Mabui hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
However, thinking about her own performance just now, which wasn't much better than Samui's, she ultimately said nothing.
Hokage Office;
Shinho picked up the documents on the desk. They were about the Gelel mineral mine.
The Anbu had already organised the mining, and it was estimated that it wouldn't be too long before a batch of Stones of Gelel would be transported back.
Two hours later, Shinho finished processing all the documents. He thought for a moment, then took out the Connect Luck Gu. He hadn't used it before because he was worried about connecting to bad luck. But now that he had Reverse Misfortune Gu, he could try its effect.
Who to connect with?
Shinho pondered for a moment and decided on Tenten, the acknowledged 'lucky charm'. After all, she could even pick up Six Paths Tools just by walking around.
In an instant, Shinho had a vague sense of connection. But because luck was ethereal and intangible, nothing happened for the time being.
Just then, a knock sounded on the door. Shinho let out a soft "Huh?" Had it worked so quickly? But when he saw Ino walk in, he knew he was overthinking it. She was clearly here for training.
...
Mount Myōboku.
Poof!
As the smoke dissipated, Gamakichi appeared.
"Why have you suddenly returned today?" Fukasaku slowly walked up to him and asked, "Is there something new?"
"Yes." Gamakichi said in a deep voice, "I heard some very important intelligence, related to Sasuke."
"Come with me to see Great Lord Elder." Fukasaku immediately said with a serious expression.
Gamakichi nodded.
The two toads arrived deep within Mount Myōboku and entered the temple.
"Great Lord Elder." Gamakichi stepped forward and said, "What you asked Naruto to inquire about is now clear."
The Great Toad Sage slightly opened his eyes upon hearing this.
"The method to awaken the Rinnegan was taught to him by Shinho Aburame." Gamakichi continued.
"It really is him." The Great Toad Sage said slowly. He had some guesses before, and now they had come true.
"Is Shinho helping Sasuke Uchiha awaken his eyes simply to help him become stronger?" The Great Toad Sage thought for a moment and asked.
"No." Gamakichi shook his head and said, "Sasuke said that Shinho wants him to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki."
"What?!" The Great Toad Sage was shocked, losing his previous composure.
"Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki?" Fukasaku was also taken aback and asked, "What does Shinho want to do?" In his opinion, a Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki was completely unnecessary.
Because Shinho was already the strongest in the Shinobi World. And weren't the nine Tailed Beasts already the power sources for the nine major cities?
"Could it be to deal with Mount Myōboku?" Fukasaku thought of the prophecy and blurted out.
The Great Toad Sage fell into silence.
This was indeed possible. But the possibility was not particularly high. Because Shinho could already defeat Ryūchi Cave. Even if Mount Myōboku was a little stronger than Ryūchi Cave, it was only slightly stronger, not needing a Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki.
The Great Toad Sage's mind suddenly conjured up that terrifying name.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who had terrified them a thousand years ago. But some things didn't make sense. Why would Shinho release Kaguya Ōtsutsuki? And they didn't even know each other. Maybe Shinho didn't even know of Kaguya's existence.
"You may leave." The Great Toad Sage waved his hand and said.
"Yes." Gamakichi disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Great Lord Elder?" Fukasaku looked at the Great Toad Sage. His eyes were full of confusion.
"The situation is unclear right now, so don't act rashly for now." The Great Toad Sage said after a moment of thought, "Send some toads to keep an eye on Sasuke Uchiha."
"Okay." Fukasaku nodded.
The Great Toad Sage closed his eyes again. In a daze, he drifted into sleep.
Suddenly, a delicate face appeared in his vision. And on it were three eyes, a pair of Byakugan and a Rinne Sharingan on the forehead.
The Great Toad Sage suddenly woke up with a start.
He looked at the empty hall, gasping for breath. That face, it was a face that he would never forget in his life, because she was Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
"Is this a new prophecy?" The Great Toad Sage was completely stunned.
His dreams were always related to prophecies. Did this mean he would see Kaguya again, or that she would break free in the future?
The Great Toad Sage also thought of the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki that Gamakichi had mentioned earlier.
Prophecies arising so close in time must be related.
"I have to find a way to contact Hagoromo." The Great Toad Sage took a deep breath and said. Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, also known as the Sage of Six Paths, had died of old age.
But only he knew that he had not completely perished, but was in the Pure Land. Asura and Indra, as the Sage of Six Paths' two sons, could reincarnate their chakra.
The even more powerful Sage of Six Paths naturally could as well. It was just that he was unwilling. He wanted to stay in the Pure Land to observe the Shinobi World and monitor Kaguya.
The Great Toad Sage was a close friend of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki in his youth and had helped him.
Even after thousands of years, he could still talk to him. The only trouble was that the Pure Land was relatively difficult to establish a connection with. But it wasn't impossible.
...
Hokage Office.
Shinho stood at the door of the second-floor training room, sizing up Ino.
She was wearing a tight-fitting top, and her full curves rose and fell slightly with her breath. Her youthful face had a faint glow, and her rosy lips were pursed, looking very soft.
Shinho suddenly realized that Ino was no less attractive than Hinata. Although it wasn't obvious in the early stages, in the later stages, she also possessed a considerable burden.
The flowing Yin Chakra stopped.
Ino looked up, her beautiful eyes subconsciously meeting Shinho's. She paused slightly and asked, "Were you waiting for me, Shinho?"
"I finished processing the documents, so I came up to check on your progress." Shinho waved his hand casually and put away the Cleanse Soul Immortal Gu.
"I feel like I'm improving every day." Ino put down her fair feet, changed into shoes, and walked up to him, saying.
"Let me see." Shinho reached out and placed his hand on her smooth, delicate abdomen.
Caught off guard, Ino's body trembled slightly, and a blush appeared on her face.
"Your Yin Chakra is twice as strong as before." Shinho said pretentiously.
"It's all thanks to you, Shinho." Ino said, enduring the sensation on her abdomen.
"Besides cultivation, you can consider developing some new ninjutsu," Shinho said, withdrawing his hand.
"That's a good idea!" Ino's eyes lit up as she said.
It wasn't that the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques were bad, but they were all support-type. She wanted to develop some secret techniques for combat.
"Do you have any suggestions?" Ino looked at him, her face filled with anticipation.
"How about trying to improve the Mind Body Switch Technique?" Shinho thought of Professor X from American comics in his previous life and asked, "Directly controlling other people's minds, manipulating their behavior."
The biggest drawback of the Mind Body Switch Technique was that while it controlled others, the user also couldn't move. And if the controlled person was injured, it would also affect the user.
"In addition to mind control, there's also building psychic prisons and sesonating with others min d." Shinho detailed Professor X's abilities to Ino based on his memory.
Psychic prisons were about tampering with memories, fundamentally changing a person's personality. Resonating with others mind was about remote manipulation, using brainwaves to access the actions of everyone within range.
"Shinho, you're amazing!" Ino couldn't help but reveal an admiring gaze.
She had just asked casually, but she hadn't expected Shinho to give her three directions. Each direction not only seemed powerful but also feasible.
"Then how do you want to thank me?" Shinho smiled, his gaze falling on her lips.
Ino noticed his gaze and couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart.
She hesitated for a few seconds, then stood on tiptoes and kissed him. Unlike Hinata's shyness, her actions were much bolder.
When Shinho deepened the kiss, his hands were not idle. He gently stroked her waist, which had no excess fat, and following the curve of her side waist, reached her buttocks.
The blush on Ino's face became even more pronounced. She naturally noticed the hands.
But she didn't stop them, instead tightly embracing Shinho, engaging in a heated lip battle.
After a long time, they parted lips. Ino opened her mouth, breathing in fresh air.
"Your waist is very soft," Shinho said with a smile.
In terms of waist and curves, Ino was not as exaggerated as Samui and Tsunade, but it was just right, perfectly proportioned.
"I... is it?" Ino lowered her head, feeling her face burning hot and her heart beating fast.
"It's great," Shinho said truthfully.
"D-don't say such strange things," Ino couldn't take it anymore and couldn't help but say with a blush.
"Then let's not talk about it," Shinho patted her head and said, "I'll take you home."
"Mm," Ino responded softly.
The Yamanaka flower shop wasn't far. Shinho took her home and then returned to the Hokage's office.
"Hokage-sama." Samui knocked on the door and walked in.
"What is it?" Shinho was already planning to get off work.
"Would you like to come over to my place?" Samui asked softly.
"Not tonight," Shinho shook his head and said.
If he didn't go home for two nights in a row, Tsunade would definitely be very unhappy.
Samui hesitated, wanting to say something but stopped, ultimately reluctantly nodding.
Shinho walked up to her.
His gaze fell on her full, fair curves, and then he put his arm around her waist.
"You can move to the inner palace after a while," Shinho said in her ear.
Inner palace? Samui couldn't help but reveal a surprised expression.
This meant Shinho had decided to treat her as family. For a moment, her emotions surged, and finally, she couldn't help but kiss him.
Shinho was slightly taken aback.
He felt like Samui was so excited she was going to devour him. This made him a little puzzled. But he didn't think too much about it.
Shinho held Samui, already planning how to talk to Tsunade about this tonight. Without her consent, it wouldn't be good for Samui to move to the inner palace.
An idea struck Shinho. Perhaps he could use that move, which was marriage.
Because of their identities and positions, Tsunade had always been somewhat unwilling to marry.
More precisely, to hold a public wedding ceremony. If he could break through Tsunade's defenses, then the rest would be smooth sailing.
