With the help of the maids, Nawaki prepared a feast before noon.

Yugito Nii appeared, but she was silent even when Mikoto, Hikari, or Kushina tried to talk to her.

Her answers were simple to all questions, almost always yes or no.

Oddly enough, she spoke to Hana the most. Yugito Nii even took the initiative to talk to Hana.

"Hana, it's tasty, right?" Yugito Nii said.

"Yes." Hana dryly replied, "Very tasty."

"Want me to get you something?" Yugito Nii asked.

"Okay, some tomatoes," Hana asked.

"Okay." Yugito Nii caught a little while standing on the chair. She sat back down and handed it to Hana, "Is this much good?"

"Yes, thank you," Hana replied with the same indifference as always.

"Okay." Yugito Nii went back to eating.

Their conversation ended there. However, it was more than any of them managed to talk to Yugito Nii.

Later that same day, Nawaki was about to use the winnings.

Tsunade came out of the bathroom at that very moment. She was scantily clad. A set of yellow floral sweaters. Her skin was slightly damp after her shower. Drops were dripping from her collarbone, and her breasts were barely hidden. She had a nice navel and flaunted her healthy and fresh legs without hesitation.

She wasn't wearing a bra, and you could see the relief of her pert nipples through her nightgown.

A charming smile curves her lips.

Tsunade moved closer and closer until she was right next to Nawaki.

Lifting one of her feet, she placed it around his bent left side, and with her hands braced on his shoulder, she placed the other foot on the bed in the same way, sitting on his lap.

"Fufu, you're hot~" She commented as she felt Nawaki's body temperature heat up.

{Author: As before, the sex part is for the next chapter}

Hours later, Nawaki was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed.

He mainly used red orbs to restore his energy.

Tsunade was nearby, now dressed in comfortable clothes, meditating.

Nawaki mostly handed her regeneration divine art crystals

While he directly used the rune on his mental dimension.

The rune that was flashing blue light disappeared into his mental dimension. It then entered Nawaki's body. Nawaki starts using the purple orb and starts to understand the secrets contained in the rune.

A pleasant surprise was discovered while Nawaki learned the secrets of the rune. Apparently, the rune provides a unique kind of ability, and Nawaki was just learning that. Besides, he felt that the knowledge of his flames grew until he could undergo an evolution.

Nawaki seems to feel the power of this fire skill and couldn't help but sigh. It was indeed a skill at the same level as a Kekkei Genkai. Essentially, it was much stronger than many known Kekkei Genkai.

Two and a half days later, Nawaki opened his eyes once more. There was a blue breeze that passed through his eyes.

On his back, a cloak of pure energy was created. It was the same color as the flames on Matatabi's body with some hook-shaped patterns in black.

While 'equipped' with the cloak, Nawaki felt that the speed and energy in his body were nearly doubled.

'In this form, I should even be able to create a thousand shadow clones or more…' Nawaki was impressed.

His lips curved upward, revealing a smug smile.

Disabling the cloak. Nawaki notices that his strength alone has increased a lot these past two and a half days.

However, he didn't want to stop now, so he went back to meditating.

This time, Nawaki chose to use the white energy thread.

Nawaki closed his eyes and started absorbing the energy. After absorbing the white energy thread, his cells became more and more dynamic. His mental power and spiritual strength became purer as his mind became clearer. Even the reaction of his spiritual strength continued to deepen. Nawaki was becoming stronger in every way. It wasn't as painful as absorbing the orbs.

That feeling of getting stronger was incredible. Nawaki couldn't help but be delighted by this.

When he opened his eyes once more, it was already night and the thread of white energy was completely refined. His power increased to a frightening level. Now, even without the cloak, he is capable of using 900 shadow clones...

Energy flowed through his body calmly. It was so much energy that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to think of him now as a tailed beast in terms of the amount of energy.

Stretching out, he saw Tsunade beside him meditating as well.

Luckily he and she left shadow clones to take over their responsibilities so they didn't have to worry about it.

'There is still the divine art of Matatabi.' Nawaki muttered in his mind.

He could already use the blue flames just like Matatabi, however, he felt that he could get even better if he used the crystal with Matatabi's divine art.

Closing his eyes once more, Nawaki refined directly from his mental dimension. Afterward, a powerful energy surged within Nawaki.

Energy flows around his body, and Nawaki could feel the blue flames in his cells. His body was going numb. But, luckily, he managed to use the power of the art of regeneration and make use of the cloak, thus improving a little, and reducing the pain.

Nawaki used the purple orb he got from Matatabi, so the knowledge of flames was read by him.

Four hours later, small blue flames appeared on Nawaki's body.

Nawaki's tightly closed eyes slowly opened. The depths of his eyes glowed with a blue flame.

He took a breath and held out his right hand. Blue flames appeared. It danced in his hand like the flames of a light candle and contained powerful and destructive energy.

Nawaki raised an eyebrow and made a fist. The blue flames disappeared.

'950 shadow clones, I guess.' Nawaki couldn't describe the speed he was getting stronger.

Of course, this is credit to Matatabi's immense chakra that was converted into pure energy in the Hunting Dimension, however, it doesn't change the fact that it was now part of his power.

'That should be enough to kill the Eight-Tails?' Nawaki wondered about uncertainty.

Although he was much more powerful, the Eight-Tails seems to be more powerful than the Two-Tails, perhaps it wasn't as simple as killing Matatabi.

'Well, no rush, it should be enough for now, besides...' He thought of the Three-Tails and Six-Tails Bijuu.

It's safer for him to deal with that first.
