After checking the gains from boosting his "Physical" attribute, Seimei closed the panel and refocused his mind. He prepared to use the "Heart Reflection Technique" to stimulate the evolution of his Sharingan.
Though it was already late, he decided to push the Sharingan's evolution progress to (60,000/100,000), crossing this small milestone before resting. With the breakthrough so close, there was no point in leaving it unfinished and going to bed.
With that thought, Seimei closed his eyes.
Time ticked by, second by second.
Five minutes passed in a flash.
Finally, after channeling a special surge of chakra into his eyes, Seimei felt a subtle shift in his optic nerves. A moment later, an invisible barrier seemed to dissolve.
He opened his eyes.
In that instant, his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan activated instinctively. An intangible pressure radiated from his eyes, swiftly enveloping the entire island.
Just like every other breakthrough, the overwhelming aura silenced all the chirping insects and singing birds on the island. The only sound left was the rhythmic crash of waves against the reef.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
The sound of the sea echoed.
Seimei focused, steadily reigning in the surging mental energy that had spiked due to his "Mental" attribute's growth.
Half an hour passed quickly.
Through relentless effort, he finally regained control over the near-uncontrollable mental energy.
But now, he could clearly feel the strain his mental energy was putting on his physical body.
With a thought, Seimei opened his proficiency panel.
As expected, his "Mental" attribute had increased by one point, from 34 to 35. This widened the gap with his "Physical" attribute, which sat at 33, by two points.
However, even though it was just a two-point difference, the higher the base attribute, the larger the gap each point represented. The disparity between his mental and physical strength was now much greater than before.
This explained the intense pressure he felt.
Fortunately, the two-point gap wasn't enough to cause a serious imbalance between his mind and body, so Seimei wasn't overly concerned.
Still, he could foresee that if his "Mental" attribute increased by another point or two, maintaining this two-point gap would no longer be sustainable. At that point, he'd likely need to wait for his "Physical" attribute to catch up, narrowing the gap, before pushing his "Mental" attribute further.
In the end, both attributes would probably need to progress in tandem.
But that was a concern for later.
For now, he wanted to figure out what gains this "Mental" attribute boost had brought him.
With that in mind, Seimei tested the results, just as he had with his earlier "Physical" attribute increase. He checked his theoretical chakra cap and chakra recovery speed.
In the end, he concluded that this "Mental" attribute boost had raised his theoretical chakra cap by 4.5 million points.
While this wasn't as significant as the 6 million-point increase from his recent "Physical" attribute boost, it was still 500,000 points higher than the 4 million-point increase from his previous "Mental" attribute jump from 33 to 34.
Considering the growing gap between his mental and physical attributes was suppressing some of his potential, Seimei was content with this result.
Beyond that, his chakra recovery speed had also improved.
As usual, a "Mental" attribute boost didn't drastically enhance chakra recovery. This time, the jump from 34 to 35 only increased his daily chakra recovery by 2.2 million points.
While this was better than the 1.8 million-point recovery boost from his last "Mental" attribute increase (33 to 34), it paled in comparison to the 3.5 million-point recovery boost from his "Physical" attribute going from 32 to 33.
Still, Seimei had expected this, so he wasn't disappointed.
In fact, the combined gains from these two attribute boosts—adding 5.7 million points (3.5 million from "Physical" + 2.2 million from "Mental") to his daily usable chakra—thrilled him.
Suppressing a yawn, Seimei checked the time and decided not to linger. He stood, walked to the wooden hut nearby, washed up briefly, and went inside to rest.
The night passed quietly.

The next day.
Early morning.
The sky was just beginning to lighten.
Seimei woke up, but unlike usual, he wasn't brimming with energy. He looked a bit worn out.
Rubbing his temples, he sat on the bed, assessing his condition.
Moments later, his expression shifted.
As he feared, upon waking, he noticed his mental energy was noticeably straining his physical body.
He had underestimated the gap between each point of his base attributes at this level. His current state was a clear sign of a slight imbalance between his mind and body.
Before, he'd thought he could afford to let both his "Physical" and "Mental" attributes each rise by one more point before addressing the gap. Now, it was clear he needed to act sooner.
After some quiet reflection, Seimei made a decision. For now, he'd pause using the "Heart Reflection Technique" to push his Sharingan's evolution. Instead, he'd focus entirely on strengthening his body.
Once his body underwent another transformation and his "Physical" attribute increased by one point, he could resume advancing his Sharingan.
Conveniently, his recent "Physical" attribute boost would likely speed up his body-strengthening process. With the added help of "Sage Mode," it wouldn't take long for his body to transform again.
By then, he wouldn't need to worry about his mental energy overwhelming his physical body.
Of course, this would consume more chakra, but Seimei wasn't concerned.
True, over the past month, he'd burned through most of his chakra reserves, leaving him with little left.
But now, the combined 5.7 million points of usable chakra from his "Physical" and "Mental" attribute boosts changed that.
On top of that, his "Sage Mode" was nearing completion, which would save him another 2.8 million points of chakra. That brought the total to 8.5 million points.
Plus, a month ago, he'd captured the Three-Tails, which contributed 1.5 million points of chakra daily.
All told, that was 10 million points of chakra.
As long as his body-strengthening process consumed less than 38.12 million points of chakra—or an additional 3.12 million points beyond his current consumption—he could handle it.
Even if it exceeded that slightly, it wouldn't be a problem.
After all, every ten days, he took a day to rest and recover.
That single day was enough to let him stockpile just over 40 million points of chakra.
As long as the chakra deficit from ten days of intense training didn't exceed that amount, he was confident he could manage.
And honestly, Seimei was optimistic.
Based on his previous three transformations, once his "Sage Mode" was complete and paired with the "Limit of the Body," it would likely reduce his chakra consumption significantly.
