It's not that I won't let him in."
Minato put down his pen and comforted Ren, who was silent.
"Hidan is still too young for Anbu at his age. If he trains for two more years, there shouldn't be any problem."
"I know, Minato."
Ren came back to his senses and shook his head.
"I was too hasty. He really shouldn't be involved with Anbu right now. I already know how to teach him next."
After speaking, Ren climbed out the window and waved to Minato.
"Then I'll be going, Minato-ni."
After speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Hidan, nodding.
"Let's go,Hidan."
"Oh."
Hidan finally reacted, walked to the window, hesitated for a moment, and then climbed out. Minato, behind him, sighed softly, a look of helplessness on his face.
At this moment, Ren was rushing across the rooftops with Hidan, the cool autumn wind whistling past their ears.
"Brother Ren, where are we going?"
Hidan leaped past a telephone pole, then turned to look at Ren beside him, asking.
"Where are we going?"
Ren glanced at Hidan, then a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he chuckled.
"To find you a teacher?"
Huh?
Hearing this, Hidan was first startled, then a look of curiosity appeared on his face.
"A teacher, is he very strong?"
In Hidan's opinion, whether it was joining Anbu or becoming a disciple, as long as he could become stronger, he would do it.
"More than just strong."
Ren struck a punching pose in mid-air and said seriously.
"The strongest taijutsu user in Konoha. You know about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, right? I was providing support, and that person killed three of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist with his bare hands on the spot. I only killed one, and the rest fled in disarray."
"So… so strong."
At this moment, Hidan was stunned. In his impression, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Hidden Mist Village were all taijutsu masters. It was said that they could conquer a small country overnight if they joined forces.
Seven such masters, teaming up to fight fewer opponents, yet three were killed. In Hidan's opinion, only the Kage could do that, right?
Thinking of this, Hidan's eyes immediately lit up. If he could learn taijutsu from such a person, he would definitely become very strong too!
But when Hidan calmed down, he suddenly became worried. He turned to look at Ren and said with some concern.
"Brother Ren, will that teacher accept me?"
Hidan was very worried now. What if such a master was unwilling to teach him?
"Uh…"
Ren's mouth twitched twice. He quietly wiped away non-existent sweat from his forehead and chuckled awkwardly.
"Don't worry, he will definitely be willing to teach you."
After speaking, Ren turned his head to the side and mumbled.
"I'm just afraid you won't be willing to learn…"
"Great!"
Hidan didn't hear the latter half of Ren's sentence at all. At this moment, he was immersed in the fantasy of himself working hard to become stronger under the teacher's training.
Punching Ren, kicking the Hokage, speaking a word in Konoha Village, and no one daring to breathe, until Ren spoke, which brought him back to reality.
"What are you doing?!"
Ren, who had stopped on the rooftop, looked at Hidan, who was still moving forward, and shouted, which made the other stop.
After looking around, he finally noticed Ren, then quickly changed direction, and with a few leaps, he stood beside him, scratching his head.
"Brother Ren, aren't we going to find my teacher?"
"Yes."
Ren raised his hand and pointed downwards, smiling.
"He's right below."
Hidan subconsciously followed his gaze downwards, and then he saw a guy in a green jumpsuit walking on his hands on the wide road. At the first glance of the person, he immediately shifted his gaze and began to scan the pedestrians walking back and forth on this street.
But what puzzled him was that he looked three times back and forth, and didn't see anyone who looked like a master. Nine out of ten were wearing civilian clothes, and the remaining few wearing Ninja headbands didn't look much stronger than himself.
"Where's the teacher, Brother Ren?"
Seeing Hidan's confused face, a smile appeared in Ren's eyes. He turned and jumped off the rooftop, his voice following.
"Follow me."
Confused, Hidan followed Ren through a few shifts and arrived at the street below, where they immediately encountered the guy in the green jumpsuit he had just seen, walking on his hands towards them.
Hidan instinctively wanted to dodge, then he saw Ren take a step forward, bow, and respectfully say.
"Uncle Dai."
"Eh?!"
Seeing this scene, Hidan was immediately stunned in place, his pupils slightly dilated, staring blankly at the two.
This is… the taijutsu master who single-handedly suppressed the Ninja Swordsmen and killed them?!
And just as Hidan was in a daze, Dai, who heard his name, looked up. Seeing that it was Ren, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face, and then he flipped up, happily raised his hand, and greeted Ren.
"Ah, hello, Ren!"
Seeing that familiar flash of light, Ren's smile did not diminish, and he straightened up while greeting.
"It looks like you've been doing well lately, Uncle Dai."
Dai laughed loudly and pointed his thumb at himself.
"Hahaha, this is all the result of youth and effort!"
Since the last time he fought the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist with Ren, Ren had no intention of claiming those three heads, and he explained that he had only killed Suikazan Fuguki.
And this battle, Dai's record of three kills, directly shocked the people of Konoha. No one expected that a Genin who had been bullied and looked down upon for decades could actually kill the terrifying Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.
At that time, when there were still some doubts in the Konoha Camp, with the Village's Hiruzen Sarutobi's order to exceptionally promote Might Duy to Special Jonin, and with Dai's subsequent several moves, his strength was completely proven, and all doubts immediately vanished.
After the war, Dai, who returned to the Village with the main force, was no longer the perennial Genin who was casually ordered around, but a powerful, respected Special Jonin.
The change in status also brought about a qualitative change in the lives of Dai and Might Guy, father and son.
They were no longer the hot-blooded, idiotic father and son who were ridiculed by everyone on the street, but would be greeted with smiles and encouraged. Of course, the two would not relax because of this.
Might Guy constantly pulled his companions to accept missions at the mission hall to hone and improve his combat abilities.
Dai was similar to his son. Every day, besides completing missions, he was either in daily training, with his time clearly and orderly arranged.
"Perfect, I have something to ask you."
Ren pulled Hidan beside him to the front and grinned.
"I found you a student."
