Right now, he was busy mulling over how to divvy up his chakra next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With \"Heart Lock Seal\" and \"Illusion · Mirror Heaven and Earth Shift\" hitting their max levels, he'd freed up 500,000 points of chakra (200,000 + 300,000) to use however he wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd tossed 50,000 of that into \"Lightning Release Chakra Mode\" to boost its body-enhancing efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That left him with 450,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, maxing out \"Transcription Seal\" saved him another 300,000 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All told, that gave him 750,000 points to play with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he'd planned to siphon off some of that chakra to build a new cursed seal technique—like the \"Tongue Calamity Eradication Seal\"—based on \"Transcription Seal\" and \"Heart Lock Seal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after this morning's test on the Byakugan's limits, he scrapped that idea for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to nurturing his Byakugan, cooking up a new cursed seal was just icing on the cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without it, he could still pull off similar effects—it'd just take a bit more effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd already proven that with the Mist ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, there was no point in wasting chakra on it right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heck, he wasn't even sure he had enough chakra as it was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After evolving once, his Byakugan could handle two million points of chakra a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he dumped all 750,000 of these points into it, plus the 900,000 he usually put in daily, that'd only get him to 1.65 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, to max out the Byakugan's evolution speed, he'd still need to scrape together another 350,000 points every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on his old pattern of resting once every ten days—stockpiling 3.4 million points during that break—it'd just barely cover ten days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here's the catch, though: in the past, he didn't fully slack off on rest days. Stuff like nurturing the Byakugan never stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That took two million points right there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>3,400,000 minus 2,000,000 equaled 1,400,000!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That amount would only last him four days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, if he kept nurturing the Byakugan on rest days, out of the next ten days, he'd only get four days of maxing out its growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other six days?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd be stuck at 1.65 million points a day, netting him just 8 evolution points each time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that dragged on too long, the Byakugan's second evolution would get delayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that wasn't even counting what'd happen four months from now, when his body transformed again, fully integrating Hashirama's cells, and started ramping up the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan's chakra drain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by Uchiha Madara's experience, that step was gonna need a ton of chakra too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei wasn't about to wait until he was old and gray to evolve his Sharingan into the Rinnegan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, yeah, his chakra shortage was a real problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could he stockpile enough on his own? Sure, in theory—his \"Physique\" and \"Spirit\" stats were still climbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that'd take forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei wasn't that patient. He needed to boost his supply and cut waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cutting waste was straightforward—fight less, skip pointless stuff, and don't squander a single drop of chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for boosting supply…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flicker of thought, Seimei fished the metal orb sealing the Seven-Tails out of his ninja pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probed it with his mental energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, the Seven-Tails looked better than yesterday. Still a bit sluggish, sure, but it was starting to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this state, though, it couldn't give him any chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, the million points it could supply daily was already baked into his regular training routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it fully recovered, it wouldn't cough up any extra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei's plan to boost his supply wasn't about squeezing more out of the Seven-Tails—it was about nabbing more tailed beasts like it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every tailed beast was a walking chakra battery. Get ahold of them, and you've got a steady stream of juice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when he'd planted his pawn in the Mist Village, he'd had his eye on the Three-Tails for that exact reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Problem was, the Three-Tails wouldn't revive for over a year, and he couldn't wait that long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he needed another target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind raced through an old analysis he'd done on where the tailed beasts were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon enough, he locked onto one—the Four-Tails!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yup, the Four-Tails from the Hidden Rock Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, its jinchuriki, Old Man Roshi, was a solid ninja who wasn't half-bad at wielding tailed-beast power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he and the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, didn't see eye to eye on a lot of things, so Roshi wouldn't stick around the village forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that gave Seimei an opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It'd been a while since the Third Shinobi World War ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Onoki's mindset hadn't shifted—and the Rock Village was still the same as it was in the future—Roshi should be heading out around now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any changes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei thought back to any impact he might've had on the Rock Village. After a moment, he figured a stubborn old goat like Onoki wouldn't tweak his plans just because of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Seimei wasn't a Rock ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Roshi leaving was pretty much a sure thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next step: track him down and yank the Four-Tails out of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where to start?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Easy—the Land of Earth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True, based on future memories, Roshi would eventually roam the whole ninja world as a wandering monk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this point in time, Seimei doubted Onoki and the Rock Village brass would let him stray too far from the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Roshi had already left, he was probably still kicking around somewhere in the Land of Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's where Seimei would focus his search.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Decision made, he quickly used the \"Shadow Clone Technique,\" leaving a clone behind in the village to hold down the fort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for himself, he packed up his gear and slipped out of Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was set on snagging the Four-Tails, he needed to prep and track down Roshi fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good thing he didn't have training today—he could head straight to the Land of Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Konoha…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei activated his Byakugan, scanning the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one around, no sneaky eyes watching. Satisfied, he locked onto a Flying Thunder God mark he'd left in the woods outside Takigakure and triggered the \"Flying Thunder God Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simple—it was the closest mark he had to the Land of Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision blurred for a split second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next thing he knew, he was standing in the forest outside Takigakure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perched on a familiar tree, Seimei glanced at the Flying Thunder God mark he'd carved into the trunk back at level 7. With a swipe of his hand, he reshaped it into a black sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There we go, much better,\" he muttered, nodding in approval before making the mark fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he formed seals, casting \"Wind Release · Wings of Wind\" followed by \"Chakra Cloak.\" With a thought, he took off into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>",1141,"2026-06-06T03:31:01.824Z",1,"novelbin.me","5e60a512129a4da62b7d0059a1062f98ba00e5f6b734f9a00d316d25b083a21d","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-803","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-801",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
