Demon?

"That old man really doesn't want to give me a vacation." says Ren.

He was currently traveling through the land of earth heading for the land of hot water, he had sent a clone to talk to the Tsuchikage because he expected what happened.

Ren had traveled the whole day, and it was currently night, He had stopped to rest and eat something, and after that, he had started the training he had put off for the longest time.

Yang release, out of all the affinities Ren had this was by far the one he had trained the least, the reason was simple.

Yang release controls vitality, and when Ren had tried using it before he had felt the after effects and stopped training it until he had a greater vitality.

Sitting crossed-legged on the floor Ren focused on the training he was doing.

" Yang release, uses physical energy to control vitality to give life to things that have none, that the only information I have on yang release currently." says Ren.

" The explanation itself creates more questions than it answers, but I guess it means it both literally and figuratively, Hashirama's wood style no matter how I look at it could not be achieved without yang release if it did it would look more like what Yamato used.

The wood style he used had no vitality, it was weak and incomplete, the yang release gave the wood style vitality which made it stronger, that should be the difference between the two." says Ren.

" If that is the case adding yang release to any Jutsu should make it incredibly stronger, but wonder would it be worth the increased chakra usage?"

" I have the chakra capacity and affinities to figure it out, I'll give it a try." says Ren.

Getting up from the position he was in Ren immediately started to make some hand seals.

" Earth release: dark swamp Jutsu."

Ren slams his hand on the ground and from his position, the ground suddenly starts to become soft almost completely liquid, as the trees and stones everything is being pulled into the ground at a very slow pace.

Seeing the result Ren noted it and stopped the Jutsu, but the damage had been done.

Forming another set of hand seals Ren uses the Jutsu again.

"Earth release; dark swamp Jutsu."

Rumble!!!

This time everything was better the trees were sucked into the ground faster the range was wider, and the Jutsu was clearly more powerful.

But the chakra consumption was greater, but with the super Kage chakra reserves, Ren currently has it was bearable.

Seeing the result he wanted Ren quickly stopped supplying chakra to the Jutsu, but everything around was already gone so it made no difference, seeing this Ren quickly disappeared and continued on his way he the land of hot water.

Days passed as Ren continued with his journey, and he would continue to practice his Yang release, both individually and in conjunction with other nature affinities he had, but this wasn't the only thing he did, Ren also started trying to create different kekkei Genkai with the nature's he had, so far it hadn't made any progress but he didn't give up.

Time passed and Ren was finally in a small village in the land of hot water.

He had changed his physical appearance and was currently eating in a small shop that sold ramen.

Sitting there, Ren was actually listening to the conversations happening around him collecting information, but so far nothing of significance had come up.

No information from the other villages, or sightings of enemy ninjas.

To be honest, the mission was easy the only danger Ren expect to encounter was the clan he was trying to rope in, after all, he expect them to be a little violent at first, and to be honest the thought of having some having the power to control his blood didn't sit well with Ren but here he is.

As Ren was finished and just about to leave.

BOOM!!!

The door of the small shop was slammed open and a man rushed in.

" There's a demon coming, he killed the old chief and his family." the man hurriedly said as the fear in his voice startled the people present.

Hearing this Ren was interested in the so-called demon, he was sure it was just someone using ninjutsu, but it still caught his interest.

" We have to run!" the man shouted.

Hearing him the people present raised to their feet and walked out leaving Ren alone.

Ren was sure the people didn't completely believe this man but they still left, most likely to either see for themselves or escape if need be.

Ren sat in the shop and waited, with his newly gotten sensory capabilities from the Uzumaki bloodline he could already sense a chakra signature approaching the group of people.

(Outside the shop)

The people once outside were, arguing about what to do some wanted to avenge the old chief while others, wanted to leave and let the killer do what he wanted, instead of drawing the person's attention.

" Why should we avenge the chief he is already dead, dying with him does nothing." a woman shouted.

" The chief had helped everyone present at least once and now you people want to abandon him and not even take revenge?" a man asked clearly upset.

But no one got to answer his question as a young man appeared walking towards them slowly.
