  After killing the elite Jōnin, Shin used Yomotsu Hirasaka to return to Mikoto and Kushina.

  Mikoto sighed in relief when she saw them.

  "Kushina, what's wrong?"

  She noticed Kushina's pale fad worried she might be injured.

  Kushina gred at Shin, then shook her head at Mikoto.

  "I'm fine. Just a bit queasy after seeing that... mess."

  "Shin, Kato Dan got away," Mikoto reported.

  Shin looked in the dire Dan had fled. Despite his injuries, the elite Jōnin was still fast.

  "Let him run. Some people run in circles," Shin said cryptically.

  He then turned his attention to the elite Jōnin fighting Tsunade.

  Tsunade had the upper hand, but the Jōnin was holding his own with his superior experience.

  "Too slow, Tsunade. Let me help."

  "Fsh Ssh!"

  Without using Yomotsu Hirasaka, relying solely on his speed, Shin appeared o the Jōnin in a fsh. His Kusanagi sword blurred, too fast for even Tsuo see.

  When Shihed his sword, the Jōnin colpsed, eight fatal wounds appearing on his body.

  Tsunade gasped. It had takehan a sed, and Shin had nded eight blows in that time.

  "You have to be decisive in battle. If you fought like that, I'd finish my dinner before you finished your oppo," Shin said, half-teasing, half-boasting.

  Tsunade eechless. Was that really ae Jōnin he had just killed?

  Elite Jōnin were veterans, the stro forces in each vilge. Killing one was no easy feat.

  But Shin had do in under a sed.

  And his speed... even she couldn't have dodged that.

  "Shin, are you a monster? How are you s?" Tsunade asked, bewildered.

  "Monster? What are you talking about? I'm a genius. A hardw genius."

  Shin looked indignant.

  "I have talent, I work ten times harder than anyone else, and I have cheats. Why wouldn't I be strong?"

  Tsuared at him, speechless. He had a point. But what did he mean by "cheats?"

  "What about Kato Dan and the other elite Jōnin?"

  Tsunade decided to ighe "cheats" ent for now.

  "The other elite Jōnin is dead. Dan is still running."

  "He got away?" Tsunade frowned.

  "I said he's still running, not that he got away. Some people run in circles, remember?"

  Shin activated Yomotsu Hirasaka, opening a portal in front of them. Kato Dan stumbled out of the portal.

  He stared at Shin and Tsunade, his burned face torted in fusion.

  As he had been fleeing, a portal had suddenly appeared in front of him. He had been too close to stop and had run straight into it.

  "Not so fast, Dan. Try running now. If you escape, I'll admit defeat."

  Shin smirked. With the Mind's Eye of Kagura and Yomotsu Hirasaka, there was no way Dan could escape.

  Dan was in a tough spot. He couldn't use his Spirit Transformation Jutsu here.

  If he did, he'd be killed instantly. It was a teique meant for stealth and surprise attacks.

  "Well, I'm done pying with you." Shin unched a Rasengan, pierg Dan's chest. Dan didn't even have time to react.

  This firmed Shin's suspis. He could take on Kage-level oppos now and kill elite Jōnin with ease.

  Even Kage couldn't kill elite Jōnin so effortlessly. Shin could do it because of his speed.

  Speed was unmatched. Even a Kage, caught off guard, could be killed by Shin in an instant.

  "Shin, why did you kill him?"

  Tsunade looked at Dan's lifeless body.

  "No point keeping him alive. Don't tell me you were hoping to use him as evidence against Danzō? That's pointless."

  "Why?"

  Tsunade had indeed been thinking that. She wanted Danzō to pay for this.

  Shin didn't know how to expin. Why? Because even with evidence, Hiruzen wouldn't punish Danzō.

  Besides, Dan was a Root Member. Knowing Danzō, he would have impnted some kind of safeguard in Dan. He wouldn't be able to reveal anything.

  "You think you take down the Hokage's advisor with just Kato Dan? And do you really think he'd be able to say anything? Even if everythi perfectly, would the Sandaime actually punish Danzō?"

  Shin's questions stumped Tsunade. Even with evidence, knowieacher, he wouldn't do anything to Danzō.

  "Let's dispose of the bodies and pretend this never happened," Shin said.

  "But the Sandaime approved their involvement. Won't he ask about them?" Mikoto asked.

  "Mikoto, you really believed Dan's lies? I guarantee you, the Sandaime never sent him to help us," Shin said with a smile.

  The Sandaime wouldn't send reinforts for a k mission. Dan had been lying.

  "Tsunade, you realized that tht?" Shin looked at her.

  "Ahem, yes, of course."

  Tsunade blushed slightly. Whether she had actually realized it or not was another matter.

  Shihe Fireball Jutsu to ie the bodies, leaving no trace. Then they returo Konoha.

  Shin opened a Yomotsu Hirasaka portal, and they appeared he vilge.

  "That Space-Time Ninjutsu cover such a distahat's ve," Tsunade remarked.

  "By the way, where did you learn that Jutsu?"

  "It's my Mangekyō Sharingan ability," Shin poi his eyes.

  Tsunade opened her mouth, wanting to ask about his Sharingan, but hesitated.

  It robably a sensitive topic.

  Shin noticed her hesitation.

  "Want to know about my Sharingan?"

  "Yes, but if you don't want to talk about it, I won't pry."

  "I'll tell you everything whe back."

  Shin wasn't pnning on hiding it. If he were, he wouldn't have used his Mangekyō Sharingan in the first pce.
