With a thought, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision shifted instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a split second, he went from the dim, oppressive ocean floor to the bright, open island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dispelling the Lightning Release Chakra Mode and shedding the lightning chakra membrane around him, Seimei let out a long breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lungs kicked back into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This felt much more comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he no longer needed to breathe through his mouth or nose—his evolved skin-based respiratory system could sustain him for a long time—habits from two lifetimes weren't so easily broken. He still preferred breathing like a normal person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief moment to adjust, Seimei didn't waste time. He summoned a burst of Fire Release chakra to dry the water from his body, then dispelled the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, all the shadow clones, both on and off the island, vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flood of memories surged into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei closed his eyes, carefully sifting through them, absorbing and digesting the various training experiences they contained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About fifteen minutes later, he opened his eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing still, he reflected briefly before practicing Pinnacle of the Body based on the memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three times, five times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, he'd gone through over twenty repetitions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after thirty, he stopped completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, all the experience related to Pinnacle of the Body in his mind had been converted into skill proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening his panel, Seimei glanced at it and saw that the proficiency gained was nearly double what he'd normally achieve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This showed just how effective adding thirty more shadow clones to his training was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Seimei had a faint sense that 280 shadow clones weren't his limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While boosting his \"Constitution\" attribute didn't directly increase his mental capacity, the mind and body weren't entirely separate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This boost had slightly increased his mental endurance as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei estimated he could now handle 300 shadow clones training at high intensity without issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner thought than done. After swallowing a few enhanced soldier pills to replenish his energy, Seimei cast the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, summoning 300 shadow clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He assigned 200 to fuse Water and Lightning Release, while the remaining 100 focused on practicing Pinnacle of the Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that his proficiency would accumulate even faster now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the exact results would have to wait until an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meantime, Seimei wasn't about to sit idle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like before, he dove back to the ocean floor to resume his physical enhancement training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, as expected, the growth rate of Pinnacle of the Body had accelerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei considered summoning even more shadow clones to speed things up further, but since his mind and body had only just regained a bit of balance, he decided not to push it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, from then on, he stuck to 300 shadow clones per training session.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun set and rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That morning, with over an hour to go before noon, Pinnacle of the Body reached the perfected state of Lv7 (0\u002F0).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the limit of its current framework.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To improve further, he'd need to break that framework and optimize Pinnacle of the Body even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei already had an idea for this: as mentioned before, he'd integrate the process of physical enhancement into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would not only raise the skill's ceiling but also streamline his training, saving time and boosting efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That, however, was for later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, he wanted to test how much the perfected Lv7 (0\u002F0) Pinnacle of the Body would boost his Byakugan's evolution when used alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, when he practiced this technique with his main body, it could promote the Byakugan's evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But back then, his goal was only to digest training experiences, so he didn't practice it much, resulting in limited effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he'd focus entirely on performing the technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The results were bound to be different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that thought, Seimei concentrated and began executing Pinnacle of the Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he did, he noticed the difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Lv7 (0\u002F0), performing the technique made his chakra flow through his body, constantly stimulating his cells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faintly, he felt something in his body awaken, steadily pushing his Byakugan toward evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this process required chakra infusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like with the Mind Reflection Technique, much of his chakra flowed through his meridians to the Byakugan at his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, compared to directly nurturing the Byakugan, the chakra consumption was much lower—even when factoring in the cost of practicing Pinnacle of the Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei let out a small sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, while he had a lot of daily usable chakra, he couldn't afford to squander it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, switching to Pinnacle of the Body actually increased his available chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time slipped by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he knew it, Seimei had been practicing for two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, he could feel his body reaching its limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not his Byakugan—his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, using Pinnacle of the Body to boost the Byakugan's evolution meant stimulating his bloodline or genes to guide the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a person's body has its limits; it can't be stimulated endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doing so would only lead to one outcome: physical collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei wasn't about to make that mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the bottleneck for his Byakugan's evolution was no longer the eye itself but his body's endurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the short term, this might slow his Byakugan's evolution, but in the long run, it raised the ceiling significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, his body's endurance would grow with his \"Constitution\" attribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for now, his Byakugan's evolution speed hadn't even slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Panel!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought, Seimei opened his proficiency panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the bloodline section, the Byakugan's evolution progress had increased by twenty points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, even at just Lv7, Pinnacle of the Body had surpassed the crude nurturing method he'd used before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei was more than satisfied with the result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1037,"2026-06-06T03:31:03.429Z",1,"novelbin.me","e109cd2542a86fb277df297c44959c89c99f9ed20535132e059bbcca95bdf35a","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-982","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-980",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
