Grind is My Ninja Way

After briefly checking his gains this time, Seimei didn't stay any longer. He quickly cleaned up the traces around him and then arrived at the top of Flying Stone Ravine.

He activated his Sharingan, scanned the surroundings, and confirmed that no one had been attracted by the commotion just now. Then, he returned to the Kogatani Village stronghold.

It was already late at night.

Under the moonlight, Seimei moved like a ghost, easily avoiding the surveillance of the Iwa ninjas on the outskirts and the patrols of the Konoha ninjas inside, silently returning to his residence.

Inside the wooden house.

Seimei washed up, then did nothing else but lay directly on the bed. Within a few breaths, he started snoring softly.

Obviously, he had fallen asleep.

He had been too tired in the past month or two, severely lacking sleep. Every day, he either had to train or fight, with barely any time to rest.

Now, after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, his strength had soared to the Kage level, and he had a certain degree of self-preservation ability. He could finally get a good rest.

Therefore, in the next three days, Seimei didn't do any training and relaxed completely.

Of course, he didn't do nothing at all. At the very least, the newly awakened Mangekyo Sharingan needed time to adapt to.

He just took this opportunity to properly experience the changes brought about by the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Not to mention anything else, just the four-point increase in his 'Spirit' attribute from awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan had greatly enhanced the power of his genjutsu.

Now, if he were to face a Jonin like Kari again, even if he still only relied on his three-tomoe Sharingan, Seimei was confident that he could use the instant 'Genjutsu: Sharingan' to control the opponent for a while, instead of them easily breaking free.

If he added the Mangekyo Sharingan, as long as the opponent didn't dodge, there was basically no possibility of them breaking free.

In other words, he had another trump card.

Moreover, it was a very concealed one.

Just imagine, someone was fighting him, already familiar with his limits, and had some countermeasures for his various techniques, including the three-tomoe Sharingan.

Then, he suddenly used the Mangekyo Sharingan. What would be the result? The opponent probably wouldn't even have time to react!

Let alone Susanoo, such a 'divine power.' Even in its initial form, its attack and defense capabilities were not to be underestimated.

And even if all of these didn't work, he still had the 'Amenominaka.' Ten seconds was enough for him to do many things.

It could be said that now, against any Jonin, there was no reason for him to lose.

However, because both of his dojutsu had no offensive capabilities, he still needed to strengthen his conventional combat methods.

With this thought, Seimei began to allocate the chakra in his body.

Currently, he could recover 85,000 chakra points per day. Seimei planned to use 36,000 of them to strengthen his body, which meant using the Mystical Palm Technique.

And each use of the Mystical Palm Technique consumed about 150 chakra points, so 36,000 points meant 240 uses.

At a frequency of once every three minutes, this training would take about twelve hours.

In addition, Seimei also planned to use 30,000 chakra points to tap into the potential of the Mangekyo Sharingan, to improve 'Amenominaka,' 'Hito no Mi,' and the growth of Susanoo.

As for the method...

Naturally, it was to practice the Reflecting Heart Technique.

Currently, his 'Chakra Control' was at lv5 (1450/5000), which could reduce chakra consumption by 26.5%.

Thus, practicing the Reflecting Heart Technique once would roughly consume 150 to 160 chakra points, and 30,000 points meant 192 uses.

This would take about three hours.

12 + 3 = 15!

In other words, just these two training methods alone would take up fifteen hours of his day.

From this, it could be seen that as the amount of chakra he could use daily continued to increase, chakra was no longer the key factor limiting his growth. The lack of time was the big problem!

Most importantly, whether it was strengthening his body with the Mystical Palm Technique or tapping into his potential with the Reflecting Heart Technique, neither of these could be done by shadow clones.

In other words, he couldn't use the Shadow Clone Technique to share the burden.

Therefore, time was very tight for him.

The only good news was that his other skills could accumulate experience through shadow clones, which could then be transferred back to the main body and converted into proficiency.

Although this would waste some chakra and wasn't the most efficient, for him, who was short on time, it was already the best solution.

Therefore, Seimei planned to have his shadow clones consume the remaining 19,000 chakra points in this way.

As for which skills to practice...

Considering that these conventional methods were to compensate for the lack of offensive capabilities in his dojutsu, the ones worth investing in were 'Wind Release: Wind Blade' and 'Rasengan.'

The former was already a decent Wind Release ninjutsu and could be further improved.

The latter was the foundation for him to develop the S-rank forbidden technique - 'Wind Release: Rasenshuriken,' so he couldn't neglect it.

As for other skills...

If there was additional chakra available, he could invest some in them. If not, he could only make do for now.

After completing the allocation, Seimei began his training.

However, unlike the simple repetitive practice in the past,

Now, whether he was using the Mystical Palm Technique to strengthen his body or the Reflecting Heart Technique to increase the evolution progress of his Mangekyo Sharingan, he would basically activate his Mangekyo Sharingan and use 'Hito no Mi' to guide his body's evolution every ten times or so.

Although his current ocular power was somewhat weak and he couldn't achieve deeper control, 'Hito no Mi' itself could take effect according to his subjective will.

Therefore, even if he couldn't see any obvious changes, it was subtly changing his body, making it evolve in the direction he desired.

So, intermittently using 'Hito no Mi' was still very necessary.

The only thing to note was that each use couldn't last too long because such frequent use of 'Hito no Mi' put some strain on his right eye.

To ensure that he could increase his 'Constitution' attribute before any serious consequences arose and alleviate the pressure, he had to master the rhythm.

And after almost a day of training, he had basically deduced the time required for his 'Constitution' attribute to increase from 14 to 15.

At the current rate, it would probably take about twenty days for his body to accumulate enough foundation and then undergo transformation.

This was about one-third faster than the time it took to increase from 13 to 14.

Logically speaking, the difficulty of increasing from 14 to 15 should be higher than from 13 to 14, and the time required should also be longer.

But now it was shorter.

There was only one reason for this: the guiding effect of 'Hito no Mi' allowed him to avoid many detours, thus saving time.

Moreover, it was foreseeable that as 'Hito no Mi' improved and its effects became stronger, the time saved would be even more significant.

Perhaps, the time required for his 'Constitution' attribute to increase from 15 to 16 in the future would be even shorter than now.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Seimei focused, continuing his training.

Just like that, days passed by.
