Hearing Hyuga Natsu's question, Shishou smiled.
In Shishou's previous life, many people liked to sit in their cars for a while after driving home from work, enjoying a moment of peace. It was a way to temporarily escape the complexities of life and thoroughly relax their minds.
So, Natsu's habit seemed perfectly normal to Shishou. After all, he too needed to balance his monotonous training life with something like the mundane life of a Genin in Konoha to keep himself mentally grounded.
Of course, he had various ways to adjust his mood, and the life of a Genin was just one of them.
Feeling Shishou's movements, Natsu's face turned crimson again.
"I-I'll go wash up first."
Facing Shishou's actions, the obedient Natsu didn't dare nor want to refuse, quietly voicing her request.
"Let's go together then." Shishou picked up Natsu and carried her to the bathroom.
After half an hour, with Natsu's help, Shishou finished bathing and lay back on the bed.
Then, Natsu, now wearing a black and white maid outfit, stepped out of the bathroom.
Natsu had designed this maid outfit herself. It was off-shoulder, sleeveless, black and white, with black striped straps cinching her waist, accentuating her slender figure. The pleated short skirt barely covered her hips, revealing her long legs wrapped in white stockings.
Recalling the knowledge she had seen in those strange books in Anko's room, Natsu approached Shishou, suppressing her embarrassment, and knelt respectfully on the ground.
"Master."
...
It was not until 2 PM that Shishou got out of bed. When he walked out of the room and into the kitchen, he saw Natsu preparing lunch.
Watching Natsu in her maid outfit and white stockings, Shishou walked over and hugged her.
"Master, it's almost ready. Please wait a moment."
"You can have whatever you want afterward."
Natsu continued her roleplay, shyly speaking to Shishou. These lines were all things she had read from Anko's hidden books.
Hearing Natsu's half-shy, half-seductive words, Shishou raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but kiss her.
Just as lunch was ready, Shishou and Natsu turned to see Rin Nohara watching them with a stunned expression.
"S-Sorry to interrupt..."
Seeing Natsu's outfit, Rin's mouth twitched, and she quickly turned and left.
As a reanimated person, Rin didn't need rest, so she had come out to explore after getting bored in her room, only to stumble upon this scene.
Seeing Rin leave, Natsu's face turned even redder with embarrassment.
She had thought it was just her and Shishou in the lab, so she had felt free to walk around in her outfit, but now she had been caught by another girl.
Feeling mortified, Natsu still asked the question on her mind.
"Shishou, who is that girl?"
From Natsu's perspective, Rin looked about the same age as Hinata, just a young girl.
Shishou set the dishes on the table and laughed:
"That's Rin Nohara, Kakashi's former teammate. You probably haven't heard of her. After lunch, you can show her around the lab."
Natsu filled a bowl of rice for Shishou, frowning, "If she's Kakashi's teammate, why does she look so young?"
Though Natsu hadn't interacted much with Kakashi, she knew he was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, while Rin looked as young as Hinata.
Shishou picked up his bowl and casually explained:
"She died over ten years ago. I just resurrected her yesterday."
"She's my secret weapon against Uchiha Obito."
"Secret weapon?" Natsu asked, puzzled.
She knew the masked man in the Akatsuki organization was Uchiha Obito, but Shishou resurrecting Rin didn't surprise her at all. After all, she saw him as capable of anything.
Shishou took a bite of his food, "Obito used to be in love with her, to the point of madness."
Natsu blinked, then set down her bowl and walked out.
"I'll go get her to join us for lunch."
Hearing that Rin was Shishou's secret weapon, Natsu felt it was necessary to get along well with her. If they could become sisters, it would drive Obito crazy.
With a bit of mischievous glee, Natsu thought.
Seeing Natsu leave, Shishou pondered for a moment. Could reanimated people eat?
Curious, Shishou's question remained unanswered because Rin didn't return with Natsu.
"She won't come," Natsu said, sitting down to eat.
"Then let's not worry about her."
...
Three days of rest passed quickly.
During this time, Natsu quickly became close to Rin, almost like sisters.
Shishou resumed his life as a Genin.
Training in Sage Mode at night, doing missions during the day to lighten his mood, occasionally sneaking off to tease Kurenai.
In this pleasant routine, two months flew by.
In these two months, under Kurenai's guidance, Sakura and Kiba's skills improved rapidly.
Through numerous missions, Shishou's team chemistry with them also grew stronger.
With just a gesture from Shishou, Kiba and Sakura could understand his intentions and react accordingly.
As Kiba and Sakura progressed, so did Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata of Team 7.
Mikoto Uchiha, Kushina Uzumaki, and Hyuga Rin's skills were among the top in the current ninja world.
And since they were teaching their own children, they held nothing back.
So, after two months of their guidance:
Naruto not only harnessed the Uzumaki clan's power but also began to tap into the Nine-Tails' power, making him even stronger than in the original storyline.
Sasuke's Sharingan, with the help of Mikoto and Shishou's genjutsu, had evolved to three tomoe, and he had also mastered Kakashi's Chidori, elevating his strength.
As for Hinata, her chakra control was excellent from years of medical ninjutsu training. Under Hyuga Rin's meticulous teaching, she successfully mastered the Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven and Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, greatly boosting her abilities.
Of course, though Hinata's strength improved, she also faced significant challenges.
