The entire process gave off an effortless vibe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My micro-control has improved significantly,\" Seimei murmured, testing his hovering by moving side to side. Everything felt seamless and natural, leaving him quite satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he looked up at the sky, focused his thoughts, and controlled the chakra wings to flap harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a strong gust of wind rushed past him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei's expression shifted as he quickly activated his Sharingan, using its keen insight to discern the branches blocking his path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His figure flickered as he avoided all obstacles and darted out of the dense forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he look down with a lingering sense of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although those branches posed no serious threat, getting scratched on the face wasn't ideal either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refocusing, Seimei observed the path he had taken. The branches he flew past were still swaying violently from the turbulent airflow he created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This speed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei was both surprised and impressed. Without hesitation, he looked forward again and resumed flying at full speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next while, Seimei's figure streaked through the air like a ghostly shadow, impossible to track with the naked eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, he stopped mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hovering, he tidied his disheveled hair and began analyzing the upgrades from leveling *Wind Style: Wings of Wind* to 6.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flexibility was the most noticeable improvement. From the effortless hovering earlier, it was clear how much control he now had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At present, he could manipulate the chakra wings to execute various flight maneuvers, even more agile than some naturally flying birds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next was speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on his calculations, his maximum flight speed had doubled, going from 100 meters per second to 200 meters per second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although still not as fast as supersonic jets, it was comparable to some commercial planes from his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At such speed, Seimei was undoubtedly in a league of his own in the ninja world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoo~~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting out a long breath, Seimei felt the world's constraints on him loosen slightly, stirring an urge to shout in exhilaration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as he looked up at the bright artificial moon and the infinite starry sky beyond it, he realized his progress was trivial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, he knew that even if he perfected *Wind Style: Wings of Wind,* it wouldn't allow him to leave the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, he was still bound to this planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sense of disinterest welled up, prompting Seimei to shake his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this despondency didn't last long. Soon, his fighting spirit reignited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, the beginning is the hardest part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had already developed *Wind Style: Wings of Wind* to leave the ground, it was only a matter of time before he created a technique to leave the planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the day came, he would venture into the depths of space to witness the unknown scenery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was a matter for the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, he had a more immediate concern: how to protect himself while flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right—protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, his slower flight speed didn't pose any problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, even the rushing air was enough to make breathing difficult, let alone other potential hazards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he needed to develop a protective barrier-like ability to shield himself during flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Seimei pondered, an idea surfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of the Tailed Beast Cloak used by jinchūriki, which functioned as a protective layer around the host.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could create a similar technique, it would not only solve his flying issues but also enhance his defense—two birds with one stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he already had a foundation for developing such a skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Clang~*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei unsheathed the long blade at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, a faint blue glow enveloped his body, connecting him to the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this was the state of *Instant Blade Technique* in use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint blue glow was a layer of Wind Style chakra designed to reduce air resistance and enhance Seimei's movement speed, enabling the *Instant Blade* technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could modify this, increasing the density of the chakra layer, could he develop a defense-focused skill?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driven by this thought, Seimei immediately mobilized his chakra, attempting to increase the density of the layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several attempts, he was unsuccessful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Seimei wasn't discouraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through these trials, he confirmed the feasibility of his idea—it just required more time to refine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the protection issue was as good as solved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, what should I name this skill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seimei contemplated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, he murmured, \"Since the inspiration came from the Tailed Beast Cloak, and it resembles clothing, let's call it *Chakra Robe.*\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having settled on a name, Seimei didn't pursue further attempts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subsequent research would be left to his shadow clones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for himself...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the *Wind Style: Wings of Wind* test was complete, it was time to resume his training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this thought, Seimei returned to the ground.
