On the moon.
After fusing the bloodline powers of the nine Tailed Beasts with the power of the Divine Tree, Shishou began to consolidate his strength, striving to leave no hidden dangers within his body.
Spending an hour stabilizing his condition, Shishou casually waved his hand, forming a water mirror in front of him to observe his changes.
His skin had become even paler, edging closer to the appearance of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
His hair had also grown significantly longer, giving him an appearance reminiscent of Uchiha Madara.
Most importantly, the tomoe in his left eye's Rinnegan had increased by one, now displaying four tomoe.
Meanwhile, the Tenseigan in his right eye shone even brighter, its purple glow more pure.
Raising his hand towards a massive hill on the lunar surface, Shishou lightly clenched his fist.
Boom!!!
Cracks appeared at the base of the hill, and it broke away from the ground, flying towards Shishou.
Snap!
With a snap of his fingers, the massive hill rapidly twisted and transformed into a colossal spear, hundreds of meters thick and several kilometers long.
Swish!
With a casual wave, Shishou launched the spear like an arrow, embedding it deep into the lunar surface.
Then, he raised his right hand.
In the next second, a thin, several-kilometer-long light sword appeared in his hand.
With a sweep of the sword, the outer small asteroids of the moon were sliced in half by the golden glow of the Tenseigan.
After merging the power of the Tailed Beasts into the Ten-Tails' power, both the abilities of his Rinnegan and Tenseigan were significantly enhanced.
With just a flick of his wrist, he could move mountains and split stars... This was the power of the Six Paths.
No wonder the Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, and Ōtsutsuki Hamura could seal away Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
Feeling the changes within himself, Shishou was elated.
Now, splitting the moon with a single slash was no longer out of reach.
Of course, he wouldn't actually do it; it wasn't time for Kaguya to be released yet.
But now that he had truly become a Six Paths level entity, it was time to start searching for another Ten-Tails.
According to the experiences of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki in the original story, there was another Ten-Tails somewhere on this planet.
After being severely injured by Kaguya, Isshiki went into hiding to find this Ten-Tails.
Because of this Ten-Tails' existence, Isshiki aimed to plant the Divine Tree again and harvest a chakra fruit in the anime.
However, Shishou didn't know where this Ten-Tails was, making it difficult to find.
Of course, he could also use the Gedo Statue to collect Tailed Beasts and form a Ten-Tails, but that would endanger Yūgao, and Shishou didn't want to take that route yet.
Only if he couldn't find another Ten-Tails would he consider such a desperate measure.
Reviving Yūgao and Fu would be easy for him, thanks to his Spirit Egg and Resurrection Egg techniques.
After spending another two hours consolidating his newfound power, Shishou realized it was already 7 AM.
He quickly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the moon and return to Konoha.
Upon arriving home, he heard a knock at the door.
"Shishou, time to get up."
Hearing Tenten's voice, Shishou couldn't help but smile.
Now that Tenten was an adult, her parents had given her some of the family business to manage, teaching her the ropes.
As the largest weapon merchant family in Konoha, Tenten's family had a significant demand for iron ore and ingots.
Today, Tenten would go to Fire City to negotiate a deal with an iron mining company, and Shishou would accompany her as a bodyguard.
Putting on his mask and opening the door, Shishou saw an excited Tenten.
Since it was summer and very hot, Tenten was dressed lightly, revealing a lot of her arms and legs, looking youthful and full of energy.
Anyone who saw her would have to admit: she was a vibrant and energetic beauty!
"Are you ready, Shishou?"
Tenten hugged him, her smile radiant.
"Let's go."
Shishou kissed her forehead, making her blush, then led the way towards Konoha's gate.
"Wait for me!"
Tenten locked Shishou's door and hurried to catch up.
After registering with the gatekeepers, the two left Konoha, with Tenten quickly jumping onto Shishou's back, staying close to him.
Happy to finally have some alone time with Shishou, she didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Laughing and joking, they soon arrived in Fire City.
Just as they entered the city, Shishou spotted Kakuzu in black, carrying two boxes, heading inside.
"Hmph!"
Kakuzu snorted upon noticing Shishou, heading straight for the Ninja Union Bank.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, Kakuzu never changed, always thinking about money.
Seeing him head towards the Ninja Union Bank, Shishou found it amusing.
It was the first time he'd seen someone deposit money with the enemy...
Well...
Now that Konan controlled the Akatsuki, technically, Kakuzu was under his command. Storing money in the Ninja Union Bank made perfect sense.
With these thoughts in mind, Shishou followed Tenten to an iron mining company in Fire City.
Incidentally, this mining company was also under his ownership.
After a few hours of negotiations, Tenten finally settled on a price with the company.
Then she dragged Shishou around the city for some leisure.
For Tenten, business negotiations were secondary; getting a chance to be alone with Shishou was what she wanted most.
Following Tenten around the city, eating, drinking, and playing, they spent the entire day together.
In the evening, when Shishou suggested returning to Konoha, Tenten shook her head.
"Let's stay a few more days."
She averted her gaze, avoiding eye contact.
Finally having a chance to be alone with Shishou, she didn't want to go back so soon.
Shishou shrugged, "Shall we stay at an inn tonight?"
Excited that he agreed, Tenten nodded, "Yes, I've already booked a room at the best couple's hot spring inn in Fire City..."
She trailed off, her face turning crimson.
Oops... I gave myself away...
Shishou smiled knowingly, teasing her, "Looks like you came prepared."
Blushing even more, Tenten was at a loss for words.
Seeing her embarrassment, Shishou hugged her, "Alright, let's head to the inn."
Nodding, Tenten led Shishou to the inn she had booked.
As soon as they entered the room, they embraced and kissed passionately.
When the moment was right, everything seemed to fall into place naturally, like the inevitable pull of the tides. Their connection, built on shared experiences and deep emotions, blossomed into something more profound and undeniable.
