"Tsunade took Uzumaki Shin to meet with Kurama Kaze."

The Sandaime Hokage puffed on his pipe, his brow furrowed.

"Yes, Sandaime-sama. Apparently, Uzumaki Shin wanted to learn Genjutsu from Kurama Kaze, but he was refused."

An Anbu agent reported.

Tsunade and Shin's meeting with Kaze hadn't escaped the Anbu's notice. And if the Anbu knew, Hiruzen would know.

"I see." Hiruzen nodded, dismissing the matter.

Meanwhile, Tsunade and Shin had returned to the courtyard. Shin went straight to his room and activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.

He could feel the increase in his Ocular Power. His Genjutsu must be even stronger now, but he had no one to test it on.

With his immense mental energy, he felt like his Genjutsu could manifest into physical attacks.

Copying the Kurama Clan's Kekkei Genkai had been the right choice. His overall strength had increased, and his Genjutsu, which had been his weakest area, was now much stronger.

His Genjutsu hadn't been weak before, thanks to his Mangekyō Sharingan, but it had paled in comparison to his Taijutsu and Ninjutsu.

He examined the changes in his Mangekyō Sharingan. His ocular power was immense, but he still wasn't sure when it would evolve into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Shin, come out here."

Shin heard Tsunade's call and exited his room.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya were there, along with their respective Genin teams.

"Shin-kun, long time no see."

Orochimaru greeted Shin with a smile, surprising him.

Not just Shin, but Tsunade and Jiraiya were also surprised. Orochimaru wasn't the type to initiate conversations.

"Actually, I wanted to be Shin-kun's Jōnin-sensei," Orochimaru declared.

"Wow, even you have your eyes on this kid, Orochimaru? But his performance at the Academy wasn't that impressive," Jiraiya said, looking at Shin with curiosity.

"If you want to switch sensei, Shin, you can come to me."

Orochimaru ignored Jiraiya and continued talking to Shin.

"Orochimaru, are you trying to steal my student?" Tsunade glared at him, her Chakra flaring.

This snake was trying to poach her student? Did he think she was easy to bully?

"Such powerful Chakra..." Orochimaru glanced at Tsunade, a hint of envy in his eyes. Her Chakra reserves dwarfed his.

But he wasn't afraid of her. Chakra wasn't the sole determinant of strength.

"Shin-kun, what's your choice?" Orochimaru looked at Shin, his eyes filled with interest.

Shin shuddered.

"I'm happy with Tsunade-sensei. I haven't considered switching."

Tsunade sighed in relief. She had been worried Shin might actually go with Orochimaru. But she had worried for nothing; Shin wouldn't follow that creep.

Orochimaru might be a genius in research, but he was also undeniably creepy.

"That's a shame." Orochimaru shook his head in disappointment.

"What are you all doing here?"

Shin asked Orochimaru and Jiraiya. They wouldn't be here without a reason.

"We have a mission that requires the three of us. So, you nine will be working together for now. The Sandaime will assign a Jōnin to lead all three teams," Jiraiya explained.

"I see." Shin nodded, then looked at Tsunade.

"Tsunade, if you encounter any danger on this mission, run."

"Aww, Shin, are you worried about me?"

Tsunade teased.

"Yeah, it would be a pain if you died out there," Shin said, scratching his head.

Tsunade scowled and lightly punched his arm.

"Can't you say something nice?"

"The mission is urgent. I have to go. Head to Training Ground 24 and wait for your new Jōnin-sensei."

Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya left. A mission that required the three of them must be dangerous.

But they were all strong; they should be able to handle it.

"Shin, we're going on a mission together!" Nawaki said excitedly.

"Heh, I'd rather not join you in shoveling manure."

Shin's words made Hiashi and Kai, Nawaki's teammates, scowl. Nawaki had blabbed about their manure-shoveling mission.

"Let's go to Training Ground 24."

Shin led the way, followed by Mikoto and Kushina. Nawaki, Minato, and the others followed.

At Training Ground 24, their new Jōnin-sensei hadn't arrived yet. Shin sat down, waiting.

"Hey, Shin, have you been on any missions?" Nawaki asked.

"Yeah, just a C-rank mission," Shin replied with a smile.

Nawaki jumped up.

"What?! A C-rank mission?! That's not fair! Why do we only get D-rank missions?"

He yelled, attracting the attention of the others.

"Kushina, you really went on a C-rank mission?" Akiko asked.

Kushina nodded proudly. There was no need to hide it.

"Hmph, who knows if that's true," Kai scoffed.

He seemed out of place, even his teammates, Nawaki and Hiashi, ignored him.

Nawaki had initially tried to befriend Kai, but he had given up.

"Kai, are you looking for a beating?" Kushina stood up, glaring at him.

"You think I'm scared of you?" Kai sneered.

"Don't waste your breath on him. Just hit him," Shin said to Kushina.

Trash talk was pointless. Actions spoke louder than words.

Kushina nodded and used the Adamantine Sealing Chains, binding Kai instantly.

Akiko's eyes widened. Kushina was using the Adamantine Sealing Chains so skillfully! Even she couldn't do that.

Akiko, as a Jinchūriki candidate, had received special training from Mito. But even so, she could barely use the Adamantine Sealing Chains. She was nowhere near as proficient as Kushina.

Kai struggled, humiliated and enraged, but Kushina just looked at him with disdain.
