7.TRUTH

As I waited for the village head at the training ground, my anticipation grew with each passing moment. Finally, I caught sight of him approaching, but as he drew closer, I couldn't help but notice the troubled expression etched upon his face. It left me wondering what kind of trouble the village head was facing.

As he made his way toward me, I felt a wave of confusion wash over me. His hesitant stare made me even more unsure of what to expect. I waited patiently for him to say something, but instead, he remained silent. It was as if he was searching for the right words to say, but couldn't seem to find them.

The silence lingered for what felt like an eternity until he finally spoke. However, his words were barely audible and lacked any real substance. The whole situation left me feeling more puzzled than before.

I couldn't help but wonder if something was bothering him and if there was anything I could do to help. The uncertainty of the situation lingered in the air as we both stood there, unsure of what to say or do next.

I stood there, staring blankly as the village head handed me a file. Initially, I was taken aback and felt confused about why he was giving me this file. As I looked closer, I realized that it might be the jutsu that the village head had been preparing for me, and my heart swelled with gratitude.

Despite my elation, I couldn't help but notice that the expression on the village head's face had changed. It seemed as though he was experiencing conflicting emotions, which only served to confuse me further.

As I examined the file, trying to comprehend what it contained, the village head spoke up. His words added another layer of complexity to the situation, leaving me even more puzzled than before.

"Open it and decide what to do with blue flames power," he said, his voice hesitant and full of uncertainty.

His words left me feeling bewildered. I understand the "blue flames power," but why was I being asked to decide what to do with it? The more I thought about it, the more questions I had.

Despite my confusion, I knew that the village head had my best interests at heart. He wouldn't have given me this file if he didn't think it would benefit me in some way.

So, with a mix of curiosity and trepidation, I opened the file and began to study its contents.

As I nervously opened the file, my eyes were immediately drawn to the bold, all-caps title at the top: "THE LEGEND OF THE BLUE FLAMES." My heart sank as I realized that this was no ordinary jutsu. Oh no, this was something much bigger and more significant than I could have ever imagined.

As I began to read through the file, my mind went blank. It was as if all the excitement and anticipation that had been building up inside me for the past few days had suddenly disappeared, replaced by a sense of overwhelming confusion and dread.

I couldn't help but feel a sense of shame wash over me. All of those silly songs and chants about the blue flames suddenly seemed so ridiculous, and I couldn't believe that I had been swept up in the excitement.

I mean, I had been shouting about the power of the blue flames like a madman, and now, as I held the file in my hands, I felt like such a fool. The weight of my embarrassment was almost too much to bear. Give me back my excitement.

As I read through the file, my mind was racing with all the possibilities. The blue flames were said to be as powerful as the Uchiha's Amaterasu, a fact that both thrilled and worried me.

I knew firsthand the side effects that came with using Amaterasu. It was a dangerous jutsu that could easily spiral out of control, and I couldn't help but wonder if the same would be true for the blue flames.

But the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. If I could control the blue flames, and use them only in the direst of situations, then maybe, just maybe, I could harness their power for good.

Of course, there was still the risk involved. But as a ninja, I had always known that danger was a part of the job. And with the potential power of the blue flames at my fingertips, I was willing to take that risk.

As I closed the file and stood up, a sense of determination filled me. I couldn't wait to test out the blue flames and see what they were truly capable of. It was a risk, but it was a risk worth taking.

onoki's pov

As Ren took the file from him, Onoki couldn't help but notice the change in the boy's expression. At first, it seemed like embarrassment, but then it shifted into something darker - almost like depression.

For a moment, Onoki felt a twinge of sadness. He had seen too many young ninja fall victim to the pressures of the job, and he didn't want Ren to be one of them.

But then, just as quickly as it had come, the expression on Ren's face changed again. It was like a light had gone on inside him, and Onoki felt a surge of hope.

He knew that being a ninja was never easy and that there were bound to be moments of doubt and fear. But he also knew that the strongest ninja were the ones who could push through those moments and emerge even stronger on the other side.

As Ren gathered himself and stood up, Onoki couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. He had faith in the boy

After a few minutes of poring over the file, Ren felt his nerves begin to settle. He took a deep breath and turned to Onoki, determined to make the most of this opportunity.

"Sensei, I'm ready to use the power of the blue flame," he said, his voice steady and resolute. "I know it's dangerous, but I promise to be careful when I use it. I'll only use it in the direst situations, and I'll do everything in my power to control it."

Onoki nodded, impressed by the boy's determination. He knew that the power of the blue flame was not to be taken lightly, and he was glad to see that Ren understood the gravity of the situation.

"Very well," he said, handing Ren a set of records from previous blue flame users. "These records should give you some insight into how the power works, and how to best control it. Study them carefully, and remember - with great power comes great responsibility."

Ren nodded, his eyes flicking over the records with a mix of excitement and trepidation. He knew that the road ahead would not be easy, but he was ready to face whatever challenges came his way.

As Onoki turned to leave, Ren felt a surge of gratitude washes over him.
