He focused on nurturing his Byakugan and then crashed into bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sleep lasted until evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, Seimei hadn't eaten in nearly a day and a night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It'd be strange if he wasn't starving!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the Hidden Leaf's food street welcomed a big eater once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Seimei deliberately took his time. Midway through his feast, he found a spot to rest, letting his stomach digest before diving back in for more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until late at night, when the shops closed, that he finally returned home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This indulgence not only filled his stomach but also satisfied the intense craving that had built up from scarfing down soldier pills for days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei lounged on a chair, patting his full belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, he tapped into the faint connection to sense the number of spies whose marks he'd updated or newly placed the previous night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The numbers matched perfectly, confirming that his actions hadn't been exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially in the Hidden Cloud Village, where all the spies' positions were shifting, indicating none of them had been restricted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chance of exposure was minimal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, his check was just for peace of mind. The real monitoring was handled by the Shadow Clones he'd left in the three villages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like him, those clones could sense the \"Heart-Sealing Soul-Locking Contract Teleportation Marks\" on the spies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, because they were closer, their sensing was even sharper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the primary nodes for monitoring, while Seimei merely compiled the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since none of the clones had sent him any warnings, it was clear everything was under control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pulling back his thoughts, Seimei stopped checking on the spies and glanced at the Shadow Clone nearby, who was engrossed in a book. With a thought, he dispelled the \"Shadow Clone Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the clone he'd left to watch the house vanished with a pop, and the book it was holding fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei pointed his right index finger, shooting out a thin chakra thread that precisely latched onto the book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of his finger, he pulled the book back into his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning, he set the book aside, closed his eyes, and began sifting through the memories of the Shadow Clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took some time, but he reviewed all ten days of the clone's memories, getting a sense of the major and minor events in the village over that period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overall, nothing particularly noteworthy had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had to pick something, it was probably that \"Jiraiya left the village, saying he was going to gather inspiration.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That caught Seimei's attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He figured Jiraiya still hadn't given up on Orochimaru and was likely using the excuse of \"gathering inspiration\" to search for his old teammate's whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei could only think that the Sannin had some serious clout. They could leave the village for extended periods with flimsy excuses like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an ordinary ninja tried to pull that off with such a ridiculous reason, they'd be laughed out of the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Seimei, now free from surveillance, had to take on missions periodically, despite having more than enough money and no real need to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The village wouldn't outright force him, but the subtle pressures from all sides left him little choice but to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Seimei only took the missions because dealing with the hassle was more trouble than it was worth, and the tasks posed no real danger to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, no amount of external pressure would make him budge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pushing those thoughts aside, Seimei looked up at the sky, gazing at the boundless stars. His mind gradually slipped into a state of empty tranquility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by, second by second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After an unknown stretch, Seimei snapped out of his reverie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt noticeably lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Giving the starry sky one last glance, he muttered, \"As expected, compared to the narrow scope of the ninja world, the vastness of the stars is far more captivating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he stood, left the courtyard, and headed straight to his training room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the familiar process of nurturing his Byakugan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two and a half hours later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei finished and opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, he opened his proficiency panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the twelve new proficiency points added to the Byakugan under the bloodline section, he nodded calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed the panel, left the training room, washed his face, and headed to his bedroom to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night passed quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fully rested, Seimei opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He organized his gear, washed up, and stepped out of the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He made a beeline for the \"food street,\" where he enjoyed a hearty breakfast before heading to the training grounds on the village's outskirts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the training grounds, he carefully sensed his surroundings to confirm no one was around. Then, he used the \"Shadow Clone Technique\" to create a clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instructed the clone to act as if he were training there, while he himself left for the village's outer perimeter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, he carefully avoided all patrolling Leaf ninjas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reached the sensory barrier, he activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the power of \"Heavenly Veil,\" Seimei passed through the Hidden Leaf's sensory barrier without a sound, slipping out of the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked a bit farther, ensuring no one was nearby, then locked onto an island in the southern seas of the Land of Fire. With a thought, he activated the \"Flying Thunder God Technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision shifted abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One moment, he was in a lush forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next, he stood on an isolated island in the middle of the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold, salty sea breeze brushed against Seimei's face, making him shiver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasting no time, he raised his hands, formed seals, and used \"Wind Release: Wings of Wind\" to take to the sky. As usual, he activated his Byakugan for a thorough scan of the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he'd never found anything unusual during these checks, that didn't mean they were unnecessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, not a single scan could be skipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Danger often struck unexpectedly, and a moment of laziness could let an enemy slip through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This island was his training ground, and many things here couldn't be seen by outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone got close, it'd be a big problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he couldn't afford to be careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1141,"2026-06-06T03:31:02.936Z",1,"novelbin.me","0d64d61edd2a03ad6efe0c0541e96615daffa20a63b2edd471a8268ae76d71da","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-926","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-924",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
