The sun set, and the moon rose.
In the blink of an eye, it was deep into the night.
The war had already co to a halt by midday.
In the end, the Mist ninja retreated with about one-third of their forces, boarding their warships and leaving Yujin Port behind. They headed toward the base established by the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Waves.
Of course, it was now the Mist Village's base.
After their departure, Nara Shikakazu did not remain idle. He first sent personnel to closely monitor the Mist ninja's movents. Then, using Yujin Port as a stronghold, he began re-establishing new defensive lines.
However, these matters had little to do with Seii.
After treating a portion of the seriously injured, he handed over the dical efforts to the dical ninjas who had followed the main force.
Following this, he created a shadow clone to assist Nara Shikakazu while his real body left Yujin Port to begin his training.
Now, over ten hours had passed.
By pushing the limits of the "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique," Seii had completely depleted the chakra extracted by his clones earlier.
Not only had this replenished the energy and stamina he expended during the day's battles, but it had also significantly increased his proficiency in several techniques.
"Panel!"
In a forest clearing, beside a campfire, Seii opened his eyes. With a thought, he summoned his proficiency panel.
In the next instant, the familiar light-blue interface appeared.

Compared to more than twenty days ago, his panel had undergone significant changes.
Seven techniques had reached their mastered states, and four new skills had been added: "Lightning Blade Technique," "Lightning Serpent," "Thunder Prison," and "Shadow Blade Technique."
Among them, the "Shadow Blade Technique" was his personal creation.
Having developed it himself, Seii was deeply familiar with its intricacies. Frequent battles in recent tis had rapidly increased its proficiency, and it had already reached Lv5 (2,100/5,000).
Going forward, all he needed was to steadily improve its proficiency to make it a key component of his close-combat arsenal, alongside his "Flash Blade Technique" and "Phantom Blade Technique."
As for "Lightning Release: Lightning Sword," "Lightning Release: Lightning Serpent," and "Lightning Release: Lightning Prison," these techniques were extracted from the mories of the young Thunder Shadow by his shadow clone.
As he had suspected, the opponent knew quite a few Lightning Release jutsu. However, only these three techniques caught his interest.
Among them, "Lightning Release: Lightning Sword" was a B-rank jutsu that, when perford, not only enhanced the user's speed but also imbued their weapon with high-temperature lightning that caused paralysis.
The effects were impressive! After finding the training thod for this technique from the mories, Seii had his shadow clone practice it.
Perhaps due to his deep understanding of swordsmanship—having mastered several techniques to perfection—it didn't take long for him to get started with this jutsu.
However, advancing further was no easy task.
Mastery required not only a deep comprehension of swordsmanship but also precise control of lightning chakra.
Otherwise, the effort would yield little benefit.
Clearly, Seii's current level—having perfected only a single C-rank jutsu, "Lightning Release: Thunder Strike"—was insufficient for these requirents.
This was one of the reasons he chose to focus on the other two jutsu.
Although "Lightning Release: Lightning Serpent" was also a C-rank jutsu, it could be considered a variant and extension of "Lightning Release: Thunder Strike."
With enough chakra investnt, it would be easy for him to master this jutsu completely.
Once that happened, his understanding of lightning chakra would naturally deepen, accelerating his progress with "Lightning Release: Lightning Sword."
Of course, relying solely on mastering two C-rank jutsu wouldn't be enough to perfect "Lightning Release: Lightning Sword" quickly.
That's where "Lightning Release: Lightning Prison" ca in.
This B-rank jutsu was challenging to learn, but mastering it would further enhance his understanding of lightning chakra. This, in turn, would speed up his progress with "Lightning Release: Lightning Sword" while enriching his arsenal of combat techniques.
After all, "Lightning Release: Lightning Prison" was both a damaging and control-based jutsu.
According to the mories of the young Thunder Shadow, once unleashed, this technique could cover an area of over a hundred ters with lightning—transforming it into a prison of thunder.
The only drawback was that everyone within the range, including the user, would be subjected to indiscriminate lightning strikes.
Thus, unless absolutely necessary, neither the young Thunder Shadow nor others who knew this jutsu would use it lightly.
For Seii, however, this wasn't a problem.
His "Chakra Cloak," composed of wind chakra, countered Lightning Release perfectly, making him ideally suited to use this technique.
Therefore, Seii morized the training thod for "Lightning Release: Lightning Prison" without hesitation.
That said, training in this jutsu was no easy feat. After a brief attempt by his shadow clone, Seii decided to put it aside for now.
Although he could allocate as much as 590,000 chakra points daily, every bit of it was already assigned with no room to spare.
Seii wasn't about to disrupt his plans for the sake of a few jutsu.
However, his "Guardian Seal" was expected to reach level 7 (0/0) perfection within half a month.
By then, he would have 45,000 chakra points available for reallocation.
Seii planned to use this additional chakra for training in the Lightning Release techniques.
With consistent effort, in just over half a month, the evolution of his Mangekyō Sharingan would likely surpass the 30,000/50,000 threshold.
Based on past experience, his "Spirit" attribute was highly likely to increase at that point.
When that happened, his daily chakra capacity would grow accordingly.
By dedicating this newfound chakra to the Lightning Release jutsu, Seii would no longer have to worry about falling behind in progress.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Seii dismissed them. After closing the panel, he activated "Wind Release: Wings of Wind" and "Chakra Cloak," flying swiftly toward Yujin Port.
At this mont, Yujin Port had beco the center of Konoha's operations on this battlefield. Even the resting quarters for Jonin like him had been arranged within the port.
Without alerting anyone, Seii quietly returned to Yujin Port.
After arriving at his residence, he lay down and imdiately fell asleep.
Before long, the soft sound of snoring filled the room.
