wasting a second, he glanced at his clone still training nearby and immediately dispelled the [Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, all 150 clones on and around the island vanished without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, an overwhelming flood of memories surged into Seimei's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly shut his eyes, sifting through the incoming data, absorbing the training experience and converting it into skill proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen minutes passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei reopened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood silently for a moment, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, suddenly, he raised both hands and performed the hand signs for [Yingxin no Jutsu], channeling and stimulating the chakra within his body to converge in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan activated on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar stinging sensation hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei endured the discomfort, focusing intently on the changes in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five minutes later, he released the technique, a flicker of disappointment flashing in his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't working as well as he'd hoped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, the [Yingxin no Jutsu] was more effective now than it had been this morning, but it still fell short of expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the current rate of stimulation, even if he poured in a million chakra points a day, he'd only get one or two points of evolution per day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant it would take about 100,000 points to reach the level of the Rinnegan — roughly 6,000 to 7,000 days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words: over sixteen years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he added the one or two passive evolution points per day from [Hito no Go], it would only cut the time in half — still over eight years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, that was way faster than Madara's route through endless hardship, but to Seimei, it was still unacceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since arriving in this world, no skill or ability had ever required that much time to upgrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the technique needed more improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought settled, he moved on to his next task: experimenting with Mokuton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, just like that morning, he was still a step away from success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he could feel that whenever he fused Suiton and Doton, the genes in his body — inherited through the assimilation of Hashirama's cells — grew more and more active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant he was getting close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he was confident he'd master Mokuton, one of the most iconic Kekkei Genkai, and open the door to developing Kekkei Mōra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei murmured to himself, then refocused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few flickers later, he appeared on top of a massive boulder at the center of the island, sat down cross-legged, and began the last part of his daily training — nurturing his Byakugan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already familiar with this routine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly, he entered the proper mental state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two and a half hours passed in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he sensed the familiar swelling pain from his eyes, he stopped the chakra infusion and opened them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Status panel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, the proficiency interface appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Byakugan had gained twelve evolution points, Seimei gave a satisfied nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After closing the panel, he let out a long breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he extended his senses toward the Flying Thunder God mark on his clone stationed near the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mark hadn't been triggered and remained intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant Jiraiya and Orochimaru still hadn't made a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, he might've been a little anxious about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a full day of training, his mind had settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clone was watching things for him — nothing was being delayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether or not they fought, or when they fought, had nothing to do with his core goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he needed to do was train at his own pace and show up when the battle began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he withdrew his senses, stood up, and leapt down from the boulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few flickers later, he arrived outside the wooden cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei walked to the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he flopped down and instantly fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, soft snoring filled the room. Seimei had entered dreamland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just when he thought this night would be as peaceful as the last and that he'd sleep soundly until dawn, around 3 to 4 AM — when the body is most exhausted — the clone near the town activated the Flying Thunder God mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei jolted awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat up abruptly, focusing on the distant location of the FTG mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance was great, and the signal faint, but he could still tell: it was moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant his clone was also on the move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at this point, the only thing that could prompt such action... was Jiraiya and Orochimaru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei rubbed his face, took several deep breaths to calm himself, then started gathering his gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everything was packed, he wasted no time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He locked onto the clone's FTG mark, and with a thought, activated the [Flying Thunder God Jutsu].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, he vanished from the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the small town, in the mountain forest—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadow sprinting through the trees suddenly came to a halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, another figure identical to him appeared out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than Seimei, freshly teleported in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at his clone, he got straight to the point: \"What's going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You'll see for yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clone didn't waste words. He immediately dispelled himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, all the clone's memories flowed into Seimei's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He skipped the mundane parts from the past day and focused solely on what happened tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to his high [Spirit] stat of 26, he swiftly processed all the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They finally showed up, huh…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering to himself, Seimei flickered to the treetop of a nearby tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked toward the northern plains beyond the town at the mountain's base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, two blurry figures were moving quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were none other than Jiraiya and Orochimaru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the clone's memory, they had just fled from the town. One chasing, one fleeing, getting further by the second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right — they had been hiding in the town for the past three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only tonight did they finally reveal themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching them grow smaller in the distance, Seimei leapt down from the tree and took off in pursuit, just like his clone had done earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why he didn't use [Wind Release: Wings of Wind] to fly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simple — it'd be too obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't want them to notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he wouldn't even activate his Byakugan during the chase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against shinobi of this caliber, using the Byakugan to observe them was basically announcing: \"Hey, someone's watching you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if they knew they were being watched, how could they go all out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, from here on out, he would stick to the most basic, inconspicuous methods of pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>",1157,"2026-06-06T03:31:02.436Z",1,"novelbin.me","8425cf467a68aefca88e3248e67cc2524dd3da11c1da4812f13e7cf250dadd7a","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-894","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-892",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
