After handing several bottles to Orochimaru, Ren spoke again.
"It contains not only their Chakra, but also some body tissue and blood; I think that should be enough."
"Thank you so much, Ren- kun. This is all very helpful, both your story and what we're seeing here."
Orochimaru took it, then smiled and narrowed his eyes.
"Then I'll leave everything to you, Orochimaru- senpai!"
Ren made the request very earnestly, and Orochimaru nodded vigorously upon hearing it.
Before leaving, Ren added.
"Tomorrow, another sample of Naruto Uzumaki will be delivered, and it may be slightly different from this one."
After saying that, Ren left Orochimaru's laboratory.
As for where to go next, of course it's to teach the three of them a lesson, and incidentally, to curry favor with Naruto and Sasuke and Sasuke, building a deeper relationship.
After learning that the enemy was the Sage of Six Paths, Ren did not choose to eliminate Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha completely.
Whether or not they are completely wiped out is one thing; back then, not a single ash was left of the Eight-Tails, so why aren't they living well now?
Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha were never the target; the key was their Chakra and the Sage of Six Paths behind them.
After Ren finished his fight, the Sage of Six Paths then pulled the two of them aside and told them a story, turning Ren into the villain.
Danzo wouldn't consider doing something as suicidal as Ren.
What we need to do now is simply shift the battlefield to our area of expertise and repeat what we've done before.
They sow discord, win over allies, cultivate a righteous persona, and smear their enemies.
As for Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha being the sons of the Sage of Six Paths?
That's pure nonsense. The Sage of Sage of Six Paths' sons were Asura and Indra, not Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha.
Even if it were true, if Gamamaru could fool the two brothers into sealing their mother, then Ren couldn't fool them into turning against their father.
Ren doesn't think he's inferior to a Toad. He's known Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha for so long, and they both admire him so much. Now, he's their teacher.
With this natural advantage, Ren felt confident that the situation was in his favor and he couldn't possibly lose!
A day passes.
As for Ren, aside from checking in at the Hokage Building every day, he Sasuke Uchiha almost all his time with Natsuri, and Naruto.
Ideological education continued every day, and Ren gradually shaped the values of the three.
Of course, Ren can't just follow Jiraiya and only focus on ideological education.
As for Naruto, Ren not only taught him his core skill, the Rasengan, but also a series of Wind Release Ninjutsu and the Sealing Jutsu he promised Minato to teach him.
As for Sasuke Uchiha, in addition to various Lightning Release and Fire Release Ninjutsu, he was also taught the theories of Ninjutsu, the principles of developing techniques, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and the corresponding content of Sasuke Uchiha Sharingan, without missing a single detail.
Natsuri wasn't neglected either. Based on Natsuri's characteristics, Ren taught her a series of easy-to-learn techniques that greatly simplified Hand Seals, as well as Taijutsu and the Sharingan as her main skills.
Under Ren's dedicated guidance, the three grew rapidly, not only in strength but also in mindset.
Watching the three grow up, Ren knew that the new Sannin from the original story would not exist; all three had formed contracts with the Uchiha Clan's cat-like Ninja Cat Clan.
As for the Three Great Sage Lands, Ren will not allow them to have any contact with them.
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. Summoning Technique is fine as a supplementary means to enrich the combat system, but if it becomes too powerful, it becomes a matter of not distinguishing between primary and secondary elements.
Toad, snakes, and Katsuyu —they don't sound like good things, let alone that they're all thousand-year-old tortoises.
However, today, Ren did not have the three of them accompany him during his training.
The reason is that the forces from various ninja villages have already arrived in Konoha.
Unlike typical performance settings, there's no rule that the most important tasks are performed last.
The teams that have arrived in Konoha today are from the other four major nations. After all, arriving in Konoha first allows them to occupy a better and closer location to the Konoha.
The ninja forces were stationed outside Konoha, and only a select few ninjas were allowed to accompany the daimyo and nobles into Konoha.
The ninja forces stationed outside the Hiashi were managed by Hiashi, Konoha elder who held the title but whose authority was revoked after the Sarutobi Clan incident.
Ren was in charge of receiving daimyo and nobles from various countries.
At this moment, not only were the heads of various departments of Konoha standing around Ren, but the three little ones were also standing quietly to the side at the edge.
One aspect is to always remember to cultivate relationships through mutual support.
On the other hand, Ren's original idea remained unchanged: one of them would become the next Hokage, and the other would become the next head of the Konoha Military Police Force.
Many things require more than just strong abilities; it's important to cultivate their other abilities from a young age.
Ren even gave them a special task, complete with a task scroll and rewards.
The task description is full of official language, but to sum it up in six words: read it carefully and study it well.
The first to enter was the daimyo of the Land of Fire, who had met Ren once before, and stepped down from the magnificent palanquin.
After exchanging a few words with Ren, he stood beside Ren, while the rest of the group followed the staff who were already in place to their residence.
Next up was the team from the Land of Water. Due to the relationship between Konoha and Kirigakure, the two countries have had frequent exchanges in recent years.
Even though it required a long sea voyage, the Land of Water's team was still the first to arrive in Konoha.
As the Daimyo of the Land of Water stepped out of the palanquin, Naruto, one of the three children who had been excited to see such an important figure for the first time, looked puzzled.
