While practicing the Heart Reflection Technique, Seimei also began to reconsider the allocation of his chakra.
Now that he had mastered the Shadow Clone Technique, the extra two thousand chakra points needed to be reallocated.
As for why he wasn't continuing to practice the Shadow Clone Technique...
There were two reasons. First, the lv1 Shadow Clone Technique was sufficient for now, and there was no need to waste chakra upgrading it further.
Second, during missions, for his own safety, his chakra always operated at a high level. Practicing other skills was fine and wouldn't cause additional consumption.
But the Shadow Clone Technique was different. The shadow clones it created would equally divide the original body's chakra.
At that point, even if he did nothing and immediately dispelled the technique, Seimei wouldn't regain all the chakra. Instead, he would lose ten percent of the chakra from all the shadow clones.
What did this mean?
If Seimei maintained his chakra at around eight thousand points and then used the Shadow Clone Technique to create one shadow clone,
then, upon dispelling it, he would lose ten percent of the shadow clone's chakra, which was four hundred points.
And if he created two shadow clones, this number would become over five hundred.
The more shadow clones he created, the greater the loss.
Undoubtedly, this was unacceptable to Seimei.
Therefore, he could only practice this technique during his rest time when his chakra didn't need to be maintained at a high level.
And for the upcoming period, he would be on missions and definitely wouldn't have the opportunity to cultivate it.
So, these additional two thousand chakra points needed to be reallocated.
After some thought, Seimei decided to use one thousand five hundred of them for practicing the Heart Reflection Technique, which could earn him an extra nine proficiency points.
In this way, combined with the original allocation of three thousand five hundred chakra points for twenty-one proficiency points, that would be thirty proficiency points.
And every three proficiency points in the Heart Reflection Technique could increase his Sharingan's evolution progress by one point, so thirty points meant ten points.
Thus, adding the three evolution points gained from consuming six hundred chakra points to maintain the Sharingan for fifteen hours,
the evolution progress his Sharingan could gain daily would increase to thirteen points.
As for the remaining five hundred chakra points...
Seimei planned to use them on the Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, which could earn him an extra six proficiency points.
Combined with the original allocation of eight hundred and fifty chakra points for ten proficiency points, that would be sixteen points.
Furthermore, the chakra originally allocated to the Body Flicker Technique could also be reallocated now that it had reached perfection. There was no need to continue consuming chakra to practice it.
So, Seimei planned to allocate this chakra to the Chakra Absorption Technique, further accelerating its upgrade speed.
There was also the chakra used for Konoha-Style Kenjutsu, Uchiha-Style Kenjutsu, and Shurikenjutsu.
Seimei planned to allocate all of it to the new skill - Swordsmanship.
This way, he wouldn't have to worry about the Swordsmanship skill lacking chakra.
As for the chakra originally allocated to Genjutsu: Binding Snake Glare Technique, Genjutsu: Sharingan, and Healing Technique, Seimei didn't plan to change it.
So, to summarize...
Out of ten thousand chakra points, five thousand were used for the Heart Reflection Technique, gaining thirty proficiency points daily.
One thousand three hundred were used for the Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, gaining sixteen proficiency points daily.
One thousand seven hundred were equally divided between Genjutsu: Binding Snake Glare Technique and Genjutsu: Sharingan, each gaining ten proficiency points daily.
That accounted for eight thousand chakra points.
Of the remaining two thousand, six hundred were consumed by the Healing Technique, which could gain seven proficiency points daily.
Another six hundred were used to maintain the Sharingan's activation, which could steadily earn him three Sharingan evolution points.
The remaining eight hundred chakra points were shared by the Chakra Absorption Technique and Swordsmanship.
Both of these didn't consume much chakra, and eight hundred chakra points were enough for them to gain twenty proficiency points.
With this, the allocation of ten thousand chakra points was complete.
But this was only one part. There was also the "chakra battery" providing him with chakra.
Seimei planned to invest all this chakra into practicing the Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique and the Heart Reflection Technique.
Only in this way could he achieve the shape and nature transformations of fire-attribute chakra in the shortest time, thereby developing his second chakra nature.
At the same time, it could also allow his Sharingan to evolve faster, reaching the Three Tomoe stage.
With this thought, Seimei turned his head towards the depths of the passage, as if seeing Chiya diligently cultivating in the cavern.
After a long while, Seimei retracted his gaze and continued his own training.
...
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
The "vacation" was over, and it was time to carry out another mission.
This time, his task was still patrolling, and the location was the same area. Most of his teammates were also the same as last time.
This wasn't a coincidence but a deliberate arrangement from above.
The reason was simple: a familiar environment and familiar teammates could allow ninjas to exhibit stronger combat capabilities.
Therefore, generally speaking, ninjas wouldn't receive drastically different missions within a relatively fixed period.
For example, they wouldn't go from a patrol mission to an infiltration and espionage mission in the next instance.
Of course, this wasn't absolute.
Just like when he had just returned to the battlefield a month ago, his first mission was a patrol, but the second one turned into an emergency support order.
However, there were usually only two reasons for such situations to occur...
One was that there weren't enough personnel, and they urgently needed people to fill the gaps. The other was that your abilities were indeed useful, and the higher-ups needed you to solve a problem.
His emergency support mission that time fell into the first category.
At that time, Iwagakure's offensive was fierce, and the main camp couldn't spare any extra personnel for a while, so they could only urgently send him and some ninjas who were resting to the front lines.
The intensity of that battle was still fresh in Seimei's memory.
Fortunately, it only happened once!
Back to the current mission, Seimei glanced at the ninjas in the team and noticed that there were far fewer Genin.
It made sense. The war had been going on for so long; even if there were many Genin, they couldn't withstand such attrition.
And without enough Genin to serve as cannon fodder, Chunin had to fill the gap.
Therefore, it was foreseeable that the battles would become increasingly brutal, and as the backbone of the village, the casualty rate of Chunin would also reach a peak.
And when one side couldn't hold on any longer, the war would probably come to an end.
"Everyone, let's move out!"
While Seimei was pondering, the team leader in front gave the order to depart.
Then, the group started moving forward according to the predetermined route, heading towards their mission location.
