After taming the ninja dogs of the Inuzuka clan one by one, Shishou, having had his fill of fun, let them go and went to the living room to watch TV.
A few minutes later,
Kiba, now clean and dressed in fresh clothes, joined Shishou in the living room, taking out a game controller to play video games together.
Seeing Kiba with Shishou, Akamaru quickly ran off to find Inuzuka Hana in the kitchen.
After some time, Sakura also arrived at the Inuzuka house.
Seeing Shishou and Kiba playing games, she walked into the kitchen and offered, "Sister Hana, let me help you."
Inuzuka Hana waved her hand, "No need. You go play with Shishou and Kiba in the living room."
As a guest, Hana couldn't possibly let Sakura help with the chores.
Seeing this, Sakura pleaded, "Sister Hana, I want to learn cooking. Please let me stay and learn."
Hearing Sakura's request, Hana couldn't refuse any longer.
"Alright, then help me wash these vegetables."
"Sure, Sister Hana."
By sunset, Hana and Sakura had prepared a sumptuous dinner.
After they all had dinner together, Shishou was the first to take his leave.
Originally, Sakura also planned to leave with Shishou, but Hana held her back, teaching her some tips and tricks known only to ninja clans.
Sakura was naturally very grateful for this.
Meanwhile,
After leaving the Inuzuka house, Shishou returned home and then continued to Ryuchi Cave for his Senjutsu training.
Thanks to the White Snake Sage's Senjutsu bloodline, his mastery of Senjutsu had significantly accelerated over the past year.
He could now enter Sage Mode instantly, just like the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.
He no longer needed to have a shadow clone enter Sage Mode first and then use the feedback mechanism from the clone to achieve instant activation.
"Master."
As soon as Shishou appeared on the lotus platform in Ryuchi Cave, the three snake princesses, who were meditating on three cushions, immediately ended their training and respectfully greeted him.
"Carry on with your duties."
With a casual command, Shishou turned and walked towards the lotus platform.
"Yes, Master."
The three snake princesses respectfully replied, with one remaining to attend to Shishou while the other two continued their training.
Seated on the lotus platform, Shishou took out a scroll from his back and carefully examined it.
The scroll contained the White Snake Sage's insights and forbidden techniques on the Ryuchi Cave's Immortality Transformation Senjutsu.
It would help Shishou quickly master and become proficient in the Ryuchi Cave's Immortality Transformation techniques.
Once Shishou successfully mastered the Immortality Transformation Senjutsu from Ryuchi Cave,
he could head to Mount Myoboku and confront the Great Toad Sage.
If he succeeded in killing the Great Toad Sage and took control of Mount Myoboku,
the three great Senjutsu sanctuaries of the ninja world—Shikkotsu Forest, Ryuchi Cave, and Mount Myoboku—would all fall under his control.
At that point, he might attempt to merge the Senjutsu techniques from all three sanctuaries to create his own unique Senjutsu training method.
And explore ways to achieve immortality through Senjutsu.
An hour later,
Shishou memorized all the key points from the scroll and put it away. Using the Flying Thunder God technique, he transported himself to the moon's surface.
Then, he clapped his hands.
Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode, activate!
A vast amount of Sage Chakra immediately flowed into Shishou's body from all directions, gathering around him to form a faint white Sage Chakra cloak.
Seeing the pale Sage Chakra cloak, which was much dimmer than the White Snake Sage's, Shishou frowned slightly.
The Sage Chakra cloak was a sign of having an immense and dense amount of Sage Chakra within one's body, appearing only when entering Sage Mode.
It was also proof of mastering Senjutsu to the extreme.
The denser the Sage Chakra and the stronger the control over it, the brighter the Sage Chakra cloak would be when Sage Mode was activated.
Despite his long hours of Senjutsu training, Shishou could now form his own Sage Chakra cloak.
But he remembered how the White Snake Sage would become a radiant being upon entering Sage Mode,
unlike his own cloak, which looked like just another layer of clothing.
"I'm still far from the White Snake Sage's level," Shishou murmured, forming hand seals.
Sage Art: Immortality Transformation: Rock Layer Serpent!
After completing the hand seals, a vast amount of Senjutsu energy surged from Shishou's body into the moon's surface.
Boom! Boom!
The next second, the moon's surface around Shishou began to move like a living serpent, rumbling continuously.
Seeing the moon's surface move under his control, Shishou deeply appreciated the power of the Immortality Transformation technique.
This made him even more respectful of the White Snake Sage's abilities.
If it hadn't been for the Great Slug Sage personally maintaining the seal around Ryuchi Cave, along with the help of Hyuga Rimei, Kushina, Mikoto, and others,
Shishou wouldn't have been able to defeat the White Snake Sage.
Watching the moving moon's surface, Shishou began shaping the rock layers into his desired forms, training his control over his Senjutsu Chakra.
"Tsk, tsk, although a bit rough, it feels pretty good."
Seeing the swimsuit Tifa statue he created from the moon's surface rock layers, Shishou nodded in satisfaction.
He might not have played Final Fantasy, but he was very familiar with Tifa and Aerith.
Next, he shaped an Aerith wedding dress statue beside Tifa.
Then came Yuffie and the villainess...
As Shishou continued practicing, his control over his Senjutsu Chakra improved steadily.
He believed it wouldn't be long before his Senjutsu mastery reached a new level.
Senjutsu energy was a mix of natural energy and one's own Chakra.
For a Senjutsu practitioner, natural energy was an external force—powerful and dangerous, capable of inflicting fatal harm if mishandled.
The larger the amount of Senjutsu energy within, the harder it was to control.
To draw natural energy from the earth instantly, as Naruto did in the later stages of the original series, Shishou needed to continually enhance his control over Senjutsu energy.
Perfect control over Senjutsu energy was essential to avoid backlash.
For Shishou, continuing to train and refine his Senjutsu was a matter of continually increasing his Senjutsu energy, then taming it, increasing again, and taming it once more.
Repeating this process would eventually allow Shishou to control Senjutsu energy as effortlessly as the White Snake Sage.
At that point, even if he hadn't awakened the Rinnegan, he could face and defeat Six Paths level opponents.

"It's done, Black Lily."
Looking at the Black Lily statue he created using the Immortality Rebirth technique, Shishou nodded in satisfaction.
Next to the Black Lily statue stood over a dozen giant female statues he had sculpted as practice for controlling Sage energy.
"Let's call it a day."
With a wave of his hand, Shishou reverted the statues back into the ground.
Afterward, he exited Sage Mode and disappeared from the spot.
...
Late at night.
Konoha, Kurenai Yuhi's residence.
"Who's there?!"
In the midst of her training in the courtyard, Kurenai sensed something, interrupting her practice. She warily stared at the corridor nearby.
After abandoning ordinary genjutsu training, Kurenai had focused on Yin Release perception techniques to ensure her Yin Release chakra wouldn't go to waste. Nothing in the courtyard could escape her notice.
Just now, she sensed someone entering her courtyard.
"Kurenai, it's been a while."
Shishou emerged from the shadows of the corridor, smiling at Kurenai.
He had resumed his usual appearance of a six-foot-tall man with a beard, recognized as the Flying Thunder God user who was renowned in the ninja world.
"You..."
Seeing the familiar figure she had longed for, Kurenai froze as if struck by lightning.
Although she had imagined countless scenarios of meeting this man again, she found herself at a loss for how to react now that he was here.
Quickly recovering from her shock, Kurenai's face turned cold, and she said icily, "Tsunade-sama has left Konoha."
She assumed he was there for Tsunade. According to her information, Tsunade had left the village the previous day to train in Shikkotsu Forest.
Since Shishou was known as the Flying Thunder God user and Karinjia, Kurenai had always thought he was an outsider to Konoha.
Ignoring her statement, Shishou walked into the courtyard, glancing at the training equipment scattered around.
"It looks like you've been training hard these past few years, Kurenai."
Reflecting on this, Shishou smiled at the cold-faced Kurenai.
"I'm not here to see Tsunade. I came to see you."
Hearing that Shishou was there for her, Kurenai's heart trembled, and her feigned indifference shattered.
She quickly turned her back to him, struggling to control her emotions, and said coldly, "I have nothing left to offer a great man like you, the Flying Thunder God user."
"You should leave."
Last time, to repay Shishou for saving her life, she had already given him her family's Yin Release training methods. What remained were just ordinary genjutsu techniques.
These techniques were of little use to her now, let alone to Shishou.
Seeing Kurenai's stubborn demeanor, Shishou frowned slightly.
He had never understood why she was so resistant to him.
If she truly disliked his flirtatious nature and didn't want to see him, why had she cried so bitterly after driving him away three years ago?
With these questions in mind, Shishou decided to find answers tonight.
He swiftly appeared behind Kurenai, grabbing her right hand.
Kurenai gasped as Shishou seized her hand.
She tried to punch him with her left hand, but he caught it with his other hand.
Shishou pinned her arms behind her back, holding her in his embrace.
"Let go of me!"
Her hands bound and her body pressed against his, Kurenai felt a mix of shame and anger. Her face turned crimson, though whether from embarrassment or fury, she didn't know.
Looking at the woman in his arms, Shishou asked seriously, "Kurenai, why do you hate me so much?"
His words made Kurenai's heart ache with a sudden pang of sadness.
If she truly hated Shishou, why did she often dream of him and the fiery sunset where he performed his jutsu?
Why did she secretly visit the bridge outside Konoha every month, hoping he would appear again?
But these were things she couldn't say to Shishou.
She didn't want to lose all her dignity in front of him, nor appear as a pathetic, lovelorn fool.
Especially considering his relationship with Tsunade, she couldn't express her feelings.
So, Kurenai could only turn her head away and remain silent.
Silence was her only option, torn between her true feelings and the inability to reveal them.
Seeing her silent, Shishou spoke again, "Kurenai, just say the word."
"And I will never bother you again."
He stared at her, unblinking.
He had no intention of truly leaving her alone, as they were now teacher and student, seeing each other daily. His words were merely a strategic retreat.
Hearing Shishou say he would never seek her out again, Kurenai's pent-up longing over the past three years turned into overwhelming grief and sorrow.
Her lips quivered, and tears flowed from her eyes, soaking Shishou's clothes.
Seeing her sudden tears, Shishou was stunned. He quickly released her.
Why was she crying all of a sudden?
He was even more perplexed by her now.
Thinking it over, Shishou took out two scrolls and said, "These scrolls contain the Senjutsu training methods of Ryuchi Cave and Shikkotsu Forest. You can choose one to practice."
"The other scroll contains the summoning contracts for my three snake princesses. When practicing Senjutsu, you must summon them to watch over you, or it could be dangerous."
He handed the scrolls to her.
Kurenai, seeing the scrolls, bit her lip and stared blankly at Shishou.
Seeing her reaction, Shishou sighed.
"Sorry."
With that, he placed the scrolls on the ground and prepared to leave.
Hearing his apology, Kurenai assumed he really intended never to see her again, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.
Seeing him set the scrolls down and turn to leave, she instinctively reached out and grabbed his sleeve.
Seeing this, Shishou turned to face her, raising an eyebrow.
Kurenai, startled by her own action, looked up at him with a blush spreading across her face.
The atmosphere suddenly became very intimate.
