[I'm Your Father, Emo-Boy]

"Beat your clone? Are you looking down on me? Why don't the real you fight me!?" Sasuke said.

"Yeah, beat my clone, looking down on you? yup, that's right since it's the truth, just try it, fight my clone and you'll know the difference later." Ren answered nonchalantly.

Sasuke who heard his answer narrowed his eyes at Ren's clone before saying.

"Okay, it won't take me a long time to defeat your clone, let's go to the field."

Sasuke then got up and lead Ren's clone who followed him out of the house leaving the 'real' Ren and Mikoto alone there.

"Is that okay?" Mikoto asked and felt a little worried.

Ren smiled at her and put his arm around her before answering.

"Don't worry, as his 'father' I must teach a lesson to my son who is disrespectful to his 'father'."

Mikoto blushed slightly and pinched his waist playfully.

Ren pretended to wince in pain before laughing.

"Anyway, he has to know himself and he has to stop bragging or exalting himself, just let him be self-aware." Ren added.

Mikoto took a thinking position as she thought of Ren's reasonable words.

She knew her son did have the best grades in the academy or she could say he was perfect in the ninja lessons he received at the academy.

But apart from all this, what Ren said is also true, Sasuke must stop being arrogant and there must be someone who teaches or tells him so he is self-aware.

Mikoto would sometimes tell him and Sasuke would listen too, but not if it was someone else telling him or teaching him.

Therefore Mikoto didn't stop Ren teaching him and made him realize through fighting for her son, Sasuke.

"If through words he doesn't want to listen, then another effective way is through fighting." Ren said.

Ren then took out a ring, {Destiny Ring}, from his storage to Mikoto's surprise.

"Besides, this is for you..."

Ren paused his words and took Mikoto's hand before placing the ring on her ring finger and continuing.

"This is a sign of you being my woman, my wife."

Mikoto stroked the ring on her ring finger as a sweet smile appeared on her face.

She then raised her head to look at Ren before sitting on his lap and kissing him.

Their passionate kiss lasted for several minutes before Mikoto separated her lips from Ren's and asked.

"Just out of curiosity, I am the twelfth wife?"

"Well you are my thirteenth wife." Ren replied.

"Didn't you say the note you left you had eleven-"

Mikoto paused as she realized something and chuckled before continuing.

"That's right, Kushina-chan..."

Ren chuckled and stroked her head before saying.

"Well, I don't show favoritism with the first, second, and so on, I treat all of you the same as I only have one wife."

Mikoto just smiled and said nothing as she buried her head in Ren's neck hugging him.

"Hey... can you tell me the names of your wives besides Kushina?" Mikoto suddenly asked.

"Hm? Of course, they are..."

"Shizuka, Rika, Kyoko, Yuriko, Kiriko, Yui, Kaguya, Saeko, Saya, Rei, Yuuki."

Ren said while Mikoto was counting on her fingers.

"It seems you are loved enough that you have had thirteen wives including me in total." Mikoto then said with a giggle.

"Hehe I'm a loving and kind person, what can I do~" Ren said with a chuckle.

"Are you going to stay? it is evening and night is coming." Mikoto said.

"I guess so, I already told your other sister I'll be staying the night and we'll meet again tomorrow one hour before the Chunnin exams start." Ren replied.

"Glad to hear that, we will come there, I also want to see Sasuke appear there." Mikoto said.

"Yup, you can meet and get to know your other sisters there later considering we will get together an hour before the exam starts." Ren said while nodding his head.

In that way, Ren and Mikoto were making out and chatting together.

Sometimes they also joke around which makes Mikoto laugh or giggle every now and then.

Not long after that his clone came back with Sasuke on his shoulder like a sack.

Sasuke looked battered with bruises on his face here and there.

Ren's clone really didn't hold back by beating him black and blue.

Ren then healed him using his Void energy at his will as Sasuke's face and wounds all over his body returned to normal in an instant.

He thought he wanted to use his Chakra energy but chose not to.

Given the extremely terrifying nature of his Void energy, Sasuke kept screaming in agony in the process which made Ren feel content to teach the boy a lesson.

Mikoto somehow seemed to know what his actions meant which made her sigh.

[Ren... you are becoming a sadistic.]

Aoi's voice was heard inside his head when Ren answered her immediately.

'You're wrong, I didn't enjoy seeing or hearing his screams in agony, but I was content to teach this arrogant brat a lesson.'

[Isn't that the same...]

'That's different, sadistic is when someone enjoys or feels satisfied seeing someone's suffering or torment directly.'

'While I was content to 'teach a lesson' to this brat.'

'At first glance it can make people mistaken, but the 'base' or 'reason' is clearly different.'

'Well, though I won't argue back when you call me a sadist while having sex with my wife.'

Ren defended himself against Aoi's words.

[Humph! You really are a beast when it comes to sex.]

Ren just shrugged and stopped his conversation with Aoi.

Sasuke slowly stood up and his body flinched as he imagined the pain he received when Ren healed him.

He looked at Ren with frightened eyes at the monster in front of him who smiled gently at him.

'A monster in human skin!' Sasuke thought.

He couldn't help but think back to his fight against his clone.

His clone just dodged continuously to the point of draining his Chakra before the clone beat him up with pure physical strength without using Chakra.

Ren then canceled his clone again when his clone disappeared in thin air.

"How? do you understand what I'm saying?" Ren asked.

Sasuke who heard it nodded his head hurriedly.

"Good, so focus on your academy first and become strong with the aim of protecting the people you care about." Ren added while nodded.

Sasuke made a complicated face as if lost in his thoughts when he heard Ren's voice coming back.

"Understand?"

Ren 'smiled' which wasn't a smile at him as he pretended to crack his neck.

Sasuke who heard it woke up from his thoughts and hastily nodded his head.

"Good, now you can go to your room and rest, tomorrow is your big day on stage." Ren said.

Sasuke then went into his room leaving Ren and Mikoto in the living room alone.
