Though they were only Chunin in strength, years of hard work had left the family fairly well-off, living a modestly comfortable life in Konoha.
They had given their only daughter all the help and care they could.
When they learned that their daughter had earned Lord Torikaze's favor and would be able to study Super Strength under Lady Tsunade, the couple had cried with joy.
"Rin! We received this opportunity for no reason other than luck."
"But luck is also part of one's strength. Starting tomorrow, you must train extremely hard!"
"Women have never been weaker than men, especially when you're studying under Lady Tsunade, Konoha's greatest female ninja! You must earn her recognition, understand!"
Rin also knew that her family could only provide her with limited support. Receiving her Grandmaster's attention was an immense stroke of luck, and she had to work hard!
"The hardships required to train Super Strength are beyond what ordinary people can imagine, but you must never give up. As long as you master it, your future will be bright!"
Both of them were ninja, so they understood very clearly that being a ninja was becoming increasingly difficult.
Talent and connections determined a ninja's path forward.
For ordinary families like theirs to rise higher and continue along the increasingly difficult path of a ninja, they had to seize every opportunity.
As long as Rin mastered Super Strength, she would at least start out as a Jonin in the future! In Konoha, that meant she would be part of the backbone, someone indispensable.
Unlike Chunin like the two of them, who could be expended at any time.
To put it more selfishly, if she could master Lady Tsunade's signature technique, Rin would have enough power to protect herself should war break out in the future.
