" hokage sama I think that there is some truth in ren's logic . we have planned to deploy sakumo hatake as defence commander at sand borders and I think it will not affect the war situation with stone village much at early stages if we assign tsunade to sand village as second in command . she will be able to make antidotes to the poins of chiyo quickly so there will be minimal deaths if we are really ambushed. " uncle nara ( dont remember the exact name of shikamaru's grandpa so let's go with this. simple is best after all ) supported ren's plan with adding his own thoughts and hokage went into deep thought.
honestly ren was planning to bullshit something so that he can convince old man hokage to assign tsunade at sand borders so uncle nara received a thumbs up from ren openly . well the reason was exactly nara explained that tsunade will be able to focus on medical stuff . so she will participate in battles less which means less danger . ren knew that tsunade will be annoyed after hearing the orders but it was for the best .
after defeating tsunade, ren has been together with her for almost a month now ( couple ) . well she was clearly not comfortable at first . she told ren that he would have to get approval of nawaki senju of their relationship as he was her only remaining family member now after mito passed away . well ren wasn't against this as he actually liked nawaki a lot because he was similar to naruto but some more intelligent . nawaki agreed to their relationship easily which surprised tsunade as she could not believe that her 10 year old brother didnt even argue once . hehe.. actually ren has been taking care of nawaki since almost a year ago now . well nothing much as he just taught him basic chakra control and some useful combat techniques like basic sword techniques and basic taijutsu. to be honest nawaki wasn't much talented expect he had high chunin level chakra reserves already at the age of 10 . damn bloodline benefits.. nawaki long knew about the fact that ren was in love with his sister as ren had told him straight after first rejection by tsunade. as expected of a 10 year old , he actually didnt even think about stuff like age difference etc and agreed instantly simply because he liked ren and called him big brother already . before coming in the meeting ren knew that he will immediately leave the village after that so he had sealed a shadow clone inside nawaki . well ren casually invented this simple seal using the principle from tailed beast sealing techniques. with this ren could at least be at ease till he comes back . old man hokage was useful as he was constantly rejecting nawaki's request for early graduation . well he may think of something like senju clan heir or whatever but ren was only worried about his family. there was no action ( kiss or sex ) with tsunade yet as she was actually avoiding ren while blushing a little. she looked to beautiful and ren didnt mind slow progress either . honestly this world was godly as clan marriages regularly happened at young age of 12 or 13 which would be of course illegal on earth . now ren urgently needed fame so that there are less objections for their marriage in future and this war was the best event to take advantage of .
everyone knew that it was no time to leisurely expand their social influence so they quickly dispersed after hokage declared the meeting ended . only was asked to remain as hokage had some business with him .
" old man , what do you want? I'm telling you that I only have little stock of explosive tags left so dont even think about them ."
" cough .. not that . I just want you to pick some fresh genin to form a team . it was decided by elder council to test your leadership and teaching capabilities as a jonin of leaf village... I didnt have any choice but to accept these conditions.."
" it's okay as long as you dont push some troublesome tasks on me anyway. so I will have to take care of some brats now .."
" well you are also a brat !!"
" hmm.. you said something old man ? "
" no nothing ..."
" is that so .. look , can I choose genin by myself ? "
" of course you can do that . you are just required to train 4 fresh genins for a while till they become capable enough to protect themselves.."
" hmm.. okay then. I choose minato namikaze , choza akimichi , shikaku nara and inoichi yamanaka "
" well all of them are good seedlings . I planned to let jiraya to take care of minato but for now you can have him . okay then , you depart tomorrow morning and your 4 new subordinates will meet you at village gates at the same time . i will personally be there to see you off .."
' holy shit !! this old man is really too easy today . this is really suspicious. hmm.. from his expression I can see relief but why ? he is practically asking me to train future jonin of village and I dont think he trusts my abilities so much yet .. well forget it as it's useless to think much about this shitty old man. hehe.. I can finally enjoy tormenting these brats . I thought that it would be years in future when I get the chance but luck is with me .'
" thank you old man !! you can contact me anytime with that bird summon if you need help somewhere . haha.. let's meet tomorrow then bye ..."
when ren was finally gone , hokage finally let out a long sigh of relief . ' with this minato will be out of reach of danzo . fuuuu.. that old friend of mine is planning something behind my back but I dont have the time to keep an eye on his movements . I wont let him take minato as i can sense burning will of fire in him . ren chan is also a good boy who doesn't have interest in politics and with his strenght protecting the kids will be easy . i just hope that my choice is right .. I'm too old for this shit !!! i guess it's time to pass my mantle to the future generation now ...'
