Shadows, Training, and the Weight of Greed

Even though I don't know much about Pokémon yet, I know how helpful Pokémon are to ninjas. Once these creatures are spread out, ninjas will definitely fight for them. After all, with this thing, the chance of survival will be much greater. Otherwise, the summoned beasts of the three holy places would not be sought after by so many people. Isn't it because they are powerful and can increase the chance of survival?

And Pokémon are more suitable than the summoned beasts of the three holy places, and they can even be summoned to help fight without chakra. If more Pokémon are sent in the future, even if they are high-level officials of Konoha, it will be basically impossible to move Renji Takahashi.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent when he heard this, and the anger on his face was suppressed: "No, Renji is not someone we can deal with now, Danzo. You'd better give up these thoughts, otherwise Konoha will be destroyed because of you."

Danzo was stunned for a moment, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen with some confusion. He couldn't understand why he still disagreed after saying so.

Suddenly, Danzo's eyes became serious: "Does Renji really have a Kage-level Pokémon?" Besides this, he couldn't think of anything else that would stop Sarutobi Hiruzen from taking action.

No one in this world knows Sarutobi Hiruzen better than him. He looks like a kind old man, but that's fake. Sarutobi Hiruzen has been the Hokage for so long—he is not a simple character.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't answer, and looked at Danzo again: "Okay, I won't say much. If you take action against Renji again, I won't care about anything that happens."

After saying that, he didn't stay any longer and turned around, leaving.

Watching Sarutobi Hiruzen leave, Danzo frowned tightly and looked at the Anbu ninja next to him: "What's going on?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen just said this. It's obvious something happened, and he didn't know it yet.

"Master Danzo, the people sent out are all injured—and very seriously. It may take several months to recover."

"Why did you tell me now?" Danzo stood up and looked at the Anbu ninja in front of him with angry eyes.

The Anbu ninja's eyes trembled and he immediately knelt on the ground: "Master Danzo, we just got the news."

"Hmph." Suppressing the anger in his heart, Danzo waved his hand.

The Anbu ninja on the opposite side also left quickly when he saw this.

"I'll find time to go and see it myself."

For Renji's Pokémon, he just wanted to control them with his own hands. After finishing the conversation with Sarutobi Hiruzen, this idea in his heart became even stronger.

"If I control these Pokémon, the Hokage will definitely be mine. I can even control the entire ninja world."

Muttering to himself with greedy eyes, he showed no fear.

As time passed, the moon slowly fell, and the sun emerged little by little. The black night seemed to have touched the ice of fire and quickly dissipated in the air.

Inside the Pokémon House, the backyard was very lively at this time. The Pokémon were chirping and eating energy cubes, as if they were happy for the rising of the sun.

"Okay, don't grab them. I still have some here."Renji looked at these Pokémon speechlessly.

After saying that, he looked at the Dragonite and Espeon next to him."Dragonite, you can go to B for training later. And Espeon, you too."

Looking in the direction Renji pointed, Dragonite nodded with a bright look in its eyes after seeing the exercise equipment.

On the other hand, Espeon shook its head repeatedly after hearing Renji's words:"Espi-Espi—"

"Resistance is useless. You've never trained before. Dragonite knows all this very well. You must train with it first."

When Dragonite was summoned, it was already level 90. It had a lot of experience in training. It was very easy to teach Espeon, a newbie who had just been born.

Originally, Renji had to do this kind of task himself, but he had no experience in arranging training. He could only teach Dragonite what he needed directly, and focus on developing and exercising his own mental power.

"Espi-Espi—"Hearing Renji's rejection of its plea, Espeon nodded with a bitter face.

Renji ignored Espeon and started eating his breakfast directly.

Soon, breakfast time passed, and Renji and the Pokémon were busy with their own things. After spending a day together yesterday, the Pokémon to be entrusted had become more familiar with each other. After eating energy cubes, they went out to play in groups.

This was something Espeon felt very envious of.

Then, with that envious expression still on its face, it was dragged away by Dragonite toward the place where the exercise equipment was.

Renji looked around and didn't make any more arrangements. He found a place to sit cross-legged in the Pokémon battle field and started his own training.

"Yesterday's battle has made my problems very clear. From today on, I will study these aspects carefully."

Muttering to himself, Renji's mental power burst out, and the surrounding stones floated up.

However, if you looked closely, you could see that the mental power wrapped around the stones this time was a little stronger than last night.

Although not obvious, it could still be noticed if one paid close attention.

Kacha—At that moment, as Renji's mental power increased, the floating stone was directly destroyed by the pressure, turning into debris and drifting in the wind.

"No, if I just increase the amount of mental power wrapped, the stone won't be able to hold up."Renji frowned slightly, puzzled.

"By the way... since the stone can't bear too much mental power, I can compress it to make it stronger."

Acting on that thought, his mental power burst out again, controlling a stone to float toward his mouth.

Just as Renji entered his training state, at the other end of the Pokémon battle field—where the training equipment was—Dragonite was in the middle of its own exercises.

It had heavy equipment strapped to its back, and it moved up and down, doing push-ups with tense arm muscles.

Meanwhile, Espeon watched with a confused expression.

It first looked at Dragonite, then down at its own four legs. Tilting its head, it blinked, its little face full of question marks.

Just then, Dragonite turned its head and looked at Espeon, clearly unimpressed that it hadn't started moving.

Dragonite frowned slightly and couldn't help but roar:"Dora-Dora—"

Espeon nodded, then awkwardly moved its back legs backward, imitating Dragonite's movements and straightening its legs.

Then its front legs also moved up and down.

Seeing this, Dragonite's face became confused. There was nothing wrong with Espeon's movements, but... why did it look so awkward?

Shaking its head, Dragonite stopped thinking about it and continued its training.

In this way, time passed little by little during the training, and the sky slowly darkened again in the blink of an eye.

It was a pity that no new customers appeared during this day.
