Tsunade, Kushina, Mikoto, and Konan surrounded Shin, their eyes fixed on his Rinne-Tenseigan.
The Rinnegan was powerful, but it lacked aesthetic appeal and wasn’t particularly attractive, It wasn’t even as good-looking as the Mangekyō Sharingan.
But after fusing with the Tenseigan, it glowed with a vibrant, mesmerizing hue—strangely beautiful.
Shin was thrilled by its immense power, of course, but the fact that it also looked cool was a bonus.
“They’re basically the result of merging the Rinnegan and Tenseigan,”
Shin explained, seeing their curiosity.
“What? You obtained the Rinnegan?”
Tsunade was shocked. She had been about to ask about Wood Release, but that was forgotten now.
“Is the Rinnegan that powerful?”
Konan asked, glancing at Tsunade’s astonished expression.
“The Rinnegan is legendary, revered as the apex of the Three Great Dōjutsu—the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, said to create or destroy entire worlds,” Mikoto explained.
The Rinnegan’s existence wasn’t a secret. It was a legend known by most people.
“Then what’s a Tenseigan?” Kushina asked, turning to Shin.
“Well, if the Sharingan’s pinnacle is the Rinnegan, the Byakugan’s ultimate evolution is the Tenseigan. They’re equal in rank—two different branches of supreme ocular power.”
“The Sharingan can evolve into the Rinnegan?” Mikoto was stunned.
“To be precise, you need the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan combined with the Perfect Sage Body—a fusion of Uchiha and Senju lineages, basically. That triggers the Rinnegan.” Shin shrugged.
“So the Rinnegan is an evolution of the Sharingan? If you hadn’t said it, I wouldn’t have believed it.”
Tsunade was shocked. She had always thought the Rinnegan was a separate dōjutsu.
Most people thought the same. Few knew the truth.
“So the Byakugan can also evolve? By the way, why did the Ōtsutsuki Clan also have the Byakugan?”
Kushina recalled the Ōtsutsuki she had seen on the moon.
“They share the same ancestor. It’s not surprising they both have the Byakugan. The Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon are descendants of the Sage of Six Paths’ younger brother.”
“The Sage of Six Paths had a brother? Why haven’t I heard of this?” Kushina asked in surprise.
“I don’t know.” Shin shook his head.
The Sage of Six Paths was a legend known throughout the Shinobi world, but there were no legends about Hamura Ōtsutsuki.
Even though Hamura had moved to the moon, there should still be some legends about him.
But Shin didn’t care.
“So there are things you don’t know? I thought you knew everything,” Kushina said, hugging Shin from behind.
Tsunade and Mikoto glared at her.
“Kushina, get off of him. Shin just went through a tough battle. He’s tired,” Tsunade said.
“Actually, I’m not tired at all,” Shin corrected cheerfully. He certainly didn’t mind a soft body resting on his back.
“….”
At that, Kushina grinned smugly at Tsunade, making Tsunade’s brow twitch in annoyance.
“Kushina, maybe you and I should step outside for a quick spar?” Tsunade said in a dangerously calm tone
“No, thanks,” Kushina blurted, shaking her head. She wasn’t about to jump into a fight she couldn’t win—especially not after Tsunade had recently trounced her.
An awkward hush fell over the room. Kushina remained latched onto Shin’s back, enjoying herself thoroughly.
Shin, on the other hand, began to sweat under the twin glares of Tsunade and Mikoto. Somehow, the intensity of their combined looks felt more lethal than Ryūsuke’s Tenseigan.
“Ahem, Tsunade, Mikoto, can you stop staring at me like that? It’s uncomfortable,” Shin said.
“Oh, so you’re feeling uncomfortable? I can give you a thorough checkup.” Tsunade retorted.
She stepped forward and tried to yank Kushina away by force, actually starting to pull at Shin’s clothes.
“H-hey, Tsunade, not so rough! It’s broad daylight—if you want to do something, at least wait till night!”
Shin sputtered, though his lack of resistance showed he wasn’t entirely opposed to the idea.
“Cut that out!”
Kushina and Mikoto intervened, tugging Tsunade away from him. Kushina in particular looked ready to bite if Tsunade didn’t back off.
Just then, Konan chimed in,
“Shin-nii, I have some questions about training,” Konan said, pulling Shin away.
She grabbed his hand and started walking him out of the room, leaving Kushina, Tsunade, and Mikoto momentarily stunned.
“Now you’re happy? Shin’s gone.” Kushina said after releasing Tsunade.
“Mikoto, you’re still holding onto me?” Tsunade glanced at Mikoto, who blushed and let go.
—
Shin followed Konan outside and helped her with her training.
Konan was a diligent student. She felt she was lagging behind Kushina and Mikoto, so she trained hard.
With Shin’s help, she had even developed her Paper Ninjutsu.
Her Paper Ninjutsu was powerful, but it had a weakness: oil. Once the paper was soaked in oil, the Jutsu couldn’t be used.
“Paper Shuriken!”
Konan threw a paper shuriken. It was made of paper, but its power was no different from a normal shuriken. And it was easier to carry.
“I feel like my Paper Ninjutsu isn’t very strong. It can only deal with ordinary Shinobi.”
Konan said, looking at the paper shuriken’s power.
“It still needs development. Maybe one day your Paper Ninjutsu will be very powerful. And you can learn other Jutsu too.”
Shin comforted her.
Konan nodded. Shin had taught her many other powerful Jutsu. She just hadn’t mastered them yet.
Shin had taught her all the Jutsu in Konoha’s Forbidden Scroll.
Of course, she couldn’t learn them all.
Normal Jutsu were fine, but the powerful S-rank Jutsu were difficult, and her Chakra couldn’t handle the consumption.
Shin watched her train, lost in thought. He was thinking about how to become a true Six Paths level Shinobi.
