Standing on the massive rock at the island's center, he raised his hands, formed seals, and cast Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poof! Poof! Poof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With bursts of chakra smoke, one hundred fifty shadow clones appeared around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at them, Seimei quickly divided them into groups, a routine he was well accustomed to, and sent them off to their tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they were gone, he didn't waste a second. He activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode and locked onto a Flying Thunder God seal near an underwater trench. With a quick cast of Flying Thunder God Jutsu, his figure vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, near the trench, a figure appeared out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was none other than Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden pressure of over forty times normal atmospheric levels hit him hard, even with his Lightning Release Chakra shielding him. A wave of pain surged through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By immediately increasing the output of his Lightning Release Chakra, he dispersed some of the pressure and quickly adjusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the minor internal injuries he sustained? Honestly, they didn't bother him much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had he fully integrated Hashirama's cells, giving him enhanced self-healing, but his 25-point Constitution stat meant his recovery was fast enough to shrug off such damage. It would heal in minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, injuries were the least of his concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After standing there for a moment to acclimate, Seimei didn't linger. He stepped forward, heading toward the trench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he reached its edge. Descending along the cliff wall, he passed several training platforms he'd carved out previously, stopping at a depth of about forty meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was roughly the halfway point of the trench—and the current limit of what his body could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pausing his descent, Seimei found a suitable spot and cast Water Release: Water Severing Wave to carve out a small platform on the cliff wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cleared away the debris, attached chakra to his feet to stand firmly on the platform, and took a brief moment to settle. Then, following the principles of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he began tempering his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this, he didn't forget to activate Palm Sage Jutsu and Nin no Gyo, combining their effects to strengthen his body from the inside out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he'd perfected the Heart-Sealing Soul Contract: Instant Teleportation Seal, he'd estimated it would take about a week to push his body to the critical point of transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five days had already passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday was a rest day, so it didn't count. But even so, he'd been training for four days straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, in just two or three more days, his body would reach that critical point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, he could clearly feel an invisible barrier holding him back—a sensation he knew well. It always appeared right before his body underwent a transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as his body drew closer to that critical point, the feeling grew stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this stage, the resistance to strengthening his body was at its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Seimei wasn't fazed. He simply followed his routine, training methodically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days passed in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was now the afternoon of the third day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still at the trench, Seimei was training on one of the platforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body crackled with lightning, tiny bolts piercing his skin, weaving in and out. Combined with the constant flow of Yang Release chakra within, it tempered his physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, despite his efforts, Seimei felt no progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, that wasn't entirely true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike previous attempts, Nin no Gyo was active during his training now, guiding his efforts. This allowed for some progress, however small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to the bottleneck he faced, these gains were negligible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, if he kept grinding slowly, he'd eventually break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that could take who-knows-how-long, and he wasn't willing to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nor did he need to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Nin no Gyo in play, he could do what he'd done for past breakthroughs: focus all his energy, fully unleash Palm Sage Jutsu, and shatter that invisible barrier in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Seimei stopped training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without lingering, he leaped upward, quickly exiting the trench.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then moved to the nearby Flying Thunder God seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirming he was within a pressure range his body could handle, he didn't hesitate. Locking onto the seal on the island, he cast Flying Thunder God Jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision shifted instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei reappeared on the giant rock at the island's center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He conjured a burst of Fire Release chakra, instantly drying his soaked clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he dispelled Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, recalling all the shadow clones training on and around the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was going all-in, he couldn't afford distractions. Retrieving the clones was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing his eyes, Seimei carefully reviewed their memories, converting the past few minutes of their training experience into skill proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, he opened his eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inhale… exhale…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, he sat cross-legged, calming himself until he reached peak condition. Then, he began casting Palm Sage Jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before channeling Yang Release chakra, he activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and triggered Nin no Gyo, paving the way for his breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dense surge of Yang Release chakra formed, flowing into his body. Guided by Nin no Gyo, it stimulated his cells, pushing them toward the mutation he envisioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei cast Palm Sage Jutsu repeatedly, channeling Yang Release chakra to replenish what was consumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after more than two hours, as evening approached, he heard what sounded like something shattering in his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of relief washed over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing his body again, the shackles that had restrained his physical growth were gone, replaced by a vast, open horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could even open his eyes, a warm current surged from deep within his cells, flooding his entire body. It felt like soaking in a hot spring—indescribably comforting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Seimei relaxed completely, immersing himself in the sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the outside world faded away, leaving only a blissful feeling, like returning to the womb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1038,"2026-06-06T03:31:02.936Z",1,"novelbin.me","84bd2d525692f072bad709d91df19c7d35e9bee9cc0fa29939db171e40b997ce","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-927","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-925",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
