Unfortunately, those final 2,000 proficiency points for Chakra Control would take at least another half month to grind out, based on his previous pace.
So, no upgrade in the immediate future.
Seimei shook his head slightly, pulling his focus away from Chakra Control. He gave his panel one last look before closing it.
By all accounts, it was still early enough to start pushing his Sharingan's evolution past the (90,000/100,000) mark.
But after some thought, he decided against it.
Here's why: based on past experience, breaking through would definitely bump his Mental stat.
His Mental stat was already at 39. Another boost would push it to 40.
Forty was a big deal—a threshold that'd trigger a major transformation.
When that happened, his mental energy would go through the roof.
Last time, when his Mental stat hit 39 without a transformation, the surge in mental energy had nearly overwhelmed him.
This time, if he rushed in without prep, it'd be even riskier.
So, after mulling it over, he decided to let his body and mind sync up for a bit longer, building some resistance to another imbalance before making the leap.
As for when? Tomorrow would do just fine!
Of course, he wasn't about to waste the rest of today.
It was the perfect chance to test how much his body's endurance had improved after its latest transformation.
No sooner thought than done. Seimei formed seals and cast Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.
In a flash, four hundred shadow clones appeared.
Glancing around, he noted that since he'd spent the whole day on body training, he hadn't set up a wood clone in advance.
So, he formed another seal, casting Wood Clone Jutsu to create one.
He sealed the four hundred shadow clones into a scroll and handed it to the wood clone, tasking it with heading to the primitive forests in the northeast of the Land of Fire to keep absorbing natural energy.
After topping off his chakra reserves, he cast Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu again.
Poof, poof, poof!
Ninety more shadow clones popped up.
These, Seimei assigned to work on his Bloodline Network.
With all the clones sent off, Seimei teleported into the volcano beneath Moon Island and kicked off another round of body strengthening.
Time ticked by steadily.
Before he knew it, night had fallen.
Seimei wrapped up his final training session and returned to Moon Island's surface.
As he waited for his body to heal, he started reviewing the past few hours' gains.
Based on how his body had evolved and the chakra he'd burned through, Seimei roughly estimated how much his physical endurance had improved post-transformation.
Back when his Constitution was at 38, full-day body training took about 90 million chakra points to hit peak efficiency.
Now? He figured it'd take at least 120 million.
In other words, this transformation had boosted his body's endurance by over thirty percent.
Seimei was both thrilled and worried.
Thrilled because the more chakra his body could handle, the faster it'd evolve, speeding up his Constitution stat growth.
Worried because his chakra consumption was climbing too fast.
Right now, 120 million points was manageable—he could grit his teeth and pull from his backup chakra reserves.
But next time?
When his body transformed again, his Constitution would hit 40, triggering its own transformation.
Then, his endurance might not just jump by thirty percent—it could be forty, fifty, even sixty percent.
How much would he need to pull from his reserves to keep up then?
Seimei didn't even want to think about it.
Good thing that was a problem for later.
For now, he didn't need to stress too much.
Clearing his mind, Seimei checked himself. Once he confirmed his body had healed from the damage caused by the volcano's harsh environment, he dispelled Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Instantly, a flood of memories poured into his mind.
Along with it came a surge of chakra and natural energy from the dissolved clones.
Following his usual routine, he sorted and stored the chakra and natural energy first, then started sifting through the memories.
About fifteen minutes later, he'd gone through all the clones' memories, absorbing and digesting their training experience.
With that done, he headed back to the cabin to rest.
The night passed quietly.

The next morning, Seimei was up early.
He checked himself, confirming his mind and body were back at peak condition, and nodded in satisfaction.
After a quick wash, he downed a few enhanced soldier pills to fill up.
Then, he headed straight to the clearing at Moon Island's center and cast Mirror Heart Jutsu to push his Sharingan's evolution.
Time slipped by.
This time, it took a bit longer—about twenty minutes—to scrape together the last bit of evolution progress needed.
"Panel!"
With a thought, Seimei opened his proficiency panel.
As expected, his Sharingan's evolution progress flickered, then jumped from (89,999/100,000) to (90,000/100,000).
In that moment, his Sharingan activated on its own. The black sun-like pattern unique to him grew deeper and more profound than ever.
An aura of pressure radiated from it.
Seimei scanned the area ahead, and everything seemed to slow down, like time itself had paused.
He looked up at the distant trees.
With a single glance, he spotted a mosquito frozen on a leaf.
But that wasn't all!
The instant his Sharingan hit (90,000/100,000), his Mental stat shifted. Just as he'd predicted, it shot up from 39 to 40.
And with it came a massive surge in mental energy.
Seimei didn't have time to marvel at his Sharingan's changes.
Right now, his entire focus was on controlling that mental energy.
Even so, it was spreading wildly in every direction, with moments of losing control.
If anyone were watching the island's animals and bugs, they'd notice some dropping dead out of nowhere.
They were being crushed by Seimei's overwhelming mental energy.
He was suddenly grateful he'd chosen to train far from people.
If he hadn't, this surge could've killed someone.
Even if it didn't, the sudden rush of his mental energy would've left people with serious mental damage—maybe even unable to function.
Luckily, none of that happened.
Clearing his thoughts, Seimei focused entirely on reining in the spreading mental energy.
