Naruto: Young Teacher
Chapter 33
Ren arrived at the safe house and paused as he took in the scene before him. Hinata was crying softly in Akari's arms, while Ino stood nearby, wiping her own tears.
He frowned slightly in confusion but chose not to interrupt. Instead, he quietly teleported away.
He reappeared inside the guest room, where Karin was still asleep.
Ren walked over and gently poked her cheek.
"Wake up," he said casually. "It's already late morning."
Karin slowly opened her eyes and was met with the sight of a black-haired, blue-eyed boy smiling at her.
Her face instantly turned red as she quickly sat up.
"Yo, I'm Ren," he introduced himself. "The one who saved you from the Hidden Grass Village."
Karin's eyes lit up immediately.
"Th-thank you for saving me and my mother," she said, her heart racing.
Ren simply smiled and casually patted her head.
Karin unconsciously leaned into the touch, enjoying it more than she realized.
"Well, come on," Ren said. "Let's go meet your mother. I'll explain everything there."
Karin nodded and followed him, her thoughts spiraling as she walked behind him.
His chakra feels so warm…
They soon arrived in the main hall.
"Yo, you guys done?" Ren asked casually.
Ino glanced at him, then at the blushing Karin behind him.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and Hinata's expression also sharpened.
"And why are you coming from there?" Ino asked suspiciously.
Ren shrugged.
"When I arrived, you three were busy, so I went to wake Karin up," he replied calmly. "Now that everyone's here, let's have breakfast."
Both Ino and Hinata nodded, though their expressions remained slightly wary.
Ren then looked at Akari.
"I know you have questions," he said. "Let's talk while we eat."
Akari nodded, and everyone gathered around the table.
Ren unsealed food from his wrist storage seal and placed it neatly before them.
"I want both you and Karin to learn fuinjutsu," Ren began. "Train with us, grow stronger, and help me when needed."
Akari nodded without hesitation.
"This is very beneficial for us," she said. "But the Grass Village—"
Ren smiled innocently.
"Oh, didn't I tell you? The Land of Grass was attacked. It's nearly destroyed now."
Everyone froze.
"Y-you…" Ino stammered.
Hinata looked shocked, while Akari and Karin stared at him with wide eyes.
"Forget about that small detail," Ren said casually.
Ino immediately snapped.
"Destroying a village is a small thing to you?" she said. "Do you even understand the political consequences?"
Ren shrugged.
"What does that have to do with me?" he said. "I'm just a Konoha genin."
Everyone's mouths twitched.
Technically… he wasn't wrong.
No one could prove anything.
"Anyway," Ren continued calmly, "back to the topic."
He turned to Akari.
"You'll focus on resting and recovering," he said. "Once you're stable, I'll put gravity seal on you."
Akari nodded, accepting his words without objection.
Ren then turned to Karin.
"As for you, Karin," he said, "I'll apply gravity, chakra storage, and wrist seals right away. You'll train with Hinata and Ino, and learn fuinjutsu from me when you have time."
"I'll do my best," Karin replied firmly.
After finishing their meal, Ren took both Akari and Karin to the sealing chamber.
Meanwhile, Hinata and Ino went outside to train near the garden.
Inside the chamber, Ren began placing seals on both of them.
Once he finished with the basic seals, he moved on to Karin's gravity seal.
Karin's face turned bright red.
The process required precise inscription across the body, forcing her to be naked.
Akari also turned slightly red, realizing she would have to go through the same process later.
"Ahem… I'm not a pervert," Ren said calmly. "The seal needs to be inscribed properly across the body. Otherwise, the gravity pressure could harm you."
Both Karin and Akari nodded, understanding the necessity.
After finishing, they stepped outside.
Karin immediately went to join Hinata and Ino in training.
Ren, meanwhile, guided Akari to the study room.
He began teaching her advanced fuinjutsu techniques.
"As an Uzumaki, you already have a foundation," Ren said. "That makes things easier."
Akari nodded.
"Yes, I've learned the basics," she replied.
Ren studied her carefully.
"You've already awakened the Mind's Eye of Kagura and the Healing Bite," he said. "That's impressive."
Akari smiled faintly.
"I suppose so."
Ren shook his head.
"You're underestimating yourself," he said. "With proper training, you could easily reach Kage level—or beyond."
Akari laughed lightly.
"Stop joking," she said.
"I'm serious," Ren replied calmly. "With my gravity seal, your physique will continuously improve. Add nature transformation training with my seal and shadow clone Jutsu are just matter of time."
Akari paused.
The more she thought about it, the more it made sense.
"Then I'll train harder," she said with determination.
Ren immediately shook his head.
"No training until you recover," he said firmly. "Or be ready for punishment."
Akari blinked before laughing softly. Ren continued teacheing her.
After some time, Hinata, Karin and Ino returned from their training.
Ren tossed Akari and Karin each a marked kunai.
"These are Flying Thunder God markers, Similar to Ino's." ren explained.
They looked at the kunai carefully.
"You can store chakra in them and teleport to different locations," Ren continued. "This one links to three islands."
He paused briefly.
"There are two more locations," he added. "A rocky island for intense training, and a desert island for large-scale ninjutsu testing."
He smirked slightly.
"And there's also a private hot spring."
Karin's eyes widened in amazement, while Akari looked equally surprised.
The idea of such freedom and resources felt unreal to them.
"Well then," Ren said casually, "I'll be heading back."
With that, he disappeared in a flash.
