Upon opening his eyes, an innocent smile formed on Naruto's lips, despite the cold sweat and the trembling in his body, a consequence of a recent death surrounded by countless beasts.

Even having experienced death, Naruto managed to decimate several creatures using Susanoo, among other techniques. Engrossed in his thoughts, he gradually stopped shaking and headed to the bathroom.

A few minutes later, Naruto returned, invigorated by a hot bath. The latent vigor in his real body further enhanced his allure, even though there was no one around to admire such a sight.

Then, comfortably settled in his bed and using the wind to dry his hair, he cast a glance at his mental space. There, he could clearly see the 20 crystal orbs of the Divine Art Tsukuyomi.

Employing the first orb, slightly larger than the others and possibly originating from Shisui's eye, Naruto allowed the knowledge contained in it to infiltrate his mind. Immediately, he activated the special purple orb of Mortal Evolution State level 5.

It was his first time using such an advanced purple orb, causing him to gasp in surprise. The effectiveness of this orb far surpassed many of the previous orbs he had used, even rivaling those of the Sovereigns of the second map.

Gradually, Naruto absorbed the knowledge contained in the crystal orb. When he finally opened his eyes, they shone with even greater intensity than before.

Despite his satisfaction, Naruto did not want to waste a high-quality purple orb. So, he decided to use another crystal orb.

Minutes turned into hours, and eventually, the effect of the purple orb wore off. However, during this interval, Naruto managed to absorb the power of fifteen crystals of the Divine Art Tsukuyomi.

"... 16%, I would say?" Naruto murmured to himself.

He found that it seemed to be 15 to 16 times easier to use any Sharingan-related technique he had employed before. Furthermore, he felt he could explore other related abilities, but chose not to test them at home...

Upon creating a shadow clone, it reported: "Besides the more intense glow in the eyes, there was no noticeable optical change."

Naruto pondered this observation, then generated more shadow clones, distributing orbs among them.

One thing was undeniable: his genjutsu had significantly progressed. His mental power had tremendously increased, approaching the Planetary State.

He had practically acquired the ability to create tangible illusions.

One thing was indisputable... Naruto was on the brink of immortality. Even in the face of death, he did not perish. However, there were restrictions that he had not yet explored.

Everything was dazzlingly surprising. Naruto felt as if something deep within him was constantly changing, but he could not precisely discern the nature of this transformation. It happened that, somehow, he felt increasingly unimpeded.

It was as if he had been shackled before, and now he had managed to free himself from these chains. However, he still felt that he had not completely emancipated himself...

All of this was extremely peculiar. Why did he feel this way? It was a question that he himself seemed not to understand, but it did not change the reality that he really felt this way.

Sometime later, Naruto gave up thinking and began to absorb what was left of the crystal orbs of the Divine Art Tsukuyomi, while using another purple orb of the same grade as the previous one.

Several minutes passed, and Naruto finally reopened his eyes. The instant he did, an overwhelming pressure emanated from him, catching several shadow clones in the room off guard. The crushing pressure hit them and they instantly disintegrated.

Naruto: "..."

Simultaneously with the surprise, a sharp pain began to pulse in his head, a consequence of the abrupt assimilation of such a large amount of knowledge.

Fortunately, he had already activated a purple orb and its effect was in full operation, otherwise, the pain would be unbearably more intense.

Forced to close his eyes to process the knowledge more efficiently, Naruto felt grateful that all this referred to the knowledge of only one single god art.

"Ahhh, finally over~" Naruto exhaled a sigh of relief, followed by a contagious laughter.

Unintentionally, he managed to progress by doing this. Perhaps even more than he would have progressed had he followed the conventional path. It felt as if he had reached the pinnacle of mastery of God's Regeneration Art.

By using the Super Divine Regeneration Saga Art, the result would be even more impressive than the previous ones.

With the effect of the purple orb beginning to fade, Naruto stretched and headed to the bathroom.

Observing his reflection in the mirror, he noticed that even after using the Divine Art Tsukuyomi, his ocular appearance had not undergone any significant change, although his eyes were bluer.

"Well, maybe it's better this way..." Naruto murmured to himself. He didn't know how he would feel if it was similar to the conventional Sharingan.

After relieving himself, Naruto returned to the main room. Feeling a growing hunger, he headed to the kitchen, but not before creating some shadow clones and distributing red orbs from the Mortal Evolution State among them.

Suddenly, Naruto's eyes transformed, activating his Sennin Mode.

With this change, his eyes filled with tears.

In the Torii Seal dimension, Kushina and Minato also seemed to sense something strange. They hugged each other upon seeing Naruto in tears.

With a choked voice, Kushina murmurs: "Minato, be honest with me, did you foresee this happening when you asked Naruto not to kill 'him'?"

"Yes, but it was just a possibility, after all, he didn't do the same with his best friend?" Minato replied, with a rhetorical question.

Kushina nodded. She had also heard the whole story and therefore agreed with what Minato stated.

"Sensei..." Minato sighed, observing Naruto from within the seal.

Naruto managed to compose himself a few minutes later. Although he wanted to leave at that exact moment, he held back. He realized it was just a sign, perhaps a simple 'hi'...
