Nawaki knew his sister better than anyone—after all, they were siblings. The faint dark circles beneath Ren's eyes gradually faded, but his cheeks reddened as he snapped, "You stole my things and think a few ninjutsu can make up for it? Even if you spent your whole life repaying me, you still couldn't repay what you took!"
Ren spoke angrily. Nawaki swallowed and said, "Um... um... Looks like my sister took something really incredible!"
Ren shook his head and slowly headed toward the Ninja Academy. "Medicinal herbs preserved for three thousand years contain immense medicinal power. Even ordinary people could recover from severe injuries after taking them. If Tsunade took one, the effects would be absurd. The terrifying medicinal power would stimulate the vitality within her bloodline, filling her cells with life and her Chakra with life. She probably couldn't die even if she wanted to. I only had three such precious herbs, but your sister stole two of them yesterday. Looks like inheriting the First Hokage's eating, drinking, and gambling wasn't enough—she even surpassed him and learned how to swindle, cheat, and steal."
Faced with those resentment-filled words, Nawaki smiled awkwardly. "Um... I apologize, I apologize... When my sister comes back, I'll make her apologize too. But it seems like you know my sister very well."
Ren nodded silently. "An apology? That doesn't seem very realistic. Fine... I'll just count myself unlucky. Who told me to know Tsunade so well? Not only have I seen her naked, I even understand the condition inside her body perfectly."
As soon as those words fell, Nawaki was dumbfounded. He swallowed hard. "What...?"
Ren paid no attention to Nawaki's shock, because a clear voice came from the distance. Kushina Uzumaki waved her hand. "Ren... I'm over here!"
Hearing that, Ren turned his gaze toward Kushina. By then, she had already run over and looked at him with delight.
Seeing this, Nawaki was even more stunned. "Damn... That's way too fierce, isn't it? He saw my sister naked, and now he's picking up girls. This is too much!"
Before long, Ren had entered the Ninja Academy. What he did not know was that the Hokage Office was displaying the same scene.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at his disciple and said helplessly, "Uh... what should I even say?"
"That little bastard... What does he mean, saw her naked, understood perfectly, eating, drinking, and gambling, surpassed him, swindling, cheating, and stealing... You bastard, I only took two herbs whose effects I didn't even know! Did you have to make such a big deal out of it?" As Tsunade spoke, she remembered the scene she had just seen through the crystal ball and immediately flew into a rage, ready to hit someone!
Jiraiya was somewhat dumbfounded, still immersed in Ren's words as he muttered, "Saw her naked, and even understands her body perfectly. So lucky...!"
Orochimaru remained expressionless. "That red-haired little girl is the future Jinchuriki?"
At that, the Third Hokage nodded silently and said calmly, "That's right... She is Konoha's future Jinchuriki. Those two children are both from the Uzumaki Clan, and one of them will become the future Jinchuriki. We still don't know which one it will be. But today's mission is related to the Jinchuriki!"
With those words, even the furious Tsunade fell silent. Naturally, she understood the matter of Jinchuriki. After all, the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki, Mito Uzumaki, was her grandmother. Tsunade also knew what the two Uzumaki girls' situation was, but upon accidentally hearing Ren's words, she still could not help getting angry.
The Third Hokage said, "This mission is not only related to the Jinchuriki, but also to the Uzumaki Clan."
As the Third Hokage continued, Tsunade gradually calmed down and listened carefully to his words.
Leaving that aside, Ren entered the Ninja Academy with a thoughtful look in his eyes. The surveillance is gone. That strange spiritual power earlier probably came from the Hokage's crystal ball!
The moment Ren encountered Nawaki, he had sensed that something was off.
Especially when his spiritual power stirred slightly, as though it were telling him that someone was watching him. Ren naturally chose to trust his own feelings, because his grandfather had said that he had inherited his clan's sensory abilities.
After Kushina appeared and they entered the Ninja Academy, the surveillance vanished.
Though it was strange, Ren did not pay much attention to it.
At that moment, Kushina looked at Ren and asked, "What's wrong? Were you too excited to sleep well last night?"
Ren chuckled at her words. "More or less! But it doesn't matter now. Let's wait for the arrangements. I really want to see our new classmates. I wonder if there are any interesting people among them!"
As he spoke, Ren saw Yamaki approaching!
Rejection and Rage
"Teacher Yamaki!"
Ren spoke calmly as he watched Yamaki approach.
Yamaki nodded slightly. "All three of you are here. Then come with me. Your class has already been arranged. Study hard from now on and become Konoha's pride!"
Those impassioned words sounded utterly indifferent to Ren.
Ren automatically filtered them out. He could do without such brainwashing nonsense.
Kushina was different. Her eyes sparkled as she declared firmly, "I want to become Konoha's first female Hokage!"
She was full of vigor, then turned her gaze toward Ren, carrying the air of a strong woman.
Reiko Uzumaki was somewhat shy. She lowered her head and said softly, "I understand."
Yamaki had a headache over the three of them, but fortunately, he was not their instructor. He was one of the school's administrators. Since he knew their identities, he had even less desire to teach Ren and the others.
Of the three, two were from the Uzumaki Clan, and one of them would definitely become a Jinchuriki in the future. Once one became a Jinchuriki, the other would be the Jinchuriki's close sister, and her status would naturally be different as well. As for Ren, Yamaki had already found out who he was. Jiraiya stood behind him, and he had become involved with the Senju Clan these past two days. How could Yamaki dare provoke him?
It could be said that none of the three before him could be offended or touched. It was better to let them develop freely. Yamaki thought to himself as he headed toward Class One, silently mourning for Ren and the others' future teacher!
Bang... Bang...
The quiet classroom's calm was shattered.
The teacher who had been about to begin class stopped and looked at Yamaki. "Lord Yamaki... is there something you need?"
As a teacher, he naturally knew who his superior was.
Yamaki smiled lightly, then looked at Ren and the others. "Yamada... these are three new students. From now on, they will be students of Class One."
As soon as those words fell, quite a few students in the large classroom turned to look at Ren and the others.
Yamada, the teacher, was slightly stunned. "I see. Transfer students?"
Though his words were calm, he understood that the three before him were not ordinary. Yamaki had personally escorted them here, which clearly meant they had powerful backing.
Yamaki said, "That's right... I'll leave these three children to you. Teach them well. Lord Hokage has high hopes for their growth."
At those words, a glint flashed in Yamada's eyes. "I understand. I will teach these three children well!"
Yamaki then left, leaving only Ren and the other two behind.
While Yamaki and Yamada were talking, Ren's gaze had already swept across the entire classroom. He still could not use his sensory abilities, but some instinctive perception remained.
Looking at these future classmates, Ren noticed quite a few familiar faces.
At that moment, Ren's gaze fell on Minato. Though he looked somewhat adorably blank, there was no doubt that he was the future Minato Namikaze. Minato was also looking at Ren and the others, though most of his attention rested on Kushina and Reiko.
Before long, Teacher Yamada said, "All right... since you're new classmates, introduce yourselves."
It was an ordinary line, and a very common opening.
Ren nodded silently and was about to step onto the platform to introduce himself when he noticed that Kushina was trembling slightly, with a trace of anger on her face.
At that moment, Ren noticed the gazes of many students. Those gazes carried rejection, as though they were rejecting all three of them.
Kushina called out angrily, "My name is Kushina Uzumaki, and my dream is to become Konoha's female Hokage."
