Throughout his stay until his expulsion, Nawaki hunted gray lizards. These creatures were tougher and more formidable than the ones he was accustomed to hunting daily, but they were just more challenging, not impossible.
Ten gray lizards...
It might seem like a small number, considering he could now endure two days in the hunting dimension before succumbing to death. However, the lizards were not easy targets, and Nawaki, at his current level of strength, couldn't hunt them more quickly.
Yet, he was certain of one thing: upon his departure, he would be able to train a new skill, likely related to the lizards' extraordinary regeneration ability on the second map.
Returning to his room, Nawaki, slightly sweaty, lay on the bed. Despite spending two days in the hunting dimension, he appeared as though he hadn't been away for long.
"I promised myself not to meditate, but…" Nawaki thought, considering that even if he didn't spend the entire night in meditation, he might still master a new art.
He closed his eyes and visualized the gray crystal balls. Within them was an enigmatic gray substance that continuously divided and amalgamated, transitioning between solid, liquid, and gaseous states. Selecting just one, he began to use it.
The ball transformed into a blast of gray mist that entered Nawaki's body, unleashing a strange and powerful energy. His cells began to vibrate and subsequently started to tear apart. Nawaki's face instantly turned pale as immense pain caused him to sweat profusely, his sweat tinged with traces of blood.
Such divine art!
The experience was horrendous, far from user-friendly. Despite having died several times, Nawaki had never felt pain as severe as this. It was a disruption at the cellular level, an agony permeating every part of his body. He felt engulfed by pain, unable to sense anything else.
Gradually, his cells began to repair themselves. Information about the regeneration god's art surfaced in his mind. Nawaki rapidly consumed numerous purple spheres, which triggered his cells to oscillate between rupture and repair.
A unique life force emerged in Nawaki's body, marking the beginning of his understanding of the art of regeneration. It was rudimentary learning but immensely valuable to him.
Destruction and life — this divine art was of a very high level, and Nawaki could only grasp a fraction of it for now.
Hours later, Nawaki slowly opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and smiled, signifying a newfound strength and resilience.
Although Nawaki mastered the art of regeneration, the process of repairing and destroying his cells fortified his body. His eyes sparkled with the realization that he could now slowly recover from non-life-threatening injuries.
This time, he gained a significant advantage. The art of regeneration greatly increased his chances of survival. It arrived just in time for the upcoming war, allowing him to navigate the battlefield with even greater ease.
Moreover, his state of crisis had practically vanished. While it still lingered, it was no longer as intense as before. Contemplating this, Nawaki's smile broadened.
Now, alongside the arts of wind and fire, Nawaki possessed the art of regeneration, enhancing his survivability. This was akin to what his sister had awakened on her own. He planned to share this art with her when possible, to further improve her regenerative abilities.

The next morning, Nawaki was roused early by a knock on his bedroom door. Opening it, he found his sister, Tsunade, clad in a ninja outfit. Her attire included a dark green, high-collared vest with chest pockets, a long-sleeved dark blue shirt under the vest, and matching dark blue pants. While she normally eschewed a ninja headband, today she wore it over her hair, tying it at the back, and her hair was styled in a low double ponytail to keep it from becoming unruly in the wind.
Though the ninja uniform concealed some of her remarkable curves, its form-fitting nature made it challenging to completely hide her striking appearance. She remained a beautiful blonde-haired woman with stunning curves.
"Nawaki, this will be your uniform when we go out. Even though you don't have a ninja headband yet, it's important to wear this properly," Tsunade said firmly, handing him a set of clothes similar to hers, but without the pocketed vest.
Nawaki quickly accepted the outfit. He invited her in and began changing in front of her, ready to embrace his new role.
Well, Nawaki wasn't concerned about changing in front of Tsunade; she had seen everything before.
"Ah yes, I've learned a new secret art," Nawaki suddenly declared.
"Really?" Tsunade, who had been patiently waiting while he changed, became excited at his announcement. "Tell me, Nawaki, what kind of art is it?"
"Art of regeneration~" Nawaki replied with a pleased smile, enjoying the expression on Tsunade's face as she learned about his new skill. It was an ability she had developed on her own, perhaps due to her lineage, similar to how Nawaki had acquired the Dark Mist art.
"How did you acquire it?" Tsunade asked, curious to know if his method mirrored hers.
"New map in my hunting space," Nawaki disclosed openly. "I unlocked it by defeating the boss of the previous map. Afterward, when I fell asleep, this new option appeared. The beasts on this map are different from those on the first..."
Nawaki began detailing his experiences on the new map. From his descriptions, even the weakest wild beasts there possessed the strength of a jonin ninja. Although more dangerous and challenging for orb collection, the rewards were significantly greater.
"Here, try one of these and see if you can enhance your regeneration art," Nawaki said, offering her a gray crystal calmly.
Tsunade hesitated but accepted it when she noticed Nawaki's eyes shifting from sadness to happiness. 'So easy to read...' she thought affectionately, yet wished he would be more self-serving and use these benefits for himself until they were nearly depleted. While she enjoyed the thrill of gaining strength, a desire driven by her wish to protect Nawaki, she also hoped he would prioritize his own advancement.
"Thanks, I'll try it now," Tsunade said, sitting on his bed to consume the gray crystal. She then took the purple orbs she had, which Nawaki had previously given her in abundance.
Upon using them, her understanding of the art of regeneration deepened significantly, surpassing her initial knowledge. After a few minutes, Tsunade opened her eyes and sighed in amazement.
"Magnificent…" she uttered, looking at Nawaki. "Just as you thought, it enhanced my regeneration art and even strengthened my body."
Her eyes sparkled anew. Nawaki had mentioned obtaining ten such crystals. Knowing his previous success with fire and wind crystals, and realizing his mastery in those arts had peaked, she was pleased he found a new path to increase his strength.
"Yes, anyway," Nawaki said with his characteristic smile, "shall we leave?"
"Yes, let's go," Tsunade agreed, rising from the bed.
