Grind is My Ninja Way

Four days passed in a flash.

Since visiting Uchiha Shisui four days ago, Seimei's days had returned to peace. Every day, he was either cultivating or on his way to cultivate.

As for missions...

Perhaps because Kirigakure had just swallowed the forward base and hadn't digested it yet, not only did they not increase the frequency of their attacks on the border of the Land of Fire, but they actually started to defend.

Similarly, Konoha was not in a hurry to retake the forward base.

Therefore, both sides entered a strange state of calm.

Because of this, Seimei simply went through the motions when carrying out missions, leaving the specific matters to his dozens of subordinates.

And he himself entered a state of frantic cultivation.

...

This afternoon.

Somewhere in the forest.

Seimei sat cross-legged on a green stone.

The 'Reflecting Heart Technique' was cast, and wisps of special Chakra were born from his brain due to the stimulation of this technique and seeped into his eyes.

A tingling sensation came, and Seimei forcibly endured the discomfort, carefully feeling the changes within.

About a minute later, the effect of the 'Reflecting Heart Technique' disappeared, and the special Chakra decreased until it completely disappeared.

After discovering this, Seimei didn't hesitate at all and formed seals again, casting the 'Reflecting Heart Technique'.

Once, twice...

Ten times, twenty times...

Soon, an hour passed.

The setting sun in the sky had already descended to the mountaintop, and dusk was approaching.

At a certain moment, Seimei opened his eyes, a flash of excitement in his eyes.

Immediately, he opened the panel and saw that the level of the 'Reflecting Heart Technique' had risen from lv7 (19999/20000) to lv8 (1/50000)!

That's right, after more than four days of practice, his 'Reflecting Heart Technique' had finally advanced.

Inexplicably, Seimei felt that his understanding of the 'Reflecting Heart Technique' had once again risen to a higher level.

At this time, the 'Reflecting Heart Technique' he knew was completely different from the useless technique that the seniors of the Uchiha clan had tried their best to develop in the early days.

If this genjutsu were to be released, it was feared that the entire Uchiha clan would go crazy.

Unfortunately, before his strength reached the point of being invincible in the ninja world, he would definitely not do this.

He still understood the principle of having a treasure invites trouble.

Once the Uchiha clan possessed this genjutsu that could systematically develop the Sharingan, let alone Konoha, even other villages would not let the Uchiha clan go.

After all, anyone with a bit of background knew the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan. They couldn't allow the Uchiha clan to grow like this.

So, in order to avoid the disaster of genocide happening in his hands, Seimei decided to keep this secret firmly.

He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. Seimei closed his eyes, and after his mood completely calmed down, he closed the panel.

Then, he carefully formed seals as if it was his first time practicing, mobilized the Chakra in his body, and cast the lv8 'Reflecting Heart Technique'.

The familiar special Chakra was born, converging into his eyes, and began to stimulate the nervous system in them, making his eyes slowly evolve.

A minute and a half later, Seimei opened his eyes. He opened the panel again and saw that the progress bar of 'Mangekyo Sharingan' in the bloodline column was still (5231/50000), and there was no change.

Seeing this scene, Seimei was slightly disappointed.

But soon, he put away this emotion.

Although this showed that the lv8 'Reflecting Heart Technique' could not increase the evolution progress of his Mangekyo Sharingan by one point at a time, it didn't mean that he still needed to practice three times like before.

Seimei took a deep breath, closed the panel, concentrated his mind, and cast the 'Reflecting Heart Technique' again.

As he expected, after only two times, the evolution progress of his Mangekyo Sharingan increased by one point.

In other words, from now on, every two times he cast the 'Reflecting Heart Technique', the 'Mangekyo Sharingan' would increase its evolution progress by one point.

This efficiency had increased by one-third compared to lv7.

At this rate, he only needed about fifteen months to accumulate 45,000 progress points, thus upgrading the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Fifteen months, that was one year and three months.

It was now June, in other words, his Sharingan could evolve into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan next September.

This time point was more than a month earlier than Naruto's birth.

And this was still under the premise that the Chakra he allocated to the 'Reflecting Heart Technique' every day in the future would not increase. If he increased the investment and compressed the time for the 'Mystical Palm Technique' to strengthen his body, this speed could be even faster.

In addition, according to the current progress, when the evolution progress of his Mangekyo Sharingan reached (30000/50000), his 'Reflecting Heart Technique' would be promoted to lv9.

At that time, its effect on promoting the evolution of the Sharingan would increase, and this time would be further shortened.

So, as long as there were no major changes, his Mangekyo Sharingan would definitely complete its evolution before September next year.

After reaching this conclusion, Seimei's mood, which had finally calmed down, became agitated again.

Seimei tried for a while but couldn't suppress this agitation, so he simply stood up and came to the place where his shadow clones were cultivating.

Although not long ago, he had just copied and learned a 'Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique' from Kisame Hoshigaki, just like the 'Needle Jizo' and 'Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique' he had learned before, there was no extra Chakra to invest in it.

So, for the time being, it could only be put on hold.

Currently, there were still only six shadow clones cultivating on the field, three of which were cultivating 'Wind Release: Wind Blade', 'Rasengan', and 'Wind Release: Rasenshuriken' respectively.

The other two were cultivating 'Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique' and 'Water Release: Water Wall'.

As for the last one, it was practicing 'Illusionary Sword Technique' and 'Instant Sword Technique'.

It could be said that both time and Chakra were squeezed to the limit by him.

Seeing this scene, Seimei nodded with satisfaction, then returned to the green stone and resumed practicing the 'Reflecting Heart Technique'.

This kind of repetitive practice, although with the blessing of the proficiency panel, he could see the progress every time, but after a long time, it would still feel boring.

Therefore, every once in a while, he would switch to practicing another skill, such as the 'Mystical Palm Technique'.

Before leaving the forward base, Seimei had said that it would take at most ten days to half a month for his body to reach the critical point of transformation.

Now, more than four days had passed, and Seimei's feeling became clearer and clearer.

He was certain that in at most another week, this critical point would arrive.

At that time, by using the power of 'Amenominaka', he could easily break the shackles and make his body undergo a transformation.

At that time, his 'Constitution' attribute would increase, his Chakra limit and Chakra recovery speed would increase, and he would have extra Chakra to practice the 'Needle Jizo', 'Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique', and 'Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique'.

With this in mind, Seimei stopped thinking and started to seize the time to use the 'Mystical Palm Technique' to strengthen his body.
