• Ren stabilized his cultivation, spent time with the women by his side, and welcomed two boys and a girl into the Uchiha Inner Courtyard.

The Third Hokage, Tsunade, and Shikaku agreed that Ren’s instruction could strengthen Team 7 and improve ties between Konoha and the Uchiha, while Kakashi would handle the team’s daily leadership. At the Ninja Academy, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura remained behind waiting for their teacher to arrive.

Kakashi tested Team 7 by subjecting Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura to overwhelming killing intent, and all three forced themselves to stand together rather than retreat.

• While Team 7 searched for a wealthy woman’s missing pet, Sasuke complained that these chores wasted his time and asked when he would be able to surpass his brother.

Kakashi explained that peacetime had made high-level missions scarce and that Team 7 needed to build a reliable mission record before clients would trust them. Sasuke’s Uchiha name could attract clients, while Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke wondered why their promised advanced-training instructor still had not appeared.

• Naruto and Sasuke complained that Team 7’s low-level missions were wasting their time.
• Kakashi explained that clients chose experienced, reputable ninja for dangerous missions, so Team 7 had to build its record by completing simple tasks reliably.

• Unable to safely condense a soul ring at age six, Ren spent three months practicing the Tiger Leopard Thunderclap Body Tempering Art and transformed his body.

Ren gained the Treasureglow Eyes soul skill, built wealth and reached level forty-nine by age twelve, then traveled to Chaotic Star City to establish his own faction.

Ren persuaded Zhong Yuan to become the Exchange Tower’s resident expert in exchange for Drunken Origin Brew and the promise of help refining the Yellow Profound Creation Immortality Pill.

Ren stopped rival shopkeepers from forcing the Exchange Tower to change its business practices, then built the Tower into a major enterprise over the following year. After breaking through to level fifty and becoming a Soul Sect Master, he learned of a dangerous mental-type Phantom Beast that could provide a combat Soul Skill and agreed to seek it out with Elder Zhong.

• Elder Zhong confronted the shopkeepers who were threatening to boycott the Exchange Tower, and Ren chose to remove posted prices while keeping the Tower's fair-trade policy in place.
• Over the next year, the Exchange Tower expanded into intelligence, escort work, searches, Soul Artifact trading, and dispute mediation.
• Ren broke through his level-forty-nine bottleneck and reached level fifty, becoming a Soul Sect Master.
