My mind was running at 100 miles per hour. Sage Physique? As in like Hashirama and Sage of Six Paths kind of thing? Does that mean that Ascendant Physique is the Immortal Physique of Otusutsuki Kaguya? I was panicking, and my mind was overloaded. I paused and took a deep breath.
One step at a time. Let's focus on today.
I actually wanted to max out my Chakra too but I paused. How much SS will it need for evolution? The prompt said to get my evolution as fast as possible. I needed to know how much it would cost and prepare it beforehand. I did not want to take any risks.
And then for the first time since I had found it. The system actually answered a question of mine.
It will need the same amount of SS you needed to max out the stat.
I paused. And then I asked more questions, but the system had returned to giving me the cold shoulder. Was this thing sentient or not?
Well, anyway, if that's true. Then Physique had 20 steps of 10 points each. So 200 was needed for evolution.
Therefore, the chakra volume will need 20X20 =400 SS. Plus, I will need 20X15 = 300SS to Max it out. Which means 700 SS.
I looked to see that I had exactly 698SS left. Tomorrow then. But I still used 280 SS to upgrade Chakra Volume. Last point I'll add tomorrow. I was looking to see if the gap in strength covered had any relation to pain. I seriously did not want to go through that much pain again.

I returned past dinner time to find a bunch of worried faces. After reassuring them that I hadn't suddenly vanished from this Earth, we sat down to eat, and Daizen began to discuss the training regimen he planned to implement. Although Fuinjustsu was something I had to do on my own. For he had no idea how to handle that. He had taken up residence in a rented house near our Clan House. Of course, we were paying the rent. I had hosted him separately as he was a family man. Families need their space.
And I was kinda distracted, my main focus was on tomorrow and my current status.

My physique had seen quite the jump. I could tell that my physical strength was actually near elite genins. But apparently, I was still not good enough. Maybe because I still didn't know any good Jutsus.
I was too excited to sleep, so as soon as the clock struck 12 and the quest refreshed, I began exercising. The pushups and squats that usually drained me felt like a breeze now.
I finished it all in 2 hours.
Daily quest completed.
Reward - 2SS
I proceeded to sneak out of the house in the dead of the night and reached the lake. I brought a change of clothes for the gunk this time.
A deep breath, and here we go.
As soon as I clicked the button, my head felt like exploding. I was being electrocuted, but I still waited for the prompt.
Basic Chakra Volume maxed out.
SS for the requirement for Evolution met.
Invest 400 SS to Evolve into Tails?
Note: The host is advised to evolve instantly when prompted
I clicked Yes.
The pain increased, and electrocution spread to the whole body. But this time, thankfully, I passed out quickly.
When I woke up, it was already noon. The sun seemed too bright. I hurriedly bathed and then rushed back to the clan. Didn't want my cuties to worry too much.
After issuing some commands, I sat down to assess my gains.

Now I could also see in the tree how the chakra will progress. It will compare my chakra to tailed beasts. One tail, Ichibi was slightly weaker than a run-of-the-mill average Kage.
This makes it have 10500 Chakra Value according to this.
It will go slowly up to the Nine-Tails. Then there is a Sage Level and then the Ascendant Level.
Pretty straightforward if you ask me.
But what confused me was that I had not yet been named Elite Genin. I knew for a fact that almost all Genins had less Chakra than me. Then why was I still simply a Genin? Was it because my actual fighting capability was only equivalent to taijutsu? After all, a clone can not hurt people. So I was facing the same problem as everyone in Might Guy's lineage. I was a Taijustsu freak and Ninjutsu Dunce. Because I had no efficient way to use all that chakra.
I made a vow to learn some jutsu. But most importantly, I realized something. My Golden Finger was dependent on risks. I had to have good achievements in order to actually make use of its abilities. Which means C rank and above missions. But before that. I am gonna use all those D-rank contribution points for a good jutsu.
Now the question arose. Which one? So I finally bought a chakra paper to test my affinities.
I aslo had a small heart attack when I got to know how much that thing costs. 2000 Ryo I mean are you kidding me. It was smaller than the tags I made.
But anyway, It did tell me my affinities. Lightning and Water. Good. They kinda complemented each other. Although, considering that lightning was an incredibly rare attribut in Konoha. That could cause a few problems.
I decided to train well over the next few days in order to take C rank missions. Not just for experience. But also for money. D rank missions gave 1000 Ryo max. While C ranks went upto 10000. Although they had to be shared with a team. The harvest money wil tide us over for some time. But feeding a clan was hard work. I needed to do those missions or learn that complex storage tag that went for a lot of money. But in the end I decided to prepare for missions. I was going stir crazy. And I also will need battle experience in the future.
