The ashes were carried away by the wind. In the wake of the destruction, resplendent lights marked the location.
There were twelve ruby spheres, whose glow surpassed that of the red lions. Next to them, twelve spheres of purple hue shone with equally dazzling intensity. In addition, a pulsating fiery red crystal orb throbbed with vibrant vitality, as if alive. Finally, a hazy white sphere, something Naruto had never seen before, lay there. Perhaps it couldn't even be considered a sphere. It was just a strand of energy. Its shape was mutable; at times it metamorphosed into luminous spheres, and at other times, into thin threads.
Naruto's eyes remained fixed on the strange energy. Without wasting any time on reflection, he promptly collected all the spheres of light.
"I didn't even need to use the Rasenshuriken..." Naruto murmured. Initially, the idea was just to probe the opponent's strength and then unleash his full attack to exterminate the lion. However, it turned out to be unnecessary, which was somewhat of a relief for him.
Next, he turned to the Fire Tree. Upon touching the flame, the tree transmuted into an intense red light that was absorbed into his mental dimension.
After completing all these procedures, Naruto's eyes closed. When he opened them again, he was back in his parents' room.
Naruto took deep breaths, trying to control the excitement that shimmered in his eyes.
His current harvest was more generous than any previous one. In fact, there was an energy previously unknown to Naruto!
With that thought in mind, Naruto's eyes shone brighter. He delved into his mental dimension and contemplated the scene. There, a small flame and a peculiar strand of energy stood out from the common orbs. The flame danced and burned in space, making Naruto feel as if he were constantly absorbing knowledge about the art of the Fire God. The strand of energy, on the other hand, seemed only distorted, with nothing particularly noteworthy.
With his eyes still shining, Naruto settled back and extended his mental strength to touch the energy. Opting to assimilate this energy, he felt his body tremble as it permeated his being. A noticeable change occurred in his expression.
It was incredibly good!
It was as if a delicate little hand was caressing every inch of his muscles. Naruto closed his eyes in contentment. He could clearly feel the life force flooding every part of his body, even strengthening his mental strength.
Although it was just a strand of energy, for Naruto, it was like the sensation of the vastness of the oceans. The energy flowed incessantly, bathing and invigorating Naruto's body.
He noticed a fundamental change in himself. A small alteration, but extremely significant and profound.
Naruto didn't dwell on his thoughts. His current state was simply wonderful, more enlightening than when he used the weak purple spheres.
Quickly, Naruto turned to the fire crystal of the male lion. The small flame continued to emit divine art runes. The art of the fire god, belonging to the male lion, ran through his entire body. With the addition of the strange energy thread, his perception was elevated to a new level.
Naruto had the sensation that his art of the fire god was evolving at a dizzying speed.
The next morning, the first rays of the sun penetrated through the window, bathing Naruto with its golden light.
Slowly, Naruto opened his clear and crystalline blue eyes. There was a glint in them that resembled the light of the stars.
He closed his fist and a resonant sound echoed from his palm. Ripples propagated through the air, as if a gentle breeze was passing through the cozy space of the room.
Simultaneously, Naruto used his mental strength to scan the surroundings. Before, he could only perceive the environment using the combination of the art of the wind god with his mental strength, but now, his mental strength alone was able to detect movements within a radius of one kilometer.
His mental strength had increased tremendously!
There was not a trace of pain in his mind, only a sensation of coolness. This indicated that his physical body was perfectly adapted to his amplified mental strength. This meant that his body had also improved considerably... And his art of the fire god seemed to have intensified as well...
He took a few deep breaths to calm his state of mind.
His martial strength, without a doubt, must have advanced to the 1st level of the Spiritual Martial State.
Although his true strength was much higher than that, this would be the strength he would demonstrate in relation to his cultivation level.
Naruto was satisfied with the progress he had made in the art of the fire god. He felt that he had reached a higher level in this art than in the art of the wind god. It was a significant achievement for him, and he was happy to have explored a new field of power.
As he contemplated his thoughts, Naruto noticed the seals of the kunai he had sealed on his arms earlier. "Ah, I completely forgot about this!" he slapped his forehead, frustrated for having left this matter aside.
However, he knew that he would have other opportunities to test the effectiveness of those seals. Naruto clenched his fists and a crystalline aura mixed with waves of spiritual strength emanating from his body. It was a powerful combination that demonstrated the strength he had accumulated over the years.
