“Where did you go?”
Kushina asked Shin as soon as he returned from Danzō’s tent.
“Nowhere. What’s up?”
“I want you to teach me the Rasenshuriken. My Chakra reserves are large enough now, right?”
Kushina wanted to learn the Rasenshuriken. She had realized her shortcomings on the battlefield.
Against the salamander, whose defenses were strong, the Rasengan wasn’t powerful enough. It could injure the salamander, but it couldn’t inflict fatal damage.
This meant her main role in that fight had been to use the Adamantine Sealing Chains to restrict the salamander’s movements.
“Aren’t you learning the Steaming Danger Tyranny?” Shin asked.
The Steaming Danger Tyranny was a powerful Jutsu, the signature technique of the Second Mizukage. Its power was comparable to the Rasenshuriken, but its method of attack was different.
“I’ve been trying to learn it for ages, but I can’t do it,” Kushina said, frustrated.
She had been studying that S-rank Jutsu for over half a year, but she still hadn’t mastered it. S-rank Jutsu were difficult to learn.
Of course, another reason was that she wasn’t putting in enough effort.
“That just means you’re dumb,” Shin teased.
Kushina glared at him. “Have you learned it?”
“Nope,” Shin shrugged.
“Then how can you call me dumb?” Kushina swatted his arm playfully.
“Kushina, I’m built different. I haven’t learned it because I haven’t tried.”
Shin was busy researching Ice Release and trying to develop Sage Mode and Wood Release. He didn’t have time to learn the Steaming Danger Tyranny.
It was a powerful Jutsu, but he didn’t need it. He had other Jutsu that were just as strong.
If he had the time, he might learn it, but he was too busy.
“Excuses,” Kushina muttered.
“Forget about that. You can learn the Rasenshuriken, but be careful. And use Shadow Clones to train,” Shin said.
“And promise me you’ll use Shadow Clones.”
Kushina nodded, and Shin started teaching her the Rasenshuriken.
Tsunade and Mikoto also joined them.
Mikoto didn’t have enough Chakra to learn the Jutsu, but she wanted to understand the theory.
Shin had already taught Tsunade the Rasenshuriken, but she hadn’t had time to practice due to the war.
…
Three days passed. There had been no further conflict with Suna and Ame since the last battle.
Danzō sent someone to deliver information on Uchiha Ryota’s whereabouts. He was keeping his word.
Shin, Kushina, and Mikoto left the battlefield. Officially, they were on a mission, but in reality, Shin was searching for Ryota.
He had initially planned to go alone, but Kushina insisted on coming, and Mikoto followed suit.
Konan was the most obedient. She stayed with Tsunade without complaint.
They left the Land of Rain and headed towards the Land of Rivers. According to Danzō’s intel, Ryota was hiding in that small nation.
The Land of Rivers, like the Land of Rain, was a buffer zone between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind. But the Land of Rain was more unfortunate, caught between three Great Nations.
The Land of Rivers was quite large, but it didn’t seem to have any powerful Shinobi.
Despite the war, it remained unaffected.
“Why are we in the Land of Rivers? Are we really on a mission?” Kushina asked suspiciously.
She wasn’t stupid. Why would they be on a mission in the Land of Rivers when the war was raging in the Land of Rain?
“We’re looking for Uchiha Ryota,” Shin said.
“Now? I thought he was an S-rank missing-nin. Can we even take on a mission to hunt him down?”
Mikoto was also confused.
“I’m not looking for him because of a mission. I have another objective. I need to evolve my Mangekyō Sharingan.”
Shin smiled. He could reveal some of his secrets to Kushina and Mikoto.
“Are you going to transplant Ryota’s Mangekyō Sharingan?” Mikoto asked, surprised.
She knew Ryota had the Mangekyō Sharingan. It wasn’t a secret.
Kirigakure’s pursuit of Ryota had made him famous. The news of his Mangekyō Sharingan had spread throughout the Shinobi world.
“No, I’m not transplanting his eyes. Besides, only siblings can transplant the Mangekyō Sharingan to evolve it into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.”
Shin shook his head.
“I have another way to evolve my Sharingan. But first, I need to find Ryota.”
After two days of searching, Shin finally found Ryota. It seemed Danzō’s intel was accurate.
Danzō was quite capable. Even Kirigakure couldn’t find Ryota, but Danzō knew his location.
He was a disciple of the Second Hokage, after all.
Ryota was eating in a small tavern. Shin entered with Kushina and Mikoto.
He glanced at Ryota, who was disguised.
The disguise was good, but Danzō had provided Shin with details of Ryota’s appearance.
“What do you want to eat?” Shin asked Kushina and Mikoto, not in a hurry.
“I’m not picky,” Kushina said.
“I’m not picky either, but I prefer vegetables to meat,” Mikoto said, ordering several vegetable dishes.
They ate quickly. After they were full, they would deal with Ryota.
But while they ate, Shin spoke to the System in his mind. “Use an Advanced Replication Card to copy Uchiha Ryota’s Mangekyō Sharingan.”
As long as the target was within his sight, he could use a Replication Card to copy their abilities.
