Seimei wasted no time and activated Human Defense, channeling its power into himself to guide the upcoming transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he used Palm Sage Technique to create a dense mass of Yang Release chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He infused it into his body, guiding it with his mental focus along his chakra network, letting it spread throughout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seeped into every cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Human Defense acted like a steering wheel, while the Yang Release chakra served as the engine's fuel, driving his body toward evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by, second by second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to his Sharingan having evolved into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he no longer risked blindness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when using Human Defense now, he didn't need to pause setiap few seconds or minutes to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All he had to focus on was keeping the Yang Release chakra flowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And chakra? That was something he had in abundance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The breakthrough process went smoothly, with remarkable efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, with a physique stat of 26, even with his high efficiency, it took nearly an hour to complete the breakthrough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sound like something shattering rang in Seimei's ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, the invisible barrier holding back his body's growth broke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warm current surged within him, splitting into countless streams that flowed along his chakra network, spreading through his entire body. It felt so good he closed his eyes in comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faintly, he could sense every cell in his body cheering, transforming bit by bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei knew he'd succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to fully complete the transformation, he needed a bit more time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, he deactivated Human Defense, letting his mind relax completely, allowing the warm currents to flow freely and facilitate the transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed steadily, and Seimei felt as if he were standing in a higher dimension, observing his body's changes with calm detachment, waiting for the transformation to finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About half an hour later, the warm currents faded, and the transformation was complete. Seimei came back to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, his body felt as if it had shed a heavy suit of armor, becoming much lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The oppressive weight on his mind, caused by his spirit overpowering his physique, had also lessened significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei knew this was because his body and mind had regained some balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Panel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, he opened his proficiency panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar translucent light blue screen appeared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Name: Uchiha Seimei\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Age: 14\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spirit: 29\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bloodline:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Sharingan · Eternal Mangekyo (13,192\u002F100,000) → (15,192\u002F100,000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Wood Release (2,100\u002F5,000) → (3,500\u002F5,000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Lava Release (415\u002F1,000) → (920\u002F1,000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skills:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Chakra Refinement Technique: Lv7 (780\u002F20,000) → Lv7 (1,308\u002F20,000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Wood Clone Technique: Lv5 (4,500\u002F5,000) → Lv7 (1,500\u002F20,000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Body Extreme: Lv1 (1\u002F200) → Lv6 (6,300\u002F10,000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Chakra Control: Lv8 (4,920\u002F50,000) → Lv8 (5,100\u002F50,000)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect Skills: [None listed]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, with his body's transformation, his Physique stat had increased by one point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This reduced the gap between his Physique and Spirit stats from three points to two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That one-point reduction restored a bit more balance between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this balance, he wouldn't have to worry about physical imbalance for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as a result, his mental state, which had been deteriorating due to the imbalance, would gradually recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would slightly boost his training efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn't mean he was in the clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For one thing, even with his Physique stat now at 27, it was still two points behind his Spirit stat of 29.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his Spirit stat increased even slightly, the consequences would be worse than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the higher the base stats, the larger the gap each point represented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference between 26 and 29 was significant, but the gap between 27 and 30, though still three points, was far greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he couldn't afford to slack off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to keep pushing to close the gap between his Physique and Spirit stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then could he maintain better balance and unlock more potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of potential, Seimei closed his eyes to test the changes brought by this Physique stat increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, his theoretical chakra ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Focusing his mind, he fully activated the Chakra Refinement Technique to tap into his potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This took half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he opened his eyes again, Seimei compared the before and after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He concluded that this Physique increase had boosted his theoretical chakra ceiling by about 900,000 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might seem small compared to the 1.6 million-point increase from his last Spirit stat boost (from 28 to 29).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that Spirit boost was far more significant than this Physique increase from 26 to 27.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the 700,000-point increase from his previous Physique boost (25 to 26), this was a notable improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That previous boost had perfectly balanced his 26 Physique with his 26 Spirit, naturally unlocking more potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time's larger increase spoke for itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei was very satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this 900,000-point boost, his theoretical chakra ceiling officially broke past 10 million, reaching 10.5 million points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could fully tap into that potential…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tch, tch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei didn't even dare to imagine it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His current chakra ceiling was just over 1.2 million points—barely a ninth of his theoretical maximum. It was hard to fathom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, pinning down the Nine-Tails single-handedly shouldn't be an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could probably already do that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking it a step further, he might not even need ninjutsu—just raw chakra output could easily overpower the Nine-Tails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slurp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei wiped the drool from his mouth, reining in his wandering thoughts, and moved on to test his chakra recovery rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Spirit and Physique stat increases most significantly affected the theoretical chakra ceiling and recovery rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the ceiling tested, it was time for recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, he paused the Chakra Refinement Technique, staring intently at the proficiency panel to track chakra changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about ten minutes, he stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His panel showed a chakra increase of 46,528 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes equaled 46,528 points. An hour would be 279,168 points. Over 24 hours, that's 6,700,000 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, with his body's natural recovery, assuming full energy, he could restore 6.7 million chakra points daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before today, that number was 5.7 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Physique boost had increased his chakra recovery rate by 1 million points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No doubt, this was a massive leap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For comparison, his last Physique boost (25 to 26), with the added balance of matching Spirit stats, had only increased recovery by 800,000 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time's 1-million-point jump was staggering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple: as his Physique stat neared his Spirit stat, the potential suppressed by their previous imbalance was gradually unleashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This led to a far greater boost than expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this was only a partial release. If his Physique and Spirit stats fully balanced, the gains would be even greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This transformation didn't just boost his theoretical chakra ceiling and recovery rate—it also advanced his various Kekkei Genkai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Sharingan's evolution progress increased by 500 points. While less than the 700 from his last transformation or the 1,000 from the one before, it was still solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those 500 points not only made up for the progress lost from cutting back on Reflection Heart Technique to practice Wood Clone Technique but even pushed him ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, his Byakugan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its evolution progress, though less than the 800 points from his last transformation, still jumped by 600 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Byakugan progress had nearly stalled due to pausing its nurturing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with this 600-point boost, it shot to nearly a tenth of the way, reaching (872\u002F10,000).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei was thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Body Extreme proficiency was now at Lv6 (6,300\u002F10,000). Based on its framework, the max level was Lv7.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just over a day, it could reach perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he could optimize the technique while using it to further evolve his Byakugan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those 600 points saved him a ton of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it was just his Sharingan and Byakugan progressing, Seimei wouldn't be that excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had reliable methods to advance both, and they wouldn't trigger another physical transformation to balance his body and mind anytime soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real kicker was that his Wood Release, Lava Release, and Ice Release had also evolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Release saw the biggest jump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its evolution progress surged by 450 points. Combined with the natural progress over the past twenty-plus days, it crossed the halfway mark, reaching (670\u002F1,000).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lava Release was next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It gained 400 points, and with prior progress and the past twenty-plus days' natural growth, it hit (920\u002F1,000)—just a step away from advancing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Wood Release had the smallest gain at 300 points, but it still reached (3,500\u002F5,000).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overall, none of them were far from advancing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And once these three Kekkei Genkai leveled up, even if they didn't trigger another transformation outright, they'd significantly shorten the time needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would let his Physique stat climb faster, bringing his body and mind back into balance sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>",1813,"2026-06-06T03:31:03.429Z",1,"novelbin.me","205d204796f1a28ee1f46bd70c635ec5b900428eaaa05678d75e8da279965987","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-980","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-978",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
