The next morning, Shin and Konan erged from the sa room together.
Mikoto and i Terumī, in the living room, exchanged knowing glances. Konan blushed and looked down, acutely aware of the implications.
"You two weren't exactly quiet last night," i Terumī teased, noticing Konan's embarrassnt.
Konan blushed even deeper but quickly schooled her expression into a mask of indifference. She knew i Terumī would continue teasing if she reacted.
"Where are Kushina and Tsunade? Still asleep?" Shin asked Mikoto.
"They're already up. Didn't they say they were going to spar? They're probably at it already," Mikoto replied with a smile.
"And you didn't stop them?" Shin looked at her, surprised.
"They wouldn't get hurt, and I couldn't stop them anyway," Mikoto said with a shrug.
"Is that so?" Shin gave her a dubious look.
Although Mikoto was gentle most of the ti, she had a mischievous streak. Perhaps she was deliberately watching them fight.
"Shin, you don't trust ?" Mikoto asked, pouting slightly.
Looking at Mikoto's pouting and unhappy face, Shin found her a bit cute and couldn't help but walk over and give her a Kiss.
"Mnmnn"
Mikoto blushed, playfully punching him lightly. It wasn't that she was shy, but she was self-conscious in front of Konan and i Terumī.
i Terumī watched Shin and Mikoto, a strange feeling tightening in her chest.
A pang of jealousy, perhaps?
"Could it be… I'm actually interested in this bully?" She was shocked by the thought.
No way, she definitely couldn't have feelings for this jerk who liked to bully her. She wasn't a masochist.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Shin's voice startled her, pulling her out of her thoughts.
Shin called out to Terumi i, who was imrsed in her inner world.
Looking at Shin, who was very close to her, Terumi i's face suddenly turned red, and she asked stamringly, "Wh... what?"
"Why did your face suddenly turned red? Are you realizing how handso I am?" Shin asked with a smile.
"N-no!" i Terumī's denial was weak, even to her own ears. Though Shin was annoying, he was undeniably attractive.
If only he'd stop teasing her…
"Let's go check on Kushina and Tsunade. Hopefully, they haven't sunk the Land of Whirlpools. yet."
——
Shin led Mikoto, Konan, and i Terumī towards Kushina and Tsunade.
His concern wasn't entirely a joke. If Kushina and Tsunade went all out, they could potentially sink the small island nation.
Although Shin didn't know where Kushina and Tsunade were, Shin had left a marker on them.
"They're really fighting."
Shin stared at the two colossal wooden figures battling each other. Kushina and Tsunade were each controlling a hundred-ter tall [Wood Human].
The destructive power was imnse. Each blow could shatter mountains, the surrounding area had been transford into a basin.
"Is that… Wood Release?" i Terumī's jaw dropped. She suddenly regretted giving up on learning it.
"Amazing…" Konan also stared, though she was less surprised than i Terumī. Having traveled with Shin, she'd seen incredible things.
Mikoto wasn't surprised either.
Though she couldn't use Wood Release, she had the [Susanoo]—a worthy opponent for the Wood Human. With the [Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan], she could manifest a [Perfect Susanoo]—more than capable of handling the Wood Human.
The reason why Madara Uchiha lost to Hashirama Senju's Wood Release was mainly that Hashirama Senju's [Sage Art Wood Release] was too abnormal.
"Shin, should we stop them?" Mikoto asked.
"Nah, let them have their fun," Shin replied, shaking his head.
——
"Kushina, your Wood Human can't beat mine. I'm suppressing you," Tsunade taunted.
"You're lying! I'm clearly winning!" Kushina retorted.
In reality, neither was winning. The two Wood Humans were evenly matched.
Perhaps it was because of tacit understanding, Kushina and Tsunade used [Wood Dragon] Technique together.
The Wood Dragon Jutsu—capable of absorbing chakra, had played a key role in Hashirama Senju's victory against Madara Uchiha and the Nine-Tails.
However, with both of them using the sa technique…
Kushina's Wood Dragon coiled around Tsunade's Wood Human, absorbing its chakra, while Tsunade's Wood Dragon did the sa to Kushina's Wood Human.
"Who's going to win?" i Terumī asked.
"They'll be at it forever," Shin glanced at i Terumī and said.
If they didn't get tired or hungry, they'd never reach a conclusion. They knew the sa techniques, their chakra reserves were similar. There was no way to determine a victor.
"Unless they use other Jutsu, Wood Release alone won't settle this." Mikoto had also realized the stalemate.
Not just them, but Kushina and Tsunade had also co to the sa conclusion. Still, neither was willing to admit defeat.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMM!
The two Wood Humans' fists collided, then both figures staggered back, their fists splintering and scattering wood chips everywhere. The damage quickly regenerated, just like the Susanoo.
"That punch could shatter a mountain, couldn't it?" i Terumī said, awestruck.
"It could. It's about as strong as a Perfect Susanoo." Mikoto confird.
The Wood Human's destructive power rivaled that of the Perfect Susanoo. Mikoto, with her Perfect Susanoo, could level a mountain. The Wood Human could do the sa.
"I wish I had a Jutsu that powerful. That's not even Ninjutsu anymore, it's practically a God Art." i Terumī looked at Kushina and Tsunade with envy.
