7 Fuinjutsu Prodigy: Yurei (Parte-1)

Hokage nodded while reading the file in his office, in front of him was Hatake Sakumo

"Good Job in dispatching, those Iwa shinobis in such a fast and efficient manner"

"Thank You, Lord Hokage"

"Is there something else...if not you are dismissed, your next assignment will be given to you Later"

"Lord Hokage, There is a favor I wish you to grant"

"Speak"

"Uzumaki Renji...I wish to accept him as my personal disciple...But since he is openly against wearing Konoha Headband, I can't do that, without arising questions, as to why am I teaching a brat of another Village"

"Uzumaki's Renji Loyalty does not lie to Konoha, But I know this for a fact that he will not go against us, till we go against Kushina and him... Very well, I will handle the paperwork, don't worry about that and accept him as your disciple, if you wish to, but, what's the reason...for you to want him so much"

-------

Renji woke up, squinting his eyes open...

"Ugh...Where the heck Am I?", he muttered

"You are in the Hospital", came the voice of a white-haired man who was sitting beside him

Renji turned his head to the side...

"Thank you for saving my life...Lord Hatake"

"That's quite the way of speaking you got...beside your little sister is quite something I must say, she sat there for 2 straight weeks before, I sent her to the academy"

!!!

"2 weeks...Crap...my monthly wage, Dammit...Lord Hatake, I apologize but I need to go and collect my monthly wage", he said as he begins to move

Sakumo chuckled and forcefully laid him to the bed once more

"You can collect it Later, If you wish"

"T-Thank you, sir, But why are you here anyway"

Hatake smiled, "Straight to the point...I like that, Brat tell me do you wish to be my disciple?"

He was sure, Renji will say yes, after all, children of his age adored heroes, and he definitely is a hero

"No", Renji said plainly

"Yes, then we shou-...WAIT!! WHAT!!!

"I don't wish to be your disciple, I am sorry"

"w-wait, why, I mean, why don't you wish to be my disciple"

"Being a genin, I can not earn much...since, this is a war period means we can't get many missions either, being in the corps, does earn more"

"Indeed, Being in a corps do earn more, but what if I promise, I will pay the same amount of money on a monthly basis"

"No"

"Why"

"There is no free lunch in the world, I don't believe you"

"You rasca- *Cough*Cough... Little brat, There is no hidden condition, I just wish to take you as my disciple"

"Nope, If I can, I don't wish to take a life"

"Yet, you were there, on a battlefield"

"I was there to earn money, not to take a life"

"Yet you killed"

"I KILLED TO SAVE"

"Exactly, Kid, do you know why I have never taken a disciple of my own till date?, Why I have never taught anyone Hatake Swordsplay?... Because they all fight to kill...Weapons, Jutsus, they are not meant to kill...They are meant to save", Sakumo started

"There's a war coming, several wars, and civilians are the one who takes the biggest stress of it; if we don't kill them then they will come to us kill the civilians, old, women, children people who don't have the capability to protect themselves... Innocence dies; innocents die- this is what happens in a war.....i lived through it, so I know it better than anyone else out there", he finished

"NII SAAN", came the yelling of Kushina as she came running

"Think About it kid, and also, whether you become My disciple or not, I promise your salary will be the same...good-bye", with that he disappeared in a lightning break

!!!

'What the heck?'

"Nii-san", Kushina came running as she hugged him tightly

-------

Next day, Renji packed Kushina's lunch, and although she told him about the bullying with everyone calling her red tomato but Knowing Kushina and her strength alongside her temper, he did not mind...

He happily sent her to the academy...

-------

(Outside the academy gate)

He was watching studying from the windows while standing on the branch of the tree

"So, are you ready?", asked Sakumo

"Yea, to protect her...I will need to be strong...I will kill the entire world if it means saving her", said Renji

Sakumo nodded he put his hand on Renji shoulder as they both disappeared in a lightning break

-------

"Swordsmanship is about using a sword to kill. Often, it only takes one strike to send someone to their death. Any personal desires or thoughts added on top of that often decrease its value. Swords aren't majestic, they are simply a tool for killing. In my opinion, the greatest sword is the one that is the fastest to execute, and the first to strike your opponent's weakness. One without any wasted movements and that can most quickly achieve your objective, But all that would be wasted if you are not physically capable of balancing yourself"

"I can balance myself"

"You can't, not yet"

"Yes I can"

*Thump

Suddenly he dropped on his back as Sakumo just swiftly swipe his leg

"See, I told you, you can't balance yourself"

Grrr...

What we are going to train, are not some fanciful moves, we are going to train, drawing your sword, thrusting your sword, swiping your sword, and parrying with your sword...I can't teach you Fuinjutsu, Since your fuinjutsu level is already higher than mine, but I will teach you earth elemental ninjutsu, and various tricks to use it in battle...

A month has been gone by, Just like that, and Renji trained like a dog in the heat...he trained, trained and keep training, the only thing besides training is taking care of the household needs of Kushina

"Okay this exercise is simple, your only goal is to hit me. The catch is I'll be throwing these rocks at you. Like so." Sakumo spoke as she threw the rock at Renji who dodged. He had a smirk on his face. Sakumo frowned, "Wipe that smirk off your face. That was only a practice throw, plus now I know how fast I have to be to actually hit you." he smirked as Renji's smirked turned to a look of slight fear.

After eight Straight hours of dodging. Sakumo decided to move on to other things such as chakra control. This was a tough task given just how huge his chakra is...but the one who has previously trained him, surely know what they were doing, Renji foundation was just too good, no it was almost perfect...

-------

In the Hokage office, Sakumo and Renji alongside a Yamanaka, and a Hyuuga were on their knee

Hokage: "Your Job is simple, Extract and bring the prisoner from the land of snow, the exact location and the drawing of the prisoner will be given to you by the informant at Konoha Gate"

"YES LORD HOKAGE"

"Also, there is a scroll carrying the utmost information, try to bring it back, you will know the exact information from the informant at Konoha Gate"

"YES LORD HOKAGE"

"You 4 can't take the entire village by yourself, and if you are caught, there will political issue, try not to get caught...and even if you do, never ever let them find about your affiliation...

"YES LORD HOKAGE"

"DISMISSED"

"YES!!!"

-------

In the midst of the summer at midnight, where countless shinobis were patrolling

4 shadows appeared on a rooftop...to stealthy rescue the prisoner...

4 of them were wearing the blank mask, with no headband what so ever...with black clothes from top to bottom, as the only thing visible on their head is their hair...

4 of them began to run....
