"Let's join in too."
With Sasuke, Naruto, and Ringo Ameyuri leading, Gaara, Haku, Darui, and others prepared for battle.
Since defeating Aburame Shishou was the only way to meet the Flying Thunder God user, they were ready to give it their all.
Kurotsuchi and Hanabi exchanged glances and silently stepped aside, giving the battlefield to the others.
Kurotsuchi didn't want to interfere because she liked Shishou and knew his strength was terrifying. She was content to sit back and watch.
Hanabi simply followed her sister Hinata's instructions to listen carefully to Shishou, her brother-in-law.
"One, two, three, four, five, six..."
Shishou counted the techniques and made a single-hand seal again.
Rumble!!!
The lunar surface shook violently as several giant rock serpents emerged from beneath Shishou, hissing and staring at Sasuke, Naruto, and the others.
Seeing the giant rock serpents around Shishou, Sasuke, Naruto, and the others were once again shocked.
Had Shishou's strength reached such a level? Summoning several hundred-meter-long rock serpents at will, Sasuke and Naruto felt a tinge of regret.
"Damn, this Aburame Shishou kid's strength has grown again," Ringo Ameyuri gritted her teeth.
Darui sighed, "I shouldn't have joined in the commotion."
He couldn't even handle one rock serpent, let alone two.
Gaara frowned, "Spread out first."
If all the serpents attacked together, they wouldn't stand a chance.
"Impressive courage. I've changed my mind; I'll personally deal with you," Shishou said, smiling at the wary Sasuke and the others.
In the next moment, he vanished, reappearing behind Sasuke.
"So fast!" Sasuke was alarmed by Shishou's sudden appearance.
Bang!
Shishou kicked Sasuke's Susanoo, sending him and the Susanoo flying into a distant lunar hill, creating a large crater.
Lying in the crater, Sasuke was in a daze, experiencing his first severe defeat in years, leaving him stunned.
"Sasuke!"
Seeing Sasuke kicked away, Naruto was shocked.
He then felt a kick on his back, sending him flying toward Sasuke, crashing into Susanoo.
Seeing Shishou effortlessly dealing with two of them, Ringo Ameyuri turned into lightning, trying to dodge with her speed.
However, Shishou caught her and kicked her, sending her flying toward Naruto and Sasuke.
Next, Darui and Haku were also sent flying, landing on top of Naruto and Sasuke.
"Hahaha, got you!"
Seeing Sasuke, Naruto, and the others beaten and lying on the ground, looking miserable, Kurotsuchi laughed gleefully.
Seeing Shishou's overwhelming strength, Kurotsuchi felt both excited and fortunate.
It was a good thing she was smart and had her grandfather step in; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to snag such a strong man.
Hanabi, on the other hand, looked at Shishou curiously. She knew he was strong but had never seen him display such overwhelming power.
If he could defeat Sasuke and Naruto, who were nearly as strong as the Five Kage, in one move, just how powerful was Shishou?
Thinking this, Hanabi became increasingly curious about Shishou.
After teaching Sasuke, Naruto, and the others a lesson, Shishou dismissed the rock serpents he had summoned.
Having been disciplined, Sasuke, Naruto, and the others became much more obedient.
Shishou's ability to defeat them with a single move showed that his strength far surpassed theirs, making him more than capable of teaching them.
They attributed Shishou's immense strength to the Flying Thunder God user's training, making them even more eager to start their training at the Moon Palace.
If Shishou could become so powerful under the Flying Thunder God user's guidance, so could they!
Excited by this thought, Sasuke, Naruto, and the others looked forward to their training at the Moon Palace.
Shishou, unaware of their thoughts, led the eight to the Moon Palace's inner residence and began explaining the rules.
His rules were simple: no fighting within the residential area. Anyone who broke this rule would be sent back to the ninja world.
He also set up barriers around important locations, such as the Hamura Shrine that housed the Tenseigan, to prevent Sasuke and the others from entering.
He designated specific areas for them to stay within and prohibited wandering off.
The eight listened attentively to Shishou's rules, not daring to misbehave. They had worked hard to get here and didn't want to be sent back for breaking the rules.
Afterward, Shishou assigned them their living quarters.
Once that was done, he pointed to Kurotsuchi and Hanabi and said, "You two, come with me for training. The rest of you can rest; we'll start tomorrow."
Hearing Shishou's instructions, Naruto stepped forward, "I want to start training now too."
Sasuke looked at Shishou eagerly; he didn't want to fall behind.
Shishou glanced at them and said, "This is a personal reward for Kurotsuchi and Hanabi for following instructions. Do you have any objections?"
Hearing this, Sasuke, Naruto, Gaara, and the others exchanged glances and obediently returned to their rooms.
They couldn't beat Shishou now, so it was best to listen.
Kurotsuchi hugged Shishou's arm and smiled, "Hehe, let's go, Shishou."
Shishou glared at her, "Call me Senior Brother here."
Kurotsuchi pouted, "Okay, Senior Brother."
Seeing this, Hanabi secretly rolled her eyes.
Her brother-in-law was handsome, powerful, and gentle, but he was also a bit of a playboy.
Shishou took Kurotsuchi and Hanabi to a room and prepared a medicinal bath for them.
The medicinal bath was just a guise; he intended to enhance their chakra reserves.
By rewarding good behavior, Sasuke and the others would be more likely to listen and sincerely accept the Moon Palace.
Moreover, he still had some of the Great Toad Sage's flesh, enough to enhance everyone's sage bloodline.
Preparing the tools for the medicinal bath, Shishou had Hanabi sit in the bath with her kimono on.
Though Hanabi was beautiful, she was too young for Shishou to have any inappropriate thoughts.
He instructed Hanabi to close her eyes and took out a batch of Phosphorus bugs from his insect breeding space.
These bugs, cultivated using Uzumaki Eri's cells, could help Hanabi awaken the Uzumaki clan's bloodline.
Shishou wanted to see if this would allow Hanabi to awaken the Tenseigan.
If Hanabi couldn't awaken the Tenseigan by age twenty-five, Shishou would help her awaken the Rinnegan instead.
Attaching the Phosphorus bugs to his hand, Shishou said seriously, "Hanabi, if you feel any discomfort, tell me immediately, understand?"
Hanabi nodded with her eyes closed, "Okay, Shishou."
Hearing this, Shishou placed his right hand on Hanabi's forehead, with his index and middle fingers touching her gently.
In the next moment, a vast amount of energy flowed from Shishou's hand, enveloping Hanabi completely.
