Sorry for the delay, guys. I was a bit busy.

After they were done talking, they ate, and soon enough, Ren found himself having to pay for fourteen bowls of ramen when he personally ate only one.
Naruto briefly pestered him to pay for him, too. As a congratulation for passing...

As Ren and Karin walked through the village, Ren distractedly pointed out various sights or shops and restaurants of note while he was inwardly brooding about the situation he found himself in.
He had never understood the stories in which the main characters tried to get every canon female ...

Ren, Ino, and Hinata ran to the village at the fastest speed the girls could manage and when they arrived, the girls were panting and trying to catch their breath while their legs throbbed in pain
Surprisingly, Karin stayed unconscious for the nine hours it took them to get back to Konoha s...

Ren sprang forward and silently landed near the trio. The two sound ninjas did not even notice him, too caught up in reveling in Karin's struggle.
With a smooth movement, Ren unsealed a kunai and with a wide sweep from behind, he burrowed it right to the side of the man who was tearing Kari...

It took the girls two hours to deal with the bodies and Ren enjoyed watching them struggle and rage. They could have just dragged them underground with the Hiding Like a Mole technique and been done with it but clearly, that did not come to his students' minds yet.
So, instead, they dragged...

After two weeks of traveling, Ren, Ino, and Hinata finally reached the bandit camp they were supposed to wipe out. They hid in the nearby treeline as they observed their targets.
The camp was located on the topmost north-western side of the Land of Fire, where their country bordered the Lan...

Hinata Hyuga felt like shit.
She was excited to go outside of the village on a mission. And heavens, she had no idea how her teacher had managed to persuade her father to allow her to go!
Even the looming fact that she would need to end the lives of bandits only slightly dampened her ...

Ren arrived at the last training meeting before their 'mission'. The girls had just finished their academy year earlier today and he came bearing gifts!
Seeing Hinata and Ino sitting in the grass in the middle of the clearing they usually used for training, he approached them.

Ren felt truly exhausted.
He had just finished having a long conversation with his students about why it would be a really bad idea to have a relationship with him. He tried his best to persuade them to cease and desist!
But no matter what he said, Ino and Hinata were teenage girls an...

Ino Yamanaka sat in the academy, watching her classmates during a break, bored out of her mind. Her teacher, Ren, took a week off from training her and Hinata because of some personal pet project while Hinata decided to fake being sick so she could focus more on training rather than sit in the ac...

Hinata and Ino exited Ren's hospital room in a morose mood and silently walked through the village, gloom clinging to them like a fine coat. Only when the girls almost reached the entrance to the Yamanaka compound did Ino finally break the silence.

But Ren only shrugged, "Nah. It's garbage."<...

Of course, after that, the ancient monkey-reject finally left Ren's hospital room, leaving him mind-blown and barely responsive to the world.

If Ren thought that Ino was bad, then he was certainly not prepared for how fussy Hinata got when she saw his injured state. He got scolded like a misbehaving child.
But it only managed to draw out a small amused smile out of him.

Ren was halfway through his chakra reserves, had only two shadow clones left, and Yagura was in front of him, angrier than ever and desiring nothing more than to rip him into shreds.
Admittedly, he was not a very happy camper currently.

Kaito jumped away while Ren spat a wind bullet at Yagura, causing him to dodge. This brought Ren a few seconds, just enough for him to unseal six special sealing tags and scatter them in the wind.

In the anime, it always seemed so slow. The jinchuuriki needed to gather the red and blue bubbles, condense them into a purple ball, and then either eat it and shoot it or shoot it. It took a while on the screen.
