Refocusing his thoughts, Seimei pushed aside unnecessary distractions and directed his attention back to the system interface.

His age, displayed on the panel, had changed from 12 to 13 years. According to the memories of this body, today—January 5—was indeed his birthday.

In other words, he was still just a "little kid."

However, due to his immense strength and the long-term use of Mythical Palm Technique to enhance his physique, he appeared more mature than his peers. This often caused people to overlook his age.

Not that Seimei cared; he had no plans to celebrate his birthday anyway.

Continuing to scan the interface, Seimei's gaze landed on the Chakra panel.

After nearly two months of focused effort, his Chakra reserves had increased from 149,236 to 176,308 points—a solid "seventeen-card" level.

Frankly, this amount of Chakra was already substantial, but Seimei still felt dissatisfied.

The problem was his theoretical Chakra capacity, which had reached a staggering 750,000 points.

Yet his actual reserves?

Only 176,308 points.

That wasn't even a quarter of his theoretical limit, and the progress felt painfully slow.

Moreover, the evolution of his Sharingan had reached (24,512/50,000).

At the current accumulation rate of 96 points per day, it would take another two months to reach the (30,000/50,000) threshold.

At that point, his spiritual attribute would likely improve further due to feedback from the Sharingan, enhancing his potential and raising his theoretical Chakra capacity.

The same went for his physical attribute. Closing his eyes, Seimei repeatedly used the Mythical Palm Technique to evaluate its current impact on him.

Eventually, he concluded that maintaining the current frequency of enhancement would bring his body to the next transformation threshold in about three months.

In other words, one month after improving his spiritual attribute, his physical attribute would also increase.

When that happened, his theoretical Chakra capacity would skyrocket.

If he didn't accelerate his potential development, he would eventually accumulate untapped reserves within his body, unable to utilize them.

This was something Seimei absolutely could not tolerate.

Thus, he had to expedite the process of unlocking his potential.

This primarily depended on the level of his Chakra Refinement Technique.

Currently, at Level 5, the Chakra Refinement Technique increased his Chakra limit by 32 points for every hour of operation, totaling 640 points with 20 hours of daily use.

This rate remained steady.

To accelerate the process, he needed to level up the Chakra Refinement Technique.

However, leveling it up was no simple task. Each point of mastery required an hour of operation, and his body could only handle a maximum of 20 hours per day.

Compounding the issue, shadow clones couldn't assist in refining Chakra, meaning he could only gain 20 mastery points daily.

This rate was excruciatingly slow.

Initially, Seimei had felt "despair."

Fortunately, after consistent effort over time, he had accumulated enough progress to reach Level 5 (4,728/5,000), with Level 6 now within sight.

After some quick calculations, Seimei estimated that he could level up in about 19 days.

This gave him a glimmer of hope.

He only hoped that the improvement after the next upgrade would be significant.

Shifting his focus away from the Chakra Refinement Technique, Seimei examined his other skills.

In addition to skills like Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere, Vacuum Blade, Wind Devourer, and Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave, the others he had prioritized had also made significant progress.

For example, the S-rank forbidden technique Wind Release: Rasenshuriken had leveled up from Level 7 (10,211/20,000) to Level 8 (9,011/50,000).

However, advancing further would be difficult.

At the current rate of investing 60,000 Chakra points per day, it would take over three months to accumulate the required 40,000 mastery points for the next level.

After some consideration, Seimei decided to allocate additional resources if he had surplus Chakra in the future.

As a trump card, an S-rank forbidden technique was worth leveling as much as possible.

It was worth noting, though, that even at Level 8, he still couldn't use the Rasenshuriken as a ranged technique.

In other words, it remained a "mutually destructive" move—hurting the enemy but also harming the user.

This limitation made it unsuitable for casual use in combat.

Fortunately, Seimei's Shadow Clone Technique was advanced enough that his clones were stable and usable for training.

Shaking his head, Seimei turned his attention to Fire Release: Dragon Flame Jutsu and Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique.

Like the Rasenshuriken, these had also gained a level.

The former had gone from Level 5 (4,290/5,000) to Level 6 (8,220/10,000), nearing the threshold for Level 7. At the current investment of 19,000 Chakra points per day (yielding 190 mastery points), it would only take 8–9 days to level up.

The latter, meanwhile, had advanced from Level 7 (14,380/20,000) to Level 8 (12,240/50,000), still far from the next level.

Finally, Seimei examined the remaining skills: Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu, Rasengan, Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu, and Chakra Cloak.

Among these, Rasengan stood out with substantial progress, advancing from Level 8 (13,000/50,000) to Level 8 (38,380/50,000).

As an A-rank skill, its maximum level was 9, and it was on the brink of reaching that limit.

Unlike Mythical Palm Technique, which was more utility-focused, Rasengan was a combat-oriented jutsu. Once mastered, it would undoubtedly enhance his strength.

This milestone was only about 20 days away.

As for Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu, it would take about a month to reach Level 8, with Level 9 still far off.

"Ah, step by step," Seimei muttered, shifting his focus to Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu and Chakra Cloak.

These A-rank jutsu, once the war ended and external Chakra sources dried up, would inevitably slow down in progress. At that point, he would need to allocate more resources to them.

Beyond these prioritized skills, Seimei also had his eye on Chakra Absorption Jutsu.

After testing its effects on the Six-Tails, he had been working on refining it.

Through repeated experimentation on Mist Ninja, he had made decent progress, with mastery reaching Level 6 (8,200/10,000).

He estimated that once it hit Level 7 and underwent a qualitative change, it would finally achieve the desired effect.

Finally, Seimei examined Guardian Seal and Object-Sealing Array.

These skills, receiving 5,000 and 4,000 Chakra points daily, had made limited progress, advancing by only one level over a month and a half.

But Seimei's approach to these skills was practical—"good enough" sufficed, so he had no plans to increase their investment for now.
