Naruto went out and headed to the lake again. Although the experience of being turned into a statue was a scary one, he still wished to become stronger.

When he arrived, he released his power, his eyes focused, and his power emanated. A faint white glow appeared on the surface of his body. He was in the Martial Warrior State battle mode.

Emitting white light. This is only achieved by achieving perfect refinement for a small level. He knew this because of the original plot knowledge from Pocket Hunting Dimension.

However, this battle mode was inferior to his power, as it had a maximum power of a Level 8 Martial Warrior.

If he were to calculate, Naruto predicted that his current power should be around the Central Martial State or even the Opening of Opening State.

These are the first 7 ranks:

Martial Warrior State (10 levels of body refinement)

Spiritual Martial State

Abstruse Martial State

Central Martial State

Opening of Opening State

Mortal Evolution State

Planetary State

Naruto calculated that the maximum someone has reached in this world is the Planetary State in terms of strength. Of course, this was only a rough way for him to calculate, as the reality was that he himself did not know for sure. His knowledge did not extend beyond this, and although he knew the plots, the concepts behind the laws and powers were different. It wasn't so simple to calculate the powers, and he couldn't determine them precisely.

However, he thought that perhaps at the peak, Kaguya Otsutsuki might have the strength of being in the Stellar State, which is ranked 8. In this rank, the user is capable of simple control of space. They can use their bodies alone to jump into space within a planet. They can establish an extendable space of 1 to 10 Km in radius. Star-like nucleus cell with a bright light wheel (Star Wheel) around it.

But again, it was difficult to measure strength through this, and only when he is able to reach that level will he know for sure.

Putting these thoughts aside, Naruto sat down and began Zen Meditation after swallowing a red orb.

A few hours later...

His body was in perfect harmony, and every aspect of his being seemed to have been enhanced to the fullest. The muscle refinement was evident, with every muscle vibrating with life and emitting a distinctive glow. The tendons had also been perfected, and the major tendons now shone in a soft gold.

And finally, the bone refinement had reached perfection, with each bone smooth like a jade artifact, shining with incomparable quality. It was as if Naruto was in tune with every part of himself, his body a sharp and precise machine.

Naruto stepped out of the water and looked at himself in the reflection. Although he saw himself in the water reflection, it somehow looked different.

"Did I become even more handsome?" Naruto was stunned.

His blue eyes shone with intensity, and his blond hair was a bit more tousled than usual as if he had just woken up. His blue eyes seemed deeper and more expressive, with a certain enigmatic sparkle that he had never noticed before. His facial features were softer and more delicate, with an angular jaw and slightly arched eyebrows. He realized that he had an air of mystery and seriousness. His body also seemed leaner and more sculpted, with defined muscles and a more elegant and confident posture.

"This is amazing, dattebayo!"

His happiness was palpable. Although he was not dissatisfied with his appearance, who wouldn't want to become even more beautiful? He had dreamed of it several times in the past, mainly to win Sakura's love...

But now, Naruto knew he needed to set aside those thoughts and hurry back to avoid being late.

The sun had just risen over Mount Myoboku, illuminating the landscape with warm shades of orange and yellow. The sunlight seemed to dance on the leaves of the trees, painting the forest in a vibrant mix of colors. The cool morning air blew gently, bringing with it the soft smell of freshly cut grass and wildflowers.

In the distance, the sounds of nature could be heard - the singing of birds, the croaking of frogs, and the murmuring of a nearby stream. The tranquility of the landscape was interrupted only by the sound of Naruto's footsteps as he ran back to Grandpa Toad's house after intense refinement training.

Upon arrival, Fukasaku, Grandpa Toad, was startled to see Naruto.

"Naruto-chan, what happened to you!?" He spun around Naruto, evaluating him in astonishment.

His appearance had changed considerably, even more so than the day before, although for Fukasaku, human appearance was not as distinct as that of toads, still, after such a drastic change, he couldn't help but notice.

"Naruto-chan, are you using some transformation jutsu to look more handsome?" Fukasaku guessed.

It wasn't an absurd assumption, considering that in just two days, Naruto had undergone such a surprising transformation in his appearance.

At the sight of Naruto, Shima also had a surprised reaction, and her eyes widened in astonishment.

"Naruto-chan, what happened to you?" she asked, examining his appearance.

Naruto scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Well, I was training, and maybe I improved my appearance in the process?"

It was a vague and imprecise answer, but Naruto preferred not to reveal the true source of his transformation.

The elderly toads exchanged a confused look but chose not to press him.

"Are you hungry, Naruto-chan? Eat some before we start training," Shima said with a gentle smile.

This time, there was onigiri, which was more palatable. Naruto thanked her: "Thank you for the food!"
