MTLNOVEL Chapter 355
After leaving Kurozawa Nariki's office, Uchiha Haruki didn't return directly to his own quarters. Instead, he first sought out his group of several dozen subordinates.
Haruki didn't tell them about what had happened in Twin Rivers Town. He simply relayed the newly issued order from above—that they were to officially garrison this location.
Although they had already been doing so over the past few days, the issuance of a formal mission gave it legitimacy.
That, in turn, helped settle his subordinates' minds.
After that, Haruki didn't linger. He quickly returned to his quarters.
With efficient movements, he prepared his meal. Once he was full, he began his night training session.
As previously mentioned, whether he was using Palm Sage Technique to strengthen his body or casting Mirror Heart Technique to promote the evolution of his Sharingan, both took significant time.
To complete his daily training quota, just relying on daytime hours was far from enough.
So nighttime training was essential too.
Fortunately, with the help of the Proficiency Panel, Haruki could see his improvements clearly after each session.
Otherwise, living this exhausting "007" lifestyle (work from 7 am to 12 am, 7 days a week), he might not have lasted long.
Sunrise, sunset—
In the blink of an eye, another week passed.
That afternoon.
Still in that same stretch of forest—
Haruki had just completed a round of Palm Sage Technique.
He carefully felt out the changes in his body, and after a long moment, he opened his eyes and murmured,
"…It's about time."
At this moment, Haruki clearly sensed that his body had reached the threshold of transformation, yet some invisible shackle was still holding him back.
For ordinary people, breaking through this kind of bottleneck would require not only time, but also natural talent.
But Haruki was different—
He had the ocular jutsu Human Dominion, which could actively guide the evolution of the body.
And now was the perfect time to use it.
With that in mind, Haruki immediately dispelled his Shadow Clones.
In an instant, all the shadow clones in the forest—each practicing a different jutsu—turned into plumes of chakra.
Their training experiences and memories were instantly transmitted back into Haruki's body.
Thanks to his high 19-point Spirit stat, Haruki's mental strength was formidable.
Even after receiving such an influx of information, his mind remained clear—though his face paled slightly.
Taking a deep breath, Haruki allowed himself a short break before beginning to review the memories and experiences he had just absorbed, converting them into Proficiency Panel progress bit by bit.
About fifteen minutes later, he reopened his eyes—
Everything had been fully digested.
"Next… it's time to enhance my body."
He whispered to himself, then closed his eyes again.
After spending a little time to bring himself into peak condition and confirming that no one was around, Haruki activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.
In the next moment, his eyes transformed from the classic three-tomoe state into the form of a black sun.
As he felt the immense ocular power swirling within them, Haruki briefly marveled at the sensation.
But he quickly gathered his thoughts and activated the ocular jutsu residing in his right eye.
In that instant, the power of Human Dominion enveloped him.
Haruki immediately felt a new level of control over his own body, almost as if a single thought could direct his body to evolve and grow.
Of course…
He knew this was an illusion.
With his current Mangekyō power, he couldn't truly achieve that kind of control.
Even if he improved his ocular strength by one or two more tiers, he still wouldn't reach that level.
Why?
Simple—
No matter how fast evolution is, the human body can't transform in a few seconds or minutes.
Perhaps when he evolved his Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan—no longer needing to worry about blindness—he might then dare to try it.
But for now...
Better not risk it.
Haruki quickly reined in his thoughts, raised his hands, and began weaving hand seals with practiced speed—
Activating the level 8 Palm Sage Technique.
Immediately, a rich Yang Release chakra surged into his body, flowing through his chakra network and spreading to every part of him.
Under the guidance of Human Dominion, it began to stimulate his body's transformation.
In just an instant, Haruki felt that the invisible bottleneck inside him shattered, replaced by an unprecedented sense of liberation.
At that moment, it felt like he was soaking in a warm hot spring—
His whole body was relaxed, cozy, and comfortable beyond words.
Resisting the temptation to indulge in that feeling, Haruki quickly deactivated Human Dominion and closed his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Then, he quietly focused on the changes taking place in his body.
Time ticked by minute after minute...
Roughly half an hour later, Haruki opened his eyes again.
A vibrant, pulsing life force radiated from his body, lasting for quite some time before it finally faded.
"Panel!"
With a thought, Haruki summoned his Proficiency Panel.
A familiar pale-blue screen materialized before him:

"As expected… It increased!"
Haruki nodded with satisfaction upon seeing his Constitution stat had risen from 16 to 17.
Then, he focused on sensing how this improvement was affecting his body.
First, his theoretical maximum chakra capacity had increased by around 30,000 points, going from 160,000 to 190,000.
Second, his chakra recovery speed had improved.
This could be broken into two parts:
Natural recovery:
Previously 96,000 per day → now 116,000 per day
(+20,000 increase)
Recovery via Chakra Refinement Technique:
His enhanced constitution boosted his body's stress threshold,
allowing him to use the technique for 13 hours per day instead of 12.
At 2,000 points/hour, that's +2,000 more per day.
In total, his daily chakra recovery jumped from 120,000 → 142,000.
Haruki decided to divide the newly available chakra into three parts:
12,000 points for training Great Shark Bullet Technique, yielding about 80 proficiency points per day.
5,000 points for practicing Hidden Mist Technique, earning about 100 proficiency points daily.
5,000 points to work on Precise Extraction Technique, which could bring in 60 points based on beginner-level consumption.
While the gain in the last skill was small, it still marked a solid start.
With this reallocation, these jutsu could finally stop collecting dust.
Haruki was very pleased with the outcome.
