Although Shin believed that his current strength was parable to that of a Six Paths level Shinobi, he didn't sider himself to have reached that level yet.
In his eyes, to truly stand among Six Paths–css fighters, he first had to master Yin–Yang Release and achieve Nature Transformation at the Bloodliion—often dubbed Kekkei Mōra.
Only by trolling Yin–Yang Release and Kekkei Mōra would he gain that final metamorphosis, being an invincible for the Shinobi world.
However, he hadn't mastered either of those yet.
He felt that once he mastered Yin-Yang Release and Kekkei Mōra, his strength would undergo a true transformation, making him invincible in the Shinobi world.
At present, he khere were still threats out there—Kaguya ōtsutsuki, for one, remained sealed but was certainly dangerous if she ever broke free. Other unknown ōtsutsuki might also roam the os.
Even Hagoromo ōtsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths, otential threat.
In the inal story, although Hagoromo only had a fragment of his Chakra left, he was still able to help Naruto and Sasuke seal Kaguya.
Shin suspected Hagoromo might still be lurking somewhere, the Shinobi world. If so, that man could present a serious meo Shin's aspirations.
So even with the Rienseigan, Shin couldn't be careless. There were still those who could threaten him.
Although Shin had no personal grudge against Hagoromo, his power posed a threat, and that was enough to make him an enemy.
It was like how the Third Hokage targeted Shin. He saw Shin as a threat and tried to undermine him.
Shin also saw Hagoromo as a threat. Even if he only had a fragment of his Chakra left, he was still a threat. If Shin could find him, he would eliminate him.
It wasn't about hatred; it was simply a matter of survival.
...
"Shin-nii, what are you thinking about?"
Konan's voice broke his reverie. She tugged at his sleeve, her cheeks puffed in mild annoyance.
She'd e for training, only to find Shin lost in thought, barely paying attention.
"Are you angry, Konan?"
Shin smiled and pinched her cheek.
"No…!"
"You're saying that, but your lips are so pouty they could hang an oil pot." Shin poked her nose pyfully.
"e o's head back. It's nearly mealtime, we resume your training tomorrow."
Shin led Konan bae.
Mikoto had already finished preparing dinner.
"We didn't have many ingredients, so it's nothing special," Mikoto said.
"It looks great."
Shin was satisfied with the spread.
"By the way, we should go shopping tomorrow," Mikoto said.
They were currently in the Land of Whirlpools, and there was no one else here besides them.
To buy anything, they had to leave the Land of Whirlpools. It was inve.
But Shin knew Space-Time Ninjutsu, and he nning to teach it to Kushina and the others. It was a valuable life-saving skill.
He couldn't teach them Yomotsu Hirasaka, but he could teach them the Flying Thunder God Teique.
He had lear from the Forbidden Scroll. It was easy for him to learn, having already mastered Yomotsu Hirasaka.
But he hadn't used it yet. Yomotsu Hirasaka was more ve.
Yomotsu Hirasaka ed more Chakra, but Shin didn't care. He had plenty.
"We're going shopping tomorrow? I'm so excited!" Kushina's eyes sparkled.
Shin knew she'd probably buy random, whimsical items, but that was just how she was. At least it wasn't Tsunade—her gambling habits could bankrupt aire try.
...
After dinner, night fell. Shireated to his room to do a bit of research—trying to figure out how to unlock Kekkei Mōra or master Yin–Yang Release.
He pondered for hours but made little progress, unsurprising given these were essentially the pinnacle of jutsu.
Sometime around midnight—
Creak....
His door opened quietly. Kushina slipped in, wearing only her nightclothes, moving like a burgr. She shut the door carefully and turo see Shin's gaze.
"Shhh…"
Seeing Shin looking at her, she put a fio her lips, shushing him.
Shin eechless. She was ag like she was sneaking into his room for a tryst.
"Kushina…what are you doing sneaking into my room?" Shin whispered.
He instinctively matched her low volume.
"What? You're not happy to see me? Do you not love me anymore?" Kushina looked at him with feigned hurt.
Shin was about to reply when—
BAAMM!
The door flew open, nearly boung off its hisunade and Mikoto burst in, startling Kushina so badly she nearly fell over.
"What are you two doing here?!" Kushina demanded, flushing.
"Shouldn't we be asking you that question?" Tsunade's face was stony.
"I, I'm having a private te-night chat with Shin! What's wrong with that?" Kushina said defiantly.
"Ooooh? A private chat? Mind telling us the topic? Maybe we join in,"
Mikoto suggested with a sweet smile that looked anything but friendly. It gave Kushina chills.
Kushina couldn't figure out how they'd caught her. She had been 'so' quiet.
"We're discussing private matters. You wouldn't uand. GO AWAY!"
Kushina decided to get rid of them first.
"We're all good friends here, right? Surely there's nothing we 't hear. Unless you're doing something shady?"
Mikoto's eyes narrowed suspiciously. Kushina and Shin were sitting quite close.
"Ugh!" Kushina gritted her teeth. Who was her best friend? She was ending their friendship now.
"Ahem, It's te. and we're going shopping early tomorrow. You should all go to bed."
Without waiting for protests, he ushered Kushina, Mikoto, and Tsu the door, ending the impromptu midnight fiasco.
