The list and coming Chunin exams

"Well..."

After Ren explained what happened from start to finish to Onoki, to say Onoki was surprised would be an understatement, after all, after their talk he had sent ninjas to confirm everything Ren had said, and the report he got back matched his story.

In his office sitting by himself, Onoki was deep in his thoughts.

' Ren keeps surprising me, creating a forbidden Jutsu with that level of power at his age is outstanding, with his talent and attitude he will make it far and become something feared in the shinobi world, all he needs to do is stay loyal to the village, but on to different topics He will come looking for me today Four weeks has passed and he is fully healed and even when on some bandit extermination mission to make sure he was a hundred percent now it time to move to the other member on the list Bane was merely a starting point for what I want him to accomplish.'

Ren POV

Ren was currently sitting on his training grounds as two of his clones fought each other while he sat there thinking about the past few weeks.

'The fight with Bane turned out to be a great waste of time, I didn't even get to absorb his chakra or anything seeing as his body was completely destroyed, I got more injured in that fight than I planned for and was at anyone mercy for far too long afterward, I need to get stronger faster I won't be I that situation again that's for sure, now let's see what Onoki wants.'

Ren stands up and disappears.

In the Tsuchikage's office, you could see Onoki sitting behind his desk looking at Ren seriously.

"Ren, now you have dealt with Bane their are more people in the other villages that could grow to become even bigger threats than him, I've comprised a list with all these people on it, from now on you will actively hunt these people down and eliminate them before they become too big a problem for this village, as you have already figured out you will do this as unnoticeable as possible it's best no village learns that this is the hidden stone doing until it's too late or a war has already started, are you up for this task?"

"Lord third, I must ask if I am discovered I some way doing these mission will the hidden stone village stand behind me or will I be labeled a missing-nin who was acting on his own?"

Hearing Ren's question Onoki really didn't know how to answer as he felt lying would do more bad than good in the long run and he just felt like Ren already knew the answer and was just testing him.

"Ren I won't lie to you right now you are of high value to the village but not enough for us to go to war, if you found out you will be thrown away, that is unless you manage to raise your value even more before that happens. if you could somehow make yourself something this village really needs then I promise you we will go to war if you are found out."

Ren already knew this was the real answer, but he wanted to know if Onoki would really tell him the truth.

"Now, Ren you can think about your answer but for now there is something happening soon that you will be a part of and that is the chunin exams, in the next week the chunin exam will start and you will participate, it will only be a one on one battles where I will evaluate the participants and promote who I feel are ready, you are already a chunin in all but name so you will participate and I will promote you.

"Alright, so let me see the list."

"You want to see it? does that mean you accept?"

"Not yet I just want to see who I'll have to kill before accepting."

"Fine."

Onoki then takes a scroll from his desk and unfurled it to display its contents, it had names on it and which village these people belonged to, of course, Konoha had the most names and he recognized some of them.

"Alright, this list isn't that long it would take a few years to do this if we didn't want to draw too much attention but I assume you want it done quickly so just tell me how long do I have to finish this," said Ren dropping all formalities.

"Ideally I want it done in two years the most you can move from village to village or mix it up I don't care as long as it has been done in two years' time."

"Alright, I've decided to....."
