Chapter 678 - Chapter 676: Transformation  

For the next three days, Seimei's life followed a strict routine. 

Early each morning, he would leave the village and head to a remote island. 

Once there, he created shadow clones, assigning each one to train in specific techniques according to his plan: 

Wind Release: Rasenshuriken Shadow Shuriken Technique Lightning Release: Thunder Blade Shadow Sword Technique Genjutsu: Dark Bringer Technique Temple of Nirvana Technique Earth Release: Earth Flow River Earth Release: Headhunter Technique 

The duration of this process depended on the amount of chakra invested and the time required for each technique, ranging from half a day to an entire day. 

During training, he absorbed the clones' experiences and memories every hour, converting them into mastery of the respective skills. 

Meanwhile, his real body was far from idle. Seimei continuously practiced the Reflection Technique and the Mystical Palm Technique, aiming to enhance the evolution of his Sharingan while simultaneously strengthening his body. 

The former progressed steadily, as usual. The latter, however, was undergoing constant refinement. 

After three days of improvements, the efficiency of his body-strengthening process had increased from an initial 10% boost to 20%. But the difficulty of further optimization grew exponentially. 

While three days of effort had yielded a 10% improvement, future gains might take ten days or even half a month. 

Fortunately, Seimei wasn't in a rush. His goal was to increase this efficiency by 50% during the next stage of enhancement, which would save one-third of the required time. 

In addition to honing these techniques, he practiced Multiple Shadow Clone Technique each evening before returning to the village. Once back, he would train for another hour or two to wrap up the day. 

His days were busy but fulfilling. 

Yet, this routine left certain people keeping tabs on him feeling uneasy. 

"You haven't even cleared your name from the elder assassination incident, and now you're acting as if nothing happened, going in and out of the village every day like it's no big deal. How disrespectful!" 

But their grievances held no sway over Seimei. 

In truth, he didn't even notice their resentment. His full attention was on his soon-to-transform body. 

Indeed, after three days of intense training, his body was nearing its critical point. 

Seimei estimated that within half a day, he would reach the threshold. 

When that moment came, he planned to utilize the Power of Humanity to forcibly break through the invisible barrier, allowing his body to evolve once more. 

"Almost there..." 

Lying in his bed, Seimei murmured softly as he felt his body's subtle swelling sensation. Soon after, he fell into a deep sleep. 

The Next Day 

At dawn, Seimei had breakfast and left the village as usual. 

Thanks to the Wind Release: Wind Wings, which allowed him to fly at a maximum speed of 300 meters per second, it took him less than an hour to travel from the Fire Country's central region, where Konoha was located, to the southern seas and reach the island. 

After circling the island a few times, he deactivated the Guardian Seal on his forehead, activated the Byakugan, and confirmed there were no people nearby. Only then did he land. 

Without wasting a moment, he created eight shadow clones to begin the day's training. 

As the training progressed, his body edged closer to its limit. 

Finally, just before noon, Seimei's body reached its peak. 

An invisible barrier now blocked his progress, rendering his Mystical Palm Technique ineffective in enhancing his physical strength. 

If his physique had been below 20 points before, he could have slowly ground past the bottleneck. But now, such an approach no longer worked. 

No matter how hard he tried, breaking through was impossible without external help. 

Thankfully, he had the Power of Humanity, a divine technique to assist him in shattering this intangible barrier. 

Even so, there was no need to rush. 

First, Seimei recalled all his shadow clones, absorbing their accumulated training experiences and memories, converting them into mastery of their respective techniques. 

Next, he retrieved a few soldier pills from his ninja pouch, chewed them briefly, and swallowed them. 

Taking advantage of the pills' effects, he adjusted his state. 

Before attempting the breakthrough, he needed to reach peak condition. Doing so would not only make the process smoother but also save a significant amount of time. 

The saying "sharpening the axe does not delay the chopping of wood" aptly applied here. 

Half an hour passed swiftly. 

Overhead, the sun reached its zenith. 

At a certain moment, Seimei, who had been meditating cross-legged, opened his eyes. 

With no hesitation, he immediately activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, followed by unleashing the ocular technique residing in his right eye—"Dominion of Man"! 

In an instant, an invisible force took hold of him, elevating his control over his own body to an extraordinary level. 

Faintly, he even began to feel as if he had gained a new ability called "Inner Vision." 

However, this was merely an illusion. 

In reality, his perception hadn't reached such a level, but Seimei felt that this could be a potential direction for his evolution. 

After all, even the Byakugan could only see through surfaces but couldn't truly comprehend every detail of the human body. 

If he could achieve something akin to the "Inner Vision" often described in cultivation novels, it would greatly facilitate not only the refinement of his "Healing Palm Technique" but also the development of other abilities. 

Shaking his head to dispel the stray thoughts, Seimei raised his hands to form seals, executing the "Healing Palm Technique." 

A burst of Yang Release chakra was gathered and injected into his body, beginning to strengthen his cells and organs. 

With "Dominion of Man" guiding the process, this time the enhancement finally yielded tangible results. 

Though he still hadn't broken through that bottleneck, Seimei clearly felt significant progress. 

Additionally, as the evolution of his Sharingan approached the (40,000/50,000) threshold, the duration of a single "Dominion of Man" activation gradually increased, now nearly reaching fifty seconds. 

This duration was almost enough to completely cover one full cycle of the "Healing Palm Technique" enhancement. 

Such uninterrupted reinforcement naturally produced better results. 

Before long, the first cycle was complete. 

After a brief rest to let his eyes recover, Seimei raised his hands again to form seals, activating the "Healing Palm Technique" once more, along with "Dominion of Man." 

And so, cycle after cycle continued. 

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes had passed. 

During the sixth execution of the "Healing Palm Technique," the barrier that had been restricting his body's further growth silently dissipated. 

Seimei once again felt the space for advancement opening up. 

A surge of joy arose from within him, making him want to cry out in exhilaration. 

However, in the end, he did not make a sound. 

Why? Because at that moment, he was completely immersed in the euphoric sensation of his body undergoing a profound transformation.
