I hope they don't make the right choice

" Why does the village hidden in the Stone want the Chinoike clan to join them?" asked Renji.

" What other reason could there, besides power, even though currently the Chinoike clan is in decline, it has the potential to become one of the most powerful clans in any of the five great villages, and that's what the hidden stone intends to do, help the Chinoike clan become as powerful as possible, and in exchange, the clan is loyal to the village." says Ren.

" Great offer isn't it?" asked Ren

" I think so." Renji answered.

" Well think it over." says Ren as he closes his eyes.

Renji seeing this also settles down and takes a seat around the fire, as his thoughts consume him.

( Couple of hours later)

WHOOSH!!!!

WHOOSH!!!!

In the forest, a young boy could be seen running quickly, with a serious expression on his face.

This was obviously Renji, he had escaped from Ren at night and proceeded to make his journey back to the valley of hell hoping to find the high-ranking shinobi Ren spoke of.

But did a child really escape from Ren?

Of course not, every move he made to leave the campsite was under Ren's watch and even now Ren is following him from a good distance.

" This kid even with all the information I gave him last night and the things I said, he still didn't think for one moment that I'm the high ranking shinobi?" Ren questioned himself for the twentieth time.

' When I told him that last night I expected him to have figured it out or at least have a feeling, but there was nothing, the information I gave him was enough for him to get to that conclusion so why didn't he.' thinks Ren.

" Anyway it doesn't matter now if they join I'll just have to train his thinking, and this outcome works out as well, he is sure to help persuade the member to join the hidden stone." says Ren.

And Ren was right, after a long night of thinking by himself Renii had already decided to join the hidden stone even if the clan didn't, of course, what he didn't know was that it was a package deal.

Either the clan joins, or they all die, Ren wouldn't try recruiting him after killing off his clan unless he could do it with the boy knowing, otherwise he would die.

The only way the Chinoike clan will survive if they refuse to join is if there are babies then Ren will bring them back to the village and the Clan can live through them.

As Ren Followed behind Renji he knew there was still a long way to go, so he was thinking of the possible situations that could happen.

Truth be told there were many things Ren could see happening but the two most likely were:

First, because the clan is divided between those who want revenge and those who want to live in peace, Ren could see the half that wants revenge joining the hidden stone, while the latter half stays in the valley of hell.

Now if this were to happen Ren would accept them, and pretend to be fine with the peaceful side staying in the valley of hell, but when he would leave with those who had joined him, Ren would come back and kill the ones who stayed behind.

It would seem cruel and unnecessary but, Ren didn't see it that way, he saw the what-if scenario that could happen, from them joining another village to them going against the hidden stone for some reason, and although there was nothing to point to this, Ren would rather there not be a possibility of it happening at all, and to do that they would need to disappear.

To be honest, Ren really wanted this option to be the one to happen over the second, as the clan already had low numbers, he could exactly kill some just to absorb their bloodline if the whole clan joined the stone village.

The second Option was less likely to happen but there was still a chance, this route was if the whole clan agreed to join the hidden stone, but the peace faction would not engage in any warfare, and because it was one clan the faction that wanted revenge would become the ninjas of the clan, while the others would basically become civilians, and enjoyed peace and the hidden stone wouldn't have a problem with that, and it would smart and the right choice to make.

But Ren really hoped they wouldn't make the right choice, after all he couldn't just twenty odd ninjas of the clan to get their chakra and bloodline when most like that would be a huge number to this declining clan.

And would therefore provide less fight power for the hidden stone.

"Well even though it the right choice people tend to be stupid let's hope this clan is to, but not to much or that could become a problem." says Ren as he continues to follow Renji.
