Using the Shadow Clone he'd left in the apartment, Shinji first summoned Meiqiu back there. Meiqiu then performed Reverse Summoning, bringing Shinji's real body back from Grass Country.
Once back in the apartment, Shinji dispelled his Shadow Clone and instructed Meiqiu, "Help my Shadow Clone get that woman settled first. If anything goes wrong on the way, try to Reverse Summon me over."
"Got it!"
Meiqiu nodded.
He was already thoroughly familiar with Reverse Summoning.
He kept Shinji's blood in his little pouch. As long as it hadn't dried completely, he could Reverse Summon Shinji at any time, wherever he was.
After giving Meiqiu a few more instructions, Shinji ended the summoning and sent him back to Grass Country.
He glanced at the clock on the wall. Since it was still early, he activated Naobi, intending to share the good news with Karin in the projection space.
But as soon as he reached out with his senses, he detected a third point besides Haku and Karin.
"Did Deidara manage to get the White Zetsu Cells?"
His heart leaped with joy.
Naobi could only locate the Spirit Bodies of Haku, Karin, and Deidara, so the third point could only be Deidara, who had entered the range of his Naobi.
Although he was eager to get his hands on the White Zetsu Cells, Shinji restrained himself and connected with Karin first.
Soon,
Karin's Spirit Body projection appeared at the round table.
The moment she saw Shinji, Karin tensed. "I'm sorry, sir. I... I still haven't mastered the nature transformations for Water and Earth Release, so I can't use Wood Release."
Seeing how carefully Karin chose her words, Shinji felt a pang in his heart.
After Uzushio Village was destroyed, how much hardship had this mother and daughter, stranded far from home, endured?
