thoughts, Seimei quickly shook his head. \"No, I just thought of something else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of revealing any information about Obito.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't because he was afraid of altering the so-called \"plot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the moment he killed Danzo ahead of time, the original \"storyline\" had already lost much of its relevance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he chose not to share this intel was simple: he couldn't explain how he knew it, and, more importantly, he had his own plans for Obito.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Obito had been implanted with a significant amount of Hashirama's cells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Seimei could get his hands on some of those cells and implant them into his own body…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, by leveraging his Human Dominion ability—just like how he assimilated the Byakugan—he could integrate Hashirama's cells into himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he didn't immediately gain Wood Release, his physical capabilities would improve drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the legendary Sage Body—a power with unparalleled potential in the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows? He might even unlock the secrets of Sage Mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could safely absorb natural energy, he could use it to strengthen his body and optimize his genes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, he wouldn't have to worry about improving his physique anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for concerns about mixing bloodlines and potentially diluting his Uchiha heritage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankly, Seimei didn't care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he inhabited this body, he wasn't a native-born Uchiha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the very beginning, his goal had always been singular: to keep surpassing his limits and ultimately transcend this world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as something brought him closer to that goal, it didn't matter whether it was a \"black cat\" or a \"white cat\"—results were all that counted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Various thoughts flashed through his mind before he quickly refocused. Looking at Shisui, he casually asked, \"Where does this mysterious figure usually appear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui, not suspecting anything, assumed Seimei was simply trying to help and immediately replied, \"Most commonly near the graveyard, though he's also been spotted around our clan's district.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the mention of the graveyard, Seimei became even more certain of his guess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Uchiha district?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito's reasoning was likely similar to his own—it was the least monitored area in the village, reducing the risk of detection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Kamui's near-invincibility, Obito wouldn't be reckless. It made sense for him to change locations occasionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, this was his childhood home. Even though his mind was filled with vengeance against the Hidden Leaf and Minato Namikaze, reminiscing about the past was only natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Seimei pieced together Obito's thought process, Shisui suddenly spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right, Seimei. We just got a report from the village's barrier team. They detected a spatial fluctuation in this area—probably that person appearing again. We were sent to investigate. Did you notice anything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei was momentarily speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previous disturbances weren't his doing, but this time? Yeah… that was probably on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had just used the Flying Thunder God technique to return, and the barrier team detected spatial activity right after? What were the odds?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, no way was he admitting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, he replied, \"I don't know. I had already gone to bed and didn't notice anything unusual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shisui sounded a little disappointed but didn't doubt him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been tracking this mysterious figure for days without success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that the enemy's space-time jutsu was extremely advanced, and their ability to remain hidden was exceptional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that case, it made sense that Seimei wouldn't have spotted anything either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chatting a bit more, Shisui took his leave—he still had other tasks to handle and couldn't stay long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei assured him that he would keep an eye out and report anything suspicious immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>### Outside the Door\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei watched as Shisui's figure disappeared into the distance. He stood there for a while before finally heading back inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shut the door behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in his room, he sat on the edge of his bed—not rushing to sleep, but instead contemplating how to get what he wanted from Obito.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito's intangible ability made him almost untouchable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Obito became even slightly wary, getting close to him would be nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant Seimei had to strike before Obito realized he was a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And considering the presence of Black Zetsu lurking behind Obito, Seimei had to be extra careful not to expose too much of his own abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made his mission even more difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pondered his strategy for a long time. Eventually, exhaustion got the better of him, and he laid down to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, though, he didn't remove his clothes or put away his weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, he was confident that the detected spatial fluctuation was his doing…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what if it wasn't?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Obito was truly lurking nearby, he needed to be prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better safe than sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the worst-case scenario didn't happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his sleep was restless, he still managed to get through the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By morning, he felt like much of his fatigue from intense training had finally subsided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he spent the day properly relaxing, he'd be back in peak condition soon enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he could dive back into training with his full focus.\u003C\u002Fp>",1039,"2026-06-06T03:30:59.574Z",1,"novelbin.me","b124be04c27cc8ea44d1e19322b4404559052b616d886666e4a5a8ca856cff4e","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-749","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-747",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
