Naruto: Mixed Heritage

13. Master of None

Renjiro had a plan for the two-month break. He wanted to ensure that Renjiro had a plan for the two-month break. He wanted to ensure that before his second year of the Academy started, he should be able to reduce the hand signs required for all his jutsus to only one hand sign.

This endeavour took him around two weeks to accomplish even with continuous training. With no classes, he was able to train from Dusk to dawn.

After accomplishing his goal, he planned to talk to Miwa about certain prospects he was interested in exploring. Currently, he was in Miwa's house.

"Aah Renjiro! It's been long since I last saw you. How is the Academy taking you?"

'He wasn't this tall the last time I saw him.' Miwa mused as he studied the young boy whose physical appearance had changed since she last saw him.

"It's been okay. I have just finished my first year and we are now on a two-month break."

"Of course, it was Okay for you I heard that you were at the top of your class. Good work Renjiro, keep it up."

"Thank you, Miwa-sama. It was all thanks to your help that I was able to perform well in my exams."

"You don't need to be humble Renjiro. Besides I have not been in the village for quite some time, so my help shouldn't have contributed much."

"It's Okay Miwa-sama, I actually came here because I need help with something"

"What do you need help with?" Miwa asked.

"Right before we closed for our break, our instructor mentioned some avenues that we could explore as shinobi and becoming a sensory nin caught my eye so you could help me with this?"

Miwa sat in silence as thoughts ran in her head.

'Hmm..., becoming a sensory ninja. Is he even fit for that? I have always thought that he would be suitable as an assault ninja because of his high chakra reserves. Not to forget, Renjiro has had issues with his chakra control so becoming a sensory nin, if possible, will be a tall order.

No, it would be counterproductive for me to discourage him at the start. I will just have to help him find his way and let him learn from his own mistakes.

But who should I ask to help him? Should I ask Sensei? He might be busy with the current skirmishes at the border. Well, it won't hurt to try.'

Miwa, concluding what she needed to do, asked,

"Are you sure about this?"

Renjiro quickly nodded. He wanted to be an all-rounded type of ninja, plus becoming a sensory ninja was an integral part of his plan. A master of none was better than a master of one.

In battle, sensory ninjas could discern hidden targets, and locate key opponents, giving their team, or even them as individuals, a strategic advantage.

"Okay then, meet me here tomorrow morning. We will go and see someone who can help you with this as I do not have much experience in this."

"Thank you Miwa-sama."

"Renjiro," right as he was leaving, Miwa held him back.

"Take a break. It's fine to train, but you have to have enough rest for your body to grow."

"I will do so Miwa-sama."

'I guess she really cares about me. This feels nice.'

Renjiro thought as he left and decided to have an off day today. After all, he had been training continuously for days. He decided to visit the town as his life in the clan compound had become monotonous lately.
