Chapter 102 - T.N.J. Out of Nowhere

After Ren was able to convince Kabuto to join and asked him for a favor, he went back home to pass his time with his family, but once there he found only Karin playing shogi with Peri, so he asked "Karin where is everyone?".

And she replies "Your mom and dad went on a date to have some 'alone' time, and after you helped Sakura complete her seal, she went to the HQ to train with Sasuke and Itachi...but mainly for Sasuke... Ote (Check)!".

Then Ren sits near Karin and looks at their game while thinking 'Right now the situation is calm, in fact this is the calm before the storm, because in the original timeline, after Kakuzu and Hidan, a hell lot of things happen, from Sasuke killing Orochimaru, Deidara and his fight with Itachi, but that won't happen now, to Jiraiya death and Pain attack, another thing I want to avoid... and ends with the Fourth Shinobi War and all that shit... now that I think about it how does Obito gets all those White Zetsu? Did they come out of the Juubi statue?...shit I do not remember well, too much time passed...where is Wikipedia when you need it..."

Focusing back to Karin and Peri's game, he notices something, so he taps Karin shoulder and says "Ka-chan you are in Tsumi (Checkmate)...you have lost..." and Karin then notice this fact and scream "Haa! Where the hell this Knight come from!? Shit why I didn't notice this...".

Then Ren says "So what do you think if to console you for this defeat I take you out to a date in the Land of Flowers..." before Ren could even finish, Karin rush to his room to change while yelling "Okay!", after Karin was gone Ren looks at Peri with an evil grin and pulling out a small camera says "I... G...O..T... you on the Hall of Shame...cheating with your Wood Release because you were losing to Karin...with this all the member, well minus Kabuto who just joined, are in it...Muhahahaha" and before Peri could move, Ren disappeared with a Shunpo.

The next day Ren woke up in an inn in the Land of Flowers with a naked Karin next to him, and deciding to let her rest some more decided to stay on the futon while gently caressing Karin's hair 'For what I know right now Kisame is hunting down Son Goku, and Nagato is hunting Saiken, after they are done with those two the only ones remaining are Gyuki and Kurama... Is letting them do it really the best option... but if I do not let these things happen It will be harder to predict Zetsu movement, and he is too dangerous to be left unchecked... and right now the war that he will cause will be less dangerous, as Kabuto is on my side, and Orochimaru is dead so no Zombie Hokage to worry about... but without those will he still declare world on the others?'.

Ren's train of thought was interrupted by Karin's movement a clear sign that she was waking up, and in fact the next second she open her eyes and with a smile she says "Good morning Ren! Yesterday date was amazing" then with a grin she says "And the after date was even better", Ren who now is getting used to this side of her calmly replies while kissing her forehead "Good morning you too...now let's dress up and have breakfast, then we go back home as this time is crucial...and we have many things to do if we want to make this world a better place for our family".

Once they dressed and had breakfast, Ren and Karin teleported back to Konoha, and once back home they spent the next few days relaxing with their family and doing some light training, until one day Ren received a massage from Tsunade to come to the Hokage Office for a meeting, informing him that Jiraiya came back.

So Ren took Karin and Peri, in his Agent P persona, and calmly walked toward the administrative center of the village, and when they finally reached the office the figures of Tsunade, Kakashi, Shizune, Jiraiya and Naruto could be seen discussing.

"I tell you now that we know where the Akatsuki HQ is, the best thing to do is for me go there and gather some more information on our enemies" but before Tsunade could respond, Ren says "That is a useless endeavor Jiraiya-san... I know all there is to know about the Akatsuki... even if in some ways you too know more than you think...".

And hearing this remark Naruto ask "What do you mean Ren?" and Ren just says "Nagato, Konan, Yahiko... These are the names of the founding member of Akatsuki, a rather noble organization in its origin, with the goal to end the war plaguing their home... but like all the good things in this world Danzo and another manipulative asshole happen... Yahiko died and now Nagato is being manipulated and twisted by the one that calls himself Madara Uchiha in a foolish plan in the name of pace".

Then all of the sudden Jiraiya held on Ren's shoulders and said "Where is their HQ, I have to go and convince them to stop this, and if I can't, I have to end them myself..." but Ren counters "And die trying to do so? You know about Nagato gift... but not its power, and he isn't the only threat there... even more so as thanks to that conception error that was Danzo, now Nagato resent Konoha a lot, for all the misfortunes that happened in his life... your job now isn't to confront your first students, but to teach your last one so that he can confront him so that can make Nagato remember his true self...".

And while Jiraiya was left in deep thought, Ren turns to Naruto and ask "Naruto, Nagato ideals right now can be described in this sentence 'Without knowing pain, the world cannot walk into a future with peace and harmony.' Now what about yours?" and Naruto stood in silence for a few seconds before saying "Peace, I don't know how to get there, But, but someday I'll break the curse, If there's such a thing as peace, I will find it. Believe it!".

And at that moment Naruto in Ren's eyes seems almost shining in divine light, 'Ren-dono brace yourself!' but thanks to Senbonzakura he is able to recover, and he then pinches Karin and Peri to wake them up, while with a cold sweat on his back thinks 'The fuck... he just used the Talk no Jutsu out of nowhere, now everyone else is looking at him like he is the next savior... well kinda true... but still that is scary... and even worse he just uses it unconsciously'.

After that the direction of the discussion changed and now Jiraiya decided to help Naruto with his training at Mount Myōboku, while Ren asked to take Agent P with them as he too was learning about Senjutsu, but for now he can only feel the energy and not control it and merge it with Chakra.

Then Ren and Karin got out of the Hokage Office and then walked in the direction of the Hospital to meet with the discharged Taro and Jiro and learn about their answer.
