Just like that, the next day arrived.
That afternoon, Seii stuck to his plan. After finishing his training for Body Extre, he began using the Heart Reflection Technique to push his Sharingan's evolution.
In less than half an hour, he gained 10 evolution points.
Then, after another fifteen minutes of training, he picked up 5 more.
With that, his Sharingan finally hit the 15 evolution points needed for a breakthrough, crossing the (20,000/100,000) threshold.
At that mont, Seii felt a jolt in his mind. His Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan activated instinctively, the black sun-like pattern in his eyes suddenly deepening with an otherworldly intensity.
A powerful aura radiated from him—or more precisely, from his eyes—making the air around him feel almost solid.
If anyone with weak strength or shaky resolve was nearby, they'd probably pass out from the sheer pressure.
Heck, without even using genjutsu, Seii could likely make them go against their survival instincts and end themselves with just a thought.
From now on, if he wanted, no chunin or lower-ranked ninja would even be able to stand in his presence.
Reining in his thoughts, Seii closed his eyes to focus on the changes within him.
He could clearly feel his ntal strength surging as his Sharingan crossed the (20,000/100,000) mark.
Seii knew this was due to his ntal attribute leveling up.
In the past, his ntal strength would usually grow by 20-30% at most. But this ti…
About an hour later, the growth finally stopped.
Seii sensed it carefully—his ntal strength had doubled compared to before!
Clearly, this was way beyond what he'd expected. It was a massive leap.
"Could it be… did my ntal attribute jump by more than one point this ti?" Seii wondered.
With a thought, he pulled up his proficiency panel.
The familiar light blue, semi-transparent screen appeared:

The mont the panel appeared, Seii's eyes locked onto the basic attributes.
As expected, his ntal attribute had gone from 29 to 30—no unexpected multi-point jump.
That ant the only explanation for his ntal strength doubling was that hitting 30 in ntal triggered a qualitative transformation.
He'd had a hunch about this.
A few days ago, when his Constitution attribute leveled up, he'd ntioned that the next ntal boost might bring sothing special.
But he hadn't expected it to be this big.
And because of that, he started to question himself.
Clearly, he'd underestimated what breaking the 30-point barrier for ntal ant.
The surge in ntal strength was just one part of it.
Seii closed his eyes again, focusing on his surroundings.
Ti ticked by, second by second.
He sat cross-legged, still as a statue, just sensing.
After who-knows-how-long, his eyes snapped open, brimming with excitent.
"I knew it…"
Seii muttered, taking a few deep breaths to calm himself.
Then, in a low voice, he said, "So this is natural energy."
That's right—just monts ago, with his heightened ntal strength, he'd sensed the faint, omnipresent natural energy in the air.
During the ntal surge, he'd picked up on a strange energy but couldn't confirm it was natural energy.
Now, he was sure. This was the real deal.
He rembered last November when Orochimaru defected from the Hidden Leaf. During a mission, Seii had closely observed Jiraiya gathering natural energy to enter Sage Mode.
The sensation back then was almost identical to what he'd just felt.
So, he was certain—this was natural energy.
That's why Seii said the ntal surge was just a small part of the change. Sensing natural energy? That was the real transformation.
And it opened up a ton of possibilities.
But how to actually use it? That'd take so serious thought.
For now, though, he had a problem to deal with.
Sure, the ntal surge brought so aweso benefits, but it also ca with a big downside.
His Constitution attribute had hit 28 recently, nearly balancing with his ntal attribute.
But this ti, even though ntal only went up by one point, the effect was like a two- or three-point jump.
That put a huge strain on his body.
Right now, Seii could feel his overwhelming ntal strength pressing down on his physical form, making it hard to do much of anything.
He had to fix this.
After so thought, Seii ca up with two solutions. First, he could boost his Constitution attribute as fast as possible to close the gap with ntal.
Once his body caught up, the balance issue would sort itself out.
The second option was to seal part of his ntal strength to keep it from affecting his body.
For the first, Seii imdiately thought of natural energy.
Everyone knew Sage Mode massively strengthened the user's body. It should help his physical evolution, too.
This wasn't just a wild guess—he had evidence.
Take Naruto's blonde hair, inherited from Minato Namikaze. That showed how much Sage Mode could transform a body.
The ninja world wasn't a purely scientific one. With chakra and natural energy, genetics weren't just a matter of chance—they depended on whose genes were stronger.
Kushina Uzumaki, as the Nine-Tails' jinchuriki with a powerful seal, had incredibly strong Uzumaki genes.
Yet Naruto didn't inherit her signature red hair. Instead, he got Minato's blonde locks.
Minato, a common-born ninja, had little going for him besides his smarts and superhuman reflexes—oh, and training in Sage Mode under Jiraiya.
So, Seii had reason to believe sage chakra could supercharge a ninja's genetics.
That's why Naruto got his dad's hair.
If his theory was right, Seii could use natural energy to speed up his body's transformation, boosting his Constitution attribute faster.
But exactly how to do that would take so experintation.
As for the second option—sealing part of his ntal strength—Seii had so ideas there, too.
His Heart-Sealing Soul Lock: Instant Contract Seal could restrict a soul, the source of ntal strength.
If he could apply a similar seal to himself, he might be able to limit his surging ntal power.
It wouldn't be a permanent fix, but it'd buy him ti to boost his Constitution and resolve the crisis.
