"I'm happy now. I found a purpose in my life now. Thank you, thank you so much, Naruto-kun" said Kazehana and hugged Naruto, tears falling from her eyes.
"Well, if you want a family, you got one. Listen, after your school year ends, you can move in with us to this house. We have a lot of rooms you know" said Naruto.
"Really, can I do that?" She asked in joy.
"Of course, dear. You can" said Naruto. His smile widened looking at the joyous expression of Kazehana.
"Reni-chan, prepare this room for Kana-chan. She seems to like it"
"Of course, Naruto-kun"
"Now, I want to discuss our strategy in school," said Naruto. The mood shifted to seriousness in one second.
"Kana, do anyone else know about you or your clan?" Asked Naruto.
"Well, I used to be a member of the Student Council until last year. After Souna came, we are removed and new members are added. No one knows about my clan in our school"
"Ok, does your clan have any disputes with any factions?" Asked Naruto.
"Um, I don't know," she said with a lost expression.
"I guess we'll deal it with when they come"
"Ok, we'll act normal in school. You go to school, come to our club room and we do our regular activities. But the change comes after that. You come here after club and we'll train you in secret" said Naruto with a smile.
"What? Train? Train for what?" Asked Kazehana.
"Train to be better. I want you to be ready for anything" said Naruto with a stern look.
"I am a wind user as well. So I can teach you how to use it. And there are good exercises I have for your strength improvement as well" said Naruto with a smile. That smile sent chills through Kazehana's spine.
'Why do I feel as if I stepped into a Heaven looking Hell' she thought in her mind. But it was too late to withdraw now.
After fixing few things, Kazehana went to her home to get ready for school.
"She doesn't feel comfortable at all" pointed out Reni.
"I know. That's why I'm taking it slow. Everyone can't be as adaptable as you, Reni dear" said Naruto with a smile.
"Yes, I know that," said Reni with her chest puffing out in pride.
"Why her though? Don't you think you wasted a Rook piece there"
"I can understand what you are talking about. Why to waste a strong piece as Rook on someone weak in Supernatural standards" said Naruto and Reni nodded her head in agreement.
"Tell me, what happens when you train a strong person?"
"They become even more stronger" replied Reni. Her mind started to connect the dots.
"Yes, but their pride will increase to insurmountable levels and that may cause chaos. But when you train a weak person to become strong, even if they become strong, they know the feeling of being weak and they strive to help others instead of picking on weak" said Naruto.
"That is true. I forgot that I came from that stage myself" said Reni.
"Yes, but in your case, you have a Longinus, in Kana's case, she has the blessing of Fūjin," said Naruto.
"Blessing, isn't it like an equivalent to Sacred Gear?" Asked Reni.
"You can compare. But the blessing is more powerful than Sacred Gears. As Sacred Gears are run by God's miracle system, while Blessings are given to certain individuals by the concerned Deity. She doesn't know about it yet. I'm going to pull that potential out of her" said Naruto with maniacal glee.
'You never cease to amaze me, Naruto-kun. To see through hidden things like a blessing is not an easy thing to accomplish. So, she is not weak after all' thought Reni.
'Come to think of it, she didn't use her wind when she fought me. I wonder what happens if she uses that' thought Reni.
Scene Break
After School, Ninja Club Building
"That's it for today, you guys. You did well. Keep practising and I'll teach you more katas next week" said Naruto.
"Hai, Taichou," said all the girls. He was training them in Kenjutsu and 1 girl, in particular, has a good grasp of it than others. He is not going to let these girls be one-trick ponies like how he used to be in his youth before the 4th Great Shinobi War.
'Now I sound like a reminiscing old man' thought Naruto.
"Ara, ara. What a fierce style" came a female voice. All of them turned to see Akeno Himejima, Occult Research Club Vice President standing at the entrance of the Club.
"What are you doing here, Akeno?" Asked Naruto. He sensed her coming. That doesn't mean he is not curious why she is here.
"President wants to talk to you about our schedule on Sunday," she said with a smile.
"Ah, yes. I forgot about it. Thank you, Akeno. I'll be there in a few minutes" said Naruto, rubbing the back of his sheepishly. The girls behind him giggled in joy saying 'handsome' and 'hot'.
Akeno's eyebrow twitched at that, but she didn't respond. If only she was given free rein over these…, she is going to show them why they should fear to say those words in her presence.
Naruto expected her to leave but she stayed put, staring at the other girls who were giggling at his gesture. It is common for him after all.
"Reni-chan, continue their practice. I'll be going" whispered Naruto and went with Akeno.
"Ara, ara. You have a good fan club there" she said with a giggle.
"Yes. They admire me so much, sometimes it becomes a hassle to manage them"
"Ufufufufu. It's good, isn't it?" She asked with a smile.
