Chapter 144: Chaoter 141: Farewells
Renjiro looked at his students and said, "Come, let's go out to eat."
His students followed him.
Mieko asked, "Which restaurants are open at this time of the day, Sensei?"
Renjiro replied, "The Ramen shop should be open. Follow quickly. It's my treat."This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
He flickered. His students immediately began the race. They arrived at the shop and ordered their ramen.
Renjiro asked, "What have you planned for the future?"
Mieko replied, "I will join the Konoha Police force."
Hoka said, "My father will arrange for me to join a squad. So I will be doing more missions."
Fujin answered, "I am not sure. I haven't thought about it. I guess I will spend some time mastering the Wind Vacuum Technique."
Renjiro thought and said, "Mieko, I know all Uchiha join the police force. However, there aren't many opportunities to fight in the Police force. I would recommend you to go on a few missions. It will provide you with more experience that will be helpful in becoming a jounin."
Mieko nodded and said, "Yes Sensei. If the police force isn't a challenge, then I'll take difficult missions as well."
Renjiro smiled. He looked at Hoka and said, "Hoka, don't forget to train ninjutsu as well."
Hoka nodded and said with reluctance, "Yes Sensei."
Renjiro looked at Fujin and said, "Fujin, training is good. But don't forget to do missions as well. In a battlefield, your skills will grow at a much faster pace than in a training field."
Fujin nodded and said, "Yes Sensei."
Teuchi served ramen. They began eating. While eating, Renjiro said, "Chunin is an important phase. Your leadership skills will be developed at this rank. And you will be able to undertake a variety of missions and cooperate with a large number of fellow chunins.
When undertaking missions, do a few missions with chunins you have never worked with. It will help you understand the skills of a lot more ninjas. And you could also find techniques or jutsus that suit you perfectly. So keep your mind open and observe everyone properly."
He took a pause and said with a serious tone, "Of course, the most important thing is that you take care of your life. Don't take unnecessary risks and complete the missions in the most efficient ways. Don't try to get interesting fights when you can finish your enemy off with lesser efforts."
All three nodded seriously. Until now, they could play around as they had Renjiro looking after their backs. But that won't be the case anymore.
Renjiro said, "There is another thing that I want you to know. Fujin, do you recall our conversation about Kekkei Genkai?"
Fujin thought for a bit and said, "Yes Sensei."
Mieko asked, "What did you discuss?"
Renjiro replied, "We didn't discuss much."
He looked at Fujin and said, "Last time, I didn't tell you some details as you were still training. The truth is, that other than inheriting a Kekkei Genkai from a bloodline, you can also create a Kekkei Genkai by fusing two natures."
Mieko nodded and said, "Yes. Even my parents were very respectful of him."
The trio looked at each other.
Fujin said, "I guess it means that we won't see each other often either."
Hoka and Mieko nodded.
Hoka said, "Well, we could take missions together once in a while."
Mieko nodded, "Yes, that will be fun."
She looked at Hoka and smirked, "Maybe you would learn something that could help you join my and Fujin's combo attack."
Hoka's shoulders dropped. Though he had developed a lot of combination jutsus with Fujin and Mieko, none came close to Fujin and Mieko's wind and fire combination.
Fujin said, "I heard that Jiraiya of the Sannins uses Oil jutsu to strengthen his Fire jutsus. I am not sure if that is a part of Water Release. But if it is, then you can check that. That way both oil and wind would amplify Mieko's fire jutsu."
Both Hoka and Mieko were surprised by the suggestion. Hoka said, "I had never thought of Oil."
Mieko said, "Me neither. Fire, Wind and Oil combination seems very strong. Great idea Fujin."
Hoka asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?"
Fujin shrugged and answered, "I just had that thought. Besides, did you really want to learn more ninjutsu while our training was on?"
Hoka immediately became embarrassed. He replied, "Sorry, good point."
The three exchanged glances. They didn't have any more words. Hoka said, "Let's leave guys. Good luck. Next time we meet, let's have a Battle Royale again!"
Hoka and Mieko grinned.
Fujin replied, "Sure. Hopefully the next time you two will last longer."
Fujin began laughing.
Mieko and Hoka angrily looked at Fujin, but he had flickered away. Only his laugh could still be heard.
Mieko said, "That jerk is still as annoying as ever!"
Hoka sighed and said, "Yes. He was so quiet in the academy. I didn't think he'd have this side as well."
Mieko said, "Anyways, see you later Hoka."
Hoka nodded and replied, "See you as well."
They both left towards their home.
Team Renjiro, which was assembled a year ago and completed 7 rank D, 41 rank C and 3 rank A missions, was finally disbanded!
