That was a Bloodline Elimination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was deciding which one to pursue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theoretically, he could experiment with any three chakra natures, but just like when he developed Lava Release and other Bloodline Limits, having a reference would save him a ton of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the current ninja world, the only known wielder of a Bloodline Elimination was the Third Tsuchikage of the Hidden Stone Village, Onoki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Dust Release wasn't just incredibly powerful—it could also address Seimei's lack of single-target damage techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, Dust Release required fusing Fire Release, Wind Release, and Earth Release—three natures Seimei was already highly skilled in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, without much hesitation, Seimei set his sights on Dust Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It just so happened that it had been over a month since he last recalled his shadow clones stationed in the Hidden Stone, Hidden Cloud, and Hidden Mist Villages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While his Wood Clones could last longer than regular shadow clones, that didn't stop him from swapping them out early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a quick mental calculation, he realized this round of intense training was only on its seventh day. He decided to wait until it was over before taking action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meantime, he could use the shadow clones he'd freed up to do some preliminary research on Dust Release and gauge its development difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Decision made, Seimei didn't waste another second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed his status panel, raised his hands, and formed seals to cast the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Poof! Poof! Poof!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With bursts of chakra smoke, three hundred shadow clones appeared around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As usual, he divided them into groups and sent them off to begin their tasks. Then, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, teleporting back to the first chamber inside the volcano.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the familiar stone platform, Seimei's body was enveloped in a thin layer of \"Thunder Armor.\" After adjusting to the environment, he resumed his physical enhancement training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just a few minutes in, a memory suddenly flooded his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His training interrupted, Seimei frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused his actions to examine the memory that had just surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was short—almost fleeting—because it came from one of the shadow clones he'd just sent out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the memory, the clone had brainstormed for a moment before eagerly attempting to fuse Fire Release, Earth Release, and Wind Release. But before the three chakra types could fully combine, an explosion erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clone didn't have time to dodge and was instantly destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the memory synced back to Seimei's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it wasn't an isolated incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he was processing that memory, two more shadow clones failed their Dust Release fusion attempts, getting blasted to pieces. Their memories, along with some chakra, returned to Seimei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His frown deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This won't do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the sporadic memories popping into his head, Seimei muttered to himself and temporarily abandoned his physical training. He teleported back to the clearing at the center of the island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the shadow clones training in the distance, he dispelled the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, every clone on and around the island vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took Seimei a minute or two to absorb all their brief memories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he stood in place, lost in thought for a moment, before casting the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another three hundred shadow clones appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As before, he divided them into groups and sent them off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, though, Seimei didn't rush back to the volcano. Instead, he stood watching the clones, waiting for them to start their training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first few minutes, no more explosions occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, when explosions did happen, the shadow clones were quick to react. The moment things went wrong, they used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away from the blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, no more clones were destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And no more memories abruptly flooded Seimei's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied, Seimei nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After recalling the earlier clones, he'd set a rule for the ones tasked with developing Dust Release: focus more on theoretical research and less on practical experiments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This drastically reduced the chances of accidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if something went wrong, he allowed the clones to use Flying Thunder God to escape harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, that would burn extra chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, Seimei might've been cautious about that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with over four million chakra points stored daily, he wasn't too worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, escaping damage didn't require teleporting far, so the chakra cost was minimal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A price he could easily afford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for banning all practical experiments outright?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, he could enforce that, but it would defeat the purpose of using shadow clones to assist his training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He created so many clones to tackle Dust Release from different angles. If he restricted them too much, it'd be no different from researching it alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei wasn't about to make that mistake. He'd rather spend a bit more chakra to ensure efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his thoughts settled and confident he wouldn't be interrupted again, Seimei extended his senses, locked onto the Flying Thunder God mark inside the volcano, and activated the technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he reappeared, he was back on the stone platform inside the volcano.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief moment to readjust, he dove right back into his physical enhancement training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed steadily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, his training was back on track.\u003C\u002Fp>",1034,"2026-06-06T03:31:03.429Z",1,"novelbin.me","b1a57d53e7af39b265bf3bcb498d6fee9fd030fc95fe02c5b94a478b36858f3c","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-992","grind-is-my-ninja-way-chapter-990",1097,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgrind-is-my-ninja-way-cover.jpg"]
