"Kawada Heiwa is dead. Are we going back?" Mikoto asked Shin.
"Shin, let's stay out here and play for a bit longer, okay?"
Kushina pleaded, tugging on his arm.
"Call me 'big brother,' and I'll agree," Shin said with a smirk.
"No way! I'm older than you! You should be calling me 'big sister'!" Kushina retorted, turning away with a huff.
"Kushina, you're older than Shin?"
Mikoto looked at Kushina in surprise. She hadn't noticed.
"Of course! I was born three days earlier!" Kushina said proudly.
"What's there to be proud of?" Shin flicked her forehead, earning him a yelp.
Seeing her pout, Shin quickly changed the subject. "We're not going back to Konoha just yet."
"You agreed!" Kushina's pout vanished, and she clung to his arm excitedly.
"We're going to the Land of Water."
Shin looked towards the Land of Water.
"The Land of Water? Why?" Kushina and Mikoto asked in unison.
"Kirigakure was definitely involved in the Uzumaki Clan massacre. Time to collect some interest."
"But is it safe to go there? Just the three of us?" Mikoto asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. We won't be in any danger."
Shin smiled confidently. In the current Shinobi world, even Madara Uchiha couldn't threaten him. If he couldn't win, he could always escape.
They left the Land of Whirlpools and returned to the Land of Fire, then took a ship to the Land of Water.
"We can't escape the fate of riding a ship, huh?" Kushina grumbled.
"Kushina, just because you got seasick last time doesn't mean you will this time. See? You're not feeling sick at all."
Shin reassured her.
After a day's journey, they arrived on a small island in the Land of Water. It wasn't the main island, but one of the smaller ones surrounding it.
This time, Kushina didn't get seasick, and neither did Mikoto.
"Kushina, Mikoto, I've scouted the island. It's safe. Stay here for now."
Shin said.
He had already told them about his plan to infiltrate Kirigakure. He wasn't taking them with him.
He could protect himself, but taking Kushina and Mikoto into Kirigakure was too risky.
"I know we'll just hold you back, so we won't go. But you have to be back within three days, or we'll come looking for you."
Kushina said seriously.
She wasn't going to throw a tantrum and demand to go with him. She knew she'd be a burden. But she set a deadline.
If Shin didn't return within three days, she would go to Kirigakure to find him.
"Shin, be careful," Mikoto said.
"Don't worry, I can always escape if I can't win. With my Space-Time Ninjutsu, no one can stop me," Shin said confidently.
He had a trump card, after all. Kirigakure wasn't the weakened village it would become after the Bloody Mist era. It was still a powerful force.
Shin was strong, but he couldn't take on an entire village alone. Only those at the level of Madara Uchiha or Hashirama Senju could do that.
It took him less than half an hour to reach the main island. After asking around, he found the location of Kirigakure.
He killed a Kiri Shinobi and used the Transformation Jutsu to disguise himself, entering the village undetected.
The guards at the village gates couldn't see through his disguise.
"The current Mizukage is the Third Mizukage. I wonder how strong he is."
Shin sat in a ramen shop, pondering.
Information on the Third Mizukage was scarce. Shin didn't even know his abilities. But he was sure the Third Mizukage wasn't that strong.
If he were, he wouldn't have been controlled by an elderly Madara Uchiha.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Shin suspected that the Third Mizukage had been under Madara's control during the Third Shinobi World War. He didn't know if that was still the case.
He finished his ramen. It was quite good.
Shin had several objectives in Kirigakure. One was to acquire Kekkei Genkai.
The Kaguya Clan in Kirigakure possessed the Shikotsumyaku Kekkei Genkai. They were suspected to be related to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
Perhaps Shikotsumyaku was derived from the All-Killing Ash Bones. It was just speculation, but it didn't really matter.
Shin wasn't interested in copying Shikotsumyaku. He had two reasons. First, it had a drawback: the Shikotsumyaku disease. Although he had the perfect Sage Body and theoretically shouldn't be affected, he didn't want to risk it.
Second, not every Kaguya Clan member possessed Shikotsumyaku. Perhaps there weren't any with an awakened Kekkei Genkai right now.
He wanted the Ice Release of the Mizunashi Clan.
(OC Clan of Hyōton - Ice Release)
And he also wanted the Forbidden Scroll, which contained Kirigakure's secret Jutsu.
First, Copy Ice Release. Then, try to steal the Forbidden Scroll. The scroll was a valuable item; obtaining it wouldn't be easy. Shin didn't have high hopes.
He used his Sharingan to hypnotize several Kiri Shinobi and learned the location of the Mizunashi Clan.
He infiltrated the Mizunashi Clan compound and copied the Ice Release from a clan member.
Not every Mizunashi had awakened Ice Release. It took Shin a while to find a suitable target.
He used an Advanced Replication Card. He now had one Advanced card left and one Common card.
Although he had copied the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, he didn't know any Ice Release Jutsu. To avoid causing a commotion, he didn't search for any scrolls within the Mizunashi Clan compound.
It didn't matter. He was confident he could create his own Ice Release Jutsu, and they would be even stronger than the Mizunashi's.
He went to a small forest in Kirigakure and waited for nightfall.
Copying Ice Release was done. Stealing the Forbidden Scroll during the day was too risky. He would wait until the dead of night.
In the Shinobi world, the dead of night wasn't the best time to act. Shinobi were more alert at night.
The best time was just before dawn, when their guard was down.
Shin decided to wait. He leaned against a tree and refined Chakra.
He also activated the Mind's Eye of Kagura, scanning Kirigakure.
