Land of Lightning, Hidden Cloud Village.
Turtle Island.
"So big!!!"
Rin Nohara flew in the air with Shishou, marveling at the gigantic turtle below.
"Let's explore inside."
Shishou dispelled the summoning of the Snake Princess beneath him, appearing with Rin Nohara on Turtle Island.
"Shishou."
A Hidden Cloud Village jonin stationed on Turtle Island greeted Shishou respectfully upon his arrival.
The relationship between the Flying Thunder God user and Yugito Nii was well-known in the Hidden Cloud Village. Rumors even said that Samui and Mabui were also his women. In a way, the Flying Thunder God user had become a son-in-law to the Hidden Cloud Village.
Moreover, with Shishou's renowned strength and Killer Bee personally admitting he couldn't defeat him, the people of the Hidden Cloud Village held him in even higher regard.
More importantly, Shishou had introduced a series of productivity-enhancing techniques in the Land of Lightning, greatly improving the quality of life for these ninjas. They could now support their families without having to undertake high-risk missions.
As a result, the ninjas of Hidden Cloud Village respected Shishou from the bottom of their hearts.
Rin Nohara, seeing the Hidden Cloud Village ninja suddenly appear, was initially startled, thinking they had been caught looking at the turtle.
But when she saw the ninja greeting Shishou with such respect, she stood there in shock, feeling dumbfounded.
During her lifetime, the Hidden Cloud Village had been an enemy of Konoha. This kind of treatment was beyond her imagination.
Shishou waved at the Hidden Cloud Village ninja in front of him, "I brought a friend to visit Turtle Island. You don't need to mind us."
The Hidden Cloud ninja respectfully replied, "Lady Samui and Lady Mabui are currently training in senjutsu on the island. Should I notify them?"
Upon hearing that Yugito Nii was not around, Shishou waved his hand, "No need."
"Yes," the Hidden Cloud jonin responded, then disappeared using the Body Flicker Technique, leaving them undisturbed.
"Isn't Shishou a person from Konoha? Why are the people of the Hidden Cloud Village so respectful to you?" Rin Nohara couldn't help but ask after watching the Hidden Cloud ninja leave.
Shishou glanced at Rin Nohara and smiled, "Because I'm strong enough."
Rin Nohara was taken aback, "How strong?"
Shishou confidently said, "Strong enough to bring peace to the ninja world by myself."
The signs of his impending Rinnegan awakening inflated Shishou's confidence.
"Really?" Rin Nohara was stunned.
Peace was also her wish.
Shishou shrugged and said earnestly, "No, not really."
Perhaps he could achieve it once he truly awakened the Rinnegan and reached the power level of the Sage of Six Paths.
"Oh," Rin Nohara said, somewhat disappointed.
Seeing her expression, Shishou smiled and said, "Although I can't bring peace to the ninja world by myself, I have allies."
"With their help, the ninja world will continue to be peaceful."
Lu Xun once said, individual efforts can't accomplish great things; only by mobilizing the masses can one bring about change.
Although Shishou hoped to bring peace to the ninja world on his own, he never intended to fight alone.
Just like when he dealt with the Great White Snake Sage, he relied on the help of Mikoto and Tsunade.
This was the reason Shishou put so much effort into training them.
Rin Nohara asked, "Are Shishou's allies very strong?"
"Of course."
Shishou nodded confidently and said, "With them, the ninja world will see true peace."
Tsunade had become the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, Mei Terumi was the Fifth Mizukage of the Mist Village, Yekura was about to become the Fifth Kazekage of the Sand Village, and Yugito Nii was the strongest in the Cloud Village, potentially the future Fifth Raikage.
In other words, aside from the Stone Village, Shishou could influence the decisions of the other four great ninja villages.
As long as the five great nations maintained peace.
Under such circumstances, it would be hard for the ninja world not to be peaceful.
Then, Shishou led Rin Nohara into Turtle Island, showing her the rare beasts the Cloud Village had relocated there.
As they wandered around, they soon arrived at the True Falls, where Samui and Mabui were training in senjutsu.
The moment he appeared, they immediately sensed his presence.
"Shishou, what brings you here?" Mabui asked, her face lighting up with a smile.
Samui paused her training, glancing at Rin Nohara with curiosity.
Seeing Rin's youthful appearance, Samui gave Shishou a questioning look.
Shishou smiled at Samui and Mabui, "I brought a friend to Turtle Island. This is Rin."
"Rin, these are Samui and Mabui from the Hidden Cloud Village."
After the three greeted each other, Shishou continued showing Rin around.
As they were about to leave, Mabui nudged Samui.
In the Hidden Cloud Village, they had already been assumed to be Shishou's women.
However, in the past two years, their relationship with Shishou hadn't progressed, causing the Fourth Raikage to criticize them for not being proactive.
Now seeing a new girl with Shishou, they felt pressured.
Samui bit her lip and called out, "Shishou, I have some questions about senjutsu that I want to ask you."
Shishou waved his hand without turning back, "I'll come find you tonight."
Since he had promised to accompany Rin, he didn't want to go back on his word.
Hearing his response, Mabui and Samui were delighted.
Rin Nohara curiously looked at them, and after walking away with Shishou, she asked, "Do they like you?"
As a young girl, Rin was curious about such matters.
Shishou chuckled, "You have sharp eyes."
Yugito Nii had already told him about Samui and Mabui. However, for the past two years, he had been focused on his senjutsu training, leaving him no time to address the situation with them.
Rin pouted, "You're quite the ladies' man!"
Even though she spent most of her time in the lab, she had heard from Rimei that Shishou had many women around him.
Shishou replied seriously, "I've brought peace to the ninja world. Having many women is normal, isn't it?"
Rin found herself at a loss for words.
Seeing her speechless, Shishou smiled and teleported them away.
Next, he took Rin to the capital city of the Land of Lightning, where they explored the streets and went shopping.
The various unique items and beautiful sights of the Land of Lightning made Rin very happy.
It wasn't until late at night that Shishou brought Rin back to the lab and then returned to Turtle Island.
