  Kushina and Mikoto left Shin's room. Shin watched them go, worried they might start fighting.

  He decided to che them, but Kushina pushed him back as he reached the door.

  "Don't get involved. Go back to sleep."

  She closed the door and dragged Mikoto to her room.

  Kushina gred at Mikoto, who remained silent.

  "Mikoto, don't you have anything to say to me?" Kushina asked, seeing Mikoto's silence.

  "Uh, what do you wao say?"

  "Tell me how many times it happened." Kushina looked at Mikoto, certain it wasn't just once.

  "Mikoto, tell me the truth. Don't lie to me, or I'll be angry."

  "If I tell you, will you not be angry?" Mikoto asked.

  Kushina sidered this. "I'll try not to be."

  "You promised, Kushina. Don't get mad."

  "Just tell me!"

  "Half a month," Mikoto fessed, l her head.

  Kushina's face froze, then she jumped up, her eyes wide.

  "What?! You slept with Shin for half a month?!"

  Mikoto looked at Kushina's angry expression and quickly said, "You promised not to get angry!"

  "I did, but I 't help it!"

  Kushina headbutted Mikoto in frustration. Silence filled the room as both girls clutched their heads and crouched on the floor.

  "Ow..." Kushina rubbed her head. The impact had hurt.

  "I'm hurt more than you." Mikoto felt a rge bump f on her head.

  "Hmph, you still have the o pin? Mikoto, I really misjudged you. No, from tomorrow onwards, I'm sleeping in Shin's room!" Kushina decred.

  Mikoto, ign her headache, immediately objected.

  "Why not?" Kushina gred at her.

  Mikoto had slept with Shin for half a month, and she hadn't even noticed. Kushina wao bang her head against the wall.

  Mikoto eechless, but she still opposed Kushina's decration.

  "I'm sorry, Kushina, but I 't agree to that."

  "You're only saying that now." Kushina gred at Mikoto, who lowered her head in shame.

  ...

  ...

  The m, Shin woke up to find Kushina already awake. This was the earliest he had ever seen her up.

  Kushina gred at him, then turned away, refusing to aowledge him. She was jealous.

  "Ahem, Kushina, how about I teach you some Ninjutsu today?" Shin asked, trying to appease her.

  "Not in the mood," Kushina said coldly.

  "Then how about Sage Mode? Ied?"

  "What's Sage Mode?"

  Kushina's curiosity overcame her anger.

  "This."

  Shi half a mihering Natural Energy aered Sage Mode. Three tomoe appeared on his forehead, and red markings spread across his face.

  "Did you draw that on yourself?"

  Kushina poked the markings on his forehead.

  Shiwitched. Did she really think he could draw those on himself in an instant?

  "This is the Sage Mark. You get it when you enter Sage Mode," Shin expined.

  "Sage Mode enhahe user's Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, asu."

  "Enhanced?" Kushina's eyes lit up.

  Shin smiled. He had successfully diverted her attention.

  He had po teach her Sage Mode ter. He hadn't perfected it yet.

  He could activate it in thirty seds now, much faster thahree mi used to take, but it was still too slow. In a battle against a strong oppo, he wouldn't have that much time.

  "So, want to learn it?" Shin asked.

  Kushina nodded eagerly.

  "I'll teach you after breakfast," Shin said with a smile.

  Kushina wasn't as angry anymore. It seemed his pn had worked.

  After breakfast, Shin started teag Kushina and Mikoto Sage Mode. Kushina would have an easier time learning it.

  The more Chakra you had, the easier it was to learn Sage Mode. Mikoto, as an Uchiha, had det Chakra reserves, but she couldn't pare to Kushina.

  Kushina's Chakra reserves were several times greater than Mikoto's. That was the advantage of the Sage Body.

  ....

  A month passed. Kushina and Mikoto spent their days practig Ninjutsu and training in Sage Mode.

  Kushina was making progress, but Mikoto was still struggling to even seural Energy.

  Shin couldn't help her with that. She had to do it on her own.

  After teag Kushina and Mikoto, Shin still had to teach Konan and do his own training. He was exhausted.

  Kushina and Mikoto hadn't e to his room during this time. They were keeping an eye on each other.

  Shin was a bit disappointed.

  He hadn't paid much attention to the war. He wasn't otlefield; there was no point w.

  But he was sure Konoha wasn't in immediate danger. If they were, the vilge wouldn't be so peaceful.

  And he didn't have any sources of information.

  Even if he wao know what was happening, he had no way of finding out.
