Time passed swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, five days had gone by.
During this time, as expected, the Iwa-nin launched several counterattacks. However, due to their earlier preparations and the substantial losses the Iwa-nin suffered five days ago, their subsequent attacks were far less intense.
As a result, there was little impact on their forces.
However, as for Aoba Uchiha, due to intervening in a few skirmishes, his training progress had lagged slightly. A skill he had intended to advance yesterday ended up being delayed until today.
…
Inside the secret base, Aoba formed hand seals with the concentration of a beginner, carefully channeling chakra to cast "Genjutsu: Sharingan."
Each time he cast it, he gained a bit of proficiency and a new insight.
Absorbing these insights, he would cast the technique again, earning a bit more proficiency and new realizations.
Aoba continued this process, cycling through casting and absorbing.
As he repeated the practice, the insights accumulated, gradually leading to a qualitative change.
At a certain moment, after casting "Genjutsu: Sharingan" again, a flood of new insights rushed over him like a tidal wave, immersing him completely.
Aoba remained lost in this state for a long time.
When he finally came to, he felt as though everything had changed.
Raising his right hand, Aoba pointed forward. Although nothing visibly happened, he knew that his "Genjutsu: Sharingan" had been successfully cast.
In the past, no matter how skilled he became, he still had to form hand seals to achieve this. But now, he could activate the technique with just a finger. The process had become instinctual—he could cast it whenever he wanted without the need for hand seals.
"Mastered?" Aoba muttered, withdrawing his finger. After a brief pause, he silently called, "Status screen!"
The familiar blue interface appeared before him.

Aoba quickly skimmed through the upper sections, his gaze settling on the "Genjutsu: Sharingan" at Lv7 (0/0).
As expected, his "Genjutsu: Sharingan" had reached its peak.
When he realized he could cast "Genjutsu: Sharingan" without hand seals, Aoba had already guessed that this skill was likely fully mastered. Now, he was simply confirming it.
The mastery of "Genjutsu: Sharingan" meant that from now on, the majority of jōnin would no longer pose a threat to him.
Of course, this didn't mean that he could defeat everyone with just "Genjutsu: Sharingan."
Until the Sharingan evolved into the Mangekyō, its power was still somewhat limited. Instant-cast genjutsu could be broken by skilled jōnin, particularly those with strong mental fortitude.
Aoba believed he could surpass most jōnin due to his overall abilities, not solely because of "Genjutsu: Sharingan."
However, if his Sharingan were to evolve into the Mangekyō, then defeating the majority of jōnin with just "Genjutsu: Sharingan" would be possible—similar to how Itachi Uchiha later trapped a powerful opponent like Kisame in a genjutsu with a mere glance.
Thinking of the Mangekyō, Aoba glanced at the progress bar for his Three Tomoe Sharingan (9999/10000). Shaking his head, he suppressed his urge to immediately advance it.
Though he was eager, he knew that now wasn't the right time. There was no pressure on him, so there was no need to rush or take unnecessary risks.
"I'll wait until my physique attribute improves," he thought.
With that decision made, Aoba turned his attention to other fully mastered skills.
"Fire Release: Dragon Flame" and "Fire Release: Great Fireball" had already reached mastery five days ago, so there was no need to discuss them.
What was noteworthy was "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough."
Thanks to Aoba reallocating the 5,000 chakra points originally dedicated to "Fire Release: Great Fireball" five days ago, the chakra investment into "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough" had doubled.
As a result, what would have taken ten more days to master had instead been achieved earlier today, even before "Genjutsu: Sharingan."
With "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough" mastered, Aoba had also fully grasped the nature transformation and shape transformation of wind chakra.
Now, when he used "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough," the storm he created was at least twice as powerful as before.
Additionally, with this improvement, his proficiency in "Wind Release: Blade of Wind" would grow twice as fast.
If he redirected the 10,000 chakra points from "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough" into "Wind Release: Blade of Wind," the technique's level could reach Lv5 in less than half a month.
At that point, he would have another powerful card up his sleeve.
But these were matters for the future.
For now, his "Genjutsu: Sharingan" had reached mastery, and his swordsmanship had advanced by a level. The conditions for developing "Illusion Sword Technique" were in place, and he was ready to start experimenting.
As for "Instant Sword Technique," now that he had fully mastered both the nature and shape transformations of wind chakra, though he lacked a proper sword, his short sword would suffice for preliminary research.
This meant that he would begin working on both the "Illusion Sword Technique" and the "Instant Sword Technique" simultaneously.
The mere thought of this filled Aoba with excitement.
He was eager to discover if the proficiency system would assist in developing these sword techniques.
If it did, he might carve out a unique path for himself in the future. If not, he would have to follow the footsteps of those who came before him.
However, Aoba was optimistic that the system would be useful.
After all, the skills he had learned thus far had all been developed by others, so there was no reason to believe that the system wouldn't support his own creations.
Taking a deep breath to calm his emotions, Aoba began to follow his earlier designs, combining his knowledge to tentatively create the "Illusion Sword Technique."
