Chapter 111: Redistribution

The next day.

Early morning.

Seimei woke up from his sleep with a start.

After a moment of confusion, he abruptly sat up and rushed to the deepest part of the cave.

Seeing that all seven Suna shinobi were still there, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Honestly, even though they had lost the ability to perform hand seals, Seimei was still a bit uneasy about imprisoning these people here.

But he had no other choice. The best way to control these people was undoubtedly through genjutsu, followed by various sealing techniques.

However...

For the former, his genjutsu skills were not sufficient, and his two-tomoe Sharingan didn't support such actions.

For the latter, the required sealing and curse techniques were not something he could obtain.

Moreover, whether it was the former or the latter, their essence was to interfere with the target's chakra, thereby achieving the effect of restricting their actions.

But he needed these people to refine chakra, and using these methods to restrict them would undoubtedly be counterproductive.

Therefore, he could only resort to strict supervision to prevent them from engaging in any mischief.

Fortunately, he had the Sharingan, and ordinary tricks couldn't escape his notice.

However, thinking about how he had slept soundly last night, Seimei couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. It was fortunate that nothing had happened; otherwise, he would have regretted it to death.

"Sigh, I can't push myself so hard in the future!"

Mumbling to himself, Seimei went to one of the Suna shinobi and directly tested the effects of the lv4 'Chakra Absorption Technique'.

A moment later, he withdrew his hand, a "just as I expected" expression on his face.

Indeed, as he had anticipated, after the 'Chakra Absorption Technique' reached lv4, the conversion rate increased once again, and it was still by 10%.

In other words, now when he used the 'Chakra Absorption Technique', he could convert 80% of the extracted chakra into his own.

Undoubtedly, this was another significant improvement.

Moreover, after reaching lv4, the speed at which the 'Chakra Absorption Technique' extracted chakra from the target also increased, directly from three hundred points per second to five hundred points per second.

This was already quite impressive!

If an average Chunin were caught by him, it would only take five or six seconds to drain their chakra.

Of course, this was assuming he used this technique.

Shaking his head, Seimei stopped dwelling on it. He created a shadow clone to continue guarding these people and then quickly left the cave space.

Quietly returning to the base, Seimei received the memories of this period from his shadow clone.

Then, he started carrying out his patrol duties according to plan.

At the same time, he was also thinking about how to allocate this extra chakra he had obtained.

Based on yesterday's extraction results, the seven people in the cave space could provide him with approximately thirty-three thousand chakra points per day.

With an 80% conversion rate, that was twenty-six thousand four hundred points.

This chakra definitely couldn't be used solely on one skill.

After pondering for a long time, Seimei finally decided to allocate it in the same way as he had allocated Chiya's chakra before.

He would divide this chakra in a 2:1 ratio, using it for practicing the 'Mind Reflection Technique' and the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique', respectively.

In other words, seventeen thousand six hundred points would be allocated to the 'Mind Reflection Technique', and eight thousand eight hundred points to the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique'.

The minimum chakra consumption to gain proficiency with the 'Mind Reflection Technique', after the 18% reduction from 'Chakra Control', was one hundred sixty-four points.

Seventeen thousand six hundred points could allow him to gain an additional one hundred seven proficiency points.

So, adding in the thirty proficiency points for the 'Mind Reflection Technique' that he could obtain from his own chakra, that was one hundred thirty-seven points.

These proficiency points could increase his Sharingan's evolution progress by forty-five points, plus the three evolution points he could gain from keeping his Sharingan activated, that was forty-eight points.

Currently, his Sharingan's evolution progress was (800/5000).

Based on this calculation, it would only take about three months for his Sharingan to evolve into three tomoe.

And before that, his 'Mind Reflection Technique' would first reach Lv6, and its effects would undoubtedly be greatly enhanced by then.

In other words, the time it took for his Sharingan to evolve into three tomoe would definitely be less than three months.

It might even be far less than three months.

Calculating this, Seimei couldn't help but feel fortunate for his wise choices in the past.

If it weren't for the 'Chakra Absorption Technique', who knows how long it would take for his Sharingan to evolve!

And there was also the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique'...

Gaining one proficiency point for it consumed half the chakra of the 'Mind Reflection Technique', and the chakra allocated to it was also half of that for the 'Mind Reflection Technique'.

Therefore, it could also gain one hundred seven proficiency points per day.

Adding in the sixteen proficiency points that could be obtained from his own chakra, that was one hundred twenty-three points.

At this rate, it would take no more than two weeks at the latest for his 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique' to level up and reach perfection.

By then, he should be able to fully master the Shape and Nature Transformations of Fire Release chakra.

Once he confirmed this, he could start developing his second chakra nature and, along the way, increase the levels of the 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique' and the 'Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique'.

With the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique' as a precedent, he believed this process wouldn't be too slow.

...

In the blink of an eye, a day passed.

After the patrol mission ended and he handed over duties to the night shift team, Seimei began his own training.

He repeatedly performed the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique', rapidly consuming the chakra within his body.

An hour later.

Night fell.

By this time, Seimei had almost exhausted the chakra within his body.

So, he found a secluded spot and used the 'Shadow Clone Technique' to create a shadow clone.

Looking at the clone, Seimei said directly, "You stay here from now on."

"Okay!"

Hearing this, the shadow clone responded softly and then returned to the base.

Seimei, alone, avoided the sight of others and arrived at the entrance of the underground cave. After looking around and confirming no one was there, he carefully pushed aside the weeds and jumped in.

Compared to yesterday, there was still no change here.

Seimei received the relevant memories from his shadow clone and, after confirming there were no issues, went to the depths of the cave and started extracting chakra from the Suna shinobi.

Once his own chakra was full, he returned to the room his shadow clone had prepared and quickly began practicing the 'Mind Reflection Technique'.

In this way, Seimei carried out missions during the day and practiced ninjutsu that required more movement, like the 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique'.

At night, he would quietly return to the cave space and use the extra chakra provided by the Suna shinobi to practice skills that didn't require much movement, like the 'Mind Reflection Technique'.

Although every day was quite busy, when he saw the rapidly increasing proficiency behind each skill on the panel, he felt that his efforts were not in vain.

This kind of thing, where effort yielded rewards, brought unparalleled positive feedback.

Therefore, even though he could only sleep for four or five hours a day, Seimei still enjoyed it.
