During this period, Shin mostly stayed in the Land of Whirlpools, helping Konan with the Flying Thunder God. Thanks to her natural gifts—and Shin's thorough guidance—Konan finally grasped the fundamentals of space–time ninjutsu.

She had progressed to the point of performing the jutsu, though slowly. But with enough practice, she'd soon master it.

"Can you help me with my training?" Mei Terumī asked Shin, who was practicing Taijutsu.

"Sure. But my back is sore. Give me a massage first." Shin asked with a smile.

Mei Terumī wanted to leave, but she stopped herself.

She gritted her teeth and walked towards Shin.

"Fine. But I hope you'll keep your word. I don't want to do this for nothing."

"Don't worry, I won't trick you. If you do a good job, I'll give you a solid training session," Shin reassured her.

"And what if I don't do a good job?" Mei had caught the loophole in his words.

"Then I won't be in the mood to teach. Is that even a question?" Shin rolled his eyes.

Mei Terumī also rolled her eyes. What was she supposed to do if he wasn't satisfied?

"Do you think I'd trick you?" Shin asked, looking at her.

"How do you know? Do you have some kind of mind-reading ability?" Mei took a step back, looking at him warily.

"I don't have that kind of ability. But you're acting very suspicious. Are you hiding something?"

Shin looked at her suspiciously.

"Even if I am, why should I tell you?" Mei Terumī said with a huff, then started massaging Shin's shoulders.

"You seem annoyed, but your actions say otherwise," Shin commented.

——

"So, are you satisfied?"

"So-so. But I don't have time to train you today. Maybe in a few days." Shin patted Mei's head and stood up.

Mei Terumī was speechless. He was treating her like a child.

"By the way, tell Kushina and the others that I have something to do and will be back in a few days."

Shin said, then disappeared.

"How am I supposed to explain that? Why don't you tell them yourself?" Mei Terumī muttered dejectedly.

She knew they would ask her where Shin had gone.

——

Shin left the Land of Whirlpools and appeared beside White Zetsu, who was holding a special Flying Thunder God Kunai. Shin had given this kunai to White Zetsu so he could contact Shin whenever he needed to.

As long as White Zetsu channeled Chakra into the kunai, Shin would sense it.

"White Zetsu, what's the matter?" Shin asked.

This was just a White Zetsu clone, not the original.

"Shin-sama, Uchiha Obito is planning to persuade Nagato Uzumaki to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan. I'm here to inform you." White Zetsu said directly. He knew Shin didn't like wasting time.

"Are you interested in coming along, Shin-sama?" White Zetsu asked.

"Oh, Might be fun to watch."

Shin disappeared and reappeared beside Obito Uchiha. He had placed a Flying Thunder God Mark on Obito the last time they met.

Obito didn't know about it. He didn't even know Shin could use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After all, everyone knew that only Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash, could use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"How did you get here?"

Obito was alert and immediately noticed Shin. He looked at Shin warily.

"Don't be so tense. I'm Madara's partner, remember? I have no intention of harming you," Shin said with a smile, ignoring Obito's vigilance.

Obito sneered inwardly. Madara's partner? He didn't believe it.

"Aren't you going to see Nagato Uzumaki? Let's go."

Shin started walking, leaving a confused and suspicious Obito behind.

"Damn it, Zetsu. Must've sold me out," Obito hissed under his breath.

Only he and Zetsu knew about his plan to meet with Nagato. He couldn't confront Zetsu now, though. He had to follow Shin and figure out what he was up to.

He wasn't the naive Obito he used to be.

'Anyone who tries to stop me from creating a world with Rin—is my enemy.' Obito thought to himself, his eyes flashing with determination.

"Don't look at me like that. Haven't you learned your lesson?" Shin turned around and looked at Obito calmly.

Obito felt immense pressure from Shin's gaze and quickly lowered his head.

——

They arrived in Amegakure and easily found Nagato Uzumaki, thanks to the information provided by Zetsu.

"This guy isn't suitable for the Eye of the Moon Plan."

Obito frowned as he watched Nagato from the shadows. According to Zetsu's information, Obito had learned about Nagato's personality.

Nagato was currently following Yahiko's lead. How could he convince Nagato to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan in this situation?

"This Yahiko..." Obito looked at Yahiko's cheerful smile with disgust. He hated this kind of people now, including his teacher, Minato Namikaze.

It was because of Minato that he hated cheerful people. He hated Minato for not saving Rin. Minato didn't deserve to be a teacher.

"If you want Nagato to carry out the plan, you have to get rid of Yahiko," Shin said, glancing at Obito.

Yahiko might not be strong, but his existence was important. As long as Yahiko was alive, Nagato would never turn evil.

"He has to die," Obito said, looking at Yahiko with killing intent.

Yahiko's existence was hindering the Eye of the Moon Plan, hindering his dream of creating a world with Rin. So Yahiko had to die.
