  After leaving Konoha, Shin took out the missioails. It tained information about the missing-nin they were hunting.

  The missing-nin's name was Kawada Heiwa. His strength was at the level of ae in. He had defected after actally killing a rade during a heated argument.

  He had been gone for half a year and was suspected to be hiding in the Land of Whirlpools.

  Shin paused when he saw that. Kushina, peering over his shoulder, also froze.

  "We're going to the Land of Whirlpools?" Kushina asked, looking up at Shin.

  "Yeah, I wonder what it's like now."

  Mikoto looked at them. She khe Land of Whirlpools was their former home, a pce filled with both good and bad memories.

  "When we left, I didn't think we'd ever go back."

  Shin wasn't oo dwell oimentality.

  "We'll have to take a ship. Do you get seasick, Mikoto?"

  "I've never been on a ship before. I don't know," Mikoto replied.

  Kushina's face paled. She suddenly remembered her unfortuendency to get seasick.

  " we not take a ship?" she asked weakly.

  "Sure, you always run there on water."

  Shin offered an alternative. It wasirely a joke. The Land of Whirlpools wasn't that far from the Land of Fire. It was doable.

  "Okay, let's run to the Land of Whirlpools!" Kushina decred, g her hands.

  Shin shrugged. He didn't mind.

  "But before we go, we have a tail to deal with. I don't like being followed. e on out."

  Shin's voice turned cold.

  The Root Member hiding in the shadows was startled. 'Discovered? How did he know?''

  Since he had been found out, there was no point hiding. As ae Jōnin, he didn't o rely on sneak attacks to deal with three in.

  "An Anbu?" Kushina and Mikoto saw his attire and assumed he was Anbu.

  "Not Anbu. Root. Danzō's ckey. One of the guys who attacked us before," Shin corrected them.

  Hearing that he was one of Danzō's men, Kushina and Mikoto prepared for battle. From Shin and Tsuhey had learhat Danzō was a bad guy.

  "Just how much does that geezer Danzō hate me?" Shin wondered.

  He had barely left the vilge, and Danzō had already sent someoer him.

  "You bastard! You killed my rades! Danzō-sama ordered me to kill you!"

  "You're here to kill us?"

  Kushina ched her fists, ready to fight. She wasn't going to be bullied.

  But Shin stopped her.

  "Kushina, he's ae Jōnin. You're not strong enough."

  If it were a regur Jōnin, he might let Kushina spar with him, but against ae? She didn't stand a ce.

  "Ae Jōnin, huh? Fine, I'll let you off the hook for now."

  Kushina stepped back, letting Shin hahis.

  She wasn't worried. She had seen Shin sughter elite Jōnin before.

  "I'll use you to test my Genjutsu."

  Shin hadn't had a ce to test his Genjutsu since acquiring the Kurama 's Kekkei Genkai. This was the perfect opportunity.

  Danzō was a lifesaver, sending him a free sparring partner.

  Shin looked at the Root Member, and in a fsh, pulled him into a Genjutsu world. This world was structed from Shin's imagination.

  It was a dark and eerie pce. The Root Member found himself bound to a cross.

  "Is this Genjutsu?"

  He wasn't panicked. He tried to disrupt his Chakra flow to break free.

  But to his horror, it didn't work. He couldn't even sense his Chakra. It was as if he had bee a normal human.

  "It's useless. Enjoy your suffering."

  Shin drew his sword and used the Root Member as a training dummy, sshing and stabbing him repeatedly.

  The Member didn't know how many times he died. Each time he was killed, he would revive, only to be killed again.

  After dozens of deaths, his eyes gzed over, his mind broken.

  In this Genjutsu world, everything, including time, space, and even the ws of physics, was under Shin's trol. It was a mental assault that could crush evero minds.

  Shin's Genjutsu was simir to the Mangekyō Sharingan's Tsukuyomi, which Obito had called the ultimate mental attack.

  Of course, Obito's words weren't always trustworthy, but Tsukuyomi was undeniably powerful.

  Shin didn't have Tsukuyomi. His Mangekyō Sharingan abilities were Yomotsu Hirasaka and Tehis Tsukuyomi-like Genjutsu was something he had developed after copying the Kurama 's Kekkei Genkai. He called it Tsukuyomi as well.

  Its effects were the same as the inal Tsukuyomi. He didn't bother thinking of a new name.

  Ohe Genjutsu was released, Shin looked at the unscious Root Member and shook his head.

  A sisukuyomi had broken him. Shin hadn't even used his enjutsu, the ohat could trol the five senses.

  "What happeo him?"

  Kushina asked. They hadn't even fought, and the guy was already down.

  From their perspective, Shin had simply looked at the man, and he had colpsed.

  "Was it Genjutsu?" Mikoto asked.

  "Yep," Shin firmed.

  Looking at the unscious Root Member, Shin threw a Kunai, pierg his heart.

  He wouldn't show mercy to his enemies. Mercy to the enemy was cruelty to himself. He lived by that motto.

  In the world of Shinobi, there was no room for seality.

  "We 't leave the body here." Shin thought for a moment, then ied the corpse with a Fireball Jutsu.

  They tinued on their jouro the Land of Whirlpools. Danzō didn't yet know that he had lost another elite Jōnin.

  Danzō didn't have mae Jōnin to spare. Including Kato Dan, Shin had now killed four of them. Danzō must be furious.

  Perhaps after this, he would stop targeting Shin.

  He had already suffered heavy losses. Until he uood what was happening, he wouldn't dare attack Shin again.

  Elite Jōnin weren't easy to repce. Training oook years. Danzō couldn't afford to lose any more.
