Training ends

Time passed quickly and, two months had passed now, during the past two months every day without fail Ren's students would be fighting with a clone of their teacher amassing large amounts of fighting experience.

Today was the end of their training and the beginning of resting before they would leave to attend the chunin exam held by the hidden leaf.

The day before the team had met up with Ren's actual body and, fought against him as a team, the results were as expected, even after training they still couldn't do much against Ren.

Now for the first time in two months, the training grounds were completely empty, as everyone had already left to relax in their own way, Ren on the other hand was currently in the Tsuchikage office.

"We have received word that the villages participating would be us and the hidden sand." says Onoki.

"It's as expected, do we know who they are sending" asked Ren.

"No, but it shouldn't be much of a problem, the hidden leaf will be the main target." says Onoki.

"I'm sure they will send the most genin to take the exam, even if our teams have better overall strength, they will still have to be careful of their numbers." says Ren.

"I agree, those two scheming men, would surely have at least joined together to make sure this goes smoothly for them." says Onoki.

"They would have no other choice, the Senju clan is almost completely gone, and the only other clan that's left that poses a threat to them would be the Uchiha, but with the war coming ever so quickly, they won't take action against them yet." says Ren.

Hearing this Onoki smiles.

"The truth of the matter is, these two aren't as smart as they think they are, their action, will ultimately weaken the hidden leaf more than we will, they can overlook the potential of two powerful clans, wiping out one simply because they thought it would pose a threat to their influence and power." says Onoki.

"To be honest the hidden leaf has pulled the shortest straw when it comes to Kage for this generation, scheming against members of his own village, unable to gain the loyalty of two very powerful clans, and fearing them so much that he leaked information about them leading to the clan's current pitiful state, a true leader is never afraid of the potential of his subordinates, but in fact encourages growth, Hiruzen Sarutobi doesn't have what it takes to make a great leader." says Ren.

The room was silent after Ren spoke, as Onki and Ren stared at each other, before...

"Hahahahahahahahaha!!!" they both burst out laughing.

"It's true what you said, but it is not a bad thing at least not for us, it's like having a spy who doesn't even know he's a spy, as he continuously weakens the hidden leaf we will take every opportunity provided to deal them with even more damage, after all, if we didn't wouldn't we be as incompetent as him?" asked Onoki in a serious voice.

" Many opportunities will present themselves before us, in the coming years, but the most important will always be getting more clans for the hidden stone, its no secret that the second Hokage didn't like the Uchiha, Hiruzen and Danzo fear them so it only right they suppress them, but will the Uchiha take this, the end result will be a war between them and the village, it may be further into the future, or we could fan the flames of hatred secretly and make things happen faster.

Then when that time comes, we either save the losing Uchiha clan and bring them to the hidden stone gaining another bloodline clan, or as both sides have suffered enough we destroy them both." says Ren with a smile on his face.

Hearing this Onoki sinks into his thoughts, fanning the hatred and remaining unseen is a hard task and if successful it could firmly knock the hidden leaf off the position of the strongest hidden village, but if discovered it would no doubt lead to war.

Onoki sat silent thinking about it before finally, he sighed.

"It's a good plan, but as you say it would happen in the future anyway without our interference, if we are discovered while carrying out this plan, war would erupt and the other villages would surely attack the winner after they had been exhausted." says Onoki.

"I'm not saying no, but let's build up our strength first, only when we can take out the leaf with minimal damage to ourselves will this plan be carried out, and the Chinoike clan still needs their revenge, it won't be good to think about the Uchiha to quickly, let's wait until the Chinoike clan's love for the village outweighs their hatred for the Uchiha." says Onoki.

"Alright, it's not urgent anyways, the hatred between the leaf and the Uchiha will only increase with time the later we start the easier it is to carry out." says Ren.
