Time flows like water, trickling away.
Amid this peaceful atmosphere, two more days passed.
That morning.
After more than a week of practice, Seimei's Earth Release: Earth Flowing River finally advanced to Level 7 (0/0), reaching its perfected state.
This granted him an additional 100,000 points of freely distributable chakra.
But that wasn't all!
That afternoon, his Genjutsu: Darkness Technique also advanced as planned, leveling up to Level 7 (1/20,000)!
At the center of the island.
Seimei opened his eyes, having fully absorbed all the experience and memories from his shadow clones' training.
"Status Panel!"
With a single thought, Seimei summoned his proficiency panel.
Immediately, a familiar light blue screen appeared:

Looking at the progress from the past week, Seimei was very satisfied.
Even without considering anything else, he had gained five perfected skills.
Additionally, two new skills had been unlocked—Eight Trigrams Sealing and Mind Reading Technique!
The former had already reached Lv7 (14,300/20,000) and would take less than three days to level up to Lv8.
Once it advanced to Lv8, it would take roughly 25 more days to reach Lv9 (0/0), the perfected stage.
At that point, he could create sealing scrolls and containers for tailed beasts, allowing him to fully utilize the Seven-Tails' chakra.
Right now, he was only able to absorb the excess chakra that the Seven-Tails discarded.
Once he fully mastered the Seven-Tails, chakra shortage would no longer be a problem for a long time.
His skill progression would accelerate greatly.
By then, his only concern would be his mental endurance.
After all, to fully utilize the Seven-Tails' chakra, he would need to summon many shadow clones for training.
Right now, he could handle a dozen clones, but if it increased to dozens or even hundreds, things might get out of hand.
All of those clones would be undergoing intense training, which meant they would accumulate a vast amount of information.
Just thinking about it gave Seimei a headache.
Fortunately, his mental strength increased along with his Sharingan evolution.
Otherwise, he would truly be worried about the burden.
Still, at first, he wouldn't use too many shadow clones—unless...
He could find a more efficient way to boost his mental strength.
He had some ideas about that, but they weren't feasible yet.
So, for now, he would put them aside.
Moving his gaze from Eight Trigrams Sealing, Seimei focused on Mind Reading Technique.
This skill had fewer complications and was steadily progressing.
Just as he had predicted, it leveled up quickly, reaching Lv4 in just two days.
At the current rate of 1,090 proficiency points per day, it would take only one and a half days to reach Lv5.
Advancing to Lv6 would take less than five days.
As for Lv7, the stage where it would undergo a qualitative transformation, he would need nine days.
Lv7 was likely the skill's limit.
In other words, in just two weeks, this new skill would reach its perfected state.
This was extremely fast!
With a deep sigh, Seimei stopped focusing on these two skills and turned his attention to the rest.
Like them, his other skills had also improved significantly.
His Water Release: Great Exploding Water Wave had already advanced to Lv8, with 10% progress made.
At the current pace, within a month, it would become his sixth perfected A-rank skill—and a very practical one at that.
Additionally, thanks to 91,000 extra chakra points, his Flying Thunder God Technique was advancing much faster.
Currently, it had reached Lv7 (16,615/20,000) and would advance to Lv8 in just over two days.
Other skills, like Genjutsu: Darkness Technique and Nirvana Temple Technique, were also improving quickly.
The former had already reached Lv7, and the latter was just a step away.
Seeing Nirvana Temple Technique at Lv6 (8,030/10,000), Seimei decided to allocate 23,000 chakra points to it from the 100,000 points saved from Earth Flowing River reaching perfection.
This way, he could invest 100,000 chakra points per day, boosting proficiency from 640 to 830 points daily.
As for the remaining 77,000 chakra points:
41,000 points went to Mind Reading Technique to speed up its growth. 36,000 points went to Shadow Blade Technique.
With his training plans settled, Seimei closed the panel, performed Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu, and summoned over twenty clones.
One clone went to monitor the Seven-Tails, while the rest began their assignments.
As time passed, Seimei also entered training mode once more.
And just like that, time continued to fly by...
