Without wasting a second, he headed straight to the center of the island to kick off a new day of training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to yesterday's work organizing his shadow clones into new groups, he didn't have to overthink anything today. He could just focus on training with all his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that kind of focus made time fly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he knew it, nearly ten hours had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was mid-afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poof, poof, poof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei dispelled his Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, every shadow clone—on the island and beyond—vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a flood of memories rushed into Seimei's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steadying himself, he sifted through them, absorbing and processing the training experiences they contained, converting them into skill proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by, second by second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, as he took in the experiences from clones practicing other techniques, Seimei didn't feel anything unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he absorbed the memories of the clone training Katon: Jūen Geki (Fire Release: Flame Strike), a sudden spark of clarity hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, he didn't need to check his status panel to know—his Katon: Jūen Geki had leveled up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept his eyes closed, sinking fully into that moment of insight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second, two seconds, three seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One minute, two minutes, three minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full fifteen minutes later, Seimei finally opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were brimming with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After so many days, his Katon: Jūen Geki had finally accumulated that last bit of proficiency, making the final leap from Level 9 to the perfect Level 10 (0\u002F0).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave him another powerful offensive technique in his arsenal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that wasn't even the best part. The real win was that this breakthrough deepened his understanding of fire chakra nature transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like yesterday's breakthrough with Raiton: Raikiri (Lightning Release: Lightning Blade), this pushed his grasp of fire chakra to the point where he could start blending it with other chakra natures to develop a kekkei tōta.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he not be thrilled?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he let out a long sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, he'd had a hunch this would happen based on his experience with other ninjutsu, but until it actually did, there was always a chance his assumptions were off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he'd pulled it off, he could finally relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calming himself, Seimei refocused on the technique itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching the perfect Level 10 (0\u002F0) had brought some serious changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, he stood up, hopped down from the massive boulder at the island's center, and in a few quick flashes, arrived at the spot where he'd tested Raiton: Raikiri yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He eyed the tree a hundred meters away, pierced clean through by Raikiri, and the low hill behind it. Raising his hand, he formed the seals and unleashed Katon: Jūen Geki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, a blinding red beam shot from his fingertip, slicing precisely through the hole in the tree and striking the hill beyond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hill was scorched, a thumb-sized hole burned into it, its depths pitch-black and impossible to gauge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, Seimei activated his Byakugan, using its x-ray vision to inspect the hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was about ten meters deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That might seem shallower than the fifteen meters he'd achieved at Level 8, but back then, he'd been standing right in front of the hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was over a hundred meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add in the fact that the beam had threaded perfectly through the hole in the tree, and the improvement was undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, at Level 10 (0\u002F0), he wasn't limited to a single high-temperature beam anymore. By pumping in more chakra, he could fire multiple beams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, Seimei formed the seals again and cast Katon: Jūen Geki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fireball formed between his palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, five thumb-sized protrusions appeared on its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fireball swelled, then contracted sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, the protrusions burst, and five finger-thick high-temperature beams shot out, each angled slightly, aiming for different targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when Seimei saw the results, his brow furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beams had missed their marks by a fair bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, increasing the number of beams had cost him precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment's thought, he formed the seals again, casting the technique once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he activated his three-tomoe Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With its enhanced perception, his accuracy improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, one beam missed completely, and another veered off course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good enough,\" Seimei muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, formed the seals, and cast the technique again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No surprise—every single one of the five beams hit its target dead-on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even had a gut feeling that, with the Mangekyō, he could control even more beams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No time like the present. Seimei didn't hold back on chakra, forming the seals and casting the technique again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, it took a bit longer, but he fired six high-temperature beams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he'd predicted, all the beams hit their targets perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed further, trying seven beams. They were still manageable, though the precision dipped slightly. Eight beams, though? Total chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, this was a seriously impressive trick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Katon: Jūen Geki compressed a massive amount of fire chakra into a single beam. Think of it like Suiton: Suidanpa (Water Release: Water Severing Wave)—that kind of concentrated power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the speed? Insanely fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he played his cards right, Seimei could attack from a hundred meters away, weaving a net of six beams to take out a jōnin with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against chūnin or genin? He could wipe out a whole squad in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he couldn't reveal his Mangekyō Sharingan lightly, he tested the limits with his three-tomoe Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some experimenting, he figured out he could reliably manage three beams. Any more, and the accuracy tanked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the most practical approach was sticking to one beam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single beam, his attack was lightning-fast and sneaky. A flick of his finger could unleash a concentrated burst of chakra, forming a searing fire thread to hit the target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enemy would have almost no time to react. Anyone less skilled would get dropped instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd already proven this during a mission supporting Konoha's ANBU squad against Iwagakure's infiltration team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he'd taken out two enemies with this technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was when Katon: Jūen Geki was still Level 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, at Level 10, it'd only perform better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the rundown of the changes to Katon: Jūen Geki at perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, reaching perfection freed up an extra 750,000 points of chakra he could use daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add in the 936,000 points saved from perfecting Raiton: Raikiri, and that was a whopping 1,686,000 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Figuring out how to allocate that chakra was his next big focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Chapter End)\u003C\u002Fp>",1143,"2026-06-06T03:31:02.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","83a75e6ff1e6b4bf95bd856253b5ab89a1be2915ef07e12afd92afed661c2bb4","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-865","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-863",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
