Danzo, upon realizing that the cursed seals of his elite Root Anbu members had vanished overnight, was engulfed in anxiety and fear.
He couldn't fathom what had happened to them. These were formidable operatives, capable of inflicting significant damage, yet they had disappeared without a trace...
Such an act seemed like the handiwork of someone of Mito's caliber, but Danzo was certain that Mito had remained within the Senju Compound. He had been monitoring her movements from a distance, albeit cautiously, ensuring not to get too close.
His observations led him to conclude that she wasn't responsible for this mysterious occurrence. This raised the question: who was responsible?
Considering that Nawaki and Tsunade, the Senju siblings, had stayed in the Senju Compound until now, and given that the disappearance of the cursed seals coincided with the annihilation of the Anbu, Danzo had to reluctantly dismiss any suspicions he had of them.
This left him grappling with the task of identifying the true culprit. The thought that he might be the next target unnerved him. Whoever was capable of eliminating over a hundred elite Anbu members posed a direct threat to his life.
With each passing moment, Danzo's anxiety intensified as he struggled to unravel the mystery and safeguard himself against a potentially powerful adversary.

At school, Nawaki planned to share packed lunches with Hikari, Mikoto, and Kushina, just as he had done previously.
"Nawaki... Can I really accept this?" Hikari hesitated. Though visibly delighted, she felt it was too precious of a gesture, considering she wasn't in the same position as Kushina, who lived in the Senju compound, or Mikoto, Nawaki's fiancée.
The shy girl with dark blue hair fidgeted with her fingers, anxiously awaiting Nawaki's response.
"Of course, you can," Nawaki reassured her. "I value you a lot. I see you as a friend. Am I wrong in thinking that? Am I the only one who feels this way?" A hint of sadness tinged his voice.
Hikari, flustered and overwhelmed, glanced at her best friend Mikoto for support. Seeing Mikoto's gesture indicating that Hikari should handle the situation herself, she finally mustered the courage to respond to Nawaki.
"I-I like y-you! ..." Her face flushed red with embarrassment, realizing how her words sounded. She quickly added, "I mean, I like being your friend. I hope that's not a problem?"
"It's not a problem at all," Nawaki replied, his lips curving into a sly smile, his eyes taking on an almond shape.
His charming smile had a profound effect on Hikari, leaving her simultaneously elated and panicked, unsure of how to react or what to say next.
"I hope we can continue to be friends," Nawaki said, giving her a reassuring blink.
Hearing Nawaki's words, Hikari's spirits visibly lifted. Her large, sparkling white eyes shone with the brightness of moonlight as she gazed at him.
"Really?" she asked, her tone shifting from shy to more animated. She felt as if she had taken a significant step forward in their friendship, her usual shyness momentarily forgotten: "I'd like that too..."
Her voice trailed off softly, tinged with a hint of shyness.
Nawaki, charmed by her pink, flushed cheeks, chuckled and gently touched Hikari's cheek, catching her by surprise.
"N-Nawaki?" Hikari looked up at him, her expression filled with astonishment.
"Sorry, couldn't resist, you're just too cute~" Nawaki teased, causing her shyness to intensify.
Mikoto and Kushina laughed upon seeing Hikari's reaction, which only made her blush deepen.
Following the playful exchange, Nawaki distributed the lunchboxes.
Both Mikoto and Hikari eagerly anticipated lunchtime, holding onto the lunchboxes Nawaki had given them.
Thankfully, the lunchboxes were sealed, as Nawaki had taught them, to preserve the food's warmth and prevent the aroma from escaping.
They knew that if the smell of the lunchboxes permeated the classroom, it would be difficult to focus on anything other than the tantalizing scent, their stomachs growling like drums during a festival.
"Be careful when eating, dattebane. It can have quite an effect on your bathroom trips after eating this delicious lunchbox dattebane..." Kushina warned in her cute voice, still remembering her own intense experience in the bathroom after eating.
While she felt rejuvenated afterwards, the bathroom visit itself had been rather 'eventful.'
"That intense?" Hikari and Mikoto reacted with a mix of apprehension and curiosity.
Their previous experience with the rabbit meat had been similar, but not as dramatic.
Nawaki realized that unlike the direct strengthening from meditating with orbs, consuming the flesh of magical beasts led to the expulsion of impurities during digestion, often resulting in dramatic bathroom experiences.

During their lunch break at noon, Nawaki and the three girls found a secluded spot to enjoy their meal together.
After a short walk, they reached an area surrounded by tall grass. Nawaki skillfully used his wind abilities to trim the grass in the area where they planned to sit.
Surrounded by trees and the high grass, they were well-hidden, allowing them to eat undisturbed.
The ninjas assigned to follow Hikari and Mikoto were deceived by shadow clones that Nawaki had created to impersonate the girls. The ninja assigned to Mikoto was from the Uchiha clan, and the one watching over Hikari belonged to the Hyuuga clan.
Nawaki was aware of the ongoing developments within the Hyuuga Clan, particularly their plans to arrange a marriage for Hikari with their next clan leader. Gathering such information was straightforward for him, thanks to shadow clones operating in Dark Mist mode near the main clan leaders.
Understanding the significance of these clans in this world, he kept himself informed of any plans that might impact him or those close to him.
"Ahhh~ It's divine~" Mikoto exclaimed, her face lighting up with a wide smile as she savored a piece of the sheep meat.
"Very delicious indeed..." Hikari added softly, unable to conceal her delight in the meal.
"Isn't it?" Kushina chimed in, sounding almost as if she had a hand in its preparation. "Nawaki is the best cook in the dattebane world~!"
"As long as you all enjoy it, I'm happy," Nawaki responded, smiling gently, his cheeks naturally flushed with pleasure.

After their ninja classes, an announcement was made that the graduation test would be held in a week, just a few days following Nawaki's birthday.
Most of the students were already 12 years old, with only about 4 or 5 being 11 years old. Kushina, too, had turned 12 years old.
It was already the 7th of August, and Kushina had celebrated her 12th birthday on the 10th of July. Mikoto's birthday was a month earlier, on June 1st, marking her 12th year as well.
Nawaki had been invited to Mikoto's birthday, where she had given him her second kiss. She had shyly asked him to speak in private, and once alone, confessed, "Nawaki, I really like you."
"Of course, I like you too," Nawaki had replied, tenderly stroking her cheek before leaning in for a kiss.
After the kiss, which lasted a bit longer this time, they returned to the birthday celebration. Mikoto's face was flushed with embarrassment, even more so than Hikari's had been, but she was unmistakably happy.
As they finished eating, Kushina, Mikoto, and Hikari simultaneously realized they needed to visit the bathroom.
As they rose to leave, Nawaki, understanding the reason, said, "You can go, I'll take care of everything here."
"Thank you," they responded, hurrying off to the restroom. Fortunately, the ladies' room had multiple toilets, a relief given their urgent need.
