Influencing the youths 3

" How do you know which clan I'm from?" asked Renji.

"...."

Ren looked shocked by the question but quickly hide it.

" Kid you used the dojutsu of the Chinoike clan when you killed those villagers, even if your clan is declining there are still people who remember them." says Ren.

" And those eyes is how your enemies would have found out which clan you're from and killed them." says Ren

"Oh."

' Did he really not realize this earlier?' Ren thinks to himself.

" You really need to think before you do things in the future." Ren said watching Renji.

Listening to what Ren said Renji stood silently, thinking about the things he had done so far.

" You haven't thought your actions through, acting on impulse is very foolish in the world of ninjas." says Ren.

The campsite fell silent, Ren left Renji to his thoughts as he continues looking at the night sky, relaxing before day broke and he had to head off to the Chinoike clan.

' Tomorrow, is sure to be one stressful day, facing off against a clan of ninjas in which some have the ability to control my blood, Once the leader of the clan is one of those who want revenge and not one of the clan members that want to live in peace this negotiation will be very easy.' thinks Ren as he stares into the night sky.

' The actions I am about to do, will take a currently peaceful clan, and push them into the coming war, the clan will surely lose some members after all its war, children will die, families will be broken and orphans created, but it's for the best of the hidden stone.' thinks Ren.

' The future of the Chinoike has changed already, if it's for the better or worse will depend on how the negotiations go tomorrow after all if they aren't with the hidden stone, they have no reason to still exist.' thinks Ren as his eyes shined.

Renji who was still deep in his thoughts had no idea that his future life or death had yet to be decided.

As these thoughts passed through Ren's mind Renji on the other hand, was still thinking of his actions and how to get revenge on those he felt had wronged his clan.

And he had gotten nowhere on the topic, to his defense even though he had the mind to kill he was still a child, and couldn't think out a proper plan.

Realizing that he wasn't getting anywhere thinking about it on his own Renji turned to the only other person present Ren.

" If you were me what would you do in my situation to get revenge?" asked Renji.

And with that question, everything was in place.

Renji wouldn't normally have asked Ren for his advice, but since Ren saved him from the villagers, Ren didn't kill him, and Ren agreed with his thoughts of revenge but showed him the problems with the way he went about it.

Renji already changed the way he saw Ren from an enemy.

His current thoughts were ' it wouldn't hurt to hear what he has to say.'

But little did he know this was exactly what Ren wanted, all Ren needed was for Renji to change his view of him from a complete enemy to anything else, and it would be an opening that Ren could use.

Hearing the question Ren's eyes brightened.

' This is it, one chance I'll get it right.' thinks Ren

" In fact, the answer to that question is simple, since no clan has the power to go against one of the great villages by itself, the only solution would be to join one of the other villages that are enemies with the village you want to go against.

Now since the Chinoike clan enemies are the village hidden in the cloud and the Uchiha clan which resides in Konoha, those two villages are out.

Out of the remaining three, the only real choice would be the hidden stone.

The sand is too weak to provide revenge and the village hidden in the mist is stronger than the sand but doesn't have much hatred for the hidden cloud which is the main target of revenge.

The stone, on the other hand, has the strength and the current Tsuchikage hates the current Raikage and will jump at any chance to deal heavy damage to the cloud." says Ren.

" So how do I join the hidden Stone then?" asked Renji immediately after Ren finished speaking.

" You can't join one of the great villages that easily, if you just turned up there you would most likely be captured because they thought you were a spy, the only way is to have someone high ranking recommend you." says Ren.

" Someone high ranking? How am I to meet someone like that?" asked Renji.

" Actually you're lucky, it will be easy this time, I heard there is a very powerful shinobi from the hidden stone heading towards the valley of death to ask the clan that lives there to join the hidden stone." says Ren.
