After lunch, everyone needed to use the restroom.

Hana felt more energetic than ever, with even her old scars disappearing.

It was a miraculous effect!

This mainly happened due to the lizard meat, which is rich in vitality and has incredible healing power.

"How are you feeling, Hana?" Nawaki asked.

"Very good," Hana replied, her cheeks slightly rosy. Despite her stoic expression, she added, "Kushina said she will sleep with me." There was a hint of happiness in her tone, though it was subtle.

Her demeanor had a certain charm and cuteness.

"Really? I'm glad you two are getting along," Nawaki smiled and said, "Tonight I'll make another delicious meal. It's called spaghetti with ground beef. It's simple but very tasty."

"I bet it's dattebane," Kushina said, her smile expectant as she placed both hands on her cheeks, "Everything Nawaki makes is delicious~"

Hana mimicked Kushina's actions, placing her hands on her cheeks: "Delicious~"

Though she showed little emotion, it was somewhat comical. Nawaki ended up laughing, and Kushina joined in.

Later, Nawaki began preparing dinner.

He started early to make the spaghetti noodles from scratch. They were available for purchase, but none were in stock at the clan, so Nawaki opted to make them himself.

Making them wasn't difficult; it only required wheat flour, eggs, and a little salt.

Once the spaghetti was ready, Nawaki started by cutting a pound of lizard meat into very small pieces, perfect for mincing. Then, he took five kilos of sheep meat and ten kilos of rabbit meat.

Using the divine art of wind, he minced everything into ground meat.

The Senju Clan had hearty appetites, so this quantity was necessary to ensure leftovers for the next day's lunch.

Tsunade was in the kitchen. Although not skilled in cooking, she was eager to learn.

"Like this?" She asked as she finely chopped the onion.

Nawaki looked and was pleased to see the pieces were quite small, just as he preferred.

While some people like onions cut into larger pieces, for him, this size was ideal.

In total, 7 large onions were chopped.

Then, Tsunade peeled 15 garlic cloves and chopped two red peppers.

And that was the extent of Tsunade's help. Afterward, Nawaki took over, though Tsunade did the dishes once she finished.

The aroma was irresistible, and the appearance, with cheese melting beautifully on top, made for a mouthwatering sight.

The sound of saliva being swallowed was audible. Nawaki looked at Tsunade and laughed, "If you want, you can have some alcohol today. After all, tomorrow is the weekend."

Tsunade was contemplative. To say she didn't want to drink would be a lie; she had been drinking since she was a little girl, sneaking around her grandfather. However, she had avoided alcohol for some time. But, persuaded by Nawaki's words and the tantalizing food before her, she admitted she was very tempted.

Nawaki created two shadow clones to help bring everything into the living room.

Together, Tsunade and Nawaki carried the nearly 200 cm long glass dish.

It was enough food to feed several people, but for five, it might be 'too little'...

After tasting something so delicious, it was hard to imagine eating just a little, despite the potential consequences in the bathroom later...

Well, as Nawaki used to say in his past life, "Let my future self deal with it; now, I want to enjoy the present~"

When the large glass dish of spaghetti with minced meat and melting cheese was placed on the table, everyone swallowed several times.

It was as Nawaki had said: a simple dish to make, but not necessarily 'simple' in taste.

The aroma alone was enough to whet the appetite of everyone present to the fullest.

"Wow! It looks so delicious, dattebane~" Kushina, as always, was quick to comment.

"It does look delicious," Hana agreed, her red eyes fixated on the large glass dish of spaghetti with ground beef and cheese.

"It seems simple, but I suspect there's more to it," Mito observed, her appetite seemingly larger than ever, eager to eat a significant portion.

Nawaki had his shadow clone serve each person their desired amount and then was the first to eat after expressing gratitude.

As he ate, everyone watched him. It wasn't that they had never eaten noodles before, but they were curious about his reaction.

Seeing his eyes light up with satisfaction, they couldn't resist starting to eat as well.

"Delicious!" Tsunade was the first to speak up, "Simply the best ground beef noodles I've ever tasted!"

She opened the bottle of alcohol, poured a little into a small glass, and sipped it slowly.

Overwhelmed with pleasure, she exclaimed, "Oh my, just divine~"

The taste was addictive, especially when combined with the alcohol.

"Tsunade, let me have some of that too," Mito requested.

"Yes, yes," Tsunade replied, finishing her noodles before bringing Mito the bottle and a small glass.

Mito, after receiving her glass of alcohol, drank it following a bite, closing her eyes and moaning softly in delight.

It was the kind of moan one makes when tasting something exceptionally delicious.

Meanwhile, Kushina couldn't stop praising the dish as she continuously slurped the noodles.

It was indeed divine, particularly appealing to a youthful palate; spaghetti with ground beef could become an addictive meal.

Hana, not usually one for compliments and unsure how to express them, simply imitated Kushina and the others by praising the dish while eating heartily.

Nawaki, observing everyone's reactions, smiled contentedly. This was the reaction he had hoped for. He particularly enjoyed watching them savor the meal, their enjoyment genuine and not feigned, a testament to the dish's deliciousness.

Later, Nawaki returned to his room alone, feeling the need to visit the bathroom after the hearty meal.

This was only a minor inconvenience...

Afterward, he took a shower and went to bed.

That's when Tsunade arrived, her face noticeably rosier.

Nawaki wondered, 'Is this because of the alcohol?'

Her frequent visits to his room meant Nawaki wasn't surprised by her entrance without knocking.

By then, he had already lain down and entered the Hunting Dimension.

In the Hunting Dimension, Nawaki chose the first map instead of the second.

He had made copies of the book he received from his grandmother. In the Hunting Dimension, each shadow clone held a page from the book, detailing Uzumaki Clan techniques written by Mito.

There were 100 shadow clones, each reading different pages. Obviously, there were more pages, so these were just the initial ones he chose to focus on. Meanwhile, another 400 shadow clones hunted and sealed magical beasts.

Nawaki spent the next four days in the Hunting Dimension, studying sealing techniques and hunting on the first map.

While the orbs from the first map weren't as valuable as those on the second, his progress in sealing techniques was more important. He aimed to maximize the time difference and use shadow clones to study various techniques before absorbing the knowledge upon releasing the clones.

However, he planned to release the clones only after four days. This way, he would acquire all the knowledge at once. Upon waking, Nawaki intended to use the purple orbs to enhance his understanding, thus improving his mastery of sealing techniques.
