Chapter 148: Mind's Eye

Time flowed like water, slipping away without pause.

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

As Baishi predicted, following the deaths of Aburame Ryoma and his team, Danzo had fully withdrawn into the safety of Konoha. True to his cautious nature, Danzo made no further moves.

Baishi adhered to his own plans—training diligently while keeping an eye out for opportunities.

On this day, Baishi arrived in the Land of Hot Springs, a renowned tourist destination in the ninja world.

After the Third Shinobi World War, the daimyo of the Land of Hot Springs had begun reducing funding to the Hidden Hot Springs Village. Gradually, the number of shinobi in the village dwindled.

Now, the Hidden Hot Springs Village was a shadow of its former self, often referred to by outsiders as "the village that forgot war." Whether this was admiration or mockery was up for debate.

In contrast, the Land of Hot Springs itself had flourished. Its natural beauty and abundant resources had turned it into a thriving tourist hotspot, attracting visitors daily.

Even Baishi had been drawn by its reputation.

He found a quiet hot spring bathhouse and sank into the warm, soothing water.

As he relaxed, his thoughts drifted back to Moon Island.

"I wonder how the central peak's hot springs are doing now…"

Letting the thought trail off, Baishi closed his eyes, allowing the warmth of the water to envelop him.

But then, as if stirred by an unknown force, Baishi suddenly opened his eyes.

In an instant, a flood of sensory information overwhelmed him. Laughter from nearby tourists, the roar of a waterfall in the mountains, and the distant cries of merchants in the town all rushed into his ears.

Simultaneously, a chaotic mix of smells filled his nostrils—some fragrant, others pungent, and still others downright foul.

"Suppress it! Suppress it!"

The sheer volume of sensory data was too much for Baishi to process, forcing him to mentally shield himself from the barrage of stimuli.

After a long moment, he finally regained his composure.

Letting out a wry chuckle, Baishi murmured, "System, show my status."

The familiar translucent interface appeared before him:

Three months of training had yielded significant progress. Although his Spatial Awareness Enhancement had not yet surpassed its limits, his Five Senses Enhancement had taken the lead in advancing.

It wasn't surprising. His Five Senses had already reached X (79.3%) before, so its breakthrough was only a matter of time.

Like his earlier upgrades—Regeneration, Mental Resistance, and Energy Absorption—the Five Senses Enhancement evolved into entirely new abilities after surpassing its limits.

However, this time, the enhancement split into two distinct abilities upon advancing:

1. Super Vision, which granted unparalleled dynamic visual acuity.

2. Mind's Eye, a fusion of tactile perception and spiritual awareness.

The latter was particularly fascinating. Unlike the Uzumaki clan's Kagura Mind's Eye, Baishi's Mind's Eye required no chakra as a medium. Activating it allowed him to perceive everything in his surroundings directly.

For example, as Baishi closed his eyes and activated Mind's Eye, the entire area within a hundred-meter radius became vividly mapped out in his mind. Every object, every movement—no matter how small—was clear as day.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Baishi sensed something unusual—an intangible presence. It felt like gas, yet denser and more substantial.

It took him a moment, but recognition dawned.

Opening his eyes, Baishi's gaze lit up with excitement.

"Could it be? Is this…?"

He closed his eyes again, concentrating intently on the sensation.

Moments later, his suspicions were confirmed.

"It really is natural energy!"

Baishi's discovery was not just exhilarating; it was monumental.

This wasn't the residual natural energy from absorbing and breaking down Sage Chakra during his fight with Jiraiya. No, this was ambient natural energy, freely existing in the environment.

The ability to perceive natural energy meant he now had the foundation to practice Sage Mode—a long-anticipated goal.

"Stay calm. Stay calm," Baishi muttered to himself, taking several deep breaths to steady his excitement.

Being able to sense natural energy was only the first step. Safely drawing it into his body would be the next challenge.

Even if he succeeded in this, the most dangerous step still lay ahead: fusing natural energy with his physical and spiritual energies to create Sage Chakra.

Each step presented its own set of risks and complexities. For now, he had only taken the first step on a very long journey.

Once he felt composed, Baishi deactivated Mind's Eye and began assessing the rest of his senses.

---

Both his olfactory and auditory senses had become significantly more acute. However, these enhancements were already more than sufficient for most purposes.

Turning his attention to his other abilities:

His Spatial Awareness Enhancement continued progressing steadily and was expected to surpass its limits within three months.

Energy Absorption and Mental Fortress had both improved marginally, strengthening their effects.

His Regeneration had crossed two-thirds completion, promising to extend beyond simple limb restoration upon further advancement.

Dust Release had finally reached Level VIII, now matching his Wood Release in potential.

Perhaps most notably, his Base Attributes had resumed their growth, with each increasing by roughly 11–12 points over three months.

At this rate, his Strength and Agility now surpassed even the Raikage's famed Lightning Armor in its strongest form.

Step by step, Baishi was closing in on his goal of becoming the ultimate six-dimensional fighter.
