The next morning, Seimei arrived at Moon Island. As usual, he activated his Byakugan to scan the surroundings, confirming there were no abnormalities before diving into a new round of training.
Just as he'd predicted, after a little over three days of training, his body hit the critical point for transformation. No matter how much he pushed, he couldn't make any more progress.
Deep within the volcano beneath Moon Island, Seimei paused his training and took a moment to sense his condition. Once he confirmed that his last session had no effect, he let out a long breath. With a thought, he used the *Flying Thunder God Technique* to teleport back to the surface of Moon Island. He then exited *Sage Mode*, waited briefly for his body to heal from the harsh volcanic environment, and dispelled his *Multiple Shadow Clone Technique*. Instantly, all his shadow clones, both on and off the island, dissolved.
A flood of memories poured into his mind. Resisting the urge to dive into them immediately, Seimei first sorted and stored the returning chakra and natural energy. Only then did he begin processing the training experience contained in those memories. It didn't take long to fully absorb and digest them.
Glancing at the time, he saw it was still before noon—plenty of time left. After a quick adjustment to return to peak condition, Seimei set to work breaking through the invisible barrier holding back his physical growth.
The process was the same as before: he used *Human Control* to guide the way, then channeled Yang Release chakra, slowly grinding away at the cellular level to push past the limit. Time ticked by, second by second, until it was late at night. After hours of relentless effort, Seimei directed another wave of Yang Release chakra through his chakra pathways to every cell in his body. A crisp sound, like shattering glass, rang out. His body suddenly felt lighter, as if a massive weight had been lifted.
That familiar sensation told him instantly—he'd done it. He'd broken through the barrier. Now, the real transformation could begin.
No sooner had the thought crossed his mind than a warm current welled up from deep within him. Like a gentle stream, it flowed through his chakra pathways, spreading across his body, nourishing it and triggering a slow evolution at the cellular level. Seimei felt like he was soaking in a hot spring, utterly relaxed. He cleared his mind, letting his body instinctively choose its evolutionary path under the warm current's influence.
About half an hour later, Seimei's eyes snapped open. In that moment, time felt both endless and fleeting—an odd, almost mystical sensation. After a brief pause, he focused and silently called out, "Panel!"
A translucent blue panel appeared before him:
**Name: Uchiha Seimei**
**Age: 17**
**Physique: 36 → 37**
**Mental: 37**
**Chakra: 6,872,500 (10,301,590 → 13,853,610)**

**Perfected Skills:** [List not shown]
As expected, with his body's transformation complete, his *Physique* attribute had risen by one point, from 36 to 37. His *Mental* attribute was already at 37, meaning his mind and body were once again in perfect balance. Sensing his condition, Seimei confirmed that the faint pressure his mental strength had been exerting on his body was gone. He couldn't help but feel pleased.
This balance wouldn't last long, but every minute it did was a moment of relief. Plus, it meant his potential wouldn't be suppressed by an imbalance between the two attributes. With that in mind, Seimei adjusted his state and went all-in on the *Chakra Refinement Technique* to tap into his newfound potential.
His first task was to test the gains from this *Physique* boost, starting with his theoretical chakra cap. After about ten minutes of digging into his potential, he stopped and carefully compared his condition before and after, cross-referencing the chakra cap increase on his panel. He quickly calculated that this *Physique* boost had raised his theoretical chakra cap by about 20 million points—nearly 4 million more than the 16 million he'd gained the last time his *Physique* and *Mental* attributes were balanced at 36. It was clear that the higher his attributes climbed, the bigger the gap each point made.
This wasn't news to him, so he didn't dwell on it. With a sense of his potential's growth, he moved on to test his chakra recovery rate. He paused the *Chakra Refinement Technique* and quietly observed his panel while letting his body naturally recover chakra. Ten minutes later, he stopped. His panel showed a chakra increase of 450,694 points. That meant 2,704,166 points per hour, or 64,900,000 points over a full 24-hour day. In other words, with sufficient energy, he could now recover up to 64.9 million chakra points daily—a 10 million point jump from before, compared to an 8 million point increase the last time his attributes were balanced.
Clearly, his potential was fully unleashed without any suppression. But the real win? From now on, he'd have an extra 10 million chakra points to work with each day. Seimei was thrilled.
Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, he calmed his excitement and turned his attention to the rest of the panel to review his progress over the past five months. The first thing that caught his eye was his chakra cap. Through relentless effort, he'd boosted it by over 3.5 million points—about a third of his previous cap. That pushed his total from just over 10 million to nearly 14 million, giving his combat potential another big leap.
Seimei couldn't be happier about that.
