Though their strength was only around Chunin level, their years of hard work had left the family fairly well-off. They lived comfortably by Konoha standards.
They had given their only daughter all the help and care they could.
When they learned that their daughter had earned Lord Torifu's approval and would even get to learn Strength of a Hundred from Lady Tsunade, the couple were so happy that they cried.
"Rin! We didn't get this opportunity for any other reason than luck."
"But luck is part of strength, too. Starting tomorrow, you must study as hard as you can!"
"Women have never been weaker than men. And you'll be following Lady Tsunade, Konoha's greatest kunoichi! You must earn her approval, understand?"
Rin knew her family could only do so much for her. Being noticed by the Grandmaster was a stroke of incredible luck, and she had to work hard!
"Training in Strength of a Hundred will be harder than you can imagine, but don't give up. Once you master it, your future will be bright!"
Both of her parents were shinobi, so they understood all too well that being a shinobi was getting harder and harder.
Talent and connections determined how far a shinobi could go.
For an ordinary family like theirs, the only way to climb higher and make it through the increasingly difficult path of a shinobi was to seize every opportunity.
If Rin mastered Strength of a Hundred, she would certainly become a Jonin at the very least! In Konoha, that meant becoming part of the backbone of the village—an essential asset.
Unlike Chunin like her parents, who could be spent at any time.
To put it more selfishly, learning Lady Tsunade's signature technique would allow Rin to protect herself if war broke out in the future.
