Chapter 268: An Inescapable Gaze...

"Your ability can even seal ninjutsu?"

Seeing the Great Fireball sealed by Kushina, Shishou smiled.

If Kushina could seal ninjutsu, most jutsu would be useless against her.

There was no denying it, Kushina's storage seal ability was pretty impressive.

"Haha~"

Kushina laughed and said to Shishou, "It's not just about sealing, you know."

Shishou paused for a moment, then thought of something and looked at Kushina with a stunned expression. "You mean..."

"Exactly what you think!"

Seeing Shishou's expression, Kushina's vanity was greatly satisfied. She smiled, made a pulling motion with her hand, and then moved aside.

In the next second, the Great Fireball that she had sealed into the void reappeared, flying into the distance before exploding with a roar.

"How about that? I'm pretty awesome now, right?"

Kushina flew in front of Shishou, smiling brightly.

When she first realized how powerful her new abilities were, she was quite startled herself.

"You are indeed very impressive," Shishou praised Kushina once more.

With these two abilities, Kushina had instantly reached the super-Kage level.

When Shishou reaches the Six Paths level, her power would also rise, potentially reaching the Six Paths level as well, making her extraordinarily powerful!

Kushina crossed her arms, wearing a 'of course' expression.

Shishou chuckled and extended his right hand to Kushina, smiling.

"Give me your hand. Hiding it won't help."

When Kushina sealed the Great Fireball, she had to touch it, so her hand was slightly burned.

"I was just worried you'd make fun of me."

Kushina muttered, then extended her right hand to Shishou, revealing her burned palm.

Grabbing her hand, Shishou placed his hand over it, using his healing bugs to heal her.

After the healing was complete, Shishou said to Kushina:

"I'll send you back for now. I need to visit the Land of Demons."

"If there's anything you need, just let me know, and I'll bring it to you."

Fertilizers had already been promoted in the Land of Lightning and the Land of Water, so their grain production would undoubtedly increase dramatically next year.

Therefore, Shishou needed to establish a grain trade association to purchase large quantities of grain and also develop his breeding grounds in the Land of Demons.

He needed to discuss this with Priestess Miroku, Uzumaki Eri, and Konan.

As for Kushina, her evolution required a vast amount of energy, which couldn't be achieved overnight.

So Shishou didn't plan to let her continue evolving for now.

He intended to wait until the breeding ground was up and running, providing sufficient energy, before letting her continue growing.

Seeing Shishou about to leave, Kushina pursed her lips and looked at him.

"Aren't you planning to do something else first..."

She flew in front of Shishou, wrapping herself around him.

"Uh..."

Seeing Kushina being so proactive, Shishou was a bit unaccustomed and laughed, "This doesn't seem like you."

As a Spirit Bug, Kushina was already bound to him and could only stay by his side for life.

So Shishou wasn't in a rush regarding their relationship.

It was something that would happen sooner or later.

Moreover, with Kushina's enormous potential, Shishou believed that pressuring her would only be counterproductive.

However, Shishou didn't expect that while he wasn't in a rush, Kushina was.

Blushing, Kushina didn't know what to say. Initially, she did resist Shishou a bit, and their intimate interactions later were mostly because Shishou had done so much for her, making her feel guilty and wanting to compensate him.

But after realizing how powerful her new abilities were, she genuinely felt she owed Shishou a lot.

And Kushina knew that relationships were mutual. Since Shishou had given so much, she needed to reciprocate.

That's why she was being so proactive today.

With a flash of light, Kushina transformed into her pre-death form as a married woman.

The person she was most familiar with was naturally herself.

Then, Kushina said to Shishou:

"I heard from Mikoto that you prefer this look..."

Blushing, she glanced at Shishou.

Seeing Kushina's shy, wifely demeanor, Shishou narrowed his eyes and said:

"You don't have to force yourself..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

Because Kushina had lifted her shirt, revealing her smooth, flat belly.

On her belly, a swirling pattern appeared, like a black hole, constantly drawing Shishou's gaze, making it inescapable.

Is this how you test your subordinates...

Seeing Shishou's expression, Kushina's lips curved into a slight smile.

Wrapping her arms around Shishou's neck, she laughed softly.

"What are you waiting for!"

Hearing this, Shishou instantly turned into a ravenous wolf.

...

After taking his relationship with Kushina a step further,

Shishou stayed on the moon for a long time, spending time with her exploring various places.

It wasn't until Kushina felt that continuing this would be too absurd that he sent her back to Fire Source City to live with Mikoto and the others.

After that, Shishou headed to the Land of Demons to implement his breeding ground plan.

Many of his ideas were from modern breeding techniques he encountered in his previous life.

It took a few days for Shishou to explain his breeding ground plan to Priestess Miroku, Uzumaki Eri, and Konan.

Afterward, Shishou started designing various breeding ground blueprints for Priestess Miroku and the others to follow in the future.

The officials in the Land of Demons began constructing large breeding bases under Priestess Miroku's instructions.

Konan and Uzumaki Eri started recruiting staff for the breeding bases.

Shishou then returned to Fire Source City, instructing his lab assistant to study the necessary feed for animal breeding to accelerate the growth of pigs, cows, sheep, and other livestock.

Next, Shishou went to Kumogakure to ask the Fourth Raikage to help research some modern animal breeding devices and tools.

After doing all this, Shishou informed the women and returned alone to the moon, where he focused on Sage Jutsu training under Little Katsuyu's guidance.

His Rinnegan was awakening, and Hyuga Rimei's Tenseigan only needed further enhancement of her Otsutsuki bloodline to awaken.

So, what Shishou needed to do was focus on his Sage Jutsu training.

Only by successfully mastering Sage Jutsu and activating Sage Mode could he kill the White Snake Sage, take control of Ryuchi Cave, and find Orochimaru with the scroll, using Kotoamatsukami to control him and make him work for him.

Of course, besides Sage Jutsu training, Shishou would occasionally send text messages to bombard the sleeping Kaguya Otsutsuki, hoping to wake her up...

Time passed quickly during his training.
