Naruto: Young Teacher
Chapter 31
Hinata walked toward Ren's house with a bento in her hands. She gently opened the door and stepped inside, completely familiar with the layout and the seals placed around the house.
None of the seals activated as her chakra signature was already registered, just like Ino's. It was a clear sign of how much Ren trusted them.
Hinata moved into the kitchen and carefully arranged the food she had brought onto plates. After placing everything neatly on the table, she quietly walked toward Ren's bedroom.
She opened the door and stepped inside.
Ren was still asleep.
Hinata sat beside him, her gaze softening.
He looks so cute when he's asleep, she thought as her cheeks turned slightly red.
She hesitated for a moment before gently poking his cheek.
"Ahem… Ren, wake up," she said softly. "I brought food for you."
When he didn't respond, she lightly shook him.
"Wake up, or the food will get cold."
Ren slowly stirred, rubbing his eyes as he yawned.
"…Hinata?" he muttered.
"Yes, it's me," she replied gently. "Now go wash up. The food will get cold."
Just then, the bedroom door suddenly swung open.
"Yo! Ino is here!" Ino announced dramatically.
She stepped inside with a playful grin.
"Hey, sleepy guy," Ino said. "Two beautiful girls brought you food, and you're still sleeping?"
Ren, still half-asleep, stood up and stretched lazily.
"Yes, ma'am…" he muttered before walking toward the bathroom.
As soon as he left, Hinata and Ino exchanged looks.
"You arrived quite early, Hinata," Ino said with a teasing smile.
"Well, what can I do?" Hinata replied calmly. "Though I didn't expect to see you here… Sasuke's fangirl."
Ino froze for a brief moment.
She ignored the comment and walked toward the table, though her clenched fist didn't go unnoticed.
Hinata smiled faintly and followed her.
A few minutes later, Ren returned after washing up.
"Well, I didn't expect you two to come this early," he said casually. "And you even brought food."
It was a lie, of course.
Ren wasn't clueless, but he chose to act oblivious. They were still young, and he preferred to wait before addressing anything serious.
He sat down and began eating.
After a few bites, he paused.
"You two made this yourselves, right?" he said. "It's really good. You'd both make perfect wives."
He continued eating without realizing the effect of his words.
Hinata and Ino both blushed deeply, their faces turning red.
They smiled softly as they watched him eat everything they had prepared.
Ren suddenly spoke again.
"Sakura will probably join the hospital soon to learn medical ninjutsu," he said casually. "She even mastered tree walking in half an hour."
Both girls froze.
Ino forced a smile as she spoke.
"I see… can you tell us more about the mission?"
Ren nodded and began explaining everything.
As he continued, the atmosphere slowly changed.
So they were together for an entire week… and he personally trained her, Ino thought, clenching her teeth internally.
She's joining the hospital too… Hinata thought quietly.
Both girls felt a subtle sense of irritation building.
Damn you, Kakashi, they thought simultaneously.
They didn't want more girls getting close to Ren.
What they didn't know was that a red-haired girl and her mother would soon be living in this very house.
Far away, Ren's shadow clone—disguised as a masked ninja—arrived near the borders of Kusagakure.
His Six Eyes activated, scanning the entire village and identifying chakra signatures.
Soon, he found two unique signatures.
"That must be Karin and her mother," he muttered.
He turned toward the direction of the Blood Prison.
Arriving at the outskirts, he activated his sixeyes again.
The distance meant nothing to his eyes.
He carefully observed the prisoners and the seals placed on them.
"Fire Release: Heavenly Prison… a sealing technique," he murmured. "Let's see how it works."
He spent hours analyzing the structure and function of the seal.
Eventually, he nodded.
"So that's how it works."
Behind him, several guards lay unconscious.
They had noticed him earlier, but were quickly taken out.
By the time they woke up, everything would already be over.
The clone returned to the village and tracked Karin's mother as she was sent back to her broken home.
Her chakra was nearly exhausted from constant forced healing.
Night fell.
The masked clone silently eliminated the guards watching over them And entered the house.
Karin and her mother were already staring at him. So they both have the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, he thought.
"You're coming with me," he said calmly.
Karin's mother looked at him for a moment before nodding.
The clone placed a hand on both of them.
They stiffened but didn't resist. In an instant, all three vanished.
Moments later, chaos erupted in Kusagakure.
Fires spread rapidly across the village, consuming buildings.
The hospital burned as screams echoed through the night.
Explosions followed, shaking the ground.
Ninjas rushed to contain the flames using water release, but the destruction continued to spread.
The village fell into complete chaos.
Hundreds were injured.
Many burned alive.
Ren's clone remained indifferent.
He wasn't a saint.
If not for the consequences, the entire village would have been erased that night.
But even then, he left them with one final message.
A massive explosion erupted from the hospital.
The shockwave sent people flying as a towering cloud of smoke rose into the sky.
The damage was catastrophic.
Elsewhere another explosion occurred.
This time, it happened in the Land of Grass Daimyo's castle.
Another massive cloud rose into the sky.
Spies from various nations barely survived as they witnessed the destruction.
Reports of the incident quickly spread to all Five Great Nations.
The world had just been shaken.
