Chapter 49 Unexpected Joy

Clang clang~

About two kilometers southwest of the small town stronghold, in a dense forest, Seimei was fighting with Furukawa with a short blade in his hand.

Kunai and short swords constantly collided, making crisp clashing sounds. The two exchanged blows, and the fight was intense.

This was already the eleventh day of their rotation mission.

In the past ten days, they hadn't encountered any major dangers, and the few battles with the enemy were all minor skirmishes, not worth mentioning.

Seimei could clearly feel that the ninjas in the Iwagakure stronghold further north, who were confronting them, were very restrained.

They could even be described as cowardly.

These people didn't entangle with them at all, and their missions were mainly surveillance. As soon as they were discovered, they would immediately retreat.

As for the reason for this, Seimei guessed that they should be worried about Konoha's retaliation.

After all, after causing trouble twice, Konoha would definitely retaliate.

Under such circumstances, their main focus should be on preventing Konoha's surprise attack, so the front line would behave so restrained.

Seimei was happy to see this. What was the point of fighting to the death? It was better to practice hard with this time and energy!

Just like now, with Furukawa's sparring, his 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' was improving rapidly and was about to break through lv2.

After another ten minutes, Furukawa stopped attacking, put away his kunai, retreated to create distance, looked at Seimei, and said, "Okay, let's stop here today."

"Thank you for your guidance, sensei."

Hearing this, Seimei bowed slightly and thanked him.

"Hmm."

Furukawa nodded and continued, "Your swordsmanship has almost reached the limit of the current stage. To break through the current bottleneck, you still need to carefully hone it for a period of time."

Hearing this, Seimei opened the panel and glanced at it - Konoha-Style Kenjutsu: lv2 (497/500)!

In this case, he only needed to practice a few more times and accumulate three proficiency points, and his 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' could break through the current limit and reach lv3.

'Bottleneck?'

'Doesn't exist!'

However, although he thought so in his heart, Seimei didn't show it on his face, but echoed and replied: "Yes, sensei, I understand."

After saying that, he began to practice on his own.

On the side, Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko were originally planning to rest for a while, but after seeing Seimei working so hard, they didn't rest anymore and immediately got up to continue their training.

Seeing this scene, Furukawa smiled without saying a word.

He knew the talents of Ryosuke and Mizutani Shizuko. Although they were a bit stronger than ordinary people, they definitely didn't reach the level of geniuses.

But because of Seimei's presence, these two trained very hard, and the speed of their strength improvement was no less than that of some genius ninjas.

In just over four months after graduation, their strength had reached the level of some Chuunin.

This was the power of a role model.

...

An hour later.

It was nearing evening.

Seimei, who was practicing swordsmanship, suddenly stopped, then put away his sword and stood still, closing his eyes and silently feeling the changes in his body.

Just now, his 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' finally accumulated enough three proficiency points, and was promoted from lv2 (497/500) to lv3 (1/1000).

At the same time, a warm current emerged from the depths of his bone marrow, and quickly flowed throughout his body through blood vessels and meridians, nourishing every cell in his body.

This feeling was not unfamiliar to Seimei. When his 'Basic Taijutsu' was upgraded from lv1 to lv2, which led to an increase in his physique attribute, he had experienced it once.

Now that this situation reappeared, it was obvious that his physique attribute was going to improve again.

A moment later, the warm current disappeared.

Seimei opened the panel and glanced at it. As expected, his physique attribute had changed from the previous seven points to the current eight points.

Following that, a sense of ease as if shackles had been unlocked arose spontaneously.

Seimei was certain that if he practiced the 'Chakra Refinement Technique' at this time, his chakra limit would definitely be improved. This was the result of breaking through the physical limitations and increasing potential.

Originally, Seimei thought he had to wait until the Sharingan evolved again.

Unexpectedly, 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' gave him an unexpected surprise.

But thinking about it, 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' originally contained the element of 'body forging'. Since 'Basic Taijutsu' could guide the body's evolution, there was no reason why the higher-level 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' couldn't.

Of course, the main force that promoted his physical evolution was the foundation he had accumulated through years of hard training.

Whether it was 'Basic Taijutsu' or 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu', they were just a trigger.

If he wanted to continue improving in the future, he had to train hard.

In addition, with this breakthrough, the evolution speed of his Sharingan should be able to speed up a bit more.

However, whether it was as he expected, he still had to test it in detail.

While Seimei was pondering, Furukawa suddenly appeared on the field and said, "Okay, it's almost time, we should go back."

Hearing this, Seimei and the others packed up and followed Furukawa back to the small town.

...

That night.

In the room.

Seimei sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated, refining chakra.

After a long time, Seimei opened his eyes and glanced at the panel.

As he expected, with the breakthrough of his physique attribute, his body's potential increased once again, and the amount of chakra he could accommodate also increased.

After a long time, he once again saw the scene of his chakra limit rapidly increasing.

If it was just this, it wouldn't be able to speed up the evolution of his Sharingan.

Because as long as the amount of chakra he could use every day didn't increase, the evolution speed of the Sharingan couldn't be improved.

Now it depended on whether the physique attribute changing from seven points to eight points could allow him to break through the limit of using a maximum of 3,500 chakra points per day.

With this thought, Seimei closed his eyes again.

...

Three days later.

After a series of tests, Seimei could confirm that the breakthrough of his physique attribute from seven points to eight points did allow him to break the limit of using a maximum of 3,500 chakra points per day.

Now, this number had changed from 3,500 to 4,200.

Although it was only an increase of 700 points, when used on the 'Heart Reflection Technique', it was four proficiency points.

And five proficiency points could increase the evolution progress of his Sharingan by one point.

In other words, in the future, his Sharingan could gain four more proficiency points every five days, which was already a considerable improvement.

And this was just the most direct increase.

With the improvement of his physique attribute, the time his body could withstand practicing the 'Chakra Refinement Technique' every day would also increase.

In this way, under the same conditions, his 'Chakra Refinement Technique' would inevitably be promoted to lv4 at a faster speed.

At that time, the amount of chakra that could be used daily would further increase, followed by the improvement of the Sharingan's evolution speed.

This was the so-called "one step ahead, step by step ahead".

As long as Seimei did his best in every aspect, he could maximize the speed of the Sharingan's evolution.
