Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Draining the Pond to Catch the Fish
Fifteen minutes later.
The two shadow clones practicing the Rasengan were the first to collapse, transforming into a mass of chakra and returning to the original body along with their experiences and memories.
Seimei, who was practicing the Reflecting Heart Technique, frowned slightly, then diverted a part of his consciousness to start merging these experiences and memories.
A moment later, he opened his eyes and glanced at the panel. The proficiency of the Rasengan had increased by thirty points.
With the same amount of chakra, if the original body practiced it personally, he could gain about forty-five proficiency points.
In other words, the shadow clone's training efficiency was only two-thirds of the original body's.
And this was only the efficiency in the short term.
If it continued for a long time without refreshing the shadow clone's state, this efficiency would decrease further until it encountered a bottleneck, and the efficiency would drop to zero.
However, Seimei would definitely not let such a thing happen.
Glancing at the two shadow clones still practicing the Genjutsu: Sharingan, Seimei thought for a moment and took the initiative to release the Shadow Clone Technique.
Immediately, two more streams of experience and memories returned, and Seimei carefully savored them.
After fully merging these experiences and memories, he opened the panel and glanced at it.
The proficiency of Genjutsu: Sharingan had increased by fifty points, and the efficiency was also about two-thirds of the original body's.
Seimei nodded in satisfaction, then went to an Iwa ninja, used the Chakra Absorption Technique to absorb their chakra, and replenished his own chakra to full capacity.
Then, he used the Shadow Clone Technique again, creating four shadow clones, and started a new round of training.
Just like that, every fifteen minutes or so, Seimei would refresh the state of the four shadow clones and replenish his chakra, repeating the cycle.
Soon, an hour and a half passed.
After Seimei once again merged the Rasengan training experiences from two shadow clones, the proficiency of his Rasengan directly reached lv1 (197/200)!
Considering the possible bottleneck, Seimei simply paused his practice of the Reflecting Heart Technique and personally practiced the Rasengan three times.
As a result, without any surprise, his Rasengan directly crossed into the lv2 level.
Consequently, Seimei's understanding of the Rasengan also reached a new level.
Now, when casting this technique, both the speed and the condensed chakra ball were much stronger than before.
However, there was still a long way to go before reaching the point where he could infuse Wind Release chakra and develop the S-rank ninjutsu - Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
Seimei wasn't too anxious about this.
Anyway, he hadn't fully mastered the Shape and Nature Transformation of Wind Release chakra yet. Even if he increased the level of the Rasengan now, it would be difficult to complete the step of infusing Wind Release chakra.
So...
"Let's take it one step at a time!"
Mumbling to himself, Seimei gathered his thoughts, once again performed the Shadow Clone Technique, created four shadow clones, and continued the previous training.
...
Time passed by second by second.
In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed.
Seeing that the three-hour time limit was about to arrive, Seimei finally achieved his set goal.
Out of a total of two hundred thousand chakra points, twenty-eight thousand were used to practice the Reflecting Heart Technique, gaining one hundred and eighty proficiency points.
One hundred and fifty thousand were used on the Rasengan and Genjutsu: Sharingan, increasing their proficiency by three hundred and sixty points and six hundred points, respectively.
Another twenty thousand chakra points were consumed due to frequent use of the Shadow Clone Technique.
To be honest, seeing this consumption made Seimei feel a bit心疼, but there was no other way. To save time, he could only do this.
Seimei stood up, glanced at the corpses of the Iwa ninjas on the ground, then formed hand seals and cast the 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique'.
*Boom*
Crimson flames spread out, engulfing all the corpses in the blink of an eye.
The smell of burning flesh and blood wafted over. Seimei frowned, covered his nose, and took two steps back. Only after all the corpses were charred did he leave the place.
Not long after he left, a dozen Iwa ninjas escorted two medical ninjas to this location.
Obviously, they were the Iwa ninjas responsible for receiving these wounded.
However, all that awaited them were charred corpses all over the ground.
Immediately, all the Iwa ninjas' expressions changed.
Some looked around vigilantly, some contacted their superiors to report the situation here, and others searched for traces of the enemy.
In short, they were all very busy.
And by the time they found some clues, Seimei had already found his second target.
It was a four-man team, currently hurrying on their way, their destination unknown.
Seimei carefully followed them for a distance, confirming that there was no one else around and that all four were only chunin, then decisively took action.
With almost no effort, all four were knocked down by him.
Then, Seimei directly used the 'Genjutsu: Sharingan' to guide the leading Iwa chunin to recall the relevant information about their mission.
Soon, he figured out the mission of these four people.
It turned out that they were on their way to deliver a piece of intelligence.
As for the content of the intelligence...
Seimei opened the man's clothes and took out a scroll from his chest, but upon seeing the sealing talisman attached to it, he gave up the idea of checking it.
Intelligence like this required a corresponding method to open it; otherwise, the scroll would self-destruct.
And obviously, these four expendable tools couldn't possibly know the correct method.
So, Seimei didn't waste any time on it.
Glancing at the surroundings, Seimei used the Shadow Clone Technique to create a shadow clone, then the two of them, each carrying two Iwa chunin, left the original spot.
After finding a secluded corner, Seimei ordered the shadow clone to keep watch while he started the preparations for his training.
Based on his previous experience, if he pushed them to their limits, these four Iwa chunin could probably provide him with about thirty thousand chakra points.
This time, there was no rush, and he could use all this chakra for practicing the Reflecting Heart Technique.
In this way, he could gain over one hundred and eighty proficiency points.
Actually, if he wanted to accumulate proficiency most efficiently, he should have done the same as before, finding a place to practice by himself.
Then, he would let his shadow clones go out and capture prisoners, harvesting their chakra in a gradual and sustainable way.
Only in this way could he fully utilize the value of these captives.
At the same time, it wouldn't waste too much time.
But in the current situation, staying in one place was too dangerous, so he could only temporarily abandon this method.
Fortunately, this time, in order to encircle the Third Raikage and the elite Cloud ninja he led, Iwagakure had mobilized over ten thousand ninjas.
With so many ninjas gathered together, even with good training, there was bound to be some chaos.
In this way, he could easily find targets to attack and wouldn't waste too much time.
Shaking his head, Seimei put these miscellaneous thoughts aside, calmed his mind, and began to seriously comprehend the entire process of the Reflecting Heart Technique taking effect.
