Seii opened his eyes, looked at the shadow clone in front of him, and nodded as he saw the scroll in its hand, signaling it to undo the "Shadow Clone Jutsu."
*Poof~*
With a puff of chakra smoke, the shadow clone vanished.
At the sa ti, a set of mories surfaced in his mind.
Seii briefly browsed through them and then paid them no further attention.
He opened the scroll in his hand, laying it flat on the ground. The scroll was filled with intricate sealing techniques, with a large "Seal" symbol in the center.
Relying on the mory in his mind, Seii raised his hand and ford a seal.
The next mont, the "Seal" character on the scroll expanded rapidly, transforming into a mass of black sealing techniques that spread from the scroll outward.
Seii casually picked up a stone and placed it within the sealing array.
Then, he reactivated the sealing scroll.
Instantly, the sealing symbols, like wriggling snakes, attached themselves to the stone, wrapping around it and then vanishing.
At the sa ti, the "Seal" character reappeared in the center of the scroll.
Having completed this step, Seii slowly closed his eyes.
Just a mont ago, when the scroll opened and closed, he faintly sensed an unknown space. Although the duration was very brief, it was enough for him to make up for a missing piece in his understanding.
Almost imdiately, Seii skillfully ford hand seals and cast the "Object Sealing Formation."
Although it still failed, just like when he had first tried to cast the "Guardian Seal," the technique silently appeared on his status panel.
Looking at the "Object Sealing Formation" marked at level 0 (1/100) on his panel, Seii let out a long sigh of relief.
Without wasting ti, Seii crossed his hands and ford the "Water" seal, casting the "Shadow Clone Jutsu," instantly creating five shadow clones.
Without needing orders, the clones began practicing the "Object Sealing Formation" on their own.
After practicing each ti, they would pause for a mont to reflect before continuing.
After every four or five repetitions, Seii would undo the "Shadow Clone Jutsu," using the panel's ability to absorb the gained experience and convert it into proficiency.
This way, the progress wouldn't slow down the next ti he summoned clones for practice.
After about half an hour, Seii successfully reached the beginner level in the "Object Sealing Formation."
Looking at the "Object Sealing Formation" marked at level 1 (1/100) on his panel, Seii smiled sincerely.
Not only that...
Seii closed his eyes and carefully sensed the surrounding environnt.
He realized that now, with the beginner-level mastery of the "Object Sealing Formation," he had developed a new understanding of the surrounding space. If he concentrated, he could faintly sense spatial fluctuations.
For a ninja, this was a unique talent.
Seii boldly speculated that this spatial awareness was likely a prerequisite for learning many space-ti ninjutsu.
Perhaps the common "Summoning Jutsu," due to its reliance on blood, didn't require much spatial awareness.
But for high-efficiency space-ti ninjutsu like the "Flying Thunder God Technique," this talent was essential.
Otherwise, even entry-level mastery would be impossible.
Realizing this, Seii couldn't help but feel fortunate. He hadn't forgotten that his long-term goal included mastering the "Flying Thunder God Technique."
And without a doubt, mastering the "Object Sealing Formation" had laid a solid foundation for that.
With this thought, Seii focused his mind, ford a hand seal, and released the sealing technique on the scroll in front of him, retrieving the test stone from within.
Next, he took out a vial containing a Byakugan from his ninja tool pouch. After forming seals again, he sealed the vial into the scroll.
Originally, Seii had planned to grind out more proficiency in the "Object Sealing Formation" to create his own scrolls and seal the Byakugan.
But now that he had the pre-made sealing scroll, there was no need to wait.
This would save him so ti, allowing him to focus more energy on practicing the "Mystic Palm Technique" and "Heart Reflection Jutsu."
These two skills were crucial for his foundational abilities. While other skills could be practiced at a slower pace, these two could not be neglected.
That's why, even after a tiring night, Seii had pushed himself to grind several hours on the "Mystic Palm Technique" and "Heart Reflection Jutsu."
Although he didn't complete his daily training tasks as planned, every bit of practice mattered.
As the saying goes, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." With the proficiency panel at his disposal, Seii seized every mont to train, knowing that missing a day was wasting the chance of living this second life.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Seii shook his head, put them aside, and retrieved the scroll in front of him. Then he ford seals again and summoned more shadow clones.
*Poof~*
Ten shadow clones appeared amidst a puff of chakra smoke.
Six of them, as usual, focused on practicing "Water Style: Water Wall," "Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu," "Water Style: Shark Bomb," "Rasengan," "Mind Body Switch Technique," and "Instant Sword Technique."
The remaining four clones had different tasks—three of them practiced the "Guardian Seal," the "Object Sealing Formation," and "Earth Style: Earth Spear."
The last clone continued developing the "Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall."
As for the "Earth Style: Earth Rising Spear"—
After so thought, Seii decided it probably wouldn't be needed anyti soon, so he didn't continue practicing it.
As for "Fine Disease Extraction" and "Wind Style: Rasenshuriken"—
The forr had just reached level 6 yesterday, but level 7 seed far off, so Seii had temporarily shelved it.
As for the latter—
The chakra allocated to it had been used up in practicing two sealing techniques and two Earth Style ninjutsu, so there was no chakra left for it.
So, for now, it had to be put on hold.
As for "Wind Style: Wind Wings" and "Shadow Clone Jutsu"—
"Wind Style: Wind Wings" could be practiced during his scouting mission at night.
And for the "Shadow Clone Jutsu," he would need to reserve ti to maintain his chakra at a lower level to practice efficiently.
So for now, he only needed ten shadow clones for his training.
Even though shadow clones didn't argue, the ticulous planning still made Seii feel a bit annoyed.
If only he had more chakra, he wouldn't have to be so careful. Like last night when he ground the "Earth Style: Earth Spear," he could easily raise the levels of all his skills.
Unfortunately, his chakra was limited.
Shaking his head, Seii stopped overthinking and began practicing the "Mystic Palm Technique" and "Heart Reflection Jutsu," strengthening his body and promoting the evolution of his Sharingan.
As for the chakra issue, he already had a plan in place. Once the war was over, he could put it into action, so there was no need to worry about it now.
