The next day.
Seii woke up bright and early.
After breakfast, he left the village.
Then, using Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique), he teleported to the island in the southern seas of the Land of Fire.
At the island's center, on top of a massive boulder, Seii's figure appeared out of nowhere.
He glanced around, checking for anything unusual.
Finding nothing out of the ordinary, he followed his usual routine upon returning here. Raising his hands, he ford seals and activated Fūton: Kaze no Tsubasa (Wind Release: Wings of Wind) and cloaked himself in a Chakra Hagoromo (Chakra Cloak), soaring into the sky.
Then, he activated his Byakugan and began circling the island, using its penetrating vision to scan everything within a ten-kiloter radius.
Ti ticked by, second by second.
About ten minutes later, he'd thoroughly checked the entire area and found no abnormalities.
Completely at ease, Seii descended back to the island.
Wasting no ti, he raised both hands, crossing them into the "Nin" seal, and cast Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Multiple Shadow Clone Technique).
Poof!
A cloud of chakra smoke dispersed, and over a hundred figures appeared in the clearing.
Looking at his kage bunshin, Seii efficiently divided them into groups, as he'd done countless tis before.
After that, the clones split off in twos and threes, so heading to the distant beach, others venturing further out to the sea. Each found their own spot and began practicing the skills Seii had assigned them.
Satisfied with the setup, Seii nodded.
Then, without wasting another second, he dove into his own training.
His training was straightforward: strengthening his body.
A dense surge of Yang Release chakra gathered in his palm as he silently activated the A-rank ninjutsu Shōsen Jutsu (Mystical Palm Technique).
With a swift motion, Seii pressed the Yang chakra into his body.
Next, he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, triggering his right eye's dojutsu, Hito no Go (Ward of Man).
Instantly, an invisible force enveloped him.
Following his will, it began guiding his body toward evolution.
The Yang chakra he'd infused beca the fuel powering this transformation.
If soone could peer into his cells at that mont, they'd see them undergoing subtle, almost imperceptible changes under the influence of these two forces.
A single change like this might seem trivial, but over ti, with repetition, the transformation beca profound.
There were also so unique cells in his body.
They looked identical to Seii's own but displayed a distinct aggressiveness, as if ready to devour the surrounding cells belonging to him.
No, not "as if"—they were devouring his cells.
These weren't just any cells. They were Hashirama Senju's cells, forcibly taken from Obito Uchiha.
But this devouring process wasn't a bad thing. Seii had chosen a unique path for integrating Hashirama's cells: assimilation.
In simple terms, assimilation ant reshaping Hashirama's cells to match his own "form."
How did he do it?
It was straightforward. He fed his own cells to Hashirama's cells, then used Hito no Go to work from both inside and out, gradually aligning Hashirama's cells with his own.
That's why Seii saw this as a positive process.
Of course, this was only possible because he had Hito no Go, a dojutsu that gave him complete control over his body.
Without it, he wouldn't dare attempt this.
In fact, it wasn't just about assimilating Hashirama's cells. His ability to continually break through physical limits and evolve endlessly relied on this dojutsu.
While Hito no Go didn't have the flashiest presence or offer overwhelming attack or survival abilities, Seii valued it just as much as his invincible Ten no Go (Heaven's Ward).
These thoughts flickered through his mind, but Seii quickly refocused, pouring his full attention into guiding the Yang chakra to strengthen his body.
Ti passed, minute by minute. Every so often, Seii would cast Shōsen Jutsu again, channeling another burst of Yang chakra into his body, then use Hito no Go to steer the evolution.
When his eyes grew strained, he'd take a brief rest.
Soon, an hour had passed.
Seii paused Shōsen Jutsu, deactivated his Mangekyō Sharingan, and recalled all his kage bunshin, absorbing and processing their training experiences and mories from the past hour.
Once he'd fully digested them, he popped a few soldier pills to replenish his energy.
Then, he launched into the second round of training.
This ti, he didn't use Shōsen Jutsu or Hito no Go. Instead, he stepped off the boulder and activated Raiton Chakra Mōdo (Lightning Release Chakra Mode) to strengthen his body.
Like this, he alternated between static and dynamic thods every hour, switching up his body-strengthening techniques while absorbing his clones' training progress.
This cycle repeated, steadily elevating his abilities.
As the process continued, he could clearly feel the invisible shackles binding his body's growth growing stronger.
For anyone else, this might spell despair.
But not for Seii. With Hito no Go as his trump card, this only fueled his drive.
Why? Because the strengthening of those shackles ant he was getting closer to the critical point of his body's transformation.
The last ti his body had transford was over four months ago.
Four months.
For soone who'd been training for less than four years, that was a long ti. He'd never gone this long without a single increase in his base attributes on his status panel.
So, he was eagerly anticipating this critical mont.
But, as he'd predicted, before that mont arrived, a few of his other ninjutsu reached completion first.
One day later.
After redistributing his chakra and training for fourteen days, his Fūshin Sakkon: Keiyaku Shunshin no In (Heart-Sealing Soul Lock: Contract Instant Body Seal) leveled up first, reaching the perfect state of Lv9 (0/0).
This boosted the jutsu's effects even further.
Seii didn't dwell on it, though.
Right away, he took the 800,000 chakra points freed up by its completion and split them evenly, allocating 400,000 to Doton: Chōkajūgan no Jutsu (Earth Release: Super-Added Weight Rock Technique) and 400,000 to Doton: Chōkeijūgan no Jutsu (Earth Release: Super-Light Weight Rock Technique).
This increased his daily chakra investnt in each from 700,000 to 1,100,000, massively accelerating their proficiency gains.
As a result, the two jutsu, which would've taken two more days to level up, advanced nearly a day early. On the morning of the fourth day, they both reached Lv9 (0/0), hitting their perfect state.
