"Captain!" Seeing that the Iwa jonin was almost stabbed through the heart by Seimei's sword, several Iwa chunin cried out in alarm and jumped out to join forces against Seimei. However, with just a glance, Seimei knocked down the first Iwa chunin who jumped out. Then, before the chunin could recover from the hypnosis, a shuriken flew over. The shuriken drew a graceful arc in the air and finally accurately pierced the chunin's abdomen, incapacitating them without taking their life. This shocked the other two Iwa chunin, who both stopped in their tracks. "Be careful, don't make eye contact with him!" At this moment, the Iwa jonin spoke. "Hehe~" Hearing this, Seimei chuckled and launched another attack. *Clang clang clang* The crisp sound of metal clashing rang out continuously. Seimei fought against three opponents at once, not giving an inch. No, to be more precise, he was completely overwhelming the three of them. A mere two ordinary chunin, plus a severely injured special jonin, couldn't put any pressure on Seimei. If it weren't for the need to avoid vital points and preserve their lives, Seimei could have ended the battle long ago. However, it was time to end it. Seimei glanced at the deeper part of the forest from the corner of his eye. There, he could vaguely see some bandaged figures approaching, and behind them, even more figures were struggling to get up. Obviously, the groans he had heard earlier were from these wounded. The Iwa jonin and the three Iwa chunin in front of him were their guards. To prevent any accidents, Seimei decided to reveal one of his trump cards and end the battle quickly. *Clang* Another clash between kunai and short sword. Seimei looked at the Iwa jonin who was close at hand and suddenly raised his left hand, completing hand seals with one hand, much to the jonin's shock. 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique~' Seimei opened his mouth and spat out dozens of flames shaped like phoenix sage seeds. The distance was too close. Even though the Iwa jonin sensed something was wrong and retreated instantly, he still couldn't completely dodge. Two flames accurately hit his legs. The intense heat caused him to instantly lose his mobility. Not only him, but the other two Iwa chunin also couldn't escape. Seimei controlled over a dozen flames, cornering them. *Whoosh* *Whoosh* Two shuriken flew out, accurately piercing their abdomens. Again, it didn't take their lives, but it rendered them combat ineffective. At this time, the footsteps of the wounded in the forest were getting closer. Seimei didn't hesitate at all and immediately crossed his hands, performing the 'Shadow Clone Technique'. His figure instantly split into six. Seimei looked at the four newly created shadow clones and said, "I'll leave it to you." "Mm." The shadow clones nodded and then rushed into the forest. With their strength, dealing with those wounded was more than enough. ... Fifteen minutes later. The battle ended. All the captives were knocked unconscious and gathered in one place. Looking at the Iwa ninjas lying on the ground, Seimei couldn't hide the joy on his face anymore. "As expected, coming here was the right choice." Mumbling to himself, Seimei started counting the number of people. After counting, the joy on his face intensified. There were a total of thirty-four captives on the field, the most he had ever captured at once. Among these thirty-four, there was one jonin, twenty-seven chunin, and only six genin. Based on his past experience, if he disregarded their lives and extracted their chakra to the fullest, a genin could provide him with about three thousand chakra points, a chunin between six thousand and ten thousand points, and a jonin generally over fifteen thousand. Although these people were mostly wounded and their chakra wouldn't be particularly abundant, the total amount was still considerable. Seimei did a quick calculation. If he drained all thirty-four of them, he could gain approximately two hundred thousand chakra points. If all this chakra was used to practice the 'Reflecting Heart Technique', he could gain one thousand two hundred and fifty proficiency points. Correspondingly, the evolution progress of his Sharingan would also increase by one thousand two hundred and fifty points. Undoubtedly, this was a massive improvement. However, Seimei couldn't do that. The reason was simple: not enough time. Casting the 'Reflecting Heart Technique' once would last for about a minute. Only after the special chakra in his brain disappeared could he cast it a second time. One thousand two hundred and fifty times meant a full twenty hours. He obviously couldn't stay here for twenty hours. As for how long he could specifically stay... Seimei went straight to the Iwa jonin he had fought with earlier. *Slap* *Slap* Two slaps woke him up. Then, he cast the 'Genjutsu: Sharingan' and guided the jonin to recall relevant information. Soon, Seimei got the answer: at most three hours. After three hours, someone would come to take these wounded away. He had to leave before then. In other words, he had at most three hours to practice the 'Reflecting Heart Technique'. And this was only enough to consume less than thirty thousand chakra points. Of course, Seimei had also thought about using shadow clones to speed things up. But that was useless. The 'Reflecting Heart Technique' directly stimulated the brain to produce a special kind of chakra, thereby promoting the evolution of the Sharingan. Although shadow clones were physical clones, they couldn't complete this step, so using them was pointless. At this moment, Seimei regretted not learning a sealing technique like the 'Yin Seal' that could store chakra! However, regret was useless. Now he could only make do. Although shadow clones couldn't assist him in practicing the 'Reflecting Heart Technique', they could still practice other ninjutsu, even if the efficiency was a bit lower. Proficiency, in the end, was about understanding ninjutsu. These shadow clones didn't have the proficiency panel's assistance, and although they would encounter bottlenecks during their practice, they could still summarize their experiences. As long as he promptly collected these experiences and converted them into proficiency, and then created shadow clones again for a refresh, he could, to some extent, ignore the existence of bottlenecks. This was the solution he came up with after discovering that shadow clones didn't have the proficiency panel. It was just that in the past, chakra wasn't abundant, so there was no need to do this. Now, the situation was special, and he could just experiment. Seimei summoned four shadow clones and had them split into two groups, practicing the 'Genjutsu: Sharingan' and the 'Rasengan' respectively. He himself practiced the 'Reflecting Heart Technique'. As for the last shadow clone, its task was to keep watch. Although Seimei had already extracted information from the Iwa jonin's mind, the situation on the battlefield could change rapidly. No one knew what would happen in the next second. What if the Iwa ninjas responsible for transporting the wounded arrived early? He couldn't be completely unprepared, right? So, vigilance was still very necessary. With everything ready, Seimei didn't waste any more time and immediately used the 'Chakra Absorption Technique' to extract chakra from the Iwa jonin in front of him. Once his chakra was replenished, he quickly entered a Training state. (End of this chapter)
