The twenty-one-day vacation slipped away like sand through one's fingers.
Inside the Demon Refining Pot, Uchiha Hara slowly opened his eyes. The sharp light in his gaze was restrained, and his aura was calm as water.
Without school, he could devote his entire body and mind to training. Even when he was with Kurenai Yuhi, he guided her training rather than playing with her.
As a result, Uchiha Hara had made tremendous progress over those twenty-one days.
It was time to take stock of the abundant gains brought by this three-week "long vacation."
First was the growth of his avatar, Uchiha Cheng.
For twenty-one consecutive days, Uchiha Cheng had consumed and digested three Blood Pills a day, for a total of sixty-three Blood Pills.
The massive life energy continuously nourished his body, increasing his Essence stat by 6.3 points, from its initial 2.5 all the way to 8.8!
The increase in his Essence stat compensated for Uchiha Cheng's original mental imbalance. Once his Essence stat reached 8, he naturally succeeded in refining chakra.
However, since Uchiha Cheng's Spirit stat was too high, Uchiha Hara continued feeding him only Blood Pills rather than Soul Pills.
Because his base stats were already high, Uchiha Cheng's chakra reserves were equally considerable. His Qi stat had also reached 8.8, matching his Essence stat.
His spiritual strength, the Spirit stat, had also stabilized at 8.0.
Uchiha Hara's main body had quietly cast a sensory ninjutsu to scan the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
The result was that, within the entire Hidden Leaf Village, only Kushina Uzumaki—the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki with the Uzumaki Clan physique—had greater chakra reserves, or a higher Qi stat, than Uchiha Cheng's 8.8!
Of course, looking across the entire Ninja World, he had seen people with even greater chakra reserves, such as Tsunade.
