Grind is My Ninja Way

As the eyes that reflect the heart, the special abilities gained after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan are closely related to the host's experiences and inner desires.

Long ago, Seimei had been speculating about what kind of dojutsu he would obtain after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Now, he could finally find out.

With this thought, Seimei calmed down and carefully sensed the power residing within his Sharingan.

However, before he could sense the dojutsu, he first discovered another kind of power.

With a thought, Seimei followed his intuition and drew out this power.

Instantly, a sharp pain surged through him.

At this moment, the cells throughout his body seemed to be convulsing, causing his facial expression to become somewhat distorted and out of control.

"Ugh~"

Seimei couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Immediately afterward, a giant silver-white arm and ribcage appeared, shielding him within.

This power was none other than the ultimate power residing within the Mangekyo Sharingan - Susanoo.

Susanoo was a powerful Yin Release technique obtained when the Sharingan evolved to the Mangekyo level, and the user's mental power underwent a qualitative change.

It was generally divided into four stages...

* **First Stage:** It takes the form of a skeleton, and chakra completely covers the user's body, providing decent defense. However, overly fierce attacks can still break through its defense.

At this stage, Susanoo can wield simple weapons, such as ordinary swords, and its attack methods are basic physical attacks.

* **Second Stage:** On the basis of the skeleton, it is covered with meridians and flesh, and the exterior is wrapped in a layer of chakra in the shape of a cloak.

At this stage, Susanoo achieves the best balance and can use its general long-range attack method - Yasaka Magatama.

* **Third Stage:** On the basis of the original Susanoo, it adds a Tengu armor, greatly increasing its defense.

At this stage, its chakra consumption also increases significantly, and it becomes very unstable. Ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan users have difficulty maintaining it for a long time.

* **Fourth Stage:** The lower body and legs are added to the original second stage, and its size increases significantly. The user is located within Susanoo's head.

At this stage, Susanoo has no defensive weaknesses, and its mobility is greatly enhanced.

These are the four growth stages of Susanoo, which continuously improve as the user's ocular power increases.

As for what Seimei had summoned now, it was an initial form independent of these four stages, where only an arm and ribcage could be manifested.

In this form, his body couldn't be completely enveloped, leaving large gaps, making it easy for others to exploit weaknesses.

Therefore, its practicality was limited.

Apart from this initial form, Susanoo had another form, the complete body, also known as the true Susanoo.

At this stage, Susanoo was extremely large, and its chakra was very stable. Its power could not only easily cleave mountains and meteorites but also possessed the ability to fly.

At the same time, it could also form hand seals, allowing it to use the techniques the user was proficient in and greatly enhancing their power.

It could be said to be perfect.

But to activate this form, one needed to exert the Mangekyo Sharingan's ocular power to its limits and possess a vast amount of chakra.

Seimei couldn't even think about these for now, as he definitely didn't meet the conditions.

Even the current 'initial form' couldn't be maintained for a long time.

There were two reasons for this. Firstly, the pressure Susanoo exerted on the body was too strong. With his current physique, he simply couldn't sustain it for a long time.

Secondly, using this power also put pressure on the Sharingan. Although the damage wasn't as great as directly using dojutsu, it couldn't be underestimated either.

Speaking of dojutsu...

With a thought, Seimei retracted the silver-white arm and ribcage from his body and continued to sense the power residing within his Mangekyo Sharingan.

A moment later, a bloody tear suddenly flowed from his left eye.

Then, a power abruptly appeared, enveloping his entire body, making him disappear from his original spot.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

A full ten seconds later, Seimei reappeared.

At this time, that power had already vanished from his body, but his face was filled with shock and unconcealable joy.

No wonder, this power was simply too strong.

At this moment, there were only two words in Seimei's mind - Invincible!

That's right, invincible.

The dojutsu residing in his left eye was called 'Amenominaka,' only one word different from Kaguya Otsutsuki's Rinnegan ability to shift spaces - 'Amenominaka.' But their effects were vastly different.

To some extent, his 'Amenominaka' was even more powerful.

It had two main effects. The first was to extract him from this world, achieving a state of 'transcending the three realms, outside the five elements.'

In this state, whether it was ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu, no attack could harm him.

Even finding him was impossible.

Even if Seimei stood right in front of someone at this time, they wouldn't be able to see or touch him, as if the two were in different worlds, not affecting each other.

If it were just this, it would be fine.

Although this ability was very strong, it was far from being called invincible. The key was its second effect, which was that while extracting himself, it would also dispel all negative states from his body.

This was the most terrifying part!

In other words, even if he were hit by Kotoamatsukami, known as the 'strongest genjutsu,' and his will was unknowingly altered, as long as he activated Amenominaka once, he would instantly return to normal.

As for other situations like losing limbs, being poisoned, or cursed, the same principle applied.

'Amenominaka' was like a restart or rewind.

Theoretically, as long as he had a breath left and his consciousness was clear, he wouldn't truly die.

Of course, the prerequisite for this was that he had sufficient chakra in his body; otherwise, even with the ability, he wouldn't be able to use it.

However, this was enough to show the overpowered nature of 'Amenominaka.'

And as for why he awakened this ability, Seimei guessed it was probably related to his constant sense of crisis.

Because he had transmigrated into the Third Shinobi World War and his survival was at stake, and his strength was initially very average.

Therefore, for a long time, he lived in fear.

Thus, over time, deep down, he naturally yearned for 'invincibility.'

Moreover, he had once aspired to transcend in this world.

And this also required invincible strength.

With these two factors combined, it wasn't strange to awaken this ability.

The only pity was that he could currently only maintain 'Amenominaka' for a maximum of ten seconds.

Once this time was exceeded, it would cause a huge burden on his Sharingan, significantly advancing the time of blindness.

Therefore, even with this dojutsu, he was far from truly invincible. When caution was necessary, he still had to be careful.
