Having acquired the Nine-Tails' chakra—his final goal in Konoha—Shin believed there was no reason to linger there any longer.
"So we've done everything we ca to do," Shin remarked. "Ready to leave Konoha?"
Back at the abandoned Senju compound, he posed the question to Tsunade, Kushina, Mikoto, and Konan. But Kushina hesitated.
"Let's stay one more day," she suggested. "I still want to sample the rest of Konoha's street foods. After this, who knows how long it'll be before we co back?"
Noting her eager expression, Shin simply smiled and agreed. They thus spent an entire extra day roaming the village, devouring local delicacies.
....
Eventually, Tsunade pulled Shin aside with a serious expression:
"I've decided to sell the Senju Compound. What do you think?"
Shin blinked in surprise.
"You're selling the entire compound? Why?"
"I'm not coming back, No point leaving it here to be taken soday by who-knows-who. Better to sell it off and get sothing in return." Tsunade said matter-of-factly.
Shin nodded in understanding. If Tsunade was truly done with Konoha, the land might well be seized in her absence. This way, she'd maintain so control.
"So who do you plan on selling to? Another big clan, or maybe to the village itself?" he asked.
"Whoever offers the highest bid," Tsunade replied.
Shin grinned faintly.
"Sure. Just put the word out, then wait for people to co knocking. I'm sure you'll have plenty of takers. But first, you might want to clean up any important family heirlooms."
She agreed and spent the next few days sorting through keepsakes. By the ti they finished, multiple suitors had erged with generous offers.
In the end, Tsunade sold the Senju land to the Hyūga Clan, since they bid high and had no feud with the Senju.
Though the Sarutobi, Shimura, and Uchiha families offered even larger sums, Tsunade refused to sell it to them—Sarutobi and Shimura were complicit in the Senju's decline, while the Senju had a long, bitter history with the Uchiha.
The deal went smoothly.
"Congrats, Tsunade—you're now loaded. Take care of ," Shin teased with a chuckle.
"Sure, I'll be your sugar mommy." Tsunade said, playing along.
"Tsk," Kushina muttered, rolling her eyes. "Shin doesn't need you for that. He's hardly broke."
She wasn't wrong; Shin still had plenty of money squirreled away from his travels (not to ntion a significant sum "borrowed" from Kirigakure in the past).
With the Compound sold, the group finally departed Konoha.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, upon hearing of it, breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Shin's presence always felt like a threat poised above them; now that he was gone, Hiruzen could relax.
....
Once back in the Land of Whirlpools, Kushina wasted no ti cornering Shin.
"You promised you'd help build my All-Kunoichi Shinobi Village," she reminded him, eyes shining. "C'mon, let's get started!"
"Sure," Shin replied casually, "but I'm only going to construct the village itself. The rest—recruiting Shinobi, planning missions—that's all on you. I don't have ti to manage it."
He still had to focus on researching Six Paths Senjutsu.
"That's fine," Kushina said with an eager nod. "Just build the place. I'll handle the rest."
Shin sighed, then raised his hands in a Wood Release sign.
"Wood Style: Row-Houses Jutsu!"
Channels of chakra surged under the earth, sprouting hundreds of wooden buildings—sturdy, aesthetically pleasing structures shaped by his advanced Wood Release.
Though they were only made of wood, they'd hold up as well as stone.
"Done," Shin said. "They're all yours. Good luck building your 'All-Female Hidden Village.'"
Kushina bead as she looked over row after row of brand-new houses. Then she turned to Tsunade, Mikoto, and Konan, hoping to enlist their aid.
"Tsunade, Mikoto, Konan—why not join my village?" she asked, her gaze falling on each of them in turn. "It'll be great!"
"I don't mind," Konan said softly.
Seeing that small smile, Kushina's face lit up. Her fledgling village had at least one other mber now. But as for Tsunade and Mikoto...
"No, Your village is nothing but a shell. I have zero interest." Tsunade replied flatly.
"And I agree," Mikoto added, shrugging. "It's just not appealing, sorry."
Kushina huffed, crossing her arms.
"Well, I have Konan. She and I will build it ourselves!"
Konan managed a polite smile. In truth, she suspected this project might be dood from the start, but she didn't have the heart to say so.
Watching Kushina drag Konan off to "plan their future," Tsunade and Mikoto exchanged an exasperated look, shaking their heads.
They saw no practical blueprint for building a legitimate village in the deserted Land of Whirlpools—especially with only two people. Still, they let Kushina chase her dream.
....
anwhile, Shin returned to the quiet forest. Settling onto a smooth, flat rock, he closed his eyes and focused on the Tailed Beast chakra he had gathered.
Inside him were sealed fragnts of all nine Tailed Beasts. Now he intended to rge them.
"If I combine the chakra from all nine, I basically get Ten-Tails chakra," he murmured, eyes shut in concentration.
He started with a step-by-step approach—fusing the One-Tail's chakra with the Two-Tails, verifying stability before moving on to the Three-Tails, and so on.
rging everything at once could be risky, so he took it thodically. Fortunately, the presence of his Six Paths–level power—borne from his Rinne Tenseigan—helped keep the process stable.
To his surprise, it only took a few hours to rge all nine sets of chakra into a single, cohesive form.
He'd expected a longer, more grueling process.
