Grind is My Ninja Way

"You're back."

Seeing Seimei reappear, Uchiha Shisui immediately put down what he was doing, came to his side, and said.

"Yes."

Seimei nodded, ignoring the slightly inquisitive look in his eyes, and asked directly, "How's the situation now?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Shisui temporarily put aside his curiosity and said with a serious expression, "Not so good... Everyone is injured now and not suitable for continuing the journey."

"Injured..."

Seimei murmured upon hearing this.

Then he opened his panel and glanced at his medical ninjutsu:

Healing Technique: lv5 (0/0)!

Mystical Palm Technique: lv7 (19490/20000)!

Chakra Scalpel: lv5 (1200/5000)!

With these three ninjutsu, he could basically heal most external injuries.

And coincidentally, the injuries suffered by the Konoha ninjas on the field were mostly external injuries caused by various ninja tools, which were completely treatable.

Some injuries caused by ninjutsu might not be completely healed.

However, he didn't need to completely heal them, just stabilize their injuries and allow them to remain mobile.

With this in mind, Seimei closed the panel and walked towards a Konoha ninja.

Seeing him approach, the Konoha chunin said weakly, "Captain!"

"Yes."

Seimei nodded, carefully examined his injuries, and then said, "Relax, don't move!"

As he spoke, he formed hand seals and cast the 'Chakra Scalpel'.

A layer of chakra enveloped his right hand, and at his fingertips, a sharp edge extended out for an inch.

*Swish, swish, swish~*

Seimei waved his right hand, and with the help of the Sharingan's powerful insight, he quickly removed the rotten flesh from the wounds of the Konoha chunin in front of him.

Next, he formed seals again and cast the 'Mystical Palm Technique', infusing a ball of Yang Release chakra into one of the Konoha chunin's wounds.

Instantly, a tingling and numbing sensation spread.

The Konoha chunin couldn't help but move his body, but soon, he remembered Seimei's instructions and forcefully endured it.

Seeing this, Seimei nodded inwardly, then followed the same procedure, consecutively infusing several more balls of Yang Release chakra into his other wounds.

With this, the treatment was basically complete.

Next, he just needed to wait a bit.

Seimei didn't continue to waste time here. He stood up and walked towards another Konoha ninja.

Seeing this, Uchiha Shisui quickly followed and asked curiously, "Seimei, was that the 'Mystical Palm Technique' you just used? Why is it different from others?"

"The original 'Mystical Palm Technique' was too slow in its healing effect. This is my improved version," Seimei replied indifferently.

"Improved it yourself..."

Uchiha Shisui murmured upon hearing this, then said with admiration, "You're really amazing!"

"It's nothing, it just consumes a bit more chakra."

Speaking of this, Seimei paused slightly, suddenly turned to look at Uchiha Shisui, pondered for a moment, and said, "You should also prepare."

"Prepare for what?"

Uchiha Shisui was confused.

Seimei scanned his abdomen with his Sharingan and said, "To heal everyone, my chakra might not be enough. I need you to provide some."

"Chakra? Mine?"

Uchiha Shisui was stunned at first, then he recalled the scene during the battle where Seimei extracted chakra from those Mist ninjas.

Obviously, Seimei had mastered a ninjutsu that could extract chakra from others, and he was about to use it on him next.

Uchiha Shisui didn't feel any fear about this.

On the contrary, he was happy that he could be of help.

So, he nodded seriously and said, "No problem, I'll refine as much chakra as possible..."

Seimei didn't hear any reluctance in his words and couldn't help but look at him seriously, thinking to himself, "This dedication truly inherits the 'Will of Fire'!"

Although Seimei wasn't fond of the 'Will of Fire', it didn't prevent him from admiring people with such a selfless spirit.

Collecting his thoughts, Seimei nodded at him and then started treating the second person.

As for Uchiha Shisui...

After deciding to provide chakra, he went to the side, sat cross-legged, and began to push his body to the limit, refining chakra.

...

Time passed by.

Finally, after nearly an hour, with the efforts of Seimei and Uchiha Shisui, the surviving twenty or so Konoha ninjas all received effective treatment.

After such a long recovery period, although their injuries hadn't fully healed, they wouldn't affect their movement in the short term.

So, everyone quickly got moving, led by Seimei and Uchiha Shisui, and continued towards their destination.

It wasn't that Seimei was eager to get to the battlefield, but rather that this place wasn't safe.

Although most of the attacking Mist ninjas had been killed by them, and the rest had fled in panic, it didn't mean the enemy wouldn't make a comeback.

If it were just that, it would be fine.

With the enemy's current strength, Seimei wasn't really afraid.

But the problem was, if they called for reinforcements and gathered their forces again to launch an attack on them, it would be truly dangerous.

Although this possibility wasn't high, to be on the safe side, they couldn't take this risk.

Also, there was Danzo...

Although Aburame Torune's group had been silenced, and he had learned from his memories that only their small team was involved in this mission.

Logically speaking, under these circumstances, it would be impossible for Danzo to receive any relevant news in less than a day or two.

But again, he didn't want to gamble.

As the saying goes, if you don't gamble, you can't lose.

Since they had the opportunity, they should naturally leave this place.

In this way, even if the enemy had any tricks up their sleeve, they could respond calmly.

It was precisely because of this that he didn't hesitate to consume a large amount of chakra to heal the injuries of these Konoha ninjas.

Unfortunately, even with the practical experience bonus, the proficiency of his 'Mystical Palm Technique' still hadn't broken through lv7 and reached lv8.

Otherwise, his body would have undergone a transformation even faster.

But it was almost there.

After reaching their destination, it would only take about a day for his 'Mystical Palm Technique' to level up.

The 'Mystical Palm Technique' at lv8 would definitely have a far greater strengthening effect on the body than at lv7.

At that time, his body should be able to complete the accumulation of foundation within a week, leading to a new transformation.

By then, with the increase in 'Physique', both his physical potential and the endurance of his flesh would be further enhanced.

The former was fine for now...

Currently, his physical potential hadn't been fully developed yet, so further improvement could only be observed for the time being.

But the latter...

The increase in physical endurance meant that the cost of using the Mangekyo Sharingan would decrease.

In this way, as long as he didn't overuse it, the curse of blindness would be delayed.

This was undoubtedly a huge advantage for him.

However, these were just his speculations for now. The specifics would depend on the performance after the 'Physique' increase.

Shaking his head inwardly, Seimei stopped thinking about it and turned to continue leading the team forward.
