Seimei couldn't help but marvel inwardly, \"This barrier's reaction speed is insane!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Obito had been there and gone in less than two minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, in that short time, the village's barrier had not only detected him but also pinpointed his location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This showed just how powerful the barrier was!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, Minato's ability to arrive so quickly suggested he had likely integrated his Flying Thunder God seal into the barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, once an issue was detected, he could instantly teleport to the nearest node and rush to the target location at top speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This realization only strengthened Seimei's resolve to keep a low profile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, he couldn't use Flying Thunder God within the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Ama no Miu? Well, judging by Minato's current state, neither he nor the barrier could detect the dimensional space created by this dojutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Seimei could use that technique without worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought flashing through his mind, Seimei quickly averted his gaze from Minato to avoid arousing suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting Minato investigate the area, Seimei quietly left the scene and returned home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just past noon, still early. With nothing else to do and no desire to train, Seimei simply flopped onto his bed and went to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For him now, forcing himself into a restful state was a piece of cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also a chance to recharge and prepare for the next round of intense training starting tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he didn't skip dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also squeezed in two hours of Extreme Body practice, boosting his Byakugan's evolution by about 20 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, he should be slowing down any training that could increase his Mental attribute, just like he'd reduced the casting time of Reflection Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he didn't stop practicing Extreme Body or nurturing his Byakugan's evolution, sticking to the same routine he'd followed before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple: his Byakugan was still far from its next evolution stage, so there was no immediate risk of it boosting his Mental attribute and throwing his mind-body balance out of whack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why he kept up his daily habit of advancing his Byakugan's evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two hours of Extreme Body practice, he returned to his bedroom and rested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night passed quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, at the crack of dawn, Seimei got out of bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cast Shadow Clone Technique, creating a single shadow clone to stay in the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd considered leaving a Wood Clone instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, compared to a shadow clone, a wood clone had far more advantages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, his Wood Clone Technique had reached Level 7, making the wood clones he created even more refined than they were 20 days ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the village, where combat wasn't needed, a wood clone's destruction would leave obvious traces of Wood Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since his training cycles only lasted ten days, there was no need to risk exposing his Wood Release by leaving such a clone behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadow clone, on the other hand, would dissipate instantly upon being destroyed, leaving no trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, all things considered, a shadow clone was the better choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these thoughts in mind, Seimei focused, looking at the shadow clone before him. With practiced ease, he cast All-Encompassing Seal on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After channeling chakra and infusing the clone with a million points of chakra as a reserve, Seimei left the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he moved through the village, he avoided others when possible. If he couldn't, he simply activated Ama no Miu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time, he left Konoha Village behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After traveling a bit farther, out of range of the watchtowers along the village walls, he stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in the forest, Seimei activated his Byakugan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confirming no one was around, he cast Wind Release: Wings of Wind and Chakra Cloak, soaring into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he used Earth Release: Ultra-Lightweight Rock Technique to reduce his weight, flying toward Moon Island at a blazing speed of 1.5 kilometers per second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The journey was uneventful, and he arrived at Moon Island without issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, he didn't waste a moment. He swallowed a few enhanced soldier pills his shadow clone had gathered over the past few days, filled his stomach, and began training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The training process was the same as before: he cast Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, creating 300 shadow clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of them, 250 continued developing Storm Release, while the remaining 50 worked on overcoming the theoretical hurdles of integrating physical enhancement into Extreme Body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Seimei himself began his training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was divided into four parts. About two hours—two training cycles—were spent casting Reflection Technique to stimulate his Sharingan's evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four hours went to practicing Wood Clone Technique, both to improve its proficiency and to advance his Wood Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining time, aside from two evening hours dedicated to Extreme Body to boost his Byakugan's evolution, was all spent on physical enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, he dove deeper and deeper into the ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Days passed like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, a week had gone by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That afternoon, as Seimei dove into the water for training, he noticed the water pressure no longer had a significant effect on his progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he dove deeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, after descending just a few meters, he couldn't go any farther.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't a matter of endurance—the ocean floor itself was right there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping onto the hardened ground formed by solidified lava, Seimei activated his Byakugan, scanning the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Byakugan's special vision, he confirmed there were no deeper areas nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, he'd reached the 1,200-meter-deep ocean floor he'd observed initially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his plan, to keep seeking harsher environments, he'd need to venture inside the volcano next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Seimei turned to look at the dormant volcano behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he'd mentally prepared for this, actually doing it made him a bit nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, his life-preserving skills were solid, and with the Byakugan's X-ray vision, he wasn't likely to face serious trouble right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reassuring himself, Seimei increased the output of his Lightning Release chakra, thickening the Lightning Aura around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he cast Chakra Cloak for close-range protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still not fully at ease, he activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, keeping Ama no Miu on the verge of activation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he feel truly secure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, it was time to find an entry point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this in mind, Seimei began circling the volcano, using his Byakugan's X-ray vision to carefully search for a suitable spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This choice wasn't just about the short term—it also had to account for future progression, so it took a bit longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over an hour later, after resurfacing once to catch his breath, he finally found a suitable entry point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1145,"2026-06-06T03:31:03.429Z",1,"novelbin.me","d454809374f20a9b5fed3500182e88ca0ff6b5da12acad0a77c69f2ba6702d33","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-987","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-985",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
