When training the Golden Lion Shiki template, there were still daily tasks tied to it.
But this Shiki Tohno template did not have any daily tasks at all.
So how was he supposed to increase its compatibility?
"Forget it. I'll test it first."
The system had already pushed the template's compatibility to one hundred points, which allowed Shiki to use the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception in a basic way.
Thinking of that, Shiki first closed his eyes, then slowly opened them again.
His original pupils had changed into a mesmerizing sky blue, and at the center of them, a crimson glow flickered faintly.
In Shiki's vision, everything changed.
The items around him, the walls, the mirror, even the flowing water—
all of it was covered in strange, special lines of death.
Shiki casually picked up a cup nearby.
Under the power of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, he could clearly see several death lines running across the cup.
Without thinking too much, he waved one hand and sliced through those lines.
The moment the death lines were severed, the cup in Shiki's hand instantly decayed and completely vanished.
This was the power of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
Cut the death lines, and sever vitality itself.
"Compatibility +0.001!"
"Ah?"
Shiki, who had just been about to continue testing the power of the Mystic Eyes, suddenly heard the system's voice, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"So the way to raise this character template's compatibility... is to keep using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception?"
Thinking of that, Shiki did not hesitate.
He immediately began searching for other things to test.
"Compatibility +0.002!"
"Compatibility +0.001!"
"Compatibility +0.001!"
...
After continuously experimenting for a while, Shiki finally let the strange brilliance in his eyes fade away.
Sure enough, it was exactly as he had guessed.
In just this short period of time, the compatibility of the Shiki template had already increased by quite a bit.
"If that's the case, then the compatibility of this template can be pushed to one hundred percent very quickly."
When training the Golden Lion Shiki template, once the daily tasks were completed, compatibility would stop increasing for the day.
But the method for increasing the compatibility of this Shiki template was obviously much simpler.
As long as he kept using the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, the compatibility would continue to rise.
At this rate, Shiki might even be able to raise it to one hundred percent before today ended.
Of course, Shiki had no intention of spending the entire day grinding compatibility.
"Next, I'll use that so-called demon to test my Mystic Eyes of Death Perception."
Originally, Shiki had thought it would be enough to simply seal that demon.
But now, it seemed he really wanted to use it to test exactly what his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception could do.
...
"Isn't he done yet? He's so slow!"
In the courtyard, Kushina shouted with a bored look on her face.
Kakashi, who had already finished his training, along with Kurenai Yuhi and Rin Nohara, had all gathered there and were waiting for Shiki.
"Shiki-nii likes taking baths, so it'll take a little while."
Kurenai said with a smile.
But even with that explanation, Kushina still looked utterly bored.
"Ugh! What's so great about bathing? Going outside the village is the real fun!"
"..."
Kurenai did not say anything, only glanced at Kushina helplessly.
Only you would think that.
Kakashi remained silent, while Rin kept looking at him with concern on her face.
At that moment, Shiki's voice came from inside the room.
"If you're in such a hurry, you can go first."
As he spoke, Shiki picked up his swords from the sword rack and fastened them to himself.
"Hehe! This trip is definitely going to be interesting!"
The moment she saw Shiki come out, Kushina's mood instantly improved, and she grinned happily.
Kushina was not stupid.
She knew very well that only if Shiki took her along could she leave the village.
If Shiki did not want to go, then she could only stay in Konoha.
Shiki shot Kushina, who was grinning foolishly, a flat look and clearly had no interest in dealing with her at all.
Then he turned his head and looked toward Kurenai, Kakashi, and Rin.
"Alright. Our destination is the Land of Demons. Let's move."
"Hahaha!"
The moment they left Konoha, Kushina's laughter never stopped.
At first, it was still manageable.
But after laughing the whole way like that, even Kurenai, Kakashi, and Rin were starting to lose patience.
Shiki rolled his eyes and looked at Kushina.
"I'm telling you, Rin knows medical ninjutsu. If you're sick, let her treat you."
"Ahem!"
The moment he said that, Kushina's mood, which had only just improved, instantly collapsed again.
"I finally managed to recover from my depression. Can't you just let me enjoy it a little?"
Kushina felt it was strange.
Whether Shiki was talking to Kurenai, Tsunade, or even Mikoto, his attitude was always relatively normal.
But the moment he spoke to her, he turned like this.
"Lord Shiki... do you have some kind of opinion about me?"
Kushina looked at him suspiciously, thinking back for a long time, trying to remember whether she had offended him somewhere.
"Heh."
Shiki rolled his eyes again and let out a cold laugh.
"It's fine if you've recovered, but don't act stupid and drag everyone else down with you."
"When was I acting crazy?!"
Kushina glared at him angrily and immediately argued back.
Seeing that Kushina still had no self-awareness at all, Shiki could only roll his eyes again. He did not bother explaining and simply pointed in the direction of Kurenai and the others.
"Ask them."
"Huh?"
Following Shiki's gesture, Kushina turned to look at Kurenai and the others in confusion.
In response to Kushina's gaze, the three of them all silently turned their eyes away.
"..."
Alright.
This time, even Kushina could not help rolling her eyes.
Maybe the way she had acted really was a little... Like an idiot.
Shaking her head, Kushina decided she was too lazy to dwell on it any longer.
At the same time, she gradually calmed down from the excitement she had felt at the start.
Only then did she notice that while traveling, Shiki had been continuously plucking leaves from the trees around them.
Kushina could not help teasing him.
"And what about you, Lord Shiki? Aren't you doing the same thing? Picking leaves like a child and playing around?"
Shh—
At that moment, Shiki casually flicked away a leaf after slicing through its death line.
He was training the power of his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception.
Anyway, traveling like this was boring.
He might as well train while moving.
He just had not expected that, from the outside, it would look like this.
