After imprisoning Momoshiki in the Kamui dimension, Shishou carefully examined the pair of Rinnegan he had taken from him. The "Takamikazuchi" ability of these eyes allowed the user to absorb chakra-based ninjutsu and counterattack with doubled force, a highly practical ability. It was especially effective against opponents like Kaguya, who were not skilled in taijutsu.
After inspecting the Rinnegan for a while, Shishou stored them away. Then, after placing Kinshiki in the Kamui dimension as well to guard Momoshiki, Shishou returned to the Shinobi World with Hinata, Hanabi, and Ringo Ameyuri.
Seeing the familiar scenery of the Forest of Death around her, Ringo Ameyuri could no longer contain her curiosity and asked Shishou, "Who were those people? Why did they attack us? What is a Bloodline Limit, and what's the deal with that big guy? And where did you just take us?"
Hearing Ameyuri's barrage of questions, Shishou rubbed his chin, unsure how to explain. He hesitated, debating whether to reveal the truth to her. He thought it might be best not to burden Hinata and Hanabi with the details about the Ōtsutsuki clan to avoid causing them undue stress.
The main issue was that explaining everything would be too troublesome and might expose his other identity. While it might be okay to tell Ameyuri, Shishou was determined not to reveal his other identity to Hinata and Hanabi.
"Hanabi, let's head back. I'm a bit tired," Hinata said, linking arms with Hanabi and calling out to Shishou, "Shishou, we're leaving."
Hanabi glanced back at Shishou and Ameyuri, still standing in the same spot, and asked, "Sister, don't you have any questions?"
Hinata shook her head and replied, "I don't want to ask."
Hinata could tell that Shishou was hesitant to answer, and her gentle nature didn't want to make him uncomfortable. "Oh," Hanabi murmured, following her sister as they left. She had many questions she wanted answers to, particularly about how powerful Shishou really was. However, since her sister decided to leave, she could only keep these thoughts to herself.
After Hinata and Hanabi departed, Ringo Ameyuri pouted and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, just pretend I didn't ask."
Since Hinata and Hanabi had chosen not to press further, Ameyuri felt it would be unreasonable for her to keep pushing the matter.
Shishou smiled as he withdrew his gaze from the two sisters and said, "Let's just pretend you didn't ask, then."
He genuinely couldn't think of a good excuse to explain everything.
Hearing this, Ameyuri put away her lightning sword into her storage scroll. She then bit her lip before speaking up, "I want you to help me control the chakra inside me."
Ever since she had eaten the fruit Shishou gave her, a strange chakra had appeared within her body. She had tried to use it in her fight against Kinshiki earlier, but the power was so overwhelming that she found it difficult to control. Ameyuri sensed that if she could master this power, her strength would increase significantly.
Glancing at the small but formidable Ameyuri, Shishou chuckled and asked, "How do you want me to help you, and how do you plan to repay me?"
Ameyuri glanced at Shishou, then haughtily raised her chin and huffed, "Hmph! I'll leave it all to you. Do what you must."
They were both disciples of Tsukuyomi, making Shishou her senior brother. Ameyuri trusted him completely, and besides...
"Is that so?" Shishou grinned, grabbing Ameyuri as they disappeared from the spot.
Unlike Hinata and Hanabi, who already possessed Six Paths power, Ameyuri needed to awaken the powers of both the Uchiha and Senju clans to fully harness the Divine Tree's power within her.
Only by doing so could Ameyuri truly master the Divine Tree's strength.
They arrived at Shishou's laboratory in Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire), where Shishou created several shadow clones to go to his various facilities and consume livestock with the Phosphorus Decay Worm. He then took Ameyuri into the lab.
Pointing to the examination table, Shishou smiled and said, "Lie down."
Seeing the lab's eerie atmosphere, Ameyuri felt a sudden wave of anxiety. She tried to hide her unease as she obediently lay on the table, sneaking occasional glances at Shishou.
Seeing how cooperative Ameyuri was, Shishou smiled again. He left the lab and headed to Orochimaru's lab, where he used the Phosphorus Decay Worm to consume the Uchiha Madara clones that Tayuya and the others had cultivated over the years.
Afterward, he returned to his own lab and began the process of transferring the Uchiha bloodline powers to Ameyuri.
Once his clones returned after consuming the livestock, Shishou used White Zetsu cells to cultivate Hashirama cells, awakening the Senju bloodline within Ameyuri.
As the powers of the Uchiha and Senju clans awakened within her, Ameyuri could feel a significant increase in her chakra reserves and a noticeable improvement in her physical abilities.
"This is amazing!!!" Ameyuri exclaimed, unable to contain her surprise at the changes happening within her body.
With the Uchiha and Senju powers now awakened, Ameyuri found it much easier to control the mysterious power inside her.
Watching the red hue in Ameyuri's eyes deepen as her Sharingan evolved and tomoe appeared, Shishou nodded in approval. Ameyuri's talent was indeed impressive; she had awakened the Sharingan and immediately advanced it to the three-tomoe stage. Although this rapid development was likely due to the Divine Tree's power she had absorbed from the fruit, her innate potential was undeniable.
Since she had already awakened to the three-tomoe Sharingan, Shishou decided he might as well see if she could evolve it further into the Mangekyō Sharingan.
With this in mind, Shishou snapped his fingers, plunging the lab into darkness.
He planned to have Ameyuri experience what Rin Nohara couldn't finish, hoping to push her to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Suddenly plunged into darkness, Ameyuri's voice trembled slightly as she asked, "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you say you were leaving everything to me?" Shishou replied with a grin.
"I..."
...
Late at night, back in Konoha, at Hinata's small garden.
Hinata emerged from the bathroom and called out to Hanabi, who was sitting in the gazebo, gazing at the moon, "Hanabi, it seems Shishou won't be coming tonight."
Hearing this, Hanabi pursed her lips. She then stood up from the gazebo and walked over to Hinata, following her sister back to their room.
Hanabi and Hinata always slept together at night.
