章節 101: Chapter 101 - Recruit Number 11

A day after the fight between Akatsuki and Konoha hunting team, in Naruto's training ground in Konoha, the figures of Yamato, Ren, Shizune and Tsunade could be seen looking at Naruto and his clones as he is about to show them his new technique.

So Naruto with the help of two shadow clones he starts his new Jutsu, while he provides the chakra, one clone helps keep the chakra contained, and the second clone adds his wind nature.

Soon a loud screeching noise is heard, with the Rasengan as its core, four large points around appear around it, giving it the appearance of a fuma shuriken, then Naruto rushes to his target, a wooden puppet made by Yamato, and he hit it with is new jutsu yelling "Futon: Rasenshuriken (Wind Release: Rasenshuriken)"

The hit wooden puppet travel together with the jutsu for some distance before the central sphere of the Rasenshuriken detonates, producing a vortex of wind in the immediate area, and within this vortex, countless microscopic wind blades are created ravaging anything in the detonation distance.

Seeing the effect of the new jutsu, Shizune is left shocked with her mouth wide open, while Yamato saw the whole development phase kept his calm, but only Tsunade was slightly frowning, her gaze was jumping from Naruto, to the devastating effect of the jutsu, and once again back to Naruto.

And as Naruto got closer saying "So what do you think Tsunade-baachan? Awesome right?", her gaze got sharper when she noticed the damage on Naruto's hand, and said "Naruto from now on you are forbidden to use this jutsu, unless you are in a life or death situation.

But before Naruto could counter, Ren waked next to him and then used his Kaido to heal his damaged hand and at the same time he said "I know what you are thinking about Tsunade-san, and you are right as he is now Naruto can't use this jutsu unless he wants to lose the ability to mold Chakra in his hand"

Hearing that Tsunade comment "It is that serious uh?...wait how are you healing that damage?" then Ren once again use the same excuse of learning the ancient way of the Shinigami, then he continues "Now what is important is Naruto next training phase..." then he turns to Naruto while Tsunade, Yamato and Shizune digest the fact than in the ancient times there wasn't Chakra, and that monster roamed the world, and that now these monsters are coming back.

"Naruto if you complete this next phase your power will grow immensely...it will grow to a level where you can be a threat even to the current Sasuke" and Naruto excited ask "Really! What is it? Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!" and Ren replies "You have to go to Mount Myōboku and request to learn about Sage Mode...talking about Sage Mode where is Jiraiya".

And Tsunade replies "He is outside searching for intelligence about the Akatsuki Headquarters..." and Ren stunned say "R... Really you remember the fact that we have Itachi with us and that we know their HQ location and even some of their abilities, and the fact that we didn't attack yet is only because we want to slowly weaken them...so what he is now doing is useless...".

Hearing that Tsunade realize this blunder and says "Y...Yeah, I'll call him back... now Yamato, Naruto good job now rest for a few days, then you can resume your training" and Ren "Now that I'm done with this I'll go to the Hospital and check on Taro and Jiro" then he used Shunpo and went away.

Once at the Hospital, Ren easily found the twin and saw that both of them were in low mood and asked "What happened did you get dumped once again?" the Jiro started explaining the fact that they were feeling useless after their mission as the only thing that they were able to do was act as a distraction for a few seconds, and then they were easily taken out by the opponent, and that they didn't know how to improve anymore as no matter what they try there seem to be a wall blocking them, where they can't improve further.

Ren listened to their worries then after thinking about for a few seconds, he says "Taro, Jiro, listen I may have an idea on how to make you stronger, but I have to first prepare some things... but be prepared I'm sure it won't be easy... so take your time and think about it... If you really want to get stronger, I'll help you" then he went away leaving the twins deep in thought.

Then as Ren was going back home to spend some time with Karin and his family, a small Senkaimon appeared next to him and a Jigokucho came out of it, and after reading the mini scroll it had he changed his destination an run toward the outskirts of Konoha

Once there what he found in front of him is a huge wooden structure with blue tile roof, and various children playing around, it is the Konoha Orphanage, and once inside he is greeted by a tall young man with, dark eyes and hair and slightly bulbous nose, with a large birthmark covering it, and don and a small goatee, he wears a black shirt with white shorts and sandals, as soon as he saw Ren he greets him and says "Hello, I'm Urushi how can I help you? Are you here to adopt a child?"

And Ren replies "Hello Urushi, I'm Haruno Ren and sorry but no, I'm not here to adopt a child, I'm here to talk with your brother about something, he should be expecting me" and Urushi pointing on his left "Oh yes! He told me a friend was coming, you will find him in the infirmary, it is that way" then Ren thanked him and walked toward the infirmary, and once there he knocked on the closer door, and once he heard "Come inside" he opened and walked inside.

There he saw the figure of Yamushi Kabuto, healing a small cut on a child's knees, one he finished healing it he smiled at the kid and said "Now you are as good as new, just be more careful when you run" then the child walked away saying"Thanks Kabuto-sensei!".

Then Kabuto looked at Ren and said "Thank you for making me remember who I'm, I really do not know what I could have done if I kept going that way..." and Ren "No problem... You would have probably reached the same answer..." and thought 'Not before, becoming Pedomaru ver. 2.0, and playing the game Shinobi vs Zombie and Doppelgangers...'.

Kabuto nods then says "About your offer to join your group..." then his gaze become colder and more focused "What is your objective and what is your plan with me?" then Ren explains the reason he made the Baransa, then he adds "About your role in this, isn't as a spy or even a fully fighting force... what I want is your brain and your experience as Orochimaru's aide, while his research and ethic was really nasty, we can't negate that some of those results can help many people... things like regrowing a lost limb, or give back sight to a blind person...or even jutsu or seal to help keeping the civilians safer... and even the less savory like his research on Kekkai Genkai and cloning could be used for making compatible organs for transplant, and give strength to those who need it to protect themselves and the others...especially with the Hollows coming back...of course I'm not asking you to do the same thing as him...just to use your knowledge and smarts to help others"
