Konan lives not far from here. She heard Shinsei's voice and immediately ran over. When she saw Shinsei, she seemed to want to rush over immediately, but then she straightened her clothes and made herself behave more ladylike.
Konan has now graduated from the Ninja Academy, but she wasn't assigned to the same team as Yahiko and Xiaoling.
With Hiruzen Sarutobi's shrewdness, he would naturally separate them, allowing them to build new bonds within their respective teams and thus fully integrate into Konoha.
The three children that Shinsei brought back were all rare geniuses.
Konan awakened a peculiar Paper Release ninjutsu; Yahiko's Water Release Ninjutsu far surpassed that of other geniuses his age; even the seemingly unremarkable Xiaoling possessed considerable Taijutsu abilities, and if nurtured, she could become a ninja like Tsunade in the future.
"No tasks today?"
Shinsei asked curiously. Although he did not follow Konoha's tradition of finding a Jonin to be his teacher and take on missions, he knew that newly graduated ninjas always had a lot of trivial little tasks that kept them extremely busy.
Konan shook her head. "No... no!" Her face flushed, and she suddenly mustered up her courage to say to Shinsei, "You... look!"
A pair of enormous paper wings appeared behind her, fluttering gently, making Konan look like an angel fallen to earth.
"Wow, that's amazing! Your Paper Release Ninjutsu has gotten this strong?" Shinsei exclaimed in admiration.
Mito Uzumaki smiled and let them into the house, then instructed her maid to prepare lunch.
Although Shinsei came to see Madara Uchiha, he also had many questions for Mito Uzumaki, such as the Yin-Yang Release knowledge he had just acquired, and how to construct a seal centered on Yin-Yang Release.
Often, the problems solved Issen a flash of genius are the result of many predecessors summarizing a great deal of experience. Shinsei is facing such a problem now. In Sealing Jutsu, he is no match for Mito Uzumaki has lived for decades longer.
Little Ten's seal still has many flaws, which means that Shinsei doesn't dare to leave for too long. Every one or two hours, he returns to the Konoha basement to check on Little Ten's condition.
Fortunately, Xiaobai can now take Shinsei back and forth between the two worlds anytime, anywhere, without needing several days to recharge as before.
After listening to Shinsei's question, Mito Uzumaki pondered it while offering answers or conjectures based on her own experience. Shinsei also shared some knowledge about sealing techniques from Yin-Yang Release with Mito Uzumaki.
When I asked for your advice last time, I was too rushed and some questions remain unanswered. These past two days, after digesting some of the knowledge about Yin-Yang Release, Mito Uzumaki has gained new insights.
The two began designing a new seal in the study. Shinsei planned to completely seal Little Ten away, while leaving a switch that could be activated at any time, so that he could also study Little Ten's Chakra and increase the strength of his own Chakra.
However, without reaching the Six Paths Level, many answers could only be guessed. So after discussing for a long time, the two finally settled on a stable Sealing Jutsu.
This new Sealing Jutsu can completely seal Little Ten's Chakra, but it cannot be activated at any time.
Neither of them had a good method for sealing power at the Six Paths Level. Unless the Sage of Six Paths also granted Shinsei the power of Yin-Yang Release, it seemed that this clumsy method was the only option for now.
This Sealing Jutsu is slow to cast, but fortunately, Little Ten trusts Shinsei completely. As he grows older or becomes smarter with time and experience, he won't be so easily fooled.
After lunch, Shinsei and Hinata bid farewell to Mito Uzumaki and returned to their house in this world.
Currently, Yahiko, Xiaoling, and Konan live here. Aside from the fact that the three of them can't afford this kind of house yet, Shinsei also wants to get closer to them so that they can help him in the future.
Konan hurriedly ran back to her room, and in the blink of an eye, she took out a cardboard box. "Is this for me?"
Shinsei took the cardboard box from Konan, opened it, and found a small paper figure inside. At the tip of the figure was a long sword painted with purple and white pigment—this was Shinsei's Ninjutsu, the Instant Blade. The figure was modeled after Shinsei himself.
This paper figure is exquisitely designed with lifelike details; it must have taken a lot of effort to make.
"Thank you, I really like it, I'll keep it safe." Shinsei put the gift away, looking at Konan who was bowing her head shyly, and sighed inwardly. Although he wasn't very good at guessing girls' thoughts, Konan's actions and expressions revealed her feelings perfectly.
Shinsei knew he was somewhat helpless, but he really didn't want to involve another girl; the current situation was already enough of a headache for him.
Hinata next to her, turned her face to the side and lowered her head, fiddling with her fingers.
" Konan." Shinsei called her name softly. Konan raised her head, glanced into Shinsei's eyes, and then lowered her head again.
"I've always wanted a younger sister, but my parents... this wish has never come true. And since you don't have any other relatives in this world, would you be willing to be my younger sister?"
Konan's expression turned surprised, and she lowered her head, remaining silent. After a long while, she finally let out a soft "hmm" through her nose.
"Alright, from now on I'll be your older brother. You can just call me Shinsei. If anyone bullies you, you must tell me, okay?"
Konan hummed in response after a long pause.
"I... I'm going to wash my hands," Konan said softly, then turned and ran into the bathroom.
Hinata turned around and glanced at Shinsei, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
Shinsei didn't want things to turn out this way either. He originally thought that Konan and Yahiko were together Tenten, and that he was most likely to end up with Yahiko. He didn't expect that she would have different thoughts about him.
That's life. Girls of the same age are always more mature than boys of the same age. They tend to like more mature boys, and someone like Shinsei, who looks young but acts mature, is more likely to attract their attention.
Of course, all of this is predicated on Shinsei having an outstanding appearance.
When he was in school, the girls in his class would split into two groups: one group liked cool and handsome boys Sasuke, and the other group liked sunny and handsome boys like him.
The two factions argued fiercely, even resorting to physical violence.
But as time went on, Shinsei achieved more and more, and his strength grew stronger and stronger. The girls who liked Shinsei won an overwhelming victory. Only a few girls still liked Sasuke without hesitation, such as Sakura.
Shinsei gave Hinata a look, and the two quietly left the room.
When Konan came out of the restroom, her wet face was expressionless, but looking at the empty hall, there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
