After instructing his three sons on the basics, Yuta began guiding them in chakra refinement.
First, the usually less energetic Yuto focused his will, and his chakra stirred.
A delighted expression lit his small face, and the yellow strands of his hair seemed to gain a brighter hue.
Yuta, observing Yuto's success, approached, gently ruffled his hair, and gestured for quiet.
Yuto nodded proudly, standing beside Yuta, watching his brothers diligently work on their own chakra.
Soon after, Ganta and Jiro also successfully refined their initial chakra.
However, Jiro didn't share the same elation. He looked at Yuta, a puzzled frown creasing his brow. "Dad, when I drew out my chakra, I felt something strange. It was like it could… move things, but I'm not sure what."
"Oh?" Yuta was taken aback. Could Jiro have awakened Magnet Release already?
Yuta picked up a metal screw. "Try this," he instructed Jiro.
Ganta and Yuto leaned in curiously, their eyes fixed on the screw in Yuta's hand.
They knew their own bloodline limits would eventually manifest, but they hadn't expected Jiro to be the first.
Concentrating on the screw, Jiro strained to recall the peculiar sensation he'd felt during refinement. He focused his chakra, attempting to influence the object in Yuta's grasp.
The screw in Yuta's fingers twitched, moving almost imperceptibly. Ganta and Yuto gasped softly, their gazes shifting to Jiro with a hint of envy.
"Huh! No more chakra." Though the screw had only shifted a few centimeters, it was undeniable. Jiro had indeed awakened Magnet Release.
But Yuta's expression wasn't one of joy. He looked at Jiro with a serious demeanor.
In the ninja world, early bloodline awakening often signified great potential. However, it could also be a dangerous omen.
A body unprepared for the bloodline's power could succumb, leading to a premature death. Itachi and Kimimaro were stark reminders of this risk.
Therefore, confirming Jiro's Magnet Release brought worry, not celebration. Yuta feared the early awakening would harm his son's young body.
He gave Ganta and Yuto further instructions, emphasizing the secrecy of what had just transpired. Then, he took Jiro to find Kiko.
Kiko looked up, a question in her eyes as she saw her husband and Jiro approaching, their faces somber.
Yuta should still be teaching the children chakra refinement. Why had it ended so abruptly?
Seeing Yuta's serious expression, Kiko's worry deepened. "What's wrong? Did something happen to Jiro?"
Jiro, sensing the shift in atmosphere, lowered his head, fearing he had done something wrong.
Yuta gently pulled Kiko aside, quietly explaining the situation and his concerns.
Kiko's eyes widened in disbelief. "Are you sure?"
"Hmm." Yuta's confirmation mirrored her growing anxiety. "What should we do?" she asked urgently.
"We can't be certain yet. I brought Jiro so you could examine him."
Her's voice held a hint of reproach as she addressed Yuta. "I told you not to rush their chakra training! If anything happens to Jiro, I'll never forgive you."
Her anger subsided, replaced by a gentle expression as she turned to her son, who stood looking lost. "Come here, Jiro, to Mommy. Daddy said you awakened your bloodline limit. Let Mommy take a look."
Despite her attempts at reassurance, a tremor in her's voice betrayed her deep unease.
This was her child. The thought of him suffering from a bloodline-related illness sent a chill down her spine.
What would she do if her fears were realized?
Fortunately, Kiko's thorough examination revealed no health issues for Jiro. However, she sternly cautioned him to only use his Magnet Release in dire circumstances.
Jiro's early awakening prompted Yuta to moderate his children's training pace. Ganta and his siblings were still young; there was no need to rush.
Physical training, however, remained a constant. Under Yuta's care and the subtle influence of the mysterious bead, any minor injuries the children sustained would heal rapidly.
Soon, the eleventh annual enlightenment arrived. Ten years had passed since Yuta had acquired the bead.
He had transformed from an ignorant youth into a father of five.
Surrounded by his wife and three sons, Yuta reiterated, "Focus solely on controlling your chakra. Nothing else. And remember, what happens today remains our secret."
Kiko echoed his instructions, knowing Yuta's unique ability was crucial for their family's future. Such caution was necessary.
"Let's begin." As Yuta spoke, Kiko, Ganta, Jiro, and Yuto felt a sudden clarity, their minds sharper than ever. Training obstacles dissolved effortlessly.
The following morning, Yuta and Kiko awoke simultaneously. They exchanged knowing smiles as they observed their three sons sleeping peacefully on the floor.
Too young to grasp the nuances of shinobi potential, the enlightenment had seamlessly resolved their chakra control issues.
Emerging from their heightened state the previous night, they had seen their parents still meditating and had simply fallen asleep nearby.
After carrying the sleeping children back to their beds, they found the nanny had already arrived.
Living close by and having their own families, both nannies returned to their homes each night, a system that offered Yuta and Kiko a degree of privacy.

"Now, try to channel your chakra into this paper. This will help us determine your chakra nature."
Yuta guided Ganta, Jiro, and Yuto in their chakra attribute detection.
As anticipated, Ganta and Jiro both manifested dual affinities for wind and earth. Yuto, however, inherited Yuta's Wind and Earth, along with Kiko's Water affinity.
Yuto's face lit up with joy at having three chakra natures, one more than his brothers.
Despite being the first to refine chakra, his younger twin had been the first to awaken his bloodline. Though Yuto had remained silent, a flicker of disappointment had been present.
Yuto was aware of his lack of Ganta's boldness and Jiro's sharp intellect, sometimes feeling like a burden. This unique attribute offered him a sense of purpose, a way to contribute more significantly to his family's future.
Yuta perceived Yuto's inner thoughts. Aware of his son's sensitive nature, he refrained from voicing them directly, lest he further erode Yuto's fragile self-esteem.
Seeing Yuto's genuine happiness at his additional chakra nature, Yuta offered sincere praise, which filled Yuto with excitement and renewed confidence for the rest of the day.
"Alright, hurry home now. Today is your younger brother and sister's full moon celebration. We need to get ready."
"Oh!" Yuta watched his three sons cheer and rush off, a deep sense of satisfaction with his current life settling within him.
