"Panel!" With a thought, Seimei opened his proficiency panel. The familiar light blue screen appeared: [Name: Uchiha Seimei Age: 11 years old Physique: 7 Spirit: 9 Chakra: 1150 (4074 → 5026) Bloodline: Sharingan - Single Tomoe (69/1000) → (112/1000) Skills: Chakra Refinement Technique: lv3 (454/1000) → lv3 (664/1000) Fire Style - Great Fireball Technique: lv1 (50/200) → lv2 (11/500) Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique: lv1 (5/200) → lv2 (7/500) Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique: lv1 (1/200) → lv2 (2/500) Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique: lv1 (1/200) → lv1 (105/200) Body Flicker Technique: lv2 (15/500) → lv2 (234/500) *Shadow Clone Technique: lv0 (5/100) Heart Reflection Technique: lv3 (875/1000) → Lv4 (6/2000) Shuriken Throwing: lv3 (60/1000) → lv3 (210/1000) Chakra Control: lv3 (102/1000) → lv3 (131/1000) Three Body Techniques: lv3 (0/0) Basic Taijutsu: lv3 (0/0)] Skipping over the basic attributes, Seimei looked directly at the Bloodline section. As expected, his Sharingan's proficiency had indeed increased by one point. Then he looked at the 'Heart Reflection Technique' - Lv4 (6/2000)! This meant that just five proficiency points in the 'Heart Reflection Technique' had increased his Sharingan's proficiency by one point, doubling the effect compared to when it was at lv3. Confirming this, Seimei let out a long sigh of relief. Just as he had predicted, as the 'Heart Reflection Technique' leveled up, its effectiveness in promoting Sharingan evolution was gradually increasing. This meant that he could use less chakra in the future to achieve greater progress. Previously, when he needed ten proficiency points, it would consume a whopping 1700 chakra points, but now... It only required 850 points! Although it still couldn't compare to the 300 points for passively accumulating time with his eyes open, it was much better than when it was at lv3. In the future, even if he couldn't casually reveal his Sharingan, he wouldn't have to worry about its evolution speed. The only pity was that since his chakra limit reached 5026 points a week ago, practicing the 'Chakra Refinement Technique' no longer increased this value. Based on past experience, Seimei knew that this meant his potential had been fully tapped. From now on, if his basic attributes didn't increase, his chakra limit could only grow gradually over time. This dashed his hopes of recklessly consuming chakra to perform the 'Heart Reflection Technique' and accelerate his Sharingan's evolution. However, Seimei wasn't too disappointed about this. Because even without this limit, he couldn't use chakra recklessly. Limited by the level of the 'Chakra Refinement Technique' and his own talent, even with sufficient nutrients, the amount of chakra he could use each day at this stage was only around 3500 points. Under these circumstances, even if he wanted to squander it, there wasn't much extra chakra for him to squander. Moreover, he had to reserve enough chakra for emergencies. So, it was even more impossible to consume it casually. Pulling his thoughts back, Seimei looked at the other skills in the skill list. Thanks to the relaxed environment in the first half month after arriving at the camp, he almost exhausted his chakra every day, using all his spare time to train. In the end, after spending over 46,000 chakra points, he successfully raised the 'Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique', 'Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique', and 'Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique' to lv2. Now, when using these techniques, not only was the casting speed faster, but he could also adjust the power of the techniques over a wider range. At this point, he had initially achieved his goal of increasing his combat power. In the following half month, due to the increased difficulty of missions, the time he could train each day and the chakra he could use were both reduced. Therefore, the 'Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique' didn't reach lv2 as he had hoped. Its current progress was just barely past halfway through lv1. Of course, if he had invested all his chakra into it, he could have promoted it to lv2. But considering the Sharingan's evolution, a large portion of his chakra was used to increase the proficiency of the 'Heart Reflection Technique'. Besides that, raising the 'Body Flicker Technique' from lv2 (15/500) to lv2 (234/500) also consumed a lot of chakra. That's why his 'Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique' hadn't leveled up. However, this wasn't important. Because at this stage, he didn't plan to reveal his Sharingan at all. And this technique had to be used in conjunction with the Sharingan to unleash its full power, so whether it leveled up or not wasn't crucial. For surprise attacks, lv1 was sufficient. Of course, if he had extra chakra, he wouldn't hesitate to invest in it. After all, the higher its level, the better the effect, and the harder it would be for enemies to counter. In the long run, the Sharingan would definitely be the core of his abilities, so the corresponding skills couldn't be neglected. Therefore, investing chakra in it wouldn't be a loss in any way. Nodding to himself, Seimei turned his attention to the 'Shuriken Throwing' and 'Chakra Control' skills. Originally, the proficiency of these two skills barely moved after reaching lv3. But since he awakened the Sharingan, their proficiency started to increase again. Especially 'Shuriken Throwing', with the Sharingan's assistance, its progress was incredibly fast. He only occasionally practiced in secluded corners, and its proficiency increased from lv3 (60/1000) to lv3 (210/1000), with the progress bar already one-fifth full. Now, in terms of shuriken throwing alone, he was already among the best. The kunais and shuriken he threw could pose a considerable threat to ninja of similar strength. Of course, it was wishful thinking to kill an opponent with just this one skill. Only when he raised 'Shuriken Throwing' to Lv4 and then used the Sharingan's assistance would there be a slight chance. But it was just a slight chance. Ninja with comparable combat power to him would definitely have a few tricks up their sleeves. It was too difficult to kill them with just ninja tools. Shaking his head, Seimei finally looked at the newly added 'Shadow Clone Technique'. He could see that its proficiency was only at lv0 (5/100). Obviously, he had only tried it a few times before giving up. The reason for this was simple: practicing this technique consumed too much chakra. Take creating one shadow clone as an example. Even if he did nothing and immediately dispelled the shadow clone after casting it, the chakra allocated to the shadow clone would still lose ten percent. What did this mean? If he had 5000 chakra points and used the 'Shadow Clone Technique' to create one shadow clone, the original body and the clone would each receive 2500 chakra points. At this point, even if he did nothing and immediately dispelled the 'Shadow Clone Technique'... The 2500 chakra points in the shadow clone would lose 250 points when returning to his body. And this was just for one shadow clone. If he increased it to four, the original body and each clone would receive 1000 chakra points. After dispelling the shadow clones, he would lose 400 chakra points, which was one-tenth of each shadow clone's chakra. In other words, the more shadow clones he created, the more chakra he would lose each time. Even if he used the minimum standard, creating one shadow clone to gain proficiency in the 'Shadow Clone Technique', it would still cost 250 chakra points each time. How could Seimei bear to do that? So, after practicing a few times, he gave up. He would wait until he had ample chakra before practicing again. Anyway, he currently had more time than chakra and didn't need shadow clones to help him gain proficiency, so there was no need to rush to learn this technique.
