The reason Ren became familiar with me wasn't because I had any interaction with Ren.
Rather, as a named character in the original work, Ren has clear memories of him.
Ebisu, born a commoner, Special Jōnin of Konoha. A month and a half ago, he became Konohamaru Sarutobi's tutor and has a close relationship with the Sarutobi Clan.
This is a brief record of Ren from the documents in Ebisu's possession.
Born into a commoner family, yet able to serve as Konohamaru's tutor, one must have put in a lot of effort beyond just combat skills, including cultivating the Sarutobi Clan.
After reviewing Ebisu's words again, Ren felt that it was indeed a case of heaven being jealous of talent.
After serving as Konohamaru's tutor for just over ten days, Ren became Hokage. Now, a little over a month later, the Sarutobi Clan has become a leaky, dilapidated ship.
What bad luck!
No wonder Ebisu made such a statement; he must have been frightened and was eager to sever ties with the Sarutobi Clan.
As for Ebisu's shrewd and worldly-wise demeanor, and his deep hatred for the Sarutobi Clan...
Ren bird chooses a good tree to perch on.
The great job that Ebisu had worked so hard to get turned into a hot potato in the blink of an eye.
Anyone would be furious. If you can't blame the village, then you can only blame the Sarutobi Clan. It's only natural that people have a deeper prejudice against the Sarutobi Clan than others.
In Ebisu's words, Ren not only saw his worldly wisdom but also the burning Will of Fire within Ebisu.
As expected, characters with names in the original work have high moral character.
This was the purest civilian ninja with the Will of Fire Ren had ever seen. It was too unworthy for him to fall into the water with the Sarutobi Clan, this broken ship.
Such a bright pearl should not be allowed to remain hidden; it should shine its dazzling light upon the Konoha!
Ren wrote a few lines directly on the paper and then spoke.
"Find someone to get this done quickly."
"Yes!"
Feeling extremely relaxed, Ren immediately crossed his legs and leaned back in his office chair.
Today's chores are done; it's time to focus on the important things.
Ren the corners of his mouth slightly, closed his eyes, and began to worry about the overall situation in Konoha.
The ninjas acted very quickly; in less than an hour, Ebisu had undergone several rounds of questioning and two interviews.
An extremely tense Ebisu, exerting almost all his strength, was sitting in a room resembling an interrogation room.
With his heart pounding and unsure of what awaited him, Ebisu felt each day drag on endlessly.
Clang.
The Gate of Opening opened, and a sweet-looking girl entered. The clan crest on her clothes clearly indicated her Uchiha Clan identity.
A third round of interrogation?
Did you see through my true nature, and that's why you used your beauty?
Looking at the pretty girl in front of him, Ebisu secretly told himself, "Although she's cute, I like bigger ones. Bring it on!"
"Ebisu, the Special Jōnin?"
"Ah? Ah! It is I."
Ebisu stopped daydreaming, immediately sat up straight, and answered in a serious manner, while looking straight ahead and observing the pretty girl out of the corner of his eye.
Out of the corner of Ebisu's eye, he saw the sweet girl smile.
It's coming!
Hold on!
Quickly think of something else to distract yourself!
Wait, why is there a hint of sadness in this beautiful woman's smile?
Are you a beginner, or is this your first time?
As Ebisu was lost in thought again, he heard the other person's beautiful voice, as melodious as a nightingale's.
"Congratulations, Ebisu, Special Jōnin. After multiple rounds of evaluation and considering your outstanding past performance, you have successfully been granted a new position."
He placed a document on the table in front of Ebisu and continued.
"You can refuse, but whether you refuse or accept, please be sure to give a reply this afternoon. The subsequent procedures are explained in detail in the document, please review it carefully."
After saying that, the pretty girl, who had made Ebisu's heart race, left.
What?!
Ebisu only snapped out of his daze when he heard the door close again.
When you laugh, I've even planned out my pose!
As the pretty girl left, Ebisu calmed down again and realized that he had been overthinking things, thinking about the clan crest on the girl's clothes.
Ebisu then realized that he had just completely lost his mind. How could a ninja from the Uchiha Clan be associated with someone like him?
Looking at the document before him, Ebisu thought about the recent ordeal of the Sarutobi Clan and wondered if it was the border of the Land of Wind or the Land of Earth.
Confused, Ebisu opened the file, first shocked, then overjoyed.
It was just an ordinary teacher position at the Ninja Academy; to be honest, Ebisu wouldn't have looked down on such a position before.
He's Special Jōnin, after all; it's a bit of a waste for him to become a teacher at the Ninja Academy.
But at such a crucial moment, this proves that he has not been implicated by the Sarutobi Clan.
Ebisu continued reading, and the more he read, the more surprised he became. This was no punishment; it was clearly a reward.
Ren's idea for Ebisu was simple: to place him at the Ninja Academy to teach history and the Will of Fire.
There aren't many ninjas as perceptive and shameless as Ebisu, and even fewer who possess the pure Will of Fire.
Teaching history and The Will of Fire. Ren highly agrees with Ebisu's concept of the "Darkest Hour," and this insightful observation should be shared with more people.
At the same time, for someone like Ebisu who is keen on currying favor, making empty promises is indispensable.
As one of the few teachers at the Ninja Academy with the title of 'Jonin', Ebisu is assessed every three years, and if he performs well, he is directly promoted.
Ebisu silently calculated in his mind what would happen if he achieved excellent results in every assessment.
Nine years!
It only takes nine years.
I can become the vice principal of the Ninja Academy myself!
At this moment, Ebisu was full of energy and couldn't wait to devote himself to the great cause of education.
Ebisu, adept at suppressing his excitement, turned his head in the small house toward the Hokage Building in his mind.
He bowed deeply and shouted loudly.
"Thank you, Great Fifth Hokage!"
When Ebisu stood up again, his spirit and energy had changed dramatically compared to before he came, and he felt incredibly warm inside.
The light of the Will of Fire has finally shone upon me!
