The sun shone brightly.
Shin lay on a lounge chair in the courtyard, i Terumī nestled in his arms, eating waterlon slices Mikoto had prepared, while looking sympathetically at Konan.
Konan had been "captured" by Tsunade and was currently being forced to teach her how to cook.
Unable to learn from Mikoto, Tsunade had turned to Konan, whose culinary skills were only slightly better than Tsunade's.
"Poor Konan. Teaching soone with zero culinary talent has to be torture."
Shin sighed. It was like teaching a first-grader advanced calculus—the difficulty was imnse.
"Shin, I just made tomato and egg soup. Co try it."
Tsunade's words struck Shin like a death knell. He shivered, his hair standing on end.
"Ahem, I need to go check on Karin, Hinata, and Hanabi's training. Let i try it." Shin tossed i Terumī to the wolves—er, Tsunade—and fled.
i Terumī gritted her teeth. If Shin were still here, she'd bite a chunk out of him. She'd even change her na if she didn't.
It wasn't that Shin was overreacting. Tsunade's tomato and egg soup was purple and constantly bubbling.
It reminded Shin of So evil sorcerer's potion.
Shin definitely didn't want to taste that...
He had no choice but to run. As for throwing i to the wolves… well, that just showed Shin had no sha.

Fleeing to the training grounds, Shin saw Karin, Hinata, and Hanabi sitting there, happily sipping waterlon juice.
"Well, well. You said you were coming to train, but you're slacking off here? Busted!"
Shin placed his hands on Hinata and Hanabi's heads.
"Ah! It was Big Sister who taught to slack off! It has nothing to do with !"
Hanabi quickly tried to shift the bla to her older sister, Hinata. Having such a sister was truly Hinata's misfortune.
"Heh, you think I'd believe that? Hinata is well-behaved—she would never teach you to slack off."
Shin stroked Hinata's smooth, long hair.
Long-haired Hinata was truly beautiful. And now that Hinata had fully matured, she was a stunning beauty.
Hearing Shin say that, Hinata felt a sweetness in her heart. She couldn't help but lean back against Shin. Her face flushed red. Though still shy, she no longer fainted from embarrassnt.
"Shin-sama, I'm a little dizzy. I think I have heatstroke."
Karin swayed, then collapsed into Shin's arms.
"Heatstroke??" Shin asked, looking at the feigning-unconsciousness Karin.
Karin didn't speak, just nuzzled her head against Shin's chest.
"Oh no! My glasses fell off! I can't see! Where are my glasses?"
Karin suddenly exclaid, her small hands fumbling around.
"Your glasses are on the ground. Why are you groping Shin-nii? You pervert!"
Hanabi glared at Karin, then "kindly" picked up the glasses and handed them to Karin.
Karin gritted her teeth. Is Hanabi deliberately trying to ruin her plan?
Karin was right. Hanabi was deliberately sabotaging her. Who asked her to be so theatrical?
"Alright, Hanabi, that's enough rest. Ti to train—" Hinata gently pulled away from Shin's embrace. Hmm, leaving his embrace felt a little empty.
"Train now? Can't we rest a little longer?" Hanabi looked pitifully at Hinata.
"No! You little bum, All you do is slack off!" Karin smacked Hanabi's shoulder. If Hanabi was going to ruin her plans, Karin would return the favor.
"Hinata, you rest for a bit. I'll guide Hanabi."
After saying that, Karin dragged Hanabi off to train, supervising her with the strictest thods.
"You're just getting back at !" Hanabi complained.
"Yes, I am." Karin nodded, not denying it at all. She was getting revenge; there was no need to deny it.
"Hmph! Just you wait!" Hanabi conceded defeat this ti, but she wouldn't forget. She'd get revenge later when she had the chance.
"I'll be waiting. You don't scare ," Karin scoffed dismissively.
Could Hanabi really do anything to get back at her? Karin didn't believe it. But Hanabi was a cunning little imp; she'd have to be careful.
Karin strictly supervised Hanabi's training.
Though harsh, she didn't hold back on teaching Hanabi what she needed to know, including sealing techniques.
Unfortunately, Hanabi couldn't learn them.
Without the talent, even the best instruction was useless. It was like Tsunade's talent for cooking.
Mikoto's cooking skills were arguably the best in the entire Shinobi world, yet she still couldn't teach Tsunade.
Shin sat to the side, chatting with Hinata.
Hinata wasn't training—they had primarily co out to guide Hanabi's training.
Hinata's strength had likely reached its limit. Even with diligent training, she wouldn't see much improvent.
———
It wasn't until evening that Shin stood up, taking Karin, Hinata, and Hanabi back ho.
As soon as he returned, Shin saw i's demonic, scary expression.
"Uh, i, you actually drank it?" Shin couldn't help but ask. Did she really drink Tsunade's tomato and egg soup?
"Guess..." i Terumī grimaced.
Seeing her expression, Shin already had a good idea. She really had drunk it. But Shin guessed she'd probably been forced to. Otherwise, he didn't think i would willingly drink it.
"What do you think I should do to you?"
i Terumī took out a kunai and gestured threateningly at Shin, feeling an increasingly uncontrollable urge to stab him.
"Don't get excited! Look, I'll compensate you with myself, alright?" Shin said, putting on an expression of great sacrifice.
"If i-neechan doesn't want you, I'll take you," Karin couldn't help but interject.
"Hmph, he's already mine." i Terumī huffed lightly.
However, her words imdiately drew dissatisfaction from Kushina, Mikoto, Tsunade and the others.
Had she claid Shin for herself?
So, i imdiately faced a barrage of criticism from the other won, and it was precisely their attack that allowed Shin to escape this predicant.
Shin felt a little bad for i Terumī, who'd made such a sacrifice...
