After Jiraiya left, Shin glanced at Gamabunta, who was returning to Mount Myōboku.
Gamabunta was unaware that sothing extra had been added to it on its return trip—a Flying Thunder God mark.
Shin was, of course, the one who had placed it there.
"This trip wasn't a complete waste. I found the location of Mount Myōboku—" Shin smiled faintly. He wanted to et Gamamaru, the Great Toad Sage.
The Toad Sage possessed vast knowledge.
Gamamaru, Having guided Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki in mastering Sage Mode and possessing the ability to see the future through his dreams—was a valuable source of information.
Shin didn't leave imdiately. He turned his attention to the ongoing battle between Kimimaro and Guy.
Guy, with six gates open, was formidable, but he still couldn't defeat Kimimaro.
Kimimaro fought with all his might, heedless of the cost. Though at a disadvantage against Guy's attacks, he hadn't been defeated.
""
This was the seventh of the Eight Inner Gates, the gate before the Gate of Death. Opening it placed an imnse burden on Guy.
Blue steam, generated by evaporating sweat, enveloped his body. The chakra erupting from him surpassed that of a peak Kage.
The explosive power of the Eight Inner Gates was indeed terrifying. Its only drawback was its short duration; most ninja physiques couldn't sustain it for long.
After Guy opened the seventh gate, his hair stood on end, and his eyes showed only the whites, the pupils no longer visible.
An uninford observer might mistake Guy for a Hyūga clansman.
""
Opening the seventh gate, Guy imdiately unleashed his killing move. After all, the shorter the duration of the seventh gate, the better.
""
Kimimaro also used his strongest killing technique, as if it were his final swan song. Countless bones erupted from the ground, transforming the entire base into a hell of white bones.
"DIE!"
A spear ford from bone thrust towards Guy.
Guy's fist launched a tiger-shaped high-pressure air bullet, tearing through all the bones and lunging towards Kimimaro.
This was the first ti Guy had fought an enemy with his full strength, and also the first ti he had used the Dayti Tiger. Guy himself didn't know its true power.
BOOOOOOOOM!
Orochimaru's base was completely destroyed. The shockwave rippled out for several kiloters—all caused by Guy's Dayti Tiger.
Kimimaro was dead.
He couldn't withstand the Dayti Tiger's attack—Honestly, facing an attack of this magnitude, even Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo would be torn apart.
In the original story, Guy had severely injured Kisa with a single Dayti Tiger. Kisa's strength, within the Akatsuki, was at least upper-middle tier.
Guy knelt on the ground, his entire body wracked with needle-like pain. He couldn't even move a finger.
The aftermath of using the Eight Inner Gates was likely even more painful than using Susanoo with the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"An impressive attack. I'm even more interested in the Eight Inner Gates now." Shin nodded with satisfaction, then left.
He'd visit Mount Myōboku soti and have a chat with the Toad Sage. But not now.
He had to get back to the Land of Whirlpools in ti for dinner.

Shin arrived just as Mikoto was finishing up.
"I made extra, just in case you ca back," Mikoto said.
"That ans I'm lucky!" Shin replied with a smile. He then scanned the table; most of the dishes were fish. It seed Kushina and the others had gone fishing.
"Did you go fishing?"
"Yes. i Terumī dragged us along. Look at this giant crab! Isn't it huge?" Kushina held up a massive crab, gesturing towards Shin.
The crab was indeed enormous. Enough to feed three people—though not Kushina. She could probably eat ten crabs that size.
After dinner, Shin couldn't resist pulling Mikoto towards her room. As for what would happen next… Tsunade and the others knew all too well.
"He went to Mikoto again? That jerk!" Kushina grumbled, quite annoyed.
"Are you… jealous, Kushina?" Tsunade glanced at Kushina.
"Of course! Don't you want him to co to your room?" Kushina asked, looking at Tsunade. Then she turned to Konan. "Konan, don't you want your Shin-nii to spend ti with you?"
"Kushina-nee… why are you asking …?" Konan covered her face, embarrassed.
"Konan is still so shy. I can't resist teasing you!" Kushina sat down beside Konan and started pinching her cheeks.
"I can't stand bullies like you, Kushina! Konan, it's ti to fight back! How about we team up and punish Kushina?" i Terumī asked Konan.
Konan looked at i Terumī, then quickly moved away. Kushina, seeing this, imdiately pounced on i Terumī.
"What you just said… I can't pretend I didn't hear it! i Terumī, PREPARE TO DIE!" Kushina began tickling i Terumī, while Tsunade and Mikoto watched, amused.

"Hanabi, what are you doing?" Hinata found Hanabi and Karin eavesdropping at Mikoto's door and couldn't help but ask.
"Shh! Be quiet, Big Sister!" Hanabi surreptitiously glanced towards the living room. Seeing Kushina and the others hadn't heard, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"What are you doing?" Hinata also deliberately lowered her voice and asked Karin and Hanabi.
"N-Nothing…" Hanabi's eyes darted around, then she quickly signaled Karin for help.
"Y-You guys… you wouldn't be eavesdropping, would you?" Hinata glanced at Mikoto's door.
Thinking about Shin and Mikoto being inside together, her face instantly turned crimson, steam puffing from her head.
"Oh no! Big Sister is going to faint from shyness!" Hanabi, seeing Hinata's state, knew her sister was probably about to pass out.
Hanabi knew her sister well; if Hinata got too embarrassed, she would faint. Hanabi had seen her sister faint several tis already. She was much better now; before, she would faint from shyness at the slightest provocation.
Before Hinata collapsed, Karin managed to catch her, preventing her from falling to the ground.
"Let's take Hinata to her room first. And stop eavesdropping here. If we get caught, we'll be in trouble," Karin said to Hanabi.
Most importantly, even if they eavesdropped, they wouldn't hear anything. The soundproofing was too good.
Hanabi nodded.
If they were caught, they'd definitely be in trouble. She quickly helped carry her fainted sister away.
