He sat there spacing out for a bit before shaking it off, refocusing, and diving back into his training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, over a hundred shadow clones popped up without a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He split them up like it was second nature, assigning groups to work on different skills, and got the ball rolling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another day passed in a blink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as planned, his \"Lightning Release: Thunderstrike Sword\" broke through, jumping from Level 6 (9,100\u002F10,000) to a perfect Level 7 (0\u002F0).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, when he used it, he could summon a lightning sword in his palm that looked and felt like a real weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only could it stick around for a while, but after cutting down an enemy, he could keep it going by feeding it more chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bumped up his control over lightning chakra's shape transformation by a solid chunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, he had a gut feeling this jutsu would come in handy later when he tried cooking up something like \"Lightning Release: Raikiri,\" which needs a ton of condensed lightning chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad he didn't have the spare chakra to mess around with that now—he'd have to wait until he nabbed the Four-Tails to give it a shot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the chakra this jutsu saved him now that it was maxed out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like he'd planned, he funneled it straight into nurturing his Byakugan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that wasn't the only win that day. His \"Fire Release: Condensed Flame Strike\" also got a boost. With an investment of 306,000 chakra points, he patched up its current flaws, racked up the last 500 proficiency points, and pushed it past Level 7 to Level 8.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the island, in front of a short hill, Seimei soaked in the insights flooding his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, he opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hands, formed seals, and quickly channeled his chakra, converting it to fire release. It flowed out through the chakra points in his palms, gathering between his hands into a crimson fireball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thing wasn't big, but the heat it gave off? You couldn't ignore it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next thing you know, it was like the fireball cracked open. A bright flame shot out, blasting toward a spot ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhhk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame streaked out fast, turning into a fiery pillar that slammed dead-on into the hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, an attack this fierce—especially fire release—would blow up on impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But nope, no explosion. Where the pillar hit, it left a straight, charred line. When it struck the hill, all it did was carve out a pitch-black pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, Seimei activated his Byakugan and checked out the hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a bit, he pulled his gaze back and mumbled, \"Fifteen meters, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yep, that pit from \"Condensed Flame Strike\" was a full fifteen meters deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was with him standing a fair distance from the hill. Get closer, and it'd dig even deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's the kind of power this jutsu was packing now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond the raw strength, hitting Level 8 brought another perk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flicked his panel open with a thought and glanced at the proficiency and chakra stats for \"Condensed Flame Strike.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparing it to before, the math was easy: practicing it now only cost him 200 chakra points per proficiency point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, that's still pricier than most jutsu, but compared to the 600 or 700 points it guzzled a few days ago, it was a steal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretty much what he'd expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he knew once it hit the top of Level 8, the cost would spike again—probably worse than Level 7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for now, he didn't have to sweat the proficiency grind slowing down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How long would \"now\" last?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 306,000 chakra points a day, he'd have at least a month before the difficulty really kicked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, he might've already snagged Old Man Onoki and the Four-Tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that happened, he could just pour in more chakra to speed things up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No point worrying about it ahead of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, he tested the upgraded \"Condensed Flame Strike\" a few more times, then hopped back to the big rock in the island's center to start the next round of training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, the days ticked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days later, this training cycle hit the ten-day mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Seimei headed back to the Leaf Village, took a day to rest, and stockpiled 1.4 million chakra points while he was at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should've been 3.4 million, but he hadn't stopped nurturing his Byakugan, so that's where the rest went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, those 1.4 million points? He could sock them away as an emergency stash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simple: with \"Chakra Scalpel\" and \"Thunderstrike Sword\" hitting max level one after the other, plus him pausing his foresight research on \"Reflection Technique,\" he was saving over 356,000 chakra points a day—up from 350,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant he didn't need to tap into that stash to cover his Byakugan nurturing anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, those extra 1.4 million points could just sit there, ready when he needed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that reserve-kernel kernels, he kicked off his next training cycle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one day in, his \"Earth Release: Black Soil Rain\" leveled up, hitting the B-rank jutsu cap at Level 7 (0\u002F0)!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, another earth jutsu—\"Earth Release: Earth Vein Dragon\"—followed suit, maxing out at Level 7 (0\u002F0) too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, on the fourth day of the cycle, \"Lightning Release: Thunder Beast Performance\" broke through, also capping at Level 7 (0\u002F0).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, he was banking 230,000 extra chakra points a day (80,000 + 80,000 + 70,000).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei didn't rush to spend it—he just stored it all in his brow space for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later, \"Fire Release: Crimson Lotus Prison Flame\" pulled off its own breakthrough, jumping from Level 8 to a perfect Level 9 (0\u002F0).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This upgrade didn't just give him a slick combo of defense and offense—it also deepened his grasp of fire chakra's shape transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then, he was dead sure: if he could max out \"Condensed Flame Strike\" and nail down fire chakra's nature transformation, he'd be on the cusp of fusing it with the other six attributes to unlock a Bloodline Network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was for later. Right now, the big win was \"Crimson Lotus Prison Flame\" saving him another 400,000 chakra points daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That brought his spare chakra up to 630,000 points a day.\u003C\u002Fp>",1064,"2026-06-06T03:31:01.824Z",1,"novelbin.me","8564f492a0e06d82f48e82349e487d978b5835833bc0817ecefa759058ce1ad2","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-810","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-808",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
