"Shin, I wasn't kidding. I think that girl really has a thing for you. Mikoto, Kushina, what do you think?"

Tsunade looked at Mikoto and Kushina.

"Does she?" Kushina asked, confused. She hadn't noticed. She thought Mei and Shin didn't get along very well.

Tsunade shook her head. She shouldn't have asked Kushina.

"Maybe. Mei seems to care about what you think, Shin," Mikoto said after a moment of thought.

BAM!

"Don't talk nonsense! I have no feelings for him!"

Mei Terumī burst into the room, her face flushed, vehemently denying their accusations.

She had just returned and overheard their conversation. She glared at Shin. How dare they say she liked him? He was so annoying!

"Ouch, Saying that in front of me hurts my feelings. You're making me feel like I'm not attractive."

Shin flicked her forehead.

"Just you wait! One day I'll beat you up!" Mei Terumī threatened.

"Girl, you've got guts. Good luck with that." Kushina stood behind Mei, patting her shoulder, and smirked.

Mei Terumī felt a bit nervous after making her bold statement, but when she saw Shin looking at her, she raised her chin defiantly. She wouldn't back down.

"Well, you guys keep chatting—I'll be taking her outside for a little… lesson."

Shin stood up with a smile and dragged Mei Terumī away. Mei Terumī struggled, but it was futile.

She vowed not to give in; she had her pride.

"What's going on?"

Konan had just entered and saw Shin dragging Mei Terumī away.

She had returned later than Mei Terumī and didn't know what had happened.

"Mei Terumī was being a smart aleck and got dragged away by Shin for punishment," Kushina said with a grin, imagining Mei Terumī's miserable state.

——

Shin soon returned with Mei Terumī, who was now meekly following behind him, looking completely defeated.

"That was fast."

Kushina wanted to tease her. She had been acting all tough before, but she surrendered so quickly.

"Still planning to beat me to a pulp?" Shin asked Mei Terumī with a smile.

"No, I wouldn't dare!!" Mei Terumī shook her head quickly, her previous arrogance gone.

"Alright, sit down. Why are you standing?"

Shin looked at Mei Terumī and pulled her towards a chair.

Mei Terumī glared at him. Sit down? She couldn't even stand properly!

Her butt was swollen!

"No, I'll stand," Mei Terumī said through gritted teeth. She wanted to bite Shin.

Kushina, Mikoto, Tsunade, and Konan looked at her strangely.

Mei Terumī didn't want them to find out about her punishment. It was too embarrassing. She quickly took a few steps back, trying to hide it. Thankfully, they didn't notice. Mei Terumī sighed in relief, but she still couldn't sit down.

She glared at Shin again, then excused herself and went to her room. She didn't want to be exposed.

——

After Mei Terumī left, Kushina and the others glared at Shin.

"Shin-nii, what did you do?" Konan asked.

"Nothing. If you want to know, ask Mei Terumī. But I doubt she'll tell you."

Shin wouldn't tell them. Mei Terumī would probably kill him if he did.

"Judging by how she's acting, Shin must have done something inappropriate," Kushina said.

"Shin-nii, I have some training questions. Can you help me?" Konan sat down beside Shin. She had wanted to ask Shin before, but he wasn't there.

"What is it?"

"The Flying Thunder God Technique. I think I'm getting the hang of it, but there are still some things I don't understand."

"Konan, you're learning the Flying Thunder God Technique?" Tsunade looked at her in surprise.

Tsunade had also tried to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique before, after seeing how convenient Shin's Space-Time Ninjutsu was.

But she wasn't talented in that area and couldn't learn it. Not just her, but Mikoto and Kushina had also tried to learn it, but none of them succeeded.

"Yes, I've been practicing for a while now, and I'm starting to understand it," Konan nodded. It was a difficult technique.

"That's impressive! I couldn't even get started," Kushina said. She had given up on learning the Flying Thunder God Technique long ago.

"Konan, what don't you understand? I can explain it to you," Shin said.

He understood the Flying Thunder God Technique well. having studied it thoroughly.

Although he had Yomotsu Hirasaka—a superior Space-Time Ninjutsu, he still learned the Flying Thunder God Technique to expand his knowledge.

He had a natural talent for Space-Time Ninjutsu, and his understanding of spatial manipulation was already quite advanced. He'd mastered it quickly and was confident his understanding surpassed even Minato Namikaze's.

"I can't seem to create the Flying Thunder God formula."

The Flying Thunder God Technique couldn't be used for teleportation without the Flying Thunder God Formula.

Shin nodded, then asked Kushina, Mikoto, and Tsunade, "I see. Do you three want to learn it too?"

"No, thanks. I'd like to, but I know I can't," Kushina shook her head. She had already given up on learning the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Mikoto and Tsunade also refused. Shin didn't force them. Without talent in Space-Time Ninjutsu, it was impossible to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Shin then taught Konan alone, sharing his understanding of the technique with her.

Konan had made some progress, which meant she had some talent in Space-Time Ninjutsu. Perhaps she could really learn it.

Konan listened attentively, taking notes and planning to study them later.
