August 7th.
Luka opened his eyes, noticing that he was lying beside his little sister, Maki.
Next to Maki was his mother, Kushina.
She was sleeping deeply.
And, sitting in a chair near the bed, holding Kushina's hand, was Minato.
"Shh!" Noticing that he opened his eyes, Minato said in a gentle tone: "Don't wake your mommy, she worked very hard and is very tired."
"Ma-ma?" He babbled, holding his little feet.
"That's right." Minato smiled: "Mama needs to rest."
It was possible to see the deep dark circles under Minato's eyes.
He spent the entire night without closing his eyes, he barely blinked the whole night.
Luka closed his eyes, pretending to go back to sleep.
In his mind, however, he could barely contain his emotions.
'It worked!' He thought: 'I didn't expect to be capable of changing anything, but I really did it!'
Despite his little strength, he knew the original plot, knew that the cloth used to cover Naruto, but in this case, Maki, could end up full of explosive tags.
He had to use his [Dissolve] ability to the fullest for it to work, since he couldn't use [Predation]. For this to work, he used two clones at the same time.
Fortunately, it worked!
He became emotional when he received the clone's feedback.
With the third clone, he didn't really expect to manage to expose Obito when he attacked him; in fact, he expected that, with that, he would at least manage to expose a little of his ability to become intangible. But, the result was a little better, exposing his sharingan.
There was no secret mission or anything like that as a reward for what he did, but, if he had to say, the greatest reward was having managed to change the game and make his parents return home safe and sound with his little sister.

One week later.
The dragonfly mimicry was sealed away forever.
How could it not be?
After exposing himself when he used the clones to save his mother, father and little sister, using that again was out of the question.
But, it wasn't easy to get a new form to allow his clones to leave the house.
Although some mosquitoes tried to bite him, only to meet a sad end... It didn't result in him managing to transform into them.
And, a normal transformation wouldn't fool someone like Kushina and Minato.
Well, it's not like he hadn't improved in the last few days.
Thanks to his mother's nutrient-rich breast milk, he continued improving.
After finishing being breastfed, Kushina made him burp.
"Minato, hold Luka and give me Maki." Kushina asked.
"Yes, dear." He replied, handing her Maki who was in his arms, then picking up Luka.
Stretching out his chubby hands, Luka touched Minato's face, reaching his hair and pulling it with a little strength, making him pretend to feel pain, but he had a silly fatherly smile on his face.
...
Later, after being placed in the crib to sleep, Luka used 'Predation' as always on the stored breast milk.
[Restoration (Bronze) evolved into Restoration (Silver) Lv.1!]
[+454 EXP]
[+45 Points]
[You leveled up!]
[Bonus: +700 Points]
'Finally level 4.' He thought: 'Status.'
「[Luka Namikaze]
Species: Slime
Title: None
[Level: 4] – [116/4,000]
Points: 2,230」
Seeing the amount of points he had managed to accumulate, he thought: 'It seems like a lot, but with this amount, I won't be able to buy anything useful for myself right now. Should I try my luck one more time in the lottery?'
With that amount of points, he could try 22x [Lottery Spin].
'Shop.'
Looking at the list of items, before thinking about the lottery, he looked at the items that weren't useful to him to exclude them, and who knows, maybe something useful could appear in their place.
The [Magic towel that cleans any stain] wasn't very useful right now, but it was undeniable that it could be in the future.
'Alright, I'll buy one, then, exclude it.'
[-300 Points]
[The item: [Magic towel that cleans any stain] was deposited into your [Stomach (Storage Space)]]
After doing that, he could later try to analyze the towel with [Predation] and manufacture more of them, so... he excluded that item from the shop.
The instant he excluded it, a new item appeared in the shop:
[Dragon Lacrima (Random) – (Unknown Rank)] – A Lacrima from a Dragon that grants artificial Dragon Slayer magic to individuals when implanted. 200,000 points
It was double the value of the Devil's Pieces. But, how to say this? Even though he felt it was expensive, he simply couldn't click the option to 'exclude this item'.
Even if it's from a Random Dragon, it's still from a dragon.
Is it worth it?
Maybe...
For now, he wasn't going to touch that.
[Hair Growth] – A potion that makes hair grow rapidly. 200 Points
That was an item that left him wondering whether he should exclude it or not.
In the end, he chose to leave it.
'Okay, I made a decision!'
[Shop]
Current Points: 1,930
[Quantity: 1 Lottery Spin] ➝ [9 Lottery Spins]
[Buy now]]
Without hesitation, he clicked on [Buy now].

'Not bad, not bad at all!'
There are other questionable items, but not necessarily bad ones.
The most useless item there was the Cloud Forehead Protector.
'System, I want to learn [Heavy Aura Strike] now.'
[Alright!]
[You learned: [Heavy Aura Strike (Silver Lv.1 – 00%)]!]
'Very good, I feel like I'm heading in the right direction.' He smiled, thinking: 'I can't wait to be old enough to go to school.'
