20 Chapter 20: Leaving Team 2 (1/2)
It had been weeks since Ren had returned from his mission with Team 2. Ren was now at the age of eleven, and so was Itachi. Izumi had become more skilled in genjutsu, and with the aid of her Sharingan, she became more skilled at genjutsu than most Jonin. As for Zoro he had learned many Jutsus' and had become able to use Jutsus' almost instantaneously. Ren had been working on improving his chakra infusion when he decided to attempt to infuse his lightning into his body just like the Raikage's thunder coat. However, after weeks practice he could only have his arms fully coated, if he were to expand the chakra anymore it would dissipate almost instantly.
Recalling how long it had been since he entered the world of Naruto, Ren knew he didn't have much time before Itachi would become a Missing-nin and slaughter the Uchiha. Determined to change Itachi's fate as a future Missing-nin, he went to find Asuma.
Not long, he arrived at Asuma's home. Knocking on the door, Ren asked: ”Asuma sensei are you home?”.
With the door opening, Asuma came out yawning, ”What is it, Ren?”
”Asuma sensei I need to speak to you about something.” said with a serious tone.
Seeing Ren's serious tone, Asuma invited Ren inside to sit before asking ”what do you want to talk about?”
Sitting down, Ren bowed to Asuma before telling Asuma his future plans.
”I'm grateful for the things you've taught me and the memories we shared as part of Team 2, but I need to move on.”
”Have you decided on what to do in the future?” Asuma said with a sigh.
”I've decided to join the Anbu, I don't have much time and I need to get stronger.” since Ren couldn't tell Asuma the actual reason for him wanting to join the Anbu, he just said whatever came to his head.
”What are you so rushed on for?” Asuma concernedly asked.
”It's just that I want to catch up to Itachi as soon as possible, if I don't do what I can, I will definitely fall behind”
”Have you told Izumi and Zoro you were leaving Team 2 yet?”
”I haven't”
”I see, I'll tell them for you so you don't have to worry,” Asuma said while stroking his beard.
