Shin looked at i Terumī's envious expression and patted her shoulder.
"Don't be too impressed. The Wood Human is powerful, but it has its weaknesses."
Its massive size limited its mobility. The Susanoo shared the sa weakness. Against a fast, agile opponent, landing a blow could be difficult.
"If you're fast enough, you can easily dodge its attacks." Shin said.
"How fast do I have to be? That punch could shatter a mountain. Can I even dodge that?" i Terumī asked, a bit exasperated.
"That's a valid concern. But if you used Sage Mode and focused on evasion, you should be fine."
Shin estimated that i Terumī, even with Sage Mode, would struggle to outrun the Wood Human, but escaping its attacks wouldn't be a problem.
"If you learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, like Konan, you'd have no problem at all." Shin said.
i Terumī glanced at Konan. "I'm starting to think I'm the weakest here."
Shin was in a league of his own. i Terumī didn't even know the extent of his power. According to Konan and the others' description—he was practically a God.
Konan had the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Kushina and Tsunade had Wood Release.
Mikoto had the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
Compared to them, her Kekkei Genkai seed—underwhelming. Her pride instantly shattered.
Shin looked at i strangely. Did she only realize now that she was the weakest?
"Mikoto, where are you going?" Shin asked, noticing Mikoto leaving.
"Their fight is going nowhere. We can't just stand here and watch. Let's have a picnic. I'm going to get so supplies," Mikoto replied with a smile.
"I want grilled fish!" i Terumī perked up, her earlier gloom forgotten.
"Since we're having a picnic, let's divide the tasks. i—you're on fish duty. Konan and I will hunt in the forest."
Shin took Konan's hand and left. Mikoto went ho to gather supplies, leaving i Terumī to head for the coast.
The shore wasn't far, and with Body Flicker Technique, i Terumī arrived quickly.
——
Within minutes, they were ready. Shin had caught several plump rabbits, Konan had gathered wild vegetables.
i Terumī returned with a dozen fish. Combined with the food Mikoto brought, it was a feast.
Shin took charge of grilling the fish and at, while Mikoto and Konan prepared the rest.
"Anything I can do?" i Terumī asked, seeing she was the only one idle.
"Not really." Shin didn't trust her cooking skills. She wasn't quite "Dark cuisine" level—but she was still a culinary disaster.
Soon, the aroma of grilled food wafted across the training grounds, reaching Kushina and Tsunade, who stopped fighting.
They hadn't eaten breakfast, they were starving.
"Truce?" Kushina asked Tsunade.
"Sure. there's no point in continuing to fight." Tsunade agreed.
They'd been fighting for hours with no clear victor, their chakra was depleted. It was ti for a break.
"Why did you two stop? We were enjoying the show," Shin couldn't help but say when he saw Tsunade and Kushina co over.
"Y-You were enjoying the show?! I'll bite you to death!!" Kushina yelled, lunging at Shin.
"Stop, Here's so grilled fish."
Shin imdiately handed the grilled fish he had just grilled to Kushina.
"Hmph, for the sake of the grilled fish, I'll let you off the hook this ti," Kushina took the grilled fish and started eating it happily.
It was a familiar taste. It had been a long ti since she had eaten the food made by Shin, especially the barbecue made by Shin.
"Shin, did you teach Tsunade the Wood Release ninjutsu?" Kushina asked.
Originally, Kushina thought that Tsunade still wouldn't know any Wood Release Ninjutsu, so she thought her fight with Tsunade would be a sure win.
"No, she learned it herself. Tsunade has been researching Wood Release for so long, it's not easy to learn Wood Release ninjutsu." Shin replied.
"By the way, if you two want to spar in the future, do it sowhere else. Don't wreck the Land of Whirlpools." Shin looked at the massive crater they'd created.
"Yeah, you two practically caused an earthquake," Mikoto added.
"Did we?" Kushina and Tsunade hadn't noticed, they'd been too focused on their fight.
"Look at that crater."
"Oops." Kushina stuck out her tongue sheepishly. "I can't help it, I'm just too strong."
"Don't get cocky. You're not That strong yet." Shin said.
"Would it kill you to complint ?" Kushina glared at Shin, annoyed by his criticism.
"I'm not praising you because I don't want you to be too cocky, so you don't think you're invincible."
"You two chat slowly, we have eaten everything," Tsunade said to Shin and Kushina.
Shin imdiately turned his head and looked. Looking at the last at skewer left, he was speechless.
"This is mine!" Kushina snatched the last skewer.
"..."
"Guess I'll have to make my own." Shin sighed and grabbed so raw skewers, starting to grill them.
"It's so delicious. It feels even better than the grilled at I ate at the restaurant in Konoha. If you open a barbecue restaurant, Shin, it will definitely be a hit," i Terumī said.
