He immediately closed his eyes and began carefully reviewing the memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly confirmed that the memory came from the shadow clone stationed in Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before he finished reviewing the memories, he had a good guess about what the message was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, aside from the growing tension between Namikaze Minato and Orochimaru, he couldn't think of anything else that would warrant such urgency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And by his calculations, it was just about time for Namikaze Minato to make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Seimei continued going through the clone's memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, just a short while ago, the clone back at home had detected unusual movement in the village—as if a battle had broken out somewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fight hadn't spread widely yet and hadn't affected many people, but with his Byakugan, the clone had spotted signs pointing to Namikaze Minato taking action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he'd immediately passed the message along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After processing the memory, Seimei opened his eyes. He thought for a moment and decided not to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly and efficiently, he gathered his gear and got fully dressed. Then he locked onto a Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) marker placed in a forest outside Konoha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single thought—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that same moment…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Konoha Village – Dense Forest\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A figure appeared soundlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Activating his Byakugan, he scanned the surroundings. After confirming that no one was nearby, he began moving toward Konoha's sensory barrier in a practiced manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he got closer, he noticed something strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, while this area did have Konoha shinobi patrols, they were relatively sparse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, however, the patrol density had more than tripled. On top of that, the number of watchtower sentries had increased from two to four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Konoha had significantly tightened its security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An average person would have trouble getting through unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei wasn't just anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using his Byakugan, he observed two patrol squads crossing paths ahead of him. Without hesitation, he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he triggered the ability of Ame no Yume (Heavenly Dream).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, he vanished from view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From there, Seimei moved like a ghost, boldly walking straight into Konoha. Even as patrol units passed nearby, none of them noticed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, he slipped through Konoha's sensory barrier and made his way back home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interestingly, he noticed that the ANBU watching his house hadn't been pulled back. In fact, their number had increased—from two to four—forming a full ANBU squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that Minato didn't want any surprises right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei wasn't sure if Minato had discovered something or was simply acting on sharp instinct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But either way—it didn't matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this stage, with Seimei's chakra reserves, it was nearly impossible for most detection techniques to distinguish between him and his shadow clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether his chakra was 300,000 points or 600,000—it would still appear as a massive presence that few could accurately interpret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, chakra levels could be disguised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like now, with a single thought, Seimei formed a hand seal and cast Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, creating a clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clone gave him a nod, then quickly formed more seals and activated Shinra Banshō Fūjin (All Creation Seal Suppression).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a dimensional space formed within its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the original, who had compressed this space into his brow, the clone's version extended throughout its entire body, even overlapping with his main chakra pathways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Seimei, who had mastered the technique to level 10 (0\u002F0), this kind of complex control was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the setup was complete, Seimei stepped forward and placed his hand on the clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, a torrent of chakra flowed from the dimensional space in his brow into the clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or more accurately—into the clone's own dimensional space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within minutes, over 1,000,000 chakra points had been transferred from Seimei's body to the clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one point, the clone spoke up: \"Alright, that's enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei stopped immediately and pulled back his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clone then tested releasing chakra through the newly formed network across his body, blending it seamlessly with his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together, the total chakra within the clone now matched that of the original.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chakra circulated and shifted constantly—just like it would in a real body. From the outside, there were no signs of anything unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if someone were observing with a Byakugan, unless they looked very closely, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if they did look too closely?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, the clone wasn't a corpse—if someone tried to pry into him that blatantly, he'd have every right to strike back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So there was no risk of exposure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that concern handled, Seimei wasted no more time. Activating Ame no Yume, he silently left the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing briefly at the two ANBU in the open and the two hiding in the shadows, he quietly moved away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the traces of the battle, he made his way to a forest on Konoha's eastern outskirts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, two groups were locked in fierce combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One group consisted of Konoha ANBU, patrol squads, and members of the Police Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes—the Uchiha Clan's Police Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were working together, forcing their way toward an underground tunnel entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opposing them was another group of Konoha shinobi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, based on their chakra and fighting style, it was clear they had undergone various degrees of body modification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei could tell—they were Orochimaru's subordinates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether they had agreed to the modifications or had been turned into test subjects was unclear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with their enhanced bodies and battle experience, they were barely holding off Konoha's forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang! Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds of weapons clashing and voices shouting echoed through the woods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perched atop a tall tree, Seimei observed for a while. He could tell that Konoha's side wouldn't be breaking through anytime soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he activated his Byakugan and looked toward the underground tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision pierced through the earth and barriers—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what he saw was a massive underground laboratory, full of grotesque experimental subjects—and…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orochimaru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, Orochimaru himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1138,"2026-06-06T03:31:02.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","69d721f6946e9e7384b6cf65f1ccba0d0be4e6cf56c1938a0adea216fab0a225","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-877","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-875",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
