Chapter 7 - The Perfect Opportunity

"No you can't go to the ninja academy."

Miso said in a strict tone.

"But mother "

"No means no Rei."

Miso cut off Rei before he could say anything more.

This was the first time she was strict with him. Although she had a strict face on the outside, her mind was in state of complete panic with worry.

This happened after Rei returned home and suddenly talked about going to academy. If he was normal child she might have considered allowing him to go to the academy but unfortunately he wasn't.

'Well this is troublesome.'

Rei knew why she was behaving like this, he had read about the kurama clan and the so called kekkei genkai some of the members possessed and the previous Rei was consumed by the same. But he knew he could control this kekkei genkai given some time, he had this much confidence in himself afterall he was the strongest mage of his previous world. The real trouble was getting his mother to acknowledge it.

*knock knock*

The silence between them was suddenly broken by the sound of someone knocking on the door.

"I will go open the door."

While Miso was still panicking in her heart Rei ran to open the door.

..

Miso after gaining some sense followed Rei outside to see the clan chief Mashiho Kurama and his son Murakumo coming in with Rei.

"How are you doing Miso, I just came in to check up on how our Rei was doing since i had some time on my hands."

Village chief greeted Miso with a kind smile while stating his purpose of visit.

"I am good chief and Rei is well right now thanks to our ancestors blessings."

Miso had a thankful smile as she bowed and invited the two in to take a seat.

"Please sit while I will prepare some tea for you."

"Haha no need for that Miso just take a seat."

Mashiho laughed and just beckoned her to take a seat.

"I heard that you have been visiting the clan library little Rei, that's the spirit we need from the young children of our clan." The village chief commented as he smiled at Rei.

'So he really was going to the library?' Miso had surprised look when she heard the village chief.

"Anyways i wanted to ask what Rei wanted to do in the future given that that he is born our clans genuine kekkei genkai."

'A chance.' Thought Rei and butted into the conversation before before Miso could say anything.

"I want to follow our great Kurama clan's ancestors and become a great ninja to protect our clan and my mother chief."

He stated in loud voice puffing his chest out dumbfounding everyone present making the hall go silent.

"Haha thats good good but if you have really read in the library you must know that it carries a great risk right."

The village chief laughed at his enthusiasm and spoke a inquisitive tone while Miso almost teared in happiness hearing he wanted to become a ninja to protect her.

"I am confident chief, i will make our kurama clan shine the brightest in konoha, thats why i wanted to enroll in the academy as soon as possible to learn to controll my kekkei genkai."

Rei stated in serious and confident tone.

'He seems quite confident if he is really able to what he says then the position of our clan within the village will rise quite a lot, but no one in the clan has been able to utilise the kekkei genkai to its full potential. Will he really be able to do it.'

"Haha Rei its good to be confident but confidence must be backed by skill you know."

The village chief laughed as he waited for the boys response afterall it wasn't a joke to control the kekkei genkai, he wondered how the boy will convince him.

'Just what I wanted to hear. Thank you Mashiho you made things quite easy for me.'

Rei smirked in his heart and a confident smiled bloomed on his face as he put a finger forward.

"If you give me give a chance i will show you by learning chakra control in one day."

A look of shock appeared on the face of everyone present as they had the same thought.

'Where does his confidence come from?'

After thinking for a while the village chief smiled and nodded.

"Ok i will give you the books and scrolls related to chakra control lets see what you can do boy."

Miso with a worried heart could not say anything in front of the clan chief afterall his words took the precedence over hers she could only look at Rei with a worried gaze, she had also never seen this side of Rei before it was like he was completely different person.

Rei smiled in happiness as hear the chief's words looking forward to the next day.
