Renjiro looked at his students and said, "Let's go, let's go out to eat."
His students followed him.
Mieko asked, "Teacher, which restaurants are still open at this hour?"
Renjiro said, "The ramen shop should be open. Hurry up, I'm treating."
He Body Flickered away, and his students followed, arriving at the ramen shop to order ramen.
Renjiro asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
Mieko replied, "I'm going to join the Konoha Military Police Force."
Hodaka said, "My father arranged for me to join a squad, and I'll be doing more missions."
Feng Zheng said, "I'm not sure yet, I haven't thought about it. I'll probably spend some time mastering the Wind Vacuum Technique."
Renjiro thought for a moment and said, "Mieko, I know that Uchiha clan members all join the Military Police Force. However, there aren't many opportunities for combat in the Military Police Force. I suggest you go on a few more missions to gain more experience. This will be very helpful for becoming a Jonin."
Mieko nodded and said, "Yes, Teacher. If the Military Police Force isn't challenging enough, I'll also take on some difficult missions."
Renjiro smiled. He looked at Hodaka and said, "Hodaka, don't forget to practice Ninjutsu."
Hodaka reluctantly nodded and said, "Yes, Teacher."
Renjiro looked at Feng Zheng and said, "Feng Zheng, training is good, but don't forget to do missions. On the battlefield, your skills will grow much faster than on the Training Grounds."
Feng Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, Teacher."
Teuchi served the ramen. They began to eat. Renjiro ate and said, "Chunin is an important stage. Your leadership skills can be honed during this stage, and you'll be able to undertake a variety of missions and collaborate with many Chunin companions."
"When performing missions, complete them with Chunin you've never worked with before. This will help you learn more about other Ninja's skills. You might even discover some skills or Ninjutsu that are very suitable for you. So keep an open mind and observe everyone carefully."
He paused, his tone serious. "Of course, the most important thing is to take care of your lives, avoid unnecessary risks, and complete missions in the most efficient way. When you can defeat an enemy with less effort, don't put yourself in danger for the sake of an interesting fight."
All three nodded seriously. Until now, they could play freely because Renjiro was looking after them. But things wouldn't be like that anymore.
Renjiro said, "There's one more thing I want you to know. Feng Zheng, do you remember our conversation about Bloodline Limits?"
Feng Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I remember, Teacher."
Mieko asked, "What did you discuss?"
Renjiro replied, "We didn't discuss much."
He looked at Feng Zheng and said, "Last time, because you were still training, I didn't tell you some details. In fact, besides Bloodline Limits inherited through blood, Bloodline Limits can also be created by fusing two bloodline natures."
Mieko and Hodaka were surprised to learn this. Feng Zheng was astonished. He thought, "What? Bloodline Limits can be created? And by people who don't belong to that bloodline?"
Mieko asked, "Teacher, how can one create a Bloodline Limit?"
Renjiro said, "Take Scorch Release, for example. It's a Bloodline Limit formed by Fire Release and Wind Release. If a Ninja masters both of these natures and can perfectly fuse them, then that Ninja will be able to use Scorch Release."
Mieko quickly asked with an excited tone, "Does this mean I can have two Bloodline Limits?"
Renjiro nodded and said, "If you can perfectly fuse two natures, then yes."
He paused for a few seconds, allowing his students to absorb the information. He continued, "However, achieving this is almost impossible. It's understood that very few people have obtained Bloodline Limits through this method. I didn't tell you this before because I didn't want you to waste time on it. Even a genius Ninja as powerful as Hokage-sama cannot do it."
Feng Zheng thought to himself, "Ugh. Even Hiruzen can't do it. But he said, very few people can. Who are they? How did they successfully fuse natures?"
Mieko asked, "Teacher, how do you fuse two natures?"
Renjiro smiled and said, "I don't know, I've never done it. The most basic requirement is that you must completely master two natures, only then can you attempt to fuse them."
"No one in Konoha currently can do this. The Second and Third Hokage spent years trying, but never succeeded. Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, also tried, but failed."
"However, we have done a lot of research on this and concluded that successfully fusing two natures requires a great deal of luck, and perhaps some kind of enlightenment. While talent is also a factor, it's not enough to achieve this goal."
This news lowered the hopes of Feng Zheng and Mieko. Hodaka didn't care about this. Feng Zheng thought, "Enlightenment. I guess that's the only way to explain why Kakashi, Hiruzen, and Orochimaru, among others, haven't achieved this. Nevertheless, it's definitely worth a try. I need to decide which elements to attempt."
After analyzing, Feng Zheng asked, "Teacher, is this method only effective for elemental Bloodline Limits? Can Bloodline Limits like Sharingan, Byakugan, and Shikotsumyaku also be created?"
Mieko and Hodaka were surprised by this question. They both looked at Feng Zheng, because he had just mentioned their Bloodline Limits.
Renjiro replied, "No. At least there are no records of these three Bloodline Limits appearing outside of bloodlines."
Feng Zheng was very disappointed. He sighed inwardly, thinking, "Alas, I thought there was an easier way to reach the top. I don't know how much elemental Bloodline Limits can help me, but something like Sharingan or Shikotsumyaku would make me much stronger."
Renjiro said, "In any case, don't try to fuse two natures in a short amount of time. None of you have fully mastered the transformation of a single nature yet. Fusion requires reaching a level similar to or above my Earth Release and Water Release."
"I'm telling you this just to give you some understanding. This way, if one of you is lucky enough to have an enlightenment in the future, you won't miss out on good fortune."
All three nodded. Feng Zheng thought, "My Wind Release isn't at that level yet. There's really no need to consider this in the short term."
The group finished their ramen and left the ramen shop. Renjiro looked at his students and said, "I'm glad Hokage-sama appointed me as your teacher. You have become excellent Ninja."
The three bowed respectfully and said in unison, "Thank you, Teacher, for your guidance and training."
Renjiro said with a moved expression, "Go, get some good rest."
He Body Flickered and disappeared.
Feng Zheng, Hodaka, and Mieko watched Renjiro Body Flicker away. Hodaka said sadly, "I'll miss training under him. We became so strong in just one year!"
Feng Zheng nodded and said, "Yes. We're lucky to have him as a teacher. As far as I know, other teachers don't put this much effort into their students."
Mieko nodded and said, "Yes, even my parents respect him very much."
The three looked at each other.
Feng Zheng said, "I guess this means we won't be seeing each other often either."
Hodaka and Mieko nodded.
Hodaka said, "Hmm, we can occasionally go on missions together."
Mieko nodded. "Yes, that would be fun."
She looked at Hodaka and smiled, "Maybe you can learn something that can help you join Feng Zheng and my combination Ninjutsu."
Hodaka's shoulders slumped. Although he had developed many combination Ninjutsu with Feng Zheng and Mieko, none could compare to Feng Zheng and Mieko's Wind and Fire combination.
Feng Zheng said, "I heard that Jiraiya of the Sannin uses oil Ninjutsu to enhance his Fire Ninjutsu. I'm not sure if that's part of Water Release. If it is, then you can look into it. This way, both oil and wind can enhance Mieko's Fire Ninjutsu."
Hodaka and Mieko were both surprised by this suggestion. Hodaka said, "I never thought of using oil."
Mieko said, "Me neither. The combination of fire, wind, and oil sounds very powerful. Feng Zheng, that's a great idea."
Hodaka asked, "Why didn't you tell me this sooner?"
Feng Zheng shrugged and said, "I just thought of it. Besides, did you really want to learn more Ninjutsu during our training?"
Hodaka immediately became embarrassed. He replied, "Sorry, you're right."
The three looked at each other again, saying nothing more. Hodaka said, "Let's go, everyone, good luck, and next time we meet, let's have a big free-for-all!"
Feng Zheng and Mieko both laughed.
Feng Zheng said, "Alright, I hope you two can last a little longer next time."
Mieko and Hodaka looked at Feng Zheng angrily. But Feng Zheng had already Body Flickered away, and only his laughter echoed.
Mieko said, "That bastard is as annoying as ever!"
Hodaka sighed and said, "Yeah, he was so quiet in school, I didn't expect him to have this side."
Mieko said, "Alright, goodbye, Hodaka."
Hodaka nodded and said, "Goodbye."
The two left for their respective homes.
Renjiro Squad, formed a year ago, completed 7 Rank D, 41 Rank C, and 3 Rank A Missions, and was disbanded today!
