Another day passed.
After going through several checkpoints, Seimei finally returned to the base camp.
However, after returning, he didn't rush to write the mission report. Instead, he planned to take a bath and clean himself up first.
The camp's conditions were limited, so Seimei went directly to a waterfall not far from the training ground.
After taking a comfortable bath there and changing into a new set of clothes, he started to write a detailed account of his mission experience.
Because the shadow clone had been active the entire time, it didn't take him long to finish the mission report.
After submitting it, Seimei didn't care how the higher-ups viewed the report. He went back to his quarters and fell asleep.
For almost ten days, he hadn't had a good night's sleep. Now that he was finally back, he naturally wanted to sleep well.
...
Time flew by, and it was noon the next day.
Seimei, who had slept for over twenty hours straight, finally woke up.
The next moment, he abruptly sat up straight, his Sharingan involuntarily activating, and his gaze warily scanned the surroundings.
Only after seeing the furnishings inside the tent did he recall that he had already returned to the base camp.
"Phew—"
Seimei couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Thump~
He fell back and closed his eyes again.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
A full ten minutes passed, and Seimei still couldn't fall asleep. Even though he was still a bit tired, he just couldn't sleep.
He decided not to force himself to sleep anymore. He propped himself up with his hands and sat up again.
"Status!"
With a thought, Seimei opened the proficiency panel.
The next moment, the familiar light blue screen appeared.

Seimei looked at the three-tomoe Sharingan on the panel, its evolution progress reaching (8724/10000). He quickly calculated that he would need about 200,000 more chakra points to push it to the brink of evolution.
Currently, his chakra recovery rate was 21,000 points per day.
In other words, it would only take about ten days for him to accumulate enough chakra.
Seimei pondered for a while and decided to do nothing for the next period, focusing solely on cultivating the 'Heart Reflection Technique' to raise his Sharingan's evolution progress to at least 9,900 points.
Although he had safely escaped being pursued and intercepted by Iwagakure this time, the process was still somewhat dangerous.
Now, Seimei urgently desired a trump card that could turn the tide of battle.
This way, if he encountered any difficult situations in the future, he could simply overturn the table.
Undoubtedly, the Mangekyo Sharingan possessed such power.
That's why he wanted to push his Sharingan to the verge of evolution in the shortest possible time.
This way, at a critical moment, he could forcibly awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan and gain the power to change the course of battle.
However, if he did that, the gap between his 'Spirit' attribute and 'Physique' attribute would widen further, and the risk of triggering a genetic disease would increase exponentially.
Therefore, he had to immediately start working on improving his 'Physique' attribute after his Sharingan's evolution progress reached the critical point.
Only in this way could he avoid suffering the consequences after overturning the table.
As for the method of improvement...
He would follow the method he had summarized before, using the Yang Release chakra generated by high-level medical ninjutsu to nourish his body, allowing it to improve naturally.
This was currently the easiest and least harmful method for him.
Of course, at this stage, he couldn't just focus on medical ninjutsu.
Techniques like 'Wind Release: Great Breakthrough', 'Rasengan', 'Genjutsu: Sharingan', and 'Swordsmanship' all needed to be practiced simultaneously.
But by then, he might have to go back to his old ways, capturing prisoners and using them as 'chakra batteries'.
Thinking of this, Seimei felt a bit of a headache. After a while, he sighed lightly and said, "Ah, if only I had a tailed beast."
However, for now, he could only imagine. Before awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, he wouldn't risk taking action against a tailed beast.
Even after awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, he wouldn't make a move without absolute certainty.
You know, there were quite a few people in the ninja world eyeing the tailed beasts. Not to mention the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Seimei knew their methods, so he wasn't too worried about them.
The key was Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu. These two were also after the nine tailed beasts.
Uchiha Madara was fine; his lifespan would soon come to an end, and then Seimei wouldn't have to worry anymore.
But Black Zetsu was different. He had no lifespan concerns.
As the will incarnate of Kaguya Otsutsuki, he had been working for a thousand years in the ninja world to resurrect his mother. This time was almost the most promising one.
Therefore, this time, he definitely wouldn't let others take possession of the tailed beasts.
If Seimei wanted to target the tailed beasts, he would inevitably clash with him.
Considering Black Zetsu's near-perfect concealment ability and pervasive investigative capabilities, Seimei felt that before taking action, he had to master a sufficiently strong detection method.
Otherwise, he might capture a tailed beast in the morning, only to have his home stolen in the afternoon.
Seimei didn't want to do all the work for someone else, so he had to be fully prepared.
Additionally, there was Nagato. When he led the Akatsuki, their ultimate goal was to capture the tailed beasts. This also couldn't be ignored.
The more he thought about it, the more Seimei felt his preparations were still insufficient.
If possible, he hoped to learn the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.
That way, both his travel and life-saving abilities would be greatly enhanced.
"Flying Thunder God Technique..."
Seimei murmured, starting to think about how he could obtain this technique.
Just because Shiranui Genma, Iwashi Tatami, and Raido Namiashi, three ordinary Konoha ninja, could learn this technique later on, didn't mean anyone could learn it.
In reality, as an S-rank forbidden technique recorded in the Sealed Book, the Flying Thunder God Technique is not something that just anyone can access.
As long as Hiruzen Sarutobi is still in charge of Konoha, Seimei estimates that even if his merits are sufficient, Hiruzen wouldn't grant him the qualification to learn this technique.
After all, Hiruzen is also very wary of the Uchiha clan, otherwise he wouldn't have tacitly allowed Danzo Shimura to do so many things.
Under such circumstances, how could Hiruzen allow him to learn such a highly mobile ninjutsu? Isn't he afraid of being assassinated by him?
"Hiruzen Sarutobi... Danzo Shimura..."
Thinking of these two obstacles, Seimei wished he could immediately kill them.
However, in the end, Seimei calmed down.
Not to mention that his current strength is not yet a match for these two, even if it were, he couldn't do such a thing before the war is over.
At this stage, he still needs a place to stay.
In addition, Seimei doesn't want Konoha to become the loser of this Ninja World War.
If that happens, it wouldn't be a good thing for him either.
