"Kushina, give it up." Shin gri the bound Kushina.
"Hmph, I'll never surrender!"
Kushina had been tied up after refusing to apologize for attag Shin.
"Kushina, it's diime. How are you going to eat if you're tied up? Do you want to starve? Just apologize to Shin." Mikoto said with a stern expression.
She was trying hard not to ugh.
"Mikoto, I don't have any proof, but I think yhing at me," Kushina said suspiciously.
"We're best friends. How could I ugh at you?"
"Mikoto, if you really are my best friend, then untie me."
"Sorry, Kushina, but Shin said if I untie you, he'll tie me up instead," Mikoto said, shaking her head.
Shin looked at them, fused. When had he said that? And Mikoto was lying right in front of him.
"Mikoto, you said we're best friends, right? Then 't you suffer a bit for me?" Kushina pleaded.
Mikoto thought for a moment, then said with a serious expression, "In that case, Kushina, we're not friends anymore."
She turned and walked away.
"Wow, that's your friendship?" Tsunade chuckled.
"Poor Kushina-nee," Konan said sympathetically.
"I don't need your pity!" Kushina huffed.
Shin walked over and untied Kushina, who looked at him in surprise. Was he letting her go so easily? Did he have an ulterior motive?
"I just felt sorry for you," Shin said with a smile.
....
"I'm not pitiful! And Shin will always like me, right?" Kushina g to Shin.
Tsunade, seeing this, pulled Kushina away.
"Kushina, stop fooling around. Let's eat before the food gets cold," Tsunade said.
"Right," Mikoto agreed.
Konan sat obediently beside Shin, waiting for dinner.
After dinner, Shin suddenly remembered something important: they didn't have a pce to sleep.
They had fotten to set up their tent.
"Looks like we'll have to stay at your pce tonight, Tsunade," Shin said.
"Sure, I don't mind."
"It'll be a bit cramped, but we manage," Kushina said.
Tsuent was rge, but it would still be crowded with all of them.
"Kushina, if you don't like it, you sleep outside," Tsunade said.
"I'm not stupid." Kushina gred at her.
....
When it was time to sleep, a dispute arose.
"I want to sleep o Shin," Kushina decred.
"This is my tent. Shouldn't I be the one making the arras?" Tsunade said.
"Let Shin decide," Mikoto said, looking at Shin.
"I want to sleep o Shin-nii!" Konan g to Shin's arm.
"As, the woes of being popur." Shin sighed dramatically, though inwardly, he was smug.
"Shin, make your choice."
Tsunade, Kushina, Mikoto, and even Konan stared at Shin expetly. He was in a predit.
Making a choice would be disastrous. So he came up with a solution: they would draw lots.
Kushina and Mikoto ended up sleepio Shin, while Konan, bending the rules, ractically on top of him. Tsunade was fuming.
"Ahem, Tsunade, how about you sleep under me?" Shin asked hopefully.
"Get lost. I'm annoyed, don't bother me." Tsuurned away angrily.
....
The m, Shin woke up first. He looked at Konan, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms. He didn't disturb her.
Mikoto was on his left, and Kushina was on his right. It leasant feeling.
Wait a minute...
Shin turo his right. It wasn't Kushina; it was Tsunade. And Kushina was oher side of Tsunade. When had they switched pces?
Tsunade opened her eyes a Shin's gaze.
"What are you looking at?" she asked, rubbing her eyes.
"I don't remember it being like this st night."
"Yeah, Kushina wao switch pces with me in the middle of the night. So here I am," Tsunade said.
Shin didn't believe her for a sed.
Mikoto and Konan also woke up and were surprised to see Tsunade o Shin.
Tsunade shushed them and poi Kushina, signaling them not to wake her up.
She had switched pces with Kushina while she was asleep. She couldn't let Kushina know, or she might start a fight.
She wasn't afraid of Kushina, but Kushina ersistent.
"I'll make breakfast." Mikoto got up ao the kit.
Konan also got up and started refining Chakra.
....
"Konan is so hardw," Tsunade said, watg her. With that kind of dedication, she would achieve great things.
"Yeah, if you were half as hardw as Konan, you wouldn't be so weak," Shin said, gng at Tsunade.
"Shin, you think I'm weak?"
She robably the only one who thought she was weak.
"To me, you're not that strong. Average, I guess. You probably 't eve the Third Kazekage or Hanzō."
Tsunade eechless. She wasn't fident she could defeat them, but were they weak? One was known as the stro Kazekage, the other as "Kami." Shin seemed to be uimating them.
