Ch33. Capital city

Ren strolled through the streets of the capital city, happily humming under his nose as he observed his surroundings. So many different people walked the streets. It was quite fascinating.

Looking to his right, Ren could see two samurai patrolling the streets and glaring at some yakuza-look...

Ch32. Danzo's dismay

Danzo Shimura sat in his office in his house, impassively looking at some documents with a composed poise. But inwardly, he was brooding.

The attack on the ROOT base yesterday was a disaster. He had lost thirty-nine ninjas. Worse yet, since the attack hit the core of his base, among these t...

Ch31. Warning

It was the third day since Ren returned to Konoha and he was currently at his home in the capital of the Land of Fire, standing next to his kitchen table with a shadow clone standing on the other side of the table as they both focused their chakra on a seal spread on a massive scroll on the table...

Ch30. Ino's future? No idea.

"As for you, Ino..." Ren spoke after the girls had finished bickering, "I have no idea." He eye-smiled at the girl, making her scowl.

But before she could open her mouth in protest, Ren continued, "You are my student for just a few days so I can't say I have a properly fleshed-out idea abou...

Ch29. Hinata's future path

"So? What were you two talking about before I showed up?" Ino asked while her fingers and brush still worked on Ren's hair, her grin widening when she saw Hinata blushing and averting her gaze. She was smelling a good rumor and she was ready to pounce.

Unfortunately for her, Ren had other p...

Ch28. Visits

Turns out, Hinata used her Byakugan because she was worried that something happened to Ren when he didn't answer his door. She heard that he returned to the village from his mission injured so she hurried over to check on him.

Once again, the twenty seconds necessary to use his transportati...

Ch27. Home away from home

"Ngh." Ren groaned as he woke up and hugged his pillow closer to his chest, lying in a comfortable bed in pure bliss. It had been a week since the ambush and he was finally back in Konoha.

After the ambush, nothing interesting really happened, and Ren had to grit his teeth through the inspe...

Ch26. Ambush

Ren gritted his teeth as he barely evaded another kunai and cursed himself for getting careless. Keigo was so easy-going that Ren had to ashamedly admit it rubbed on him. He didn't even create a shadow clone to shadow him before he started to inspect the seals!

So, he now had to fight on an...

Ch25. The seal inspection

After breakfast, Keigo still had something to do so Ren had to wait for him until lunch before they finally left to inspect the detection seals.

It sounded important. The detection seal system. But it was far less impressive than it sounded. Which was why nobody was rushing Ren to go and ha...

Ch24. Keigo

"Hello," A man in his early twenties with mousy brown hair and a bit of stubble suddenly sat next to Ren in the cafeteria of the border base and cheerfully greeted him. "I am Keigo. I will be escorting you to the detection seals. One of them is faulty for sure, but I dunno 'bout the rest."

...

Ch23. Lunatics! All of them!

A day had passed since Ren's unwanted meeting with Danzo and he was currently at Konoha's gate, checking his supplies and sealing scrolls to ensure he brought with him everything he needed.

The unfortunate part of being a ninja was that if you were sent on some important mission, refusing w...

Ch22. Meeting a bogeyman

Another few days passed and Ino started to notice the small progress she was making. Ren still remembered her jumping up and down in glee when she came to the training one day, shouting about how she beat Kiba on the track field in the academy during a running competition.

Later on, Hinata ...

Ch21. Joys of teaching 2

It has been several days since Ino's first training and she was slowly getting used to it. After the first day when Hinata sucker punched her in the face, she had her reality check and grudgingly accepted that she wasn't as good as she thought. She even stopped complaining... much.

Ren took...

Ch20. Two students meeting

The next day after the awkward family dinner, Ren picked Ino up at her house in the afternoon, before leading her to training ground forty-one where Hinata was already supposed to be waiting for him.

They arrived, and Ren smiled when he saw the Hyuga girl already doing her daily dose of phy...

Ch19. Ino

Ren knocked on Inoichi's door, feeling a bit nervous about attending their family dinner.

The door opened and Ren's eyes fell on a fourteen-year-old girl with long flowing blonde hair and pretty blue eyes. Ren had to admit she was beautiful.

And he promptly mentally winced, reminding ...

Ch18. An offer Ren can't refuse

Sitting in his office at the Barrier Corps headquarters, Ren was reluctantly dealing with some of his accumulated paperwork.

The office was barebones and seemed not lived in. It wasn't decorated at all. Ren didn't bother. He was at the Barrier Corps only once or twice per week, taking all t...

Ch17. Naruto Uzumaki

Ren turned toward the voice, only to see Naruto Uzumaki. This was actually the first time he interacted with him. For various reasons, he tried to avoid Naruto like a plague but having a late lunch at Ichiraku was clearly tempting fate.

He knew about Naruto and saw him quite frequently in t...

Ch16. Gravity seals

"There. That's done." Ren tensely said after finishing drawing the gravity seals on Hinata as he stiffly took her jacket from the ground beside her and covered her naked body before standing up and taking a large step back.

He gulped. There must be something wrong with how chakra interacted...

Ch15. Troublesome student

"So... are you going to tell me what happened?" Ren asked, looking at Hinata with an unamused stare. 

It was Saturday so he hadn't seen the girl the whole day. And when she came to the training today, she was a mess. She tried to valiantly hide it but the small wince whenever she stepp...

Ch14. Meeting Choza

A month slowly passed as Hinata's training intensified. They slowly added weaponry to their spars and Ren even rarely used ninjutsu when he was certain the girl could dodge it.

Just to prepare her to face it eventually.

He also increased her physical workout and expanded it from just ...

Ch13. Joys of teaching

"You did well. You are much faster now." Ren said to the panting girl who collapsed onto the grass after she finished ten laps around the pond. She gave it her all since Ren wanted her to finish them as fast as she could.

She still wasn't anything to write home about. He would say she could...

Ch12. Hinata's assignment

After Kurenai dealt with Gato, the rest of the mission was just like Ren liked them. Boring. With nothing happening. Full of relaxing free time where he got paid for standing around and failing to look menacing.

He even managed to rescue several million ryo from Gato so there really was not...

Ch11. After the fight

Kurenai, Itsuki, and Ren sat in an empty room in Tazuna's house, still looking disheveled and weary as they had just arrived here a few hours ago, choosing to have a short rest before deciding on how to proceed.

Unfortunately, even if Kurenai's students and Kenji died, Tazuna was found quiv...

Ch10. vs Zabuza

Kurenai was clearly an emotional mess after seeing her Genin murdered but she was still a Jonin. She calmed down halfway on her way to Zabuza and instead of trying to charge him down with a kunai, her hands flickered in a flutter of hand seals as she cast a genjutsu at him.

Seeing that, Ren...

Ch9. A mess

"You three were called for an emergency mission and will be sent as reinforcements for another team." The Hokage gravely said to Ren and the two other chunin who previously manned the assignment desk while the three of them stood in front of Hokage's desk at attention.

"This situation caugh...

Ch8. Mission

Time passed and slowly, it was two weeks since Ren became Hinata's tutor. The girl was improving every day, especially at dodging and chakra control. Her chakra capacity was slowly increasing too.

If it went like this for two more weeks, Ren was thinking about introducing some elemental tra...

Ch7. Food of Gods

After telling Hinata that the trick with the water balloon was secret and she should not share it, the training was over for the day. She did not have much chakra left anyway. Ren escorted her back to her clan compound and went on his way.

That happened yesterday.

Today, the training ...

Ch6. Byuakugan busted?

"Alright! With that, the introductions are over. Let's do some ninja-ing, then." Ren spoke as he slowly stood up, gesturing at Hinata to follow him. "You are fourteen, so if I remember correctly, your class is learning the tree walking now in the academy? Did I get that right?"

When Hiruzen...

Ch5. Hinata Hyuga

Meeting Hiashi made Ren question if the man loved Hinata at all. Maybe the canon had it wrong? Or was Hiashi acting like a total bastard due to some stupid clan politics or something?

Honestly, Ren didn't care. His mood was somewhat ruined.

Training Hinata was firmly classified as a c...

Ch4. Meeting the Hyugas

Ren sat in Hiashi's office, nervous and trying to prevent himself from sweating with some clever application of chakra he made himself in his younger years when he was bored out of his mind in the academy.

In front of him with a desk between them, was Hiashi in all his stoic glory and bland...
