blurrghh.. right now ren is vomiting the dango he ate before coming to the meeting point where his team was going to assemble .
it was a big mistake to eat before coming as the shit uchiha loki had a scheme to make them vomit their shit out . basically loki didnt say anything except to follow him .
ren and his 2 teammates were curious but still didnt bother asking as Loki was giving a serious vibe before . they didnt know that scheming jonin was laughing inside while maintaining a serious face . ninja really have oscar level acting skills except naruto of course .
after passing a few buildings 4 of them came in front of a huge building which was giving the vibe of being an important place .
ren was surprised and confused at the same time as the building turned out to be one of the bases of intelligence gathering and interrogation department .
well they had just become genin yesterday so in ren's mind was pure confusion as they dont seem to have any business with this place yet and the mysterious loki who didnt tell them anything before was also suspicious as he could have just told them that they were going to this department beforehand .
well all the confusion was completely swept away quickly as ren and his teammates had pale expressions after confirming their purpose here . simply they had to kill captured enemy ninja one each as it was necessary for them to experience killing before being deployed on the war frontlines .
ren knew that he would have to kill sometime but he definitely didnt think that it would come so soon . he was an earthling but after reading so much history and fiction, he knew that spiling blood was absolutely unavoidable during war . so ren was more prepared than other 2 genin because they were just normal civilians before who had never been informed much about the cruel world by their family .
loki also knew the importance of this particular ritual as almost every ninja has to go through it . he didnt have any special feeling to these new novice ninja but he didnt want them to panic during war and cause him trouble either . so he gave them a speech and emphasized the fact that they had to kill to protect their loved ones from enemies . they have to harden their hearts because each enemy ninja they spare , will definitely kill someone else's family or maybe their own in future.
to say that his speech influenced the 3 children was an understatement. at least for ren , his emotions were in a berserk state after hearing the truth about this cruel words from Loki. maybe due to his pure uchiha bloodline, images of dai and tsunade were running inside his mind automatically while somehow the enemy ninja who had nothing to do with him , looked like a blood enemy in his eyes .
still ren was saved because he had the knowledge from watching anime . he calmed down a little with great difficulty as it would be extremely bad if loki saw his sharingan right now . ren has plans to tell him some truth in future but only if loki was worthy of his trust . ren may be a novice at these kind of things but from some online games he knew the importance of keeping trump cards hidden .
ren was maintaining a poker face whole time since loki started explaining their mission here . this was actually their first D rank mission but loki didnt tell them so . he was looking forward to the reactions of these smelly brats after experiencing the discomfort after first kill which he also went through . loki was a really petty man actually which was also one of the reasons hokage had a high evaluation of him due to his strength and shamelessness .
ren knew that he had to do this . in his eyes human were human and scum were scum . so ren simply decided to note that an enemy is an enemy too and he had to kill them to survive himself . he took the sharp kunai from loki and slit the throat of enemy to grant him the quickest death he can . still ren underestimated his own mindset as an earthling and started vomiting uncontrollably on the spot ..
