That night.
Fuuryu Town.
Within the base.
Seimei once again completed a practice session of the "Mystical Palm Technique."
Suddenly, a sense of enlightenment surfaced in his heart.
At this moment, Seimei felt he had a deeper understanding of the "Mystical Palm Technique."
This familiar feeling let Seimei know that his "Mystical Palm Technique" should have leveled up.
Immediately, he opened the panel and glanced at it.
Sure enough, on the panel, his "Mystical Palm Technique" had already risen from lv6 to lv7.
This was the second skill after the "Mind Reflection Technique" that he had raised to lv7, and its effect had directly increased significantly compared to lv6.
Seimei estimated that there were probably few people in the ninja world who could use the "Mystical Palm Technique" better than him.
Now, if Seimei were to treat some external injuries, as long as they were not too severe, he could easily heal them.
Moreover, it wouldn't consume too much of the target's lifespan.
One must know that most medical ninjutsu, including the "Mystical Palm Technique," healed injuries by stimulating cell division in the target.
However, the number of times human cells can divide was limited. Excessive stimulation would deplete the lifespan of those cells and ultimately affect the lifespan of the human body itself.
But after his "Mystical Palm Technique" reached lv7, this problem was improved.
It wasn't that the lv7 "Mystical Palm Technique" could increase the number of cell divisions.
Rather, it could achieve the best healing effect after each cell division by consuming more chakra.
In this way, it naturally reduced the number of cell divisions needed to heal injuries, and naturally also reduced the consumption of lifespan.
And this was just the improvement in healing effects.
In addition, the body strengthening effect that he valued was also enhanced.
With a thought, Seimei formed hand seals and once again used the "Mystical Palm Technique."
Immediately, he clearly felt that the Yang Release chakra he condensed this time was much purer than before.
Seimei controlled this chakra to wander within his body, following the chakra pathways, permeating every tissue and organ.
Suddenly, a refreshing feeling came, making Seimei couldn't help but let out a moan.
Three minutes later, Seimei opened his eyes.
He secretly estimated...
With about eight thousand more enhancements like this, his body should be able to accumulate enough foundation to undergo a transformation.
Each use of the "Mystical Palm Technique" required 150 chakra points, and eight thousand times was 1.2 million points.
Now, he could recover 42,000 chakra points per day.
That was to say, even without additional chakra supplements, it would only take less than a month for his body to complete its evolution.
At that time, his "Physique" attribute would increase from 13 points to 14 points, and he could try to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.
And if he could obtain some additional chakra, this time would be further shortened.
Thinking of this, Seimei's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement. He wished he could immediately find a few Iwa ninjas and drain their chakra.
"Calm down! Calm down!"
*Slap~ Slap~*
Seimei patted his cheeks, forcing himself to calm down.
Although the prospect of capturing Iwa ninjas was tempting, let alone whether the timing was right or not, even if he immediately obtained 1.2 million chakra points now, it would be useless.
Because he needed time to digest it.
Seimei calculated that at a frequency of once every three minutes, and resting for four hours a day, it would take him at least twenty days to complete the evolution.
In this case, he would consume 60,000 chakra points per day. Subtracting the 42,000 points he recovered on his own, he would need to supplement about 18,000 points additionally.
Although this number was not small, it wasn't too big either.
So, there was absolutely no need for him to rush.
Moreover, soon, he would have to carry out the mission of infiltrating the enemy camp. Where would he have the time to capture any Iwa ninjas?
These matters could only be postponed.
...
Another two hours passed in a flash.
It was late at night.
With a sharp whistle, the entire Fuuryu Town came alive again.
A group of Konoha ninjas walked out of their houses with tired faces, numbly gathering, then numbly heading outside the town to engage in a deadly battle with the Iwa ninjas in the darkness.
This was the Iwa ninjas' strategy!
They relied on their numerical advantage to take turns attacking, launching raids on Fuuryu Town almost day and night, wearing down the Konoha ninjas' will.
Although this tactic of attrition was simple, it was very effective.
The Iwa ninjas had been using it for the past two days.
And today, Seimei was waiting for this very moment.
He checked his equipment one last time, making sure he had everything, especially Minato's special kunai. Then, he followed the flow and appeared somewhere outside the town.
A moment later, three more figures approached.
These were his teammates for this mission: two special Jonin skilled in stealth and assassination, and a Hyuga clan reconnaissance ninja.
Seimei nodded to the three of them, then, according to the plan, headed towards the Iwa camp in the east.
The three of them quickly followed.
...
An hour later.
Seimei and his group of four arrived not far from the Iwa camp.
With his Sharingan and the Hyuga's Byakugan, they avoided many dangers and traps along the way and finally arrived here safely.
Next, it was up to them to perform.
Seimei carefully observed the camp in the distance for a while and found that the Iwa ninjas' defense was very tight. It was basically impossible to infiltrate easily.
So, he gestured to the Hyuga ninja beside him, signaling her to start looking for an opportunity to infiltrate.
Seeing his gesture, Hyuga Hikari nodded, then put her hands together in front of her chest, concentrated, and suddenly activated her Byakugan.
In an instant, everything in front of her was reflected in her eyes.
Hyuga Hikari began to carefully observe the distribution of the Iwa ninjas' defensive forces and the routes of the patrol teams, while also searching for the location of the Iwa command center.
Time passed by.
Soon, fifteen minutes passed.
Hyuga Hikari was still observing the Iwa camp ahead.
The Iwa patrol teams passed by them several times, and although they didn't discover them, it made the other two people in the team a little anxious.
Noticing their slightly rapid breathing, Seimei immediately gestured, signaling them to restrain their aura and remain quiet.
Seeing Seimei's gesture, the two realized they were a bit out of line, so they quickly restrained their aura and continued to wait patiently.
Another fifteen minutes later.
Just after another Iwa team passed not far in front of them, Hyuga Hikari finally withdrew her gaze and deactivated her Byakugan.
Seeing this, Seimei immediately looked at her inquiringly.
Seeing Seimei's gaze, Hyuga Hikari nodded confidently.
Then, she gestured again, saying she needed to rest for a few minutes.
Seimei looked at the slight sweat on her forehead and understood that she had been activating her Byakugan for a long time and couldn't hold on anymore.
So, he agreed to her proposal.
They would still need her Byakugan to infiltrate the Iwa camp later, so she needed to recover.
