As the sun set and the moon rose, several hours passed by in the blink of an eye.
Evening had arrived.
In a remote forest, by the side of a crackling campfire, Seii sat with his eyes closed, processing the training experience and mories delivered by his shadow clones. He worked hard to convert them into proficiency points for his various skills.
After a long while, he opened his eyes.
"Huff—"
Exhaling softly, Seii muttered to himself, "Finally, it's all digested."
Indeed, after several hours of effort, he had successfully absorbed nearly 400,000 chakra points accumulated during the day. Thanks to careful planning, very little was wasted.
As always, he divided the extra chakra evenly between Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique and Chakra Cloak, increasing their proficiencies by 1,200 points and 1,800 points, respectively.
The Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique broke through to the next level, advancing from Lv5 (625/5000) to Lv5 (1830/5000). Similarly, Chakra Cloak made significant progress in its current level, jumping from Lv6 (2330/5000) to Lv6 (4150/5000).
Seii was very satisfied with these results.
Now, his next goal was to make a breakthrough in the evolution of his Sharingan, crossing the (20,000/50,000) milestone to enhance his ntal attribute.
Earlier that morning, Seii had anticipated that his Sharingan was on the verge of a breakthrough. Over the past hours, while digesting the extra chakra, he hadn't neglected his scheduled training, especially the Reflection Technique, which he practiced diligently.
As a result, he was now at the final step.
However, just as he was about to push forward, a mory surfaced in his mind.
Pausing his Reflection Technique, Seii quickly sifted through the recollections.
The mory ca from a shadow clone tasked with surveillance. It was lengthy and detailed, taking him so ti to fully process. From it, Seii learned that the mission had already been concluded.
The clone had not only finished the mission but had also prepared the summary and report before dispelling itself on the way back to the Blackstone outpost.
From the mory, Seii understood that among the scattered Mist Ninja squads, only one managed to escape. The rest had been encircled and captured by the Konoha ninjas who arrived later.
In hindsight, Konoha's losses weren't too severe. Although they lost a stronghold and suffered casualties due to the Mist's attack and the involvent of the Six-Tails, their counterattack inflicted a significant price on the Mist Village.
After a brief mont of thought, Seii stopped dwelling on the mission's results and refocused his energy. He began practicing the Reflection Technique with the intent to cross the last threshold.
The crackle of the firewood occasionally echoed through the quiet forest.
Sitting cross-legged by the campfire, Seii perford the Reflection Technique repeatedly. Each two-minute cycle increased his Sharingan's evolution progress by one point. Though slow, the progress was steady and unwavering.
Ti ticked by.
About half an hour later, Seii's Sharingan finally broke through the (20,000/50,000) milestone.
At that mont, his Mangekyō Sharingan activated instinctively, unleashing a surge of ocular power into the depths of his mind, stimulating his ntal growth.
Seii could distinctly feel his ntal attribute improving.
Unconsciously, he imrsed himself in the sensation.
Five minutes later, the growth halted.
"Status panel!"
With a thought, Seii summoned his proficiency panel.
The familiar light blue screen appeared.

"Only one point?"
Seii murmured as he observed the increase in his ntal attribute from 20 to 21.
Initially, he expected a larger boost from crossing the (20,000/50,000) milestone, but the gain was still a significant step forward.
While the increase seed modest, his ntal strength had risen by approximately 50%. It was clear he had underestimated the exponential growth required for attributes beyond 20.
Though the gain in ntal was just one point, it ca with substantial benefits. His chakra capacity increased, raising his theoretical limit from 500,000 to 600,000 points—an extra 100,000 points. Additionally, his natural chakra recovery rate improved, allowing him to recover up to 430,000 points daily compared to 350,000 previously.
"Ultimately, self-reliance is key!" Seii thought, reflecting on his newfound strength.
With nearly 500,000 points of chakra available daily, Seii was confident he could push his abilities to even greater heights.
Seii roughly estimated that his ntal strength now is at least 1.5 tis what it was when it was at 20 points.
In other words, this improvent is a significant 50% increase.
The reason he initially misjudged the enhancent is that he underestimated the exponential gap between points after surpassing a base attribute of 20.
Previously, the incrental increase between each point grew progressively, but the growth was relatively limited.
This ti, however, it greatly exceeded his expectations.
As such, Seii was not particularly concerned about adding just one point to his "ntal" attribute.
Now, he was testing the changes brought by this increase in ntal strength.
First and foremost, it undoubtedly elevated his potential and raised his upper limits, increasing his theoretical chakra capacity from 500,000 points to 600,000 points—a gain of 100,000 points.
While this increase is slightly lower than the 110,000-point gain from raising his "physical" attribute to 20, it is still considerable.
After all, the previous instance occurred when his "physical" and "ntal" attributes achieved balance—a special condition that naturally allowed for a greater boost.
Aside from the breakthrough in theoretical chakra capacity, there was also an improvent in chakra recovery speed.
In fact, this aspect was his main focus.
After all, in the short term, it was unlikely his chakra reserve would reach the theoretical maximum.
Conversely, the amount of chakra he could recover daily directly influenced the rate of his power growth.
Chakra recovery speed is composed of two elents: Chakra Refinent Technique and natural recovery.
Among these, the level of the Chakra Refinent Technique remained unchanged, so the amount of chakra recovered per hour also remained constant.
Additionally, the enhancent of the "ntal" attribute did not improve his physical endurance, aning he could still only sustain 18 hours of Chakra Refinent Technique per day.
Thus, the amount of chakra recovered through this technique remained unaltered.
As for natural recovery,
Seii closed his eyes, paused the operation of the Chakra Refinent Technique, and quietly waited for his chakra to replenish.
About half an hour later, Seii opened his eyes and compared the changes in the chakra displayed on his interface.
Finally, he concluded that after this improvent, his body's natural daily chakra recovery had increased from 350,000 points to 430,000 points—an increase of 80,000 points.
Clearly, this gain was also less than the 100,000-point increase when his physical attribute surpassed 20.
Still, as ntioned earlier, that prior boost was due to the unique situation of rebalancing his body and mind, so a larger incrent was expected.
Even so, with 430,000 points of naturally recovered chakra and an additional 36,000 points restored through 18 hours of Chakra Refinent Technique, his total daily usable chakra reached an astounding 466,000 points.
This demonstrates that, unless he acquires a tailed beast later on, the typical "chakra battery" can no longer keep up with his growth rate.
After all, nearly 500,000 freely usable chakra points per day would require the contributions of dozens of individuals to match via plundering—a scenario too unrealistic to consider.
Therefore,
"Relying on oneself is the way to go!"
Muttering this sentint to himself, Seii began to contemplate how to allocate this additional chakra effectively.
