Kushina and Mikoto left Shin's room. Shin watched them go, worried they might start fighting.
He decided to check on 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 glared at Mikoto, who remained silent.
"Mikoto, don't you have anything to say to ?" Kushina asked, seeing Mikoto's silence.
"Uh, what do you want to say?"
"Tell how many tis it happened." Kushina looked at Mikoto, certain it wasn't just once.
"Mikoto, tell the truth. Don't lie to , or I'll be angry."
"If I tell you, will you not be angry?" Mikoto asked.
Kushina considered this. "I'll try not to be."
"You promised, Kushina. Don't get mad."
"Just tell !"
"Half a month," Mikoto confessed, lowering 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 can'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 large bump forming on her head.
"Hmph, you still have the nerve to complain? Mikoto, I really misjudged you. No, from tomorrow onwards, I'm sleeping in Shin's room!" Kushina declared.
Mikoto, ignoring her headache, imdiately objected.
"Why not?" Kushina glared at her.
Mikoto had slept with Shin for half a month, and she hadn't even noticed. Kushina wanted to bang her head against the wall.
Mikoto was speechless, but she still opposed Kushina's declaration.
"I'm sorry, Kushina, but I can't agree to that."
"You're only saying that now." Kushina glared at Mikoto, who lowered her head in sha.
...
...
The next morning, Shin woke up to find Kushina already awake. This was the earliest he had ever seen her up.
Kushina glared at him, then turned away, refusing to acknowledge him. She was jealous.
"Ahem, Kushina, how about I teach you so Ninjutsu today?" Shin asked, trying to appease her.
"Not in the mood," Kushina said coldly.
"Then how about Sage Mode? Interested?"
"What's Sage Mode?"
Kushina's curiosity overca her anger.
"This."
Shin spent half a minute gathering Natural Energy and entered 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.
Shin's eye twitched. 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 explained.
"Sage Mode enhanced the user's Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu."
"Enhanced?" Kushina's eyes lit up.
Shin smiled. He had successfully diverted her attention.
He had planned to teach her Sage Mode later. He hadn't perfected it yet.
He could activate it in thirty seconds now, much faster than the three minutes it used to take, but it was still too slow. In a battle against a strong opponent, he wouldn't have that much ti.
"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 seed his plan had worked.
After breakfast, Shin started teaching Kushina and Mikoto Sage Mode. Kushina would have an easier ti learning it.
The more Chakra you had, the easier it was to learn Sage Mode. Mikoto, as an Uchiha, had decent Chakra reserves, but she couldn't compare to Kushina.
Kushina's Chakra reserves were several tis greater than Mikoto's. That was the advantage of the Sage Body.
....
A month passed. Kushina and Mikoto spent their days practicing Ninjutsu and training in Sage Mode.
Kushina was making progress, but Mikoto was still struggling to even sense Natural Energy.
Shin couldn't help her with that. She had to do it on her own.
After teaching Kushina and Mikoto, Shin still had to teach Konan and do his own training. He was exhausted.
Kushina and Mikoto hadn't co to his room during this ti. 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 on the battlefield; there was no point worrying.
But he was sure Konoha wasn't in imdiate danger. If they were, the village wouldn't be so peaceful.
And he didn't have any sources of information.
Even if he wanted to know what was happening, he had no way of finding out.
