Some of it struck the ground, leaving scorched black craters. Some pierced through the air, releasing a faint, burnt stench. And some—well, some hit him directly, like a whip lashing across his flesh, leaving trails of charred marks on his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the stinging, burning pain from the wounds, Seimei frowned slightly and muttered to himself, \"Man, I got careless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his shadow clones were working on this technique earlier, they'd used the \"Chakra Cloak\" to shield themselves. That way, they could last a full hour without breaking apart from damage. But now, switching to his real body—where there's no risk of collapsing from injury—he'd totally forgotten that step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the day, his \"Lightning Release: Raikiri\" had only just been imprinted onto his panel. Sure, it was a lot more stable than during the experimental phase, but it still wasn't at beginner level yet. So, yeah, he should've taken the proper precautions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No more slip-ups next time!\" he mumbled under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good thing this was just \"Raikiri.\" Even if it went haywire, it'd only leave some surface scratches. If it were some trickier, more specialized ninjutsu, he might've landed himself in a bigger mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lesson learned. After mentally scolding himself to stop goofing off, Seimei raised his hands again, forming seals. First, he cast \"Chakra Cloak,\" wrapping himself in a faint cyan layer of chakra for protection. Then, he went for \"Lightning Release: Raikiri\" again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What? You're wondering about the injuries he just got?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorry, those little scrapes were nothing. With a quick thought, Seimei channeled some chakra, gave his body's natural healing a tiny boost, and they were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That alone gave a rough idea of his current \"Raikiri\"'s firepower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, the damage came from the technique going out of control—not a focused attack—but you can still get the gist of its real killing potential from that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spoiler: it wasn't much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, even though he had a hunch about its limits, Seimei wanted to test it for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzzzt~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That shrill, thousand-birds-chirping sound rang out again as lightning flared in his palm. \"Raikiri\" sparked to life once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not wanting it to fizzle out again, he didn't waste a second. He thrust his hand forward, slamming it into the big tree in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a thick, charred-wood smell hit his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the rapid crackle-pop of electricity hitting the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few breaths later, Seimei pulled his hand back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tree trunk now sported a shallow, slightly-larger-than-fist-sized black pit, surrounded by branching, lightning-scorched marks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the piercing power of Kakashi's \"Raikiri,\" his version was… well, let's just say it wasn't pretty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, his \"Raikiri\" had barely been imprinted on the panel—it wasn't even at beginner level. No way it could handle a ton of chakra yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, weak damage? Totally expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Seimei knew this was just temporary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the magic of his proficiency panel and a bit of elbow grease, it wouldn't take long to level it up. Once he pumped in his massive chakra reserves, its killing power would outshine even Kakashi's—no question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How fast that'd happen, though, depended on how much chakra it took to train \"Raikiri.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, Seimei replayed the whole casting process in his head, soaking up the experience. Then he raised his hands, formed the seals, and cast \"Raikiri\" again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That familiar bird-chirping noise filled the air once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzt-zzt-zzt~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed it into the tree trunk again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few breaths later, he pulled back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling out the sensations from that cast and absorbing the experience again, he repeated the process, firing off another \"Raikiri.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over and over, Seimei ran through it more than a dozen times, stopping only after his panel showed \"Raikiri\" had gained about a dozen proficiency points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Panel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, he pulled up his proficiency panel again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flicked to the chakra section as he started calculating the cost from those casts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since his \"Raikiri\" wasn't at beginner level yet, the chakra cost per proficiency point wasn't totally consistent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after those dozen-plus tries, he had enough data to make a rough guess about what it'd take to train it going forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, he had his answer: once it hit beginner level, each proficiency point would probably cost around 200 chakra points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, with his current daily input of 136,000 chakra points, he could rack up 680 proficiency points per day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that rate, it'd take five days to hit Level 5—his first big leap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, another 22 days to reach Level 7 for the second leap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for maxing it out at Level 9 (0\u002F0)—the limit for an A-rank ninjutsu and its third leap—that'd take a whopping three or four months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of timeline? No way Seimei could stomach it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, he didn't have a fix. He'd just have to wait until he nabbed the Four-Tails to speed things up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about the chakra he'd free up once \"Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique\" hit max level?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, with its 150,000 daily chakra investment, it'd reach Level 7 (0\u002F0) in less than half a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But don't forget—there were two other Earth Release techniques waiting in line for that spare chakra!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, \"Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Technique\" and \"Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique\" were just the start. Once they maxed out, they could evolve into \"Earth Release: Ultra-Added-Weight Rock Technique\" and \"Earth Release: Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those upgraded versions? Straight-up A-rank ninjutsu with a Level 9 cap. And since training Earth Release stuff already cost him more than other natures, there was no counting on that chakra anytime soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What about waiting for his body to evolve again, boosting his \"Physique\" stat and recovery rate for more usable chakra?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, first off, that'd still take him a little over three months. And even if he could evolve right now, the extra free chakra would have other uses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simple—by then, he'd have fully integrated Hashirama's cells into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That new chakra would go straight into refining \"Reflection Technique\" and covering its follow-up costs. No way he could spare any for \"Raikiri.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, his only real shot was hoping Old Purple showed up soon so he could snag the Four-Tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it'd just be a slow grind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a light huff, Seimei pushed the thoughts aside and refocused on his panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking it over, the past 20-ish days of training had actually paid off pretty well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For one, his chakra cap had jumped by over 35,000 points, hitting an unprecedented 480,000—just shy of 500,000 by less than 20,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No doubt about it, that was a massive pool of chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, after unlocking the alternate space with \"All-Encompassing Seal,\" his own chakra reserves didn't seem as critical anymore. As long as he stocked enough in there, he could tap into it whenever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was just a shortcut—it could crap out on him someday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, boosting his own chakra as much as possible was still the smart move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, as long as his \"Chakra Refinement Technique\" kept passively ticking, it'd keep digging into his body's potential and raising that cap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to sweat it too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond chakra, the other stuff worth noting was \"Fire Release: Flame Strike\" and \"Chakra Control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former was already past the halfway mark. At his current pace, it'd take maybe 10 more days to hit the Level 8 bottleneck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that happened, he'd need to pour in more chakra to break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the latter…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to maxing out skills like \"Lightning Release: Thunder Sword,\" \"Chakra Scalpel,\" \"Earth Release: Black Rain,\" \"Earth Release: Earth Vein Dragon,\" \"Lightning Release: Thunder Beast Performance,\" and \"Fire Release: Crimson Lotus Prison Fire,\" his proficiency had climbed again. It was now at Level 7 (18,500\u002F20,000)—just a hair away from Level 8.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once it broke through, no question it'd give his control over all chakra natures a huge boost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, he might not need to grind multiple skills just to tweak the shape and nature of specific chakra types.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was all just a hunch for now—nothing solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, and his \"Fire Release: Thousand Swallow Dance\" was about three days from maxing out too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it did, he'd free up 50,000 chakra points to play with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a ton, but better than nothing, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these thoughts flashed through his head. Seimei gave the panel one last glance before closing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a few quick flickers, he hopped back onto that giant rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing up at the sun on the horizon, it was still early. He hadn't finished today's training yet, so…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back to it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering to himself, Seimei raised his hands again, formed the seals for \"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique,\" and split off over a hundred clones to kick off another round of grinding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>read more inpat***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>belamy20\u003C\u002Fp>",1491,"2026-06-06T03:31:01.824Z",1,"novelbin.me","59e5fbef388ebab97bc27d537a3e3b390109d2e58e37bba1f019353d34d7a2c2","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-814","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-812",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
