Most of the time, he wandered around, relaxing his mind and body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Konoha's investigation into the recent attack had reached a preliminary conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Seimei had expected, he wasn't under serious suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the orders regarding him remained the same as when he was called back to the village: no orders, no leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also meant the matter had, for now, come to a close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this order in hand, Seimei decided it was time to resume his rigorous training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was the day he planned to leave the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Seimei quickly got out of bed. After freshening up, he performed the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, creating a shadow clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his real body geared up, used Ten no Go to slip past the Anbu ninjas monitoring him, and left his residence without a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right—there were two Anbu ninjas keeping tabs on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, \"monitoring\" might not be the best word, since they weren't exactly trying to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, their presence was a statement from the village—or rather, from Namikaze Minato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei was willing to respect that, so he used Ten no Go to avoid their line of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one last glance at the two, Seimei didn't waste any more time and quickly left the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he was far enough to be out of their surveillance range, he dispelled Ten no Go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to avoid being spotted later, he performed Henge no Jutsu, transforming into an ordinary Uchiha ninja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he continued on, leaving the Uchiha clan's grounds and heading to the training field on the village's outskirts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he entered the forest, he picked up his pace, dashing toward the village's outer perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he arrived at the sensory barrier at the village's edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei activated his Byakugan, glanced around to ensure no one was watching, then used Ten no Go again, walking straight toward the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, he passed through it without triggering any alarms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without pausing, Seimei kept moving, traveling a bit farther until he was certain he was completely out of Konoha's surveillance range. Only then did he dispel Ten no Go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Focusing his mind, Seimei locked onto the Hiraishin mark on an island in the southern seas of the Land of Fire and activated Hiraishin no Jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, the scene before his eyes changed abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the lush forest transformed into an endless expanse of ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inhale… Exhale…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath and slowly letting it out, Seimei felt the familiar salty air and couldn't help but let a genuine smile spread across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he hadn't faced any real danger recently, everything that had happened had left him mentally drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, seeing this familiar ocean again, he felt his mind at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected, compared to scheming with people, I much prefer quietly training,\" Seimei murmured to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he quickly formed hand seals, casting Fūton: Kaze no Tsubasa (Wind Release: Wings of Wind) and cloaking himself in a Chakra Hagoromo (Chakra Cloak). He took to the sky, beginning his routine check of the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he had scanned a radius of over ten kilometers with his Byakugan, finding nothing out of the ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied, Seimei didn't waste any more time. He performed Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, creating over a hundred shadow clones to start training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, since he had already mastered Doton: Keijūgan no Jutsu (Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique) and Doton: Kajūgan no Jutsu (Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Technique) to perfection, he was now working on developing Doton: Chō Keijūgan no Jutsu (Earth Release: Ultra Light-Weight Rock Technique) and Doton: Chō Kajūgan no Jutsu (Earth Release: Ultra Added-Weight Rock Technique).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant the previous grouping of his shadow clones was no longer suitable, and he needed to reorganize them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This step took him over a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, the efficiency of his training reached its peak, with chakra consumption reduced to a minimum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, Seimei trained silently for three days, following the new grouping method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That afternoon, as he once again recalled all his shadow clones and absorbed their training experience and memories from the past hour, he felt something different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Seimei opened his eyes and muttered, \"Did it work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he closed his eyes again, carefully sifting through the memories in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a full half-hour, Seimei opened his eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was still a bit unfocused, as if he were lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a little while, he fully snapped back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing up, Seimei leaped off the massive boulder at the island's center, landing on a nearby clearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he raised his hands and began forming seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his movements were slow, as if he were carefully controlling something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And indeed, he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he was attempting wasn't just any ninjutsu—it was Doton: Chō Kajūgan no Jutsu, which he had been working on for nearly five days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The technique's development was even harder than he'd anticipated. He had conservatively estimated three to five days, but he hadn't expected it to actually take almost the full five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was carefully manipulating his chakra, coordinating it with his hand seals to perform the technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second, two seconds, three seconds…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than ten seconds, Seimei finally stopped forming seals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a low shout, he activated the technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, the ground beneath his feet cracked violently, and both of his legs sank into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei could clearly feel that his body's density had increased by at least tenfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this state, a single punch from him would be at least ten times more powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that, but the increased density also boosted his defensive capabilities to a certain extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei touched his skin, roughly estimating that its defensive strength was nearly on par with the Doton: Kōka Jutsu (Earth Release: Hardening Technique) he had previously mastered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was just when used on himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Doton: Chō Kajūgan no Jutsu could also be applied to others or objects, with equally impressive effects!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, when Ōnoki faced the Ten-Tails' split forms, he used this technique to pin them down, rendering them immobile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or take his son, Loess, who used it to suppress the emergence of the Gedō Mazō.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The potential of this technique was immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that wasn't all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When mastered to a certain level, it could create something akin to a gravity field, drastically increasing pressure in a specific area. With enough chakra, it could even alter the terrain itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Seimei wasn't anywhere near that level yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, he had only just etched the technique onto his \"panel,\" and strictly speaking, he hadn't even fully entered the beginner stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to aim too high too soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After trying it a few more times and gaining a deeper understanding, Seimei shifted his focus to Doton: Chō Keijūgan no Jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Doton: Chō Kajūgan no Jutsu, this technique was even harder to develop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, when he successfully etched Chō Kajūgan no Jutsu onto his panel, Chō Keijūgan no Jutsu still hadn't succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after his recent attempts with Chō Kajūgan no Jutsu and the insights gained from comparison, he was now confident he could pull it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1283,"2026-06-06T03:31:02.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","d34666f0790ecd0412534f4c7b08e7cf268877b993355d4a542602be965beb20","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-849","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-848",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
