After dinner, Seii returned ho and wasted no ti, starting to nurture his Byakugan early.
Tomorrow, he'd end his break and return to Moon Island for intense training, so he wanted to get so rest soon.
Three and a half hours later, around 10 p.m., Seii finished nurturing his Byakugan.
After a quick wash, he settled down to rest.
…
The Next Day
Morning
Seii woke up early, packed his gear and supplies for the next ten days, and created a shadow clone.
As usual, he applied the All-Encompassing Seal to the clone, transferred so chakra, and quietly left the courtyard.
He dashed toward the edge of Konoha's sensory barrier.
After a brief scan, he skillfully activated Ama no Uki to slip through the barrier, arriving at a spot far from Konoha's watchtowers.
Seii activated his Byakugan, confird no one was around, and used Wind Release: Wings of Wind and Chakra Cloak to take flight.
Then, he cast Earth Release: Ultra-Lightweight Rock Technique to reduce his weight, soaring toward Moon Island at a speed of about 1.5 kiloters per second.
That's right—this ti, he didn't use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport.
Sure, with his current chakra reserves, he could teleport to Moon Island despite the greater distance compared to his previous training spot.
But that would waste too much chakra.
Flying, on the other hand, barely used any.
As for the ti it took?
At his current speed, it wouldn't take long at all.
So, there was no need to use Flying Thunder God.
Bathed in the morning light, Seii flew almost in a straight line to Moon Island, arriving in just about thirty minutes.
Circling above the island, he activated his Byakugan to scan the area. Once he confird nothing was out of the ordinary, he landed.
Standing in the central clearing, Seii pulled the Uchiha Fla Formation scroll from his ninja tool pouch and perford the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
With bursts of chakra smoke, over two hundred clones appeared.
Looking at them, Seii assigned most to continue developing Storm Release, leaving just over twenty to study and practice the Uchiha Fla Formation.
This ratio ca from his experience with the Wood Clone Technique—it wouldn't interfere with Storm Release progress.
No need for further tweaks later.
As for when these twenty-so clones would master the Uchiha Fla Formation and register it on his status panel, Seii wasn't too concerned.
To him, this technique was just a supplentary tool. Learning it sooner or later didn't matter much.
Still, with a solid training process, he estimated it'd take about one or two days—three at most—to master it.
Pushing aside stray thoughts, Seii sent the clones off and began performing the Mind's Eye Technique.
…
In a flash, it was the third day.
Morning
After finishing another round of Mind's Eye Technique, Seii dispelled the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, recalled all his clones, and absorbed their training experience from the past hour. Suddenly, his expression lit up.
Why? Because after two and a half days of practice, he'd finally registered the Uchiha Fla Formation on his status panel.
Opening his eyes, Seii stood, used a few Body Flicker Techniques, and appeared above the sea.
Raising his hands, he ford the seals—Snake, Boar, Ram, Monkey, Tiger—at a steady pace, then clapped his hands onto the water's surface.
The next mont, a dark red fla erupted from his palms, spiraling outward along the sea's surface.
Then, it surged upward, forming a cylindrical defensive barrier about thirty ters wide and fifty ters tall.
The barrier glowed a deep red, its Fire Release chakra so dense it seed almost solid.
Seii tilted his head, extending his senses outward. He could clearly feel the barrier's sturdiness.
Even though he'd just learned the technique and hadn't poured much chakra into it, his senses told him it could easily withstand a B-rank ninjutsu assault.
As long as his chakra held, it'd be nearly impossible for multiple attackers to break through.
"Not bad!" Seii said, nodding in satisfaction after sensing it for a bit longer.
With that, he stopped maintaining the technique, letting the barrier fade.
Checking his status panel, he saw the Uchiha Fla Formation's proficiency had ticked up by one point.
But that was just this ti.
Based on past experience, without that initial spark of insight, casting it successfully again wouldn't be so easy.
He'd likely need to practice it thousands of tis to reach basic mastery.
Fortunately, he didn't need to do it himself—his shadow clones could handle it. All he had to worry about was the chakra needed for practice.
But that would only beco clear once the technique reached Level 1 or even Level 2.
For now, he'd just keep going.
With that thought, Seii ford hand signs and cast Multiple Shadow Clone Technique again.
Another two hundred-plus clones appeared. He grouped them as before, sent them off, and resud his own training.
For the past hour, he'd been on the island, using Mind's Eye Technique to stimulate his Sharingan's evolution.
Now, it was ti to head underwater for physical training.
With a thought, he locked onto a Flying Thunder God mark on an underwater volcanic cliff, activated Lightning Release Chakra Mode to protect himself, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique.
In an instant, he went from the sea's surface to over five hundred ters underwater.
Wrapped in a Lightning Release Aura, Seii adjusted to the pressure for a mont before swimming deeper, stopping at seven hundred ters—his current limit.
He skillfully found a relatively flat spot on the volcanic cliff behind him, then ford hand signs and used Water Release: Water Severing Wave.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In a few quick motions, he carved out a roughly ten-square-ter platform on the cliff, cleared away the debris, and began his physical training.
