Going to Kumo took me by surprise really it was extremely clear that this version of Naruto i was in was altered in really unexpected ways. Saving Sakumo was of course a part of the plan however i couldn't be blamed if I did a little bit of training on the way right? Well it would take me quite a while to reach Kumo anyways so taking advantage of the time was a given.
I had already prepared completely for the trip and was at the front of the gates to depart, unfortunately no one came to see me off and if to be honest it felt a little sad knowing that in this world I had no family except for Kushina who herself wasn't my blood relative.
Perhaps it was for the best, after all I'll be running all over the place for the foreseeable future to make sure everything goes as it is supposed to with a bit of heroism on the side, who could say no to getting their lives saved by a handsome Uzumaki such as myself.
~Later~
From what It will take roughly 3 days before I can get to Kumo at my speed, yay Uzumaki stamina. This was the perfect time to try out certain things I can remember from other anime, for example and my personal way of fighting besides swords, Re-Taekwondo. Yup, i'm going to channel my inner Jin Mori and learn how to use Re-taekwondo as a form of taijutsu for this world.
---------------------------------------
I had been on the road for hours now and it was night time, the perfect time to try and replicate the Re-Taekwondo moves in an attempt to master them. I may be a genius but for certain things like this that this body has never experienced it will take some time to really learn after all even Jin Mori who was also a genius in his own right took ages before mastering the moves himself.
Learning Tsunade's chakra enhancement was going to be very useful later for this but for now I will make do. Standing up from my campfire in this forest I made my way over to a tree and tapped it before giving it a light punch, this would make sure it was sturdy enough to at least handle regular kicks, then I took a stance.
First and foremost it was important to learn basically the foremost technique that Jin Mori used, Hwechook. The third stance Hwechook would be the best to learn but it all begins from the basics and a singular Hwechook would be better for now.
~3rd person pov~
With his Eidetic memory Ren was able to remember essentially anything he wanted from his past life, so remembering something like the Hwechook was certainly easy. He could certainly do the same thing for other stuff like Jutsu's however learning things from scratch and trying to go based off of memory were two different things, that is is why he wanted to train up re-taekwondo.
According to his memory a Hwechook is executed by rapidly spinning on a central point, this in turn generates force for when the user hits the opponent with the ball/front of their feet. This move is essentially the same as a round house kick however the points in which they use to attack being different, the Hwechook is done by using the ball of the foot or the front.
Ren trained nonstop through the night, executing as many Hwechooks over and over again to root out the flaws in his technique using the memories from Jin Mo-Ri, during his 3 day trip rarely did he sleep more than 4 hours, just like in his past life and even more now with the body of an uzumaki he can easily go off of 4 hours of sleep to make sure he gets to Kumo fast while also putting in as much work into Re-taekwondo.
~Kumogakure entrance~
From the info I had gotten it seems that Sakumo is somewhere in Kumo and the Raikage is aware of a spy. Sakumo you got me in a really tight spot here.
Sigh
Time to do this Achilles style
With a very weak and slow Shunshin I appear in front of two guards standing in front of the Kumo gates.
"WHITE FANG!"
One good scream enhanced by chakra, that scream should be loud enough to make its way throughout the entirety of Kumo and I hope from the bottom of my heart that Sakumo hears this otherwise it is going to get even more messy here than it was supposed to be.
"State your name and business intruder!" Guard 1 walked slowly towards Rengoku
"Aiya~ my name is Ren I apologize for screaming but I'm looking for a friend" Ren smiled and rubbed the back of his head in fake embarrassment.
"We're going to need you to come with us, don't make this harder than it has to be" Guard 2 said reaching for his kunai pouch.
"Yes guard officer sir!" Ren got on his knees and put his hands into the air with a serious look on his face.
Both guards looked at each other and continued to approach with caution, one from each side of Ren. As the two slowly approached before coming into complete contact with Ren they pounced on him as if he were prey, however it wasn't going to go down like they expected.
With his elbows, Ren rammed them into the stomach of his attackers in a certain way that caused shocks to go throughout their bodies, this move is called Arang and it is part of the basic move set of Re-Taekwondo.
"Sorry mr.guard sirs but I really need to get to my friend" Ren gave out a sigh as he looked at the guards who were on the ground coughing up blood every few seconds, 'must be from the shocks Arang causes' he said to himself.
"WHITE FANG!"
Another yell escaped his throat as he now made his way through the gates of Konoha.
~Somewhere in Kumo~
"WHITE FANG!"
huh?
Has my location been compromised? but Kumo should have no idea that me and my squad have infiltrated them. Reinforcements perhaps? but what type of reinforcements goes around yelling the name of the person infiltrating, that is the dumbest thing a ninja could do.
Regardless, I'll have to go and meet up with these reinforcements it would make no sense for Konoha to send reinforcements that are so.... loud if it were not necessary.
~Back to Ren~
Achoo~
"Someone must be talking bad about me, but who?" Ren frowned and continued his walk until he was unfortunately interrupted.
Suddenly Ren's senses flared and warned him causing him to jump back and nimbly dodge a hand entirely covered with flowing lightning.
"You know in my hometown that isn't how you would greet a guest" Ren smiled and looked at his attacker who he had discovered to be an Anbu by the mask the person was wearing.
Before he could say another word 10 more Anbu followed suite and jumped out to meet Ren head on.
"I guess... its time to dance!"
