Around one in the afternoon, Nawaki, having just finished lunch, felt something unusual happening to him. Previously, the energy from the weak red light orbs only strengthened and nourished his body. Now, he sensed an impending evolution.
Rushing to his room, he excused himself to Tsunade, Kushina, and Granny Mito, claiming he needed to use the bathroom. Once inside his room, he locked the door.
His blood seemed to boil, an ostensibly impossible phenomenon, and his body brimmed with life force, signaling a transformative change. Confused but focused, Nawaki realized that this phenomenon was not documented in any ninja world study he had encountered.
Feeling an urgent need for energy, as even his chakra was being consumed, he mentally summoned orbs of dim red and purple light. As the energy from these orbs dispersed throughout his body, his skin, muscles, tendons, bones, marrow, organs, the 12 meridians, and the Ren and Du meridians began to vibrate at an unusual frequency, accelerating rapidly.
Nawaki noted that the barriers within his body, separating various states, were dissolving, refining previously unrefined corners. This was a comprehensive refinement of his entire body. However, as the energy dwindled, the vibrational process began to stall.
Reacting swiftly, Nawaki consumed five more orbs of faint red and purple light, eager to seize this rare opportunity for transformation. He intuitively knew that halting the process could mean missing a unique chance for advancement.
During this time, a dark mist emanated from Nawaki's body, resembling the smoke from a burning tire, rendering him nearly invisible as he seemed to merge with the smoke. Sunlight filtering through the window pierced his obscured form but did not dissipate the smoke.
Oblivious to these external changes, Nawaki was entirely absorbed in the refinement process. He used a total of one hundred and twenty orbs of dim red light and twenty purple orbs to complete the transformation.
Eventually, Nawaki opened his eyes, the process finally complete.
Seeing the dark smoke still enveloping his body, Nawaki attempted to disperse it, but without success. Puzzled, he waved his hand, inadvertently slicing a vase of flowers on the bedside table with a shadow-like blade.
Nawaki: "..."
Suppressing the urge to shout, he got out of bed and noticed the bed was covered in a layer of gray and black residue.
'Calm down, breathe...' he told himself, closing his eyes.
Upon reopening them with a calmer mindset, the black mist still shrouded him. To reassure himself, he touched every part of his body, relieved to find it physically normal. His vision even seemed enhanced.
In the bathroom, Nawaki nearly broke the door handle entering. First, he showered, washing away remnants of skin and impurities. Unable to see his body clearly in its current state, he scrubbed multiple times for thoroughness.
Then, sinking into the bathtub, Nawaki used a purple orb, hoping to enhance his mental faculties while his mind power scanned his body. He discovered that the dark mist filled his entire body, with dense and powerful energy inside.
Feeling slightly relieved at the possibility of returning to normal, Nawaki started to evaluate the significant increase in his power.
About two hours later, the fog began to recede, revealing his body again. Opening his eyes, he saw his milk-white hands and finally felt relaxed.
But then…
His eyes sparkled as he clenched his fists, and the dark mist reappeared, enveloping his hands with a formidable force!
'So powerful!' he thought. While unsure of his exact strength, he knew he was significantly stronger.
'But what exactly is this? It's not quite like Sis's ability,' he pondered.
Additionally, the foreboding feeling he had experienced was almost gone. 'Does this mean the danger I sensed is no longer as threatening?'
Aware that he couldn't go out in his current state, especially with training planned with Mikoto, Nawaki decided to focus on using purple orbs and understanding his newfound power.

An hour later, Nawaki emerged from his room dressed in training clothes. In the courtyard of the Senju complex, Tsunade was sitting and enjoying tea, apparently with Granny Mito.
"Finally out," Tsunade remarked as she noticed him. "Were you giving birth in the bathroom?" she joked.
Mito nearly spat out her tea.
Nawaki tripped and hopped on one foot, nearly falling over, his expression twisting in embarrassment as he steadied himself and shot Tsunade a perplexed look.
"What's it? Did I guess right?" Tsunade chuckled.
"Tsunade, be more ladylike," Mito chided. "You should ask more discreetly. Can't you see how embarrassed you've made your little brother?"
"Oh, so how should I have asked?" Tsunade inquired, genuinely interested.
"He's already through puberty," Mito explained with a gentle smile. "He's discovering new sensations. Look, his hair is still wet."
"Oh, so what's the appropriate approach in such situations?" Tsunade probed.
"At these times, it's best to feign ignorance to avoid embarrassing the boy," Mito advised with her usual gentle demeanor. "Or ask subtly, like: 'Were you drowning the goose in the bathtub?'"
"Oh, Granny, you get it~!" Tsunade seemed enlightened and gave Mito a thumbs up. "This way it's not embarrassing, right?"
"Exactly. He can just pretend he doesn't understand, and no one feels awkward," Mito added, taking another sip of her tea.
Tsunade turned to Nawaki, who, despite his initial awkward expression, was now smiling slightly. "What do you think, Nawaki? Is Granny Mito right?"
"Yes, but I prefer to say that I was taking justice into my own hands!" Nawaki declared with a sense of mock justice.
Mito couldn't contain her laughter at her grandson's brazen remark, but in doing so, she spat out her tea again.
Tsunade, initially taken aback and slightly embarrassed, soon joined in the laughter, amused by her little brother's audacious face.
Shifting the topic, Nawaki casually asked, "By the way, did Mikoto come?"
"Yes, she's at the training ground with Kushina," Tsunade responded.
"Oh, I see." Nawaki waved at them. "I'm going to check on them. See you later~"
