Standing at the edge of the cliff, Seii watched as Yukikaze's ashes fluttered down toward the sea, a flicker of regret passing through his eyes.
If Yukikaze hadn't suddenly turned on him, with her help, Seii figured he could've fused Wind Release and Water Release to develop Ice Release in just half a month.
"Such a sha," Seii muttered under his breath.
But then again, he realized maybe that's exactly why she made her move. Having spent so much ti with him, Yukikaze knew how close he was to succeeding. If he were in her shoes, a prisoner at soone's rcy, he'd probably worry about being silenced once the job was done—tossed aside like a tool no longer needed.
Even if that wasn't the case, as his enemy, Yukikaze definitely wouldn't want him wielding an even stronger power—especially one tied to her clan's kekkei genkai.
So, no matter how you looked at it, her betrayal was inevitable.
As for why she chose the morning to strike? Simple. Every night before resting, Seii used his Chakra Absorption Technique to drain whatever chakra Yukikaze hadn't used during the day, offsetting the heavy toll of his Flying Thunder God Technique. That ant mornings were when she was at her strongest.
She didn't attack during his first training session of the day to play the part of a compliant ally, lulling him into thinking everything was normal and lowering his guard. And, well, it worked—Seii had let his vigilance slip. Otherwise, his shadow clone wouldn't have been taken out in a single hit.
But it wasn't a fatal mistake. The S-rank technique he'd poured so much effort into developing—Soul-Sealing Contract Instant Teleportation Seal—was far more powerful than Yukikaze could've imagined. In the end, Seii ca out on top.
Still, as he'd noted, losing Yukikaze's assistance ant his progress on Ice Release would be delayed. It was early April now, and Seii estimated it'd take until mid-to-late April to complete the fusion.
Before that, though, he planned to push his Sharingan's evolution past (10,000/100,000) and grind his Chakra Refinent Technique to level 7.
With that in mind, Seii didn't waste any more ti. He quickly headed to the underground space where Yukikaze had stayed, erasing every trace she'd left behind. Then he scoured the island, wiping away the strange formations she'd created while demonstrating her Ice Release.
Once that was done, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport back to the island in the southern seas of the Land of Fire.
From there, it was straightforward—two words sumd it up: train hard. It was like Yukikaze never existed. Seii dove into his solitary grind.

Two days passed in a flash.
That afternoon, as Seii used his Heart Reflection Technique to stimulate his Sharingan's evolution, it felt like he'd pierced through an invisible barrier. In an instant, his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan activated on its own.
The black sun-like pattern in his eyes grew deeper, more intricate. The already crimson pupils surrounding it turned an even more vivid red, like they'd been forged from fresh blood, radiating an intimidating aura.
A surge of power welled up in Seii's chest. He savored the feeling for a while before snapping out of it, murmuring, "Finally, a breakthrough."
As expected, his ntal energy began to grow. He imdiately dispelled his Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. Poof, poof, poof! With bursts of chakra smoke, all 180 shadow clones—inside and outside the island—dissipated, their chakra and the past few minutes of training experience and mories flowing back into Seii's main body.
That's right, 180 shadow clones. After mastering the Spirit Transformation Technique and boosting his ntal attribute, that was the number of high-intensity training clones he could sustain at once. And he could already tell that number would increase after this breakthrough.
But that was for later. For now, his priority was absorbing and processing the flood of mories in his mind while adapting to the surge in ntal energy.
Ti ticked by, second by second.
About half an hour later, Seii opened his eyes. A sharp glint flashed in them, and an invisible pressure radiated from his body.
Even Seii couldn't help but marvel. Every small step from the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan toward the Rinnegan felt like a transformation. The boost to his ocular power was undeniable.
If he faced Uchiha Shisui now, even ignoring the fact that his Eternal Mangekyō didn't risk blindness like a regular Mangekyō, Seii was confident his raw ocular power would overwhelm Shisui's. A few more breakthroughs, and he'd be able to shrug off Shisui's Kotoamatsukami without even needing his Heavenly Guard.
Sure, Kotoamatsukami was called the strongest genjutsu in the ninja world, but all genjutsu relied on the Sharingan and its ocular power. With enough ocular strength, any technique could be overpowered. If you couldn't, it just ant your power wasn't enough.
A flurry of thoughts crossed Seii's mind before he silently called out, "Status!"
A familiar light blue, semi-transparent panel appeared:

His ntal attribute had gone up by one point, from 27 to 28. With it ca boosts to his potential and chakra recovery speed.
The forr showed in his theoretical chakra ceiling. Seii focused, fully activating his Chakra Refinent Technique to tap into his potential. After a while, based on the changes in his body, he estimated his new theoretical chakra ceiling and calculated the growth.
But because his ntal attribute was so much higher than his physique, the imbalance was growing. This ti, his chakra ceiling only increased by 1.45 million points—more than the 1.2 million from when his ntal attribute went from 26 to 27 after mastering the Spirit Transformation Technique, but still underwhelming for the effort it took to go from 27 to 28.
Seii could only hope that boosting his physique later would close the gap and unlock the suppressed potential. Otherwise, he'd be losing out big ti. Based on past experience, though, the odds were in his favor, so he wasn't too worried.
Beyond the chakra ceiling, his chakra recovery speed had also improved. Seii paused his Chakra Refinent Technique, sat quietly on a stone platform, and calculated his natural chakra recovery rate. With his proficiency panel, getting accurate data was easy.
Just like his chakra ceiling, the imbalance between his attributes held back his recovery speed. In about half an hour, his chakra only increased by 102,083 points. At that rate, he could recover 204,166 points per hour, or roughly 4.9 million points in a 24-hour day. Before this, it was 4.2 million.
So, this ntal attribute boost gave him an extra 700,000 points of usable chakra per day—better than the 600,000 from last ti, but still a bit lackluster for the effort.
Still, 700,000 extra chakra points wasn't nothing. Seii started thinking about how to allocate them. Pouring it all into Ice Release would speed up its developnt, but he quickly dismissed the idea. It wasn't that he couldn't handle the extra chakra; it was just inefficient. All his shadow clones were already working on Ice Release, and with his ntal boost, he'd soon be able to create even more. But piling on more clones would hit diminishing returns—so efficiency gain, but not worth the chakra cost.
After so thought, Seii figured allocating 400,000 points to Ice Release, bringing the total to a clean 2 million, would be enough. As for the remaining 300,000? Hoarding it felt like a waste, but he didn't have other skills to train right now.
Wait—suddenly, sothing clicked. Seii looked out at the ocean, his gaze piercing through the water to the trench below, where he'd been training his body.
"Maybe it's ti for a change of scenery," he murmured.
This was just a coastal area. Sure, so spots were deep, but nothing compared to the open ocean's depths. If he could find a better spot, he could not only burn through that extra chakra but also speed up his physical training. Plus, he'd been on this island long enough. No intruders yet, but switching locations wasn't a bad idea. A clever shinobi always has a backup hideout, right?
No ti like the present. Seii tapped into the chakra stored in his forehead's pocket dinsion, topping off his reserves. Then he ford hand signs and used the Shadow Clone Technique. Poof! A clone appeared in a puff of chakra smoke. Sharing Seii's mories, it didn't need instructions—it activated Wind Release: Wings of Wind and Chakra Cloak, transford into a streak of blue light, and soared into the sky toward the deep ocean.
On his trips to the Land of Water, Seii had spotted plenty of islands hidden in the sea. He hadn't studied their environnts or surrounding waters closely, but so were bound to make good new bases. The clone's mission was to scout them out.
Back on the stone platform, Seii turned his attention inward. He drew more chakra from his pocket dinsion to refill his reserves, then used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. Poof, poof, poof! This ti, 190 shadow clones appeared.
That's right—190. He hadn't found a new base yet, but he needed to test his limits now to figure out the optimal number of clones and chakra allocation. That way, once he had a new spot, he could hit the ground running with maximum efficiency.
As the clones dispersed, Seii raised his hand and activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode. Crackle! A layer of lightning-charged chakra enveloped him, shimring like a protective film. He extended his senses, locking onto a Flying Thunder God seal in the ocean trench below. With a thought, he triggered the technique.
Whoosh! In an instant, Seii vanished from the warm, comfortable island and reappeared at the bottom of the cold, oppressive trench. The sudden shift in environnt made him frown slightly, but that was minor compared to the pressure change. At hundreds of ters deep, the pressure was dozens of tis higher than at the surface. The Lightning Release Chakra Mode flickered and distorted under the water's flow, and Seii's face flushed red, like blood was rushing to his head.
Early on, it took him a while to adjust to this. Now, just a few breaths later, his expression normalized. Clearly, he was getting used to the pressure. In a month or two—three to five at most—this environnt wouldn't faze him at all. It'd stop being a harsh training ground, which was another reason he needed a new spot.
Pushing aside stray thoughts, Seii confird his Palm Sage Technique and Human Guard were functioning normally. Then, following the principles of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he began his physical training.
Ti ticked by, second by second…
