A flurry of thoughts raced through Seimei's mind before he quickly reined them in, setting aside distractions to focus on his other gains.
Yes, beyond the theoretical chakra limit increase, faster chakra recovery, and the boost in three bloodline evolution degrees, this physical transformation had brought him additional benefits.
For instance, his body's capacity to withstand pressure had improved.
Seimei could clearly sense that his Sharingan and Byakugan could now handle much more chakra stimulation.
However, to determine exactly how much stronger they'd become, he'd need to conduct more thorough tests.
With that thought, Seimei extended his mental energy to check the chakra stored in the interdimensional space within his forehead. Scattered and fragmented, it held over ten million points of chakra.
That was more than enough for his tests.
Wasting no time, Seimei raised his hands to form seals, casting the "Heart Reflection Technique" to channel his chakra and stimulate the Sharingan's evolution.
Time ticked by, second by second.
Before he knew it, night had fallen.
After over three hours of continuous stimulation, Seimei finally stopped the technique.
"Panel!"
With a mental command, he pulled up his proficiency panel.
Looking at the bloodline section, where the Sharingan's evolution degree had increased, and factoring in the results of his daytime training plus the chakra he'd just used, Seimei reached a conclusion.
After this transformation, the maximum chakra his Sharingan could handle daily had jumped from 1.5 million points to 2.5 million—an increase of a full million points.
If he maxed out this capacity with sufficient chakra, he could gain an unprecedented 125 evolution points per day.
At that rate, his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, currently at (4937/100,000), would need only 760 days—just over two years—to reach (100,000/100,000).
Without a doubt, this was a massive leap forward.
But, sadly, he couldn't pull it off.
At least not in the short term.
Sure, this transformation had granted him an extra 800,000 points of usable chakra daily, but compared to his needs, it was a drop in the bucket.
Take the Byakugan, for example.
This transformation didn't just boost his Sharingan's capacity—his Byakugan had also grown stronger.
Closing his eyes again, Seimei activated the "All-Encompassing Seal" in his forehead, releasing the Byakugan's seal.
Then, he drew chakra from the interdimensional space, compressing it a second time through the seal to reach a higher energy state before channeling it into his Byakugan.
Nourished by this dense chakra, his Byakugan began to evolve slowly.
Time slipped by, minute by minute.
The night grew deeper.
Soon, it was past midnight.
Yet Seimei pressed on.
After three and a half hours of nurturing, he felt the familiar swelling in his Byakugan and paused the chakra infusion.
Opening his eyes, Seimei estimated the chakra he'd used in those three and a half hours—3.5 million points!
Yes, 3.5 million.
This transformation had boosted his Byakugan's chakra capacity by a million points, from 2.5 million to 3.5 million.
Adding the two together, his daily chakra deficit now reached a staggering 2 million points.
No, more than that!
Previously, while his Sharingan could handle 1.5 million points daily, he'd only been able to supply 1.25 million due to chakra shortages—a deficit of 250,000 points.
Then there was his physical enhancement.
Just over a week ago, he'd been investing 622,000 points daily into strengthening his body.
Initially, that amount exceeded his actual consumption, letting him stockpile some chakra. But after a week of increased strain, it was barely breaking even.
As he continued training in harsher environments, his chakra consumption would only rise.
Soon, 622,000 points wouldn't cut it.
So, he had a deficit there too.
All told, his daily chakra shortage exceeded 2.25 million points.
2.25 million versus 800,000.
It was clear that the extra 800,000 points from his "physique" attribute boost weren't enough to cover everything.
After some thought, Seimei made a decision.
He'd split the 800,000 points into two portions: 750,000 for his Sharingan and 50,000 for physical enhancement.
Yes, this time, he wasn't allocating any extra to his Byakugan.
There were three reasons for this.
First, his method of boosting the Byakugan's evolution was too crude, with low chakra efficiency, making it less worthwhile.
Second, nurturing the Byakugan took time. Two and a half hours was manageable, but any more would cut into his other training.
Third, his "Spirit Transformation Technique" proficiency was already at Level 9 (17,500/100,000).
At his current pace, even with a couple of days' rest or one or two missions, he'd max it out to Level 10 (0/0) in about four weeks.
Once that happened, he could redirect the 1.5 million points currently invested in it to his Byakugan.
So, there was no rush to increase its allocation now.
Without the Byakugan's drain, his new plan would let him channel 2 million points daily into his Sharingan.
That would yield 100 evolution points per day.
Add in the 1–2 passive points from using "Human Control" to enhance his body, and he'd hit 101–102 points daily.
At that rate, in less than two months, his Sharingan's evolution would reach the (10,000/100,000) milestone.
Based on past experience, hitting such a milestone should boost his "mental" attribute.
That would grant him another pool of usable chakra.
He could then pour that chakra back into his Sharingan.
This would further accelerate his Sharingan's evolution.
Seimei could almost see it—his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan evolving into the Rinnegan far faster than expected.
With the Rinnegan, he'd no longer need to fear hidden threats and could tackle bigger goals.
Like capturing Tailed Beasts or harvesting the Pure Land's resources.
At that thought, Seimei instinctively touched the ninja pouch at his waist, which held the metal spheres sealing the Four-Tails and Seven-Tails, along with a scroll containing Danzo's Edo Tensei body.
Whoosh~
A night breeze snapped Seimei out of his grand visions.
He coughed lightly, shifting his focus to physical enhancement.
With the extra 50,000 points, he wouldn't have to worry about running low on chakra for body strengthening anytime soon.
Centered on this island, the best training environment he'd found was a trench over 400 meters deep on the ocean floor.
He was close to reaching its bottom.
Once there, his daily chakra consumption for physical enhancement should stabilize.
So, 50,000 points would be more than enough.
